Believing the imperial guard Fucha Fuheng to be her sister's killer, Yingluo purposely attracts the attention of his sister the Empress Fucha, and is successfully transferred to Changchun Palace as a maid.
由于懷疑富察傅恒是殺姐姐的兇手,魏瓔珞有目的地吸引了傅恒的姐姐——富察皇后的注意,并且成功地成為了長春宮的一名宮女。
Over time, she learns that the Fucha siblings are honest and kind-hearted people, and also develops romantic affections for Fuheng.
久而久之,她發(fā)現(xiàn)富察姐弟都是正直善良的好人,而且和富察傅恒展開了一段感情戲。
Though Wei Yingluo is not of noble birth,the kind-hearted Empress Fucha personally teaches her how to read and write,and encourages her to treat everyone with kindness.
盡管魏瓔珞并不是貴族出生,善良的富察皇后依然親自教她讀書寫字,教她真誠地對待每個人。
Though Wei Yingluo has reached a stable position as a trusted palace maid, she hadn't forgotten that avenging hersister's death was her top priority.
