Chapter 1579: Finally Pleased!

“Mmm, yummy. Can I have another one?”

Little Grape felt like he wanted one more.

Jing Xi gave him another shredded coconut ball. Auntie Lan was amazed. They had tried whatever they could think of. But the little prince never liked the food.

Now with Jin Xiaoxi’s presence, he seemed to have found his appetite. How amazing!

Little Grape had two shredded coconut balls and asked for even one more. But Jing Xi did not give it to him. “Your Highness, you should not have too much of it right now. I have prepared various dishes. You can enjoy them at the picnic with your sister shortly.”

“OK.” Little Grape agreed. Usually, he would have been pissed off if they dared to disobey him.

Jing Xi and Auntie Lan prepared three baskets of food and beverages.

Auntie Lan also had others to get the stuff ready for picnicking.

“Xiaoxi, you stay here and take care of His Highness. I need to call His Majesty and Her Highness to get ready.”

“Sure.”

Shortly after Auntie Lan’s call, Ying Bao came downstairs in a cute dress, followed by their lofty king, Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen came to join his daughter and walked her down.

Getting downstairs he asked Yin Feng, “Is everything ready?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Then let’s go.”

Huo Yunshen held his daughter’s hand in his and walked along the hallway, where they ran into Jing Xi and Little Grape.

Huo Yunshen saw the woman in the veil holding his son and almost mistook her for Jing Xi again.

Oh my...

It was such torture for him to have such a similar figure in the royal palace.

Huo Yunshen was very reluctant to see her. But knowing that she had been taking good care of Little Grape, he had to bear with it.

Coming to the center of the palace, Huo Yunshen stopped with his daughter and called, “Hengheng!”

Hearing his father calling, Little Grape raised his head and looked at Auntie Xiaoxi. Jing Xi urged him, “Go ahead Your Highness. Your father is waiting for you.”

“Auntie Xiaoxi, are you coming with us?”

“I... I’m afraid I can’t.”

Jing Xi heard from Auntie Lan that they were going for a family picnic and would not bring many servants, especially not some newcomer like her.

Little Grape was upset. How he wished that she could join. Seeing that his father and sister were waiting, he ran to them and pulled on his father’s pants. “Daddy!”

“What’s up?” Huo Yunshen looked down and asked.

“Can Auntie Xiaoxi join us? I want her to come!”

Little Grape cuddled his father’s leg and begged, “Daddy! I want Auntie Xiaoxi...”

Seeing that his son was so close to this Jin Xiaoxi, Huo Yunshen sighed and had to give in. “Fine.”

“Yeah!”

Little Grape was finally pleased. He ran back to Jing Xi and pulled her out. “Auntie Xiaoxi, you can join us now!”

Jing Xi looked toward Huo Yunshen and saw that his lonely figure had already walked away.

The royal picnic was much more luxurious than she had expected.

They came to the newly built Longhua Park. It was closed and reserved for the royal family today.

A long line of limos drove into the park. It was intensively guarded and no one could come any closer.

They chose to have the picnic on the lawn beside Swan Lake. It was a very scenic spot surrounded by trees and blossoms.
