PRECIOUS PRINCESS

FORTY SIX

He could laugh in satisfaction as he recalled the faces of Xiao Xi and her man.

"Gosh how funny their expression was, I should have been mocking them both hahaha often" he then laughed endlessly.

••••

Xiao Lan was training the soldiers that the crown prince had given him. He trained them all mercilessly. They called the training that Xiao Lan had given him a training to hell.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Tomorrow we will continue again" Xiao Lan said ending their training.

He then went to clean his body and change his clothes. Upon entering the dinner hour he was asked by the emperor's emissary eunuch to have dinner in the palace's dining room.

"What am I going there for? If he invites me then he should come alone. It is very impolite to invite a princess like me to use eunuchs" Xiao Lan said staring intently at Eunuch An in front of her,

Eunuch An's forehead started to sweat coldly due to Xiao Lan's sharp gaze,

"Well, I will say to the emperor" he said,

"Well, go there" Xiao Lan said again,

Eunuch An immediately left from there and met emperor Xiao who was already waiting in the dining room.

"Excuse me, your majesty" said eunuch An then saluted, emperor Xiao only nodded then asked, saying,

"Where's Xiao Lan? Why isn't he coming with you?"

"Notwithstanding the thousand mercies of the emperor, Xiao Lan's daughter would not have come if you hadn't invited her yourself" said eunuch An,

"Didn't I invite him through you eunuch?" the emperor again,

"I mean the servant of the second princess wants you to invite her directly to her residence" said eunuch An explained,

Emperor Xiao took a breath, though,

"All right, I'll be there"

He stood up and walked out of the dining room. Princess Xiao Xi and empress Juan were very upset that they were already hungry but they had to wait for Xiao Lan first.

After walking some distance the Xiao emperor finally found the Xiao Lan residence already before him.

tok tok tok sound of the door being knocked on,

"Honor the servant of the emperor," said Aunt Fu who saw emperor Xiao in front of her,

Emperor Xiao nodded then his footsteps walked into the worn-out door but was immediately prevented by Aunt Fu.

"Sorry, my majesty, princess Xiao Lan will not allow anyone to enter here except for my servant and Taoist guard, guard Tae and also the third prince" said aunt Fu lowered her head,

"But,"

"Sorry, your majesty please respect the rule of the second princess" said Aunt Fu again,

"Alright, now get Xiao Lan's daughter. Tell him I'm ahead" said emperor Xiao resigned,

"Okay, but the princess is taking a bath. Maybe in a few minutes he just came out, I'm sorry to go in" said aunt Fu after the emperor allowed her to go inside,

It had been forty-five minutes that Emperor Xiao was waiting for Xiao Lan, his legs began to ache he decided to sit in the gazebo that was in Xiao Lan's residence. Just as his butt was about to land perfectly on the gazebo, Xiao Lan's cry was already heard in his ear.

"Where is he? He said he came here" Xiao Lan told An's eunuch,

Emperor Xiao immediately turned around and met a voice in front of the jasmine residence. Xiao Lan had already given the name of the residence the jasmine residence because she thought that jasmine was small in size and pure white in color, just like the future even though small he will always keep his cleanliness to keep it clean and furthest from negative things.

"Lan'er let's go" said emperor Xiao involuntarily,

"Who do you call Lan'er? Where are you going?" said Xiao Lan ketus,

Emperor Xiao grimaced, he remembered that he should not mention Xiao Lan by Lan'er's call.

"I'm sorry" he said,

"I mean princess Xiao Lan let's go to the dining room because we've been waited for by the imperial members to eat there" said emperor Xiao softly,

"I didn't ask them to wait for me" Xiao Lan said,

"I'm the one who asked them to wait for us" Emperor Xiao smiled,

"Curtain" Xiao Lan simply scoffed then walked ahead of them,

Only half of Xiao Lan's journey had stopped.

"Xiao Lan why did you stop? We have not yet reached the dining room" asked emperor Xiao in surprise,

"I'm tired from this morning training soldiers not to get nutritious food and then still be told to go so far" he said, annoyed,

"Xiao Lan" emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Lan with a look of guilt,

"Let me carry" said emperor Xiao finally,

"I've told you I don't want to be carried by strangers, let me rest here for a while. You go out there and eat with your happy family first" he said, then sat on the floor,

"Second daughter" said eunuch An surprised,

"Not worry like that, I used to sit on the floor like this and even sit while being whipped even though I did nothing just a small accusation I was punished when no one knew the truth" he said a slight glance at Emperor Xiao,

Sure enough Emperor Xiao lowered his gaze, he did not dare to look at Xiao Lan. He felt very guilty about the boy.

