PRECIOUS PRINCESS

SIXTY TWO

"Alright, Zhen believe. You can attend Zhen's birthday with the nobles" Emperor Xiao said.

The man nodded in satisfaction. Today's event is over and will continue tomorrow.

•••

The next day everyone had already regrouped in the main hall after they filled his stomach.

"Zhen thank you for joining all of you in the archery and martial arts match yesterday. Zhen also apologized for many being injured while attending the event. The next event is we will do camp for three days and two nights in the kako forest and we will hunt. Whoever can hunt the most animals will get a reward from Zhen" Emperor Xiao said.

The kako forest was a forest to the east of the Xiao empire. Cocoa forest is one of the forests that is very safe for a stay like this even more so for the nobles.

"Zhen had also hidden something very valuable there. If anyone can find him then he can ask for any reward to Zhen but not for the throne and a small piece of territory in this empire" he said, which left others chuckling.

"Sorry emperor, if you may know what you're hiding in the woods?" ask Prince Tang Yi.

"You remember I got a guarantee from Z in the form of an orchid dimensional necklace? That's what I'm hiding. And you Z, you can't come looking for it if only hunting you can do it" Emperor Xiao pointed to Z.

Z just nodded. He knew the emperor must have thought that if Z came looking for the dimensional necklace he would easily find it because he had memorized the aura in the necklace. But the truth is no one knows, right?

The entire group went out to the palace courtyard. The princes immediately rode on the prepared horses while the princesses used horse carriages.

Xiao Xi set her foot towards the horse carriage that looked the most luxurious and different from the others. He guessed that the carriage had been specially prepared for him by his father because indeed all the chariots and horses here Emperor Xiao provided it. Then he entered the car.

Soon Xiao Lan also entered the horse carriage as she was forced by Wang Yu Yan to take the horse carriage with her. Yu Yan said if he only needed to get inside the horse carriage which looked different from the others whereas Yu Yan was now still talking with his gege.

He then entered into a horse carriage which he thought had a different decoration from the others. He then opened the curtain and how surprised he was when he saw Xiao Xi who was inside there. He went back out and looked at the whole horse carriage in the courtyard of this palace.

"Only this train has a different ornament to the others" he murmured.

Xiao Xi let out her head and smiled mockingly.

"You can't ride this chariot because it's been specially prepared by my father for me" he said, shouting a little so as to provoke the attention of some nobles.

"Ohh, I think this is Yu Yan's horse carriage" Xiao Lan said lazily.

Wang Yu Yan then came to meet Xiao Lan who was still not getting into the carriage that was in front of him.

"Why haven't you gone inside yet?" tanyanya.

"Princess Xiao Xi said this was a horse carriage specially prepared for her. He said it was prepared by his father" Xiao Lan said indifferently with a slight shout.

"Princess Xiao Xi but that is my horse carriage. It was a horse carriage from the Wang empire and emperor Xiao already allowed me to bring my own carriage" Yu Yan told Xiao Xi.

"Don't make things up. Just say you two want to ride this train and I've said that this train has been specially prepared for me" he said still kekeh want to ride this train.

Wang Yu Yan patted his head. He was confused in what other way he told Xiao Xi that this horse carriage belonged to him. Suddenly emperor Xiao came with emperor Wang.

"Father" Xiao Xi said spoiled and only replied a nod by emperor Xiao.

"Yu'er why don't you get on your train? Soon we will depart" said emperor Wang gently while Yu Yan just stared lazily into the carriage.

Emperor Wang also looked towards the carriage following Wang Yu Yan's gaze as it turned out that there was already Xiao Xi inside there.

"You're going to be with Xiao Xi's daughter?" ask emperor Wang.

"No. I just want to be with Xiao Lan" he said as he shook his head.

"Princess Xiao Xi can you get out of the carriage because my daughter doesn't like you to be in there" said emperor Wang to the point because she doesn't like it if her son looks uncomfortable.

"Sorry, but this is a specially prepared horse carriage for me so it is better for princess Yu Yan to look for the carriage that is back there" she said in a polite tone.

"You're saying I'm stupid?!" cry Xiao Xi.

"Just ask your father" he said lazily.

It was seen that Emperor Xiao's eyes were starting to grow bigger. There's a flash of anger there.

"Xiao Xi is down right now!" said snapping.

"But dad"

"Down now!" snapped again.

Xiao Xi then got off the carriage. Emperor Xiao apologized to emperor Wang as well as to Yu Yan because of Xiao Xi's reckless manner.

The whispers then happen. The princesses and some princes talked about Xiao Xi's reckless and shameless mannerisms.

"Next time don't spoil your son too much because he thinks everything he wants can be obtained by relying on your name. Hey Xiao Xi you must follow my example that can achieve everything I want with my own hands not with the frills of your father's name" xiao Lan said before entering the carriage not forgetting with a mocking smile.

Emperor Xiao's heart was struck. He wanted to say sorry but his ego said he could not say that now in front of the other nobles.

While Xiao Xi already wanted to reply to Xiao Lan's words but her hand was instantly pulled by her father.

The entire crowd then walked towards the kako forest and passed through the center of the city. The march of the nobles towards the kako forest was like a parade, very crowded coupled with the prayers of the people for emperor Xiao and the other nobles.

"My ass is very sick, if this is how I prefer to walk" Xiao Lan snorted.

Wang Yu Yan who was next to him just chuckled.

"It's only the beginning, when we get there your legs and pelvis will feel so weak and sore that you will walk slowly. After all, this is not a modern world that has foam armchairs" he said.

Xiao Lan was still grumbling because the journey felt so long especially when she saw Wang Yu Yan who always laughed at her who was not used to horse carriages like in this era.

The train then stopped to mark their journey was over. As he exited the carriage Xiao Lan could see that there were already tents set up before him.

"On the left is a tent for the princes while the tent on the right is a tent for the princesses" said a eunuch giving understanding.

The princesses and princes immediately broke away. They entered the tent that had been prepared by the Xiao empire.

Xiao Lan and Wang Yu Yan chose the tent located at the very end. While there they had lost quickly to a woman who seemed to be under their age who looked to be sharpening her sword.

"Can we sleep here?" yu Yan asked politely as he knew that Xiao Lan would not say a word to something like this.

"Yes, I don't think there will be any princess who will sleep here" said the person.

"Are we bothering you?" asked Yu Yan again.

"No" he said briefly.

"Oh, yes introduce my name Wang Yu Yan you can call me Yu Yan and this is my best friend Xiao Lan" Yu Yan said.

"Of course I already know you. My name is Jiang Yuan the daughter of general Jiang Cheng" she said as she raised her head.

"Your face looks just like Yu Yan" Xiao Lan said spontaneously.
