Luo Ziying led them to Riverside Restaurant and arranged their accommodations, then personally went to prepare dinner for them.
"So beautiful." Xia Nian leaned against the window and took in the scenery outside. In the quiet night, she could even hear the surging water of the Long River.
That night, Emperor Xia and Luo Ziying discussed the situation of the four kingdoms and the dynasty. In their eyes, even the peace on the surface would be unable to be maintained, and the day of chaos was close at hand.
After leaving Jiang City, they would be able to leave Xia Country and enter West Asia after a day's journey.
The further north they went, the colder they could feel the autumn in the north.
After traveling for nearly half a month, they finally arrived at the capital of West Asia. Xia Country's palace was located in the southern suburbs of the capital. It was a courtyard with a rich Jiangnan aura.
After resting for two days, Emperor Xia brought Xia Zhao and Xia Nian to the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor of West Asia.
The huge palace was decorated with carved beams and painted pillars. The Emperor of West Asia was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne at the end of the hall. Xia Nian had heard that the Emperor in front of her was not loved by the people. He was a murderous person and favored treacherous officials. He was not a benevolent ruler.
"Long live our emperor!"
"Rise." The Emperor's lazy voice rang out. He waved his hand to summon the dancers to laugh." Hurry up and invite Emperor Xia to take a seat."”
"Thank you, Emperor."
"Emperor Xia will be bringing the prince and princess to Shang Xuan Palace's banquet tonight.”
Lowering her head and playing with her fingers, Xia Nian looked obedient. She had long despised the Emperor of West Asia in her heart.
"Emperor, King Chu has brought the prince to pay his respects.”
"Oh? Let them in."
Emperor Xia bowed." Since King Chu has come to pay his respects to Your Majesty, I will take my leave first.”
"Mm, that's good too."
When she left the Imperial City, Xia Nian met the Seventh Prince Geng Ziya for the first time. No one would have thought that the low-key and unfavored Seventh Prince would hide himself so deeply.
"Emperor Xia."
"Seventh Highness."
After Geng Ziya left, Xia Nian asked," Father, who is he?”
"The emperor's son is ranked seventh. His mother was an official slave. After the emperor took a fancy to her, she forced him to be born. In the Emperor's eyes, his mother was too lowly and even he was not favored.”Emperor Xia felt that he had said too much and could only say," Remember, don't get too close to him.”
"I understand."
"The palace is so big that Nian 'er's legs are sore.”Although the palace of Xia Country was not as big as the Imperial City, it was not small either. Every time Xia Nian walked around the palace, there would always be a sedan behind her, so that when she was tired, this little ancestor could sit in it.
"Soon."
Xia Zhao reached out to hold Xia Nian's hand." I'll hold your hand."”
A wave of warmth came from the place where his hands were clasped.”
Xia Nian's empty right hand held Emperor Xia's left hand." Hehe, Nian 'er is the happiest."”
Yes, Xia Nian was the happiest. She had parents who loved her and a brother who loved her.
Geng Ziya stood in the distance and watched Xia Nian walk away. She looked at the skinny back and her two hands were held by her father and brother. She must be very happy, but what about herself? His Imperial Father had never smiled in front of him, and his Imperial Mother had been crying all day long. Even his elder brother had mocked him for being a b * tch.
People were indeed different. Although Gengzi Ya was a prince, what kind of prince was he? Their hard work was never praised, and if they did something wrong, they would be beaten, scolded, and punished. "Humph!"
"Master, you still have to pay your respects to His Majesty. If you delay any longer, it will be too late.”
"Let's go."
