"I went to Leng Palace to see Ning Yan."

Liu Ningyan was the maid who entered the palace with me and Yu'er. Because we were similar in age and lived close to each other, we became good friends. Ningyan was the most beautiful of the maids who were sent to the palace that year.

Just like her name, that kind of beauty is like the smoke condensed among the weeping willows in spring. I don’t know when it will dissipate, making people want to touch it and care for it.

Because of her beauty, Ning Yan was unwilling to be a palace maid all her life. In the second year after entering the palace, she tried every means to win the favor of the third prince Pei Yuanhao and became his wife.
