The Rise Of An Empress

The Concubine Who Embarrassed The Moon

Baekhyun was made ready by the maids to meet queen mother Park in evening tea time. Baekhyun was escorted by maids to queen mother's palace and then to queen mother's hall room.

Baekhyun bows to show his respect to queen mother. Queen mother smiles and tells him to sit down to have tea with her.A table on one side of this room is decorated with delicious rice cakes and chestnut. Gorgeous tea cups are being waited to serve tea.

Queen mother is amazed seeing Baekhyun's beauty. She heard Baekhyun is beautiful. But she thought it was just affection of local people of Yongsan province to their wise ruler's family. She first met Baekhyun while Baekhyun became sick from birth control soup. Right then she could not get proper view of Baekhyun because of rosy Rashes.

Actually this marriage is mostly based on political issues. The known reason of this marriage is Chanyeol will provide protection to Yongsan from notorious rouges and will get ruling power of this independent province. But the unknown reason is Chanyeol has another plan depending on Yongsan area to enforcement his navy department. Yongsan is a costal area , people of this province are mostly fishermen. They know the pros and cons of the rivers and seas since childhood.

Actually it's a distant area so that no one of capital can ever measure these people's value . When they seemed help,for the first time Chanyeol's clever ministry group gave his idea that they can use these people to strong their navy. Although Chanyeol has one of the largest strong armies ,but navy is relatively weak. Costal area guard is becoming harder day by day . This marriage with Yongsan's younger beauty prince has given a popular figure to Chanyeol among the people. They will attend navy for Chanyeol without any hesitation now. Sometimes emotional ruling wins over strong harsh order based ruling.

Literally Baekhyun is nothing to them. But queen mother was amazed while his younger son prince Sehun was continuously praising Baekhyun. It's acceptable to her as Sehun is now attentive to study. Queen mother wants to keep Sehun as an important powerful advisor to Chanyeol.

Although Chanyeol and Sehun both are her sons, she remains always afraid. In royal tradition blood relationship always considers as threat than others string less relationship. A Prince life except the crown prince always hangs on a thread.

A crown prince always remains in boundary of protection. Even his household protects him from any touch . If any prince from another household seems to raise, it's the crown prince's household duty to remove the threatened prince from the way of crown. A palace is for only one prince of one generation, that's the crown prince. After being king or emperor every princes from high rank to low rank household are sent to distant palace it's like their exile from royal life. Only suspicion of treason is enough to kill them and buri them under the darkness of night.

Chanyeol was always protected in such way since childhood. After he became emperor ,he has sent all of his step brothers to distant islands. Only prince staying in palace is Sehun now . Although Chanyeol is so affectionate to Sehun , but who can say what will happen in future . Establishing Sehun as a powerful advisor of Chanyeol's ministry is now only concern for queen mother Park.

" It's nice to hear that you have recovered from sickness . If you weren't sick ,the meeting of us would held earlier, Concubine Byun," queen mother says with her royal gravity filled smile.

" Your highness, it's my luck that I have got such opportunity to meet you. Thanks a lot."

"Emperor told me to look after the issue of your sickness. I am glad the issue solved properly. The royal physician has found better alternative of birth control for you."

" That's your kindness," Baekhyun bows. This birth control thing is bothering him since the first.

" I hope you will give beautiful princess to our royal family like you," queen mother can't resist herself from saying . If Baekhyun can give birth to princess just like same beauty,then it will be asset for royal family.
