At fifteen she belonged to the Princess of Pingyang
And so came to enter Jianzhang Palace.
The Princess's house taught well the art of dance,
The city perfected the craft of dawn make-up
With lowered coiffure she nears the silk mat,
With raised sleeves brushes on floral yellow.
Candles cast shadows near the window,
Her dress spreads perfume in her wardrobe
The reason she attracts guests so well must be
That she makes her dance gown deliberately long.
