Where Can I Find a Parasol Tree?

Please keep in mind that this is a historical romance, so How could it be complete without an emperor, that occupation unique to a feudal society? So the emperor, who was already in his thirties, waved a grand hand and declared, “I shall make an appearance! I shall speak! I shall bestow a name!” What does it mean when the emperor personally grants a name to a minister's child? If the child is a boy, he'll grow up rich and powerful. If the child is a girl, she'll grow up to be a consort or empress. The promising young Lord Su sat by the pond at his residence, sighing deeply. “It's all this education's fault! If I weren't so learned, the emperor wouldn't have taken a liking to me and singled me out as a future in-law. Sigh, what am I going to do if my daughter can't hold on to the Crown Prince, her ticket to a bright future, when she grows up?” So Lord Su looked at his reflection in the water. After a long while, he nodded with satisfaction. “There's no need to worry. With a father like me, my daughter is bound to be born beautiful.” And so the future of the newborn Miss Su, still too little to do anything but cry for milk, was settled by two bored men. She can't object yet, of course, and she won't be able to later, either. After all, one of those two “bored men” is the emperor himself! But can a childhood betrothal really be trusted? The answer... is unknown.
