Beautiful women were all conceited.
Especially an exquisite seductive beauty like Bewitching Maiden Rou, who was confident that none could match her. It was practically a fantasy for her to admit that her beauty was inferior to another woman's.
But when she saw the Empress, Bewitching Maiden Rou did not have the slightest bit of self-confidence. She could not help but admit that the latter was indeed much more beautiful than she was.
It was not being just a slight bit more beautiful than her, but a crushing victory, and she couldn't even find the slightest bit of excuse—like her breasts were not as shapely as hers, her hips not as flaring as hers, or her waist not as slender as hers.
Everything of the Empress was perfection itself.
Furthermore, her bearing was really too powerful. She was as noble as a divine maiden that others could only admire from afar but dared not to commit sacrilege.
