Peaches are in bloom. The light scent travels with the walls and green leaves.
Towers and pavilions at every corner, wrapped in countless corridors and decorated roofs, every factions fights for itself. Eyes cannot move from such extravagance. The most majestic place in the world, the forbidden city.
I extend my hand and feel the petal fall into my hand. Memories come back to me like veil, unwrapping layer by layer.
This most majestic place has my most cherished moments and ny most nightmares.
Yī nuò
(So what if Revenge is dangerous. I'll stomp every obstacle that comes my way!)
Shi lian
*Quitely* Miss, the matron is here!
Shi lian's voice brings me back. I let go of the petal ans watch it fly with the wind as the stern matron approaches.
Old matron
*Sternly* Listen up. Palace duties shoul be taken seriously as it is your duty to serve your master.
Old matron
Any mistakes can cost you your job, but it might cost your life!
The young girls stand nervously in the big yard. They get even tenser after hearing the old matron.
Old matron
Caste is the most important part of the palace. Your level determines the type of palace duties you can do.
Shi lian
*Quitely* Miss, we really have to work hard then so we can avoid tough jobs like laundry and sewing .
The old matron is still talking. I remember not to break rules, so i nod.
Shi lian
It's just the old matron is so mean...
Old matron
*stares angrily* were you allowed to speak? Where do you put the rules?
