Finally.
Xiao Jinxing and his entourage returned to Xun City, back to the Imperial Palace.
After being away for half a month.
Finally, they arrived safely.
This journey was filled with too many experiences.
At last, they have returned.
The civil and military officials were waiting for them in the court.
Xiao Zhanping was sitting on the Dragon Throne, naturally overjoyed.
This ti, Xiao Jinxing had truly made a great contribution.
The control of the plague in Yuzhou City showed everyone in Daxuan Kingdom his benevolence as the Emperor.
Earned the admiration of the subjects.
His good mood was sothing all the civil and military officials could feel.
Xiao Jinsen was also among them, and of course, he could feel Xiao Zhanping’s joy.
He always wore a smile on his face.
He repeatedly urged the servants, asking why Xiao Jinxing’s carriage had not yet arrived at the Imperial Palace.
You can imagine how eager he was to see Xiao Jinxing.
Over so many years.
Since the incident with Xiao Jinxing’s mother, Xiao Zhanping had never looked Xiao Jinxing in the eye. Because of the great contribution Xiao Jinxing made this ti, it clearly regained Xiao Zhanping’s attention.
Even though Xiao Jinsen had prepared himself ntally, knowing that Xiao Jinxing would certainly be favored by their father, seeing the Emperor showing such a reaction still made him very uncomfortable.
Clearly, all these honors should have been his.
Winning the hearts of the people.
Winning the heart of the Emperor.
Winning the admiration of the civil and military officials.
All should have been his.
Xiao Jinxing, what kind of dumb luck did he have?
At this ti.
The ones feeling uncomfortable besides Xiao Jinsen, included the Crown Prince, Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan.
As the Crown Prince, he was always overshadowed by other princes.
Not to ntion Xiao Jinxing.
Due to the Emperor’s lack of affection, he also didn’t have much presence since childhood.
However, he had always seen the deep affection the Emperor had for Xiao Jinsen since childhood, jealousy in his heart.
He thought that Xiao Jinsen was the only thorn in his side.
Now suddenly, another Xiao Jinxing has erged.
A disabled person could achieve such great military exploits.
Why he... never had any achievents.
Inside, he naturally felt extrely unsatisfied.
He always believed that it was because the Emperor didn’t like him which made his role as the Crown Prince so stifling.
He also never wanted to admit that he was not capable enough.
With such thoughts.
At the entrance of the great hall, a loud voice rang out.
"King Chen and Princess Chen seek an audience!"
The voice caused so restlessness inside the great hall.
Xiao Zhanping looked at the two people walking in with a smile on his face.
Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi ca to seek an audience, and naturally, dressed in noble and gorgeous court attire in front of the civil and military officials.
The two swept away the fatigue of their journey.
Appearing lively and spirited.
All eyes in the room were focused on them.
And what made them unable to look away the most was Xiao Jinxing.
He was the center of attention, but because he walked into the great hall instead of using a wheelchair, everyone was even more shocked.
Isn’t King Chen... disabled?!
Although the civil and military officials did not see Xiao Jinxing often due to his absence from the court, the rumors were not mistaken.
Is this robust man who walks with steady steps and looks upright truly King Chen?!
Standing eight feet tall, his presence while walking was even more captivating.
Xiao Jinxing seed not to notice their gazes. He was very careful and composed, kneeling in the great hall with Ye Qichi, "Your son pays respect to the Emperor."
"Your daughter-in-law pays respect to the Emperor." Ye Qichi followed by Xiao Jinxing’s side, kneeling and bowing.
Xiao Zhanping was also surprised by Xiao Jinxing’s appearance.
What had they gone through on this journey?
Xiao Jinxing actually stood up.
And looking at his walking posture, one couldn’t tell that he had ever been disabled.
Together with his handso features.
This mont, he was even more dazzling than all the civil and military officials in the great hall.
Even Xiao Jinsen, whom he had always valued highly and who was outstanding in both looks and ability, was overshadowed by Xiao Jinxing.
In that instant, it seed to remind him of Xiao Jinxing’s childhood.
Xiao Jinxing in his childhood was deeply loved by him.
Handso in appearance and smart and sensible, he once had the intention to leave the throne to Xiao Jinxing.
Later, due to the incident with Xiao Jinxing’s mother, and most importantly, Xiao Jinxing’s subsequent disability, he had to give up cultivating Xiao Jinxing.
Now at this mont, it seed to ignite a spark of hope in him again.
And Xiao Zhanping’s emotional changes were all seen by Xiao Jinsen.
Having been by Xiao Zhanping’s side for so many years, he understood what each of his gestures ant.
At this mont, staring intently at Xiao Jinxing like this, it definitely wasn’t a good thing for him!
