Today, Xiao Ai will face her first job interview, meeting Queen Ireil, Su Cheng's mother, and Princess Pingji.
During the short lunch break, although she was a little tired, Xiao Ai still wanted to go and cuddle with her mother.
She hadn't seen her mother for half a month, so she decided to go to the Council Hall to see her. Usually, her mother would be helping her father in a side hall of the Council Hall at this time. Although Xiao Ai didn't know what her mother was busy with every day, she knew that her mother was always very busy.
But today, it seemed like a meeting was being held here, so Xiao Ai didn't rush in, even though the two guards at the door didn't dare to stop her.
Peeking into the side hall with its striking pink head, one could see a dozen generals in armor sitting around a table talking.
Soon, Xiao Ai made eye contact with one of the generals, and waved to him as a greeting.
After all, she is a princess. Even if they weren't that close, Xiao Ai could still call out more than half of her names.
The general Xiao Ai greeted was named Su Le. General Su Le was the youngest among the generals, only twenty-two years old, and was an ever-victorious general transferred from Qing Cang's 75th Army. Moreover, he had a handsome appearance and an approachable personality, and was highly valued by King Ateston.
Xiao Ai didn't go into the council hall. The bearded men inside all looked fierce, and Xiao Ai didn't like them.
In Xiao Ai's eyes, only General Su Le treated her well. Every time he came back, he would bring her small gifts and help her teach a lesson to the boys who bullied her.
However, Su Le, being in a meeting, simply smiled in response.
However, even though Xiao Ai never intended to disrupt the important operational meeting of the generals, she was still discovered very quickly.
A room full of tall, burly men involuntarily turned their gazes toward the little pink head at the door.
A group of rough men looked at the cute little guy and actually put down their work. The tense atmosphere in the council hall immediately relaxed, just like when they were discussing how to make a cream cake.
"Oh, isn't this our princess? Come over and chat with your uncles."
Upon hearing this, the pink head that was peeking out from the doorway quickly withdrew: "No way! If I go over there, you'll definitely poke me with your beard again, hmph!"
"Come on, your father and mother aren't here. Come and chat with your uncles! If you don't come, we'll come and get you!"
Xiao Ai clasped her little hands together and peeked out from behind the door, carefully looking around the council hall. Indeed, neither her father nor her mother were there.
Xiao Ai thought about it for a moment and decided not to go to her mother. Her mother was probably busy again and wouldn't have time to pay attention to her.
Xiao Ai had just climbed over the threshold when she was caught by a rough-looking man in military uniform.
The man carried her to the table, and Xiao Ai, unfazed, sat down on the thick stack of documents.
"I say, Your Highness?" It was a fat general speaking. The general had white eyebrows and a white beard, and he looked a bit fierce, but Xiao Ai wasn't afraid at all.
Xiao Ai knew that these people were all her father's men and wouldn't bully her.
"Um?"
"I heard that our princess has also learned to dance?"
Xiao Ai tilted her head back, looking quite arrogant. "Yes."
Her two sentences made the generals burst into laughter, and they all said that she really had the air of a domineering little princess.
Just then, someone said, "If you ask me, he definitely won't be able to learn it!" It was clearly a provocation, but it was surprisingly effective on this domineering little princess.
Xiao Ai wouldn't tolerate anyone saying she wasn't good enough.
"Nonsense! The teacher praised me today! She said I jumped really well!"
Even though Xiao Ai said that, those guys were all old foxes. Although they didn't say it, they all put on a show of disbelief.
They were either pretending to whisper amongst themselves, or they were crossing their arms and shaking their heads...
"You don't believe me?"
The little guy was clearly getting restless. He kicked aside the document, which belonged to some unknown general, to make room for himself, and then, as he spoke, he was about to show off his skills to the group of generals.
This is the conference table of the Council Hall in Aston Royal City. Even this table never imagined that one day someone would sit on it, let alone dance on it.
Her little face was puffed up with anger, which made everyone find her adorable. Her small body moved clumsily as she danced. She followed the few moves the teacher taught her, and then added a few moves that she thought were very pretty. Finally, she didn't forget to bow.
Everyone couldn't help but suppress their laughter and applaud her. When Xiao Ai got angry, her puffed-up face looked like a little steamed bun. The little bun danced on the table, and even though it looked like just children's gymnastics, everyone still enjoyed watching it.
"So! Do you believe me now?"
"Yes, Her Highness the Princess has almost charmed us guys." Everyone was grinning from ear to ear; Xiao Ai's arrival had even made the atmosphere in the council hall more cheerful.
However, before Xiao Ai could sign autographs or take photos with the generals, she heard her mother's voice.
"Xiao Ai has come to the Council Hall?"
Xiao Ai was stunned when she heard the sound, even though she was still standing on the conference table!
The guard at the door replied, and as he spoke, Chi Yao stepped into the side hall, where she happened to see Xiao Ai standing on the table with a blank expression.
"Hehe, I apologize, generals. The princess is playful, and I didn't pay attention to her. She ran here and caused you all trouble."
Upon hearing this, the generals quickly stood up. Although as generals they would naturally not take a woman seriously, this queen was not someone to be trifled with, and they still had to put on a show.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, what are you saying? The princess is so intelligent and charming, we brothers are too happy to even think about it! How could it be considered a burden?"
Chi Yao didn't take it too seriously. If it weren't for the real power she held, she probably wouldn't even be able to enter this side hall, let alone Xiao Ai.
However, many things are just a thin layer of paper covering them, and at this moment, Xiao Ai obviously couldn't see through that layer of paper. She only felt that she herself was really likable.
After exchanging a few polite words, Chi Yao pressed down the unruly little princess, apologized for her rudeness, and then left.
All the way there, Xiao Ai kept saying, "Mom, they tricked me into going in! It was that white-bearded guy, he's the worst!"
"Xiao Ai, don't be rude!" Chi Yao affectionately pinched Xiao Ai's nose, then got down to business: "Xiao Ai, would you like to come with Mommy to see a friend?"
Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment: "Mom, you don't dislike Xiao Ai anymore and are going to give her away to another family, do you?"
Chi Yao was amused and thought to herself that Xiao Ai must have read some book she shouldn't have read again!
However, giving it to someone else would also make sense...
"Hehe, Mother did find a good family for Xiao Ai, but it's not a gift, it's a marriage!"
