The car passed through a dark red rose road and broke into the Royal Palace.
The five magnificent castles became more and more beautiful in the twilight. The clouds in the sky dyed half of the sky red like fire.
The top of the castle soared into the sky and shone brightly.
Emily reached her head out of the window to appreciate the scenery.
"What are you looking at? Why do you look so excited? " James didn't know what she was looking at.
"Look over there, over there, James. That cloud is as cute as a rabbit, isn't it?"
Emily pointed at the broken cloud in the sky and shared it with him excitedly.
How could James like these things? But as long as she liked them, he would like them.
"Baby, do you like to watch the sunrise?"
"Yes, I do. But I haven't seen it. "
"Well, let's go to see it tomorrow, okay?"
"No, I can't get up. I'd better sleep well. I've finally finished my exam. I can have a good rest."
Emily didn't want to waste such a good sleep time on climbing the mountain and watching the sunrise.
"Okay." Though a little disappointed, James soon came up with a solution.
Finally, they arrived. The car stopped and the servants came to greet them.
"Your Highness, Miss Shirley, good evening. Dinner is ready. You can have dinner now."
"Okay." Emily touched her belly and walked into the dining room.
The emperor, the queen and Fiona were already seated, waiting for them.
"Father, mother, I'm sorry that I'm late." Emily apologized obediently.
"It doesn't matter. Come and eat. I have cooked a lot of your favorite food." The queen greeted enthusiastically.
Emily sat beside James impolitely.
"My brother James, my sister Shirley, you're back. Would you like to try this dish? I learned it from mommy tonight. Maybe it's not very delicious." Fiona tried her best to push the dishes cooked by her in front of them. She wanted everyone's approval.
"Well, Fio, you want to learn cooking too? It's not easy. I must have a try. " Emily didn't believe that this girl could poison her in front of so many people.
"Thank you for tasting it, my sister Shirley. This is the best way to give me confidence." Fiona pretended to be happy.
"My brother James, please have a taste. It won't taste bad." What Fiona wanted most was the recognition of James.
"Okay, let me have a try." James picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
His face darkened.
Emily took a bite. The taste in her mouth was a little salty, sweet and bitter.
Damn it!
What the hell was this taste?
She chewed it again.
Oh boy!
She spit them all out.
The table was full of vomit. James quickly handed her a glass of water. James had knew it before. The reason why he didn't vomit was that he tried his best not to hurt Fiona's little heart.
"My sister Shirley, did I really make it bad?" Fiona pretended to be sad and asked tentatively.
"Well, it's okay. It's just a little better than ordinary people can eat. Maybe it's because I have a stomachache recently and can't eat much." In order not to hurt her too hard, Emily finally made up a good excuse.
"Dad, mom, what do you think? Don't you think I have talent for cooking? " Fiona was very disappointed. Her friend told her that if she wanted to win a man's heart, she must first seize his stomach.
"Yummy! Yummy! It's our favorite food!" The emperor and the queen frowned and kept bringing the food to their mouths.
Such noble emperor and queen would rather accept these terrible food for their beloved daughter.
How great.
Emily frowned and came up with an idea. How about she cook two specialty dishes as well. To make His Majesty and the queen happy, and also to infuriate this arrogant little princess.
She always showed off in front of her and thought Emily couldn't tell.
"Dad, mom, I love you so much."
Fiona held the emperor and the queen and kissed them wildly.
"Baby, let's eat." The emperor and the queen tried their best to suppress their nausea and squeezed out a sentence.
Emily wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to. So she had to bury herself in the bowl and eat quietly.
After dinner, on the balcony of the second floor, Emily leaned against the corridor and listened to the music quietly with her phone in her hand.
"Hey, do you have a grudge against Fio? Just because she set you up last time? "
Leaning against the marble column fence, James asked seriously.
"I don't hate her. Maybe she hates me. She always aims at me. Maybe she is jealous that I have taken you away." Emily pursed her lips.
"Will you be jealous if I spoil her?"
"I'm not jealous of her. She has no right." Emily said bluntly.
"Are you serious?" James asked tentatively.
"That's right. I don't care who you are good to." Emily turned her head and put the earphones into her ears again, letting the music fill her ears. She couldn't hear him.
