【以下正式開始】

“How big a fool in the world.” Lady Magnificent said with a disdainful smile on her face. “Lady Often Present? If I say, Lady Farce the Often Present will serve her more suitably.” she gave the eunuch servant who was the leader of eunuchs a slight gesture.

“Yes, my Lady.” The eunuch waded through the crowd hardly with his lame leg and seized Lady Often Present by her wrist, just before she could slap other Royal Ladies.

“Leave me away!” Lady Often Present cried out loudly.

Lady Magnificent went toward them slowly, her maid stretched out her hands as a prop for her Lady’s right hand and padded along her Lady’s side carefully.

Then all the Royal Ladies gave the way and knelt immediately to greet Lady Magnificent as they got the sight of her. Lady Often Present also showed her awkward courtesy. “Lady Magnificent.” she said low under her breath.

“Let her go, Still Sea.” Lady Magnificent said impatiently.

“Yes, my Lady.” He loosed the clutch of his hand and let her go free.

Then she continued. “Of late, autumn frames the Royal Garden like painting, but there are some people who stain the beauty of it and ruin all the great moods.”

“Tranquil mocked me openly. I only want to rebuke her a little. Just a little. No more.” Lady Often Present said restlessly.

Lady Magnificent lifted one side of her lips. “Did Your Majesty and I all perish? I don’t even know it is Lady Summer the Often Present who rules the Royal Ladies in the palace now and needs you to castigate them so toilsome, I fear that you couldn’t weigh this burden on the small of your shoulders.”

Her eyes gleamed a hard light, stared at Summer for a moment.

Lady Summer gave her Lady a quick glimpse, eyes on eyes, then lowered her head, wordless.

“The autumn leaves seem not red enough this year.” Lady Magnificent prompted, looked into the distance.

“I‘ve heard the autumn leaves require fresh blood to nourish them, if you want it to be more beautiful.” Her maid grabbed the hint from her Lady as swiftly as a falcon hunted the prey.

“If so, bestow her the scepter of scarlet, using her blood dapples some color for the palace.”

“The scepter of scarlet?” Lady Summer was confused and lost.

“My Lady, the scepter of scarlet is one of the court ways to punish people. To fetch the plank two inches wide and five foot tall strike waist to toe until all sinew breaks and flesh bloody, the sight of it is so red and beautiful when you look at it from far away, that’s the reason why they named it the scepter of scarlet.”

The eunuch explained. “My Lady, please, come this way.”

Lady Summer started and tumbled to the ground. “My Lady, I beg your pardon. Please, mercy! I won’t ever do that again. ”

“If my Lady’s blood really dyed the autumn leaves beautifully in the Royal Garden, that will be your honor, your crowning glory in your whole life.” The maid said it cheerfully.

“Drag her to the cell and see the punishment finish well.” The leader eunuch commanded the servants under his power.

Lady Summer kissed the ground with her head fiercely as she kept her begging. “Lady Magnificent, My Lady, Please! Mercy!” Her sound dwindled as the servants hauled her away.

“Summer offended the noble Lady whose ranks are higher than hers and disgraced the power of the court and let my sisters be scared.

But even though the law doesn't catch all of you, the things are still caused by the three of you. Summer won her glory by herself ,but still you all have a chance to win yours next time. Go back to your place and brood deeply about what happened today."

As Lady Magnificent finished her words, Lady Tranquil stumbled herself to the ground. But Lady Magnificent paid her no mind and went past the crowd back to her own palace.

✦Maple trees devoured the drops of red eagerly by their thick roots, then colored their leaves to deep scarlet.
✦High born Ladies who live in the palace hundred years ago, wore graceful garment, donned heavy ornate decoration on the head, and stood on the high exquisite shoes with small of their feet. It was a sign of wealth and power.
