Morning arrived accompanied by soothing sounds of nature, Xio Ling woke up from his sleep because he heard the sound of birds chirping.
"My sleep is so comfortable that even waking up in the morning feels refreshed and peaceful, different from when the alarm always sounded loudly making me rush and on the road I was stuck in traffic, dust, heat, and pollution," said Xio Ling.
-We now call Michelle as Xio Ling, yeah friends, but to think about it we use the name Michelle-
"Your Majesty, you are awake, I have prepared hot water with the scent of your noble favorite lavender," said Zuri.
Lavenderit turns out we have one taste, Xio Ling, "thought Michelle.
"Mm fine thank you, where's Yuri?" Asked Xio Ling.
"He went to the palace kitchen to take the noble food ingredients" said Zuri.
"Okay then I want to take a bath first, and leave me alone first" said Xio Ling.
"Alright, your Excellency, I will excuse you and I will prepare a noble outfit," said Zuri as he bowed his body to leave.
After Zuri came out, Xio Ling went to the bathroom then took off all his clothes and left only thin clothes on his body. xio Ling was soaking and inhaling the scent of lavender while leaning in the tub and closing her eyes, no one knows what this beautiful girl was thinking.
He was soaking for a long time, finally Xio Ling opened his eyes and immediately went out of the bathroom.
When he got out of the bathroom, he was surprised by Yuri, Zuri and the other servants who brought layers of hanfu clothes.
"Huh… what a troublesome dress" complained Xio Ling.
She also put on the dress one by one, the pure white hanfu decorated with a hint of cherry blossoms, what a beautiful simple outfit.
After that he was facing the mirror of his dressing table.
"Your noble permission, you need help getting dressed?" asked Zuri because he knew that Xio Ling's daughter was not good at preening.
"Thank you but it's not necessary I can do it myself" said xio Ling in a gentle tone and did not forget her cute smile.
Yuri and Zuri were surprised by the answer from their daughter, then they stepped back a little to make room for their lord.
xio Ling started to dress up, her face was swept with a light make-up that exudes beauty, plus her lips are as bright as a cherry.
"Actually, this girl is very beautiful, but she doesn't know how to take care of yourself in modern style," thought Michelle.
after that he tied his hair a little at the top left and right then put it together in one more knot leaving the other hair down beautifully.
"Her hair is also really beautiful if Sua can see she's jealous" Michelle thought happily as she missed her best friend.
"Done," said Michelle.
Yuri and Zuri immediately looked at their daughter.
they were shocked because their ordinary daughter even said that their daughter was ugly, now turned into a very beautiful woman even more beautiful than the pingle princess. Maybe this beauty could bring down the empire.
" What is wrong?Is there something strange about my appearance? "asked Xio Ling in surprise.
"Nobody, you are so perfect" said Yuri who was still staring in awe at xio Ling.
"Your Majesty is very beautiful, even your beauty can surpass all the beauty of women in this empire, which is glorious," said Zuri enthusiastically.
"Thank you, you praise me too much" said Xio Ling.
"Your Majesty the food is ready, you want to eat in this room or outside under the apple tree where you usually eat" asked Zuri.
"Eating under an apple tree? It's like a picnic, isn't it? It's been a long time since I felt the beauty of nature," thought Michelle.
"Hmm, I want to eat under the apple tree," said Michelle.Not long after that, Michelle came out to go to the table that was roofed with the shady leaves of the apple tree, not forgetting that she pocketed a thin veil and slipped a dagger in the arm of her Hanfu as she used to slip a small knife in a special sock.
when the door opened, the guards immediately looked down to greet their daughter, they were shocked and also fascinated when they saw a beautiful angel coming out of their daughter's residence who was she? was that a princess? why was it so beautiful? Inner them.
Yuri immediately whispered to one of the bodyguards who was still fascinated by Xio Ling.
"You may be fascinated but keep your eyes on her. She is our daughter, your gaze seems to want to swallow her alive" whispered Yuri.
"So it's really a princess?" Whispered the guard who realized it
Yuri replied with only a nod, and returned behind Xio Ling to follow him to the table under the apple tree beside Xio Ling's little residence.
They arrived at a wooden floor place right under the tree with a special table for Xio Ling's dining area.
zuri also poured the tea very gracefully according to xio Ling.
Xioling also perverted his tea in a style that was no less graceful because Michelle had always learned about manners in behavior in the mansion.
It was very beautiful to look at according to Yuri and Zuri.
"This tea is very delicious and soothing. Does the taste of tea have an effect with the times?" Thought Michelle.
Xio Ling started to eat the food that had been served.
"What is this food why it tastes weird but it's not bad, it's just weird with a new taste that touches my tongue" thought Michelle.
"Is there anything strange with his noble food" asked Zuri.
"Yes, this tastes very strange," thought Michelle.
"Ah no, this is good" said Xio Ling because he felt bad if he spoke his heart.
Michelle finished her meal because she was hungry.
After eating, he was facing upwards, he swallowed his saliva when he saw an apple that grew perfectly and fresh on the tree.
"Please call me a bodyguard over here" said Xio Ling and Yuri immediately withdrew to call the guards.
The guards came and immediately bowed towards Xio Ling.
"You get me that apple" said Xio Ling with a smile while pointing at the apple that was on a branch that was difficult to reach.
The guard immediately climbed the tree and when he was above he forgot which fruit Xio Ling's daughter had asked for because he thought everything was the same because the fruit on the tree was very thick.
"This one's your highness?" Asked the bodyguard, pointing at the apple that is close to him.
"Not that but the end," said Michelle, pointing at the correct fruit.
The guard swallowed hard because the branch to climb was small but he did not give up, he immediately went to the designated place.
After arriving, he immediately picked the apple.
one apple had been picked and he immediately threw it at Yuri.
"Ouch it hurts, if you want to throw it, talk first" Yuri grumbled, rubbing her head that had been hit by an apple.
"Hahaha, your face is so cute" Xio Ling laughed when the incident happened.
all of a sudden everyone was stunned to see the joyful laughter of their daughter, laughter that was very charming and soothing.
"Come on, pick some more" said Michelle to the bodyguard who had been stunned to see it.
The bodyguard picked five more fruits and threw them at Yuri. This time Yuri caught the apples with the focus so that nothing embarrassing could happen.
"That's enough, come down let's eat apples together" said Xio Ling with a smile on his face.
they were surprised as if they received an invitation to food from the palace.
Immediately the bodyguard tried to get off the little branch.
Kreek ...
They all fell silent when they heard that, they too Xio Ling, Yuri and Zuri looked compactly at the bodyguard and ....
Bruk ...
the guard fell, luckily the branch was not too high.
"Hahahahahahhahaah"
The three of them laughed because it was very funny according to them.
The guard spat out a red burst on his cheeks because of his shame.
BRAAK ...
the sound of the gate of Sakura's residence being opened loudly because it was when their daughter was sick that the gate was temporarily closed.
All of them at the Sakura residence were shocked.
"Your Majesty ... the noble in front is ..." said the other bodyguards who came to face Xio Ling.
xio Ling did not listen to the bodyguard's words until it was over, he immediately ran towards the front yard of his residence.
And it turned out that what came was ...
