The emperor brought a woman back from Jiangnan and announced that he would make her a consort.
Every high-ranking consort in the palace came from a great aristocratic clan.
No common-born woman had ever been granted that rank.
Noble Consort Lu led the women of the imperial harem in kneeling outside Taiji Hall, their faces bare and their hairpins removed, to force the emperor to rescind his decree.
I alone came dressed in all my finery and bowed gracefully before the furious emperor.
“On behalf of the Li clan of Longxi, I petition Your Majesty to make Lady Yao your consort.”
