    Imperial palace maids c3996f0ecc are supposed to 5477fdb7b9 serve all the 92ba1bfbae concubines as a da3fb60a73 principle. However, unlike the other ba047d9d33 concubines who lavishly gift 61fea02c3d the maids to look fc29d551c1 good in front of fb5818353e the emperor, I, living 604e507d5b quietly in a corner 70765ee7d2 of the imperial palace, 401528fd5c was treated as an 4ad59c3981 afterthought.bb554a7161169523

    With a 7dc776dfa5 flamboyant purple 8c4a478ea9 dress that a901e97993 matched the 8b1b56053f color of 84bcd4c423 my eyes, 09c60d9256 I gently 16ad2d8aac gathered my a83b443f66 golden hair e5e7f43e99 and tucked 9115755302 it behind b76871409b my left cd76ecb3b7 ear, then f831169ce7 decorated it a4871862c5 with a b86f510d4d red rose.5816f3ebccab2e03
