Chapter 125: Your Majesty Has Summoned!

  "Haha, sister, our coordination just now was seamless, it was great, hehe..."

  After the performance, in a special dressing room, Anna's face couldn't hide her excitement and joy, making her eyes shine brightly like two beautiful diamonds.

  Hearing this, Han Xi's eyes curved into a smile as she teased back.

  "Yes, it's great, and the best part is that your most beautiful side has finally been revealed to the one who matters most to you, isn't that what's most important?"

  "Sister, how can you say such a thing?!"

  Even the usually bold and carefree Anna couldn't hide her shyness, after all she was still just a 15-year-old girl! It's normal to be shy!

  After another round of teasing, Han Hui and Anna had already changed their clothes and were planning to return to their seats to rest.

  Unexpectedly, when leaving the dressing room and turning a corner, I saw a slender figure standing under the plum blossom tree.

  At this time, night has quietly arrived without being noticed.

  In the vast and dark sky, those twinkling stars are like beautiful diamonds scattered across the entire horizon, flashing one by one, how lovely.

  A round and curved bright moon, hung high in the sky, interweaving with the twinkling stars, the clear and cold moonlight, gently sprinkled down like silk.

  A gentle haze envelops the entire earth, dyeing it with a few shades of inexplicable mystery!

  The palace lanterns hanging under the eaves emitted a dim yellow light, illuminating the surroundings to about 70 or 80 percent brightness. It also clearly illuminated the tall figure of the man under the plum blossom tree.

  When she saw that tall figure, Han Xi's eyes slightly widened and then turned to look at Anna beside her.

  And Anna was like a thunderbolt on the ground, stiffening on the spot.

  On that delicate face, beautiful eyes were wide open, small mouth was rounded, enough to fly in a sparrow. Enough to prove the shock in her heart at this moment.

  Seeing this, Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but curve into a smile, and she felt happy for her.

  It seems Anna wasn't willing at first, but that man actually had a crush on her too!?!

  In her mind, the man who was originally facing away from Han Xi Tong and the others seemed to have sensed that someone was behind him, and slowly turned his body around. A pair of wise black eyes also looked towards Han Xi Tong and the others.

  At this moment, she knew it was not suitable for her to be a light bulb. The two of them hadn't seen each other in two years and must have had a lot to talk about. So, Han Xi Tong stretched out her hand and pushed Anna, who was still stunned, forward a few steps before turning around and leaving.

  Because she still had Anna and Wing Wah's affairs on her mind, Han Xi's mood wasn't bad, with a smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

  The footsteps of walking in a row are much lighter. However, when Han Xi's eyes had just turned a corner, a huge white mass came rushing forward!

  Han Xi Tong's mind had been elsewhere just now, and before she could react, she was knocked to the ground by that huge white mass.

  "Uh..."

  It hurts so much!

  Who the hell knocked her down?!

  Just as Han Xi Tong was screaming in her heart, she felt that her face was being licked by something soft, hot and wet.

  His heart suddenly felt a chill, and before he could think further, a familiar voice that couldn't be more familiar echoed in his ears.

  "Haha, sister was knocked down by little tiger, haha, so much fun, sister, little tiger misses you too much..."

  That sweet and innocent laughter came from none other than the Sixteenth Prince, Jing Yu Chen.

  Last time Han Xi Tong returned to the palace, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Xuan Yu Chen, who used to look for her to play every day, and even asked You Er about it.

  You'er immediately said that the 16th prince's maternal grandfather was ill, so he went back to visit his maternal grandfather. His maternal grandfather was none other than the Emperor of Lingguo.

  At this moment, Han Xi's eyes fixed on the little tiger that was lying on her body, constantly licking her with its tongue and saliva like a small dog. It was exactly one year ago when she had saved it during the autumn hunt.

  The name Xiao Huo was given because at that time this little tiger had a miniature body shape and its cry was also cute.

  But now, Han Xi Tong looked at the huge object on his body, and the little tiger should be called a big tiger!

  Huge body, sturdy limbs, tiger-like head and brain, with bright black eyes. The color on its body is clearly divided into black and yellow, extremely beautiful!

  Looking at the big tiger in front of her, Han Xi couldn't help but think of Da Bai, who was as gentle as a breeze, being raised by his family.

  How is Qing Yufeng doing now?

  At first he suddenly left in a hurry, leaving her puzzled for a while.

  Han Xi Tong thought about it lightly for a moment, after all, the most important thing now was to push away this little tiger who was still taking advantage of her.

