Unexpected events accompanied the birth of the prince . Traditionally speaking, the birth of a child with anomalies required the inspection from the Lord . Gu Xijiu was in the mood for it, so she attended .
Her first meeting with the child almost gave her a heart attack . The child was about two weeks old, lying comfortably in the arms of the nanny . Unlike most babies with wrinkled skin, his face was full of delicate features; he was indeed a beautiful baby .
He had a pair of very dark eyes . Their eyes met when Gu Xijiu bent down to take a closer look at him . Surprisingly, he pinched his little lips into a thin line and flushed crimson . He hid his face away, seemingly embarrassed . His look was familiar .
Gu Xijiu directed an audio message to him . "Rong Jialuo?"
The child froze momentarily . Then, he turned to look at her intensely . The look in his eyes surely did not come from an infant .
Gu Xijiu placed her finger gently on his nose . Under the glamorous seven-colored ray, she finally sensed the essence of his soul . It was Rong Jialuo . He had reincarnated and was born again into the royal family . If she was not mistaken, he would still be the eldest prince of the kingdom and would once again retrieve what he had lost .
Only this time, he returned with a different identity . Moreover, he carried his memories from his previous life . Rong Jialuo's death had always been a great loss for Gu Xijiu . She actually thought that his soul had melted away . To her surprise, he made his comeback .
No matter what, his return had brought great joy to Gu Xijiu .
"The child will have a bright future of extraordinary achievements," Gu Xijiu made her conclusion .
Such a compliment from The Lord came as a huge triumph to the emperor of the Feixing Kingdom . He bowed and requested for his name from The Lord .
Gu Xijiu then turned to look at Rong Jialuo . He was watching her fixedly with his small eyes . His lips moved a little, struggling to say to her, "Jialuo . " He wanted to be himself .
"The child very much resembles the late emperor . I shall name him Jialuo . "
The emperor was shocked . He was the younger brother of Rong Jialuo . When Rong Jialuo was still alive, he treated his younger brother with care . Indeed, the emperor missed him dearly .
If his child was named the same as the late emperor, would it be inappropriate? He told Gu Xijiu about his concern . She responded, "It does not matter . The name sounds the same but bears different characters . I name the child with the name, in memory of your late brother . "
If The Lord insisted, the emperor would not comment any further . He quickly named his son as Rong Jialuo and ranked him as the eldest prince of the kingdom . He also proclaimed a general amnesty to celebrate his birth .
The life of a common man seemed good, completed with the cycle of birth and death, and even reincarnation . Once reincarnated, one would have nothing to do with the previous life and start anew .
It was a rare visit from The Lord, so the emperor gave her a hospitable reception on her arrival . Many old friends and relatives joined the feast as well . It was a jolly gathering .
Seeing these familiar faces could not help but give Gu Xijiu a sense of emptiness . The place was bustling with life and excitement, but she could still feel a void as if something important was missing .
During the feast, the emperor asked if the Fucang Palace should be torn down for refurbishment . The emperor was, in fact, referring to the residence of Celestial Master Zuo when he talked about the Fucang Palace . Of course, he could not recall who used to reside there .
The Fucang Palace was nothing but an empty building now . The emperor of the Feixing Kingdom wanted to gift the palace to his official . However, Gu Xijiu was reluctant to give it away, for it somehow meant something special to her .
