PRECIOUS PRINCESS

FORTY

"I'll reward you with a bunch of fucking kids" Empress Juan's inner self as she flashed her dislike gaze to Xiao Lan,

•••

The atmosphere became awkward ever since Empress Juan and princess Xiao Xi were punished in the palace hall during a meeting between emperors.

"What are you all talking about until your face becomes frustrated like that?" chirp Xiao Lan broke the awkwardness that was happening,

"Daughter Xiao Lan, you better get out of the meeting hall because your business is done" said a general from the Xiao empire,

Xiao Lan did not listen to the general's words, instead choosing an empty seat that was near the seat of emperor Wang. He also ate the food that was on the table.

"No, I've been sitting like I'm too tired to clean the hall" he said, chewing food in his mouth,

"Xiao Lan, stay away from that place you are disrespectful" Emperor Xiao said,

"Indeed I'm not polite from where? I'm sitting like you guys aren't sitting at the table trying to explain my disrespect" she asked with a frowning forehead,

"Xiao Lan don't you know who's next to you?" ask Emperor Xiao once more,

"I'm not going to meet everyone who is here for the first time" he said casually and his hand was still picking up various foods in front of him,

"He is the emperor Wang, Xiao Lan" the emperor Xiao said,

"Oh, emperor Wang" Xiao Lan was actually recalling what that name was because he had heard the name of emperor Wang, as if he had heard of the name of emperor Wang,

Plukk *food sounds dropped,

Xiao Lan gaped as she looked at emperor Wang who was beside her. Everyone who was there was was was and was also happy that Xiao Lan was finally able to be aware of her mistake.

"You are emperor Wang?" his question made sure that was reciprocated by the nod of the head of the person he was asked,

"Damn I think he's a prince because his face is still very handsome and young" Xiao Lan said,

"Uncle do you know I idolize you very much, you are the one with the highest energy among all the people on this land right? Why are you so great, uncle?" said Xiao Lan with sparkling eyes,

"Because I often practice eating I can be strong like this" Emperor Wang said then he patted Xiao Lan on the head,

"Uncle emperor is what are you talking about until your face has no such spirit of life?" xiao Lan asked a second time,

Emperor Xiao somewhat disliked seeing Xiao Lan's interaction with emperor Wang who was too familiar too soon even when with him he had never uttered as many words as he was today.

"The whole empire is being hit by a caterpillar outbreak already every year we have had meetings but until now we still can not find a solution to eliminate the outbreak"

"Oh, how to get rid of caterpillars is easy. You all just put plants that smell pungent like lavender and basil around the harvest plants. You can also spray it with onion-soaked water and the chili may take about a week for the caterpillar to disappear" Xiao Lan said with a mouthful of food,

"Don't joke Xiao Lan" said imperial crown prince Xiao,

"Why am I kidding, don't you know where I live the crown prince?" he said smiling cynically,

"I don't care if you believe it or not what matters is that I've come up with a solution unlike you that's just silent and has no idea what crown prince Xiao Gui is" he turned his cynical smile into a mocking smile,

"You should respect what others say, whether it be men or women or even commoners, not even underestimate it that way" he still smiled mockingly at the crown prince,

Everyone there was again made silent by Xiao Lan's words.

"There is no harm in us trying to propose princess Xiao Lan than we are not moving at all to resolve the issue of this plague" said Prince Wang Tian, he is indeed an open person on any suggestion even if it does not make sense at all,

"Right, there's no harm in trying. Princess Xiao Lan will you show us how to deal with the caterpillar?" ask the Tang emperor,

"Well" he said, and then stood out from the hall without a word or without any respect,

After they were done they all passed through a tree that had many caterpillars. Previously Xiao Lan had prepared the water soaking chili and onion. He then poured the water earlier into a tree that occupied many caterpillars earlier.

"You have to water it every day until the caterpillars are completely gone. Do you remember the number of caterpillars that were here? In two days we will be back here again and we will see the results" Xiao Lan said flatly

He then handed the rest to the locals so they could figure out how to deal with this caterpillar outbreak.

Two days later

"Greet the emperors and princesses" said the residents as the nobles entered their area,

"How have caterpillars here started to diminish?" xiao Lan asked without further ado to the residents there,

"In answer to the princess, caterpillars here have been reduced by approximately a quarter of everything" said one resident who seems to be the elder there,

"Good, keep doing what I said maybe in a week the whole caterpillar here is gone" Xiao Lan said, heading towards the tree she had watered two days ago,

"Look, the caterpillar on this tree has been reduced by half than it was yesterday" Xiao Lan pointed to the tree beside her,

Suddenly all the princes and emperors who were there looked at the tree earlier and sure enough the caterpillar in the tree was not as much as it was two days ago.

"True, Xiao Lan's daughter you are so talented that you can solve the problems that have plagued this land for many years" said emperor Wang,

"Ah uncle could have been" he then patted Emperor Wang's arm shyly,

Aiih everyone there held their breath how Xiao Lan could be that brave to emperor Wang.

"Hahaha, you are so adorable Xiao Lan for sure if my daughter meets you you you can get along right away" Emperor Wang said,

"Certainly uncle? Then bring him here once in a while" Xiao Lan said,

"If you're the only one playing into Wang's empire, I'll take you there with open arms"

"Good uncle"

____

"Thank you to all the emperors for taking the time to attend this year's meeting here. Zhen would like to invite you in person to attend Zhen's birthday celebration in two weeks" Emperor Xiao said, concluding the meeting,

"Of course we will try to attend the event and will come here again" said one of them,

Emperor Xiao as well as the princes and Xiao Lan then escorted them all to the front of the gate and accompanied the departure of all of them.

Xiao Lan carried them away cheerfully. It was for everyone who was in the car.

Little information of Li's empire would have overcome the plague first because Xiao Lan was still there when the plague struck so that only the imperial crown prince Li was sent to the meeting of the emperors in the Xiao empire.

Xiao Lan also asked the Li empire not to provide any information regarding the development of the plague in their area.
