Little Jiajia did not expect MO Yuan to appear, let alone the subsequent developments in the hall. Little Jiajia was stunned.
In short, the small royal banquet that was originally agreed upon became a welcome banquet. She, an unknown person who had been invited to the palace, became the focus of everyone’s attention.
That’s right, she was the princess of a foreign country.
The leader smiled at her lovingly and brought her into the conversation from time to time, as if he was afraid of neglecting her and misrepresenting the hospitality of Emperor Chong’an.
Well, she felt that there was a hint of careful flattery in it.
Little Jiajia continued to be stunned.
She looked at Imperial Concubine Liu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and whose face was pale. Occasionally, her eyes would meet Imperial Concubine Liu’s, and she would be filled with fear and hatred.
Little Jiajia felt inexplicable. Was she so terrifying that no one dared to look her in the eye? It was weird.
Thinking of something, Little Jiajia carefully turned to look at the old man sitting beside her.
The old master nodded politely at her, no longer looking at his granddaughter-in-law like before.
“Grandfather, listen to me…” she thought.
The old man refused to listen. He picked up his glass and went to chat with the person beside him.
Little Jiajia refused to give up and looked at the little heir sitting at the back.
Her little husband was the same. He didn’t even look at her.
She was devastated.
Apart from the two of them, Little Jiajia was sitting a step higher than the others, not to mention that everyone’s gazes were on her, intentionally or otherwise. Naturally, they saw the change in her expression.
While feeling suspicious, she thought to herself, “I’m still a child. Isn’t His
Majesty being too cautious?”
“His Highness mobilized 500,000 troops to the border of Great Xia and sent a letter to the emperor of Great Xia.”
As if seeing that she was in such a miserable state, MO Yuan finally took advantage of the noise in the hall to be merciful and lean close to her ear to explain.
Little Jiajia was stunned. She came back to her senses and blinked. With her understanding of her father, she would definitely intimidate Emperor Chong’an.
As expected, MO Yuan continued, “His Highness’s letter said that if the princess loses a single strand of hair in Great Xia, he will bring the army to flatten Great Xia.”
Little Jiajia thought to herself, “It’s indeed something my biological father can say. It’s simple and crude. No wonder Emperor Chong’an treats me like this.”
However, didn’t MO Yuan leave Phoenix City with her? How did she know so much?
Seeing her confusion, MO Yuan glanced at her coldly and said indifferently, “I met someone sent by His Highness on the way. I was the one who passed the letter to the emperor of Great Xia.”
When she said this, there seemed to be a hint of anger on her usually expressionless face.
What was there to be angry about? Naturally, she was angry at Little Jiajia for ditching her.
Because of her guilty conscience, Little Jiajia was smart enough to pretend not to notice.
She pursed her lips. “Then today…”
“If I didn’t do this, wouldn’t the princess have gone somewhere else?” God knew how she and You Yi had been living these days.
They did not even dare to sleep, afraid that their bold princess would be bullied outside.
It turned out that they were thinking too much. Not only was their princess not bullied, but she also beat up the princess of Great Xia.
Little Jiajia stopped talking. MO Yuan didn’t know that Chang’an was her destination and thought that she was playing around. She was afraid that once Jiajia was found, she would slip away alone, so she went all out to trick her into entering the palace.
First, she passed through Emperor Chong’an’s place, and then there was that threatening letter. For the safety of Great Xia, no matter where she went next, Emperor Chong’an would keep a close eye on her until she returned to the Xuanyuan Kingdom safely.
This was probably why her father wrote that letter. Apart from ensuring her safety, he also wanted her to not suffer any grievances even if she was in a foreign country.
Thinking of this, Little Jiajia sniffed. She wondered how the disaster relief was going. Did her parents eat well? Did they sleep well?
Especially her father. She wondered if he cried when he found out that she had run away from home.
It was a pity that she could not see her father cry with her own eyes.
There was actually a reason why Little Jiajia thought that way. According to her mother, when she was born, her father cried even more miserably than her mother, who had given birth.
And when she’d first learned to call him Father, his father had cried and laughed, scaring her mother into thinking he’d gone crazy.
In short, Little Jiajia was really curious about what her handsome tather would look like when he cried..
