Having visited yet another imperial palace - this time the Forbidden City in Hue, Jonathan has concluded that his next career choice is that of Emperor ( I would have gone for supreme ruler but hey I watch too much sci fi ). I have been delegated chief concubine and as such have been briefed with recruiting a harem / number of concubines.
Job description: You will be required to look beautiful whilst lounging around on sofas whilst smiling at the emperor/ complementing him ( lists of acceptable complements will be provided by me). Also as circumstances dictate - you may be required to perform the royal fan dance (risque....)
Salary: ten grapes a day ( but meals and board are included)
Qualification: You must be smaller than me, heavier than me and less beautiful than me.(really it is all about me).
Job challenges: Me, if you become too pretty or the emperor likes you more than me, I will insure my eunuchs poison you / you are given to a mandarin (depending on whether I liked you in the first place).
Chief concubine: seppy
