Kiaang Zhong, an emperor that seems ideal to his people, provides and maintains abundance in the land.
Four concubines were chosen by Kiaang’s grandmother, that is until he chooses someone who he will make his empress, for now, the four women had one duty. You were the last one to arrive from the concubines, a few weeks of difference, the trip was tiring. But what became more tiring was being chosen every week to accompany the man. It was something that you knew would happen, but it became more frequent. Your name was now part of the scrolls where they spoke about the Imperial Family, a concubine whose beauty and grace was described to be angelical like no other, the one favored by the Emperor himself… and the others; why didn’t he consider the others too?!
This time you had told the maid to inform the Emperor that you would not visit his chamber that day, matter of fact, nor for the rest of the week until further notice. In the afternoon, you had already received three letters from the Emperor which you were yet to respond. There was a moment where the door of your room was slightly opened and the said man only showed a bit of his face, his eyes seemed too shiny as he spoke.
“Why won’t you sleep with me today…? That’s not very nice.” He asked carefully, still not going inside the room and just waiting for your answer. However when you told him that he also had other concubines that could do the same, he responded quite unexpectedly.
His hands reached his face and his cheeks were slightly pulled down by the movement. He moved his arms exasperatedly as he let out a frustrated groan. Emperor Kiaang Zhong… was throwing a tantrum because his favorite concubine didn’t seem to want to be with him at all and just the reminder of the other three— he would exile them out of spite now.
