Chapter 16 - mother's love

After returning to their rooms , Ruyi and Fao started studying while Shana practiced embroidery .

Fao: this poem is hard to learn.

Ruyi: feel it with your heart and study .

Fao: with heart ?

Shana: yeah , with your heart . Whatever you do, do with your heart.

Ruyi: look the poem says ,

The sun and moon shines,

Day and night giving hope under the splendour sky; My heart and

Mind forget all pains and gains as I gaze at the breathtaking view of land and sea; I wish to sing and dance as the snow falls from heavens ; freezing my heart;

I read the poems of my soul as the spring appears ...

It tells about the mixed emotions , the beauty of nature .

Shana: go and look at the sky and you can write your own poem .

Ruyi: yeah it'll be easy in that way .

Fao: you're saying that a person can write poem when they look at something?

Shana: partially right.

Fao pointed at Ruyi and said ," since you said writing poem is easy , why don't you write poem looking at shana embroiding ?"

Ruyi : I can try .

Ruyi looked at Shana who is sitting near the window and said,

The silvery moon gaze at the woman , beautiful and elegant like a queen ; Holding a needle and a thread , she is emberoiding love and hate , truth and lies in the fabric of life ; Hoping her prince to come from moon to brush the strands of her hair when the wind blows ...

Shana and Fao smiled hearing her poem .

Fao: are you hoping to meet you prince from moon, shana?

Shana : haha , no . I guess. But thanks it was beautiful. And I don't need a prince to brush the strands of my hair , I have two hands . I can do it myself .

Fao : Ruyi, say a poem about me .

Ruyi: lazy get fancy so soon

Fao : huh? You say her as beauty and me as lazy ?

Listening to Ruyi , shana laughed .

Fao: you say her as beauty and me as lazy ?

Ruyi: just kidding. Study now . I can tell a poem about you some other day .

The atmosphere was good filled with smiles and fragrance of youths.

Jein came to Prince Sha who was admiring the moon and with respect he said ," prince , Majesty calls you "

Prince sha : father?

" yes"

" let's go .it must be something important. "

Jein and Prince Sha rushed to the imperial palace and met his majesty in his room .

" Prince sha is here " the prince bowed his head and Jein knelt and bowed down .

"Relax , no need to be courteous " the majesty said and Prince looked his father and jein stood .

" I think you are free now "

" yes Father . After coming from the frontier I don't have many tasks "

" I want you to go Changan and learn about trade . See, if our country men are living there safely. We formed a pact with Changan, a few years ago. And see if they are behaving as per the pact . "

" Father , isn't It like spying ? "

" no. Our pact says that our country men can go and come from their country freely . So , as a citizen of Kelan, you can go and stay there "

" I understood father . When should I depart ?"

" tomorrow . It will take two or three days for you to reach changan."

" except Jein no one should accompany you " ordered his father.

" yes Father "

" don't reveal your identity to anyone . Not even to your close one!. Go to see your academy if you have time . But be careful . No one except the elder of the school should know about you " commanded the Majesty .

" yes Father " Prince returned to his pavilion and packed necessary things .

Jein: are you on cloud nine?

Prince : why ?

Jein: aren't you happy? Your future wife and..

Sha interrupted. " I am not going to see anyone . I am going for a business "

Jein : but won't you see her if you have a chance .

Sha: I will . But only when the time comes .

" go and pack your stuffs. I can pack my things "

" yes master " Jein left the room.

After an hour a servant came and said ," crown prince, the empress is here "

Sha nodded and went to welcome his sweet mother .

" mom " he said in a tone which doesn't belong to the crown prince but to a caring son .

The empress smiled and said ," my son is growing handsome each day" .

Hearing this prince laughed and empress' maids smirked .

" mother , come in . Don't catch cold "

" when my son warms my heart , how could I get cold ?"

" mom , it slippery "

" don't be afraid . I will pull you"

Sha laughed .

He always feels safe and warm in his mom's presence. Just like everyone .

Empress and She went to his room .

" I heard you are going to changan "

" yes mother "

" why don't you bring a maid with you ?"

" I don't need to bring any "

" then who will cook for you?"

" I can buy "

" what if it doesn't suits you ?"

" I can cook , don't forget that. "

" I know that you can cook but.."

" no buts. I am going only with Jein and mom , I know your concern . She's safe ."

" mm" empress eyes filled with tears .

" mom !" Prince sha hugged his mother.

" everything is fine .if you stop worrying , I will tell you a secret "

Empress wiped her tears ," secret ? My son has a secret ?"

Empress asked mockingly .

" why can't I have secrets?"

" of course . A man at his twenties having secrets is understandable " said his mother with a smile and mock .

" shoot "

" I may meet your future daughter-in-law " Prince Sha said looking st the floor with shyness spreading over his face.

The empress laughed loudly.

" my son is blushing! "

" mo-m "

" don't forget me when you see her and I will break your hands if you lay your fingers on her "

" mom ! Do I look like such kind of person ?"

" also you don't look like a person who would feel shy. But now ."

" fine. Stop it mother "

" did you packed all your things ?"

" yes ."

" be safe on your journey . You are the one boy I have "

" okay mom "

After speaking for sometime, the empress left and the prince slept with a warm heart .
