    Three women came to the palace. The one with fair and delicate features was named Sima Ai, seventeen years old, and the niece of Sima Yan. She was tall and slender, preferred to wear simple and elegant clothes, and her speech and manners were graceful and proper. However, deep down, I didn't think she would be His Majesty's type. To His Majesty, Sima Ai was too bland, unlikely to pique his interest. This young and idle Consort Zhao often came to chat with me. Unfortunately, poetry and songs were not my forte, and she knew nothing about archery or horsemanship, so in the end, we could only engage in idle talk. She, however, was quite resentful about my demotion. "Men and women should not touch each other; it is proper etiquette. A sister-in-law who is drowning should be rescued by a helping hand; it is a matter of principle. The Wang family of Yinling is, after all, a scholarly family; surely he doesn't understand this principle?" Seeing her slightly agitated expression, I smiled. "It's all just empty fame, like the clouds in the sky, gone in the blink of an eye. Consort Yun, that's good!" The woman who accompanies His Majesty every night is named Bai Ling'er; she is the daughter of Sister Feng's brother. Taking advantage of the palace selection, Feng Baizhan recommended her. Unlike his plain-looking niece, her allure is a trait inherited from his wife's family. Thanks to Feng Baizhan's wealthy background, Bai Ling'er wears the most flamboyant clothes and dresses the most seductively. Coupled with her innate charm and voice that makes men's bones melt, it's no wonder His Majesty is completely captivated by her. If Sima Ai can only meet and exchange a few words with His Majesty during the day when he comes to Yanqing Palace to chat with me... Lately, as soon as it gets dark, His Majesty invariably rushes off to spend time with Bai Ling'er until dawn. His Majesty, deep down, is still a spoiled brat. The last one is Wang Chuchu, whom I dislike the most. She's Wang Xian and Wang Feng'er's cousin. The young girl, though not very old, always puts on a bitter, resentful expression whenever she sees me. Whenever I see Wang Feng'er, Wang Chuchu is always following behind her. After I finish bowing to Wang Feng'er, Wang Chuchu will put on a stern face and slightly curtsy to me, which she considers her way of bowing. Once, before I had gone far, this little girl loudly told her aunt, "Auntie, hurry up and get His Majesty to grant me a concubine title! I don't want to bow to this wild woman!" An Chunhai, somewhat indignant, pulled a long face and shouted that he wanted to argue with me. I quickly stopped him, telling him I understood his filial piety, but there was no need to get angry over such a person. Life continued uneventfully, day after day. Wang Ziwei and Xia Zhengwu grew taller day by day, and in the blink of an eye, they went from babbling infants to little kids who pestered me with questions every day. Especially Wang Ziwei; this girl's personality is somewhat like mine—outgoing and straightforward, with clear likes and dislikes in her interactions with others. Because I told her that Sima Ai came from a distinguished family and was very learned, Wang Ziwei pestered her to teach her to read and write. Sima Ai, who had nothing else to do, couldn't resist Wang Ziwei's persistent pleading and tried teaching her. After a short time, Sima Ai was very impressed with her, telling me that although Wang Ziwei was young, she was a natural scholar. Whether it was classics, history, philosophy, poetry, or prose, Sima Ai would often teach her twice, and Wang Ziwei would quickly understand the principles. She could even apply what she learned to other situations, and began to comment on the people and things around her. For example, her principle regarding Xia Zhengwu was that no one, except my mother and me, could bully him, not even His Majesty; she showed him no mercy. Xia Zhengwu was always somewhat distant from His Majesty because His Majesty visited less often. One day, His Majesty, in a good mood, wanted to tease him, but ended up making him cry. Wang Ziwei angrily rushed to His Majesty, stretching out her hands to protect her younger brother, forbidding His Majesty from touching him again. Seeing this, I quickly tried to pull Wang Ziwei away, but His Majesty stopped me. His Majesty smiled and asked her, "Xia Zhengwu is my son, why won't you let me touch him, little girl?" "He is Your Majesty's son, but Your Majesty hasn't really educated him much. The Three Character Classic even says, 'It is the father's fault if he raises a child without teaching him.' Your Majesty has made mistakes; you can only touch him after you've corrected them." His Majesty, scolded by this little girl, couldn't say anything to her, and could only say to me, "This girl is indeed your daughter; her temperament is exactly the same!" But thanks to Wang Ziwei, His Majesty's visits to my place became much more frequent afterward. What surprised me most was that this girl would actually stand up for Sima Ai. One day, she actually spoke indignantly to His Majesty in front of Sima Ai, saying, "Although Aunt Sima is His Majesty's concubine, His Majesty rarely visits her. She's so young and beautiful; if she hadn't entered the palace to marry His Majesty, how many men would be pursuing her outside? Hasn't His Majesty wasted Aunt Sima's prime years?" Wang Ziwei's words made everyone present feel somewhat embarrassed. His Majesty could only feign anger and ask her, "Who taught you these words? I am the Son of Heaven, and all the concubines in the palace are my wives. Do I need a little girl like you to tell me who I want to be with?" "But Your Majesty, this is unfair!" Wang Ziwei showed no fear, looking up at His Majesty. "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. Even Heaven knows to distribute its rains equally. You are the son of Heaven, how can you favor only one person?" Seeing that Wang Ziwei was becoming increasingly absurd, I tried to stop her, but His Majesty seemed to have lost his temper and continued to ask her, "Who said I favor only one person?" "Everyone in the palace knows! All the eunuchs and maids say that His Majesty goes to Liufang Pavilion to find Consort Bai as soon as it gets dark." Hearing Wang Ziwei's words, His Majesty's face gradually darkened. Seeing that this girl's talkativeness had already displeased His Majesty, I reprimanded her a few times. Unexpectedly, the little girl, while crying, said, "I didn't say anything wrong! The books say that preventing people from speaking is more difficult than preventing a river from overflowing. Rather than scaring others into silence and turning yourself into a blind and deaf person, it's better to listen to others' opinions." Then, she turned to the Emperor and asked, "As the Son of Heaven, shouldn't Your Majesty be open to good advice?" Her profound reasoning was so eloquent that the Emperor blushed and was speechless for a moment. Seeing Wang Ziwei crying so bitterly, the Emperor finally felt a pang of pity. He rose and scooped Wang Ziwei up in his arms, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief. He said, "You're absolutely right! I've remembered it. How could I, a wise and benevolent emperor revered by all, not accept heartfelt advice from others?" His Majesty then turned to Sima Ai beside him and said, "You've done a very good job as a teacher. Wang Ziwei is only a few years old, yet you've already taught her so much. I hadn't noticed your strengths before, but today I truly see them." Since Wang Ziwei's outburst, Sima Ai, who had rarely received His Majesty's favor, discovered she was pregnant with his child in less than three months. Meanwhile, Bai Ling'er, who used to be favored every night, found that His Majesty's visits to her were far less frequent than before.
