Chapter 296: Who dares to bring anyone into the palace
On the other side, Huo Linger brought Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu back to the palace and went directly to her own Linlangxuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Linlangxuan was originally built by the late emperor specifically for Huo Linger. It is extremely exquisite, luxurious and beautiful.
From the moment the little girl entered the dean's room, her face was filled with amazement. "Wow, this rockery is so beautiful! And this pillar is also so beautiful."
When she entered the house, she was even more shocked.
Huo Linger, Bai Kou and Bai Zhi were laughing secretly beside them.
You Zhu put on the veil again before entering the palace, not wanting to attract too much attention. At this moment, under the black veil, his expression was obviously eye-opening.
"Little Dumpling, this is definitely the most beautiful place in all of Beiman," Bai Zhi couldn't help but show off. "Each lamp in this room is worth a fortune, not to mention the various gems inlaid on this cabinet. You've probably never seen so many in your life."
Indeed, because various colorful gems are one of the things that the northern barbarians are rich in, they are indeed rare in Dajin.
"Hehe..." The little dumpling withdrew his gaze in a cowardly manner, "Princess sister, this place is really beautiful, more beautiful than any other place I have ever seen."
Huo Linger raised her chin proudly, "If you like, you can live here forever. I just happen to be in need of a playmate of the same age."
"Well..." The little girl stuck out her tongue, "I'm afraid I can't. I still have to go home, otherwise my parents will miss me."
Huo Linger's expression suddenly became a little unhappy. Obviously, after going through so much, she really regarded Xiaotuanzi as a very good friend, the kind that she could not bear to part with.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "So what's your home like? Is it in Dongyi City? Or somewhere else?"
"My home is far away." Little Tuanzi didn't want Huo Ling'er to ask more questions, so he ran over and took her arm affectionately. "In the future, if there is a chance, I will definitely invite you to my home as a guest, and..."
She had a fawning look on her face, "I'll probably be staying here with Princess Sister for a while, hehe..."
Huo Linger's expression indeed relaxed a lot after hearing this.
At this time, a voice came from outside, "The Barbarian Emperor has arrived! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Huo Linger frowned in dissatisfaction, looking as if she was not very welcoming to them.
Bai Kou couldn't help but say, "The Barbarian Emperor got the news pretty quickly."
She didn't dare to delay and hurried out with Bai Zhi to greet them.
Soon, the Barbarian King Huo Yan strode in with his son Huo Lie.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, so they had to show proper etiquette. Huo Linger immediately knelt down to greet them with Xiao Tuanzi and You Zhu.
"Ling'er greets the Emperor's uncle!" the little girl said respectfully.
Huo Yan immediately stepped forward with a smile, pulled Huo Ling'er up, and said in a choked voice, "My precious Ling'er, you're finally back. How could you leave the palace without saying anything? Do you know how worried the emperor's uncle was?"
"I'm sorry, uncle." Huo Ling'er lowered her head guiltily. "I heard that Bai Yunfeng appeared in Dongyi City, so I... brought Bai Kou and Bai Zhi with me and rushed over, hoping to avenge my father. But I didn't expect... I was still too late."
"You kid..." Huo Yan shook his head helplessly. "It's also your uncle's fault for being incompetent. He should have avenged your brother, but... I didn't expect Bai Yunfeng to be such a master of military strategy. We... were defeated again."
"Uncle, this is not your fault. Besides..." Huo Ling'er said to Huo Yan happily, "And the Lord of Dongyi City, Yun Tiankuo, has already taken Dongyi City back."
"Really?" Huo Yan's expression showed no emotion.
Huo Ling'er nodded. Before entering the palace, they had instructed her not to come to the capital on Yun Tiankuo's behalf, so she refrained from saying anything. However, she tentatively asked, "Uncle, can we take back Dongyi City?"
Huo Yan frowned and said nothing.
"Sister!" At this time, Huo Lie, who had been silent all this time, sneered and said, "We are all children, how could we understand these things? Let father make the decision himself."
"How can a child not understand?" Huo Ling'er clearly disliked Huo Lie, and her tone immediately became harsh. "Dongyi City is part of our country. Why should it be given to Dajin? This is something even a child would know."
"You!" Huo Lie was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Huo Ling'er. He could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, you understand, you understand best, but you still let Bai Yunfeng get away and couldn't even avenge your father."
"Lie'er!" Huo Yan scolded his son, "Don't hurt your sister's feelings like this."
Mentioning this, Huo Linger was indeed very sad. She lowered her head and whispered, "It's true that I'm useless."
"Okay, stop saying that. This is an adult matter. Just leave it to the emperor's uncle, okay?"
Huo Yan said without waiting for Huo Ling'er's consent, and turned his gaze to the people behind Huo Ling'er, "These two are..."
"Uncle, I forgot to introduce these two to you. They are good friends I met outside the palace," Huo Ling'er said, cheerful again, introducing them enthusiastically. "This sister is Li Suining, she saved me. And this guy, his name is Xiao Zhuzi... He is also my friend. I brought them to the palace as guests."
"I see." Huo Yan nodded in understanding. "Ling'er, it's really too lonely for you to be alone here in Linlangxuan. I'm happy for you to have made new friends."
"Haha..." Huo Lie sneered in dissatisfaction, "These two little beggars, who knows where they came from? My sister is really brave, she dares to bring anyone into the palace."
"Huo Lie!" Before Huo Ling'er could say anything, Huo Yan turned around and glared at his son. "No wonder your sister doesn't want to play with you. They're just two little kids, how could they be in any danger? Besides, with Bai Zhi and Bai Kou here, Linlangxuan is very safe."
Huo Lie curled his lips indifferently, but did not dare to talk back to Huo Yan.
"Ling'er, your safe return makes the Imperial Uncle very happy, and so will the people of the entire Northern Barbarians," Huo Yan said cheerfully. "How about this? The Imperial Uncle will host a banquet tonight to welcome you and your friends. How about that?"
"Okay." Huo Ling'er was very happy. She turned around and took the little dumpling's hand. "That's great. The emperor's uncle is going to prepare a banquet for us. You can enjoy many delicacies that can only be found in the palace. Why don't you thank the emperor's uncle?"
Little Dumpling secretly looked at the Barbarian King from time to time and thought that this person seemed to welcome Huo Linger back, but he also felt that something was not right.
After hearing Huo Ling'er's words, she quickly collected her thoughts and bowed her head to express her gratitude, "Sui Ning thanks the Emperor's uncle for the hospitality!"
"So good!" Huo Yan smiled, his eyes swept over You Zhu, "Okay, then you guys get ready, I'll go back and get ready too. Let's have some fun tonight."
Soon, he left with Huo Lie.
