The Story Behind the Jade Pendant
Long Empire part 4

"Long Fei, haven't you been in the city for a long time? why did you just come here? then where are my grandchildren, didn't you say you'd take them?"

"dad, I'm busy all day and now there's only time to visit you. Then for your grandchildren, they'll visit you tomorrow"

"alright, but don't forget! I've waited a long time"

"dad, it's not that I don't want to bring them to you, but you know your grandchildren are very, very unruly and whatever the wind, they're suddenly going to follow me here"

"ha.ha leave it alone, they are still children so still unstable"

"dad, if there's nothing you want to say, then I'll go back to the inn"

"yes go, remember don't forget to take them tomorrow"

"yes well"

after getting word that his granddaughter would visit him tomorrow, the emperor Long also told the servants to immediately prepare a welcome party for his grandchildren.The palace was now busy preparing a party, now the palace was busy preparing a party, Xiao Yan was also invited to help there.

after finishing preparing what was needed, Xiao Yan was finally able to rest in relief.he did not expect that the emperor would have them prepare a big party, so he thought to whom the party was for? he asked his friend who also worked as a eunuch.

then he answered that the party was held to welcome the grandchildren of the emperor, who had just arrived in Long kingdom. Hearing that, he felt that if this was a good thing for him. he now planned to sneak into the state treasure room while the party was being held.

the next day, Ms. Wei asked her children to go to Long Kingdom, they did not know, why they were invited to go to the palace because Ms. Wei did not say anything to them, they can only obey and follow when on the way they only realized that in the palace there must be Xiao Yan there and maybe they will meet him.

at first they intended to preach it, but they did not know what to preach it in, finally they let it go and they hoped, later Xiao Yan would understand their intentions.

Ling Mei who was disguised as Xiao Yan, was forced to come with them, she was now feeling uneasy.she was afraid that she would be discovered, if she did not immediately meet Xiao Yan. Rong Ji calmed her down and told Ling Mei that this would be fine.

hearing that Ling Mei was now quite, feeling calm for a moment. before long they also arrived at the Long royal palace.they were very amazed by the grandeur of this palace, compared to the Xiao kingdom, this Long Kingdom is indeed matchless, they thought.

ms. Wei also, told her children to rest first in a place that had been prepared.they were also escorted by the royal guard to a place of rest.when they passed by Xiao Yan who was sweeping in the yard, he said, accidentally saw the three of them.

he saw that they were being taken away by the guards, he did not expect, if the three of them were so stupid that they could be caught by the guards.he finally, followed them secretly. he accidentally saw, if the bodyguard took them to a room, he thought if the guards were locking them in the room.

after the bodyguards left, Xiao Yan quickly went to the room to save them. After arriving at the door he kicked him, because he thought that the door was certain, he had been locked by the guards with all his might he kicked the door.

"brak" the door opened and those inside, automatically felt surprised instead of playing, because of Xiao Yan's behavior. At first they thought that if the person who kicked the door was a bad person, it was a bad person, Rong Ji involuntarily shouted out to the guards.

The panicked Xiao Yan, then immediately shut Rong Ji's mouth. Rong Ji was shocked, but after Xiao Yan called his name and said if this was him, they calmed down. after knowing that it was Xiao Yan they immediately closed the door so that no one would see.

but unfortunately, the guards who heard the commotion had reached the door.The guards asked them if they were okay. they immediately told the guards to leave.

once they feel safe, they begin to argue and blame each other.

"why are you here? you know this is no dangerous act know?"

"we also know if this is dangerous, but since we were invited by Ms. Wei, then inevitably we have to go and follow her"

"then why did none of you give me any news?"

"what do you want to tell me? Whatsapp? or SMS that?"

"yes not really, but you should have given me the news or you could have told people to go look for me"

"there's no time, we don't know if today, Ms. Wei will bring us here"

"you see, I don't have to bother to go and sneak into the palace, it's fucked up"

"why were you brought in by the guards?"

"they escorted us to the dugout, the bodyguard was ordered by Ms. Wei"

"Hem. suspicious"

"what's suspicious?"

"i'm afraid this is a trap"

"you're always thinking negatively"

"whatever it is, the important thing is now that we have gathered together, hereby we will make a new plan to find out where the jade pendant is"

"yes you are right, but can you both take off your masks, I am actually confused by your masks" said Rong Ji

"yes, I can't stand this mask either"

"ah, how easy it is to take off the mask"

"what you're right about, I can't stand it anymore, too, if I have to disguise myself as Xiao Yan"

"hehe's sorry Ling Mei has troubled you but I also thank you very much for cooperating with me"

"yes together"

"then what should we do now?"

"what if we run away? I know what way you're gonna get out of here?"

"what if we get caught? wouldn't this be a big deal"

...Suddenly the sound of people walking towards them...

