Ming Shu was eating at the banquet from beginning to end, which really shocked many people present.
Had she been abused while she was missing? More importantly, how was it possible for her to stuff all that food inside her stomach?
You're the royal princess, shouldn't you pay attention to your noble image?!
"Uncle." Princess Rong Hua carried a glass of wine and walked to the seat next to Ming Shu, steps elegant and small. Her voice was so tender that it could be compared a puddle of spring water. "Here's to you, Uncle, welcome home."
Princess Rong Hua was standing in front of King Huai like an innocent lamb. Ming Shu felt that as long as one was not blind, one could tell what this little girl was thinking.
Ming Shu put her head on her arms, lying upon the table and looking at the two people next to her smilingly.
Princess Rong Hua and King Huai are biological uncle and niece?
Although in ancient times people didn't value much blood relations much, they didn't have the precedent of marrying a princess to a lord, a brother of the emperor, right? Is this world too terrible, or is it that Princess Rong Hua is too scary?
King Huai was unmoved by Princess Rong Hua. He just mechanically drank his wine, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The shyness on Princess Rong Hua's face was slowly replaced by grievance and embarrassment. She bit her bottom lip and tightened her hand around the wine glass. "Uncle..."
"Brother King Huai, what's this about? Rong Hua respects you, do you have to put on airs?" The emperor looked to the side, laughing still, but one could hardly tell his emotion or mood from his tone.
Hearing this, the ministers were startled again.
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Princess Rong Hua.]
What?
Ming Shu blinked. She had found out that additional tasks are based on triggering conditions. They often measured the "good" points between two people. If zero, then the two are strangers and have no relation with each other; if negative, then the person could become a potential subject that Ming Shu needed to gain Hatred Points from.
When the negative value reached a critical point, the Harmony System would issue a task.
This triggering mode was figured out by Ming Shu on her own. It should be correct, but as to the specifics, only the Harmony System knew.
However... I didn't do anything just now! Why does Princess Rong Hua hate me more? Inexplicable!
But it doesn't matter. For the sake of the snacks... I'm sorry, Princess Rong Hua.
"Your Highness, since Uncle is not willing to drink with you, allow me?" Ming Shu raised her glass and smiled widely.
Shen Ci had a good appearance, with white skin, delicate eyebrows, and tender as water. She was a typical Jiangnan woman. Now she was smiling like a bright moon, and her whole person was shining with gentleness. People couldn't bear to talk to her loudly.
If Princess Rong Hua was smart enough, she would follow the words of Ming Shu so that no one needed to feel embarrassed. However, Princess Rong Hua didn't care about Ming Shu at all. She didn't want to hear any words from Ming Shu's mouth, so she directly rejected.
"Who wants to drink with you, I'm talking to my uncle, is it your turn to speak?"
"Rong Hua." The emperor called Princess Rong Hua and pretended to be angry. "Mind your attitude, you are talking to the royal princess, where are the manners of your daily studies?"
