episode 1

chapter 1

It was an auspicious day for the palace as

one of the Imperial Noble Consorts have

given birth to a prince.

It was a starry night sky that the Emperor

and Empress was heading to the consort's

palace when suddenly the sky turned

dark and the stars disappeared, thunder

crashed. And after an envoy of fiery

chariots descended from the sky. The head

of the chariot was a beautiful woman, a

beauty that no human soul has ever seen.

Her expression was as gentle as the sea

breeze. Her clothes and jewelry were of

elaborate design. It was clear that the

Heavenly Mother herself descended from

the Great Heaven.

But one thing that peeked the curious of

the Emperor and the Empress was she was

holding a small bundle of golden fabric in

her arms.

When the chariots landed in front of them,

the surrounding was enveloped in a thick

fog except for the place where they were

standing.

The humans quickly kowtowed in front of

the Heavenly Mother.

"We pay respect to the Heavenly Mother"

the Emperor and Empress said.

"Rise, my children. I descended from the

heaven to grant your empire a beautiful

blessing that the Heavenly Emperor himself

gave the woman said as she showed the

sleeping beauty in her arms.

"'She is the daughter of the heavens. She

was born from the ashes of a phoenix and

from the blood of the Heavenly Emperor.

She will one day bring greatness to your

country.So, raise her well,' the woman

added as she handed the baby to the kind

Empress.

"We thank you for your generosity, heavenly

mother" the Empress bowed as she

received the small bundle of blessing.

"My time with the mortals is almost done.

T bid you farewell," the woman said as

she boarded her chariot together with her

angelic guards.

"We bid farewell to heavenly mother" the

Emperor and the Empress.

When they peeked inside the small bundle

of fabric, a beautiful, red-haired princess

was sleeping peacefully. Her skin was as

white as the snow.

The Empress and the Emperor were

overjoyed as they were personally blessed

by the heavenly mother, however, the

Empress realized that raising the holy child inside the palace was very dangerous.

Many would plot against the child or maybe

even kill her.

She took a glance at her husband that was

also thinking the same thing.

"We will need to discuss this in a closed

room" he said as head for the Empress's

palace.

"Tell Imperial Noble Consort Ruan that I

have visited first the sick Empress. I will

visit her and the prince tomorrow morning,"

he ordered to his eunuch on which carried it

out quickly.

"What should we name her?" she asked as

she gently danced the baby.

"Since the heavenly mother has delivered

her to us in the light of the moon, we will

name her Yueliang" he said as he gently

stroked the baby's head.

"I know someone who can take care of her.

He is one of your trusted generals, General

Wen she said. " He only has a son and is

stationed at the Liang Province. He could

take care of her. And since he is one of the

Noble clans, this child will have a chance to

marry one of the prince."

"Yes, that would be it. Xie Bai! Prepare a

small carriage, you will deliver Yueliang to

her new parents tonight. Make sure no one

sees you," the Emperor ordered his trusted

guard as he wrote a short letter, informing

the general of his plan and what happened.

"Right away, my Lord the servant said as

he went out to prepare what the Emperor

has said.

"Court Lady Lan, escort Xie Bai to the Liang

Province. Both of you will travel without

stopping. You will take care of the child

until you arrive. Protect her at all costs"

the Empress said as she wrapped a golden

blanket around the baby to keep her warm

throughout the rough journey.

She gave her the jade phoenix pendant to

the baby.

After a few more goodbyes from the

Emperor and Empress, the 2 servants

quickly left in hurry.

After a night of travelling, Xie Bai and Lady

Lan arrived at the General Wen's house in

which they were welcomed warmly.

"My Lord, the Emperor has something for

you' Xie Bai said as he presented him the

letter.

"Is that the child?" the General asked,

pertaining to the crying baby that the court

lady was carrying.

"Yes, my Lord" Xie Bai said as he signalled

for the court lady to give it to the General's

wife.

Wen Ping gasped at the sight of the

beautiful baby. When the court lady handed

it to her, the baby automatically stopped

crying.

"It seems that this holy child likes my wife,"

the general laughed. "Tell the Emperor and

the Empress not to worry about her, we will take care of her like she is our own."

"Then, we will take our leave, my Lord. A lot

of people would be suspicious of both of

us are gone for too long" Xie Bai said as he

bowed to the general.

"Alright, take care on your journey' the

general said as he looked at the child who

was already cooing in his wife's arms.
