Xiu Jia Li's
Episode 22's. Looking from far away

Queen Lien finally obeyed Xavier's will, she opened the covering cloth on the horse carriage they were riding in and stared out.

Seeming quite crowded with residents who were present there, Lien also glanced at Luan with sad eyes as if hinting that she missed Xiu's figure.

While Xavier had come down from the horse, approached his people who were there accompanied by his guard soldiers.

Everyone present bowed, saluting Xavier who was their king.

"Welcome to our village, your majesty!" ryu said he represented all the people there.

"Thank you for the welcome! All of you are indeed my amazing people, I love your enthusiasm in welcoming my presence here. Good, because that means you don't forget me as a leader in this country." said Xavier smiling.

"Of course, Your Majesty, how could we have forgotten that you are the king of this region? Instead we are very lucky because his majesty is willing to visit our small village," Ryu said with a smile.

"Yes your honor! Forgive us, because we can only give a small welcome like this. In addition to his sudden arrival, we also only have all of this." said Luan.

"It's okay, I don't expect anything from all of you. I came here just to visit, as a king of course I have to pay attention to the welfare of my people, right?" Xavier.

"That Bethel, the noble king Xavier is the fairest king in the whole universe. You should be grateful to have a king like him!" wingki.

"Not to overdo it Wingki!" Xavier.

"The words are true, we are fortunate to be led by a king like your noble self! Therefore, accept our offering. It's not much, but we think this is enough to pay the monthly tax at the palace" Ryu said.

"Here you go, don't praise me too much! All right, I accept all of your gifts for the good of our beloved palace. Thank you to all of you!" xavier smiled.

"Together, your majesty" they said in unison.

Xavier ordered his soldiers to bring the goods given by the citizens and transport them to the palace.

Then, Xavier looked back at Ryu and Luan and smiled thinly as if he was going to ask the couple something.

While Queen Lien remained in the palace's chariot, she always looked out for her daughter's whereabouts.

Mungyi the coachman turned his head towards the queen, he ventured to speak to the queen Lien because he could not bear to see the woman continued to grieve waiting for the presence of his beloved daughter.

"Sorry queen! But, servant will help the queen to be able to see the princess now!" mungyi said to his queen.

"Circulate Mungyi? Do you know where my daughter is right now?" ask Queen Lien expectantly.

"Of course the queen, I know. However, the queen should stay here and I will meet the queen with the princess so that the queen can see the princess." Mungyi replied.

"Yes Mungyi, anything for me to see my daughter again. I really miss him!" said queen Lien.

"Okay queen, please wait a minute! I will meet the princess for a moment" Mungyi said.

Queen Lien nodded slowly, Mungyi got off the horse she was riding and left there to meet the princess Xiu.

Queen Lien kept watching where Mungyi was going, she couldn't wait to see Xiu whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Xiu, how are you doing now dear?" muttered queen Lien grieving.

***

Xi Mei was inside Luan's house, peering through the window to see her mother from there.

However, he could not see the queen because the queen Lien did not come down with the king.

Xi Mei also seemed sad, his desire to see his mother was not realized.

"Mr princess!" Xi Mei was surprised when anyone called her that.

The teenage girl turned to find out who called her.

"Uncle? How did uncle get here? Did uncle come with the palace?" xi Mei asked in astonishment.

"Daughter lord, I brought the king here. In fact, there was also the queen in the carriage of the princess. He wanted to see the princess, it seemed like he really missed the princess." replied Mungyi.

"But uncle, I can't go out to see mommy. What if the court realizes that I'm Xiu's daughter they're looking for?" xi Mei was confused.

"Let's just calm, princess! Leave everything to uncle!" mungyi smiled.

"Okay uncle, I'm coming with you. I can't wait to see Mommy. But, does mommy know what I look like now?" xi Mei.

"Uncle will arrange everything. Now the princess is coming with uncle!" mungyi.

Xi Mei nodded in agreement, and followed Mungyi where he was going because he missed his mother a lot too.

***

Mungyi led Xi Mei out of Luan's house, positioning the girl a bit away from where Xavier was.

"Uncle, is it safe here?" ask Xi Mei.

"Let's just calm, princess! I make sure no one will realize that the princess is here, because of course the soldiers are focused on guarding the noble king Xavier." Mungyi replied.

"Well uncle, then what's next?" ask Xi Mei.

"See that princess!" mungyi pointed towards the horse carriage in front of him.

"That's where queen Lien is, so the princess always looks there to see the queen!" continued.

"Good uncle!" xi Mei smiled.

"Yeah, uncle went back there first huh? You stay here until you see the queen!" mungyi.

"Yes uncle," Xi Mei said, nodding quickly.

Mungyi stepped away, headed back to the carriage and met the queen.

"Sorry queen! But, now the princess is already behind the queen" Mungyi told queen Lien.

"What's? Are you serious Mungyi?" ask queen Lien.

"Of course the queen, please see for yourself through the window of this chariot!" answer Mungyi.

"Well," queen Lien rushed to open the window cover to see her daughter.

"Where's Mungyi?" queen Lien asked confusedly.

"That's the queen, the princess is wearing her school uniform and is standing looking over here" Mungyi replied as she pointed out where Xi Mei was.

Queen Lien immediately turned her gaze towards her daughter, smiling and shedding tears as she saw how her daughter was growing at the moment.

"Xiu, this is mommy son. Mommy misses you so much, mommy wants to hug you baby! Forgive mommy, because mommy can't see you in person now!" inner queen Lien grieved.

Not only the queen, Xi Mei also felt happy and sad at the same time when she saw her mother from where she stands today.

"Mommy, it turns out mommy is still beautiful as before, even more beautiful. I miss mommy! I'd love to hug mommy right now, hope mommy's always okay there!" inner Xi Mei.

Finally Xi Mei waved at the queen, of course Queen Lien replied.
