Joy of Life
A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants. Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…. Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor… Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road? Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom. Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost, a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning. Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

The Qing Kingdom was very harmonious during this period of time. There was a new little prince in the Palace, and it was a matter for celebration. As for how exactly Consort Mei died, no one dared discuss it. The midwife responsible for the birth in that palace hall accompanied Consort Mei into the grave because of her birthing complications. It was a matter of course.
Presently, the Qing court had soldiers in the North. The state of the country was very tense, and the day of unification was approaching. Who would have such daring to say those forbidden words unless they were not afraid of being reported by the internal court eunuchs and Ascetic Monks that hid in the darkness?
In just a few days, the matter of Consort Mei had faded. Jingdou returned to a clear and calm place in the depth of autumn.
