Capítulo 14: Chapter 12, 7 years later
Seasons changed year after year, children's aged as well as young one's, hairs are grey and skins are no longer smooth, the taste you always love is now sag and tasteless
the summer city has arrived after the season left, oh dear city of Zhu which is lively but scary, there are rules and no freedom at all, youngsters are panicked and show a sad face especially the young women who is not able to pick their spouse, only if you are too poor to be ugly in name is when you are free and not seen in the public eye
after the Zhu state changed the emperor, the rules are tight that might strangle people to death, people are not free to come and go and taxes are collected corruptly
Fei Xu sigh and look up the blue summer sky, the birds are singing and butterflies flap their wings, but it's not enough to make him happier as he put his mind to the people, Fei Xu's appearance is still the age of 25 years old man but originally he is already 42 years old
Lin ruled and his first born is as vicious as he is, the children's of his brother whom he killed are all gifts as a consort for the kings of faraway land the duke's are all busy in the state as a representatives and some are even assassinated for no reason
"Prince Fei Xu, we delivered silvers to the villages, at least one pouch per family and a half sack of rices, we did it at midnight secretly and silent!!" says Feng after he came in a long journey
"good, that's good Feng how about the girls who will be sold as a consort to the old ministers are they safe?"
"my prince, we only saved 8 of them and let them run free to the other side of the city, the rest- I'm sorry we failed!!!" Fei Xu clenched his fist, those young girls are being married to those corrupted old mens who does not do their job well
"imbecile!!!" he cursed
"Feng go back and rest to your room, all of you!!!" he commanded before he sat down upset, Feng is also matured now at the age of 35 but he is still unmarried and handsome with a good build body
"when will this end!!!" he cried
as Fei Xu drank his tea with red eyes
"Diánxià have some tea?" Liang came and poured him another cup, the old woman knows what he is going through as of now that things are complicated
The eunuch at the castle came and asked that his brother summoned him at the palace, Fei Xu did not hesitate to go and prepared himself to meet Lin
inside the throne room aligned the ministers, fat or lazy looking ministers, only some are serious and noble looking
Lin gestured all around elegantly gesturing his works on the table examining his works
"how is there so many paperworks is all my ministers lazy!!!" he roared and looked at the ministers
"Diánxià there are so many people complaining about tax wage and its kinda disturbing how its too high for the poor- and there is not much food for them, some are even dying from hunger my king" says a minister showing concern in his face
"how is that possible, don't be stupid- I gave 4 boxes of gold to our Finance minister- Chi Mingxia what is the meaning of this!!!" Lin looked at the fat minister and glared at him
"ah, Diánxià I did divide all the gold and bought sacks of rice grains to poor-"
"nonsense- the people complained to me they received nothing how is that possible!!" another minister opposed, it looks like they are all at war about peoples food and wages of taxes
Lin had a hot head til Fei Xu came inside, everyone was quite when he walked towards his brother, though his eyes are not what they expect, dull tiger eyes that bites everyone
"oh brother!!!" Lin said
"you called?"
"yes I did?" he grinned and went down to meet Fei Xu, they look like father and son not because of the age gap but because Fei Xu does not age because of his immortal curse
"what for!" he said coldly
"brother, I had the most outstanding idea of all, how about summoning your son to the kingdom!!" Fei Xu made a face and frowned examining Lin if he is mocking him
"why?" Fei Xu asked
"Ridiculous your majesty, you can't let the Prince of Catastrophe come to kill us all do you!!" one minister opposed
"but I heard the prince is weak and bald!!"
"silence you all no good politicians this is my decision!!!" Lin grinned and walked to the throne
"I heard your son no longer has golden eyes and live at the temple like a monk- don't he have bald hair and ugly skin!!!" Lin mocked, Fei Xu kept quite for he knew his son does not look like any of their imagination
everyone knew Fei Xu the Father of Catastrophe has a son, and what the ministers and Lin said to the people was he is purified and lived as a skinny monk, this made him a laughing stock to everybody and now Lin wants to summon Jin out of nowhere won't that be a good idea? Fei Xu smiled
"Second prince you never saw your child, are you ashamed to hear about your most dangerous child as someone ugly and bald!!!" the ministers behind laughed with Lin
"alright-" Xu spoke and looked around
"I wouldn't mind meeting my son!!!" he said with a mocking look in his face
Fei Xu is a powerful prince of Zhu who controls the military class and has good relationship with the generals, this is what the ministers and emperor feared so they will always find ways to put him down
as for Lin he is still in control of the twins who he summoned, those two are the one's responsible for the late emperor's death since they poisoned his food with their poisonous saliva, they also commanded Lin to tighten the state rules
"Hǎo (good) that's a nice dicision brother- don't worry I asked Ju state's most beautiful princess to be your son's wife in exchange for peace isn't that fantastic brother!!!" Fei Xu's eyes widened, he looked at Lin with disgust, how imbecile is what he kept in his mind, he even asked Ju state to marry their daughter to his son, he felt so aggrieved and wanna strangle Lin, Fei Jin is 22 but Jin is not exposed to human lives of marriage and Ju state is also one of the most powerful kingdom of all time
"Diánxià, don't treat their daughter like that Jin is-"
"what about it Xu gēgē, if your child is ugly at least he has a beautiful wife!!!" Fei Lin laughed and tapped Fei Xu in the shoulder
"don't worry brother, I sent them his portrait, when I sent a painter to the temple, after a weak they will be married and we'll send the bride to the temple to convince him to come!!!" the ministers are secretly laughing at the state that they really looked down on the Catastrophe father and son who everyone feared
"Xièxiè Diánxià!!!" Fei Xu bowed with tiger eyes not looking away from him, he stormed out with a solemn mixed emotion
Meanwhile at the Ju state fairy empire its absolutely lovely and peaceful, their systems and rules are free and lively opposite to Zhu state
Yunxi is now young and beautiful adored by many men that even the other prince in another country courts her to be their wife but she rejects all of them, Yunxi look so elegant and lovely as if the heavens showered her with grace and beauty, her hair is long and straight designed with the most valuable gold and jade crown, her wings stayed as pretty as her and everyday she practice singing to make a healing wave for her people who is sick, whoever hear her melody will make their wounds heal faster, but does not mean she is powerful to do those healing waves since she can also be easily drained
"Princess?" Yuan run up to her, Yunxi was dancing with her fan gracefully twirling here and there
"princess may I interrupt!!!" Yuan heaved a sigh
"what is it come and dance with me!!!" Yunxi said
"ayya Gōngzhǔ- your father summoned you to the throne room, he said it is something important!!!" Yuan complained
"Shènme, is it another prince asking for marriage-" Yunxi made a face and stomped her feet!!
