Flowers bloomed here all year round, and the most beautiful ones were the beds of chamomile planted by the king for the queen.
In the past, Shen Wanxin had only heard about the love story between the king and queen of the Dragon Kingdom. Now that she was here, she could confirm with her own eyes that the couple was indeed very loving. The whole palace gave people the feeling of a very warm and beautiful family.
“The palace of the Dragon Kingdom is so beautiful,” Shen Wanxin said.
“Of course. My daddy loves my mommy very much. He built this beautiful garden for her, and many of the plants in it were planted by my daddy,” Ying Bao introduced proudly.
In fact, Shen Wanxin did not want to visit the palace. Standing here would only make her feel how lowly her status was. Compared to princes and princesses, she was simply incompatible.
The adults thought that they would be able to chat with each other since they were about the same age, but in fact, it was even more awkward when they were together.
In the past, Ying Bao and Huangfu Xuanye would talk about anything under the sun but now, there was an invisible ravine between them.
The two of them were very close to each other, but they could only watch from afar.
However, Tang Feimo and Huangfu Xuanye used to be loggerheads but now, they had become friends.
The two girls walked in front. Tang Feimo and Huangfu Xuanye were actually talking about national affairs and politics behind them. They looked just like good friends.
There wasn’t much interaction between Ying Bao and Huangfu Xuanye. They walked around the palace’s garden and soon, it was lunchtime. The servants came to ask them to go for lunch.
In the dining hall of the palace, Huo Yunshen sat at the head of the table. The distinguished guests sat at the seats of honor. Ying Bao and Tang Feimo sat on the other side of the table with their mother. Little Strawberry was eating with them and sitting beside Tang Feimo.
Shen Wanxin was seated opposite Ying Bao. Every time she raised her head, she would see a face that she did not like very much. She could only see Huangfu Xuanye when she looked sideways.
They would occasionally make eye contact, but Ying Bao would always look away in time.
That made Huangfu Xuanye feel very uncomfortable. It was as if he could no longer live happily with Ying Bao like before.
Ever since he had a “fiancée,” Ying Bao seemed to have been hurt and was always avoiding him.
However, this was Huangfu Xuanye’s goal. Only by doing this could he push Ying Bao away from him.
It was indeed a cruel thing to cut off years of dependence, but what else could he do?
Ying Bao acted as if nothing had happened during the meal but there were a few times when she felt so sour that she wanted to cry. She could only try her best to convince herself to let it go.
After lunch, Ying Bao realized that she could no longer continue to pretend. She found an excuse and pulled Tang Feimo out of the palace.
She had been wandering around Mo City with Tang Feimo for the whole afternoon and her heart felt empty.
Tang Feimo wanted to treat her to a movie, but she did not want to. She was not interested in skating either.
‘When she returned to the palace at night and saw her mother, the first thing she asked was, “Mommy, has Uncle… left?”
Jing Xi was preparing dinner. She did not turn around and answered directly, “Yes, they left bu he left you a gift. It’s in your room.”
“Okay.”
Ying Bao was curious. What would the king give her after he left?
