In a small courtyard of an official's residence outside the palace.

A graceful young lady in a boudoir wearing a green jacket and skirt embroidered with lotus patterns stood in front of the pond.

She held a lacquer tray filled with fish food in her hand, and looked down at the koi in the pond as they swarmed towards her.

"Miss, I'm back." The maid said softly.

"How is it? Did you find out? Who is the young man who saved me?"

Hearing the voice of her personal maid, she did not turn around, but continued to throw fish food into the pond.

"Miss, my father, mother, and my eldest brother have all gone out to ask around, but to no avail. They all say they have never seen that young master."

"How could such a person of extraordinary appearance and talent be lost among the crowd?" The girl in the boudoir shook her head slightly and said regretfully.

"Whose family could he be? Could he have just come to Beijing from another place?" She frowned and talked to herself.

“Miss, why don’t we stop investigating, I am really worried.

If outsiders knew that you were asking about a young master, I wonder how they would interpret it. "

"If I could marry that young master, wouldn't that be a perfect fate? I should repay him for saving my life with my body, right?"

She raised her beautiful eyelashes like butterfly wings, glanced at the maid behind her who seemed to be anxious, and joked.

"Miss, please stop joking. Didn't you tell me since you were little that you wanted to marry the current emperor? If others hear what you are saying now, it will be over."

After saying that, the maid looked around with lingering fear, and saw that there was not even a cat and only the faint sound of the wind could be heard. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I must enter this palace, and I must marry his Majesty. If I don't marry his Majesty, what will a weak woman like me do..." Her voice gradually became inaudible.

"Miss!" the maid reminded.

She smiled, poured all the fish food in the lacquer plate in her hand into the pond, and then handed the empty lacquer plate to the maid.

After taking the handkerchief from the maid, she continued, "I see that young man is not like an ordinary citizen. He has a very good temperament. He must be from a powerful family.

Let me get to know him first and express my deep gratitude. Who knows, he might be able to provide some help to me or my children someday!"

"Miss, you are thinking too far ahead. Let's be more careful."

"If you don't want to look for me, then don't look for me. Now that you've come back from the front yard, do you have anything to say about the attack we encountered on the way to Guangde Temple to burn incense that day?"

"My Lord said that this matter is a family scandal and must not be investigated in a big way to avoid misunderstanding. Now there are some clues. My Lord asked me to tell you so that you don't have to worry."

The maid said with a frown.

She sneered and said, "I hope the Lord won't use this as an excuse for an accident. I don't think this is an accident. Those criminals were clearly coming for me.

How can I, a little girl in the boudoir, have the ability to have such a deep hatred with others? Who is so cruel as to destroy me in this way? "

"Miss, our master is a fifth-rank Wannianling, and it is easiest for him to offend people in the capital. Is it possible that this disaster was caused by your master?"

"If they came for the master, why would they come to me, a cousin who is just a guest in the eyes of outsiders? The master's 'eldest daughter' is Li Xihua, Miss Li!"

The maid heard this and said indignantly: "Mingming, you are the real Miss of the Li Mansion. The eldest Miss, this Li Mansion is your home, and you are not an orphan living under someone else's roof."

"Okay, don't mention this matter anymore, my cousin has already entered the palace and become a concubine.

If it were revealed at this time that her identity was different, the crime of deceiving the emperor would be no joke.

If something goes wrong, the whole family, including me, the fake cousin and the real cousin, will be in trouble."

"What's more, mother, no, it was my aunt who found me a lady of high status. The Bai family is a noble family, and outsiders think I am the legitimate daughter of the Bai family."

Bai Liangyu's eyes were cold, without a trace of fluctuation, but his tone was very gentle.

"Got it, miss!"

"I don't know what's wrong with the young lady. Didn't she love stories about talented men and beautiful women the most? When she was little, she even said she wanted to marry an elegant scholar. But when it comes to the talent show, she has to beg the adults to send her to participate!"

The maid pouted and stomped her feet in grievance, her eyes full of resentment.
