This event was incredibly sensational at the time. From then on, the story that the Empress was the nation's lucky star spread more and more, truly becoming a household topic.
Later, when the Empress was pregnant and gave birth to the Eldest Princess, auspicious clouds surged, and a phoenix flew in, singing in the skies.
Soon after, a hermit arrived. Upon a single glance at the newborn Eldest Princess, he laughed heartily and declared her fate: A Goddess descended from the heavens, a blessing to the entire nation!
The Emperor was overjoyed, granted amnesty throughout the land, and reduced taxes for three years.
Half a year later, the Second Princess was born, causing hardly a ripple.
However, when the Eldest Princess was five years old, the Emperor was assassinated, and the Empress died saving him.
The Eldest Princess was heartbroken, and the nation mourned for three years.
