People around town spread the rumor that the second prince of the Kingdom of Lu, Li Dai, had a fearsome face, a strange appearance, and both scabies and hemorrhoids. As the years passed, no one would marry her, so she used her military might to force handsome men into political marriages.
Li Dai clenched her back teeth and forced out a few words: "I can let 'fearsome face' and 'strange appearance' slide, but scabies and hemorrhoids? How am I supposed to put up with that?"
The Regent of the Kingdom of Xia blushed as he came forward to refute the rumors: "That's not true."
The crowd was baffled. "You're not even remotely connected to each other. Why should we believe your denial?"
The Regent blushed even harder. "I'm merely fortunate enough to have received her favor. You know what I mean!"
The onlookers wore expressions of complete confusion. "We don't."
Li Dai said with a dark expression, "Shut up!"
