âAlright, you can continue to lie down and rest. Iâve already applied for leave for you. You donât have to go to school today. Xuanye and his fiancée will come to the palace to visit at noon. When the time comes, you will be responsible for receiving them!â
Ying Bao felt like she was being forced to stomach her agony. She did not want to welcome Uncle King and his fiancée, but her mother had already made arrangements and left the room.
Ying Bao lay back on the bed, but she was not sleepy at all. She forced her eyes open and lay there for an hour before finally getting up.
The king was coming to the palace. She could not let him see her dispirited look. She had to show her confidence.
At least, she could not let Shen Wanxin look down on her.
With this thought in mind, Ying Bao got the motivation to get out of bed. She washed up and changed into a beautiful dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she still looked youthful and lively, but her eyes were swollen like walnuts. What should she do?
While they were eating breakfast, Ying Baoâs brothers saw her coming and laughed at her. Ying Bao asked gloomily, âStop laughing, whatâs so funny?â
âSis, you donât look like Princess Cherry. You look like a frog princess! Croakâ¦â
Ying Bao :ââ¦â
Apple quickly corrected him. âNo, no, I should call her Princess Walnut, hahaha.â
Ying Bao was so angry that she knocked their heads with her chopsticks. âWho told you two to gloat? Hurry up and eat!â
Only Little Strawberry was her sisterâs most loyal fan. She said enviously, âWow, sisterâs eyes are good friends. I also want walnut-like eyes.â
â âYing Bao rubbed her sisterâs little head. She really didnât know whether to be angry or laugh. âDonât be anxious. You will have a pair when you grow up.â
âThatâs great!â Little Strawberry said excitedly. âSis, Mommy said you donât have to go to school today. Can you play with me?â
âCan you play on your own? I donât feel like playing games today,â Ying Bao said apologetically.
Strawberry pursed her lips and said, âOkay then. Mommy also said that Brother Feimo will come to our house. I can play with him
âOh.â
Ying Bao did not say anything else. She thought that if Brother Feimo came too, she would not feel awkward when she saw Huangfu Xuanye and Shen Wanxin in the afternoon.
The whole morning passed very slowly. Ying Bao had never felt so miserable waiting for someone. She wanted to see the king, but she was also afraid to see him. She was in a dilemma.
It was around 9 am when Tang Feimo arrived at the palace.
The moment he saw Ying Bao, Tang Feimo stared at her eyes for a long time and asked, âWhy are your eyes like this?â
âAre they ugly?â Ying Bao asked.
âAlittle.â
Every time he spoke, he would save her from embarrassment. So Ying Bao felt that her eyes should be really ugly.
âWhat should she do?
How was she supposed to face anyone with her ugly appearance today?
âTheard that the king of the Northern Kingdom is coming. Should we prepare something?â Tang Feimo asked.
âYouâre doing great. The problem lies with me me. I donât have the face to face anyone now. Why donât you wait for me for a while? Iâl go back to my room and dress up.â
Ying Bao then ran back to her room.
Tang Feimo stood where he was and was about to find a place to sit and wait for Ying Bao. Just as he was about to jump, he felt his thighs tighten.
He lowered his head and saw that it was the little devil, Little Strawberry. The little girl had a cute little face and her big eyes were glistening in a lively manner. Her eyelashes were thick and long, and she had really inherited all the good genes of her parents.
