7 Princess Xiao Ai Leaves for Bianjing.

"Madam,you called me?" A'lan asked.

"Yes,from now on that lady will be the daughter of the Jiang family from now on.She will live with us as Meihui from now on and you must not utter a word to anyone that she isn't our daughter.Not even by mistake.Do you understand? Madam Jiang said in a serious tone.

"Yes madam,your wish is my command." A'lan said and bowed.

Even though she didn't like the lady that much,she must accept her as her Madam's daughter.As long as Madam is happy.

"I got a letter that the First Prince is going to be coronated as the crown prince in five days time.I will have to be in the imperial Court so we will be leaving for Bianjing soon.Go and prepare for our departure." Lord Jiang said.

"Okay Lord." A'lan bowed and left.

"Master, it's me." Marshal Feng's spy said softly.

"Come in." 

"Master,The Second Prince didn't do anything suspicious today." Marshal Feng's spy said.

"Really?" Marshal Feng frowned. and asked.

"Yes,master." 

"Okay.Keep a close eye on him." Marshal Feng said.

"I will take your leave now master." He leaves.

"Mother,father,Bai Xi, A'fen, Shoiming and General Song.I will surely avenge your deaths.I will kill each and every one of the Royal family of Song dynasty that conspired against Western Xia.This is Li Xiao Ai's promise." Princess Xiao Ai said with red eyes and tears rolling down her cheek.

She takes the knife on the table and cuts her hand.Blood flows freely on the table.

"What are you doing?" Madam Jiang shouted looking horrified and quickly tore a cloth to stop her hands from bleeding.

Madam Jiang sat in front of Princess Xiao Ai for a moment and looked at her with affection and pity.

"My dear,so much hatred isn't good to harbour.It only brings pain.I don't know why you harbour so much hatred or what happened in your past but you should try to forget and live happily dear.Hatred brings destruction.

"forget?" Princess Xiao Ai looked at Madam Jiang and smirked.Suddenly,she frowned and her face was full of hatred.Her Stern look even made Madam Jiang afraid.

"The cries of the innocent people still echoes in my ear.The horrific laughter of the enemies and painful screams can't be forgotten." Princess Xiao Ai said in a harsh tone.

"But if the heart can shine without the moon, it's worth forgetting." Madam Jiang said trying to convince her.

"There can only be peace when they are punished!" Princess Xiao Ai said and abruptly stood up.

"Okay,whatever you say.But please do try and remember what I said."

"We will be leaving for Bianjing in an hour.Prepare yourself Meihui."Madam Jiang said and smiled.

"Your Royal Majesty,Empress Song seeks your audience." The Royal announcer said.

"Let her in!" Emperor Taizu said.

"Greetings Your Royal Majesty." Empress Song said and slightly kneeled.

"Sit my Empress." Emperor Taizu said and gestured to the chair in front of him.

"Thank you Your Royal Majesty,now that you are going to coronate Prince Zixin as the crown prince,what do you have in mind for prince Qianfan and prince Bingwen?" Empress Song said.

"Prince Zixin has proved that he can take on the responsibility of handling Song dynasty and I am very happy.At least one of my sons is capable of being a good ruler." Emperor Taizu said and sipped his tea.

"But.....Prince Qianfan and Prince Bingwen…." Emperor Taizu heaved a deep sigh of disappointment and nodded his head.

"Prince Qianfan thinks he is still a child.He goes around the palace playing all day.He doesn't study or practice martial arts.I am scared for his future.

"And Prince Bingwen..He is still young and that is understandable.At least he tries to study but Prince Qianfan doesn't do anything that is fit for a prince at all.Emperor Taizu said.

"I know how much you care for them.You are their father after all.I think the only way to make Prince Qianfan more mature and sensible is to get him married.If he has a wife,he will start to learn his responsibilities and duties as a husband and as the Second Prince of Song dynasty." Empress Song said.

"I hope that will work." Emperor Taizu said.

"Don't worry Your Royal Majesty.After the coronation ceremony,I will pick eligible daughters of Ministers in the court and hold a competition.Whoever wins,will be made Prince Qianfan's wife." Empress Song said and smiled.

"Okay,I trust you to pick the best girl for Prince Qianfan." Emperor Taizu said and held Empress Song's hand.

"WHAT! as if I do not have enough problems right now,mother had to go and create more problems for me." Second Prince said and frownd.

"She is very thoughtful of you Your Royal Highness." Huan said and smiled.

"Why are you smiling? What is funny?" Second Prince said and rolled his eyes.

"I am still not able to figure out how to get out of the palace without being noticed on the day of the coronation.Now I have to worry about my marriage." Second Prince said.

"I heard the maid's saying a competition will be held among the women and the winner will be selected as your wife.What if you made all of them fail?" Huan suggested.

"That is the most terrible idea you have ever given me.And how will I do that? How can the bodyguard of the Second Prince of Song dynasty come up with such ideas? It's not like I am a magician to know how many women will pick." Second Prince angrily said and Ave a deep sigh.

"Miss,it's time to leave for Bianjing.Lord and madam are waiting outside the restaurant." A'lan said and went outside with Princess Xiao Ai.

"Sit in the carriage Meihui." Madam Jiang said to Princess Xiao Ai and smiled.

Princess Xiao Ai looked at the carriage and smiled."Father,Mother, General Song, Shoiming,Bai Xi,A'fen from now on I will live as Jiang Meihui.Please help me in my pursuit to get Justice for Western Xia." Princess Xiao Ai thought to herself and sat in the carriage.

They all left for Bianjing,the capital city of Song dynasty.