  However, it was obvious that even if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xiao Hu had missed her so much. Even when he was pushed away, he still kept circling around Han Xiulian with an excited and joyful expression, which made Han Xiulian involuntarily curve up the corners of her mouth in a smile.

  Then his gaze shifted and fell on the Sixteenth Prince Yu Chen, who had returned to the palace at some unknown time.

  "Hehe, when did you come back?"

  "Hehe, sister, I returned to the palace this morning. Originally, my grandfather wanted me to stay for a few more days, but I also missed brother and father emperor and mother empress, so I came back. I didn't expect that you would also return, it's really great."

  Only six years old, Xingyu Chen said while her small body tightly clung to Han Xi Tong's, with a spoiled expression on her face.

  "Hehe, is Little Tiger being raised by you now?"

  Being held by Xing Yu Chen's small body, his dependent and coquettish appearance made Han Xi's smile even deeper.

  After all, she genuinely likes this little brother.

  "Well, Xiao Hu is mine now. No choice, last time my sister left suddenly and Seventh Brother and Fourth Brother were not around either. I saw Xiao Hu was pitiful and had no companion, so I took him in to raise myself."

  In the end, Yu Chen's tone was somewhat complaining.

  "Sister, why did you have to leave? Even if something came up and you had to leave, you should at least tell Yuer a word! You just left like this, Yuer misses you so much, do you know that?!"

  In the end, Jingyu Chen's mouth was pouted high, and on her small face, a pair of big watery eyes showed a look as if she was about to cry, making Han Xi Tong feel a pang of guilt.

  At this moment, Xing Yu Chen is like a small dog abandoned by its owner, with those big eyes filled with tears, showing pure innocence, helplessness and pitifulness.

  None of them is not accusing her of her crimes...

  Han Xi's eyes tightened in her heart, and she felt a pang of guilt. Her tone also softened.

  "Sorry, it's all sister's fault, don't be mad at sister, okay?"

  Han Xi Tong sincerely apologized, after all, Yu Chen was truly treating her as a sister, which made her feel warm in her heart.

  Having been an orphan since childhood, having a younger brother who relies on me is like having family, it feels really good.

  Hearing Han Xi Tong's words and looking at her apologetic expression, Jing Yu Chen was actually no longer angry.

  However, on that delicate little face, she still intentionally put on a sulky expression, with her small mouth pouting high.

  "It's okay if Yuer doesn't get angry, but from now on, sister is not allowed to leave again. Even if there's something that needs to be taken care of outside, you must tell Yuer first, or else Yuer will worry."

  "Alright, alright, alright, all these sisters have promised Jade, so won't Jade be angry with her sisters anymore?"

  Knowing that Yu Chen was pretending to be angry, Han Xi didn't expose him and instead spoke softly.

  In the end, she still made a promise with Yu Chen, and only then did Yu Chen feel at ease, her small face once again breaking out into a pure and lovely smile. After all, what grudges can little kids hold?

  "Sister, shall we go release floating lanterns now?"

  "Release river lanterns?"

  Hearing this, Han Xi's face slightly stiffened.

  Han Xi Tong looked puzzled, and Xuan Yu Chen immediately explained enthusiastically.

  "On the eve of every year, we Tianxuan people eat reunion dinner, watch the program after dinner, and then everyone likes to release river lanterns on the river west of the imperial palace. It is said that as long as you put a paper strip with your wishes on the river lantern and let it flow downstream, the river god will fulfill your wishes..."

  Hearing Xuan Yu Chen speak in a soft and gentle voice is truly an unparalleled pleasure.

  Soft and soft, looking at his round, white and tender little face, Han Xi couldn't help but gently pinch it a few times.

  "What is Yu'er's wish for this year?"

  In Han Xi's eyes, Jing Yu Chen was just a little kid. What wishes could a little kid have? They just wanted to play and eat delicious food.

  While Jingyu Chen heard Han Xi Tong's words, she just covered her mouth and secretly laughed, but didn't express her own wishes.

  The little guy is acting mysterious!

  Seeing this, Han Xi Tong didn't ask any further questions and just let him secretly enjoy himself.

  Later, after talking to Yu Chen for a while, Xun Xiao Ran and the others, who were originally waiting quietly for Han Xi Tong on that side, went to find her since she hadn't returned after such a long time.

  Later, when Han Xi Tong said he wanted to release river lanterns, he immediately ordered the small eunuchs to prepare brushes and ink, and a group of people went westward to the West River.

