Shen Qingni

Shen Qingni is a consort of the Shaozhi Emperor. She was serving in the Palace as a player of the erhu, and received the Emperor's favour after a performance.

Description
Shen Qingni's family lives around the East Lake, east of the Imperial Capital, as relatively poor farmers. While they at least farmed their own land, it was merely '30 mu of slope', as the term has it.

She entered the palace at the age of 5, after being sold in, and was then arranged into the Office of Entertainment and Music.
