Past midnight and after offering prayers to the Moon Goddess, the party had turned a little bit wild, where the commoner unmated women could be seen roaming around to find a member of the royal family or any men with prestigious status to spend the night with.
This was their chance to raise their status to be one of their women and live inside the palace, or have financial support if they liked them enough to keep visiting them. It would be great if they could become a mistress and give birth to a son.
Those mistresses, who could give birth to a son, would have an easy life.
Meanwhile, all their women would retreat back to their own palaces or homes and continue to party there. Without their men's permission, they were not allowed to step out and expose themselves.
Some women, who were daring enough, would sneak their own men into their bedrooms, since they knew their mates wouldn't return until morning or noon.