"not really, more like a state affairs between Zhu state and Ju-" Yunxi stopped, had a wide eyes and looked at Yuan with a threatening look
"don't tell me this is some kind of arrange marriage!!!" Yunxi glared
"more like it princess!!!" Yuan was about to cry
Yunxi ran towards the throne room with a furious face almost looking like a tiger, her bangs are dancing making her even more irritated, together with Yuan they flew towards the floating throne room and witnessed everyone there, especially her sibling
"Second princess?"
"oh, there you are daughter come let us all sit at the living room and settle this!!" the emperor walked away, Xiuming, Yunxi and the other consorts tagged along with a serious face
"father what is it that we are gonna talk about?" asked Xiuming, the first prince look fabulous in white just like Yunxi and the others, he is more manly and handsome now and most beautiful womans are the one courting him but he is not serious about everything but millitary, his father arranged him to the most beautiful fairy at Ju but Xiuming ended up being cold and never went home so they divorce after a month, thankfully the woman was still considered noble because the emperor said so, after all its the prince's fault why the dutches divorce him
the family sat down for an afternoon snack, servants came with the most delicious food they have in the kingdom to put a smile on the royal's faces
"Father why are we all here" asked Shao Wen, the emperor sigh and released some stress in his head
"Xuming, Jia and all of you? I don't know what to do- this meeting is not some kind of afternoon snack but I'm here to discuss to you about Zhu state that wants to dictate war!!!"
"Shènme- that war headed state, didn't they just had peace in their country!!!" Xiuming roared
"why is Zhu state so arrogant we didn't do anything!!!" Yunxi frowned
"they are probably bored and want someone to play anyway?"
"there is a condition? if we want peace then they want one of my daughter to marry a deceased prince!!!" Emperor Bai Xia frowned on them and looked at his two daughters
"it'd eighter one of you?" says the emperor
"what!!!" the two said in chorus with a roaring face
"huh- dad we cant let them take any of my siblings!!!" Xiuming roared
"Better to have war than that!!!" Jia said and ate some cake
"Yunxi, Shao Wen you two decide!!!" says the emperor
"Father, we can't go at that hell state, I even heard they are keeping a catastrophe Prince inside the castle-" Shao Wen demanded
"yes Diánxià, I heard that prince is a scary looking monster with fangs and eat people-"
"silence- those are just rumors, the prince of Catastrophe do exist in this world but the late emperor sent him to a temple where he is purified and lived as a monk with a deceased skin!!!" the emperor explained, he threw a portrait of the prince in the open table there they saw a name
"Prince Fei Jin" they all spoke in chorus and rolled the painting open
The painting was an eyesore to their eyes, a young monk with a dotted skin and really skinny and bald head, his eyes are round and brown with a bushy brow, he didn't have the looks and is positioned in prayer
"hahaha- is that the prince of Catastrophe- he's not anything scary!!!" says Jia
"shut up Jia- what I heard about that prince is he has a golden eyes?" emperor Bai Xia got up and made a face
"that no good Zhu state is insulting the royal family!!!" he grinned an anger
"or perhaps they just want us to heal the deceased prince!" says the empress
"if that is the case then why don't Yunxi go, she has the most powerful healing energy-" princess Shao Wen rolled her eyes on her
it's true that she is more powerful not to mention she is also one of the most beautiful woman in the country who everyone courts
"sister Yunxi, it's time you get married, you'll be 20 soon!!!" says Shao Wen
"that's right sister, you don't want war right!" the mother consort said with a mocking face
"how about you, you are 21 but you are not married-"
"you-"
"both of you shush, you two have to think about it this is between countries and war-" Eunuch Li Lu glared at them both, no matter what he has the power to command the king's children since he is mostly their nearby uncle, he's more than just a Eunuch
"Yunxi, Shao Wen, think about the marriage if none of you agreed I'm afraid this is war!!" the emperor frowned and went to the throne room
it's not like he is afraid but he likes peace, one thing he cannot decide since every children is precious to emperor Bai Xia
