Long ago in the Imperial Court, the emperor fell in love
with a certain lady. She was not of a high rank, nor was
she of a low rank. The emperor lavished her with much
attention, causing other ladies of the court to say hurtful
things about her and treat her poorly. These ladies
resented her presence in the court and made her feel
very unwelcome. Their unkindness caused her to
become ill, which in turn kept her at home and away
from the court and the emperor, But the emperor's
affection for her only grew and gave him courage to
pursue his love despite what others thought
