The Empress sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her gradually aging face, feeling a bit sad, and said to the palace maids, "Help me hide these few white hairs inside, so the Emperor won't see them."
The palace maid replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, rest assured, you know my skills. In a moment, I will make you look radiant, and even the Emperor will be moved."
The Empress sighed sadly and recited softly to herself:
"Ten years ago, I was a guest before dignity,
The moon was bright, the breeze clear,
Worries withered away,
Old age comes shockingly fast.
Though my hair has changed, my heart remains unchanged,
Trying to listen to the old tunes with the golden goblet,
It's still like the drunken voice of yesteryear."
