In the inner courtyard of the Weave Cloud Dynasty, Hua Xiu, a former ordinary civilian woman, has now become the center of attention as the Embroidered Clouds Consort. Life in the palace is both fascinating and complex for her, as she learns each day how to adapt to the dazzling yet intricate harem.
The morning sunlight streams through the windows of the Embroidered Cloud Pavilion, casting a golden glow over the entire room. The palace maids approach Hua Xiu with gentle steps, preparing to begin her grooming and dressing.
Hua Xiu sat in front of the mirror, her face looking particularly fresh in the morning light, with a hint of sleepiness in her eyes but also a sense of morning freshness. A palace maid gently combed her hair, with delicate and careful movements, as if weaving a fine piece of art.
"Your Majesty, what kind of hairstyle would you like today?" the palace maid asked gently.
Hua Xiu thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "Let's go with a simple updo, nothing too complicated. I prefer something refreshing."
The palace maids gently gathered Hua Xiu's beautiful hair as she requested, carefully handling each strand to showcase her freshness and elegance. Then, another maid brought out an exquisite white and blue Consort attire and slowly dressed Hua Xiu in it. The outfit was simple yet noble, making Hua Xiu look like a blooming lotus flower, clear and beautiful.
"Your Majesty, this outfit suits you so well, simple yet elegant," praised a palace maid.
Hua Xiu stood up, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you all, I also really like this outfit. Today's styling is exactly to my liking."
With the help of the palace maids, Hua Xiu's makeup was carefully crafted to highlight her natural beauty while maintaining her innocence and loveliness.
The palace maids were very satisfied with Hua Xiu's appearance, and Hua Xiu herself felt very comfortable and content. Standing in front of the mirror, with a simple and lovely hairstyle, blue and white attire, and a fresh and elegant temperament, she displayed all her charm and unique personality.
Hua Xiu continued to learn the etiquette and rules of the palace under the guidance of Consort Liu. Consort Liu was not only her good friend but also became her mentor in the palace. Under Consort Liu's gentle guidance, Hua Xiu gradually mastered the various rules of the court, adapting to the palace environment in her speech, behavior, and daily life.
During this time, Hua Xiu's lovable nature and straightforward personality gradually became known in the harem, winning the affection of many palace maids and even causing some Consorts to develop a fondness for her. She always managed to bring different kinds of joy to the palace life in her unique way.
One afternoon, Hua Xiu and Consort Liu went for a walk in the imperial garden. The spring breeze was gentle, and the garden was filled with blooming flowers. As they strolled through the flowers, they chatted about their thoughts and concerns. Consort Liu spoke with wisdom and delicacy, while Hua Xiu had a bright smile on her face, occasionally letting out a clear laugh.
"Sister Liu, look at these beautiful flowers, each one has its own charm," Hua Xiu pointed to a cluster of blooming peonies, her eyes shining with innocence.
Consort Liu nodded gently, her eyes showing admiration: "Sister Xiu is right. Every plant and tree in the palace has its own unique characteristics. Just like us, each person has their own way of life and pursuits."
The two of them strolled in the garden, chatting and laughing.
The lingering sunset glow sprinkled on the window of the Embroidered Cloud Pavilion, reflecting Hua Xiu's contemplative posture. She held a manual of the embroidered floral fan, each page recording exquisite embroidery art and unique techniques. Hua Xiu's eyes revealed a deep love and admiration for the art of embroidery, as she gently flipped through the pages, occasionally showing a pensive expression.
At that moment, a graceful palace maid hurried to the Embroidered Cloud Pavilion and softly said, "Embroidered Clouds Consort, several Consorts invite you to join them in the Imperial Garden to appreciate the moon."
Upon hearing the news, Hua Xiu immediately lit up with excitement in her eyes. She set down the book in her hand and gracefully rose to her feet, her movements filled with anticipation. She quickly changed into a light blue long dress, a simple yet elegant outfit that accentuated her graceful figure.
After tidying her dress, Hua Xiu walked lightly towards the Royal Garden. Her mood seemed relaxed and joyful, filled with anticipation for the upcoming moon-viewing appointment. Walking along the palace's corridors, her mood was as light and carefree as drifting clouds.
