Chapter 646: Staying in the Palace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sofiaâs words hit the softest spot in Elviâs heart.
At the mention of her daughterâs illness, Elvi couldnât bring herself to say anything more serious.
âThen get along well with them.â Elviâs tone couldnât help but soften.
She knew her daughterâs personality well. Edward always said that Sophia was obedient and polite. Other than her health, she had never worried anyone since she was young.
However, Elvi had helped her daughter clean up many messes.
Sophia knew that this meant agreement, so she smiled and nodded heavily. Just as Sophia intended, the next day, the invitation and a butler visited the hotel where Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were staying.
It was noon when they arrived. The other party considerately considered the schedule of the young people now and knocked on the door politely.
When Murong Qiao walked over to open the door, she saw a few people suddenly standing at the door. Among them, there was a middle-aged woman wearing makeup and smiling at her. She thought that she was dreaming. âHello, may I ask who you areâŠ?â Murong Qiao asked hesitantly.
As soon as the question left her mouth, looking at the obviously luxurious clothes of the people in front of her, Murong Qiao already had an answer to her guess.
The middle-aged woman said, âYoung Miss Murong, right? We were sent by Princess Sofia to invite you to the palace as guests.â
âPlease allow me to introduce myself. My name is Celestia, and Iâm Princess Sofiaâs butler.â
Celestia squared her shoulders. âYour heroic actions yesterday deserve a reward, and when Princess Sofia learned that you were traveling here, she decided to become a host.â
She clearly knew their identities and backgrounds very well. In the end she even used their words to close the distance between them. Her accent was so standard that it even made people feel close.
Although Celestia spoke politely, Murong Qiao could only sense one big word from her words.
Troublesome.
Thinking of how Huo Yichen rejected Sofia yesterday and left with her, Murong
Qiao felt that this invitation was a little strange.
âCan you wait a moment? I need to tidy up first.â Murong Qiao had no choice but to say this first.
If it was an invitation from a noble or a rich family, they would reject it. However, with Sofiaâs identity, there was clearly no room for them to refuse. Seeing Murong Qiao say this, Celestia was also very understanding. She took a step back. âYou can call me if you need help. Go ahead.â Murong Qiao nodded and closed the door. Then, she turned around and entered the room to look for Huo Yichen.
Huo Yichen was working on his computer in the living room. Murong Qiao picked out some key points and briefly explained the guestsâ intentions.
ââŠTroublesome.â Huo Yichen had the same thoughts as Murong Qiao.
He originally thought that the clear rejection yesterday would be the end of this matter in Huo Yichenâs opinion.
He didnât expect Sofia to take the initiative to look for him today.
Moreover, it was an invitation issued in the name of the Princess. They couldnât refuse even if they wanted to.
However, the other party was already waiting at the door. Other than following them, they really didnât have a better choice.
âLetâs go and see the situation first.â Murong Qiao sighed helplessly. She had never thought that she would be pestered by trouble when she came out for a trip.
This peach blossom that had latched onto Huo Yichen followed him closely without any intention of leaving.
Unfortunately, the peach blossoms were rotten.
Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes when she saw the people Celestia had brought help them bring their luggage up. She was a little unhappy, especially when she thought of Sofiaâs thoughts on Huo Yichen.
She was coveting him.
After all, Sofiaâs invitation had been fulfilled. Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao couldnât refuse and went to the palace to be guests.
Many people quickly found out that there were suddenly two more guests in the palace.
As the King, Edward had many important matters to attend to every day However, after Queen Elvi noticed her daughterâs abnormality, she still took note and decided to take a look at the situation when she had the time.
This is the residence prepared for the two of you.â The butler, Celestia, extended her hand respectfully.
Murong Qiao subconsciously pushed the door open, but was stopped by Celestia.
âYoung Miss Murong, your room canât be here.â Celestia smiled and pointed in the other direction.
Murong Qiao stopped pushing the door and turned to look at Celestia with a frown. âWeâre engaged.â
She thought that Celestia didnât know about their relationship, so she told her. Celestiaâs eyes flashed. Seeing Murong Qiao say this, she smiled apologetically and didnât speak for a moment.
Huo Yichen took the initiative to carry the things in first. âIâll go get it.â âCelestia.â Suddenly, a dignified female voice came from the other end of the corridor.
Why did Queen Elvi appear? Her footsteps were slow as she walked towards Murong Qiao and the others. At the same time, her gaze couldnât help but land on the guests her daughter had invited over.
âMy Queen!â Celestia hurriedly bowed and took two steps back to make room for Elvi.
Murong Qiao looked over and met Elviâs gaze in the air.
Elvi carried the usual dignity of a superior and the calmness and kindness of a mother. From the outside, she was still beautiful. If not for the crowâs feet at the corners of her eyes that added more patterns to her skin, one would mistake her for someone in her twenties or thirties at first glance.
âHello, Iâm Sofiaâs mother, Elvi.â
Elvi took the initiative to greet Murong Qiao. There was a sincere smile on her face, so she looked especially sincere.
âThank you for helping my daughter. If you encounter any problems in Country X, you can look for me.â
Elviâs words were sincere.
Not to mention that she had a good impression of Murong Qiao from the moment she saw her.
-It was really just a small effort on our part,â Murong Qiao said casually.
Her gaze landed steadily on Murong Qiaoâs face. âSofia has been doted on since she was young. Perhaps she caused a lot of trouble for you when you interacted. Please forgive her.â
Indeed.
Murong Qiao agreed with Elviâs words.
âItâs fine. We donât want to trouble herâŠâ
It was not like Murong Qiao didnât know how to say pleasantries.
While Murong Qiao was talking to Elvi, another guest was welcomed at the other end of the corridor.
âMother!â This time, it was Sofia.
She had received the news when Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen first arrived at the palace, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt for her to wait for them directly, so she waited for a while before coming.
However, she didnât expect to see Elvi here.
Sofia smiled and jogged over to Elviâs side. She held her arm very intimately before turning her gaze to Murong Qiao.
However, the faint anticipation in her eyes instantly disappeared when she saw Murong Qiao alone.
Where is he?
Sofiaâs gaze swept around her unobtrusively.
As if sensing Sofiaâs thoughts, Huo Yichen walked out of the door behind Murong Qiao a few seconds later.
Almost the moment Huo Yichen came out, Queen Elvi observed her daughterâs gaze and attention instantly land on the other party. She immediately had some more thoughts..
