The Unknown Individual Raised Deep in the Palace

　　The girl in white rushed towards the deep inner parts of the palace.

　　The harem is where the emperor and his concubines reside. It's heavily guarded, however, the girl in white was able to enter and leave at her own leisure.

　　She went to a particularly extravagant residence called, the Brilliant Night Palace. This place was different to the residence of the other concubines. This palace was resplendent. It was as though the owner was worried about not having a way to spend all their money.

　　A potted plant that was placed casually was an eye-opener compared to the plants, flowers or pine bamboos found in the palaces of the other concubines. It was elegant.

　　The leaves were made from gold, the pears were made from pearls; it had inlaid fruits from agate, emerald chiselled cuc.u.mbers; coral hole tree branches, an ivory fence, and even the azure porcelain in full bloom was from the former dynasty. It was ruyao and blue flowers created from kilin of the previous dynasty. The place was overflowing with wealth.

　　If a beggar were to get his hands on one of the bowls from this palace, he would become filthy rich.

　　Such, was the special Brilliant Night Palace.

　　Inside the special place was a special person. That was the emperor's youngest consort, the Brilliant Consort.

　　The emperor's other concubines all had incredible backgrounds too, but the Brilliant Consort was different. Her family members weren't officials or territorial owners, but merchants.

　　Martial arts flourished during this dynasty so many concepts and ideals of scholars were useless. Consequently, merchants weren't exactly discriminated against, but merchants who could enter the palace were no ordinary merchants. The Brilliant Consort wasn't from an ordinary merchant family.

　　Her family is the richest family in the entire nation with thousands of stores, more than ten thousand boats and so many people working for them there was no way of knowing their numbers. You could say that her family brought in half of the nation's income.

　　If it weren't for her family background, the emperor wouldn't have put up with all the disdainful looks of his concubines for marrying a girl younger than him by seventeen years, especially when she was only thirteen at the time when he married her.

　　When the emperor married her, he was bestowed with the t.i.tle, the number one lolicon in the world, which led to a trend of men marrying young wives. It was considered all the rage. The males of the nation couldn't help but sigh, "The emperor has great tastes." His decision left a huge impact. Ten years later, major ministers in the imperial court whether deliberate or not speak about themselves having a daughter not yet thirteen, and wondering if his majesty would be interested…… Or they'd wonder if his majesty would consider their granddaughter that's yet to turn ten…….

　　The incident troubled the emperor greatly and so he did not accept any more concubines for fifteen years after the Brilliant Consort. He dotes on the Brilliant Consort most which is why he hasn't had any other concubines after her. This guess is in fact very close to the truth.

　　Fifteen years had pa.s.sed and the young thirteen year old loli wife was now nearly thirty. She was no longer the silly wife who only knew how to flirt and act spoilt before her husband. The young naive and pure girl had reached the point in her life where she needed to make preparations for herself.

　　Although the Brilliant Consort was known to those in the palace as a kind, silly and wealthy person, silly daughter of a landlord, she too had plans for herself.

　　The girl in white with the peculiar ident.i.ty was her plan.

　　The girl in white stepped into the Brilliant Night Palace. In front of the palace stood a row of maids, who couldn't help but fight a cold war and stutter as they greeted her: "G-Greetings, General Manager"

　　The girl in white ignored their greeting and just coldly asked: "Is her highness inside?"

　　"Yes."

　　"All of you, leave. No one is to approach without my orders."

　　"The girl in white" had a dangerous look in her eyes. In a cold tone, she said: "I will break the legs on any who dare to come in without my permission."