  When Han Xi Tong and his group arrived at the west river, there were already many people gathered on the other side of the west river. However, most of them were young men and women.

  The moon is in the western sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

  Reflected on the rippling surface of the Western River, it was as if the stars and moon had fallen into the river.

  Alongside the western riverbank, a string of brightly burning palace lanterns hung high, making the night colors even more intoxicating!

  As I walked further in, I could hear a lot of joyful laughter and cheerful chatter around me.

  Although it's already late at night, on New Year's Eve, nobody will go to sleep.

  After finishing the Lantern Festival, everyone has to go home and celebrate the Lunar New Year's Eve.

  As soon as they arrived at the West River, Jing Tianqi and several others were immediately surrounded by a large group of beautifully dressed, elegant and lovely young ladies.

  "Crown Prince, this is a pouch I embroidered myself, please don't despise it and accept it..."

  "Prince Wu, do you still remember me..."

  "The eighth prince, this is a small token of my feelings..."

  "Crown Prince..."

  Looking at Tianqi and the others surrounded by a group of girls, Han Xi's eyes only flickered for a moment. Then she took Yu Chen to the lake.

  First write down your wishes on a piece of paper before releasing the river lantern.

  Han Xi Tong held a brush and ink, staring at the blank white paper strip, but for a moment, she couldn't think of any wishes.

  After all, she came here and didn't have to worry about clothes or food, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

  After some thought, Han Xi wrote on the white paper, hoping that everyone would be safe and happy, with a joyful font, then blew it dry and put it on the river lantern that had been prepared long ago.

  She raised her beautiful eyes and saw Xuan Yu Chen sitting across from her, his adorable little face filled with a serious expression, holding a brush in his hand, writing something.

  Unable to resist her curiosity, Han Xi walked over and wanted to take a look at the wish on his note. Unexpectedly, that little guy seemed to have sensed her arrival and immediately used his small hand to cover up the wish he had just written, not allowing Han Xi to see it.

  That small white face was suddenly dyed with two adorable blushes, making him even more lovely.

  Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but glance over, and she leaned in to peck a kiss on those tender cheeks.

  "Hehe, what wish is Yuer writing that even her sister can't see?"

  "Uh, it's precisely because she's my sister that I won't let you look!"

  Han Xi Tong was kissed by one, and Xuan Yu Chen's eyes were even more shining with shyness. The big watery eyes fell straight on Han Xi Tong's face, no matter how you looked at it, it was lovely.

  Han Xi Tong listened to Xuan Yu Chen's words, but was completely bewildered.

  Why is it her, yet can't be seen? What a strange reply!

  Just then, a bright and teasing voice came from beside his ear.

  "Sister can't watch it, then brother will be able to watch it!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lie suddenly found himself unknowingly escaping from those women's clutches.

  That stunning red figure, however you look at it, is so provocative and charming, just like a red rose blooming wildly in the night!

  Han Xi Tong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she teased Xuan Yang Lie.

  "Hey, this old man's good fortune is quite impressive! Why not stay in Wenrou Xiang for a while longer? Look at those girls, each one looks so lovely and charming. Didn't you used to have a soft spot for them?"

  Han Hui-tong was teasing him, but Xuan Yang Lie didn't get angry, instead he learned from Han Hui-tong's tone and laughed.

  "Hehe, I've turned over a new leaf now."

  "Hmm..."

  When Han Xi heard Yang Lie say this in that strange tone, he couldn't help but snort out a laugh and retorted with a sentence.

  "Shameless."

  "Oh no, I'm going to lose face! Don't you know that this face is what I care about the most? I was still planning to use this handsome and extraordinary face to win Tong Er's heart!"

  He rubbed his smooth chin with his hand, and Yang Lie's extreme narcissism left Han Xi speechless. She thought to herself, some people just have thick skin!

  But he didn't know whether that sentence was a joke or what, and Han Xi's eyes remained expressionless.

  As Han Xi Tong and Jing Yang Lie spoke, on the other side, Jing Tian Qi and Jing Xiao Ran also escaped from that pile of women. However, they still had a strong scent of makeup on them, which made Jing Xiao Ran's face look terrible, as if he had stepped in feces.

  While Tianqi still maintains his elegant demeanor, the refined smile on his face always gives people a comfortable feeling.

  Several people came to Han Xi Tong's side, looking at Han Xi Tong who had already written his wish, and also took up their brushes to write their own wishes.

  "What is your wish for this year, Tong Er?"

