Chapter 5 - True identity  

After the family finished their breakfast, the emperor also known as the king 'Li Yan' sat on his throne, on his right hand sat the crown prince 'Li Yu Shuai' on the right sat the royal mother 'Li Chi' while the others sat in their seats.

"Where is Xie Ying? Since she left during dinner I haven't seen her," ask Li Junhai, the fourth prince, he's always with Xie Ying which makes his brothers think he won't learn anything well. 

"Why are you asking for her? I've told you several times that men are not supposed to be with women all day. What will a guy learn from a girl?" Li Xijiu the second prince ask arrogantly 

"Who says I'm wasting my time? She even knows what it takes to be a  gentleman better than you." Li Junhai's words were bombastic in Li Xijiu's ears. This little guy dares to compare him with a girl.

"You!" When Li Xijiu heard Li Junhai's words, he almost lost his breath and passed out. He was so angry that words struck his throne and was forced to swallow it down. 

While taking a youth came in wearing a spotless white robe his silver hair slicked down falling on his back and a side part swept to the side of his dark eyes like ink, handsome can't be used to describe him, even though it's a boy I prefer beauty. He's even more beautiful than a girl. Let's say he's an immortal descended from the heavens. Everyone was stunned watching the young walk towards them.

"Li Xie Ying. Oh, um, I mean Li Siyang" seeing Xie Ying's new appearance, Li Junhai was so excited that he was confused. 

"Father." Xie Ying pay respect to her father 

"Get up there's no need for that. I've spread the Information about our third prince in and out of the country, even in the palace." The king turned to his family members and introduced his third son. "This is Li Siyang, the third prince of the Rong kingdom" 

Emperor Li Simeon walked to Siyang and patted his head, and said with a smile "Good boy, well done. I'm sorry for the past fourteen years." In the past, Li Siyang's mother, Li Annchi, was extremely beautiful and was doted upon by him, the emperor. However, after a short while, Consort Li mysteriously died and insisted on Siyang being cross-dressed. At the age of seven (7) Siyang was known as Xie Ying was poisoned and his body became worse and worse. 

"Hi, I'm Li Siyang, nice to meet you. " His voice was too pleasant and attractive 

Her royal mother was stunned in her seat unable to move, her feet suddenly abandoned her by being weak. 

Lu Xijiu was stunned for a while and did not respond to what he was meaning.

"Did you just say Xie  Ying is Li Siyang?" After quite a while when Li Xijiu came to himself and asked.

The crown prince who has been silent this whole time Suddenly stands up "So Xie Ying has been crossdressing all this time? I mean how did we not know, it has been fourteen years." Li Yu Shuai has a mixed expression on his face, looking at him, it's difficult to determine what he's thinking.

"Of course dude, didn't you notice? First of all, in the family tree, there is no third Princess Xie Ying, but there was Siyang. I thought his Highness has an outside child, but looking at Xie Ying who doesn't mind what she wears, I doubt it. The other day I saw her give the clothes Royal Mother brought her to Huan in exchange for a black dye. I was startled, I mean why would a girl exchange her clothes for dye? Therefore  I decided to stick to Xie Ying to find out what was under her sleeves, not before she told me 'that wasn't away from a gentleman.' Well, it will take more than that to kick me off, as we get into winter I noticed Xie Ying's hair has colors in it, so when  Li Na brought the black dye I took it from her and bribed all the maids not to attend to Xie Ying for a day. By night I went into Xie Ying's room and saw a young man with red hair and red eyes reading a book. I was stunned for a moment and then walked towards the youth. 'So you are a boy?' That was my first reaction, he smiled and said 'Yes, I knew that's what you wanted to know, my name is Li Siyang the third prince of the Rong Kingdom. Can I have my dye back? I give him the dye, help him dye his hair black" Li Junhai paused his explanation, and pointed to himself proudly, "and I promise to keep it a secret."

Meanwhile, the Royal Mother was still sitting, her feet trembling deep in thought, after a while she smiled helplessly, "Yes, Li Annchi was the king's beloved wife, so why won't her child's name be in the family tree? I must have been a fool to think otherwise. Li Annchi, even after death you are still ruining my life."

She knew her husband loved Xie Ying's mother 'Annchi' so why didn't he put her daughter named in the family book, so it turns out to be a son. After Li Junhai was born, she went to look in the family tree (the family is the same as the family handbook where every member of the family name was written) When she looks at Junhai name, it has fourth prince writing next to it, but she didn't give it much thought at that time. 

Now is her time to worry, because this king sitting on the throne wasn't the crown prince. He was the third prince (Li Simeon) with five brothers, based on his talent and intelligence, his father made him the king, instead of the crown prince.

"Enough, have a seat." The King point to Junhai who was handing on Siyang

"Which school do you guys intend to attend this year?" 

"Illusory sea sect." Li Xijiu and Li Chang choose 

"That's a good choice " her royal mother compliment

"Royal Academy," Li Yu Shuai said

"Not bad either." his highness commented 

"Snow tower" Li Siyang choose 

"Joyful union sect "

"Yes Joyful union sect" Li Huan and Li Junhai chooses 

"Why aren't you going to 'snow tower' with Siyang?" Li Huan asks 

"I would love to, but I have two reasons not to. First, I don't like the cold. Second, I won't be accepted with my current cultivation level. " Li Junhai explained 

"You have from now to evening, think through your decisions carefully, it's not too late to change it. If there's nothing else, 'Snow tower examination will start in five days. Siyang can set out tomorrow morning. Your demise. Siyang you stay
