Happy Reading's.

Jia Pov's.

After Cleaning up, Mei helped me wear light purple Hanfu.

"Today's lady will wear what accessories?" Ask Mei.

Mei always asked me what I was going to wear today, she was my servant since my father was alive.

When my hand opened the jewelry box, I was glued to stare at the peacock-shaped golden-colored iron conde skewer. This is the konde stitch I used against the Emperor. My hand took the konde skewer and gave it to Mei to pair.

"Miss doesn't Miss want to buy gold jewelry?" Mei asked while styling my hair.

"May you know gold is fragile, I can't make it a weapon" I replied.

"Miss who will she fight until she needs a gun?" Mei asked looking at me confused. I smiled at him through the reflection of the glass.

"We don't know what May is going to do" I replied standing up, now I'm ready to go.

I stepped out of my room towards the main courtyard, Ni'ang My male servant has already prepared my horse, I am not a spoiled Miss who needs a stretcher.

"Miss this is your robe" Aunt Fei gave me my black robe.

"Ah, thanks Bi. You guys take care of the house!" I said while riding a horse assisted by Ni'ang.

"Well Miss" replied them. Three of my servants lowered their heads, Only those I can employ.

I immediately drove my horse at a speed towards the city, because my house was in the middle of the capital.

Along the way I breathed fresh air enjoying my life again. If I manage to change the course of the next three years, then the massacre will not happen.

***

"Miss welcome" My staff welcomed me by helping me get off the horse.

I took off my robe and went into my shop. Indeed my shop is a place that is not too luxurious but the service here deserves appreciation so my shop is always crowded.

"Miss how's the financial book I gave you?" Uncle Bai came straight for me. Uncle Bai is the one who manages the finances here.

"I think we're having a decline in visitors" I said.

"Right Miss, it seems like people are a bit bored with the menu here" Uncle Bai explained.

I sat in Uncle Bai's chair.

"Hmm, ah uncle have you ever heard of food from sebrang?" My toot.

"Isn't that right?"

"Yes uncle I remember eating this while visiting there. I think this could be our new menu" I explained.

"What food is that?" Ask uncle Bai curiously.

"Either uncle, the material is from the Lotus Flower Seed" I said.

"Then what if we make it by making a distinctive taste here" Uncle Bai said.

"Then I will meet the chef, coincidentally here and my home area a lot of lotus flowers" I replied directly to the kitchen.

"Miss this is a good idea" said the head chef as I expressed my idea.

"We can make him soup" he continued.

The head chef immediately told someone to bring the lotus flower seeds. He cooked it seriously.

"Well please" said the head chef serving the soup in front of me and Uncle Bai.

I immediately scooped up and put the soup in my mouth. I was instantly dumbfounded.

"It feels incredible like I'm in a lotus bed" said Uncle Bai enthusiastically, he immediately finished the soup.

"True, you're amazing head chef" I said as I pointed two thumbs at him.

Instantly he was moved and thanked.

"Well I'll be visiting my brother soon, Chief chef please pack this soup for my brother" I said to the coconut chef.

"Miss is going to the palace?" Ask uncle Bai.

"That's why my uncle has something to talk to my brother about" I replied.

"Life in the Harem is indeed very difficult, we must be vigilant especially other concubines from strong families" Uncle Bai said with a laugh.

"Right uncle, I will try to protect my family" I said.

"Uncle still remember Xang'er used to want to be a concubine, but ever since he knew how life there he preferred to be a Hanfu seller" I chuckled as I remembered Xang'er who used to be desperate to be a concubine.

"Miss this is your order" the head chef approached me with my order.

"Thank you, then I'll leave first" I said.

***

"Miss please show your identification" said the bodyguard guard at the south gate of the palace.

I'm issuing my identification. Upon seeing my identification they opened the gate and took my horse for safekeeping.

I immediately headed for Harem, precisely the Lili palace where my brother was.

"You're Li's second daughter?" Asked a woman was none other than Meng's concubine. To his left stood concubine Hua and to his right was concubine Feng.

"Greetings to all concubines" My greeting was friendly, whereas in my heart held a grudge so blazing, wanting me to instantly kill the three women in front of me.

"You must want to see your brother Consort Li? Ah, lucky concubine Li the day after the appointment she immediately visited her sister" Ejek concubine Hua.

"I'm also very envious, lucky after the fall of the Li family they can still survive" Now it was Slir Feng's turn to mock me

"You true servants and slave families are very lucky" My reply humbled.

"Well little brothers, let's go to the park, he said, your majesty will pass by" Invite Consort Meng.

The bunch of crazy women finally left me, rushing me towards Liu's residence.

Up there I was greeted with the happy laughter of two women, one my sister and the other...

Ah the snake woman turned out.

"Jia baby you want to meet your sister huh?" Greet me the Snake. They were sitting in the gazebo of Lili's courtyard.

I remember what the two did to my brother, He who asked His Majesty to make my brother a concubine so that he had friends but His Majesty was even more considerate with my brother, his jealousy will kill my family in the future.

"J-jia what's wrong?" Tanya nervously, I immediately changed my killing expression to be friendly.

"Ah, I just remembered something that sucks. Sorry for scaring you" I replied with a smile.

The first step I had to try to keep my brother away with this snake.

"Sir, I have something to talk about" I said, intending to get the snake out.

"Then my sister should go back to my room first huh" Pamit the Snake.

"Be careful on the road brother" replied my brother innocently, sometimes I regret myself having an older brother who was too innocent.

I sat down where the snake was sitting.

"This is the latest menu of my evening flower shop" I said enthusiastically as I opened the food box I brought.

"Well, you have a new menu, you can't wait to try it" replied my brother as he put in the lotus seed soup.

"Enak" he said again.

I smiled and prepared myself to say something.

"Sister seems like big brother should be slightly away with Concubine Ying" I said,

"Indeed why is it that brother and he have been friends for so long" my brother replied stopping his chewing.

"Hmm I have a bad feeling brother, as long as brother knows with brother being a concubine has made me worry" explained me while looking at his hand.

"I don't know if life in the palace harem is not like in our house" I continued.

"Your sister is calm your brother is going to take care of himself and the matter of judging consort Ying brother cannot guarantee that brother can" Now my brother is stroking my hand gently.

"But I beg big brother, try to stay away from concubine Ying. Please believe me" Please beg me with a sigh.

"Well brother will try"

I breathed a sigh of relief at least my brother had tried. I remember my brother's meeting with the Snake, they met at my shop.

Huft, I don't think jealousy can make friendship difficult. And I remember my brother who defended the snake so as not to be exiled in the cold palace for deliberately pushing the empress into the lake so that the snake could escape.

I stepped towards the south gate, after saying goodbye to my brother.

But as my eyes focused on the flowers growing along the way I accidentally bumped into something hard.

"Aduhhh" I complained while holding my jidat.

When I saw what I hit, my knee went limp.
