Ying yue is a cute girl who lives on her own in a small but beautiful house on a meadow. her father disappeared when she was 3 and her mother died when she was 5 years old. Her mother thought her to read, write and play. Travellers rarely pass by th...
Chen Shang tossed and turned in his sleep that night. Thinking of the next day gave him feelings of butterflies in stomach.
Strangely though, Yue slept very peacefully.
And as Dawn broke and beams of light began to adorn the entire palace, festivity was in the air.
The most anticipated day has finally come!!
Tang, the lovely blue bird, chirped joyfully as Yue woke up.
Just when her feet was about to touch the floor, a series of knockings came upon her door.
Li Hua, opened the door only to have plenty of maids surging forth and escorting her mistress to a bath.
Yue could only go with the flow as she entered the bathing quarters and strictly forbid anyone to enter.
She slowly dipped her toes into the water and after finding the water to be warm and just right, she slowly drenched in.
The pleasant fragnance bought comfort over her and made her feel slightly sleepy.
She found shelves racked up with many oils, preserved flower petals, shampoo and soaps.
Yue called for, and a maid came in.
"Of course, you can use how much ever you like! It may seem new, so please let me assist you." Said an enthusiastic little maid.
As the little maid helped Yue a big silence befell outside.
The maids who were waiting outside were filled anxiety as they discussed an important issue at hand.
"What will the mistress wear?!?!"
Li Hua sent some of them to the empress to ask for the wedding clothes.
However, those maids couldn't reach the empress and had to stop in their tracks to greet the empress dowager, Lian Ying.

[The Empress Dowager, Lian Ying.]
Time seemed to have little effect on her beauty, but her skin was pale and her hair already turning grey.
But, there was a mighty aura that surrounded her.
Lian Ying was the imperial consort of the previous king who came to this position when both the former Emperor and Empress died, and their son took up the throne.
She didn't feel anything at all. She just lived her life as any normal person. Eating, walking, sleeping and repeating the entire process again.
As she saw the maids rushing, she asked them what's the matter, and a frightened maid told her all the news.
"Oh. So, that's the problem. Her name is Ying Yue, isn't it..? And, that's why the whole palace was so bustling these days..." She thought out loud.
