Tang Shen

Her name is Shen Wantang, the daughter of a sixth-grade official. She has a dull temperament, doesn't like to talk, and hides away when seeing people. In the twelfth year of Yonghe's reign, the draft order came down, and the whole family was happy. She smiled and agreed, but she was terribly afraid - there were so many people in the palace, and she even blushed when talking to the neighbors. How could she survive? On the night before entering the palace, her mother gave her a pair of cloth shoes in the dark with begonia flowers embroidered on the shoes, and only told her: "Everyone in the palace likes to see smiling faces." She walked into the vermilion palace wall with these shoes and these words. In the Chuxiu Palace, there were many other people competing for their family background and talents, but she sat quietly in the last row doing needlework. Everyone thought that this boring gourd would not make any waves, until the first selection, she embroidered a begonia, and the nun in charge looked at it again and again in the light, and was speechless. From then on, this daughter of a petty official, whom no one paid attention to, embroidered a world of her own from promise to noble concubine with her hands. She has never relied on family background and scheming in this life, but what silence has taught her - see the situation clearly before speaking, and look at people's hearts before targeting.
