(The make up look)

As she said there she listened in on the conversations happening around her. Specifically the conversations happening months to meet and a handful of the girls who decided to wait in her room.

Old Madame Zhang truly does know how to pick favorites doesn't she?

Now you know why the prince was looking at our section.

I must say this lady truly is beautiful. Her face so young and beautiful.

Maybe we should be friend her she doesn't seem as if she's actually interested in the Crown Prince. But he's clearly interested in her.

Old Madame Zhang is it absolute menace I heard. I didn't understand how I was able to be picked into her section but now I'm thinking if I attached myself like honey to this girl maybe I'll have a better chance of surviving Palace life.

Did you know all of us here are commerce? How could a girl as beautiful as her feel commoner there must have been a mistake she's so pale !

It's not like she's any competition. Because pretty shoes we're all on the same we'll see how well she does when we have to start doing the test especially the etiquette she looks like she'd be nothing more than a Savage!

I like this Mrs she doesn't seem to be as ignorant as the others I hope she makes it pretty far.

I've never hoped for girls to pass these passwords to be picked by one of the princess before my life but I say we hope this one out she doesn't seem as arrogant as the others.

Meiying & Old Madame Zhang seemed helpful is taking a liking to this one. I say we tie ourselves to her too maybe finally we can get out of here and become needs of a higher up wouldn't that be so nice.

Daiyu sat there and listened to all this conversations going on around her. She was happy to be able to check off the fact that at least four to five of maids / servants here were willing to work with her and for her rather than against her. Something that it seems the other girls around her unaware of Palace life can be easy or can be hard and most of the time it depended on how the servants saw you. If they liked you they did everything they could to make sure that you never got in trouble even if you did do something wrong if they didn't like you well they know more about the palace than anybody else will know exactly what to say what to do what to hint at to get you kicked out.

She was also pleasantly surprised to take in the fact that maybe only a handful of girls there I'm planning on using her. She's even surprised to see that some of them genuinely thought of her as a safe and Grace to some degree not to mention the tone of which they talked / spoke about her said a lot. She can hear that envy and jealousy in the voices of some while others genuinely just sounded scared frightened as if they just wanted someone to enchant you that could genuinely help them in furthering their career or social status.

Daiyu knew that she was going to have to weed out which ones were which dealing with she was only able to hear them and not see them. It was like going to be a gruesome task that would take quite a while to achieve especially as she'll be busy studying and making sure that she's passing everyone with the test and exams to come her way. Speaking of which she knew that they only had two weeks time before the first minor test was to be taken one to just further proof that they actually knew what they were there for and not just there for shits and giggles or to capture the eye of one of the princes.
