One evening, 2 maids rushed for the birth of the future empress.. 2 hours later, they told the emperor

"Your Imperial Majesty, your daughter was born." said by one of the maids.

"Well then, I shall go to the imperial palace & look at the beauty of my own offspring, that I will always cherish" said the emperor.

The emperor had 1 empress & 6 concubines, but NO children. Finally, the empress became pregnant, after 6 years.

"What shall we name her, Your Imperial Majesty?"

"I shall name her Ichika, for the thousand flowers that bloom during her birth." said by the Emperor.

The empress is not happy that she gave birth to a daughter, not a son.

One night, the empress went to the Emperor & said

"I want a son, a warrior, and an emperor, not a daughter."

The emperor replied, with anger

"You will always be her mother & she will always be your daughter, How dare you despise her? She & only she..will be the son that i have always wanted."

The empress didn't reply...
