Birthday celebrations

Yizhen went inside to speak with the chef. Yuxuan and ruan sat at the table beside them. Yizhen went to the kitchen and called the head chef. He came out and said, " Yes...young master."

She informed the head chef that she will double today's wages for them. Yizhen ordered the food and came out. Yizhen came and sat at the table and told to Yan, Big brother do you want to hear a joke. Yan said, "yes"

Yizhen smiled and said, "when we stayed in Luoyang. Brother had prepared me a dish called ....stir burnt dumplings. I have asked him if he knew how to cook. He said, "yes" However, I never expected the perfect general would be a zero at cooking.

Yan laughed. Yichang held her ear and said, "You always love to tease me." Yichang releases her ear seeing that server bought the dishes. Then the dishes are served on the table.

She explained each dish with its names and how to taste them like fries goes well with tomato sauce. Even the side table followed her instructions.

Supervisor came and asked her, "master, do you want anything." She said, "send us coke after we have finished."As yuxuan and Ruan were served with coke which they did not order. Server said it is our master's birthday, so he told us to give a complimentary gift to all our customers.

Yichang said, "Yan and you go home. We will go outside in the evening. We both are giving you a surprise." Then they left.

Ruan asked yuxuan, "Before you entered the inn. Why did you tell me not to talk? Are you following them?" Yichang said, "I will tell you when we leave."

Yuxuan went to an alley where no one is there. Yuxuan whistled and a secret guard came out. Yuxuan said to him, "Find out from our spies whose was born today from royal family and noble families in northern qi kingdom."

Ruan asked, "Royal brother, do you like boys?" He moved a bit back from him. Yuxuan hit him on his head, "Sometimes I feel like your brain doesn't work at all. See, I have hit a jackpot by coming here."

Yuxuan said, "I have sent my guard to follow him and I didn't get any information from northern qi with his name. So, he is hiding his background intentionally."

He said, "Now I know when he was born. So, just by this if I get his real name then I can gather his information. Ruan think when will you hide your background and change your name."

Ruan said, "Either they are from royal family or if anyone is trying to kill them or you plan to kill others." Yuxuan said, "You are right. Just wait a day I will unfold his cover."

Yuxuan followed them and he met jinping. Jinping said, "Master, there are five members in the house." He said, one housekeeper and a maid, the person who is tall and hefty is general yichang, and the other lean person is Yan. This young master calls both as brother.

At evening time, yichang and Yan took her to the cliff and each one of them took one lantern, lit it, made a wish, and released it. Yizhen wished we three of them should never be separated and be happy.

Where ever my parents may be and their soul should rest in peace. When she saw there are many lanterns flowing from her back. She saw yan and yichang lit remaining lanterns. With almost fifty lanterns floating in the sky. Sky looked so beautiful as if these lanterns are heading towards clouds. When she was watching the sky, she plucked a peach branch.

She plucked one by one petal from the branch she threw them on the ground. Yuxuan saw her and he recollected the young miss whom he has seen at this place.

"It's her. However, I still need to confirm before approaching her. But why did she dress herself in male attire." His eyes were shining like bright stars.

Then yizhen took them to her mother's graveyard. They prayed to her. Then they entered into lily courtyard to enter into Yi mansion through underground room. Yuxuan saw there are mechanisms as he observed when she placed the token.

Therefore, he climbed on the roof and saw the house was empty. However, there is a secret room here. He reached near to their house and waited on the bamboo trees. He has good martial arts, so he is standing on the peak of bamboo trees. He saw them as they came out from a small room in the backyard.

He moved on to other trees to see where she was heading. After a few minutes, she came out, jumped on to bamboo courtyard roof, and sat there by watching moon.

Yichang saw her, took Yan, and jumped on to roof from behind her. They scared her. She shouted "Ahhhh" Yizhen said, "You both scared me to death now."

Yichang smiled and rubs her head and sat beside her and said, "Now it's our turn to tease you." They lay down on the roof. They both slept yizhen took her sword and practiced her sword moves in the open courtyard. Later she woke them up and asked them to sleep inside their courtyards.

When she went inside, her courtyard and slept, yuxuan entered her room and covered her face with a cloth without touching her. Therefore, he got shocked by seeing her.

He said, "It's her. So, your name is yizhen." He thought you have been beside me and I have turned the whole city upside down searching for you. He smelled the lily fragrance coming from her body. He slowly moved her hair back of her ear. Then he left.

"My heart only beats for you, until you exist in this world."

He went and slept on a branch. He took out the bead and cloth given by yizhen. He smiled by seeing it. He went back to his palace.

Next day, he received the report there is only one person and her name is Chun ling. She is a princess of northern qi kingdom. She had escaped from the palace few months ago. He opened a scroll and saw her picture.

Ruan entered and said, "Royal brother, you look so happy." Yuxuan said, "Finally, I have found her." Ruan said, "I just left yesterday afternoon, I think I have missed a lot of exciting things. Tell me what had happened?"

He showed him a scroll and the report and he told him what had happened yesterday. Ruan asked, "Brother, you are so daring you have entered her room before your marriage."

Yuxuan knitted his brows and hit his head and said, "This morning I have received the report. To confirm her face I have to cover her face as veil covers. Therefore, I have to enter her room while she was sleeping." Ruan asked him, "So, how are you going to pursue her."

Yuxuan said, "This time I may fail this task. Ruan you need to help me. You know she is the first girl I am interested. You have seen her mischievous nature and I saw her brother's giving her lots of love and care. When I met her for the first time, she handed me a cloth and left. I think I need to face a lot of problems to make her fall in love with me."

