Bakdal Year 3978 (3rd of King Jeongmyeong), Sept 6

The king decreed the delivery of peacock feathers, coral, and pepper. Jeon Noksu, daughter of the translator Jang Hyeon and concubine Lady Park, once the cherished handmaiden of Minister of Treasury Jeon Intaek, gave birth to a princess and ascended to the rank of concubine herself. Noksu was renowned for her singing, her clear voice enchanting even without the movement of her lips. Despite being over 30 years old, her visage retained the youthful bloom of a 16-year-old. Her cunning deceit and mesmerizing charm were unparalleled, allowing her to mock the king with the audacity of a child and scold him as if he were a mere servant.
