The Goddess of the Moon
Episode 21 "Start cultivating "

Jean walked into the Heavenly Water, as her feet touched the Heavenly Water, her entire body felt as much pain as in the gnawing of many small ants.

' Shit, not yet in a deeper place. My body can barely hold on ' Inner Jean. Curse himself.

Huli and Long who saw Jean's face change, felt very worried.

" Long, can Miss get through it? I was worried, " said Huli.

" Be calm, Miss, a very great person, she can definitely, " said Long, calming. Actually Long was also worried, but he did not want to show it to Huli. If he showed it then Huli would be even more worried.

' Miss, you can do it. I believe in you' Inner Long.

Jean gritted her teeth, she continued to step forward, towards a deeper place. Almost fainting from the pain in her body, Jean bit her lip until it bled, to wake her up. Heavenly Water was now at the boundary of Jean's neck, Jean continued walking until her body was completely covered in Heavenly Water.

Jean was already in the very deep heavenly Water, she still maintained her consciousness. The deeper Jean was in the Heavenly Water the more her body hurt.

" Akhh, "Jean groaning in pain.

' Damn, my body's about to break ' Jean's mind.

Jean almost lost consciousness, she bit her lip again to maintain her consciousness, but Jean's consciousness did not last long. Jean's body was broken into pieces. Jean was unconscious, as if she were asleep, and she no longer felt pain. Jean's body was again formed without a thread on her body. That's what's called 'Rebirth'. A huge lotus flower (or a giant one) held Jean's body, the lotus flower closed her buds and Jean was already wearing a beautiful blue hanfu.

Jean began to regain consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes, she looked around.

" Lotus? long time no see, " said Jean.

" It's been a long time Goddess. Happy Goddess has gone through Rebirth, " Lotus said.

" It's been thousands of years. Thank you Lotus. I'll start my training, " said Jean.

" I understand the Goddess, " replied Lotus.

Jean began her cultivation by meditating within the Lotus that was at the base of the Heavenly Water.

As Jean went through Rebirth, the memory of her past self as the Goddess of the Moon had completely returned. Even the memories of the owner of the body he occupied, which was originally only vague now became very clear.

#POV Residence of General Li

The people who lived in the General's residence were preoccupied with various preparations. (Except Yueyin/Jean )

(readers now we call Jean by the name of Yueyin whose name is now yes readers😊 ).

Li Jianying and his younger brother Li Jiali were busy preparing themselves for the Emperor's birthday to be held 3 months away. They had already trained from 3 months ago, the last time they met Yueyin in the Cold Pavilion.

They are both preoccupied with many activities, ranging from learning to embroider, dance and practicing Guqin musical instruments. They both prepare themselves as best as possible in order to amaze the invited guests who will come later, because the neighboring Kingdoms will come in the event. And even more surprising to Li Jianying, Crown Prince Qin Yongsheng who was rumored to be home in 1 year, apparently shortened his return on the Emperor's birthday. Not without reason, the return of the Crown Prince was not only for his father's birthday, but he had heard the news, that his engagement with Yueyin would be canceled. He felt so happy that he decided to return to the Kingdom, his intention was more clearly to insult Yueyin because Yueyin had always refused to cancel their engagement.

Jianying and Jiali were now practicing dance, both of them bent their hips. Even Jianying wanted to make her own dance moves to present for the Emperor's birthday. General Li who saw his two children was satisfied because they tried hard to show their best on the Emperor's birthday and did not humiliate him.

" You are so great my children, " said General Li.

Jianying and Jiali turned to the source of the voice.

" Father, "said Jianying and Jiali simultaneously.

" When has Father been here?, "said Jianying spoiledly to General Li.

" Since you have performed your beautiful dance, " replied General Li, smiling warmly.

" Dad could have been, we were still not as great as big brother Yueyin, " said Jiali in a contrived tone. Though he only wanted to hear the insults from General Li to Yueyin.

" Don't call that useless child, he's just humiliating our family" said General Li, curtailing his annoyance.

" Dad, are we going to take big brother Yueyin?, "asked Jianying.

" Of course Ying'er, Yin'er is your brother. Why do you ask that?, "said a beautiful woman but she was old.

" Mother. My wife "said Jianying and Jiali along with General Li.

It turned out that the woman was Empress Li Mei-yin who used to be General Li's concubine before the departure of Yueyin's late mother. Empress Mei-yin smiles sweetly at her two children as well as her husband.

Jianying and Jiali hugged his mother spoiled, then re-released their embrace.

" Mom, are you defending big brother Yueyin?, "said Jiali a little annoyed.

" Mom didn't defend her, it's just that she's your sister Li'er" said Empress Mei-yin.

Even though he looked very attentive to Yueyin, in fact it was all a falsehood. He often tortured Yueyin, even he also planned to poison Yueyin. He had always been kind in front of General Li to see that he loved Yueyin very much and had a virtuous heart. Though the maids who served her were well acquainted with the grumpy, cruel and unforgiving nature of Empress Mei-yin.

(Truly grandma dropped by the former concubine)

" But he is just the trash of the Qin Kingdom, " said Jianying who did not accept her mother defending Yueyin.

" Ying'er don't say that, " said Empress Mei-yin.

" It's my wife, what Ying'er said is true. You're too good to always defend him. Though he has always been disrespectful to you, "General Li told Empress Mei-yin.

" But my husband he is your son, and I have considered him my own son" said Empress Mei-yin.

" I never thought of him as my son after that" said General Li withstanding his anger.

Empress Mei-yin and her two daughters who saw the anger on her father's face were very happy, Her father already hated Yueyin very much, especially Empress Mei-yin who smiled with satisfaction because her plan had succeeded.

" I'm sorry my husband, I didn't mean to, " said Empress Mei-yin. As if he were sorry (wanted author tabok muka ).

" Oh my wife, it's not your fault. Your heart is very kind, " said General Li while hugging Empress Mei-yin.

" Okay my husband, " said Empress Mei-yin, then let go of their embrace.

" I'm going back to my study, you accompany the children to dance practice, "General Li told Empress Mei-yin.

" Well my husband, I will accompany Ying'er and Li'er, " said Empress Mei-yin.

General Li left the place, headed to his study.

" Aren't we going to have to get rid of that trash immediately?, " said Empress Mei-yin with an evil smile on her face.

" Mother is right, we should get rid of her immediately, " Jianying said with an evil smile like her mother.

" But we must not kill him for now mother, we still need him to cancel his engagement to the Crown Prince" Jiali said.

" You're right, sister, but on the Emperor's birthday, I'll humiliate that trash in front of everyone" Jianying said.

" I'm looking forward to you, aren't you mom? " jiali said with passion. Then ask his mother.

" You're right, Li'er, I'm also impatient" said Empress Mei-yin.

The three of them smiled wickedly and began to devise a plan to humiliate Yueyin for the Emperor's birthday.
