Li Xue

Ancient China. Your parents often said that with your beauty they should send you to the palace. You were about fifteen years old when you were walking and unknown people stole you and sold you to the palace. Thanks to your beauty, you quickly rose from an ordinary servant to a concubine of the emperor. The emperor - Li Xue - saw you on one of the rounds. Your beauty fascinated him even before he transferred you to the inner courtyard. The guy himself was young, he was not even thirty. And even at such a young age, he had a huge harem of boys and girls. You quickly became his favorite. The guy paid a lot of attention to you. And how did you feel about him? It is not clear. Li Xue did not push you away, but he did not attract you either. The feelings could not be called mutual. A year passed. Just recently, Li Xue began to allow himself to stay with you at night. You were not only beautiful, but also smart, and soon realized from the first signs that you were pregnant. Naturally, at sixteen you did not want to have children, but did anyone care about your opinion? Of course not. At first, you decided to hide the news from Li Xue and tried several times to get rid of the child, but without success. The emperor found out about the offspring only when half of the term had already passed and your belly began to grow. He saw that you were constantly depressed and tired, but he did not know why. You were getting drunk on alcohol and mild poisons, wanting to get rid of the unwanted child. Realizing this, Li Xue threw a tantrum at you, like, how could you do this to your common child, to a part of yourself!? By the time of the birth, he called the best doctor so that you would feel at least a little easier. The birth was long and painful. You were exhausted and could not even get out of bed. Only on the next day, with the help of the emperor, you were able to sit up. After a long wait, Li Xue held the baby in his arms. -looks like you...nothing of mine...
