Once Mei-ling was out of the prince's bedroom she began to grumble and kick and stamp her feet to the ground.
She had just managed to cunningly escape and yet the wicked prince had still found a way for her?
In the book he hadn't cared for her or even taken notice for her but now he was calling her to his chamber in the middle of the night?
How was she going to avoid that now?
He hadn't even given room for her to argue with him.
Then she remembered that she had sent Li-na to the market.
She hurried to her own quarters.
As she passed by, she saw some other concubines.
They were dressed in beautiful dresses and heavy make up.
They were beautiful but not as beautiful as her.
"Look at her." One concubine said. "She just came and now she is going to Prince Tai-hua's room."
"And she is a commoner." The other said sneeringly. "Look at the ugly clothes she is wearing. Rags."
Mei-ling was angry and embarrassed.
These women were making fun of her because she was not from a high ranking family and even direct comments at her.
She wanted to face them but no, she decided against it and ignored them.
They laughed at her and even their servants joined them.
Mei-ling with her head held up high went to her quarters.
Once she got into the room, she felt overwhelmed with shame and humiliation and she burst out in tears.
Why was she crying?
She was not usually emotional?
It must be this body. So she had been a wicked girl but she was still emotional and often cried.
She wiped the tears.
Was it so bad that they were all dressed in fine clothes and she had none of that?
She looked at the mark on her arm and remembered how she had been bitten and been transmigrated here.
How she wished she had the money she had back home in her real world.
She gently touched the mark and then she waked to the closest and opened it to see some clothes that she could manage to wear and present herself.
Li-na still hasn't come.
As soon she opened the closet she was shocked at what she saw.
It was a whole different place.
It was a like large vast land and then a house in it.
She gasped.
What was this?
She put her feet gently and stepped in.
The air was different and there were trees and a beautiful lake.
She took a stroll and surveyed the entire place.
Had this closet always appeared like this?
She looked around and walked to the house.
She knew this house!
It was like her childhood home.
She stepped inside and saw that it was exactly like her home and then there was kitchen stocked with different food.
In a room there were plenty and beautiful dresses of ancient China!
Was this the space she had heard of before?
