Year Nine of the Jiayuan Era
The Jiayuan Emperor, in the prime of his life, suddenly realized that his sons were all useless good-for-nothings, not one of them capable of shouldering great responsibility. He wondered, Could the fate of Zhao be at an end?
Just then, he saw his daughter, Princess Xiangning. Her eyes were bright and sharp, and her bearing was extraordinary. Among a group of listless princes, she stood out by far.
As it happened, the Grand Historian, who observed the stars, secretly told him, "The fortune of our dynasty may rest with the imperial princess."
The Jiayuan Emperor narrowed his eyes.
In Year Nineteen of the Jiayuan Era, the princess's son was born. He was named Su Zican, and looked just like his mother.
The child was born in winter, when the capital was blanketed in snow.
Suddenly, wonders filled the sky and earth. The sun cast forth multicolored rays. A phoenix, seen only once in a century, held a lian-shi fruit in its beak and perched in the parasol tree on the Golden Terrace. Buds appeared on every tree, blossoming all at once.
Some said that an immortal from the heavens must have descended to undergo a trial.
No one knew that the princess's child had been born at the Grand Historian's residence in the south of the city.
Nine years later, the emperor finally remembered his grandson. He was made a prince of the commandery and summoned to the palace to be raised alongside the other imperial grandsons, all of them gazing up at the supreme throne.
Yet he was a grandson through the female line, and was destined to have no chance of competing with the imperial grandsons for the position of crown prince.
In the depths of the night, Su Zican sometimes glimpsed a fox smiling at him from behind the throne, telling him, "It is the will of Heaven."
But when he turned around, he saw the Jiayuan Emperor's deep-set eyes and the fox pelt in his hand...
Happy ending. The gong is a spirit fox who can foresee the will of Heaven.
Su Zican: Hey, I found a fox~(￣▽￣~)~
