Bab 55: Bonus Chapter: A Small Star Vs the Sun

—XINGHUA'S POV—

"He is the most important child in the world right now, Xinghua. His visit could very well bring our empire more prosperity as well as gain your father's favor. You are the only one of the Emperor's children close to the young prince's age so I implore you to keep him happy, entertained and satisfied at all times. Is that clear?"

"Yes, mother."

"Mother?"

"…Yes, Favored Imperial Consort."

He kept repeating his mother's orders in his mind as he stood beside his eldest brother in the throne room, their father behind them on his overly extravagant throne.

Xing Hua glanced up at his oldest brother, and immediately corrected that mistake when he was met with a glare. His brother was on edge. Making a mistake would've surely brought him immense punishment.

Crown Prince Li Tian Fu was a harsh man to grow under, and Xing Hua had admired him since he was a toddler.
