The Last Queen of Peacelava

CHAPTER 11

They moved and arrived at the back of the palace garden. Just as they were about to enter the palace, Ji Nian caught the two of them and put his suspicions on the two. Feelings of worry, jealousy, and annoyance are mixed in it.

Ji Nian was eager to scold Zhang Pei, but he chose to hold him back because he knew Xin Qian's daughter would definitely be more defensive of Zhang Pei.

"Ji Nian, are you here?" ask Xin Qian.

"Daughter, everyone in the palace is looking for you, but you're not in the room. What are you doing with that demon here?" Ji Nian instead looked at Xin Qian then looked at Zhang Pei.

"Ji Nian, I just drove Zhang Pei to see the garden behind the palace. He's Grandpa Guru's new student, so I guess I should introduce him to the surroundings in the palace."

"But introducing the environment to new people is not your job, Princess. You can ask Dayang or Warrior to take him around the palace."

"What's the matter if it's princess Xin Qian who's driving me around looking through the contents of the palace? Xin Qian's daughter doesn't mind if she has to accompany me anyway."

"Why should master Lin have to make a demon like you his student?"

"Ji Nian, watch what you say! You mustn't talk to Zhang Pei like that. He is our guest who must be well served."

"I don't want to serve a demon like him. Princess, come with me!"

Ji Nian pulled Xin Qian's hand and led her in to meet the King. Zhang Pei just kept silent and stared at them.

"Daughter, I don't like to see you get too close to that demon. His blood is a disaster for you and this country."

"Ji Nian, I know if you don't like Zhang Pei, but please control your anger. You shouldn't have behaved like that to Zhang Pei. Although he has half-stealth blood, that doesn't mean he's an evil demon."

"Next time I don't want to see you behave like that to other people. You're the chairman of the Peacelavia palace, you should set a good example for others."

"Daughter, I just..."

Xin Qian left Ji Nian before Ji Nian finished her remark. On one side Ji Nian felt annoyed that Xin Qian was close to Zhang Pei, but on the other he felt guilty for making Xin Qian disappointed by his attitude.

"Xin Qian, are you here? I've been looking for you since. Where have you been?" asked the king of Arlo who was suddenly behind them.

"Ayahanda, I've been in the garden behind the palace ever since."

"What are you doing there?"

"Daughter, are you here? We're all worried about you" Master Pin walked over to them.

"Yes, Princess. We were very worried when we found out you were not in the palace" replied master Yibo.

"Master Yibo, master Pin, I'm now here and I'm fine. Can we have breakfast now?"

"Are you starving, Princess?" Master Chen joked.

"Come on, we're having breakfast now. Don't let this beautiful Princess hold back the hunger," master Lin replied with a laugh then stroked Xin Qian's head.

***

When they finished breakfast, Ji Nian walked up to Xin Qian to apologize. But at that time Xin Qian was about to go to the village to distribute some of the plantation products from the kingdom to the people.

King Arlo and princess Xin Qian were indeed known as very generous people, they always distributed the plantation produce to the people. No wonder that during the reign of King Arlo, the land of Peacelavia became very prosperous and prosperous.

Xin Qian's attitude changed, this time he did not invite Ji Nian to go meet the people. Xin Qian simply rode a horse and took a few soldiers along to bring a tribute containing fruits.

Ji Nian, who was always worried about the Princess' safety, rode on a horse and followed Xin Qian to the countryside.

"Daughter, I just want to apologize to you. Please, forgive me." Ji Nian accompanied his horse to walk beside the horse that Xin Qjan was riding.

"You don't have to apologize, Ji Nian. I've forgiven you." Xin Qian slowed down her horse steps then looked at Ji Nian's face.

"I was upset with you, so I thought I'd better go alone."

"Daughter, next time don't go alone. You don't know if there's any danger that might be asking for you."

"All right."

Upon arriving in the countryside, all the people welcomed their arrival very well. Some soldiers from the palace took out the plantation and distributed it evenly to the people.

A little boy carried by his mother suddenly cried and was eager to be carried by Xin Qian.

"Darling, don't act like that to the Princess" said the mother to calm her Son's cries.

"It's okay, Auntie. I'll carry it." Xin Qian smiled.

He almost fell down while carrying the child, but Ji Nian was always quick to help Xin Qian.

"Daughter, I'm sorry if my son has troubled you." The mother handed her son over to Xin Qian.

"I'm glad Auntie if I can please my people," Xin Qian replied with a sweet smile.

"Look! The fruit does not fall far from the tree. In the past, Queen Lieng was a very kind girl and liked to help others. Now her daughter is not much different from her, she even looks like a queen" one of the people whispered to her friend.

"You're right. King Arlo was also a good leader, he always thought about the lives of the people. I pray that they will always be happy and live long" replied the friend who was beside him.

"What's your name?" Xin Qian asked the child she was carrying.

"Daughter, my name is Anming" replied the little boy.

"Anming, do you like vegetables?"

"Daughter, there's nothing I like more than you and my mother" she said, making everyone laugh including Ji Nian.

"But I asked if you like vegetables?"

"No. I don't like vegetables."

"What's the reason?"

"Vegetables aren't so good, I don't like them."

"Daughter, is that handsome man your lover?" Pointing towards Ji Nian.

"No. He's my favorite friend." Xin Qian looked at Ji Nian and hesitantly said that line.

"Daughter, I also want to be your favorite friend like that handsome man."

"You could be my favorite friend if you're going to eat vegetables from now on."

"Really, Princess?"

"I can't lie to a kid like you."

"alright. Mom did you hear that? From now on I will eat vegetables. Mommy must be really happy, right?

"You're a smart kid."

"Thank you, Princess. You've made my son want to eat vegetables."

"No problem, Auntie."
