PRECIOUS PRINCESS

FORTY-ONE

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

•••

Tired of Xiao Lan going back around the palace. While passing through a room he saw the servants were clearing a barrel of clay that they would either take with them.

"Do you want to be flanked by those barbs?" asked Xiao Lan,

"We're going to throw her away because these barrel-aged women are no longer needed here" said the waiter asked by Xiao Lan,

"Can I ask for some?" ask him expectantly,

"But what's the princess for?" ask the waiter again,

"Later you'll know, how can you not?" ask Xiao Lan again,

"Of course your daughter can take him, how much do you want?"

Xiao Lan could see that there were five large, three medium-sized barrel and six small-sized barrel.

"I want three large and small barrel and two medium-sized barrel"

"We'll take it there" said the waiter again,

"No, I'm waiting for you to finish" Xiao Lan said,

After about half an hour of waiting, the barrel was finally delivered to Xiao Lan's residence while on the road he accidentally crossed paths with Emperor Xiao and the crown prince.

The servants behind Xiao Lan saluted the two of them but Xiao Lan simply kept silent and watched her servant salute and then walked back to her residence again.

"Princess Xiao Lan why don't you pay your respects to the emperor?" asked the crown prince furiously,

Xiao Lan stopped her steps then turned to face emperor Xiao and crown prince Xiao Gui,

"Aren't there people who pay their respects to you?" tanyanya flat,

"Have you never been taught how to honor the emperor?" ask the crown prince again,

"No" Xiao Lan replied briefly, "No,

"Did your servant not know manners to the point that you were not taught to honor the emperor?" ask the cynical crown prince,

"Yes, because I do not have a servant by my side" he said this time in a cold tone,

"Well, you don't even acknowledge Fu's servants and the Tao and Tae guards who are by your side?" crown prince Xiao Gui said in a mocking tone,

"So what you say Xiao Gui! I don't have servants because of me the little ones who take care of me are just them. They gave me everything they meant more than anyone else in the world they were my real family and they weren't my servants" the gripping air began to stab everyone in the bone,

"And remember this I only pay my respects to people who treat me well if you don't get that without me explaining you must already know what that means, right?" he said by pressing every word that existed,

"Why are you all silent? Let's walk again" said Xiao Lan coldly who made them all follow her back,

Crown Prince Xiao Gui looked at Xiao Lan with a look of disbelief how could Xiao Lan be such a dissident.

"Dad" said he who was returned by his father, who,

"Just let him do what he wants to do" the emperor Xiao sighed and then stepped out his foot again,

At his residence Xiao Lan had asked the people who delivered his barrel earlier to return he also did not forget to say thank you to all of them.

"Lan'er, what do you want me to do, man?" ask aunt Fu astonished,

"Let's see aunt, oh yeah Uncle Tae can you get me some paint?" pinta Xiao Lan said,

"Well what I won't do for my little princess" said Uncle Tae chuckling as he stroked the head of Xiao Lan's head,

"Thank you uncle, I love uncle" Xiao Lan said, hugging Uncle Tae,

"Aunt Fu, uncle Tao let's embrace teletubbies" Xiao Lan told the two people behind Uncle Tae, they then scattered his arms to the two people who had hugged each other earlier,

Xiao Lan had indeed always said a teletubbies hug if she wanted to cuddle with the three people earlier and they also did not mind because they were so happy that Xiao Lan behaved like that to them.

All of those interactions could not be separated from the four pairs of eyes that were watching them from afar. The two people were emperor Xiao and crown prince Xiao Gui. Emperor Xiao's heart throbbed again considering that Xiao Lan was unwilling to touch whereas with his three servants he could be so close that he hugged for so long like that.

"Why father cries, usually he also does not care about the boy" his mind was confused,

Emperor Xiao continued to be there until Uncle Tae returned with the paint that Xiao Lan asked for.

"Thank you uncle" Xiao Lan said, hugging Uncle Tae briefly,

"Uncle enter first huh Lan'er" said Uncle Tae who was replied by a nod by Xiao Lan,

Xiao Lan looked at the barrel in his courtyard sparklingly,

STUNTWORK

He broke the barrel with his own hand because he did not find any small stones around him. His hands started to bleed fresh but he still continued his activity of breaking the barrel.

Emperor Xiao came out of hiding and held the bloody hand of Xiao Lan,

"What are you doing?" tanyanya looked at the red hand tucked a little worry there, there,

"Didn't you see it" Xiao Lan said indifferently then pulled the rough hand held by emperor Xiao, which he held,

He tore the hanfu and wrapped it around the bloody hand earlier. He continued his work by coloring the inside of the barrel he had broken.

After coloring he re-assembled some fragments of the barrel earlier in it. There were some barrel that he added soil and plants there were also those that he covered with glass on the shards earlier so that the useless barrel had become very beautiful.

"Perfect" he muttered and then he smiled with satisfaction,

He wanted to lift the barrel but because of its large size and bloody hands he was not strong enough to lift it.

"What are you doing?" xiao Lan said as emperor Xiao raised the barrel earlier,

"Zhen is only helping you" said emperor Xiao,

"Clearly" he said turning his eyes lazy he preferred to sit while emperor Xiao was busy moving the barrel assisted by the crown prince Xiao Gui,

"It's over, Xiao Lan" said emperor Xiao smilingly,

"Hmm" that was all Xiao Lan said he was lazy to say a word of thanks to the two of them,

Xiao Lan then filled the water to some barrel that he coated with glass he also added small fish there but there was also only one that he added water for hand washing purposes.

The once seedy and unkempt residence is now the most beautiful residence in the Xiao imperial palace. Although it was very small Xiao Lan could handle it to make this residence look comfortable.

"Uncle and aunt should see this for sure they are proud of me" Xiao Lan muttered faintly but could still be heard clearly by the emperor and the crown prince, both of whom were very proud,

"Daughter Xiao Lan have you not provided a drink to someone who has helped you?" ask the crown prince,

"It turns out that you helped me selflessly, you can take your own drink in the front palace right or just ask your shadow bodyguards who are in the tree" Xiao Lan pointed at the tree that was thirty steps ahead of her,

Of course the shadow bodyguards as well as the emperor and the crown prince were shocked because Xiao Lan could tell of their whereabouts.

"From here towards the front palace it was very far away Xiao Lan"

"Did you just know the crown prince? From childhood I always followed Aunt Fu to take water from the front palace I never complained like you when I was just a little boy whose footsteps were very short not a warrior who easily complains like you" he said cynically,

The crown prince only fell silent he looked back at Xiao Lan in disbelief.

"Even when I was exiled, I was given a hut a great distance from the river that might be three to four times the size of this residence to the main palace" he said a slight glance towards Emperor Xiao who was bowing his head,

"Go I'm done" he said, then entered his harem.

The crown prince and the emperor looked at each other there was a wedge in the hearts of the two of them for never treating Xiao Lan well.
