It was the 7th year of Emperor Yu Han's reign.
The youngest of the six princes and one of the only two surviving members of the Royal Family. Yu Han was a great and capable ruler.
Under his rule the kingdom was prosperous and peaceful.
The Princes Rebellion that took place eight years ago was an event in the history that won't be forgotten for ages.
Yu Ming, his elder brother and one of the other surviving Royal Prince was the the original Crown Prince but having no interest and capabilities to rule an empire he passed down the throne to the much capable and clever younger brother,Yu Han.

It's the early Autumn the leaves were starting to fall and the weather was getting colder.
Shen Zheqiang had been living a happy life with Zhu Xiaolan and Su Yue in Blue Clouds Town.
Often times Lu Cong Qing would come visit them.
He had also made friends with an elderly woman and her grandson.

At the same time in the capital, the Emperor and his imperial brother were having a good time in the Sunshine Pavilion.
Yu Ming was three years older than Yu Han.
After the death of their Imperial father, Yu Ming was next in the line of succession but he gave his throne to his younger brother Yu Han who was more wiser and capable ruler than him.
And looking back at it he knows he had made the right decision.

"Brother the empire is peaceful and prosperous right now. So I have decided to go to the North before the official inspection."

"You want to go alone."

"I'll go with Xue Cheng ."


"Okay,I'll take care of things here."

The Emperor and Xue Cheng arrived at Blue Clouds after eight days of their journey.
The town was their first destination among others. Two months later the Emperor would come back here again as part of his inspection. Right now they were disguising themselves as scholars from the capital they rested at the town's most popular and luxurious inn.
It was not as luxurious as the inns in the capital but it was still comfortable.

______________________

In a blink of an eye six days had passed since they had arrived in the town.
Yu Han and his imperial guard Xue Cheng were casually spending their days in idleness.
Like any other day, in the morning the Emperor alongwith his Imperial guard Xue Cheng were casually strolling around the town.
The streets were filled with shops selling different varieties of stuffs, clothing , food, accessories etc and the townfolks were the most busy during the day.

While walking down the street Yu Han line of sight fell on a beauty standing not very far in the busy street, smiling and lovingly gazing at a young boy of around eight.
He was awestruck. His heart was beating wildly and rapidly.
Never had he ever felt this way before.
It is safe to say that the young beauty had stole the stone heart of the great Emperor of Qin Empire with just one look.

The beauty was wearing a white robe like a fairy who had decended from the heavens. Gazing intensely at the beauty the Emperor saw a red mark on the beauty's wrist.
It's no doubt the beauty was a ger.
A green jade pendant was hanging around the beauty's belt. Thin waist and long legs one could say the ger had a perfect shapely figure.
The beauty's skin was as fair as a snow.
What attracted the Emperor was the beauty's red and thin lips which have a seductive aura as if it's daring a man to desire them .
Such an elegant and angelic beauty bewitching any person that caught the sight of him.
Even the Emperor who had a harem filled with three thousands beauties couldn't take his eyes off of the young ger.

"Xiao Zhi, do you like it?" he heard the beauty speaking to the boy to which the little one nodded quickly.

"If you like it then I'll buy this toy for you,okay?"
