EPILOGUE

In the garden of Phoenix Palace, Empress Han Kana wore his yellow hanfu, his hair is simply tied, looking elegant and beautiful, he didn't look like he aged at all.

Behind him is their daughter 16 years old Ningning, holding the paper umbrella.

"Imperial Father? When it will finish? I'm so tired! I feel like my arms will drop at any time!" Ningning complained.

They were standing under a cherry blossoms tree, while Emperor Sunwoo painted them together.

"Just a little more, my princess is an all grown up lady and she always complain at me." He teases her but his hands still working on the brush.

"There! All done."

"Let me see!" Kana excitedly approach him, forgetting his image as a dainty Empress.

"Imperial Mother sometimes behaved as a kid, I can't believe it." Prince Jing came, carrying a tray of tea with treats.

"Oh, Does my eyes became blurry? Why does my prince serves me now? Do you need anything?" Kana teased him with a wide smile.

"Nothing much," Prince Jing hesitated.

"Are you sure?" Emperor Sunwoo asked him.

Prince Jing thought that he cannot keep this to his parents hence he opened up.

"This Prince knew for a fact that Princess Jinyu of Yuan is already my betrothed and This Prince also wanted peace like Father Emperor and Mother Empress, but This Prince cannot stop on liking Princess Suncha of Silla. What shall this prince do?" His face shows total confusion.

Emperor Jiwon and King Suppasit has a brother like relationship with his Father Emperor thus he does not want to create a feud against them and their Empire.

"Let me talk to them, you know that Empress Lin is quite open minded, Emperor Jiwon maintain his harem in total harmony and Queen Consort Nattarine is open minded as well. I'll message them to have a little gathering." Empress Han comforted him.

Thus that's what happened, years later, Crown Prince Jing ascended the throne as Emperor Jing, he is the only Emperor in the Era to have two Empress whom he equally love and cherish.

Empress Regent Jinyu, the daughter of Empress Lin and Emperor Ling, she is in charge of the court each time the Emperor is absent, or on his trip or at the battlefield.

While Empress Suncha, the daughter of King Suppasit and Queen Consort Nattarine is the one in charge in the harem, and the inner court.

She also manage the festive events and banquets while Empress Regent Jinyu focused on politics and court affairs.

There were no jealousy and envy in both women, Empress Regent Jinyu gave birth to a princess while Empress Suncha gave birth to a prince.

All of this happens by the guidance of Emperor Emiritus Jong Sunwoo and Empress Dowager Han Kana.

They raised them well, with full of love and respect.

Empress Dowager Han Kana was known as benevolent, kind and respected, his name was a known knowledge in all the continents.

All through that years, The Imperial Harem remained empty, Emperor Jong Sunwoo and Empress Han Kana lived and loved each other in harmony.

The ministers and officials ended up their pleadings to fill the harem because once they brought up the idea, the Emperor will punish them.

For example, they will be demoted, banished, exile, and the woman who they recommend will marry to another kingdom, hence they give up the idea of pushing another woman to the Emperor

Many years has passed, Great Jong Dynasty still prosper and even become more well known throughout the continent and the rest is history, it has been written by a famous historian in the Jong Dynasty That Empress Han Kana is actually a male hence he is the First Male Empress in the entire Ancient Siam.

The influence of the Imperial Family reach on every nook and cranny of the modern South East Asia, the lives of the common people can be compared to the lives of noble people, it felt like in Jong Dynasty of Siam, no one is poor.

Everyone has the same opportunities, jobs, and there were even gender equality.

It has been known that people of Silla specially their boys has the ability to get pregnant hence they are respected as equal as a woman.

Kana's businesses grew and it has branches in any Empire, like Yuan and Silla, in fact, Empress Lin and Queen Consort Nattarine were his investors.

Minister Kim became Prime Minister right after Minister Song was remove in his position while Seokjin replaced him as the Minister of Health, they have two children as well.

Jeon remained a cute and little wife of Commander V, he stayed in their manor and opened up a tea house by the help of Empress Dowager Han. His tea house became the meeting place of noble ladies.

V and Jeon had five children.

Yoongi and Jimin ended up being together as well and their sons became the primary guard of Emperor Jing and his sister, the new Empress of Yuan, Empress Ning the only daughter of Empress Dowager Han Kana and Emperor Emiritus Jong Sunwoo.

Under the old cherry blossoms tree, Kana sat with Sunwoo, they are happily chatting about their past experiences.

"Do you believe me now that I indeed removed the grasses in your gardens? See.. If I didn't took the initiative to remove them from roots to tips, we won't have a peaceful and progressive Empire." Empress Dowager Han Kana said lovingly as he look at the man he loved.

After long years of marriage, they are still together, the love they felt still bloom like the cherry blossoms above them.

"My Empress is indeed the best, this is because of all your hard work." Emperor Emiritus Sunwoo laugh and kiss his forehead.

They were now old and wrinkly, long gray hair cascades on their back, flowing against the wind but the sparks of their love remains the same as if they were still young.

"What if, tomorrow I will go back to my world?" Empress Dowager Han Kana said, out of the blue.

"Then I will beg the Gods so I can be with you again." Emperor Emiritus Sunwoo hugged him tight, "We were together for a long time but I felt like it isn't enough."

Kana nodded softly, "No matter what Era we were, I will still love you."

"The dragon always follows his Phoenix so I will follow you." Sunwoo said kissing his forehead.

Kana held his hand, feeling the warm flowing in his heart, he transmigrated in this ancient time, he found a new family, friends and his true love.

No matter what Era they were, Kana will always be, THE EMPEROR'S PHOENIX.
