"I know you don't really enjoy living in the palace, but I did hear from Minister that you were taken from your room and returned. He did not think that it was his place to question you so he reminded me that if this was the type of activities you would be involved in that you would no longer be welcomed at the manor." Zaiyuan looked miffed as he poured two cups of tea and drained them in quick succession.
"There is an explanation that I doubt you will like."
"Oh? When have you really done what I would have liked? I am not very interested if this is what I think it is."
The servants were already removed from the room so Yan Sha spoke planly. "Father, Ning Zhuo came for me."
His hand dropped to his knee in alarm. She could see the veins tighten as his voice stayed level. "How did you get out of there alive? Are you compromised? Is there a need for us to get a physician involved?"

Yan Sha followed closely behind Minister Xun as they entered the restaurant. As it was night, the place was crowded with young men. A group of scholars were crowded around a long sheet of paper that had been rolled down from the second floor from the rafters. Yan Sha could read that it was a long stream of poetry where the scholars would each choose a different line.Zhang Xun spoke quietly to the waiter standing behind the counter. Yan Sha tried to see if there was anyone whom she recognized. Most of the nobility of Jungpi were unfamiliar to her as she had not been allowed outside for fear of the attack from Ning Zhuo. Yan Sha wondered what she would do if she ran into him here. His feeling for her were chaotic and difficult to understand.A hand alighted on her shoulder as the minister spoke to her with a reassurance. "Let's go. Don't worry that outside people will be involved with us. These students are the

Ning Zhuo returned back inside to his room at the inn, his servant closed the doors behind them. He looked at the clasp of the door in a skeptical manor. As the prince continued to fan himself, the servant bowed. "Your highness, I feel concerned about the security of the room. From the inside, there can be backup from myself. There are many whom could choose this vulnerable time to harm your body again. I could get a physician to be on standby. This is an unfarmiliar place to us to be in the heart of a foreign capital. Sir, I beg you to please return to the manor which is more obscure.""When is it that I do not plan in advance? Do you doubt me?" Ning Zhuo closed the fan and slapped it against the desk."I would never dare to say such a thing, sir. My job is only here is to protect you. I would like to retain my directive.""I understand you concern. You feel the air too don't you?&nbs

Yan Sha awoke the following day feeling dejected as she knew there would be a bite back from doing what she had been told would be dangerous for her. She knew that this distaste would come hand in hand with something new and unpleasant for her. Her body was strangely restless as she looked outside at the wall which stood as a barrier between Xun manor and the world outside.She wondered for a moment if she truly was still a member of the populance. Why did she still feel common if she technically had a crown on her head? Other princesses worried about silly things like clothing and what nice things to eat for that day. She was learning how best to run a country. Often she wondered if there would be a point in making all of these efforts to be on the same field as the men who wanted to wrench the power away from the women running Jungpi.As she turned to start her tasks for the day which sat in a pile of dismal reports, she realized t

There was an incessant knock against the door frame. There was a snore heard from within the chamber as the servant looked at all of the maids and servants sitting outside. They all looked exhausted as they had been sitting outside all night.The messenger sighed, "One of you sitting here? Why is he sleeping like this? What happened to the crown prince? He's very disciplined. No drinking. No going after bad women. Nothing has been able to shake him for many years."One of the maids bowed to the messenger. "Replying to your question, my lord. His highness is upset over a woman. We don't know the details but he was raving about having us pack up and get ready to head to Wei in the morning. This is why all of us are standing outside as we have followed his commandmants."The messenger made an irritated sound and then shook his message scroll at the servants. "Disregard this. H

"Your highnesses, the crown prince is here." The maid bowed deeply before the two who were giggling in the bath.Yan Sha was in the hands of Yan Ming who was kissing up her back. Yan Sha pulled away and got up out of the bath. A maid came forward with the undergarment. Yan Ming splashed loudly in the bath before doing the same."Come off it, Yan Sha, why won't you listen to me?" Yan Ming hugged Yan Sha to her body as the maid was still bowed after she made the news known to the duo. "Are you scared of him?""I'm not a true member of this family." Yan Sha said softly. "I'm the easiest one if one of us have to leave.""Mother has often told me to treat you like a slave. I am the legitimate one and you are not. I have all the responsibilities and you get all the fun.""Going to cults to learn about the art of war is the least fun. There are so many books and mistakes and people who coul

"Prince Consort, Your serene higness, I want both of you to rest assured. The result of the plan that you have set forwards has come back through the crown princess's servants as well as the imperial physician who was decided to stay on alert as the incident was unfolded. As you have predicted, the result is completed to the satisfaction." The servant bowed in front of the duo who were eating their evening meal together. Most of the dishes were uncovered, but hardly touch as neither had really touched this food which had been brought before them. The soft heat had ceased rising from the dishes which the servant looked nervously at. "Please let me take away these cold dishes and replace them with something warm from the kitchen.""No there is no need. You can return back, tell my daughters that we would like to speak them before they retire for the night. If they are afraid, have the maid return with some guards. They canno

"Madam we have been here for a little over a month, the lord has not visited our pavilian once. Concubine Wu has been making fun of you as someone who will never garner the favor of the lord."Yan Sha sighed with a soft smile as she took a delicate sip of the tea which had been handed to her. "The lord has many wives to visit in the midst between his military expeditions. What need is there for us to compete for favor. Eventually all will get a turn. I can rebuff him as I know there are many here whom are waiting to be favored by our lord. I am not in a rush to be close to our lord duke, there have also been many accidents in the yard, why rush into a place where we do not know which hand will help or hurt.""But madam, we would get such nice treatment from the household service. You would get the best food and nicest things.""The food we get is satisfactory. It's fine. The clothing though often not the best

Yan Sha looked around at the strange surroundings which was the servants chambers. The windows were small and the smell of the moss covered stones above where strangely having a drowsy effect on her. She moved the bed over to where the ground was less damp."Madam, I apologize for leaving you in such squallid conditions. Yangfeng likes to have her courtyard and that of the concubines fixed quickly. My own rooms are in this state of extreme disrepair. It's a bit of an embarassment that I have to leave you here while we have guests in the house. I wish there was some other accomidation which could have been set up, but it is inappropriate for you to stay outside."She nodded slowly as she got up to see the Duke standing with his manservant who was holding additional bedding. Her two servants came from behind them and rushed in with whoops of amazements at such a condition. The duke looked progressively more and more uncomfo
