PRECIOUS PRINCESS
THIRTY-SIX
"No need, let him finish his business first we wait here" Emperor Xiao told the eunuch An and others,
•••
The smell of grilled meat seemed to gush from the kitchen in Xiao Lan's small hut. The imperial people who had not had breakfast. They suddenly felt hungry when they did not feel it as well as Emperor Xiao he dariitadi sipped his saliva when he smelled the burnt flesh inside Xiao Lan's hut.
The eunuchs observing the hungry-looking emperor's face became confused as their food supplies were left at the border of the demon forest which was of course guarded by some soldiers.
Kasim then spread his gaze he saw smoke billowing from behind the hut he was walking around there.
When he got there he could see Xiao Lan with the three people who had always accompanied him was eating grilled meat. The meat seemed to be very good to see from the aroma and some pieces of meat that were still slightly pink in color.
"Daughter Xiao Lan, please share your food with the emperor because he is also hungry" said the eunuch,
Xiao Lan stopped her activities for a moment,
"Then what my problem, my punishment here is still a month I also did not ask him to come here he is also not my guest so I have no obligation to serve him" he said and continued his eating activities,
"Princess servant please, have mercy on Emperor Xiao from yesterday he has not eaten"
"What is the reason I should pity him? Wasn't he the emperor who had everything?" tanyanya sarcasm,
"Second daughter, please"
"You're so noisy! I want to eat quietly with my family, don't you have any manners, huh?" snapped at Xiao Lan because she did not like the forcible eunuch An, as she did,
He then arched his feet violently towards the front yard of his hut,
"Emperor Xiao" he said furiously,
The person called looked towards the voice that called out to him,
"Do you really have no shame in asking for food to the child you've thrown away?" tanyanya pressed,
"What do you mean?"
"I'm looking for my own food and you want to ask for it? Even in the palace I never did you feed emperor Xiao properly"
Emperor Xiao's heart ached over Xiao Lan's remark that she had never given Xiao Lan a proper meal but that was the fact.
"What are you talking about?" ask again in wonder,
"See your eunuch" he said lazily,
Emperor Xiao looked at Eunuch An asking for an explanation,
"I never told you to do that eunuch" said emperor Xiao, his jaw starting to harden he then looked at Xiao Lan,
"I didn't tell Eunuch An to do that, Lan'er" he said again,
"Don't call me Lan'er we're never close, don't try to find my sympathy!" said Xiao Lan then went back inside regardless of the various gazes directed at her,
Emperor Xiao stared at Xiao Lan's back wryly, he didn't expect the child who used to be so timid and gentle to turn into this.
It had been two hours since Xiao Lan's return to the hut but there was no sign of her going out the eunuch and the others began to worry they were afraid that Xiao Lan would not return while the emperor was still waiting patiently.
"Emperor, how about I call the second princess out?" ask eunuch An, please,
"Just wait for him to come out, don't bother him anymore"
After half an hour they waited again Xiao Lan came out of her hut. He wears hanfu with the best quality and does not forget his veil uncle and aunt also wear clothes with the best quality.
"Well you're still here as it turns out, how could you leave such an important guest to pick up a useless child like me, emperor Xiao?"
Emperor Xiao still did not budge nor answer Xiao Lan's question. He was still paying attention to the clothes worn by the four people,
"Where did you get Lan'er's clothes?" ask emperor Xiao, please,
"I told you never to call me Lan'er! You just ruined my mood" Emperor Xiao who heard that his heart was pinched, he used to say that to Xiao Lan whether it felt this painful, as he said,
"I'm sorry" said emperor Xiao, everyone there looked directly at emperor Xiao with a strange look not usually an emperor Xiao would apologize except to the other emperors,
While Xiao Lan simply remained silent and folded her two hands in front of her chest,
"I got this shirt from my own efforts. I was with my uncle and aunt selling everything we got in this demon forest" Xiao Lan said as he was because he had indeed bought it with his own efforts whereas the gifts from the Li empire he only used while he was there.
"Oh yes the old clothes that you gave me I threw because it was very inappropriate for someone to wear but I save some to remember my efforts from wearing shabby clothes like a beggar to wearing nice clothes like royalty like this" he said with a cynical smile,
Emperor Xiao's heart was again pinched, he could only stare at Xiao Lan with a wistful glance,
"Let's go home" said emperor Xiao,
