Xuexue awoke drowsily, slowly opening her eyes, and what came into view was a pale yellow canopy, with layers of tassels gently swaying above her head.
Xuexue shifted uncomfortably, only to find the bed beneath her was cold and hard. Even though the luxurious Yunluo Silk, as gentle as rippling water, was spread beneath her, it was incredibly thin. A periodic scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, tranquil and pleasant.
Beside the bed was a window, intricately carved and made of rare wood. Outside was a picturesque scene with rock gardens, small ponds, green lotuses, and pink water lilies. Occasionally, small maidservants passed by, their footsteps and conversation were barely audible.
For a moment, Xuexue was confused, thinking she was in the War Prince's Mansion, but a closer look at the room's decor suggested otherwise.
"Oh, where is this place?"
