Zhe Junwu was born too beautiful. To hide it, she used a pair of scissors to give herself a set of thick, blunt bangs that covered half her face, focusing solely on doing her duties well.
The Crown Prince felt that this girl was honest, loyal, and knew a few characters, so he sent her to serve in his study.
Though she was a servant, she was personally taught to read and write by the Crown Prince and enjoyed delicacies from land and sea alongside him.
Later, her family found her and brought her back, making her the Seventh Young Lady of the Marquis of Shuling’s household. No one knew anything about her time in the Eastern Palace.
During a night banquet in the palace, as she sat at the feast enduring the difficulties made by noble young ladies, a plate of jujube cakes suddenly appeared on her table.
It was her favorite treat from the Eastern Palace.
Junwu looked up to see the Crown Prince, who was usually stern and unsmiling, looking at her with a light smile. In a low, intimate voice, he called out the pet name he had personally given her in the Eastern Palace: “Junjun, come. Come here to me.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Notes:
1.
A daily sweet story. Life in the Eastern Palace occupies the first half, while daily life after marriage occupies the latter half.
2.
Double pure (both leads are virgins). Junwu is a name similar to “mist among the bamboos,” which is also a color.
