The next day at the residence of Xiao Dong the arrival of a guest from the empire, apparently the guest was the personal bodyguard Huang Bifeng his arrival this time brought a message. Directly Xiao Dong called all his children and his wife to gather.
Xiao Dong sat down with Queen Xiao Lian while the Third Prince sat beside her.
"After all, did Mr. Ming visit Youngzhou? "say Xiao Dong. Private guard Huang Bifeng looked for a moment at the royal members and took out a scroll of cloth.
"I'm just here to deliver a message from the emperor"
"Alright please Mr. Ming"
Mr. Ming opened the scroll and began to read the contents.
"On behalf of Emperor Huangzhou, I would like to send my message to Xiao Dong King Youngzhou, in view of my sister Hua'er's gentle and kind-hearted death and understanding of ethics. The late previous emperor with his kindness married him to the talented son Youngzhou and was given the title of queen. Because the sky was jealous of his youth, he died at a young age. It's been 18 years now, when I remember the past my heart hurts so much. Therefore I want to make an offering to show love towards my fellow brothers!" yuan Ming finished reading the emperor's message, then rolled back the object.
"The Emperor is getting older, lately he misses his brother a lot, it just so happens that today is the 40th birthday of Princess Hua so that's why I was sent here" Yuan Ming added, Xiao Dong and the others nodded in understanding.
"Oh yeah he misses his nephew too"
"Feng'er salute" Xiao Dong said. Xiao Feng stood up and cupped his hands together with a slight bow.
"I am Xiao Feng, the Second Prince saluted the master" Xiao Feng said.
"Truly handsome and elegant does have imperial blood I think the Princess has always guarded from up there" said Mr. Ming happily, he had seen Xiao Feng once when he was one month old and now it was great that he looked to admire Xiao Feng.
"Master was overly complimentary" Xiao Feng said then sat back down, Mister Ming then turned his gaze to King Xiao Dong.
"Then, is it troublesome for the prince to take me to worship the princess" said Mr. Ming, everyone was a little surprised because the altar of worship of the previous queen did not exist, indeed, Xiao Dong simply buried Queen Hua behind Xiao Feng's residence. Xiao Dong glanced at Xiao Feng as if gesturing.
"Sir is very wise, we thank you just for the birthday celebration of the mother in two days. Sir has tired in the journey should rest first, later the worship time arrives I myself will pick up the master" said Xiao Feng. Master Ming nodded his head and then looked back at Xiao Dong.
"Rightly what Feng'er said, you better rest first" Xiao Dong said
"Then I take orders"
"Eunuch bring Master Ming to rest" Xiao Dong ordered
"Good"
Mr. Ming then got up from his seat and saluted, after which he left the room. After the death of Mr. Ming Xiao Dong sighed in relief.
"Feng'er you did well"
"Dad is busy with the country, mother's birthday is also not a palace arrangement, enough ananda alone who has been paying homage but it seems that in two days we have to erect a decent altar" said Xiao Feng.
******
Two days passed quickly, this morning all the members of the kingdom including the Minister and officials had gathered in the field and there was an altar bearing the name of Queen Hua. King Xiao Dong walked up and stood on the podium, Eunuch carrying a roll of cloth. Xiao Dong accepted and read the contents of the scroll.
"In this offering, we from the kingdom of Youngzhou commemorate Queen Hua who is compassionate and wise, the moon no longer shines the sky drops a sign of rushing along with the departure of the queen who is a model diistana" Xiao Dong closed the cloth scroll and gave it to Kasim.
"The King's Offerings"
A male servant carrying a tray with a cup filled with wine on it, Xiao Dong received the cup with both hands.
"Please allow the queen to accept this offering" Xiao Dong said, then poured wine in front of the altar, after which Xiao Dong finished saving the cup back to the tray and walked to the side.
"The Second Prince's offering!"
Xiao Feng walked to the front of the altar and the servant gave the cup containing wine, Xiao Feng received the cup and knelt down
"Mother accept the offering of this unfilial child" Xiao Feng said, then poured some wine. After it was done Xiao Feng kowtowed once then got up and returned to his original place.
"The Queen Lian's offering!"
Xiao Lian came forward and received the wine cup "The Queen's Leaf above the sky accept my respect" he said, A glimpse of him as a concubine flashed through his head. At that moment everyone sneered at him because Xiao Lian only came from ordinary people. Xiao Lian when she was young saw the affection of Xiao Dong and Queen Hua arise envy.
Xiao Lian shook her body when the shadow of Queen Hua reappeared on her head and strange things happened the once clear weather suddenly clouded with the sound of thunder and wind blowing loudly. Everyone was a little surprised by this change in weather, Xiao Dong just kept silent seeing Xiao Lian still holding the cup.
"Queen is fine" asked the waiter who was carrying the tray when he saw Xiao Lian standing still, Xiao Lian was aghast and the cup in her hand slipped off to the ground, Xiao Dong and the others were surprised even Master Ming frowned.
"Durr!"
The sound of lightning sounded and shocked everyone, Xiao Lian was also very shocked to the point of sitting on the ground. Xiao Jun immediately advanced and helped Xiao Lian stand up.
"Mother what's wrong with you, stand up first" Xiao Jun said, then he said again "Why do you still shut up so quickly put an end to this"
"Silent, this ceremony is not finished yet" Xiao Dong said softly but his tone sounded furious.
"Mother, come over here" Xiao Jun said, bringing Xiao Lian to the side
"Official Offering!"
All offices and ministers are now taking turns giving performances one by one. Xiao Dong looked from his darkened face let alone seeing Master Ming's expression which was like holding back anger with the incident just now. Xiao Feng just kept silent to watch the ceremony. Not long after the offering ceremony had been completed, everyone now returned to their respective residences including Xiao Dong who walked with Xiao Lian and Kasim. Xiao Jun, who had wanted to take her mother away, abandoned his intentions after seeing Xiao Dong's sharp gaze.
