However, Jian Qingqing soon realized that something was wrong. Anneval had been standing there without moving.
She frowned and quickly pulled on Anneval’s sleeve to make him squat down.
Fortunately, they moved quickly and no one noticed that something was wrong.
Jian Qingqing was filled with doubts. She planned to ask Anneval some more questions after she returned.
The Emperor happily called for everyone to get up. Anneval moved a few steps away guiltily and let Xiao Lang between him and Jian Qingqing.
Xiao Lang was still laughing heartlessly, not Imowing what had happened.
However, Xiao Ye had noticed that Anneval was unwilling to kneel just now. He frowned. Who was this guy?
The Empress brought Princess An Ning along to say a few words before starting to sit down.
What followed was no different from a normal banquet. They sat together to eat and drink, but generally, no one would eat and drink as much as they could because they had to pay attention to their image. Most of them sat together and chatted about boring and competitive topics.
The Empress smiled and waved at Jian Qingqing, saying, “Qingqing, come and sit with us.”
The Empress sat at the main table. Jian Qingqing was a little embarrassed, ‘ My younger brothers…”
The Empress looked at the four people behind her, and her attention was immediately attracted by Anneval’s eye-catching face. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked in surprise, “Who is that child?”
Jian Qingqing explained, “It’s a child I saved. His name is Anneval. He’s from MO Lan. He plays very well with Xiao Hu and the others, so I brought him along.”
“I’ve never seen someone from MO Lan before!” Princess An Ning said excitedly. “He’s so beautiful! He’s like an exquisitely carved jade doll! Are all MO Lan people so good-looking?”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Anneval did not have stage fright. He bowed and said, “Anneval greets the Empress and Princess An Ning. The Empress and Princess An Ning are also the second most beautiful people this boy has ever seen.”
“Who’s the most good-looking?” Princess An Ning asked curiously.
Anneval smiled and said mischievously, “Of course it’s my mother. In my heart, my mother is the most beautiful. So if my mother doesn’t participate in the evaluation, the Empress and the Princess will be the most beautiful.”
His words made everyone laugh out loud. The Empress had an inexplicable good impression of this child, and there was also a sense of familiarity. She asked in puzzlement, “How did you come to Great Wei? MO Lan and Great Wei are very far apart, it’s not easy to come here.”
Anneval sighed and said in melancholy, “It’s a long story. I originally wanted to look for my father, but when I first arrived here, I was kind enough to help an old man. I didn’t expect to fall into a trap and be kidnapped. The person who kidnapped me brought me all the way to the Capital. When I was escaping, I was saved by Sister Qingqing.”
The Empress looked at him with heartache. “Are you alright now?
Anneval shook his head and said gratefully, “Thank you for your concern, Empress. Everything is fine now.”
The Empress heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come and look for me… Princess An Ning will help you resolve it.
Princess An Ning also nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. If you have any problems, you can come to me.. Didn’t you want to find your father? Have you found him? Do you need me to send someone to help you find him?”
