A Reckoning of the "Bride Incidents" in Xizang (from the text "A History of the Shoku Kingdom")
Zhuo district, Youzhou province, Xizang
Two months after the prophesied arrival of the Messenger of Heaven
The arrival of the Messenger of Heaven had greatly changed things in Xizang. Every day, more and more people were flocking to the town in the hopes of finding glory in his service or simply to get a glimpse of him, and its numbers were swelling rapidly as a result.
And with this boom in population came those who were more interested in getting to know the new administrator of Youzhou in a more personal sort of way.
At first, it was relatively straightforward. Women from all over the province, particularly those of modest means or more, would introduce themselves to Lord Ragna during times when he was seeing visitors during the daytime. Often, the women would offer an alliance with their families to Lord Ragna, but inevitably said offers always involved taking the women as wives or consorts, leading him to refuse them.
After several such rejections, Lord Ragna soon found himself dealing with a more persistent crowd of suitors.
One woman, Mei Li, got the guards at the front gate drunk one night and sneaked into the palace, avoiding the others with stealth and speed. Then, she crept into Lord Ragna's room, thinking that he would be asleep; she figured that if she… served him directly, he would be more amenable to the idea of a marriage.
Needless to say, she was rather surprised when Ragna's eyes shot open the moment she opened his door and his six-foot frame was towering over her, burning holes in her head with his red-green glare and putting Blood-Scythe to her neck. She fainted on the spot, and Ragna hand-delivered her to the Li family's home the next morning with a pithy verbal warning: "Your daughter sleepwalks. Try to get her to stop that, please."
Another time, a gift from the Fei family was delivered to the palace in a large wooden box. When Lord Ragna opened it during a casual meeting, figuring that the gift would be something of interest to the court, the second daughter of the family, Jian, popped out without a strip of clothing on, declaring that her body was to be the Fei family's tribute to Lord Ragna.
Old Gan had been present at the time, and proceeded to nearly die from the rather large nosebleed that he experienced shortly afterward. Lady Chouhi's response was to remark, "Sis's boobs are way better, big bro. If you're gonna stare at a pair, stare at hers."
Unsurprisingly, the first thing Lady Kan'u did when she managed to get over her shock was punch Lady Chouhi in the back of the head, followed by several shrieked declarations of "Lord Ragna, please don't listen to this stupid child!" and "GET THAT WOMAN OUT OF HERE THIS INSTANT!"
Perhaps the most audacious attempt, though, came during one of Lord Ragna's routine patrols of the city. While he was passing by a tea shop recently opened up by the Yuan family, he was grabbed by the arm and pulled into said tea shop, then given a sample of tea laced with a slight sleeping powder. At the time, his guards had been in front of him, so because the entire exchange happened so quickly, none of them noticed that he was gone until about five minutes after the fact, and when they found him, his shirt was off and he was stumbling drunkenly down the street with the Yuan triplets hanging on to him like a life preserver, naked as the day they had been simultaneously brought into the world.
Lady Kan'u had come across the scene shortly afterward since she'd been wondering what was taking Lord Ragna so long to finish his patrol, and in her rage, nearly cut the triplets off of him herself before he managed to calm her down.
Even so, he went around sporting a black eye for a few days as a result of the whole debacle, and that particular part of the city remained closed for a week due to the property damage caused both by Lord Ragna's escape from the tea house and Lady Kan'u's attempts to rectify the situation.
It is because of these incidents that the terms "Fei family present" and "a Yuan tea-house coat" became popular in the Xizang vernacular as shorthand for "a pleasant surprise" and "being mobbed by women", respectively.
