Chapter 3: Beginning My Harem Life
The next day, the sun had just risen, and I woke up early, got dressed, and got ready for the day. Time is precious and precious in the court, and unexpected things can happen at every moment, so I have to be vigilant at all times.
I cautiously walked through the corridors of the court, with light steps, trying not to attract too much attention. Every time I passed through the corners of the court, I scanned my surroundings with my eyes, vigilantly observing the movements around me. The court is full of scheming and intrigue, and I must always be vigilant and give no one a chance.
I went to the Queen's sister's quarters and knocked softly on the door. The moment the door opened, I saw the queen's sister sitting in front of the dresser, her beautiful makeup even more touching against the faint light. I bowed respectfully, smiled and said, "Good morning, Sister Queen, you look even more beautiful today." ”
The queen's sister smiled slightly, her eyes revealing appreciation. "Chu Yao, you are really a smart girl who knows how to speak," her voice was gentle and kind.
I felt a wave of pride and satisfaction, but I knew that this was just the beginning and that there were many more trials ahead of me. I humbly responded: "Sister Queen, your praise is the greatest encouragement to me, I will study hard and adapt to the rules and etiquette of the court as soon as possible." ”
The queen's sister nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.
"Yao'er, you know that there are many powers and intrigues hidden in the court, and you must always be vigilant. You, as my personal maid, will have important responsibilities. ”
I was slightly stunned, and a trace of nervousness swelled in my heart, but soon I put away the waves in my heart and replied respectfully: "Yes, Sister Queen, I understand the importance of this responsibility, and I will do my best to live up to your trust in me." ”
Sister Queen, smiling, stretched out her hand and patted me lightly on the shoulder. "Very well, Yao'er, I believe you can do it. The situation in the palace is changing, and we need to trust and support each other. From today onwards, you will be my closest person, if there is anything, just ask me. ”
I bowed my head gratefully, tears of emotion glistening in my eyes. "Sister Queen, thank you for your trust."
The queen's sister voice was soft and warm. "Okay, Chu Yao, you go and do your business. Remember, there are many eyes on you in the court, and you have to be careful not to give others a chance. ”
I respectfully accepted the order and withdrew. Although on the surface I am the personal palace maid of the queen's sister, I know in my heart that this is my chance to protect myself. In the court, I will use wisdom and scheming to protect my secrets and find my own way out.
The glimmer of hope shimmered at my path. In the court, only scheming and wisdom can survive, and I will use these as weapons to fight for a better future for myself.
I left the Queen's sister's dwelling with a light step, and my heart was full of thoughts. Surviving in the court requires not only being vigilant and intelligent, but also building a strong network of contacts and relationships. I realized that it was important to have good relationships with other ladies of the court.
I decided to go into the small hall of the court, where a group of ladies gathered. They were busy embroidering, sewing clothes, or chatting about gossip and news. I approached them with a smile and exuded a gentle and friendly atmosphere.
When a palace maid saw me coming, she stopped what she was doing and asked curiously, "Chu Yao, have you just met the queen mother?" Anything new? ”
I smiled and nodded, and said with a little mystery: "The queen mother is thinking about some things about choosing a concubine in the harem
When the other palace maids heard this, they all showed interested expressions and couldn't wait to ask me for more details.
I smiled lightly and replied gently, "I can't reveal too many details yet. ”
When the palace maids heard this, their eyes flashed with curiosity and anticipation
Through the communication with the palace ladies, I got some gossip news from within the palace and gained some understanding of the relationship within the court. These messages will serve as a reference for my future actions and help me better cope with various situations and challenges.
With everyone's communication and the spread of gossip, Li Xueer became the focus of the topic. It is said that she is not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding in talent, attracting the attention of a son.
Everyone was talking, full of curiosity and anticipation. Some speculated about the son of a family, while others expressed envy and jealousy.
He also said that Li Xueer wrote a good poem at the banquet of a noble girl.
