Liu Wan looked at her anxiously, afraid of missing anything.
What a shame. According to the plot, the Nanmei Kingdom Envoy will enter the palace after the first snow. Those villains will curse Auntie Empress Dowager and Auntie Imperial Consort Dowager, making them persuade Uncle Emperor to cede cities and throw the Great Xia Dynasty into chaos...
Later, the Nanmei Kingdom will take those cities, and Auntie Empress Dowager and Auntie Imperial Consort Dowager will die from the cursing.
How hateful! Why can't I talk yet?!
If only Mother would bury me again.
Everyone at the table froze.
Only the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Consort Dowager kept playing with the little one, enjoying themselves immensely.
The little one's brows remained knitted. Even as she ate the delicious food, she did not look happy in the slightest.
Xia Qianlin found this strange. Wanting to find out whether the voice he had heard was real, he stood up to report it, only for Xia Siheng to press him back into his seat.
Xia Qianlin looked at him curiously.
Xia Siheng broke the silence. "The little one doesn't seem very happy. Does she want to go out and play?"
Liu Wan smiled helplessly. "She loves playing beneath the Coral Tree in Splendid Palace."
"Qianlin, you've finished eating too. Take Wanwan out to play for a while. We adults still have some things to discuss."
The emperor turned and gave the Crown Prince his instructions.
Xia Qianlin stood and nodded. "Yes, Father. Ninth Imperial Uncle, Imperial Grandmother, Grandmother Imperial Consort Dowager, I'll take my leave."
The Empress Dowager reluctantly handed the child to him.
Watching the young Crown Prince carry her daughter toward the door, Liu Wan did not stop him.
She knew nothing would happen to the Crown Prince in the palace.