"eh.. why is there Ling Mei here? didn't you say Ling Mei wasn't feeling well?"

"em like this, ma'am, it was so at first, but because he was afraid to be alone in the inn so he followed here"

"Hem good, then why are you wearing waiter clothes? didn't you wear the same clothes as them?"

"e. anu like this Mom, I accidentally dirty my clothes, because no I did not bring any other clothes, so I was forced to borrow the clothes of the waiter, hehe so it was Mom"

"well, then you come with me to change clothes, don't wear those clothes, just be ashamed"

"hehe well ma'am"

"you Ling Mei also come with us"

"e.. look, Miss Wei, I'd better be here. I still don't feel well so..."

"so let him stay here, ma'am, he still needs to rest" Xiao Yan said

"well Miss Wei, thank you"

they finally left Ling Mei in the room.The three of them were immediately escorted to another place to change clothes. after a while they were done changing clothes and now they are asked to enter the palace.

"hey see, I'm handsome, ain't I. haha"

"it's not fair, why are you guys wearing such cool clothes? while I was wearing very troublesome clothes, too many hair ornaments, making my head so heavy and these clothes also hampered my footsteps"

"that's your pain, who told you to be a woman, after all you deserve to wear those clothes" said Rong Ji

"yes, you are better suited to the clothes, just hold it for a while. This will not take long, you just be patient after finishing attending the event, you will be free to change clothes" Ye Jing said

"it's up, once the show's over, I'm gonna throw this thing away and I'm never gonna wear it again"

"It's all you have"

"our ladies and gentlemen have arrived, please wait here for a while, after a call I will guide you in" said the eunuch

"yes well"

...A few moments later the reception began, they were called to enter the palace...

"we invite the prince and the young princess to enter the palace" the host said

...they walked in whispering because they didn't know what was going on...

"uh why do they call us young princes and princesses? am I confused?"

"sutt, calm down a little don't be hard, there are too many people here, I don't know, why is that? but it seems that the one sitting in front of us is Emperor Long, so while we have to keep the attitude, otherwise it could be, our heads are all floating in place" whispered Rong Ji

"yeah you're right, I'm so nervous because it's better we do it, what can we do to save ourselves"

...The three of them finally arrived before the emperor...

"welcome to Long Kingdom, I am so happy to see you three, haha" said the emperor

"greetings to the emperor, good luck and long life" he said

"yes you guys don't go that way, anyways we're all family here"

"em sorry emperor, how? and what does that mean? why don't we understand?"

"hais, surely your mother wouldn't have told you this if I had your grandfather"

"huh, the emperor is our grandfather? how come?"

"why are you so surprised? did your mother, nor did she tell you, that she was the princess of Long Kingdom?"

"huh, it's unexpected that we are part of the Long royal family, it's unbelievable"

"haha, there's no need to think about it, because you already know if I'm your grandfather, so from now on call me grandpa ya"

"Hem okay grandpa"

"fine because my grandson is already here, I hereby elevate the three of them as princes and young princesses of Long kingdom"

"live the young prince and princess" said the attendees there

"haha I'm so happy, then you three come over here and sit next to me"

"well, grandfather"

"The three of you are very handsome and also beautiful, I am very happy to see you guys up close"

"hehe grandfather is also handsome and besides grandfather is very dignified, we as your grandchildren are also very proud of you"

"haha you guys could, then I'll give you a gift of meeting"

"hehe thanks grandpa, grandpa is really nice"

"yes then, you enjoy the party I prepared for you"

"good cake, thank you"

everyone who was there began to enjoy the party.The party was made, so magnificent to welcome the arrival of the emperor's granddaughter. Xiao Yan only realized that what Kasim was talking about yesterday was them and they were the grandchildren of the emperor.

it was unexpected that if they were descendants of the Long kingdom, they also did not expect that mistress Wei was the princess of Long kingdom. after the show ended they immediately returned to see Ling Mei and they told Ling Mei what they had experienced.

"Ling Mei, you must not have expected that the three of us were the grandchildren of the emperor of Long kingdom, right?"

"really? are you the grandson of the emperor? how do you know if you have a grandson of the emperor?"

"the emperor himself told us that, when we were called into the palace, we certainly did not expect that"

"that means your family, some are from the royal family huh?"

"yes, you know if Madame Wei is a princess of Long kingdom or the son of this emperor, it's amazing isn't it"

"yes it's amazing, luckily we've returned from our disguise, otherwise I would have stood there terrified, when facing the emperor"

"em you're right"

"then what about our next plan?"

"Hem easy, I'll arrange it later and this time it will definitely go smoothly"

"yes well"

"yes then, I'd better go change first. I'm very uncomfortable wearing this outfit, very heavy and troublesome"

"yes then, I'll follow you"

"okay, let's go to the dressing room"

"yes well"
