As Ye Ning walks in, before anyone else could step through the door, they see a small chubby kid making a beeline for her and leaping straight into her arms.
He looks up, his little face glowing with delight, "Fairy Sister, you’re here."
"That’s enough, Xiaojian. Don’t cling so tightly. You might frighten your sister," soone chided gently.
Following them, Ai Henian also steps forward, his face full of fond love for the child.
Xiaojian’s complexion appears much improved, his strength has returned significantly; this makes Ai Henian extrely happy. In spite of being riled up by the thought of soone poisoning Xiaojian, he felt imnsely relieved that the boy’s condition was not an incurable congenital defect but a temporary issue that could be treated.
Ye Ning gently ruffles Xiaojian’s hair before picking him up, "Wow, not bad. You’ve gained weight."
Upon hearing this, Xiaojian’s face turns troubled. "Ah, how can that be? Sister, if I beco fat, will you not want anymore?"
"Ah, why would you think that?" Ye Ning responded, puzzled.
He replies, "If I beco fat, I won’t be good-looking anymore and you won’t want to marry ."
"..."
The people standing nearby struggle to hold their laughter.
However, they wondered about the identity of this woman who their precious prince was insisting on marrying.
Ye Ning responded, exasperated, "Now, now, how are you considered fat? You should eat more, grow strong and tall. That’s the way to go."
"Really?" he looked at Ye Ning with doubt.
Ye Ning says, "That’s right, you have to grow up... to be as big as this, only then can you marry a girl."
She gestured towards Mu Yeli.
Mu Yeli looks down at the small "rival in love", thinking that having Ye Ning as a wife ans anyone, from an 80-year-old man to an 8-month-old baby, could potentially beco his love rival.
Xiaojian has to crane his neck to look up at Mu Yeli, then he smirks saying, "Fine then, I will grow taller than him."
"Good boy," Ye Ning ruffles Xiaojian’s hair.
The onlookers are startled by this sight.
This woman dared to touch the head of their beloved prince.
However, behind them, Ai Nianhe stands with a smile, hands crossed behind his back, he speaks, "Okay, you’ve had a tough journey here. Rest well today, and join the banquet tomorrow."
Only then do the visitors enter the Royal Palace.
Ye Ning quickly asks, "Ah, Your Majesty, are we staying here tonight?"
"Ah, of course, it’s more convenient here, and, moreover, Xiaojian wants to spend more ti playing with you. Do you have other plans?"
"No, no."
Ye Ning has never stayed in a palace before.
As she follows them inside, she secretly takes in the grandeur of her surroundings.
The Royal Palace has many rooms, all of them suites. For Ye Ning and Mu Yeli, they’ve prepared a suite near the prince’s room.
The palace is heavily guarded, mbers of the private guard can be seen patrolling, surveillance caras are installed everywhere barring a few private areas.
The glass and walls are all bulletproof, rumour has it that even if a shell were to explode, these walls could endure it for a while.
Ye Ning feels the walls, expressing her awe, ’All this is money.’
Mu Yeli, anwhile, is about to step outside.
"Taking a walk outside. Want to join?"
"Ah, yes, is that allowed? Wandering around, wouldn’t we end up sowhere we’re not supposed to be?"
After all, it’s the Royal Palace, there must be many areas restricted to outsiders.
