Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

***********Xu Yan travelled to the northern kingdom and lived as a peasant.Concealing his past identity.He joined the army and quickly rose from a common soldier to a general.He became different from his past self.Xu Yan became a monster driven by revenge, lust for blood and power.He killed the northern king and usurped his throne.The Northern king had trusted Xu Yan until he drove a sword into his heart.

Xu Yan became a man of ambition.He wanted to become the ultimate ruler of the Qing.He needed to go back and claim his place.

Xu Yan tilted his head with a look of amusement on his face.His brother was trembling in fear.He looked like he would pee himself at any second now. "What is the matter brother? You look like you saw a ghost" the northern king squatted in front of his brother and stared straight into his eyes.

"What do you want?" Xu Wang asked in a shaky voice. "Is not obvious,brother?"

"You are not supposed to be alive,this is more than high treason!" He saw Xu Yan being buried with his own eyes.

"Too bad your mother is dead Xu Wang,I would've loved to give her your severed head as a gift.But it's okay...I am sure your parents would enjoy seeing you live more miserably than a dog.My dog." Xu Yan added with an evil grin***********

"Cut! Okay!" The director shouted.Casper threw away the sword he was holding and went to his relaxation area that had been put together by the crew. "That was great Casper, Your acting gave me goosebumps back there." "You looked so charming!....I understand why most of your fans are girls.I surely would be fangirling over you if I were still in my youth" that was Honey speaking.

"This movie is surely going to be a hit thanks to you!" The entire crew was filled with praises for him.Raina also admired his acting skills.The dude was made for the camera.She was up next.Raina had fifty two scenes in total,each with enough screen time to show her talent and do her best.If it all goes well,she would be nominated for best new actress at the next Diamond Disc awards.

Mira reviewed Raina's costume before the latter went in front of the camera.As much as she hated Raina and wished for her to fail the movie one way or the other,it shouldn't trace to her.

"1....2....3 Action!" The cameras had began rolling on a scene of several young ladies participating in the selection of the crown princess who would later become the empress and since there could only be one empress, the competition was so fierce.The young ladies were made to weave and embroider on silk.A talent for every high born woman then and an evidence of status.Empress Shi slowly glided around,her eyes taking in some fine and exquisite embroidery.She came across one of the contestants and stopped.Not because she embroidered or wove beautifully but the fact that she had done almost nothing on the frame and was clumsily pricking her fingers against the needles.The girl was undoubtedly a lowlife.The empress came to the conclusion seeing that the young girl sat at the last spot.Far behind anyone else.The pillow seat were arranged with hierarchy from the highest born to the lowest in the room.Even without her seating at the back,Emperess Shi had already came to the conclusion that the girl was a lowlife because no woman of high status would struggle with embroidery as little girls are being taught embroidery amongst other things right after they learn how to walk.

The selection of a crown princess for the prince involved only young ladies from noble families so how exactly did she get in? She was contaminating the place with her low presence! Empress Shi who was the daughter of the highest royal court official before she became the empress was and still is intolerant of peasants and people of low rank. "You there!" Empress Shi called out to the girl who looked up but quickly brought her head back down as it was considered rude to look a royal in the eyes.Why did the Empress call out to her? She wondered.Empress Shi was stunned when she saw the girl's face.It was brief,but it was enough for her to see...

"You may look up!" The empress commanded.The girl obeyed, slowly raising her head to face the Empress. Empress Shi was again stunned at the girl's beauty.She had such fair,milky skin that radiates beauty.Her oval shaped face and sharp fox eyes.Lips the color of coral.She radiated beauty.The kind of which the Empress had never seen.She wasn't human,she was a goddess!
