The carriage clattered, and when the first ray of sunlight crossed the gate of Yujing, Yun Sheng had already entered the Imperial Palace.
She had changed out of her morning gown, and for three years she concealed herself carefully, with no one ever suspecting her gender.
Yun Sheng's stature was naturally taller than the average woman, her figure neither too fat nor too thin; she used a specially designed corset to conceal the fullness of her chest. Her flowing long hair was secured with a black jade hairpin, and dressed in a dark green gold cloud patterned court robe, with deep, dark eyes, she exuded an elegant demeanor.
Early spring, the corridors of the Imperial Palace still retained a trace of the night's chill.
There was still half an hour until the morning court, yet the Imperial Palace was already bustling.
