Chapter 2 - An Envious Aunt And Cousin

The lady who was very envious and bitter of seeing everyone celebrating the birth of Emperor Shou's baby entered her room with full of rage and anger. Inside the room her husband and Emperor Shou's brother Cheng was checking at some papers on his desk and her child was playing with some toys. The lady sat on her bed with anger and disappointment on her face. Her husband then asked.

"What's wrong Xiú why are so angry?" Cheng asked his wife

"What's wrong?! You don't know I thought know about it, right now?" Xiu taunted.

"Know what? Please tell me clearly what you are trying to say." Cheng asked.

"Okay, so Lord Cheng congratulations you are a uncle now. Your nephew is born!" Xiù answered with anger.

"Oh! So Shou's baby is born. That's a good news but why are you so angry about it." Cheng asked.

Xiú looked at her husband and said.

"Angry about it? ANGRY ABOUT IT...!?" DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS!?" Xiú shouted at her husband in anger and intimidated Cheng with her anger look.

"Yes.... Yes! My dear! Why are so angry about it." Cheng asked but he was feeling intimidated while asking again and Xiú was disappointed that her husband couldn't understand her frustration.

"You idiot! I am angry because our chances of being the prime Emperor is gone. It is done and dusted." Xiú answered however Cheng still didn't understood.

"But how my dear? I mean if brother Shou's baby is born then how could it ruin our chances of becoming the prime Emperor brother Shou is already the Emperor?" Cheng asked.

"Oh my goodness! I knew you are an idiot but that idiot? You don't realize now since Emperor Shou has a son then it is almost confirmed that in the future his son will takeover his throne and my boy Jún, for whom I named him with king in his name, in hope that he will become the Emperor in future but now it is all fading away Lord Cheng, it is all fading away." Xiú said looking at her son Jún emotionally.

"Mother! I will become the Emperor there is no one who stop me from being the Emperor." Jun said arrogantly.

"Look! LOOK! He also wants to become the Emperor as as well but how could he become the Emperor now? DO YOU HAVE ANY ANSWER?!" Xiú asked emotionally.

"Look! My dear, you don't have to be so worried about it. The future Emperor are not decided on births it is decided on the basis of capabilities and I am sure our boy Jún will be so capable that Master Zi Chen will choose our son to be the next Emperor." Cheng said and tried to calm her down but Xiú wasn't so pleased by her words.

"I don't think so Cheng... I don't think so. Master Zi Chen has been always biased towards Emperor Shou. I am sure in the near future he will only make his son the next Emperor." Xiú said and started to have an emotional breakdown while Cheng was trying to calm her down.

"Cheng! When it was been two days! I had a hope that the baby would be dead but no..... I was wrong Cheng.... I WAS WRONG..." Xiú said while sobbing uncontrollably.

Jún stood up and said arrogantly.

"Mother! You don't have to worry! I will kill that baby." 

Cheng was angry by his words and started to scold Jún.

"Jún! mind your language. If you ever said this again then I will punish you." Cheng raised his hand to punish Jun but Xiú stopped him to do so instead she started blaming Cheng.

"Why are you punishing him? Why? Because he wants to be the Emperor! That's why? Do you want him to be just like you as well in the future just being an assistant to his cousin brother?" Xiú said.

Cheng was now so fed up from all of this and now he couldn't take it anymore.

"SHUT UP, XIÚ! SHUT UP! I am seeing since came here you are speaking nonsense things and because of this our son is also acting like you. And remember if he killed Shou's son then he will not become the Emperor he will become the murderer and we all will be inside the prison." Cheng said.

"Then what you want me to do?" Xiú asked while sobbing.

"Just shut up! And let me work in peace. PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE!" Cheng asked Xiú to stop crying but instead of stopping Xiú started to cry even more and made Cheng even more frustrated while Jún was angry upon the fact that he might not become the Emperor.

Here in the throne room. Emperor Shou was sitting on his throne alongside with his baby resting in his crib with all of his working royals and his war heads. 

"Gentlemen! First I would like to thank you all for coming here. And would also thank you all because I know you all were praying for my child's safe birth and because of your prayers my child has now came to this world safely." Emperor Shou greeted and thanked everyone.

"ALL HAIL EMPEROR SHOU! ALL HAIL EMPEROR SHOU!" Head Hao and everyone inside throne room cried. Emperor Shou gently raised his hands asking them to stay calm.

"Thank you everyone. So you all know my child is born, so it is time to give my child a name." Emperor Shou said.

"Emperor Shou! Only Master Zi Chen can give him the name." Head Hao said. Emperor Shou looked at Master Zi Chen.

"Master Zi Chen, please give my child a new name." Emperor Shou. Master Zi Chen smiled and

"Emperor Shou I guess you are so much excited about the birth of your son that you forgot that I can only give him the name after one month in his one month birth ceremony." Master Zi Chen reminded Emperor Shou.

Emperor Shou was little bit embarrassed upon forgetting due to happiness of his child birth.

"I am sorry Master Zi Chen I completely forgotten about but what do we do now?" Emperor Shou asked.

Master Zi Chen simply smiled and said.

"Right now the baby should be with his mother resting. Emperor Shou just give me some time, surely I will think a good name for him. Trust me." Master Zi Chen assured Emperor Shou and Emperor Shou was convinced by Master Zi Chen words and decided to wait until next month to give a new name to his baby.
