It had been three months since I had taken up the position as Zheng's Crown Princess.
Though reluctant, the Empress had given me power over the smaller departments in the Inner Court - the Bureau of Clothes and Bureau of Decorations were under my command.
The five matrons could not find much fault with my decorum, so they gave up trying to test me.
Instead, they had handed me the thick books I was expected to familiarise myself with.
History books, books of records on the royal family and their relations, cultural books on ceremonies that I may be expected to carry out when I became Empress...
The list was endless. Nonetheless, I made sure to read everything that was sent to my desk.
Though Zheng came over or called me over to Dong Gong almost every night, we barely had time to speak to each other or see each other in the day.
Most of the daylight was used to read in Qi Feng Gong, though I preferred to enter Dong Gong's study to read even if Zheng wasn't in.
