Chapter one

Tea looked down at her calloused hands and sighed. She was their only child. And a young one at that. Yet, her family did not spare her from any of the manual labour that they all had to do. Even as a 6-year-old girl who just started growing, she had to take part in digging and watering plants, carrying smaller basins of water for her cousins and sweeping their dilapidated house.Every swish of her broom was done in urgency for fear of not finishing in time for dinner. While sweeping about the floor, old memories of her easy childhood rushed back to her mind. Reminding her of her youth. With every speck of dust moving, her body aged and deteriorated. And she was scared. She was so young and yet felt so old. Too many responsibilities. Tea looked up at the scorching sun, squinting to look at the clouds. She listened to the birdsong that charmingly danced against her eardru

Chapter two

She sat on the bed for what seemed like forever before the lady shook her thinking she was asleep. “Young lady, wake up! The sedan is here.” Tea stood up and then clutched on to the lady's hand to guide her because she could not see where she was going. They walked, made a few twists and turns before getting to the front of the gate. There were other people here she could tell but none of them spared her a glance as they were rushing to fix things around the area she was staying in. She could tell that the house was very big but she lived in a small room at the back. The lady kept on guiding her and after a while she said, “Watch your step before climbing over the gate.” The lady then let go of her hand and another smoother one took a hold of hers. “Don’t worry servant lady. We shall take good care of your lady in the palace.” The new hand then rushed her Into the sedan and then sat her down gently before telling the driver to whip the horse and leave. “Hello Miss Qian. My name is M

Chapter three

Tea walked as carefully as she could while trying to maintain her balance. Honestly, she was relieved that the test was nothing too excessive here because she honestly did not want to go back to wherever she just came from. She walked against the line while being so deep in thought without noticing the people that were falling around her. The palace maids and eunuchs were extremely ruthless. Anyone who stumbled more than once was eliminated so before long there were only five people out of the original twenty that passed this test. Tea also passed miraculously. She sighed in relief and was directed to a courtyard for lunch while waiting for the other girls to come back. At lunchtime, she noticed that everyone was eating slowly and unhurriedly so she also copied them. Looking at the appetising, succulent food on her table, she wanted to eat ravenously. However, she did not forget where she was at all.There were only ten girls that survived the four arts test and when they cam

Chapter four

In the room, Du Xiang stood on her left and Er Lin on her right. Both of them wore such beautiful clothes that eclipsed Tea's own making Tea look less rich but more refined - like a fine tea. The eunuch then announced that the princes had come and all three of the women had to curtsey and salute the princes. As they came in, there were sounds of laughter and it seemed as though these men were really having the time of their lives. This ignored the tension within the room. All three women knew they were competing and no one wanted to fail. Du Xiang thought that it would be best for her to hitch up with the sixth prince - although he was not favoured, he didn't have a main wife and that position would be good for her. Because of her enchanting looks, many main wives would definitely not tolerate her at all because they think that she would easily steal their husbands. In fact, this inability to get married to a man with a main wife was the reason why she was

Chapter five

When Tea was asleep, she dreamt of herself. She saw various scenes of growing up, being bullied by her family and being made to sleep in a dilapidated courtyard. She saw her sisters and brothers having fun, playing and studying while she remained in the same place day in and day out. Then the time came for her to go to the palace and everything happened differently. Instead of singing, she showed calligraphy and the sixth prince picked her in the end. Once the sixth prince picked her, she married him beautifully and became the sixth princess but she wasn't even treated like a princess. Of course, she lived her life in luxury but she was always mocked by the servants because she never retained the favour of her husband. In fact, the prince seemed to be very infatuated with a palace maid and ignored her the entire time. The worst thing was that this palace maid was extremely beautiful - even more beautiful than her and she liked crying the most. She would do bad things an
