Chapter 3: The Plan

I thought back to what the old man said, and I think it might be true. What is impossible now is finding a way to kiss the emperor. Thinking about this made me tired and I decided to sleep. Waking up in the middle of the night I heard noises by a bush and I got really scared, deciding to go and check what was behind the bush, I saw an animal run, I couldn't do any thing but to run. When getting towards the palace I thought about what I was going to be and I decided that being a maid would be helpful, that way I could find a way to get into the emperor's room. With a plan now I thought I was ready. All I need now is to get to the palace and hope they can take me as a maid. Being in front of the palace was no place to joke. Thankfully I wasn't the beautiful girl I used to be. Now that I am ugly it made it easier for them to accept me as a maid. Now that one part of the plan was successful, I knew that I had a chance to save my self. Giving to me was a room with a very kind roommate who's name was Fen Fang. She asked me what my name was and I told her "My name is Xia Lin". That is how we became good friends on the first day.
