1 Feng Xiaowei.

Long Empire, Yun province, second feng mansion. Inside a well lit but rundown room on a small bed lied a dainty beauty. The girl had any feature that could be considered cute and beautiful . In the middle of her forehead lied a beauty spot. This beauty was dressed in a white light sleeping wear. The moonlight spilled through the window falling softly on her face creating a harmonious scene.

*bam* the rundown door broke down welcoming a tall beauty. This beauty was meng er Feng xiaowei's maid. Meng er burst in panicking leaving the poor door on the ground.

"Miss miss not good!" Meng er walked to the bed and started shaking xiaowei. The seemingly sleeping xiaowei sat up calmly with a smile on her beautiful face, she was used to Meng er panicking almost everyday. [What might it be today, Uncle Wang from next-door lost his chicken or the maids are seducing his butler.] she thought to her self.

"it's bad news miss" Meng er continued. "Oh what is it, is the sky falling down" Xiaowei teased but who would have thought Meng er would actually go outside to look at the sky before coming back.

"No young miss why would the sky fall down its quite fine" Meng er looked at Xiaowei like she was an idiot. Xiao wei was baffled. Her lips twitched as she struggled to hide her smile. Sometimes, she wondered how where her mother found this "unique" maid from. Meng er had been with her for all fourteen years of her life so she knew her well. The little maid was smart and quick witted but she lacked common sense. "Ermm.... where was I" Meng er forgot what she was about to say. Xiaowei reminded her camly. She was used to this. "There was bad news."

"Oh yes" Meng er remembered. "Oh yes miss there's news from the capital"

Xiaowei raised her eyebrow [what has it gotta do with me] . She somewhat got a bad feeling. "After the Crown Prince now Emperor ascended the throne 4 years ago, he did not add any other concubines to his harem except for the seven beauties and he has just daughters soo the Empress Dowager was worried" Feng xiaowei started drinking tea that appeared out god knows where. "So she issued a degree for a concubine selection that goes for all the noble house to present maidens from 14-18 years, the imperial harem already has first young miss and second young miss. The others are already engaged and married soo the old madam decided to send the seventh young miss and you the thirteenth young miss." Feng xiaowei spat out her tea in shock. "oh no young miss are you alright" meng er started shaking feng xiaowei back and forth after confirming that she was fine, she sighed and left her alone. "young miss please be careful not to choke on your tea" Meng er knew that her young miss wanted a peaceful life but it seems like her wish wasn't going to happen. The harem was not a peaceful place at all. Feng xiaowei fell limply on the rundown bed.

"it seems like I'm not going to have a peaceful life" feng xiaowei mumbled to herself.
