"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, murmuring, "Lotus Princess... Just by the name, you can tell she must be a beauty..."
"Of course she's a beauty, otherwise how could she win the Emperor's favor..." said the official, "I've only seen her once, and she was breathtaking, like a heavenly being. Although she's a woman in her thirties, she looks just like a maiden in her twenties. She bore the Emperor a daughter, Princess Hua Shao, who is also a beauty. Standing together, they don't look like mother and daughter at all, but more like sisters—nine out of ten people would mistake them as such... Tsk tsk..."
Wang Xiaoqiang stroked his chin, recalling past events.
He had seen Princess Hua Shao and indeed, she was a beauty, even more beautiful than Ann Miaoyi by a few degrees, with a nobler and more refined air about her. However, his interest was more piqued by this Lotus Princess.
