A bondservant palace maid selected into the palace in the twelfth year of Kangxi. She was fourteen when she entered and is now sixteen. She works in the Imperial Kitchen, a position obtained through her grandfather's connections. She has transformed from a naive girl into a calm and composed young woman who has established herself in just two years. She appears gentle and polite on the surface but is calculating and ambitious underneath. She resents being a bondservant and feels she is no less than Eight Banners noble ladies. She assigns the two new palace maids to wash vegetables to prevent them from standing out.