  "I don't have anything I'm seeking, just hoping everyone can be happy and find their own happiness."

  As he watched Xuan Mei Chen lean in close, the dim candlelight spilled onto this delicate man, making his features even more soft and beautiful.

  No wonder people often say that looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look, the more beautiful she becomes, there is some truth to it.

  After all, Xuan Mei Chen was originally very good-looking, with features more delicate than those of a girl. Recently, after returning to the imperial palace, Xuan Huang had him specially nourished and supplemented. Originally frail, under careful nursing, Xuan Mei Chen's body became increasingly robust.

  Nor will it give people a feeling of being frail and likely to be blown away by a strong wind.

  While Jing Mei heard Han Xi Tong's words, he just lightly said "oh" and blew the paper in his hand, then folded it well. The solemn movement, the devout appearance, seemed as if he had something precious in his hand.

  At this, Han Xi's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said with a chuckle.

  "Mei Chen, what is your wish?"

  "My wish is to spend a lifetime of happiness with the one I love, and that person is you, Ling'er, you know..."

  Xuān Mèi Chén's voice is like a pleasant sound of a zither, so moving and flavorful.

  Adding his affectionate and sentimental gaze, it's almost as if he wants to drown all the women in the world in his deep and gentle emotions, making them unable to extricate themselves.

  As soon as Han Xi saw Xuan Mei's gentle and affectionate appearance, his heart skipped a beat. Before he could say anything, a cold hum sounded in his ear.

  The person who made this cold hum was Xing Xiao Ran.

  Recently, due to the deliberate actions of his father, he had rarely seen Teng'er, and was often pestered by those infatuated women, Xun Xiao's mood was already very unpleasant.

  Now, seeing the woman he likes being eyed by so many men makes Xiang Si's heart extremely uncomfortable.

  Her eyes are his, how can she be snatched away by another man!? He won't allow it!

  As if sensing Xiang Xi Ran's displeasure, Han Xi Tong slowly turned her head and looked over.

  After catching Han Xi Tong's gaze, Xun Xiao Ran's originally vinegar and anger-filled handsome face immediately changed, and he quickly put on a pitiful expression.

  Only to see today's Xuan is a snow-white brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist. His long hair was tied up by an exquisite jade crown, which made him look even more like a jade crown, and his face was as handsome as Pan An.

  But at this moment, his face showed a pitiful look, like a timid and poor little white rabbit, making people feel sorry for him.

  Although she knew that Xun was not as weak as he appeared to be, every time she saw him like this, Han Xi Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Little pupil, why don't you ask me what wish I wrote?"

  His eyes narrowed, and his small mouth pursed into a thin line. He didn't care about the other people present, perhaps in his eyes, he only saw Han Xiuying, and everyone else was just air.

  "Uh, what wishes did you write?"

  Looking at Xun's coquettish appearance, which was even more lovable than Xun Yu Chen's, Han Xi's eyes were speechless and amused, and could only ask along with his words.

  Who would have thought that Xiang Xiao Ran was waiting for her words.

  That handsome face first burst out with a bright smile, that smile was so beautiful it seemed as if the sun and moon would pale in comparison.

  "Hehe, my wish is that in this life and this world, I can be with Tiantian together, never to part!"

  It was as if he was making a vow, his words firm and serious, loud enough that it seemed like he was afraid the others present wouldn't hear him.

  As Xing Xiao Ran's words fell, Han Xi's mouth twitched and the other men in the room all had a somber expression.

  The atmosphere also becomes suffocating and eerie.

  Sensing the bad atmosphere in the room, Hanhee's eyes really sweated.

  However, the person involved still smiled with an innocent face.

  Her face was so pure and beautiful that day, no matter how you looked at her, she seemed like a white-clad angel, clean and pure!

  Unfortunately, heaven knows how black-hearted and evil he is, his favorite thing is to pretend to be innocent!

  Typical of dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger, is there?!

  Han Xi's eyes widened as she looked at the increasingly gloomy faces of the men in the room, and her scalp felt a chill.

  Since those men gathered together, her days have been uneasy, if she doesn't escape now, when will she?

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes prepared an excuse to slip away quietly.

  Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

  Anna didn't know what was going on and kept running forward. Seeing this, Han Xi immediately spoke up.

  "Something seems to have happened on Anna's side, I'll go take a look first!"

  After finishing speaking, Han Xi's body flashed and ran very quickly!

  Leave behind several men with gloomy faces, secretly competing in martial arts!

