While there could be an unlimited number of Attendants and Maids, there really were only 100 places for concubines in the Forbidden City. It was not like any 14 year old boy could handle 100 women on his own anyway. In our marginal, yet cozy, household were Bao, Jun, Lee, Tao and us. There were also three eunuch servants that served us hand and foot. I was pleased. There was nothing we needed that could not be gotten for us. We were all the envy of all the women in the empire. Due to our station, I was sure that we would not be called on much if at all. The only negative thing was the fact we had to give face to all the higher ranked concubines. They could not let the slight go. I did not care for them and I did not hide that fact. I gave them the face they deserved, but nothing more. That made them hate us even more. The other concubines were also commoners shoved to the back. They had no money for makeup, but the did have a natural charm. Two had freckles and others had beauty marks. They were also more open to being frank and at times, crass. I liked them a lot.
As a month passed, I wanted to cook for the household. I had them decide what they wanted the day before and sent the servants out to get the materials. What they wanted was pork dumplings. I was more than willing to do it for them. I made sure that it was perfect for them. While the food was cooking, I was surprised to see that a curious Wang Jing was waiting in the sitting room of the house. We all gathered and bowed to him. He nodded and looked at us gently. He then looked at me and Analim. He then blinked as we were in commoner clothes. "Analim was painting the portraits of the others. I was cooking for the household today. Everyone wanted pork dumplings to eat. I cook once a month. Will you stay with us? We would love to have you." I said. He wanted to see them. Analim was doing the finishing touches today. I was proud of him. My portrait was done first. The next was a self portrait for himself. That made the others want one as well. Analim looked at the servants and the easels were brought to the sitting room. I was always impressed at how photo-realistic his style was.
It was very cool in my opinion. He seemed to think so as well. "This is truly amazing! I have never seen anything like this before." He then looked at Analim and asked him "Do you mind if I take these to my estate? I want show my mother and hand it in my personal gallery of art." I nodded and said "I am sure that we will all be happy to see you enjoy them. You can take all six." He nodded and looked at his servants. The dumplings were ready and I was ready to serve them. I placed them out with a porcelain plate and chopsticks. I also made a cocktail that would go well with it. Everyone seemed to like it. Wang Jing most of all. He looked at me and asked if I wanted to go to his chambers for the night. I could not really refuse. I was his concubine after all. I took my jian with me and took his hand as I followed him. Once we got to his imperial chambers, the doors were sealed. I looked at him and said "My lord, what is your favorite thing about me? I would like to hear it." He paused and said "I love your eyes. No one has eyes that color. I also like your voice. That song caught my attention."
That was a good enough answer. I bent down so I could be level with him. I smiled at him and said "Wang Jing. I am an angel. If you can beat a challenge for me, I will form a contract with you and lead you to any victory you desire." He did not believe me. He just gently took my clothes off and then his own. He sat on the bed and smirked at me. If you are an angel prove it. I said "The first test is not to scream. Cover your mouth to make sure you pass, okay?." He did and I showed him my true form. His eyes went wide and he scrambled back. I then showed him my centaur and drider forms. He looked like he wanted to scream. I then finished with my male form as I crawled onto the bed. I smirked as I stopped just in front of him. "You pass the first test, my lord." I said as I returned to my female form. He took his hand from his mouth and said "You really are an angel. I'm sorry for all of my disrespect! I'll make you crowed consort immediately." I stopped him and said "No! I like where I am. I can't protect you from the shadows if you put me in the view of everyone."
Seeing that he got the message, I said "There is just one more test." He nodded and asked what it was. "If you can take my virginity in my spider form, I will for a contract. Once we form it, all you need to do is say the summon incantation and call my name. I will appear by your side and defend you. You'll never fear the plots of others again." I could see a flash of fear race across his eyes. He then took my hands and said "Let me try. If I had an true angel on my side, my dynasty would be secure." I smiled and laid on my back. I sighed and transformed. He looked at me with some fear before he slowly got closer to me. Wang Jing was obviously not into it, but he did want all of my protection. He sighed as he began to stroke himself to hardness. He was only four and a half inches. I wasn't too intimidated by something that small. He mounted me and was about to stick it in. "Wait." I stopped him for a second. He looked at me in annoyance. "What!?" he snapped. "Wrong hole." was all I said to him. He blushed bright red and apologized meekly. I chuckled lightly at him and told him to keep on going.