Ruan said, "Royal brother don't worry. First, track her interests and details about her. Then it will be easy for you to pursue her."

A pigeon came and sat in front of Yichang. He took a small piece of paper and read it. He slammed the book, which he was reading on the table. He left to speak with Yizhen.

Yichang entered peach courtyard and said, "I have found out the truth about why empress tried to kill you?" Yizhen said, "Oh...then tell me brother"

When your mother entered Qi kingdom after her marriage she is bestowed as an empress. Your father also cared about her a lot. He has taken interest in her.

Concubine gao shuang was jealous and hired a person to spread a false news in the palace that empress xiaoying has an illegal relationship. So, the emperor detained your mother as concubine and has sent your mother to cold palace.

Then concubine gao shuang was bestowed as empress. Still, the emperor used to take care of you. Later empress bribed the astrologer from the palace court saying that," To tell him that emperor should not meet princess. As princess star signs are not that good. The person's around her will face bad luck or death."

Therefore, your father ordered that none of them should meet you. Then empress took a chance and poisoned your mother and you. When my aunt's health deteriorated, emperor allowed her to stay with you.

Due to a miracle, you have survived from poison. Yizhen thought it's not a miracle brother.Your sister Chun ling have passed away.

"I will make her feel the pain of the poison what i and my mother faced." She gritted her teeth.

No wonder previous Chun ling does not know what all happened to her. Even my mother xiaoying is a kind person. If she was a scheming person, she would have guessed it.

What is the problem with woman in this era? They can live happily right. Why to plan these vicious schemes and hurt each other. I want to lead a simple and happy life.

However, I will not sit idle and stick upon my ideology if someone plans against me. I will pay them with eye for eye.

Later she called yan, "Big brother, do you know where I can find poison which is not easily detectable." Yan replied "In black beast auction hall."Yizhen asked, "where is it?" Yan replied, "In Nanhai."

Yizhen headed to the cliff to practice archery with two arrows at a time. Suddenly a figure appeared from behind her, held her hand, and released the arrows both the arrows hit bulls eye.

She turned her face to see who he is. Then she thought this young master is the person who fought with assassins.

On that day, I did not observe him properly he is 181 cms tall. He has a glistening skin, which looks like a jade and with a strong jaw, which stands out. Due to his strong face features he looks has masculine look.

He wore a black robe made up of silk with a narrow sleeves and black wrist cuffs extended until middle finger. His hair has a small partition made above his right eyebrow and a few strands of hair were left to both sides of his body.

He tied few strands of hair with a silver hairpin and left the remaining hair loose. His belt was a leather belt holding a sword. He has a silver long cartilage helix wrap ear cuff on one of his ear.

He released his hands and asked her, "What is your name?" Yizhen replied to him," Young master, I am yizhen." Yuxuan said to her, "you can call me yuxuan. Nice to meet you. Thank you for helping me last time."

He told her few tips, how to strike it. Then she practiced it according to his directions. She is much better than before.

Yuxuan asked her, "Do you want to practice sword moves with me." Yizhen said, "Yes." She took her dagger and he took his sword.

Yuxuan said, "Try to fight with my sword, and I will fight with your dagger. So that you will get habituated with other swords too." They almost fought for one hour. Yizhen felt exhausted and climbed the tree to sit.

Yizhen felt he is not here to harm her and he looks like he is from a noble family. She thought I have to practice more as I am lurking around danger.

Yizhen asked him, "Yuxuan can you practice with me for the next ten days."He smiled not revealing the happiness to her. He said, "Yes, even I need a partner to practice." Yizhen said to him and left, "ok meet me here tomorrow."

Peace palace:

Jinping reported, "How empress gao shuang framed Xiaoying and Yizhen. Master, princess is planning to go to black beast auction hall."

Yuxuan asked him," Did you find out why she is going there?"He replied, "To purchase a poison and to poison empress gao shuang."

Yuxuan thought so my princess is planning to take her revenge. She is so strong and good at all kinds of work.

Yuxuan said, "Jinping from today onwards you need to protect her secretly and send me information through carrier pigeon. As, she entered into the city she will be in danger."Jinping nodded his head and left.

Yizhen told Yan to take care of hotel. Yichang left to the border to take care of some issues. Yichang gave her few signal illuminations and told her to light it when she is in danger, we will come to your rescue. Next day afternoon she prepared some food to have it after practice.

She went and started her archery practice. When yuxuan came, they started their sword practice. After practice yizhen said, "shall we have food?"

He held her hand and used his martial arts. Where he is taking me. She has a surprised expression on her face. There is a cave above seven or eight feet above the ground in the mountain.

Yuxuan removed the branches present at the entrance of the cave and they went inside. She saw it is a small cave, which can accommodate for ten people.

Yizhen asked him, "How do you know there is a cave here" Yuxuan said, "I will come here daily to take a rest for some time." Yizhen removed the box and said to him, "eat it " He took his chopsticks and tasted it. Yuxuan said, "These dishes are very delicious."

Yizhen said to him, "Of course it will be because I have prepared them." Yuxuan said with a smirk, "Your future wife will be lucky to taste such a tasty food." Yizhen choked her food and started coughing.

Yuxuan smiled and pour water in a cup and gave it to her after finishing the food she left. She thought she needed to purchase a few items for creating a treasure box.

She went to a shop and selected all the items. When she came out, she saw two kids who were in rags and looked so weak as if they are starving.
