My name is Jiang Lili.
I am a newly arrived Promised in the imperial palace.
With a low status, I hold no power or influence, only receiving occasional favor from the Emperor.
Among the many women in the harem, I am like a floating weed, rootless and drifting along with the currents.
Fortunately, I know how to be content and find joy in simple things.
Before my journey here, I was a freshly graduated infant caretaker.
After much effort, I finally found a job with decent pay.
I was planning to save money for travel when I inexplicably crossed over to this world.
Perhaps it was heaven's pity on me.
It allowed me to continue my old profession within the palace.
I have been in the palace for three years and have been granted the title of Consort Rank.
I am responsible for raising the four-year-old Princess Mu Yao.
The Emperor's eunuch, Eunuch Wang, conveyed his decree.
“ consort Jiang, the Emperor has said that you may boldly raise the Fourth Princess.”
“ Imperial Household Department will provide assistance.”
“Later, ingredients will be delivered.”
“Please take good care of the Fourth Princess, consort Jiang.”
After delivering his message, Eunuch Wang left.
My only personal maid, Qiu Yue, expressed her dissatisfaction:
"Your Highness, you are now a Consort Rank."
"Why can't I even get a Palace Kitchen Maid?"
"This is clearly bullying us for having no power or influence!"
I comforted her, "It's fine, we don't need that many people."
"As long as there's food delivered, that's enough."
Qiu Yue huffed, "Your Highness, you are just too easygoing."
"In the harem, isn't it all about competing with one another?"
"Only you, not fighting or scrambling, just wanting to live your own life."
I smiled and chose not to respond.
After my transmigration, I became a Promised in the palace.
In the palace, I had no parents, no power, and no influence.
I could only rely on the Emperor's favor to survive.
Fortunately, I knew how to be content and find joy in simplicity.
Being a salted fish is also a way of living.
A month ago, Mu Yao's mother, Consort Wan, was executed due to her family's downfall.
The four-year-old princess had no one to care for her, so this powerless Promised was granted the title of Consort Rank by the Emperor.
I was tasked with raising Mu Yao.
"Little Yao, come and taste the milk tea I made."
"It's really delicious."
I held a bowl of milk tea, attracting the attention of four-year-old Mu Yao.
She blinked her eyes, seemingly very curious.
I gently blew on it. "Be careful, it's hot."
Mu Yao stuck out her little tongue and licked it.
Her eyes lit up.
"It's really good!"
I pinched her chubby little cheek. "If you like it, drink more."
Mu Yao nodded obediently. "Thank you, Li Li Consort."
I affectionately patted her head.
Before I crossed over, I was responsible for taking care of a baby who had just turned seven months old.
From introducing solid foods to crawling, sitting up, rolling over, pulling up to stand, and walking.
The baby transformed from a tiny bundle of milk into an adorable child babbling away.
I knew well that newborns instinctively feel a closeness to their parents.
But four-year-old Mu Yao already had her own thoughts.
With the passing of Consort Wan, she had to adapt to a new environment.
At four years old, children are at the stage of imitating adults.
Within her small frame, there was already a hint of stubbornness.
She carefully sought to please me, hoping to earn my affection.
Since I, Promised, raised her, I would treat her like my own daughter.
Mu Yao is a clever and adorable child.
I like her very much.
To establish a close relationship with her, I thought of many ways.
At first, we played hide and seek.
I would hide, and she would seek.
In the yard among the osmanthus trees, on the swing, by the pond.
Even in my own chamber, she could find me.
Later on, it was Mu Yao who hid while I sought.
She was quick-witted and always came up with some peculiar hiding spots.
There were times when I truly couldn’t find her.
Whenever I failed to locate her, Mu Yao would jump out with a bright smile.
Then she would take my hand and lead me to search for the next hiding place.
As we played more and more, we grew familiar with each other.