When arriving at the Imperial Garden, the moonlight was like water, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Several consorts were already waiting there, and upon seeing Hua Xiu's arrival, they all showed warm smiles. Hua Xiu also greeted them with a smile and said softly, "Sisters, it's such a delightful thing to appreciate the moon together."
In the Imperial Garden, several consorts had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Hua Xiu's arrival, they all smiled and welcomed her. Hua Xiu's innocence and unique charm made her even more popular in the harem.
Consorts sat together, enjoying the moon and chatting, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Hua Xiu's smile carried her unique innocence, as she alternated between softly discussing her insights into embroidered art and openly sharing interesting stories from the palace. Every word she spoke was filled with the joy of life and a passion for beautiful things.
At that moment, Hua Xiu suddenly remembered her culinary skills and excitedly said to everyone, "Sisters, would you be interested in trying some of the snacks I've made? I guarantee they will surprise you."
Upon hearing this, the consorts expressed great interest. So Hua Xiu took them back to the Embroidered Cloud Pavilion and began preparing some snacks for them. She skillfully combined various ingredients and before long, a variety of delicious snacks were placed on the table.
After tasting them, the consorts all praised Hua Xiu's craftsmanship. Seeing this, Hua Xiu was filled with joy. She enjoyed this time, sharing her hobbies with her sisters.
It's late at night, and everyone has just left reluctantly. Hua Xiu sits alone by the window, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky.
The Embroidered Cloud Pavilion in the night, like a brilliant pearl in the deep palace, emits a faint light. Hua Xiu sits quietly, her eyes reflecting the brilliance of the moon. Her thoughts wander in this new and complex harem.
The next day, Hua Xiu participated in various activities in the palace as usual. Her innocence and straightforwardness made her increasingly popular in the harem.
In a secluded hall in the harem, Hua Xiu and Consort Liu strolled leisurely. Potted plants were placed along the corridor, with lush green leaves and colorful flowers, occasionally accompanied by the chirping of birds and insects, adding a touch of tranquility to the palace.
Suddenly, a burst of noisy voices shattered the tranquility. Hua Xiu and Consort Liu couldn't help but pause their steps as they witnessed a high-ranking Consort harshly punishing a lower-ranking Consort. The high-ranking Consort was dressed in luxurious attire, with an elegant smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a cold severity. Her words were sharp, each one as sharp as a knife, sending shivers down the spine.
"You, a lowly person, dare to act so insolently in front of this palace!" the high-ranking Consort rebuked coldly.
The lower-ranking Consort knelt on the ground, trembling, with fear in her eyes.
Seeing this, Hua Xiu felt a strong surge of anger. She was about to step forward to intervene, but her wrist was tightly grabbed by Consort Liu. There was a warning in Consort Liu's eyes: " Sister Xiu, that is the Noble Consort, the highest-ranking and most influential figure in the harem. Her words carry great weight in the harem, and we cannot easily offend her."
Hua Xiu showed a look of shock on her face as she incredulously looked at Noble Consort: "How could this be? Can a noble status really allow someone to ignore justice?"
Consort Liu softly replied, "The rules of the harem are complex, and sometimes justice is not the most important thing. Sister Xiu, you are still young, and there are some things you cannot fully understand yet. But please believe me, sometimes tolerance is for a longer-term plan."
Hua Xiu listened and struggled with her emotions. She felt a chill in her heart, but with Consort Liu's persuasion, she ultimately did not take action. She left with Consort Liu, feeling heavy-hearted.
This scene deeply engraved itself in Hua Xiu's heart, giving her a deeper understanding of the rules and cruelty of the palace. However, kindness still resided in her heart.
That night, Hua Xiu was alone in the Embroidered Cloud Pavilion lost in thought. There was a complex gleam in her eyes as her thoughts drifted far away. She began to realize that life in the palace was far from the surface tranquility and harmony, but rather a world full of conspiracy and struggle.
Hua Xiu's mood became heavy as she began to reflect on her position and role in the palace. She realized she had to be more careful and cautious, no longer as naive and ignorant as she had been in the past.
