PHOENIX QUEEN
'A tragic story indeed. Minister Xiang does the future Queen, need to have phoenix blood?
'Yes your Majesty, only the person with this blood is allowed to be Queen and the Prince bride.
She id destined to save and protect the Prince.
"Okay. What about love?
'Your Majesty, this is the hardest test of all. The Prince will have to figure this one out, my King.
There was no further instruction about the test. All the gods said that this test will either bring him a blessing or a curse.
"This is a blind test I guess?
'Yes, Your Majesty, if the Prince never forgets to listen to the gods warning then he will be fine. But if he does then there will be great consequences.
'Ah... at least there is a solution to this problem. Is there a time frame in which this test will start?
'Replying to his Majesty, the test has already started. The will of the gods wait for no man my King.
"...All right, stop with the parable, tell me about my future daughter-in-law, what to expect from her, does she possess the same ability as her ancestor?
You know Jia will question you about her right. I'm worried this is going to stress her out, once she knows about this prophecy and phoenix's blood, She will be so worried. And She will start preparing for her future daughter-in-law, with the hope of everything should be perfect.
'Your Majesty, I have looked into the future Queen, and although her future is a bit complicated She is no danger to the Prince.
She will be the best protector for the Prince.
My King her Phoenix blood compliment with the Prince dragon blood. She will help bring out the power and ability of the prince, and when that happens the Prince will be the most powerful King ever.
'What about her background, is She going to be someone we know? I hope She is not a daughter from those cunning Ministers.
Your Majesty as the saying goes, a tree can grow ten thousand feet tall but its leaves will always fall back to their roots.
"Ah, so it's someone we know, at least that a relief.
Minister Xiang knew he cants give more information about the future Queen to prevent war from breaking out. For now, he will keep that info.
'Your Ma...
There was a knock on the door as Minister Xiang wants to continue.
'Excuse me, my King the Ministers are waiting, please.
'The King should know that those cunning Ministers will follow him. Will they miss the chance to look for trouble. He was getting impatient with them, but since he now has an heir then he will not hold back from punishing them. Maybe it time to start giving the younger generation a chance. He has to pave a smooth way for his son. He sighs... Are they all here?
Yes, My King, they have been here since we've arrived Minister Liu stop them to see you and Prince but they...
'Speak...
They were grumbling and getting impatient, they were impatient and wanted to enter the Queen's room without permission. They said that they need to see the prince, to know-how the calamity will be averted.
"How dare they...
'Your Majesty please calm down. Why don't we tell them about the test?
"Go on and tell them but remember to leave out the phoenix blood, we don't another blood bath and history to repeat.
'My King, how should I tell them without mentioning the phoenix blood?
"The King looks at him and wonders how can he be stupid sometimes. Minister Xiang don't you know how to make up a story. Forget it, just tell them that the Prince has a destined bride that will help him avert this calamity, and only she, he will marry.
'I understand Your Majesty, killing two birds with one stone.
"Good now you get it, now go and tell them, and ask them to come with my son and remember no Phoenix Queen.
'Yes, Your Majesty.
