Dinner was ready. The servants helped to bring the food to the table. Ying Bao called her siblings over and everyone sat down to eat.
At the dining table, Huo Yunshen would ask about the childrenâs studies. Then he remembered something and asked, âOh right, Cherryâs birthday is coming soon, right?â
âItâs this Sunday.â
âWell, then you have to prepare well for a birthday party. When the time comes, you can invite all your classmates to your house to celebrate,â Huo Yunshen said.
âReally?â
âOf course!â Huo Yunshen looked at his daughterâs beautiful face and said, âThis yearâs birthday is very special. Not only is it your 18th birthday, but it is also your coming of age ceremony. After this birthday, you will be a big girl!â
âAwesome! Daddy, donât forget to prepare a present for me!â Ying Bao said happily.
âOf course.â
Ying Bao began to plan the birthday party and said, âOther than inviting my classmates, I also want to invite Brother Feimo and Uncle King.â
Ying Bao had changed her way of addressing Huangfu Xuanye to âUncle King.â Because Huangfu Xuanye was 12 years older than her, he was already 30 years old.
âSure. You can call in advance to invite Xuanye so that he can make time after your dinner.â
âMm.â
Ying Bao was in a very good mood. She quickly finished her dinner and said politely, âDaddy, Mommy, you guys take your time. You guys take your time too. Iâm done eating, Iâll go back to my room first.â
Ying Bao left the table and ran out happily.
Jing Xi looked at her daughterâs back and said with a smile, âSheâs already 18 years old and still looks like a child who wonât grow up. Why is this child becoming more and more childish?â
âThis is how she should look at her age. Youth and vigor.â
Huo Yunshen felt that it might not be a good thing if Ying Bao was too mature when she was young.
âMommy, can I celebrate my birthday with Sis too?â Little Strawberry asked.
âOf course! You can have a share in your sisterâs birthday cake!â
Jing Xi rubbed her youngest daughterâs face. This little girlâs chubby face was even cuter than Ying Baoâs when she was young.
It was one thing to be cute when she was young, but the baby fat had always been with her. Even now, it was still very cute.
âWill Strawberry have present?â
So this was what the little girl was concerned about!
âYes! Daddy and Mommy also prepare gifts for Strawberry!â
Jing Xi told the little girl this and so that she would be satisfied and continued to eat. Ever since he was a child, she had to imitate his sister in everything. Whatever her sister had, she had to have it too. She especially liked what her sister liked.
For example, whenever Tang Feimo came to the palace, the little girl would talk to her non-stop.
â¦
In the princess room.
Ying Bao called Tang Feimo first and talked about her birthday. The call only ended after half an hour. Then she called Huangfu Xuanye, who was far away in the Northern Kingdom.
Huangfu Xuanye had just finished his checkup at the hospital and returned to the Hu Er Palace.
The doctorâs report told him that he had a hereditary heart disease. His father used to have it.
Because this would greatly shorten his lifespan.
Unless he could find a suitable heart and get a transplant, he might not live past 40.
Now, the problem he was facing was, if he suddenly fell one day, what would happen to the Northern Kingdom in the future?
He didnât have any successor!
