Everyone knows the talented people that Beifang posses.

They're famous because most of them are blessed with extraordinary abilities. They are considered as one of the precious treasures of the Kingdom and each one of them are showcased in front of the Emperor and to the whole other kingdoms.

Talents such as dancing, crafting, inventing, singing and many more.

Talented people who are proud and loves to share their gifts. The role models for the young generations.

Though famous, some of them still choose to stay out the limelight and continue to live their humble normal

lives.

Just like Niao Yeying, who sings so beautifully, every melody he makes are very enchanting. He always sings secretly on top of a big tree that grew close at the cliff's edge, just above the sea and below the Emperor's garden.

In there, he could wait for his father's returns from catching fishes.

It doesn't mean that Niao Yeying doesn't want to share his talent to the other people in the first place.

He is after all, a kind young man who's very generous to others. It's just that, he doesn't like crowds and to be the center of their attentions.

Yeying's father is a fisherman and all thanks to the heavenly god for giving them good fortune that they are blessed to have a lots of fishes. His father can provide for their daily needs. But sadly his mother's not around anymore because she died while giving birth to him. He is sad that he doesn't have a chance to be with her and even see her. How he wish to feel the warm

embrace of his mother, to be held by her and be loved by her, just how he is loved by his father.

Every time he ask his father of what his mother looks like. His father will smile warmly while looking at him with

teary eyes and will say "She's beautiful as you, My son." which will Yeying smile in return.

He don't mind that everyone's calling him beautiful even though he is a man because Yes, he looks so feminine rather than manly. So, why argue with that? But everyone knew that he is indeed a man and not some woman.

Meanwhile, the Emperor is still in the meeting with the Head of the Fishery at His study room while Niao Yeying is sitting in his lovely tree singing beautifully while looking at the wide clear blue seas.

The summer breeze brushes onto his pearl like face and softly blows his long shiny brown hair. He likes to sing

alone and have time for himself before his father arrive and needs his help in carrying and selling the fishes at the market.

Sitting on one of the branches he knows that he's perfectly well hidden behind by the thick tree's leaves. He is so sure that no one will ever see him.

But someone suddenly taps his shoulder, startling him which made him jump off from the branch. Thankfully, with his quick reflex. He lands on his two feet at the ground with ease. While slowly calming himself from the shock, he hears a familiar giggle coming from a woman.

"Aww. Yeying is always a scaredy-cat" Huangse giggled as she sits on the branch where Niao Yeying sits

awhile ago.

The pretty woman see how Yeying rolled his eyes "Huangse. You know, I don't like someone sneaking around behind me" he complains and pouted at her.

Huangse is his best friend since they were toddlers. She is bright, strong and pretty young woman. He loves

her as his big sister and she loves him as her own little brother but sometimes, she acts like a mother hen to

Yeying. She is older than him by two years and is taller than him by four inches. She is also one of the maids inside the palace and loves her work so much. She always enjoyed doing her

chores while gossiping with her fellow maids. And especially, sneaking glances to their handsome Emperor

when he's not looking.

Niao Yeying always likes to listen to Huangse's stories about the inner palace. How beautiful the place is and

how scary the Emperor can be. Well, he heard rumors that His Majesty is very selfish and scary when someone disrespected him. But Niao Yeying also heard the good deeds of the Emperor and how handsome the man. It's really unfortunate that he still haven't seen His Majesty in person. So, he will always listens to every detail of Huangse's stories and just

imagine how magnificent he looks like.

Huangse knows about Niao Yeying's talent and she is so proud for her best friend. At the same time, she's really disappointed when Yeying told her to keep it a secret.

They always argue with the matter but in the end, Huangse will give up and ends up promising that she will keep it a secret.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were working today?" Yeying asked while climbing up the tree once

again.

"Well, I was. But then I heard you sing. So, I came to see you. The servants and the maids quarter is very near

from here and you are just right below from his Majesty's garden" she answered while helping him climb up the tree and make him sits beside her.

It is a very short distance between where Yeying's tree situated and the Emperor's garden. Also, just a minute

walk of the woods then there would be an entrance door that leads to the servants and the maids quarter.

Yeying knows that it was very dangerous to be here but there's never been a time that anyone caught him

singing even the Emperor because he sings in a medium tone and thought, that his songs will not reach the Emperor's ear or anyone else which he is very glad to know.

"Yeying. Can you sing for me before I could go to work?" Huangse requests and which Yeying smiled.

"Of course. I will sing for you." He slowly parted his lips and blew a sweet melody with meaningful words.

Niao Yeying's songs continues to lingered throughout the place as Huangse close her eyes and enjoyed this very moment with her best friend sings for her.

However, on that very moment. The two persons didn't know that a fisherman on his boat who happened to pass by just below them heard the beautiful voice up above the cliff's edge near the woods.

He can't see the person who's singing and all he could do is to stop his boat from where he was and listen to the soft melody. It's very beautiful and enchanting so unlike the other singers he heard from the village.

After the song ended, he paddles to the shore quickly and run fast to the village. Telling everyone of what he

heard.

"This isn't a lie everyone! This afternoon while I was fishing. I, once happen to pass by the thick woods in front of His Majesty's garden up above. There, I heard a beautiful voice. It was heartfelt and enchanting. So beautiful that I have forgotten to continue fishing. Come with me tomorrow, and we'll together listen to the beautiful

voice." He proclaimes and everyone who happen to believe the man went with him again on the next day.

And at the same time on that next day, Niao Yeying sings once again on his lovely tree and he doesn't notice

that below, there's a bunch of people on their boats who had been waiting patiently to hear the mysterious

singer. Then as they have been waiting for, a soft melody echoes through the place.

Everybody heard it and everyone are staring the edges above them. Intently listening to the beautiful song and everyone were indeed enchanted by it.

Everyone praise it. That, the song is the most precious treasure they ever heard in their entire lives.

"It sings like a Nightingale." One person among them said out of the blue which everyone agrees.

Niao Yeying doesn't know that from that day. The people of Beifang named him as "The Nightingale

of Beifang".
