Translator's Note

Pwahaha the Chinese idiom for this is that a dog’s mouth can never spit out ivory. I am so amused by this saying.

Translator's Note

Qieshen is another way concubines / consorts refer to themselves. It means “I”. This is the first time Lou Jing has referred to himself as qieshen, so it’s significant and funny all at the same time. It indicates that he is taking his role as Consort seriously. Lou Jing previously always referred to himself as Chen, indicating his status as an official in the Imperial Court.

  1. I am liking these two more and more. I can’t wait for all the “secrets” to be unraveled!

    I am a bit peeved though that they are all men, but just because Lou Jing and the empress have the “female” title in the marriage they are expected to adhere to the female customs and not be able to have any other women or men when their husbands still can. 🙄

  2. I wonder who’s (/are) the Crown Prince and Fourth Prince biological mother is/are. It was only mentioned that the two grew up (or raised) by the Empress.

  3. Also, the two of you are still young. Don’t overindulge in pleasures of the flesh, it will damage your body.”

    I choked on the water I was drinking.

    Also, I think it’s kind of unfair that the Emperess and the Crown prince consort have to follow the rules of women when they literally aren’t women.
