The Jealousy of the Capital's First Lady

The Crown Prince is of age but still unmarried, so the Emperor grants him Yang Ping'an, the daughter of a marquis's household, as his Crown Princess. On the first day after the betrothal, Young Master Liang of the Board of Rites receives a songstress from the Western Regions and invites the Crown Prince to his residence to enjoy the performance. When Yang Ping'an hears of it, she flies into a rage, grabs her red-tasseled silver spear, captures Young Master Liang, and gives him a sound beating. On the second day after the betrothal, Imperial Censor Cao, whose wife is notoriously fierce, petitions the Emperor to choose beauties for the Crown Prince and fill the Eastern Palace. Yang Ping'an promptly sends several beauties to the Cao residence. The household descends into chaos, and the next day Lord Cao appears at court with a bruised and swollen face. From then on, he never again mentions filling the Eastern Palace. On the third day after the betrothal, the Empress Dowager holds a Peach Blossom Banquet to help the Crown Prince find a bride. Yang Ping'an performs a sword dance for the guests, frightening the noble young ladies so badly that they scatter in every direction. From that day on, Yang Ping'an, daughter of the marquis's household, earns herself the title of the capital's number-one shrew, narrow-minded, suspicious, and jealous, all before she has even married.
