Chapter 44: Going to Helian Palace to Celebrate Birthday
It was the birthday of the old prince of the Helian Palace. Most of the dignitaries in Kyoto City went to congratulate him. The street of the palace was bustling with cars since noon.
"Master Zhang, here we are."
"Master Li, please go first."
"You're welcome, let's go."
The court officials came in with official tone and smiles.
"Hey, look, isn't that General Xiang?"
"It seems so. When did General Xiang return to the capital?"
"He's holding a baby girl. Whose is it?"
Many people stopped at the gate to watch, puzzled.
Xiang Minghou walked in holding Ye Qianning, and everyone came forward to greet them.
"General Xiang, long time no see."
"General Xiang is going to Beijing without informing us so that we can welcome you."
"Come, come, it's great that everyone is here. Let me introduce you. This is my daughter." Xiang Minghou came forward holding the baby.
“…”
Everyone was obviously stunned. Everyone knew that General Xiang was seriously injured. Where did this kid come from?
Ye Qianning felt a little embarrassed when facing the gazes of so many people. The best way to cover it up was to smile, so she used her best skills and smiled like a flower.
I have to say that beautiful dolls are all lethal.
"When did General Xiang have a daughter? She's so pretty."
"Congratulations on having such a lovely daughter.
"General Xiang, I'm afraid you may have stolen the little girl."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Nonsense, this is my own daughter, my own child." Xiang Minghou smiled happily.
It’s great to have a daughter. She will be so popular.
"Oh, General Xiang, you are here. Please come in, please come in. The old prince was just talking about you." The housekeeper of the palace hurried out to greet the visitor when he saw him.
Marquis Xiang Ming threw the gift in his hand to the butler, then walked in with the baby in his arms, smiling.
The butler trotted after him and said, "General, the old prince asked me to come out to see if you have arrived. If you have, the old prince invites you to the study for a chat."
"Okay." Xiang Minghou nodded.
"Daddy." Ye Qianning called out.
"What's wrong?"
"Nan Xiang is there." Ye Qianning pointed over with his little finger.
At the same time, Nan Xiang also saw Ye Qianning and raised her hand to greet him: "Fatty, Fatty."
Princess Changyang turned around and saw the two of them. She greeted the women around her and walked towards them.
"Your Highness." He bowed to Marquis Ming.
"I never thought that Fatty is actually General Xiang's daughter. General Xiang is so lucky." Princess Changyang praised. After listening to Sang Yan's description of what happened that day, she had great admiration for General Xiang in her heart.
"I have to thank the princess for taking her in. Otherwise, I would have missed such a good girl. I will definitely visit you someday." Marquis Xiang Ming said with a smile.
"You're so polite, General. This princess also has a connection with Fatty."
"To the general." The butler beside him couldn't help but urge.
"Dad, you go. I want to be with Nan Xiang." Ye Qianning said.
Xiang Minghou was a little hesitant.
"General Xiang, just hand Fatty over to me." Princess Changyang said kindly.
"Alright." Marquis Xiang Ming put Ye Qianning down and warned, "You and the princess must not wander around. The palace is very big, don't get lost."
Ye Qianning nodded.
"Don't worry, General. I will give you a safe and sound daughter at the banquet later." Who would have thought that the general who was rumored to have killed so many people would be so procrastinating at this time.
Xiang Minghou was not embarrassed and gave some more instructions before leaving.
Princess Changyang couldn't help but praise him in her heart. It seemed that he was indeed a good father. This made her feel much more relieved.
