A Grand Celebration(II)

The royalties became intrigue by where does the nobles are looking at and follow their sight. What greets them is a energetic but slightly pale Young Miss of the Minister's Manor. Her hair is styled by braids. She is wearing a very pretty hanfu made from expensive silk that touch the ground. For which has a bright color befitting of her attitude and energy.

It is noticeable that her dress cost as much as the annual salary of a middle class official just from the patterns and silk used. They can only look in envy at this kid. She may be little but the financial support from her family is huge not to mention that other rumors about this kiddo.

Meanwhile,she is currently pampering her sister. She's also the rumored as sickly child and the only adopted granddaughter of the esteemed Empress Dowager.

With what it looks like,it is not impossible that the Empress Dowager adores this little cutie. Their sharp eyes doesn't betray them even once and all they can see is a innocent and pure child who is doting at her younger sister unlike those scheming kids smiling stiffly and wanting to choke their stepsister to death but force to endure in front of others.

But it is not a secret that this kind of people dies young or end up crippled due to their own innocence and being gullible. They can only shake their head to her future.

...

Unlike the other royalties,the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager since the very start are already looking at this naive child since she entered the room. They both wanted to greet her but they are surrounded by the nobles here and there, making the pair grumpy. Well,the others can still understand the First Prince indifference but they are surprised by the strict but cheerful Empress Dowager grumpy face.

'These two royalties sure are intimidating' thought by the nobles and then slightly distancing themselves to the two but continue socializing. After all,it is a great opportunity to widen their connection and befriending royalties is their number goal.

.....

After some time the Emperor noticed the merely concealed boredom by almost all of the second generation and suggest some ideas to the other elders. Well,maybe because someone mention it personally to him.

Guess who?

To a lot of younger generations delight, the older generations decided to put them all to a room to play with the other kids not to bore them in the gift givings and other ceremony that doesn't really concern them.

This includes the royalties' second generation which became a big opportunity to some small officials offspring to try and befriend them. Considered as luck by many,they all agreed while the others just go with the flow since the majority already said yes. It could be bad to offend others.

This on the condition that each have a servants by their side and plenty of royal guards around them to avoid fights or assassin's intrusion.Especially because all of these kids and teenagers are all sons and daughters by the high officials and royalties who are all precious gems to their family since they will be their heir and they are all talented children chosen to come in this celebration for them to show off.

Some are afraid that they will get bullied, another reason why they let their servants accompany them especially the Right Minister's Manor since his children are the youngest in the flock who doesn't even know cultivation. They can be easily trampled on without the assistance of a servant.

Unknown to them is the figures who won't let even a mosquito near their eldest daughter.

Too much for being unprotected,huh?

...

Bei Xi and Ling Mei is sitting in the corner playing with themselves when she notice the stares of others to her and the others inside who has a different hair color from the others.

This makes her uncomfortable but she endures it. She even smiles at some of them and then continue playing. This makes some of them blush or become stiff before neutralizing their expression back to normal and the majority to smile back. They are shocked silly by her pure smile.

Two person inside scrunch their eyebrows before walking near to greet her. Only to be stupefied when they saw each other silhouette coming from different direction but have the same destination.

'a fly lurking? what a nuisance' they thought to the other. Before sneering at the same time.

They harden they gaze and continue walking to Bei Xi's seat.

On the other hand,Bei Xi is sitting their playing with her sister clueless that two leads are about to clash. Ling Mei just like her sister, doesn't care about others, playing with the toys provided inside the room while sitting in Bei Xi's lap. Unknown to her is that her supposedly soon to be lover is snatch by her also unaware sister.

Poor her.

.....

Moreover,two sights never leave each other as if having a staring contest.

The two arrived at the same time with their long strides and fast feet,this puzzled the occupied Bei Xi who is immersed in playing with her little sister but she decided to look up to see who is the owner of the two pair of feet.

One face is familiar while the other is strange.

Since she only saw Zhang Yi Qing's face from afar she doesn't really recognized him but his only distinct red hair. Her face show some bewildered expression before standing in her feet to greet the both of them.

Before she can speak,she is baffled by their expressions questioning herself if she ever done anything to be in their bad side.

But as see follow each other sight,they were not looking at her but to each other. The have this invisible lightning connecting their eyes and a gloomy aura surrounding them. Bei Xi unconsciously step back from them. This awakened the two who is immersed in their gazing battle.

"Hello,XIAO XI. How are doing?" the Crown Prince give emphasized his endearment to Bei Xi,smiling at her slightly before glaring intensely to a certain someone.

The surrounding nobles and royalties stop what they are doing,stunned by the events.

'Are we dreaming? The Crown Prince actually talk to someone!'

'The Crown Prince as a matter of fact doesn't hate everyone. Who is the lucky person he talks to?'

'This is truly a miracle! The stone-faced Prince is talking to someone aside from his servant! Is the world ending?!'

'The Prince who has a face paralysis actually smiled?! He even use an endearment? Im gonna faint,catch me ah.'

When they search the person who the Crown Prince is talking to,they are then welcomed by a small figure who looked like a kid who just learned how to walk and even slightly pale. What makes her unique is her silver hair and innocent aura.

'Prime Minister's Manor Eldest Young Miss? Isn't she's just 4?'

'Can it be that the Crown Prince likes taking care of little kids?'

'I doesn't expect that this stone-faced has a soft spots for buns.'

As they were puzzled in their thoughts,they notice another figure standing in front of their Crown Prince.

'Isn't that the rumored murderer Third Prince of Zhang Kingdom?!'

'Why is he also smiling at the small 4 year old kid?!'

'Could it be that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince of Zhang Kingdom likes to dote on little kids?!'

'Why does this prince doing smiling at a plump baby?'

'Do they both have motherly instinct?!'

'What a great surprise!'
