Emperor birthday

Inner room of Marquis Xiao, he walk aggressively, he can't punish this evil concubine of his because of empress wanting her scheming daughter, he regret going to the birthday of Minister of rite Mr Wang unless he won't have end up marrying his scheming and evil sister as a concubine because he was too drunk to realised it's a trapped set for him, when he's betrothed to Princess Jade, if not for the fact Jade love him she would have cut off the engagement.

He supposed to be home before all this but he went to Shalom Temple to ask the abbot about Xiaoling prophecy, he told him that Xiaoling is destiny to be an empress because she's a Phoenix, that's her fate,and I ask him why she's regarded as a jinx, he said maybe divination is a a mistake but he never lie on someone prophecy, and fate will tell which one is truth or lie.

Now I have to play a fool for Nanli and his daughter to guarantee Xiaoling and Xiaoyu safety, he can't punish them because of the empress and can't offend minister of Rite because he's favor by the Emperor, he's stuck in spot.

My lord pls believed me, I have nothing to do with Xiaoling and Xiaoyu sickness trust me, Nanli plead as she cry.

Marquis feel like slapping her but he can't, it's fine Nanli I trust you and make sure Ling love you more than before I don't want Duke feng to think am not capable of handling my home nor official Shen who came for political issue think I can't even handle my home how can I handle state affairs and I want answer on Xiaoyu guard I didn't say anything then because you are now my wife,so give me explanation, are you planning to kill my heir for your son,he ask in anger.

I dare not my lord,am sure Xiaoling is speaking nonsense told by that cunning maid of her,I look into the matter and brought justice for her and my son yu, she said kneeling.

Better and discipline Xiaoping well because the empress want her for the first Prince and with this kind of behavior I don't think she fit, He threatened.

No need tell Xiaoling and Xiaoping with Xaiopeng to prepare to go to the Emperor birthday banquet, he said as he leave.

*Regent manor*

*Marquis Xiao manor*

Where are we going that I have to wake up from sleep to dress nicely, Xiaoling ask in anger as Ming disturbed her sleep.

Madam sent your cloth, but Prince Yue said you will ride in his carriage and sent you princess cloth, the carriage is waiting for you outside and madam with first and third miss have left, we can't afford for his Majesty and her Majesty to reach there before us unless we be charge with disrespect and may not be able to pay the price, Ming explained as she dress her hair.

Princess are you still applying this dirty on your face,you may irritate the Emperor and receive punishment, I also hear from first miss maidservant that she's choosen as first Prince princess consort, am sure they will give you hard time from now on, Ming said in worry tone.

He's right, I will still look for him.

Ming tell me how to much power the regent hold, she ask as she Clean the mess on her face and applied loose powder that show her beauty.

Wow princess, you look so beautiful that Lady Xiaoping can't stand your 1%, Ming said happily.

You haven't answer me, she reply.

Sorry my princess, everyone in the country if Beiyue know regent is the son if late emperor, and beiyue was name after him, he was sent out if beiyue when he was 4 years to trained and he excel and rule over 1million armies and defeated many country before he was 15, he was coming home when the news of the Emperor and empress death caught him unaware, ming said as they enter the carriage.

You are beautiful Ling ,yue compliment.

Thanks cousin, what killed them ming she ask.

It's said the Emperor is suffering from unknown disease and that took his life and due to the fact that empress can't hold it ,she was depressed and die, ming explained.

Don't he have siblings, she ask.

Let me complete the story, Yue said.

Per grandfather who's close to late emperor, and he's also the one that have the Emperor last wish whose caught this emperor unaware.

What happen, she ask.

Grandfather was the one regent went to war with then, then he was named crown prince beiyue but his mother call him Qinchen because of the love they share, the Emperor didn't Marry anyone because before Royal princess Suyao is the elder sister of the country of Ming city, no one dare offer him a concubine then, so there's only empress, so Prince beiyue is of Royal birth from mother and father side, before the Emperor death he sent letter to grandfather with the dragon seal that incase Anything happen to him,his son should be the regent no matter what and always hold the military power, then they are still fighting battle with opposing country so instead grandfather sent the letter to Ming city for the safety, Prince beiyue was angry when he came back to learn his sister was burn to death due to the carelessness of a maid and both his parent were dead, and his uncle the current emperor is now the Emperor,so the letter arrive at the exalt time they wanted to sent him out of the palace for rushing home and leaving the armies, so he was saved, Yue explained.

So you mean, he's actually supposed to be the Emperor but for no reason his uncle already ascended the throne, so it means his parent death and sister is not like they claim to be but have some unknown secret behind, Xiaoling said.

Yes,so Prince beiyue who no one knows his character before except grandfather and my dad who lost his life when protecting him in battle knows him well, he was cold to the core and label the most tyrant regent, he kills with slight move no one dares challenge him, not even the Emperor, he went to his mother country and fought two battle for them until he was 19 when the Emperor sent an emergency order to be back after much pleading because war was About to enter beiyue then and without his order no military forces can dispatched, he succeed in defeating 10 country as usual and even strengthen beiyue that's why beiyue is regarded the most largest country that contains riches and wealth with fame,he was named God of war and all the king of each defeated country regard him as the Emperor and fear his order, he even had his own seal, yue explained.

So you mean he's the Emperor himself, Xiaoling said.

Yes, yue said as the carriage stop.

Why can't he claim the throne then, Xiaoling said as they alight from the carriage.

I can't claim it because my father wrote that he should be the Emperor, the cold voice said from behind.

Oh no, Yue said.

Greeting your Majesty, Yue said in worry tone as he bow.

Greeting your Majesty, Xiaoling and ming said while ming kneel.

You may rise, next time Yue tell her to ask me directly unless I won't be merciful to look away, He said authoritative that Yue kneel .

I take your word your Majesty, he said I fear.

Let's go Shen, he said coldly.

Pls wait your Majesty, cousin pls excuse us and ming wait for me.

Official Shen pls, She ask politely but he didn't budge until he signal to him.

She kneel.

He look at her sincerity.
