an au where Ah Jin married Li Shimin and had Chang Ge, where she wasn't used as a political pawn. Either way Chang Ge is doted by Li Shimin andis still the kickass princess we know and love.
*10/4/2015- Somehow FF thought it'd be a great idea to delete some of the words on this chapter and probably the others too. I'm sorry for that I only caught it now and not updating at all these past couple of months.
Scary Mother
"So you wish to court my Chang Ge?" Ah Jin asked while looking down at her long perfect manicured nails before glancing to the Khitan in front of her. Ashina Sun- ever since the alliance between the two for matters that did not concern the mother of one of the most prominent strategists in all of China was always with her daughter, which greatly befuddled the empress of the Hans.
Staring at the warrior the beautiful blonde woman gestured to a nearby servant to bring her- her persuasion kit. Hastily the servant scattered to find the kit in her private quarters while Ah Jin leisurely smiled and begun her questioning, "What makes my little one so attractive to you? Her position as the royal princess? Her skills as a strategist and swordswoman? Her unique and sometimes insane personality? Do tell."
"Not to sound cliched, it's everything about her. Her free spirit, her cunning ways that has saved my life and those I care about in so many ways, and most of all her ability to make me see reason. If it weren't for her I'd be long dead in the plains one way or another. She is what I want- no what I need by my side... So I would like your permission to court Chang Ge, empress Jin." Ashina Sun requested to the current empress of the Tang dynasty.
Ah Jin tilted her head, "Is that it? Is that all she is to you, Ashina Sun?"
"No. words cannot describe what I feel for your daughter."
"Infatuation? A simple crush? Is this misplaced love out of debt? Knowing that she'll have to marry for an alliance from another tribe? How about love, Ashina Sun?" Ah Jin pressed on as the servant came back with a medium sized wooden box.
"It's more of a intimate partnership." Unlocking the latch to the box, Ah Jin opened the box revealing a set of bottles in even compartments. Taking a variety of bottles from the place, she poured it's contents into a larger vial. Swirling the liquid as she stared at it, the Empress said in a bored tone, "How intimate, Ashina Sun? Do tell carefully otherwise I'll have to call Shimmie."
Ashina Sun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the pet name for Emperor Li Shimin. "We've shared a few hugs and a kiss nothing that compromises her honor, Empress Jin."
Almost satisfied with the warrior's answer Ah Jin turned her eyes from the bottle to Ashina Sun's. With a curl of her red painted lips she smiled, "Good. Now I don't mind you courting Chang Ge, but..."
Ashina Sun straightened waiting for Chang Ge's mother's response while Ah Jin continued, "Don't push what you aren't needed or take for that matter. You seem like an honorable man, Ashina Sun, but if anything and mean anything happens to my little songstress. I will put this," The empress held up the large vial, "Into your wine, and you best pray to whatever wolf god that you come out of it..." Her eyes darted to below his stomach and back up to face almost to emphasize her point, "with one less of organ, are we clear?"
Ashina Sun stiffly nodded before the woman smiled happily knowing that her threat got to the falcon warrior with the slightly pale look on his face, and put her hands together, "Good, now how many kids are you planning on having after the marriage?"
When came time to leave Ashina Sun excused himself and slid the door behind him. Running his fingers through his hair the warrior sighed.
One person down. The rest of the palace to go.