  ……

  Originally, Han Xi Tong just wanted to find an excuse to slip away. However, when she saw Anna looking like she was on the verge of tears, she started to worry.

  He then displayed his lightness skill and quickly caught up with Anna who was running very fast.

  "Anna, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

  Han Xi Tong asked with concern, originally crying with tears in her eyes, Anna, when she saw Han Xi Tong, couldn't help but throw herself into Han Xi Tong's arms and cry with grievance and heartache.

  "Waaah, sister, he deceived me! He actually broke his promise to me! I liked him so much, for him, I learned martial arts, using ten times the effort of others, not afraid of hardship, I was so diligent, all because of him! He once clearly said that he would give me two years, if in these two years I didn't change my heart and still liked him, then he would marry me. But now, waaah, there's already another woman by his side... Waaah, what should I do?"

  Anna tightly wrapped her arms around Han Xi's slender waist, just like a drowning person clinging to a lifebuoy, and cried pitifully.

  Han Xi Tong heard Anna's words and also showed a worried and sad expression, just wanting to comfort her a few sentences.

  However, at this time, Wing Wah happened to appear, and behind him was a lovely young girl.

  All I saw was a maiden with a gentle and beautiful appearance, her features were delicate and refined, looking like an autumn moon.

  The red dress she was wearing made her look even more lovely and charming.

  When he saw the red-clothed girl, Han Xi's eyes flickered for a moment, and then a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

  Anna, who was holding Han Xiudong and crying loudly, also found the two people behind her. Her face, which was as pale as a pear blossom with tears, still had tears in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with sorrow and grievance.

  "What are you still doing here? You're a scoundrel, you deceived my feelings, I hate you!"

  "Uh, scoundrel?"

  Upon hearing this, Wing Fai's stern face slightly contorted, and he then somewhat awkwardly rubbed his nose with his hand, his tone somewhat helpless, yet affirmatively said.

  "I am not a heartless man!"

  "No, you are who you are, and yet you still don't admit it! Are you a man or not?! Since you've got another woman now, what's the point of chasing me again? To humiliate me?! Waaah, I don't want to love you anymore, you're just a heartless scoundrel!"

  Anna burst into loud sobs, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam, and Wing Fai's eyes filled with pity and helplessness as he watched.

  He wanted to explain something to Anna, but Anna had hardened her heart and refused to listen, perhaps because she was still emotionally agitated and couldn't bear to hear anything.

  But just then, the red-clothed woman who had been silent all along suddenly burst out laughing.

  The gaze that looked at Anna was even more filled with a smile, making Anna's heart tighten, thinking that the red-clothed woman was mocking her, just about to say something.

  But unexpectedly, the woman in red spoke up, and what she said was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, leaving Anna stunned.

  "Brother, is this girl the one you mentioned with a two-year promise?"

  The woman in red spoke with a coquettish tone, but her beautiful eyes, looking at Anna, were full of jest and teasing.

  When he heard the red-clothed woman's words, Yì Huá couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, and spoke truthfully.

  "It's her!"

  "Oh..."

  When she heard Yihua's words, the red-clothed woman's last "oh" had an even longer tone, and her face also had a look of sudden realization.

  As they talked, Anna, who had been crying and was still excited, finally came to her senses and realized what was going on!

  It turns out that I misunderstood from the very beginning! They are not lovers, but siblings!?

  With a loud "boom", Anna had an urge to die on the spot!

  Seeing Anna's tearless and embarrassed appearance, Han Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.

  She had actually known all along that the woman was Wing Wah's sister, but Anna just wouldn't listen to any explanation.

  But now it seems that this result is not bad either, at least I know they have feelings for each other, and the man also has intentions!

  Unfortunately, Anna now just wants to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it, not wanting to come out again and lose face. Good grief, she's too embarrassed.

  "Uh, it seems like it's going to rain, I'll go collect the laundry..."

  "Uh..."

  “……”

  “……”

  When they heard Anna's words, everyone looked up at the sky in silence.

  The sky is clear and vast, with stars twinkling everywhere. How can it be raining? What a terrible excuse!

  But someone was completely unaware and after saying this, he slipped away quietly.

  Ying Hua just let out a soft sigh, but her eyebrows were filled with sweet loving thoughts.

  He set off in a flash towards Anna.

  It seems like tonight is a perfect match for lovers!

  At this point, Han Xi's heart was also blessing Anna. Just as she was feeling happy, she suddenly heard Li Dezhi's hoarse and sharp voice.

  "Miss Cold, the Emperor requests your presence!"
