"Because I promised to grant Miss's request, I will. But this Emperor was curious, why did Miss ask for Princess Huang's matchmaking release that had nothing to do with Miss?
King Wei looked at the girl with a probing face. He remembered seeing her enter the Huang residence.
"What does this girl have to do with the Huang family?" inner King Wei.
"Hamba just wants, my best friend to marry the one he loves. Please the Emperor grant it!" replied Se Se who made up as if Princess Huang was her best friend.
"I will give him full rights to determine his spouse without being bound by state regulations." the Emperor promised the girl.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor" Se Se said as he saluted the Emperor
Then he turned his body towards the Crown Prince.
"His Highness the Crown Prince still has a lot of walking practice to make his footsteps stronger. Do your best to practice, Your Majesty." suggested the girl before leaving the palace.
Outside the palace King Wei had been waiting for him at the entrance gate. Se Se let out a long sigh when he saw King Wei there. "Hufff...!"
"This guy will definitely be looking for trouble again" he thought.
"There's something I want to talk to you Miss, please come with me!" king Wei's Order.
King Wei took the girl to his residence. He took the girl to the Main Pavilion. All the servants were surprised to see his master bringing home a girl.
This is the first time their master has brought a woman. Even his dead Master's former wives had never set foot in the Main Pavilion.
The waiter there glanced at each other and smiled. They were happy that his master had already started approaching women. They hope that their Master will soon marry and have a family successor.
They sat across from each other at a round table. Se Se watched the room, many books in the book storage cabinet and his eyes stopped at a painting hanging on a wall.
King Wei realized that the painting was a painting of his current guest's face. He immediately explained without asking. "Ehem... Ehemm! The painting was given by Xuan to look for Miss."
The girl just listened without saying anything.
"This girl is really hard to approach." Inner King Wei.
"Yu, have the waiter prepare dinner and drive you here." the masked man ordered his bodyguard.
Not long after that the waiter brought a lot of food. Grilled chicken, sweet sour fish, sweet soy sauce stir-fried meat and some types of vegetables.
"Eat!" said King Wei while looking at the girl.
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry Your Majesty."
King Wei's eyebrows pucker. His face did not seem to like the girl's answer. He remembered this girl was very greedy while eating with him some time ago. Why is this girl not touching her food?
Seeing the change in King Wei's face, the girl wanted to quickly leave from before him. He stood up from his chair, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to go home. Please enjoy your dinner."
The girl looked down respectfully then walked out, but only a few steps had been heard from King Wei's voice.
"Stop! I haven't let you go!"
King Wei stood up and walked towards Se Se. He pulled his hand and stepped back to the table.
"You can't leave if you haven't finished this meal!" he said to Se Se.
"Hufffl...!"
The girl let out a long breath holding back her anger.
Not wanting to look for trouble, he ended up sitting back in the chair, picked up a pair of chopsticks at the table and then started eating.
"It seems like the people of this country, have not known that the King of Wei whom they respect is a strange man who likes to impose his will." muttered the girl while stuffing a mouthful of rice in her tiny mouth without looking at King Wei.
King Wei smiled slightly, looking at him who was chewing food in a hurry. He did not feel angry at the insinuations the girl muttered in front of him.
A few minutes later...
"Excuse me, Your Majesty! I have eaten all this food. Can I go now?" ask the girl with a cold face.
"Yes, prepare the horse carriage. Take Miss Florence home." King Wei ordered.
"No need, I'll go home by myself, Your Majesty" said the girl then stood up, bowed respectfully and walked out.
"Follow him!" king Wei's orders to Yu.
"Okay, Your Majesty." replied Yu.
"Your Majesty, Miss Florence entered Huang's residence and did not come out again until I returned" Yu said.
King Wei raised an eyebrow and held his temple. "Did the girl live in Huang's residence?" ask in the heart.
NEXT DAY
"Tokay! Geck! Heck...!"
"Come in"
"Miss, there's a eunuch who came with the emperor's word. Miss is called to the main hall." Said a servant to Se Se.
"I already know, go first, I'll be there after changing clothes."
"Okay, Miss." replied the waiter.
The girl immediately changed clothes and headed for the main hall. Madam Xin, Huang Minwan and Huang Lin Wan were already waiting there.
The eunuch stood in front of Huang Se Se and read out the emperor's orders.
"Huang Se Se who has been given the title as Princess Huang will be freed from all arranged marriage ties. Princess Huang was given full power to determine her mate. This decision is absolute and valid until the end of his life!"
"I say Thank You to His Majesty the Emperor" said the princess smiling happily as she lowered her head.
Kasim walked away from the residence. Seeing the shadow of Eunuch who had already disappeared, Madam Xin stepped closer to Se Se.
"DOG!!!"
Madam Xin slapped her stepdaughter and then asked, "What are you doing out there until this marriage is canceled?"
Madam Xin was furious to learn of the marriage's cancellation.
"If the marriage is annulled, the wedding gift must be returned to King Wei. Though I had intended to give the treasure to my two daughters when married later"." Madam Xin's inner.
Se Se was surprised to get a slap that he did not expect. He daydreams from being too happy because his marriage was annulled, so he doesn't realize a hand is pointing at his cheek. He stared intently at Madam Xin with slightly enlarged eyes.
"PLAKKK!"
Se Se returned a slap from Madam Xin, then said to her, "Mrs Xin, you, are only a Concubine. Remember the limitations of a concubine in this country, and in this residence there is also no regulation that says that a concubine may insult the biological daughter of the first wife.
"Know that your standing in this house is not high enough to rule my life! If you're still unconscious, don't blame me for being rude."
Madam Xin fell to the floor, she was holding her face which felt very sore, due to the slap she had just received. Se Se stepped out of the place, leaving behind her stepmother and step-sister.
"Mother, don't you feel that that bitch has changed a lot? He even dared to go against mother now." asked Lin Wan to his mother.
"True, it's very different. Ever since falling into the pool it seemed like he had turned into a different person. Right now I even have a hard time dealing with it." Madam Xin replied growled.
Ling Er ran into Se Se's room. There was a big smile on her lips, and her face was very happy.
"Miss, Ling Er was very happy to hear that. Now Miss does not need to marry King Wei." said Ling Er.
Se Se changed her clothes, then looked for something in the closet that was in the corner of the room. After finding the thing he put it in his sleeve.
"Deplace your clothes! We're going out to celebrate." said Se Se.
"Ready, Miss." replied Ling Er.
The horse-drawn carriage drove through several aisles and then reached its destination. They stop in front of the restaurant that Florence (Se Se in disguise) and Xuan (King Wei who unmasked her)
Se Se went down aided by his servant, they chose a table on the right that was quieter than anywhere else. Se Se doesn't like crowds.
"Miss, can I order a lot of food?" asked Ling Er to Se Se.
"Emmm, just order everything Ling Er wants." Se Se replied as he nodded.
A few moments later the waiter delivered the food. Ling Er looked at the food on the table with sparkling eyes and drool that was almost dripping.
"Eat!" said Se Se smiling to his servant who looked very hungry.
"ABUSH! BUGH! BUGH!"
There was a sound coming from the front door of the restaurant. Many people approached the source of the sound out of curiosity. Ling Er was still eating voraciously. Se Se walked out and observed the crowd.
