As the emperor walked into the room he saw his forty sixth consort ( consort xi), consort xi is a very beautiful woman, her beauty is unparallel within the five continents, she is regarded as the most beautiful woman among all the women in the five continents.
Her beauty was the only reason why he emperor took her in as a consort, he does not really care about her because she is not a talented elemental and her background was not impressive.
When she saw the emperor walking in, consort xi immediately got up from the comfortable bed she laid on looking tense,
" Greetings Lord husband "she bowed to the emperor,
"Rise" said the emperor. "Let me have a look at my son "
With that the emperor directly walked to consort xi yu taking the child away from her.
When he held the child, the emperor smiled and said "he really resembles me ".
Thinking of something the emperor said out "let me check which element he has affinity with".
Saying that he took out a transparent crystal like rock from a belt on his waist, if those high nobles of the holy emperor were here they would be shocked to know that the belt was a space belt which are virtually non-existent in the five continents.
Taking out the crystal like rock, he took a pin, using it to pierce a finger of the baby to draw blood. Due to the stimulation from the pain the sleeping baby was awoken and started crying.see her child crying due to being injured xi yu could not help but feel pained.
When the drop of blood made contact with the crystal, It was immediately absorbed by the crystal like rock.
Seeing this scene xi yu became tense because the result of this test is what determines she and her childs future.
Thirty seconds passed and no changes happened to the crystal , the emperor shook his head in disappoinment
"As expected not only is your talent in controlling elements trash, even your child is even worse, having to affinity with any of the elements, sigh! What a disappointment."
Hearing the emperor xi yu face lost all color , she knows that the emperor never cared about her because of her talent in controlling elements was very poor and her background was nothing important. She knew what would happen now that she has given birth and the emperor does not care about the child, her days in the palace will be nothing peaceful. She knows how she would be treated by the other wifes especially since they never liked her before due to her poor background, they see her as unworthy to be one of them and the fact which she is the most beautiful and spent the most time with the emperor made them even more jealous.
" Lord husband please no matter what he is still your son, even if he is not an elemental he can still b.... " she tried to plead with him but was cut off before finishing , " who said he is my child, I can never accept such a trash as an offspring or else I am going to be disgraced, this child is a stain to my name and the entire Bia clan", the emperor coldly said.
"That child you gave birth is not a part of my Bia clan so he will not bear my surname ,I cannot allow trash to tarnish the majestic name of Bia ", saying that the emperor walked out of the room .
Outside the room everybody was discussing in low voices, when the emperor walked out with a gloomy face, "your majesty how is she " asked a middle aged woman with a sincere expression, she is the thirty seventh consort of the emperor, Yao yue.
The emperor did not reply her instead he said " the matter concerning this child should not be announced to the public , do i make myself clear?"
Everyone found it strange concerning the order of the emperor, because in the past when any of his wives gave birth he would usually celebrate for days after announcing it to the public, because he has few children. But even if they still bowed and reply "yes your majesty " .
"Everyone disperse " said the emperor while walking away with a gloomy face.
Everyone left except for eight women in royal clothing, they are the emperor's consort . "Everyone i will go check up on xi yu" said Yao yue, with that she walked into the room , "everyone i will be checking up on xi yu too " said another woman, she is Bi qing another consort.
When Yao yue walked into the room what she saw was xi yu holding her child crying. She was surprised seeing the sadness displayed on her face and she knew it had something to do with the order of the emperor.
"Sister xi, how are you doing, how is your child?" She asked,xi yu still kept crying no answering her question
"what happened, why are you crying?" She asked again
"Hehehe, I think i know the reason why junior sister xi is crying, she must have given birth to a price of trash who has no elemental affinity " said Bi qing
" The emperor must have not acknowledged him as his child no wonder he refused for us to announce it to the public, because it would be a shame for his majesty to father that trash in her hands" replied another consort, her name is Bi Lian she and Bi qing are from the same family.
"Sister Bi you should not say something like this while sister xi is hurting, it's inhumane of you people to say things like that, even if the child has no affinity to cultivate any of the elements he is still human, why are you calling him trash?".
Yao yue knew that the other consorts don't like xi yu, they were jealous of her beauty, she is the only one of all the consorts who has a good relationship with xi yu.
Hearing what Yao yue said the two Bi family sisters snorted and left, see them leave the other consorts who had been quiet the whole time left with them.
See them leave Yao yue let out a sigh of relief, she knew they did not bicker with her because of her position as the mother of the number one genius in the imperial family as well as the whole of the holy empire and the central divine continent.
"Sister xi you should not think too much about it, I will speak to his majesty on you and your child behalf, maybe he will come to his senses and acknowledge him too as his child ".
"Is it my fault or my child's fault that he was born to be normal, how would his majesty punish our child like this?"said xi yu
Hearing her words Yao yue felt bitter, she knew what fate awaited xi yu and her child, but she does not want for xi yu to feel despair as that would affect her health and make her unable to take care of her child well.
"Sister xi don't think about that now focus on your child first, take this I brought it for you to help you relax" Yao yue said and gave her a pill bottle.
"Thank you" said xi yu, the palace maids feed and bathed her baby then put him to sleep.she took the pill then fell asleep to, seeing xi yu sleeping Yao yue couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh
"It's all up to your fate now" saying that she walked out of the room.
