Thousands of years ago, human civilization are scattered. Human tribes are everywhere. Some are still living in caves, some built tree houses, while some lives beside the river. Some learn crafts and raise livestock. Literation are still at its infancy.
Women hunts while men stays at home. This was a world of matriarchy. Created by the Almighty Goddess, the great lady of creation.
But the normalcy slowly changes when the ancestor, the first and greatest Empress of the Great YinYue Dynasty was born. Step by step, she united tribes, established YinYue imperial court, and civilized her people.
Great YinYue Dynasty has been established since thousand years ago, the YinYue imperial family reigning thousand years up till the present 18th generation YinYue Empress, Her Majesty, Hongwu Empress.
On the 16th year of her rule, she welcomed a foreign nation's envoy. Throwing a welcoming banquet.
"May the great goddess lady bless the YinYue imperial family. The imperial princesses are exceptionally talented and dashing, becoming an envy to this minister's Xuan state's princesses."
What great goddess' blessing, what imperial princesses are talented and dashing, all of this are merely speaking nonsense. Everyone thought, some are secretly coughing behind their wide sleeves in embarrassment.
Don't know if it is a punishment from the goddess or that the goddess thinks that the YinYue imperial rule have lived far too long but the current Empress have sired useless and unsuitable heirs.
The princesses have long exhausted the hopes of loyal ministers. No signs of promising princess are among 4 alive imperial daughters. Two of them are a representation of a useless and hedonistic daughters, some of them even committed outrageous conduct, totally shaming and degrading the prestige of imperial family. While the eldest princess was muddle headed and incapable. It's all because she neglected personally teaching them since birth when she personally headed to defend her empire from invasion for the past 15 years. The only 'behave' princess she have is only her youngest. All of this angered the Empress to the point of puking blood, she fell ill and stayed at her dragon bed for nearly a month. So what was said was simply poking at the hornet's nest of Her Majesty, the Empress.
Now how to smooth this ridgy atmosphere? Not accepting is simply admitting that there is no suitable heir and degrading the face of imperial family but accepting is also accepting the other party's mockery, serving the YinYue Empress' face for a slap.
The Empress merely smiled, hiding knives behind the facade of her amiability. If it wasn't for the imperial family's decline, she would have rip their faces if not for the fear of the other nation using this to censure her rule.
Great YinYue dynasty is really great and the very first imperial nation to rule the world but due to it's declining state in the past hundred years, it was enough for the surrounding nations to surpass it's hegemony. But after all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, it will take long for anyone with ulterior motives to swallow this starving camel.
"Xuan envoy jokes, Zhen have heard of Xuan Empress' outstanding feminity. Even heard that he even clamored to marry Zhen's most beloved eldest prince in her abundant harem. Even Xuan's imperial highnesses are "getting along well and are in harmony", it truly worthy of Zhen's envy."
Oh, at least Zhen's daughters are only useless, they are filial. Given the time, Zhen might be able to reform them. If not, there's Zhen's youngest princess I could personally train. But your country's princesses are openly in each other's throat, each one wanted your debauched empress to die atop her imperial concubine's body.
The Xuan envoys' faces greened. "Your Majesty laughs, the moon have risen high at the sky. We asked her Majesty to pardon us."
The Empress widened her smile, "En. Xia-mama escort the esteemed envoys at their quarters."
They cupped their fists and withdrew.
Behind a curtain of one of the tents, an astonishingly beautiful man clenched his jade white hands. His black eyes that can steal a soul of those who glance at their depth, flashed a gloomy light. A lovely young man worriedly looked at his master.
"Your highness, her Majesty can't bear to send you to those savages. Please calm yourself."
The young man simply pursed his ruddy lips. Not talking, he lowered his eyes and it was unknown what he was thinking.
