“I… wouldn’t dare.” Awkwardly forcing a laugh to calm himself, First Elder really wanted to make himself disappear right now. “Is there anything else you need of me Sire?”
“Let the maids I chose for my daughter to come over, I have something to say to them!”
“Yes Sire.” Bowing his head, First Elder readily complied and went to carry out the order.
It didn’t take long for the set of ladies to arrive due to being organized into one courtyard.
“Greetings to the king, princess and prince.”
Among the gathered ladies here were of course Mu Xie. She’s nearly cracked her own teeth due to the strong level of resentment coursing through those veins.
The queen really gave birth to a little princess?
Maybe…. it’s just a coincidence! Even if the king has amazing power, there’s no way he can predict the future and foresee his own child’s sex!
In light of her own thoughts, Mu Xue had at least enough awareness to realize trying to show her true emotions here right now would be a death sentence. In the end, the leopard girl continued to keep her head down in order to avoid eye contact.
……
“From this point forward, all of you are to serve my daughter the princess here. If anything happens to her then I won’t let any of you go!”
The crowd shuddered under that threat and kept their heads even lower.
“Furthermore, I do not want to see any man get close to or approach my daughter! If there are any violators then the crime will apply to those who failed in this as well!”
When he chose these maids for his precious gem of a daughter, Di Cang specifically vowed to himself that no brat would get near. What if they teach her the wrong things and snatch her away while she’s young? That would be terrible!
“Yes Your Majesty.” The maids answered in unison but with a nervous note mixed into their voices.
Unlike when First Elder attempted to squash the rumors, this time Di Cang really did kill it off in its entirety. After all, rumors are rumors, this order here was the real deal.
As for Mu Xue, she’s being devoured by jealousy at this point. Not even she could deny the fact that her own belief has been crushed. Nothing but a half breed born of a human woman, why does the king like this runt so much?!
Mu Ying naturally saw through to her own younger sister’s thought pattern there. However, when she saw no noticeable change or outburst from the other girl, this eldest sister undoubtedly felt relieved, both for herself and her tribe.
“First Elder, also go find some more people to take care of the little prince.” It’s then that Di Cang got to caring for his youngest boy, “Jin Tian is still young, I don’t want anyone using his ignorance to their advantage.”
Unlike his trust in his daughter being all innocent, this father had a different opinion about his boy though. When it comes to the male of his family, Di Cang’s certain both Bai Xiachen and Jin Tian would eventually want to learn about the differences between men and women. By then what if multiple girls try to seduce his son and use him? That’s out of the question because the men of his family could only have one wife, just like himself!
Others did not understand the meaning behind their king’s word, but First Elder did. Without saying a word to explain to the others, “Yes Sire, I will gather the necessary people for the little prince. I will also make sure they teach His Highness the needed lessons.”
“Then go now.”
“Yes…” Arching his fist, the elder left without delay.
Due to not foreseeing the new baby being a set of twins, no servants were prepared for poor Jin Tian by Di Cang. However, what this palace didn’t lack were male guards. For that reasoning, it didn’t take long at all for First Elder to organize a set of people he deemed worthy of teaching the new prince.
“Ling Yan, Ling Yan.”
