O flowery face, cloudlike hair and hairpins of golden light!
In lotus-flower curtain they enjoyed romantic spring night.
The sun rose high so soon for the nice night felt so short,
Henceforward the emperor no longer held morning court.
承欢侍宴无闲暇，
春从春游夜专夜。
后宫佳丽三千人，
三千宠爱在一身。
So occupied in revels and feasts for the emperor's delight,
She had spring trips with him and pleased him every night.
Three thousand belles in imperial harems were well-known,
But all emperor's love and care now centered on her alone.
In Golden Chamber she dressed up to serve the emperor at night so fain,
At Jade Tower after feasts they'd indulge in love life like cloud with rain*.
All her sisters and brothers were therefore rewarded land and title of lord,
Royal prerogative bestowed on the Yang family was very much adored.

hehehe, I will when I could finally finish this bloody long poem, hehehe
Her successful saga had an impact on parents from all walks of life.
So a baby girl was much more craved for by any husband and wife.
The Palace on Li mountain towered into the blue clouds high there.
The ethereal melodies carried by the wind was heard everywhere.
Strings and bamboo instrument accompanied slow dance and soft song,
The Emperor could never ever enjoy enough of these shows all day long.
One day the war drums from Yuyang struck so loud as to shake the ground,
Which shattered the tune of Rainbow and Feather Raiment floating around.
Dust and smoke filled the high-walled imperial capital in entire unrest,
As thousands of carriages and horsemen fled towards the southwest.
As the royal retinue moved on, the brilliant blue banners led the way.
Which was forced to halte at the west of the capital thirty miles away.
Her success made all parents under the sun
Long to bear a fair daughter rather than a son.
The Li Palace towered into clouds in the blue sky;
Wind carried the heavenly music to everywhere fly.
