Chapter 518: My devious husband
The emperor’s speech was concluded and a female singer of folk music took to the stage, singing a song that was beloved by the older generation. With the speeches over, the stiff environment became somewhat freer. Conversations were launched among the people and interactions ensued. The foreign dignitaries went forward to greet the emperor, shake hands with him and take pictures. The princes and Princess too took part in this ritual, clearly very used to the proceedings as they needed no direction.
"Do we have to go infront and greet them too?" Chi Lian asked Muyang.
"No." he said softly, we can simply sit here and wait for directions to the buffet. Or servants can deliver our meals to us depending on one’s choice. Either way, if you are hungry you can now eat the snacks I am sure you managed to sneak in."
Chi Lian opened her mouth to deny but she just laughed in the end because it was undeniable. Muyang knew her too well and he also knew that no matter which bag she carried, she somehow managed to have something to eat, a drink, sweets and a toy, in there.
"Okay okay," she said in surrender, "You caught me, I have snacks in here."
Muyang pushed his body closer to her and he said, "Tell me something, how are you able to carry so many things in such a small bag?"
She stuck her tongue out at him playfully and whispered, "It’s my secret, I am not telling."
"Not even me!" He feigned shock.
"Mmm, in future I will share all my little secrets with you." She said after a few seconds of thought. "We should probably check on the children now, right?"
