The sarden and a small thicket of bamboo was the entrance of the said courtyard On the door were two large words, “Lunar Sanctuary” Although the words were not etched very deeply and the handwriting delicate, there was an unspeakable charm With one look, you could tell it ritten by a woman
(TL:眠月幽居 Literal: Sleep estions)
Inside the s tree was a young lady clothed in white, white cloth covering her face, her eyes closed Her left hand lay at her waist while her right ar had fallen onto the ground covered in wutong leaves Other wutong leaves had landed on her head Evidently, the young girl was fast asleep
On a afternoon in late autu one’s eyes for a
From the distance, the sound of rapid footsteps approached The young lady clothed in white’s eyebrows knit Before they arrived, she quietly scolded, “Xia Yue, I’ve said it before so many times Why can’t you fix your impatient personality?”
Xia Yue, hearing the words, slowed down for auntil she arrived at the lady in white’s side “Miss, there’s trouble!”
The lady in white ho Xia Yue referred to as Miss, also the Zi clang’s seventh daughter, Zi Yinye She opened her eyes, slowly sat up, then calhtly, and then finally said quietly, “What is it now? Is second ain? Or is first brother causing trouble again?”

“Neither of those!”
“Then did second brother…”
“Not that either!”
Zi Yinye’s voice carried ridicule as she said, “Or is fathera fourth mother?”
“Aiya! No, no!”
Zi Yinye said impatiently, “Then what is it? If it’s not relevant to !”

“Last year is last year, this year is this year Miss, the draft is reaaaally related to you”
Hearing this, Zi Yinye snorted softly “How? Is ?”
“Yes, Miss!”
Zi Yinye looked up i, Father pulled soly appearance to lose face for the Zi clan What’s more, the clan already has two imperial concubines within the palace! And in any case, father has already forgotten my existence, I’m afraid!”
Detecting the faint satire in Zi Yinye’s voice, Xia Yue sighed, then said, “Miss, this time it was madam…”
“Mother?!” Zi Yinye called out in shock, then iot about et Father’s attention toso that Father would send my name”
Xia Yue nodded Zi Yinye frowned “Oh, of course Hoould Father even think of letting o It turns out it was… ah! What a otten about mother! Mother sure is meddlesome!”
“Mada for you, Miss Master wasn’t able to out-talk Madam, so…”
A flash of helplessness and disdain glea prejudiced nor hi It’s just that he lost the chance to be caring Once it was too late, he didn’t kno to care for uilt so he agreed with Mother! It’s really funny how everybody thinks having the chance of being iht over one ”
“Miss, what do we do? If you’re chosen, then you…”
“Idiot, what are you so nervous about? Just because my name is sent doesn’tthe emperor is very small Also, I will definitely not be chosen”
“Miss, how are you so sure?”
