The air seemed to stop, the depressed atmosphere of silence became even stronger. Hundreds of pairs of eyes present tried to hide their sharp-wielding gaze towards the figure of a handsome toddler who hugged tightly the legs of the level belonging to the God Physician.
Xiu Qixuan's thoughts turned hazy. His heart began to beat nervously as if it could come out at any time from within the throat. He only needed a few seconds to regain his composure and immediately took a deep breath to decipher the choking feeling.
Gently Xiu Qixuan reached out her slender hand, she grabbed Xia Zhiwen's body and made a gap between them for her to step back.
"Hamba greets His Highness the Crown Prince." Xiu Qixuan said softly making a proper respectful posture.
So clever, the progress of his self-control had already greatly increased in the face of unexpected situations.
It was as if he did not know of a mistake made by the Little Prince. Xiu Qixuan preferred to ignore by putting forward her proper etiquette.
"Xiao Wen!" A sharp warning sound echoed coldly making a strong pressure.
Xia Zhiwen, the handsome toddler raised his gaze innocently tugging at Xiu Qixuan's sleeves. "Muhuo, don't go again. Look, Fuhuang scolded me!" He made a complaint.
Xiu Qixuan's eyebrows shot up gently with a faint tremor bending down her face to stare at Xia Zhiwen who was pulling his sleeves.
"Jin Momo." Call Xia Qian Che coldly turned her face back to give a command signal.
"Yes, Your Majesty." It was Aunt Jin, she became a wet nurse who nurtured these two dragon and phoenix twins. His status was so high in the eyes of the Emperor that others would give him a special grace.
Ever since the meeting with Xiu Qixuan in the center of Hanzhou Capital, Xia Zhiwen had become so stubborn as to think that everyone wearing a face veil was his Muhou. This was not the first time he had acted soberly and misrecognized people. Xia Qian Che as a father of course became furious with the feeling of anxiety and worry about the psychiatric condition of his son.
Jin Momo rushed over quickly to reach over and grabbed Xia Zhiwen's body gently whispering in the handsome toddler's ear. "Fuhuang you're already angry. Little Majesty, please keep an attitude. Otherwise the penalty is extra hours of study."
In just a few words from Jin Momo—the tight grip Xia Zhiwen had on Xiu Qixuan's sleeves slowly loosened, an adorable dislike frown radiated on her petite face.
"But this is Muhou, I won't mistake him anymore!" Her cute voice sounded so loud to convince but ended up letting Jin Momo pull her away.
Jin Momo straightened up the body then immediately put on a respectful posture and passed away carrying Xia Zhiwen in front of the Emperor who was still standing to wait for his son to return to the entourage.
Those present in the banquet stuttered faintly and immediately returned to bowing their faces.
Xia Qian Che was still wearing the court attire of an Emperor embroidered with the tail and legs of a dragon with his hair half-rolled adorned by a golden jade crown showing his incomparable power.
Taking her two favorite children with her, she walked up to Empress Dowager Ning who was sitting quietly. An Emperor does not need to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
Xia Qian Che just needed to say hello, "Mother Suri." He then turned around and waved his sleeves at those who bowed to say, "All get up!"
"Yes, Thank you Your Majesty." All those who were present stood up straight again.
On the other hand, Xia Zhiwen and Xia Zhishu ran over to approach the grandmother with innocent cheer. Inside the warmth of Empress Dowager Ning's lap, they complained many complaints about the father's attitude. Babbling without the slightest bit of fatigue from continuing to talk. So active and adorable!
Xia Qian Che focused on Xiu Qixuan who was bowing her head, the girl fell pensively thinking about the calculations in the planning.
With a resolute light step, Xia Qian Che walked over to Xiu Qixuan thinking the girl was still distracted by her son's reckless attitude.
"Miss Qi." Call her.
Xiu Qixuan who was falling pensively became a jump in shock, 'Brakk' her skirt was stuck on the snack table while her body staggered backwards into the chair.
Stuttering Xiu Qixuan holding onto the veil of her face cover to keep from falling over, she grimaced inwardly because of this carelessness.
After returning to his firm stand, Xiu Qixuan slowly made a respectful bow with a nervous tremble saying, "Without His Majesty the Emperor!"
Xia Qian Che's eyes hid a faint amused smile but he quickly cleared his throat loudly and said, "Rise up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiu Qixuan said then slowly moved gracefully to straighten her body.
His lips slowly hooked upwards in grandeur Xia Qian Che said, "Miss Qi, the Crown Prince is being reckless by offending you. Zhen, will seek to replace your unequality."
"No need, Your Majesty!" His voice softly filled understandingly memgagaskan content of mind. "The Crown Prince is still in the learning stage to recognize people, this is not a big thing." Further.
Xia Qian Che looked at her meaningfully then nodded faintly, "Miss Qi, so thoughtful." Her speech. I don't know what's on this Young Emperor's mind.
"My son had already misrecognized people several times, so longed for Muhuo - he became stubborn." He continued with a faint lonely snort floating as he slowly spoke.
Xiu Qixuan took a deep breath then said calmly, "Adults should give good understanding and direction. Be gentle slowly rather than hasty and sharp because it can instill harsh nature."
The description is so straightforward and not arrogant to assert themselves. His attitude has always been transparent avoiding problems.
But clearly the words just now there was a sneering sirat that was fixed on Xia Qian Che.
Both of Xia Qian Che's eyebrows that formed a sharp arch were furrowed with his narrowed eyes.
From behind the veil of her face cover Xiu Qixuan was tightly closed with the corner of her twitching lips. He was cursed full of regret because too reflex issued a sharp sneer. What if Xia Qian Che let out a furious lava from her already spicy mouth?
Suddenly the sound of laughter flowed to fill the void, Xia Qian Che was unable to hold back the humor from seeing such a bold subject sneer at him head on.
"Miss Qi, Zhen hope you have no regrets!" He said ambiguously then passed away to go to the stopover provided.
"Huh?" Xiu Qixuan was slightly stunned. With her forehead wrinkling, she looked at Xia Qian Che's back who was walking away.
Unwittingly since then many pairs of eyes full of jealousy were fixed on him. Why did Miss Qi look so free to interact with the Emperor?
One of the sharpest looking gazes was the Grand Miss from the residence of the Minister of the Ning Supervisory Agency. She was clearly Xia Qian Che's cousin but her obsession to have a clear imprinted look from the look on her face.
In the middle of a formal banquet that has not yet begun, guests are again allowed to roam freely in the flower garden. The influential women with gathered status made upper class social groups to go together admiring the beauty of flowers. While men choose to walk casually playing chess accompanied by a heavy literary conversation.
Xiu Qixuan was the last person to walk out from within the Pavilion. he lightly walked through the play activities of the Imperial Ministers.
The old faces with arrogance that hid his true intentions made Xiu Qixuan snort in disgust. All those bound by the palace would be extremely terrifying in playing a ruthless intrigue.
Xiao Leng who had previously disappeared to mingle with the servants was seen rushing up to him then she whispered softly, "The Tax Minister and the Empire's Economy are not present at the banquet. Surnamed Niao who was a second rank noble."
'En,' Xiu Qixuan replied indifferently nodding softly as she held onto the branch of the fallen peach. He made a calm reaction not to arouse suspicion. Then he turned his face to Xiao Leng giving a special gesture.
