"Lan'er, what are you doing?" Mei'er's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
She looked at herself with worry.
"Ah, nothing, I was just thinking about what Madam just said." She said casually.
"Have you thought about it?" Mei'er nodded and asked again.
"Not yet. I need to think about this carefully." She shook her head.
"I should think about it carefully," Mei'er said thoughtfully. She smiled at her and walked away in another direction. "I still have work to do. You should go back first."
Lu Yunxi nodded and walked silently towards the room where she lived.
When she left, she suddenly felt a little strange.
What was she thinking about just now? She had a vague feeling that she was thinking about something very important just now... It seemed like some kind of test, or some kind of temptation...
She remembered that her name seemed to be Lu... Strange! Her surname wasn't Lu! She was clearly Lan'er, the maid of the eldest daughter of the Wenyi Marquis's mansion!
She frowned, looking puzzled.
"Lan'er, the girl left some rouge goose breast for us today, come and have some!"
"Hey! Here I come!" She shook her head and quickened her pace back to the room.

Three days later.
Mrs. Bo once again called the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, who were by the eldest girl's side, and asked them if they wanted to follow her into the palace.
Among them, only Zhu'er and Ju'er wanted to go, while Mei'er and Lan'er both refused.
The emperor of this dynasty was very tolerant towards concubines. In the past, girls entering the palace could only bring one maid with them if they were of the rank of Noble Concubine or above. But now, even the lowest-ranking concubines could bring one maid with them. If they were assigned the rank of Noble Concubine, they could bring four maids with them.
The emperor of this dynasty had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the harem was empty. Apart from the queen and three low-ranking concubines, there was no one else.
The emperor was young and promising, and there were many vacancies in the harem, so naturally many people wanted to enter the palace. In fact, if the Bo family hadn't secretly spent a lot of money to pave the way, the eldest girl might not have been able to enter the palace.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money she spent, the eldest lady's status was only that of a noble lady, and she could only bring two maids with her.
After listening to the thoughts of the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, Mrs. Bo seemed to be lost in thought.
"You guys go down first."
Lan Er left very calmly. In fact, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were all good-looking. Although they were maids, as maids of legitimate daughters, they had a very good life and naturally had a pair of delicate and fair skin.
Among the four, Lan'er is the prettiest.
Ju'er's eyes flashed, and she walked to her side: "Lan'er, you are so beautiful, do you really not want to enter the palace?"
"I don't want to," Lan'er said firmly, and then she was puzzled. "What does my appearance have to do with whether I want to enter the palace?"
Although she didn't know why, her intuition told her that life in the palace would not be easy. The rules there would be even stricter than those in the Earl's Mansion. Then...?