"It's fun to torture your inner emperor of justice" his inner self while grinning, grinning,

Xiao Lan squirmed her body,

kretek kretek like the sound of bones clashing with each other,

"Ahh, the leg" he said, he,

"Sorry princess, maybe next time you have to be in the noble personality class" said eunuch An,

"No way" Xiao Lan said curtly,

"But the princess, the behavior of a princess must reflect elegance in doing various things" said the eunuch,

"My personality is like this, it can't be changed. I want to be myself without a lot of eunuch rules An, actually I want to be a commoner in order to act without thinking about the elegance and scorn of society" he said languidly,

"But it is your destiny to become a princess so you must be able to be as graceful as a princess" said eunuch An kekeuh,

"My destiny is to be a wasted princess huh? Hahaha" Xiao Lan then laughed gigglingly,

Emperor Xiao directly carried Xiao Lan, he could no longer bear to hear Xiao Lan's words piercing his heart.

"What are you doing stupid?"

"Down me asshole!"

"I'm not paralyzed!"

So surprised Xiao Lan immediately pulled out various curses from her mouth she also did not realize who was holding her.

"Emperor of justice where you are, look at this outcast princess taken. You must be happy" he said annoyedly,

"What do you mean?" emperor Xiao then looked at Xiao Lan's face questioningly without lowering her sling,

"It turns out that the one who kidnapped me was the emperor of justice, put me down. I can walk on my own, you better hold your first daughter who you are proud of" Xiao Lan said trying to get off Emperor Xiao's sling,

Emperor Xiao further tightened his carriage he immediately walked towards the dining room which was not far away anymore.

The soldier who was in front of the dining room door immediately opened the door when he saw Emperor Xiao coming.

"Hail your majesty" they lowered their heads and as usual only responded to a nod from emperor Xiao,

Emperor Xiao then sat Xiao Lan's body on the seat that was near the third prince's seat.

"Why are you being carried like that Lan'er are you sick?" ask Prince Zhan for attention,

"I'm fine" he said, smiling,

Princess Xiao Xi was furious that Xiao Lan had come with emperor Xiao in her arms, she was afraid that emperor Xiao would be more affectionate towards Xiao Lan than her.

"It's big still carried" he said slowly but sounded very sniffy,

"Maybe his leg was broken so here for a long time" the empress's chimpanzee did not lose,

Xiao Lan and the others could hear that he just smiled then said,

"Maybe it is one way of penance of a father to his son. Didn't you from childhood always get his affection even every day carried by him? Only once in my life have I felt that I was being carried by the man you call your father and it felt like nothing special. Why was I so stupid always whining for a sling to him"

Xiao Lan was of course lying, he felt there was warmth when emperor Xiao carried him he thought that it was the reaction of the real Xiao Lan's body, not her.

"But I'm grateful I was never carried by him because I could feel the very comfortable shoulders of Uncle Tao and Uncle Tae. They are my real fathers"

"My leg isn't broken, nor do I know why she's suddenly carrying me. Maybe his leg was broken so it took him a long time to walk here" he said, glancing at Empress Juan,

Xiao Lan was indeed good at making everyone shut up not even move at all. He then chose to take food in front of him without caring about the people who were still pensive.

"Xiao Lan, you mustn't eat before the emperor starts" the queen mother said in a different tone from the day before,

"I have already eaten, it is not good if the rice that is in front of us is left alone" he said casually while eating his food again,

"It seems true said eunuch An, you must join the noble personality class for tomorrow" emperor Xiao said,

"It seems right I said I shouldn't have attended this happy family dinner" he said, drinking and not continuing his meal,

He stood up and wanted to leave the place but his hand was blocked by the second prince.

"Where are you going? Our meal is not finished yet" said the second prince,

"I want to leave or I want to disappear in the earth swallow it's none of your business the second prince" Xiao Lan replied, she then looked at prince Zhan and showed him her hand that was blocked by the second prince, she said,

"Let go of my brother's hand" said Prince Zhan coldly,

The second prince who realized the situation had already worsened immediately let go of his hand.

"Remember emperor Xiao, you have no right to rule Xiao Lan's life because she has had her own life since you no longer consider her" prince Zhan said staring intently at emperor Xiao,

The two of them then left the dining room without saying a word. Emperor Xiao fell back silent he was already not having a taste for food, it was very difficult to persuade Xiao Lan to come here but the effort was thwarted by herself.

He also left without saying a word.

Xiao Xi and Empress Juan grew increasingly furious with Xiao Lan they were eager to eliminate the child as soon as possible.

"You meet him quickly, I'm very angry with the boy" consort Juan whispered to her son,

"Alright mother I also want her to vanish immediately" Xiao Xi replied,

"Remind her not to do anything to her body, just let her eat poison so we don't get caught" recalled Queen Juan,

"Good mom"
