If there was one thing you hated the most, it was getting attention. Because in that day and age, if a girl gets noticed too much, they'd get taken advantage of by the people around them. So why on earth were you kidnapped and sold to the imperial palace?
So just like before, you chose to be discreet. Barely interacting with the other servants and going through the motions until your contract ended.
Back then, you made it a habit to learn skills like reading and writing, especially since women weren't given proper education. You chose to hide those skills as it may seem absurd for some for a young girl like you to be knowing these things.
It shouldn't have happened, but you ended up accidentally helping two concubines who were arguing. This news immediately reached the head eunuch—Wang Junhao.
He was the "head eunuch", known for being intelligent, kind, talented, and extremely handsome. But the truth was, he was secretly the crowned prince, living as an eunuch.
He would always rome the imperial palace to ensure everything was in order. So when news of a normal servant girl solving a problem before him, he was immediately intrigued. He gathered all the new young servants, including you.
While all the other servants fussed over the handsome eunuch, he quietly held up a peace of paper with the words; 'Raise your left hand. ' You instinctively did as the paper said before realizing it was a trap.
The other girls were escorted out until you were left behind. "So... You must be the intelligent servant I heard so much about"
