"Welcome, Your Highness."
"Welcome, Lady."
At this time, they had already sat at the table. Although the emperor was younger than Sam, he sat on the main seat of the long table because of his noble identity. Sam sat on the right side of the table, and the queen sat on the left side. Everyone was wearing properly, and talking about something with decent smiles on their faces. They greeted James and Emily warmly when they saw them coming back together.
"Oh, my Shirl, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. You are so beautiful today!" The queen took the initiative to leave her seat, walked over, held the hand of Emily, and took her to sit beside herself.
"Hello, auntie and uncle." Emily greeted them with a smile.
"Come on, sit on auntie's side. James, sit on grandpa, Sam's side."
After the family sat down, the servants began to serve the dishes one by one.
If Emily could enjoy the delicacies in the An Family every day, then today's meal was a feast full of delicacies.
The whole table was full of food. Staring at these delicious food, Emily couldn't help but drool.
She was totally attracted. Hairy crabs, braised shrimps, and so on.
She liked them so much.
"Your Majesty and queen, please enjoy. I'm sorry if I didn't take good care of you." The respectful and humble attitude of Sam surprised Emily. This arrogant and domineering old man didn't dare to shout in front of the emperor and the queen.
"It's already very good. It looks delicious. Don't be nervous." The emperor picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Only when he started, people would dare to pick up their chopsticks to eat. Emily had been taught this etiquette, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Come on, Shirl. I'll get you a prawns."
"Thank you, auntie."
"And this one looks delicious too. Eat more. See how skinny you are. How can you give birth to a lot of babies for James in the future?"
"Puff..." Emily couldn't help spitting out the food that she dared to eat and coughed all the time.
"Are you okay, Shirl?" The queen immediately handed over a napkin and carefully wiped for her.
James handed her a glass of water silently.
With a grim face, Sam glared at her. She shouldn't have made a fool of herself in front of the noble emperor, the queen and His Highness. She spat out the food in her mouth. How disgusting and ill-bred she was.
Emily drank a lot of water and took a long time to recover.
"Ha ha, the queen has always been so stunning. I have to get used to you in the future." The emperor was not unhappy. Instead, he felt that this girl was very straightforward and honest.
"Yes, it's all aunt's fault. I said such words at the dinner table. We can talk about it in secret later. Now let's eat quietly." The queen realized her mistake. According to the strict dining etiquette, she couldn't talk too much at the table. It was her fault.
"No, auntie, you are humorous. I'm influenced by your humor. Let's start. I'm starving to death." Emily said coquettishly, rubbing her belly.
Sam found that the emperor and the queen were not angry, they even thought it was their fault. His face quickly became bright and he began to eat with a smile.
The dinner ended happily.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa eating fruits and brought up the main topic.
"Mr. Sam, we hope that after the engagement, Shirl can move in with James." The emperor said first.
"No."
"No."
Emily and James resisted at the same time.
In any case, Emily would never live with a self-centered, arrogant and domineering boy like James.
James didn't want anyone to find out the secrets hidden in him. If two people lived together, these secrets would not be kept. He would never live with this rude and vulgar girl.
The two tacit reactions immediately made the emperor, the queen and Sam, who was sitting on the other side, feel embarrassed. How could the two children be so fierce about the matter that the adults had negotiated?
