About This Quote
The imperial concubine was fully aware of her own beauty, and she tended to be attracted by any force, such as religion, that treated her beauty and her high rank as things of no value. The imperial concubine had the great fortune of being born into a family with a history of excellence and excellence in government. She was raised to believe that she was of royal blood and therefore worthy of equal treatment. She was therefore proud and proud of what she had been raised to think of as her own worth.
However, when her husband became an emperor he did not want any more concubines or mistresses (although she did get one), nor did he want any more wives or consorts. He demanded that she submit to him but she refused. Her refusal brought about his downfall.
