"Your highness,you must seek Justice for me," Concubine Fu said tearfully running towards Jun's chamber
"Hold on ladies, his highness is busy," said eunuch Li who stopped them before going further
"Let them in," Jun said while the concubines rushed in
"Your highness, you must seek Justice for me," said concubine Wang with her hand placed on her cheek
"What exactly is wrong?" asked Jun who seem trying to figure out what was going on
"We don't know what we did to her lady, she slapped us," said concubine Fu as Jun widened his eyes in surprise
"She did what?" asked Jun still trying to figure out what he heard properly
"She slapped us, concubine Chun here is our witness," said concubine Wang
"Is that true?" asked Jun
"Yes your highness, her highness did slapped my fellow concubines," replied Concubine Chun
"But you must have done something to her," said Jun
"No your highness, she just hated us for no reason," replied Concubine Fu
"I'll look into it ladies, you can go now, I'm busy," said Jun
"But your highness.." said concubine Wang as Concubine Fu stopped her before saying more word
"Alright your highness, have a great day," said concubine Fu as she made her way out of Jun's chamber with concubine Wang and Chun following her
"Guess she's finally revealing the real her," said Jun smirking
"I don't think so, from what I heard from Yang, it's the concubine fault, they disrespected her highness," said eunuch Li as Jun rolled his eyes at him
"How's Mei Zhen?" asked Jun
"Oh, the second lady, she's fine your highness," replied eunuch Li
"And Haoyu?" asked Jun
"Young master Haoyu is not in the capital right now, I heard he's on a secret mission," replied Eunuch Li
"Ohh okay then," said Jun as he continued his work for the day
Now at Mei Zhen chamber, she could be seen getting ready for bed as her handmaid helped her in getting into the bath
"My lady, your skin is so white and flawless," said Xiu as she cleans Mei Zhen body
'My plan of eliminating Mei lien had failed this time, I'll just have to stay low for now' Mei Zhen thought
"My lady, what were you thinking about?" asked Xiu
"Nothing, hope the third prince takes his tea every night?" asked Mei Zhen
"Yes my lady, I serve him every night," replied Xiu
'Good, my bad days would soon be over with time' Mei lien thought
The next day, Mei lien can be seen in her room embroidering
"Why am I so good at this," asked Mei lien happily
"You've always been good at this my lady," replied Jing
'You're wrong young lady, the only thing I'm bad at is embroidery at the Zambe sect, I'm good at everything else except this' Mei lien thought as she smirk
Just then, princess Hua can be seen coming towards Mei lien chamber
"It's the princess my lady," Jing said as she helped Mei lien up
"Good afternoon your highness," said Mei lien
"Don't stand on greeting," replied Hua as she hugged Mei lien
"You're Mei lien, right? I've heard a lot about you," said Hua as they both settled down to take a seat
'Bad things I guess' Mei lien thought
"I'm Jun's sister, the only princess of the wei kingdom," said Hua
'I know right' Mei lien thought
"I know Jun can be a little bit aggressive and rude, but trust me he's a nice guy," said Hua
"Yes your highness," replied Mei lien
'I wonder why she's telling me all these' Mei lien thought
"How's Yuze," asked Hua
"You mean my brother? He's fine of course," said Mei lien
"Sister in-law, you can be free with me you know," said Hua as she holds Mei lien hands
"I missed him since you guys came to the palace last," said Hua sadly
'Came to the palace, when was that' Mei lien thought
"Can you ask him to visit you in the palace sister in-law," asked Hua
"Oh, yh of course, he doesn't have any work, so why not," replied Mei lien
"And when would that be sister in-law, I can't wait to see him," said Hua cutely
"I'll inform him your highness," said Mei lien
Just then, Luli rushed in happily
"Good afternoon princess, good afternoon my lady," said Yang
"Afternoon, what's wrong Luli?" asked Mei lien
"The crown princess had given birth," said Yang happily
"What, this is a happy news," exclaimed Mei lien happily as she rushed out to the crown prince chamber with the princess and her handmaids
At the crown prince chamber, mrs Yang can be seen holding the little prince while Mr Yang, old madam Yang, Yuxuan, Yuze, Mei Zhen and the third prince can be seen surrounded by her as they all touch the little prince happily
"He looks just like the crown prince,"said Mei lien happily as other's greeted the princess
"Good day your highness," said the happy family
"This is my brother first child, he's so handsome," said princess Hua as she touches him gently
"And good afternoon young master Yuze," said princess Hua blushing
"Good afternoon your highness," said Yuze
Just then, His imperial highness, her imperial highness and imperial concubine arrived
"Good afternoon your highness," chorused everyone as they all bowed down to greet the king
"Don't stand on ceremony," said the king happily as he carried the little prince from Mrs Yang
"His mouth is just like yours crown prince, and eyes is just like his mother," said the king happily
"Have you thought of a name?" asked the king to the crown prince and princess
"We want you to name him your highness," said Mei xing
"Oh, what should I name my little prince,Yichen! we should name him Yichen," said the king happily
"Yichen as in grand sun, moon or star," said the crown prince
"What a great name your highness," said the imperial queen as she touched the little prince cheeks from the king's hand
"Your name is Yichen little one, I hope you love it, so grow up fast," said the king
"Thank you father," said the crown prince happily as the king hands over the child to his mother
It was in the evening, everyone had departed except Mei lien and Mrs Yang who were still admiring the little prince
"The crown prince now has a son, his position is firm," said Mrs Yang
"Yes mother, I'm so happy," said Mei xing
"You have to be extremely careful now, it's not everyone that is happy about you giving birth to a prince, so you can't trust anyone," said Mrs Yang
"What do you mean by that mother? Who wouldn't be happy about my sister giving birth to a prince?" asked Mei lien confusedly
"I know what I'm talking about, you have to be careful this time, protect the prince and yourself, you can't trust anyone," said Mrs Yang
"Yes mother, I will," said Mei xing
'What does mother mean by that, who wouldn't be happy that my sister gave birth, is the palace really a dangerous place' Mei lien thought
