Qian's eyes were completely amazed by the beauty and splendor of the Palace, many of the soldiers were passing by and would immediately pay their respects as Qian and Xihua passed by them.
Finally Qian and Xihua and Yi Feifei arrived inside the palace hall where there were already many people standing on the outskirts of the hall neatly lined up, everyone immediately turned their heads towards those who had just entered the door of the hall.
"Come on!" xihua said then he and Qian walked towards the figure who was sitting on the majestic throne with the two girls on his left side who were also sitting together.
Yi Feifei who had gotten used to coming to the Palace accompanied Xihua almost completely recognizing the faces of everyone, he rushed off towards the back of the two girls sitting next to King Song.
Qian's eyes could not blink when he saw the figure of a man in his 50s, a not-so-thick beard without a mustache with a golden crown as well as a radiant luxurious robe giving him a generous impression, the gentle smile on her lips looked towards her and Xihua who came making Qian's nose feel moist as well as teary eyes.
After 17 years, Qian was finally able to meet the father, maybe the meeting was a little strange because only the side who knew who the generous figure before him was, the other party did not recognize his opponent at all.
If this world could be made to a halt by Qian, it would feel like she stopped him and would say, "Dad, I am your wasted son 17 years ago!" that was what Qian had in mind at the moment, it's just that Qian couldn't do it and could only endure the tightness and quietly let go of her longing in heart by looking at the father who didn't recognize her.
Looking at the two women beside her left, Qian thought that the two women might be her father's concubine just strangely her age was so young that Qian felt that the two of them might not be her father's two concubines, either, Qian recalled the other two sisters who were older than her, it made Qian even more eager to rejoice but whatever the power, it was unexpected that today she was so close to them all.
"Xihua saluted!" xihua said gently and also gracefully.
King Song smiled warmly as he approached the youngest daughter and stroked her hair, saying, "May the gods be with you my daughter!" said King Song then he looked at Qian who was behind him. "Is this young man you were telling me about this morning?" asked King Song who was answered nodding by Xihua.
King Song looked back at Qian as well as Qian so that both eyes with the same gaze met each other, for some reason King Song's heart skipped even faster as the young man Xihua was carrying looked at him, somehow, surprisingly King Song felt a familiar feeling towards the young man.
Qian hurriedly regained his senses and immediately cupped his hands together while bowing, "Qian pays respect to His Majesty, may His Majesty always be blessed and live a long life!" qian said.
"Good young man and also polite, the current generation really knows how to talk to older people! I like your attitude," King Song said as he patted Qian on the shoulder.
"It is an honor to be honored by the King!" qian.
"Xihua, don't you want to introduce your friend to both of us?" said one of the women in purple dress who had stood up and followed by the other girl.
"Sister girl! It seems like Little Sister is afraid of us seizing her," the seductive girl who is a little younger than her next door.
Xihua with red cheeks blushed in embarrassment, she immediately approached the two girls who kept teasing her. "Stop brother! You made me lose my self-esteem" Xihua said with red cheeks blushing like a tomato.
"Haihi.. Look at! Now our little sister has really grown into a beautiful girl, strong, but unfortunately shy," said the girl who looks the most mature.
"That's the first brother!" xihua.
"Friends! At least tell us your name so that we both know the name of the man who made this little one's heart become shy."
Qian immediately cupped his hands and immediately replied to what the older sister was asking, "My name is Lin Qian!" qian said which made King Song and Lie Hua as well as Xi Yifei shocked to hear it.
Lin Qian's name was probably a little familiar to their ears, naturally it was the name that King Song had once given his son, even today Song Lin Qian's name is still often spoken by their father who makes the name familiar to both ears, even though only two words in the name are without the name "Song," in front of him, yet the name "Lin Qian" already gave an impression in their hearts.
Fortunately this time was not the right time to dig out further information against Qian considering that at this time there would be a great guest of the Kingdom coming, with a deep sigh, sighing deeply, King Song was only able to give a smile and a helpless welcome.
Qian nodded in answer to King Song's question, he naturally already understood the situation and also felt calmer as it was likely that his father would not have the chance to interrogate him like a caught thief.
