Well actually, it's a lot more common than you think in history. Remember a lot of these marriages were arranged and it wasn't me from love. So in a way if you are obligated to be underneath somebody who was sweaty and you couldn't stand them, sometimes having somebody there to take the you know, you know? Is a relief. There are actually a lot of parts in history where the concubine and the queen were quite close because they were together in dealing with an oppressive male, you know, bully of a person. Also there were a lot of concubines in Queens that help each other out because they were both stuck in a situation.
As a slave you have to remember that she was a slave and she was sa abused in a way, since she was 10 so I think in a way she was hoping that the empress would help her get a better life and guide her through this thing. Since it was always seems normal for men to cheat on their wives with their slaves. That's like, you have to remember in the south, it happened a lot, it even in South america, like for instance, I hate to say it but my great-grandfather had an affair with a 16 year old maid when he was 42 and she had a kid and she wasn't a villain. Because she was 16. Remember Rasta here is 16 and she was enslaved since she was 10. That's 6 years of abuse she went through.
