'I hear that Wen Yanli, the beautiful as a celestial maiden youngest daughter of Chancellor Wen, and the well-read, well-mannered darling daughter of Minister Lou are known as Kyoto's two great beauties. One is peerless in looks, the other in talent.'
'Oh?' Emperor Zhiya raised an eyebrow. 'But I heard that Hong Ji, the famous courtesan of Kyoto, is a beauty blessed with both talent and looks?'
Note:
1. I absolutely adore The Legend of Sword and Fairy, so the place names and various other things in this story are borrowed from it. ^-^
2. I'm writing this purely for myself, so please don't nitpick the history. Read carefully: this is an alternate world. +_-
I really like the writing of this article. It should be a good story. Keep writing it.
