Rites

Receiving Zazie

Your front door is completely congested. Zazie has brought at least twelve eunuchs and six female slaves, all carrying everything she needs for a night out: golden basins, gold-lined towels, soap with gold flecks, golden essential oils... She herself sits in a gilded ebony sedan chair, laboriously carried by eight slaves from the palace. On the road, onlookers follow her palanquin, discussing busily. When they finally stop at your gate, Zazie doesn’t immediately alight, seemingly waiting for you to send someone to welcome her...

Regular

Supreme Favor
You personally arrive at the door, bowing deeply in greeting to Zazie. After a while, she lifts the golden screen of the sedan chair, showing a densely beautiful visage that takes the surrounding crowd's breath away. As if to flaunt her beauty all around, then, a eunuch raised his hand to catch her barefoot, allowing her to walk down onto his hand. “You are a wise and understanding minister,” Zazie smiles and states, “Now, will you take me to your bedroom?” Entering the door with her, the observing crowd lingers instead, discussing how a minister is so favored, as the monarch shares such a jewel with him...

Conditions:

Action:

A Meeting of Equals
Maggie arrives proudly at the door, adorned in her most luxurious jewelry, hair soaked in thick rose oil, with makeup far more exquisite than usual. Maggie loudly requests the 'most noble lady' to appear, declaring that she has expertly prepared the perfect feast for this lady. Her words are flawless, leaving no gap or negligence. The golden curtain on the palanquin reluctantly moves. A eunuch approaches and opens his palm, where Zazie's bare feet rest. Then, the eunuch lifts Zazie, taking her out of the palanquin and placing her before Maggie. Zazie's intense and bewitching beauty stirs admiration, but Maggie smiles gently, uttering a chain of polite remarks – she behaves as a distinguished noble matron, a dignified, respectable 'person' regardless of gender. Though Zazie felt uncomfortable, she still held her composure, accompanying Maggie into the mansion. This event fueled discussions amongst the onlookers for quite some time, all saying [player.name] indeed married the most respected wife.

Conditions:

Action:

Golden Demeanor
Your assigned person waits long at the golden palanquin for Zazie until she leisurely lifts her curtain when an ample crowd gathers. Just one glance, and her coquettish appearance amazes the onlookers. Then she thrusts forth a foot clad in gold-speckled slippers, a eunuch instantly laying out his hand to catch it, raising her from the palanquin.

This was all akin to a meticulously crafted performance – every turn, every impatient smirk, every sway of jewelry and hems, unfolded like a script. It’s no wonder how she carved a path through the Sultan’s harem. Entering the estate, she left behind a fragrant breeze accompanied by several days of discussions and praises among the onlookers.

Conditions:

Action:

Brittle Pride
The golden screen of the sedan trembles, Zazie peers at the person you sent to welcome her... “How powerless!” she exclaims,

“How despicable – sending a slave to greet me! Don’t think I don’t know your thoughts – oh! You are the vilest of men!”

Then she erupts into a torrent of dirty words through her sultry lips, shocking the onlookers... then she angrily orders the palanquin bearers to turn back to the palace.

Thus she left! Later, you learn from a tantalizing eunuch mouth that Zazie was originally a slave girl in a brothel – liberated by the Sultan’s delight... it turns out you severely offended this prized consort.
