Not everyone liked to be surprised, especially if it was not a pleasant one.
Xia Qiao knew about it, and that was why she looked doubtful when Lan Zihao told her that they would surprise the Emperor and all the officials in the palace today. The Prince suddenly looked very childish, and it was very unnatural in Xia Qiao's eyes. Thus, she didn't even know how to react when she heard the man's idea.
Lan Zihao had brought her into Mingzhi Hall today after he had managed to force her into a wedding dress, and how they had suddenly appeared at the hall dressed in bright red was enough to shock all the guards guarding the room.
She could even see how the guards guarding the Shanliang Room turned pale upon seeing their appearances at the front of the room, and they looked even paler when Lan Zihao ordered them to report to the Emperor about his arrival.
