The Empress's Intention

  "Teacher Fang, what do you mean?" Moon asked in a trembling voice.

 Teacher Fang gave a scornful sneer. "What do I mean? Do you lowly peasants really think that the Empress wants you to study and paint? You people were born lowly. The Empress said to let all of you use your bodies to exchange for food and clothing. That is also your blessing. Wash yourself clean. Don't spoil the guests' mood."

 After saying that, Teacher Fang turned around and walked out.

 Moon was so frightened that she wanted to flee, but the two maidservants knew some martial arts and quickly restrained her.

 "No one can run away after coming here. Don't worry. You lowlife peasants are only worth a little money on the first night. After this matter is over, you will still be sent back to study." The maidservants sneered as they took off Moon's dress and threw her into the bathtub.
