"You've been home for months now but you've refused to tell me about what happened in Caiwong. Why did your teacher come to see father? It's so strange to me that he could feel so strongly about someone he found out to teach you. I heard from a maid that father slapped him harshly before telling him to never return to Jungpi. I've heard rumors about what you told mother to avoid getting punished, but I would rather hear it from you then believe what others have told me to sway me in one direction or another."
Yan Sha set her cup of wine down against the stone table as she looked out at the beautiful view of the Jungpi imperial gardens from Yan Ming's pavilian. Everything about this side of the palace was illustrious in the extreme. At times, Yan Sha had to pinch herself that she hadn't walked into the empress's palace in Caiwong's forbidden city. Such a dream-like state made one forget about the worldly things that were biting at her

"Wow, I can't believe that we've actually done this. There is not pile of books waiting for me in the afternoon to pour over. I just get to enjoy really beautiful food." Yan Ming put her hands in the air as she twirled around. The simple clothing she wore were matched with simple silver bead accessories in a braid pattern which were common in country folks around Jungpi.Yan Sha was the only person who today had helped her dress. It was a funny exercise as Yan Ming was fussy that she could not bring her own maids with her. The queen was not happy about such an excursion after Yan Sha's experience in Caiwong, but the addition of her own personal shadows seemed to be enough for Langhua to relent in pleasing her two daughters.There was an entire regiment of soldiers from Jungpi who guarded Yan as this state was actually the closest ally to Jungpi. Yan Sha had chosen the friendliest place for the duo to go. There was no dang

Yan Sha bolted awake as she could feel a splitting headache. Yan Ming was wrapped around her and in this moment it was fragile as her sister has such a peaceful expression on her face that Yan Sha couldn't bare to wake her up. She put on her night clothing to go to outside for a walk.But as she walked outside she could see that there was a fury of activity in the manor. She found one of the Jungpi shadows soldiers and ordered him to stand guard by the bed. The soldier bowed to her and moved quickly to the assigned position with his subordinates. It was satisfying to have people obey her without question.She wondered what else she could make the soldiers do without Zaiyuan here to put in his imput. To have such a responsibility on her shoulders now felt strange as the family had always guarded against her. The chains that she had felt around her hands binding her to the Jungpi she was supposed to call home, here in a dif

The shriek ran through the palace as Ning Zhuo walked anxiously from one side of the room to the other. It positively infuriated him that they wouldn't let him inside of the birthing room. He had fought in wars all high life, his training in the martial way was more than enough to prepare him for the horrors of birth.In the side corridor the preparations had already been made for him to leave. The seige in Yan had already reached a critical point. Ning Ren had been using up valuable resources and allocating them haphazardly such that it was obvious that the young prince was fighting a losing battle. As someone was persevering again and again against such insurmountable odds, it was inevitable that the talk began that the stick puppet of Caiwong, Yan, was not as easy to blow over as a leaf anymore.The lion of Jungpi, whispered the common folk. Ning Zhuo had heard his petty little maids arguing about it as they cleaned th

Yan Ming watched as Yan Sha crumpled to the floor in front of her. There was a long trail of blood behind her which trailed into the city. She stood in awe as her sister has staunched her own wound with a torn piece of cloth."Can one of the servants call the imperial physician forwards? We need to have the physician here such that my sister is still here to continue to the battle with our enemy. She cannot rest and such a wound should not impede her."Yan Sha gave a wary look to her sister as she started to disrobe. The physician did come after some time and treat the cut with more cloth and a look or irritation as he looked from sister to sister with exasperation. Yan Ming was extremely enthusiastic to make sure that the bandages were bound with precision. With her own hands, she put the salve and would treat the wound at night until her sister was free of scarring."See now you are still as beautiful as me

Ning Ren looked up at the burning sun and could feel the sweat drip down his face. All around him the soldiers moaned as they started to gather up their armors and accessories for the rowdy day ahead. It had been extremely miserable here as the months had waned on. There was little forgiveness as the area between Yan and Caiwong was an absolute wasteland. It was not interesting in the least as the soldiers had always struggled for water and food. The woman here too were not that accomodating of outsiders so the fights in the camp was much higher than usual for a military enclosrue.He looked into the swirling sands and was surprised to see that the soldiers were marching into the dust storm."Where are you idiots going? The battle is in the opposite direction! If you head that way you will starve and there will be nothing for you to receive for the king. Aren't you here for the sacs of grain and gold which have been promi

Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed as he looked at Yan Sha. His fingers moved over to her lips as he pulled them closer. She pushed him away. "Crown prince please do not forget your position and your responsibilities." "I have renounced my title and--" "You are the only heir who is level-headed and strong and sure. Even if you have made such statements, I know the emporer as I grew up hearing stories of his deeds from my father and I was there too at his knee before I became what I am. I know those people. There is the true affections of a father for a son, you cannot say no." "I cannot say yes when you are haunting my mind." Yan Sha sighed. "You have had four more women in the time that we met. These infatuations are good for no one. You should go back to the palace and re-marry. Alliances are a necessity. Heirs to fight and become bright talents is also a part of our history and traditi

Langhua closed her eyes as Yan Sha opened her robe to join her mother in the bath. Her eyes opened slowly as Yan Sha put her head on her chest and started to trace the scar on her chest. "So the exhaulted daughter returns." Yan Sha started as Langhua's eyes were a milky color. Langhua had obviously felt her discomfort as she shirted positions "It's inevitable that a flower loses his bloom. It's starting for me that my time is coming to a close." "If this was happening, why didn't you tell me? I would have come racing back and--" "You have been a good daughter even if you are not my blood. The feeling is familiar which is so odd that I can feel like this. My eyes will be clouded for a month more. As we in our clan bathe in milk and pearl, this luster can be a bit too much for the eyes. It brightens the skin, but it can be more for our internal organs as well which prolongs life but can strip t

Yan Sha cursed low as she could hear Zaiyuan and Langhua fighting. Yan Ming had instinctlvely crept into her bed as they could both feel the tension in the house. The servants were much fewer in this time as it could be easiest to control the flow of information if there were few who could leak it. All of this, Yan Sha could understand and forgive.Yan Ming was sound asleep beside her, holding onto her sister's body like she was wrapped around a vice. Yan Sha was comforted and even though she was sitting up and listening to the argument, she did not try to extricate hersef from the hands. She was past knowing that she could leave a situation and not have people need or want her back.It was inevitable that she knew that she could not sit by as others tried to map out her future for her. She pushed Yan Ming's arm carefully around a pillow and got up slowly. It was a telling sign that Yan Ming was not roused by this gesture as sh
