I forgot to mention that I live in the harem now. Since there are no concubines living here, the Queen ordered that the female officials around me live here according to their rank.

Only top female officials have their own residences outside the palace.

Lu Ningxuan is the residence of the late Emperor Ni Guiren, and I am almost at the same level as Guiren.

Ni Guiren was not very favored, his family background was average, he had no heirs, and he died early.

Although Lu Ningxuan is a bit remote, it is not too shabby. There are also flowers, plants and trees, which are elegant and beautiful.

Besides, living in a gorgeous palace is not necessarily a good thing. Two years ago, a female official sent by the minister was sealed in the Liquag Palace where the late emperor's favorite concubine Nan Guifei lived. Within two months, she was assassinated.

If she died, I guess it was because the Queen couldn't tolerate her, so she let her live in the palace of the late Emperor's favorite concubine that she didn't like.

Zhuqing heard the news of my return and went out to greet me.

"Sir, you are back."

Zhu Qing is the maid who serves me in the palace. There are only two maids in Lu Ningxuan. Zhu Qing takes care of my daily life, and Ling Bai does the chores.

All meals for female officers are provided uniformly, and the food standards vary depending on the position. No one is allowed to use the small kitchen.

Everything in the palace has strict boundaries. When I was a maid, I was never allowed to come to the harem, and I didn't even know that there were female officials living here.

After understanding the strict boundaries here, I realized how important Xia Liang's position is.

Zhuqing and Lingbai were allotted to me by her herself.

Zhuqing was meticulous, respectful and careful, which made me experience the feeling of being taken care of for the first time.

In my previous life, I was sent to a boarding school since I was a child. I gradually got used to my own life and was not very close to my parents.

They may want to train me as an elite, so that I can develop my independence from an early age and keep myself busy with work.

But I did not follow the route they designed. Maybe I am really not suitable to be an elite, because my life dream is very simple, to be a simple and happy person who can live with the closest people.

So in my last life, if I had not died unexpectedly, I might have really accepted the blind date arranged by my family, had a family of my own, and most importantly, had a child I loved the most.

But this life is different. From my original cowardice, I have become stronger after being tempered in a cold and hard palace where no one knows me. I want to pursue something that I didn’t have before. From another perspective

, and only by pursuing these can I live a good life.

Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, I don't know why, but I think of the man from Meng Lian Hall. I don't know his name yet. Can I meet him again in the future?

I should go to Meng Lian Hall a few more times in the future and I should be able to meet him. I smiled softly and said, Ye Wenyun, in this life, you have to be a different person.

Ge Xiangming paid all his money for using the inn's horse.

When he returned to Meng Lian Hall, he found that only the waiter from before was looking for him.

"Ge Xiangming, where have you been? I plan to give you some of the money that person gave me. I won't let you suffer. But you went out just now, so you should have been rewarded a lot of money.

?You must also look down on me here."

"Favourable." Ge Xiangming grabbed the hand he wanted to take back, "I probably didn't get much from this trip, and I even lost all my money."

"What? It shouldn't be. I see that the girl is a generous person! Oh, why are you going?"

"I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a rest."

"You're not working anymore? What will you do if someone comes to find you later?"
