On the table was a mirror, one which had been placed, in days of yore, in the Mirror Palace of the Emperor Wu Tse-tien. On one side stood a gold platter, in which Fei Yen, who lived in the Chao state, used to stand and dance. In this platter, was laid a quince, which An Lu-shan had flung at the Empress Tai Chen, inflicting a wound on her breast. In the upper part of the room, stood a divan ornamented with gems, on which the Emperors daughter, Shou Chang, was wont to sleep, in the Han Chang Palace Hanging, were curtains embroidered with strings of pearls, by Tung Chang, the Imperial Princess.
Its nice in here, its nice in here, exclaimed Pao-yue with a chuckle.
This room of mine, observed Mrs. Chin smilingly, is I think, good enough for even spirits to live in! and, as she uttered these words, she with her own hands, opened a gauze coverlet, which had been washed by Hsi Shih, and removed a bridal pillow, which had been held in the arms of Hung Niang. Instantly, the nurses attended to Pao-yue, until he had laid down comfortably; when they quietly dispersed, leaving only the four waiting maids: Hsi Jen, Chiu Wen, Ching Wen and She Yueh to keep him company.
Mind be careful, as you sit under the eaves, Mrs. Chin recommended the young waiting maids, that the cats do not start a fight!
Pao-yue then closed his eyes, and, little by little, became drowsy, and fell asleep.
