It's been three months since YueLing was born. Tomorrow is her Hundredth day and the king has removed all taxes for the whole country for the next 5 years to celebrate for the little princess. YueLing is very easy to care for. She mostly sleeps through the days and giggles when her parents are playing with her. When she is hungry or needs to be changed she patiently waits for someone to come to check. She hardly cries at all, the only time she cried was when she was first born, during the assassin attack on the queen on the same night and on her full month banquet when her mother was about to sit on the broken chair. No one really ever paid attention to how much she cries at all.
"Yueling flowers, the snow in the sky
Yuè lìng huā, tiānshàng xuě,
They start to wither when they just bloom
huā chū kāi, shǐ diāoxiè,
Once exuberant, once withered
yīkè shēng, yīkè miè.
Once exuberant, once withered
yīkè shēng, yīkè miè.
They wither when the moon comes out
Yuè chū bùjiàn huā,
They bloome when the moon disappears
huā kāi bùjiàn yuè,
Yueling flowers don't know
yuè lìng huā bu zhī,
They never meet the moon
huā yì bù shí yuè.
They bloom in an instant
Huā kāi yīkè shēng,
They wither in an instant
huā xiè yīkè miè,
Instants witness their blooming & withering"
huā kāi yīshēng yī miè.

The queen was singing the folk song to the princess to make her fall asleep while rocking her in her arms. She was so focused on singing to her little princess that she didn't even realize the king had entered the chamber at all. He told the servants not to announce his arrival so he can give his queen a surprise. He just stands behind her to watch and listen to her sing to the little princess.
When she is done singing, he walks up toward her back to embrace her and softly calls for her. "My queen, it has been a long time that I have heard you sing that old folk song." he says. "My majesty, when did you come in?" she asks softly. "Just when you started singing. You still sound so sweet when you sing that song." he replies. "My majesty, yes I haven't, but seeing that it's going to be a full moon on our little princess's hundredth day I just could help but sing it." she says.
"Your majesty and my queen, the herbal medicine is ready to drink." said the maid. "Okay give it to me." the king demanded while reaching for the bowl. "I will spoon feed you, my queen. I know you don't like to drink the bitter medicine." he said with a smile. "My majesty it's okay... I ca..." the queen gets interrupted by the king "No, my queen, I am the king of the country so how can I turn back on my words." he says teasingly. "Okay, my majesty, let me place YueLing down in her crib first." she said while walking to the crib and gently placing YueLing down. She then sits down on the bed beside the crib, rocking it slightly. She then turns and walks back to where the king was sitting and sat beside him. They both stare into the eyes of each other feeling the love that they have for each other.
