"Ahem, Wan Ge, don't talk about things too far ahead." How old is her youngest son? Isn't it too early to discuss these things now?
Moreover! Wan Ge probably doesn't even know what she's saying. She's only eight years old, what could she possibly understand? Maybe she just heard something from someone and that's why she said it.
Back in the main hall, upon hearing her mother say that she had made delicious pastries, Xia Wanye immediately let go of her sister's hand and ran towards her mother.
…
…
Soon the Emperor's birthday arrived. Wan Ge dressed up and, together with her mother and younger brother, boarded a carriage to head to the banquet.
When they arrived, many of the ministers' families were also there. In general, only the principal wife and legitimate sons and daughters could attend such a place, and the head of the family also held a very high position, usually in an important post in the capital.
Wan Ge's father held a high-ranking position, her mother came from a renowned scholarly family, and she herself was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. Despite being a princess who should have held a very high status, she was neglected because of her mother's affair.
The Empress and Consort Ling only had one son, so it can be said that Wan Ge has the highest status among all the girls now.
She was exceptionally beautiful, and while I can't guarantee she was proficient in all the arts by the age of eight, she was certainly quite skilled in them.
A girl like her instantly attracts a lot of attention the moment she appears.
Xu Chaoxi didn't notice what others were doing. She had been sitting for a long time and was about to get tired of it. Maybe she should sneak off to walk around and stretch her muscles.
But suddenly she felt warmth in her hand, and a soft, delicate little hand grasped hers.
Perhaps because she had been handling swords since she was a child, Xu Chaoxi's hands had started to develop calluses, but they still felt quite good to hold.
When Xu Chaoxi turned her head slightly, she saw a girl standing next to her who was a little shorter than herself. Long, curled eyelashes cast faint shadows, her skin was fair and delicate, and her features were even more beautiful than those in a painting.
When she first saw this girl, she felt that the girl was like a fairy who had fallen from the sky, not an ordinary person: "Sister, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Wan Ge smiled at her again, her eyebrows curving and her starry eyes sparkling, as if the ice and snow behind her had melted and spring had arrived.
"I never expected to see you here." Xu Chaoxi couldn't help but touch her head with his other hand. He had to admit that it felt really good.
"Where does Sister want to go?" Xu Chaoxi had already stood up. If Wange hadn't suddenly appeared, she probably would have left her seat already.
"Yeah, I've been waiting here for too long, I want to take a walk." Xu Chaoxi didn't hide anything from Wan Ge and told her what she had just wanted to do.
But what she really wanted to say was that seeing Wan Ge now made him no longer feel bored.
When Wan Ge heard her say that, she was afraid that she would wander into the Crown Prince's place again, so she said, "I know a little about the palace. How about I take my sister for a walk?"
"Sure." Xu Chaoxi was overjoyed that someone was willing to take her for a walk, so how could she refuse?
So the two of them left their seats together. Anyway, it hadn't started yet, and besides, not many people cared about their child's table.
…
However, Wan Ge did not expect that some predetermined events would still occur even if the course of events were changed.
Even though the original owner of this world didn't practice martial arts, Wan Ge's arrival gave her exceptionally good hearing. She could already hear the nearby Crown Prince being scolded.
