During the Qingming Festival, the sky was clear. Xia Taoyuan bought flowers, incense, candles, and paper money to visit the graves of her grandparents, father, and mother.

Her parents died in a car accident when she was 8 years old. She was raised by her grandparents, but they left her two years ago. The Xia family was already small, and now she is the only one left.

After burning paper money in front of the grave, she talked about her recent life. At the end, she told her parents and grandparents that she would live a good life.

She is not afraid of loneliness, but now she has no relatives, which makes her feel that there is no hope in life. There is no one to share with, and no one to talk to.

Her home is not far from the foot of Qinglong Mountain. After her grandparents passed away, she went to the county town to find a job. The company has a dormitory, and she only comes back to rest on weekends.

There is a pavilion about ten meters away from her home, called Xiyun Pavilion. When she was a child, her grandparents often brought Xia Taoyuan here to play. She has not been to Xiyun Pavilion since she went to college. At this moment, she felt a little sunburned. Although it was not far from home, she still went to sit in the pavilion.

Xia Taoyuan was sitting in the place where her grandfather liked to sit the most. When she was a child, her grandfather often brought her to play in this pavilion. Thinking about her childhood, Xia Taoyuan felt a little sleepy and couldn't open her eyes. After an unknown amount of time, she felt her head splitting, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she saw two girls about sixteen or seventeen years old wearing Hanfu looking at her in surprise.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xia Taoyuan looked around in confusion, and then she realized that she was lying on the ground. She looked left and right and found something wrong. This seemed to be a large courtyard with a wall. Wasn't she in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain?

What's going on? She looked up. Yes, this was Xiyun Pavilion. She was very familiar with the pattern on the top of the pavilion, but this pavilion was very new, unlike the old one near her home.

Could it be a TV series? A thought flashed through her mind. No, that's not right. She closed her eyes in the pavilion and didn't know anything after that. How long had she slept? How quickly did they finish setting up the exterior? Did they even lay bluestone slabs on the ground? And build a courtyard wall?

"Miss, look at her, she came to our yard and asked who we are?" one of the younger girls pouted.

"Ling'er, help her up." said the girl called Miss.

Xia Taoyuan endured the headache and got up, rubbing her temples vigorously. She looked around again and found a house that looked like an ancient building not far away. Her head buzzed. Could it be that she had traveled through time?

"Miss, look at her, she really looks like you. Was I right just now? Especially when she was sleeping just now, she looked exactly like you. But the clothes she wore were so strange!" the little maid said again.

"Where is this?" Xia Taoyuan asked again, but this time she was not as anxious as before. She had to figure out the situation, there was no point in being anxious.

"This is the prime minister's residence." replied the little maid.

"Prime Minister's Mansion? What Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xia Taoyuan asked again.

"Miss, look at this person, is she stupid? She doesn't even know about our Prime Minister's Mansion." The little maid said contemptuously: "How did you get in? Did you fall from the sky?"

Xiangfu? Prime Minister's Mansion? Xia Taoyuan ignored her and tried hard to recall the whole story. After visiting the grave, she leaned against the pillar of Xiyun Pavilion and closed her eyes to recall the scenes of her childhood with her grandparents. She fell asleep unknowingly and woke up here.

She pinched herself hard, and it hurt so much that it didn't seem like a dream! Could it be that she really traveled through time? Or was it just a dream that felt real?

She closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, and when she opened her eyes again, the two girls were still beside her. She felt incredible, so she walked out of the pavilion and took a look. It was indeed the Xiyun Pavilion, but the Xiyun Pavilion near her home was dilapidated due to years of disrepair, while the Xiyun Pavilion in front of her was brightly colored, as if it had been painted not long ago.

"What day is today?" Xia Taoyuan asked.

"Hmph! No manners at all." The little maid named Ling'er pouted.

"Today is Qingming Festival." The lady said slowly.

That’s right, she was the one who visited the grave today.

Suddenly the young lady said to the little maid, "Ling'er, go and tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes today. You wait there and bring them here when they are ready. Tell everyone not to come to this courtyard."

Ling'er then became obedient and said, "Don't worry, young lady. With your order, no one dares to come to the garden." Then she left.

After Ling'er left, the young lady pulled Xia Taoyuan up and said excitedly, "I knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva would help me."

Xia Taoyuan pulled her hand back and looked at her in confusion. She hadn't looked carefully just now, but now that she looked, she was stunned. This lady really looked like her, at least 80% similar.

The young lady stammered, "I went to a temple outside the city the day before yesterday to make a wish, asking Guanyin Bodhisattva to help me get through this."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xia Taoyuan wondered, what does it have to do with her? She looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

"I have been praying every day these past few days, hoping for God's blessing. Today, after 9:00 p.m., Ling'er and I agreed to go for a walk in the yard. I didn't expect to see you lying in the pavilion when we got there." The young lady smiled embarrassedly and said, "At first I thought it was a thief, and Ling'er was going to call for help."

Xia Taoyuan was puzzled. Since this girl was the daughter of the prime minister's family, she was not afraid and seemed very happy to see her, a stranger.

"Ling'er walked over and saw you sleeping, with no injuries on your body. She also discovered that you looked a lot like me. My heart started pounding when I heard that. I came over to take a look at you, and sure enough, you looked a lot like me."

Xia Taoyuan listened silently for a while and roughly understood.
