Chapter 3 - Preparing for the Celebrations

After One month was passed since Emperor Shou's son birth. On the day of his one month birth anniversary, it is a beautiful morning in the Iron Lotus Dynasty. The Iron Lotus Palace was being decorated by flowers and many lanterns. Today was the one month birth anniversary of Emperor Shou's child. Every worker who were decorating the palace were excited and were decorating the palace with happiness and joy. But someone on the balcony wasn't looking that happy. Xiú who was watching the palace workers decorating the palace from her balcony was not so happy about it. Her eyes were full of envy and jealousy. As she was watching everything Cheng also came out from his room and saw Xiú standing holding the railing tightly and looking at the palace workers with full of anger. Cheng approached his wife and asked.

"What are you looking at dear?" 

Xiú looked at him with envy in her eyes and replied.

"Just looking at these punny palace workers! You also take look.... Look! how happy and excited these workers are, they are and decorating this palace like it is their own child's One month birth anniversary, Huhh!!" Xiú taunted and Cheng wasn't that much interested in hearing his wife's tantrums.

"Xiú! It is been a month I thought you might have moved on from your hatered towards brother Shou's child. Listen to me my dear! Just move on from this. It is pointless now." Cheng tried to convince Xiú but Xiú was not ready leave her envy behind. She jerked off his hand from her shoulder and replied.

"NO! THERE IS NO WAY MY HATERED FOR THAT PATHETIC CHILD WILL VANISH! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!? AND WHY YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE ALL OF THIS HUH....? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THAT YOUR OWN SON MIGHT NOT BECOME THE EMPEROR, DO YOU...?" Xiú asked in rage while Jún from inside of the room hearing the conversation shouted from inside.

"I WILL BECOME THE EMPEROR IN THE FUTURE...." Jún said.

"SEE! SEE.....! YOUR OWN SON REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THE EMPEROR BUT YOU DON'T! AND WHY WILL YOU REALIZE. IF YOU MIGHT HAVE REALIZED IT BEFORE THEN WHO KNOWS YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE EMPEROR INSTEAD." Xiú taunted at Cheng's capabilities and this made Cheng much more angrier.

"SHUT UP.....! SHUT UP....! DON'T TELL ME ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THE EMPEROR I KNOW MORE THAN YOU. I TRIED MY BEST TO BECOME THE EMPEROR BUT MASTER ZI CHEN CHOSE SHOU AND I HAD TO ACCEPT MASTER ZI CHEN'S DECISION DESPITE WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT." Cheng replied.

"HAHAHA...! Master Zi Chen.....! That Master Zi Chen is the main culprit here. He is the one who always being biased towards your brother Shou since your childhood. I wished he could've died alongside Shou's child as well." Xiú wished the death of Master Zi Chen and from there Cheng realized that there is no point of arguing with Xiú because she is so much into her hatered and jealousy.

"Listen! Xiú I am not interested in getting into this stupid arguments with you in the morning. I am going to the royal room Shou has called me." Cheng said and left Xiú there all disappointed.

"YES! YES! GO YOU SHOU'S PET! GO! YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN." Xiú mocked Cheng in frustration but Cheng never listened instead he continued walking and completely ignored Xiú. While an envious Xiú continued watching those workers decorating.

Here in the throne room Head Hao was looking after the decorations and was instructing the workers as well. Few minutes after Emperor Shou arrived in his throne room alongside with his wife Hanmei with their child in her arms. 

"Emperor Shou! Good morning! You here, right now? You were supposed to come directly at the palace ground for your Son's one month birth anniversary. Is there any problem?" Head Hao asked.

"No... No.. there is no problem at all Head Hao. Actually me and my dear wife wanted to see how the preparations were going on for my child's one month birth anniversary. Is there any problem Head Hao?" Emperor Shou asked.

"No Emperor Shou! There is been no problem at all! Everything is going perfect." Head Hao assured Emperor Shou. Emperor Shou looked around his throne room and he was very impressed by the work his workers were putting.

"Absolutely! It looks like there are no problems. Just look how excited these workers! decorating the palace and preparing for my Child's one month birth anniversary. Just like it is there Child's ceremony." Emperor Shou said.

"Why would nobody be excited Emperor Shou? Afterall it is your Son's one month birth anniversary. The future Emperor of Iron Lotus Dynasty." Head Hao replied.

"Head Hao! My son will not become the Emperor future just because he is my son. His capabilities and knowledge in the future will decide whether he will become the Emperor or not and there will be only on person who will decide that Master Zi Chen." Emperor Shou said.

"I know that Emperor Shou! But I am sure that your son will truly become the Emperor just like you there will be no other like him." Head Hao said but Emperor didn't agree to his words.

"No Head Hao you are wrong! There is one." Emperor Shou said.

"Who...? Who Emperor Shou?" Head Hao asked curiously suddenly Cheng arrived in the throne room.

"Good Morning Emperor! Good morning Queen Hanmei. Good Morning Head Hao." Cheng greeted everyone.

"Good morning brother Cheng! Head Hao you were asking who will be that person who is capable on becoming the Emperor. It is my brother Cheng's son Jún he also worthy of becoming the Emperor future am I right brother Cheng?" Emperor Shou asked. Cheng was overwhelmed by his brother words and he was happy that his brother still consider his son to become a Emperor in future.

"Thank you so much brother Shou for considering that my son could also become an Emperor in future however I don't know what will happen in future." Cheng said.

Queen Hanmei was not feeling appropriate on this topic about who will become the Emperor in the future. All she wanted just to celebrate her son's one month birth anniversary, so she just tried to put an end to this conversation.

"Emperor Shou stop with this who become the Emperor in the future or not. Master Zi Chen will decide in the future who will become the Emperor. Today is my son's Red Egg ceremony let's celebrate that. Brother in law where is sister in law Xiú she didn't came with you? " Queen Hanmei asked about the whereabouts of Xiú.

"Yes brother Cheng where is sister in law Xiú?" Emperor Shou also asked. Cheng numb for few seconds because his wife was already upset how could tell them about Xiú.

"Emperor Shou! She is in the room getting ready I mean today is the big occasion after all but Emperor Shou you didn't tell me why you called me." Cheng lied.

"Brother Cheng I called you for the ceremony. We are about to start. I thought you will bring sister in law Xiú as well but you can bring sister in law Xiú and Jún as well." Emperor Shou asked Cheng to bring Xiú and his son Jún but Cheng had no idea how he could manage to bring his wife and his son to the ceremony.
