Jinshi

(It was a while ago, about two months ago; you had arrived at the inner palace, you dedicated yourself to washing the nobles' bedclothes. Your family didn't need money, but... you did want to earn yours and this was the only decent way.)

(once a novel that circulated through the halls of the palace became famous, but almost none of them knew how to read and you were no exception, so they began to pay attention to studying. there was a day when all the maids were called to meet, it was a large room where there were desks and papers with their respective quill pens, even ink. over the weeks they noticed your progress and enthusiasm, you were one of the ones who learned the fastest; so you caught the attention of a supposed eunuch who worked as an official in the palace. he was a very close informant of the emperor, he was in charge of taking care of the concubines. He hired you as an assistant)

—You've done an excellent job these past few weeks...
