Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

He is so arrogant, he must be very resentful towards me.

Inside the palace, Huang Junwan was ordering people to dress Shaoyao in gorgeous clothes.

"Madam, I am a little scared."

Shaoyao looked at Huang Junwan opposite her with a nervous look on her face.

"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." Huang Junwan said calmly.

"But...but I'm afraid I'll be exposed."

Shaoyao was very worried. It was too difficult for her to pretend to be a lady and deceive people.

"Don't be afraid, Shaoyao. You don't have to do anything. Just follow me obediently."

"lady……"

"Peony...Xi'er has not been found yet. There are always people in the palace eyeing us covetously. I can only ask you for help now."

Huang Junwan said in a low voice.

"Madam, I am just afraid that I will get nervous and do something wrong."

"Peony, you really don't need to be nervous. You don't have to say or do anything. Just follow me quietly. And you need to change your address. You can no longer use the word slave."

Huang Junwan frowned and spoke seriously to Shaoyao.

"Yes... Ma'am... I... I understand."

At the palace banquet, the Queen held a grand dinner to celebrate the return of Huang Junwan and her eldest grandson.

All the ministers were invited to attend, including people from the four major families.

After Shangguan Yi received the invitation, he looked at Yan Jingshuo who was standing beside him and said, "The Queen invited all the ministers to attend the banquet, saying that it was to celebrate the return of the Second Prince and the Emperor's eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson is not in Shangguan Villa... Could it be that the one in the palace is..."

"Well, it's just a sleight of hand." Yan Jingshuo answered truthfully.

Shangguan Yi immediately thought of the reason.

"Then will you come with me to the palace?"

Shangguan Yi has not forgotten that he is the husband of the emperor's eldest grandson, so he should also attend the banquet.

"No, I want to stay here to protect Xier."

Yan Jingshuo looked at the small house not far away where the light was still on and refused out loud. The two most important people to him were in the house, and he would definitely protect them every step of the way. What did it have to do with him whether the banquet was important or not?

Besides, he had just sent someone to tell Huang Junwan that Xier had been found.

I guess they are almost at the palace.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yi said nothing more, but turned around and headed towards the banquet.

The banquet was lively and bustling. The queen sat high on the throne, looking at the ministers below with a smile.

All the ministers raised their glasses to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, Her Majesty. Not only did the Second Prince return safely, but he also brought back his eldest grandson. It's really a double blessing... Congratulations..."

A general congratulated loudly.

"Congratulations, Her Majesty. Double happiness has come. This is a great blessing for our dynasty."

"Congratulations, Her Majesty..."

"Congratulations, Her Majesty..."

Several officials then followed suit and congratulated him. After all, the dynasty had a successor, and there was nothing more gratifying than this.

Of course, some are happy and some are sad, but Huang Jing's family doesn't look so good.

Seeing the officials who had once fawned over her now shouting congratulations to those in high positions, her heart suddenly became extremely angry, and her eyes were full of madness and jealousy when she looked at Huang Lan.

Originally, they had thought that after she died of old age, the throne would naturally fall into her hands. But now that an eldest grandson of the emperor had appeared, the hope of their lineage inheriting the throne had become extremely slim, and no one could accept this change.

Huang Jing picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said to Huang Lan with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister for having a successor. I would like to offer you a toast..."

"Haha... My sister is so thoughtful..."

Huang Lan also picked up the wine glass and returned the toast with a smile.

"Royal sister, the banquet has already started, why hasn't today's protagonist appeared yet?"

Huang Jing has been feeling doubtful ever since she last entered the palace, wondering if there was something fishy going on, because she never saw the eldest grandson that people were talking about.

Is this just a way for them to deceive the ministers?

"Please be patient, my sister. They are already here."

As soon as Huang Lan finished speaking, a scream came from outside: "The Second Prince and the Grand Prince are here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sitting in their seats began to stretch their necks to look towards the hall entrance.

A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in calmly and gracefully, followed by another woman who was also dressed decently and elegantly. The woman was wearing a veil and there was a hint of nervousness in her beautiful eyes.

The senior officials present recognized at a glance that the woman walking in the front was their Second Princess. The naughty and lively girl at the beginning has now transformed into someone who can stand on her own.

Some old ministers had a look of relief in their eyes, while others had a look of complexity in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, Mother..."

"The eldest grandson greets Her Majesty the Queen..."

"Haha... no need to be polite... come and sit down."

Huang Lan raised his hand and waved, motioning them to sit on the chairs next to him.

"Thank you, Queen Mother..."

"Thank you, Queen..."

Then Huang Junwan took Shaoyao to sit down.

Huang Jing's third daughter, Huang Xiaoya, looked at the two strangers with disdain and rolled her eyes. Then she said in a coquettish voice, "Sister, meet Sister Junwan..."

"you are?"

As soon as Huang Junwan and Shaoyao sat down, she heard someone greeting her, so she looked at Huang Xiaoya.

"Heh... Sister has been away for so many years, so you may not recognize me. My mother is Prince Jing, and my name is Huang Xiaoya."

"So she is the daughter of the Emperor's aunt..."

"Yes, I'm a little curious. I want to ask if the person next to Sister Junwan is His Royal Highness Changsun?"

Huang Xiaoya bowed slightly towards Huang Junwan and spoke respectfully.

"Yes, she is my daughter."

Huang Junwan glanced at Huang Xiaoya who was sitting below her and admitted it generously.

"But sister... why is His Royal Highness Changsun covering his face and not daring to show his true face to others?"

Huang Xiaoya pretended to be confused.

Huang Jing beside her cast an admiring look at Huang Xiaoya, saying that she was indeed his daughter and had courage.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers at the banquet began to discuss among themselves, wondering why the emperor's eldest grandson was wearing a veil when they met him for the first time.

Is there something that cannot be seen in public?

"Hehe... Thank you for your concern, sister. My daughter was naughty. She went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers last night. Unexpectedly, she got bit by a bug on the face. She felt embarrassed to scare everyone, so she put on a veil."

Huang Junwan smiled and began to explain to everyone.

"Sister, are you really like that? It's just a bug bite, that's a small matter. Everyone here has seen the world and won't be scared by this small bite."

Huang Xiaoya pretended to be innocent, and then she pretended to be surprised: "Or is there another hidden story?"

"Haha...you think too much, sister. My daughter loves beauty. She just wears a veil because she feels ugly after getting a bite on her face. What could be the hidden secret?"

Huang Junwan looked at the woman who was attacking her, and her eyes turned a little colder.

"Hehe... So that's how it is. It's just a small insect bite. It will disappear in two days. But this banquet is to welcome my sister and granddaughter. The ministers all want to see the eldest granddaughter's appearance. It's not a good idea to cover it up like this. Don't you agree, sister?"
