If it is increased by one point, it will be too long; if it is reduced by one point, it will be too short; if it is powdered, it will be too white; if it is applied with vermilion, it will be too red; its eyebrows will be like green feathers, its muscles will be like white snow, its waist will be like a bunch of silk, and its teeth will be like shells.
Eunuch Li's call woke me up. I quickly knelt down and said:
"I, my concubine, see the Imperial Concubine Xin, who is a thousand years old."
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Get up, sister, there is no need to be polite." After I stood up, she ordered:
"You all retreat." Eunuch Li led a group of palace people to retreat and closed the door.
"Sister, please sit down." She waved her palace fan lightly and signaled with a smile, but I didn't want to be too polite and sat down.
"The imperial concubine is here to see me. I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of meeting me. I forgive you for having the courage to ask me what's going on." I asked straight to the point.
"Sister, please speak quickly. I don't need to beat around the bush. I want you to do something."
Concubine Xin suppressed her smile, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
"Your Majesty, if you don't speak secretly, what else can't you do in the world?"
I sneered and said, I don’t know what the shady thing is, but what makes me wonder is why you came to me?
"You are wrong. There are things in the world that I cannot do. I need you during the period when I cannot serve Your Majesty.
I would like to have an affair with Concubine Yan on my behalf. To tell you the truth, I am pregnant with the emperor’s son.
In order to ensure that it is born safely, I spend as much energy as I do on other things."
"Your Majesty, please excuse me for being outspoken. What you just said made me feel incredible!
I wonder which woman in the world would find another woman to compete with her for her husband’s favor?
Besides, you are so sure that I can treat you wholeheartedly, but my concubine’s talent and appearance are far different from those of my empress.”
