Yongjia year 2, fourth month, early summer.

Inside Cien Palace where Empress Shen resided, the cicadas softly cried, the flower petals sparsely scattering. A few palace maids sat upon the steps, the light color palace muslin windingly extending to another step. Placed on their knees was decorated paper that has been folded halfway. Gazing out the window was the picturesque scenery of clustered buildings and willows covering the pavilion.

On the couch behind the curtains was a half asleep girl.

Unknown as to what she dreamed of, her pretty brows slightly knitted, and then, she slowly opened her eyes.

Hearing the movement sounds of the girl getting up, the palace maids placed down the decorated paper in hand, getting up to stand by in attendance.

“Does Miss Shen want to get up?”

“The time is still early. Napping a little longer is also fine.”

The girl leaning upon the couch was precisely An Duke family’s eldest miss, Shen Lan Chi, currently sixteen years of age this year, in the prime of her youth.

The palace maids gazed towards her, all somewhat reserved.

This Shen family eldest miss’s father, second uncle, and older brother are all important ministers of the court. Her grandfather is the An Duke, while her paternal aunt is the empress that oversaw the six palaces. Never mind to having such an illustrious background, her beauty was further crowned throughout the capital, more than enough to make all the girls feel ashamed to compare. This Shen eldest miss, whose name is quite well-known outside, was a genuine noble young lady of a prestigious household in the capital.
