Lady Gao narrated at length.
Back then, the Qi Family's twin beauties were famous in the Capital City.
Especially Qi Le, unmatched in beauty and skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Because the Capital City had an open atmosphere at the time, noble women could still ride and hunt, and Qi Le was a leader among them.
Her poems were widely acclaimed by the scholars of the Capital City, and even masters praised her paintings highly.
At palace banquets, her musical performances could move seasoned battlefield generals to tears.
Needless to say, her skills in chess were also exemplary.
Every year when the Emperor went hunting and played in the outskirts with civil and military officials and their wives, Qi Le was skillful in archery and horseback, never returning empty-handed from the hunt.
One year, Qi Le even led noble women and young noblemen from the Capital City in a competition, winning the first prize and presenting a hunted deer to the late Emperor.
