和婕妤怨 by 劉令嫻

日落應門閉, 愁思百端生。
況復昭陽近, 風傳歌吹聲。
寵移終不恨, 讒枉太無情。
隻言爭分理, 非妬舞腰輕。

The sun has set, the gate is surely closed, And sorrowful thoughts rise in a hundred ways.
The more so as the emperor’s palace is so near: The breeze carries the sounds of song and music!
I do not hate him for his change of heart, But that false slander was simply too cruel:
I could only appeal to principle in my defense — I am not jealous of her waist, however slim.

班婕妤怨 by 劉孝綽

應門寂已閉, 非復後庭時。
況在青春日, 萋萋綠草滋。
妾身似鞦扇, 君恩絕履綦。
詎憶遊輕輦, 從今賤妾辭。

lament poetry concubine ban

班婕妤 by 蕭繹

婕妤初選入，含媚嚮羅幃。

何言飛燕寵，青苔生玉墀。

誰知嚮輦愛，遂作裂紈詩。

以茲自傷苦，終無長信悲。

Who knows the affection when she refuses to share the chariot with the emperor, then she made the poem of the broken silk.
Using this to console her loneliness. Eventually there is nothing like the sadness of Changxin Palace.