"I know my daughter cannot be mistaken in seeing someone, before getting to know you further, this Your Majesty's self cannot yet look at your relationship, so please give this Your Majesty a face!" said King Song.
"Hamba Qian will strive to protect what it calls the honor of His Majesty's family!" qian replied who immediately understood the meaning of her father's words once conveying her determination that would protect her family's honorary name.
"Smart and excellent young man! I'm sure you must have really great parents, so lucky for them!" said King Song while laughing satisfied at the attitude shown by Qian.
Qian only smiled at him, his heart wanted to laugh at the praise from his own father, only at this moment did he know his father's very loving nature, kind and do not look down on the status of others even though he is a king.
Xihua immediately waved a hand calling Qian to immediately come next to her, and Qian did not refuse that at all. He walked slowly over to the three sisters while sweeping everyone present with his eyes, looking for the whereabouts of Huan Gong and Fa Lio Bai, yet he did not see them at all.
As Qian had not known, a Personal Guard of the King's Family was someone who had the duty to be a protector in the shadows, they did not have to appear in public, either, unless the King was in danger, such a task was a strenuous one, all of it regardless of how strong the protector had the ability, it depended on the opponent he was going to face, which was what he was going to face, as for that it would have no great effect, considering Fa Lio Bai was an Expert Soul Swordsman, naturally his fighting ability was beyond doubt, but if until someone who has a higher ability than that wants to harm the King, Fa Lio Bai still has to protect him even though his own life will be at stake.
Both Lie Hua and Xi Yifei's eyebrows were knitted into one upon seeing Qian, not only did his eyes look similar to their father's, even the way he walked was a little similar.
"Qian, this is my first brother Song Lie Hua, and this one is Song Xi Yifei's second brother!" xihua.
"It's nice to get to know the two Song princesses!" qian said with a warm smile.
"Since you are the lover of our little sister, then you should call us brothers as well, don't you?" xi Yifei said then threw his gaze at Lie Hua.
"Yes no problem Lie Hua Jiejie, Xi Yifei Jiejie!" qian replied then again spoke in her heart, "Indeed I should have called you two big brother," inwardly.
"Yes already, please sit down, not nice to see many people," said Xihua who did not want to continue to be teased by his two brothers.
Qian smiled then she walked randomly standing next to one of the old men standing in the third row while smiling kindly to the man.
"Why do I feel something about that young man, it's like a complicated bond that's connected!" inner Lie Hua and Xi Yifei also had similar thoughts.
"Ke ke's.. Young man, you are truly lucky to be able to attract Princess Xihua's heart! My name is Cheng Wu, one of the four Prime Ministers in Agriculture," said the man beside Qian.
"Old Cheng Wu, I am Lin Qian, it is an honor to be acquainted with Old Cheng Wu!" greet Qian with respect.
"Haha…! Truly a very polite young man," Cheng Wu said as he chuckled then he introduced the chubby old man in blue who looked nonchalantly next to Qian. "Next to you it is the Minister of taxation, his name is Chu Wei Xha."
The eyebrows next to Qian shot up looking at that seemingly indifferent face, from the name it was very clear if the old man should be the head of the main family of the Chu Family who had a conflict with him a few days ago at the Golden Rope Inn precisely in Woizhi Village, seeing his attitude that Qian immediately understood that the arrogant actions of Chu Yang and Chu Hao were the true nature of the entire Chu Family, even though he held a slight grudge, Qian still tried to greet him kindly, "Greetings to know Old Master Chu Wei Xha," said Qian who only obtained a snide glance full of arrogance from Chu Wei Xha.
Qian only smiled faintly in response, she realized that Chu Wei Xha considered himself to be nothing more than a vagrant rat as Chu Yang had said back then, withstanding a hint of annoyance, Qian was just trying to be patient, because right now she was only focusing on looking at her family, today Qian's desire to meet her father had already materialized.
Some people were talking to each other to get rid of boredom, the palace hall was a little noisy because of their respective chatter before finally the noise was eliminated after the sound of exclamations from outside.
"They've come..!"
The cry made the noise instantly become silent instantly, while King Song muttered softly, "Finally come too! Hopefully this meeting can end well," muttered King Song with a bit of uneasiness and turned towards Lie Hua who looked to not care much about all that already, it made King Song smile bitterly.
