"I heard Mother invited two celebrities, so I ca to visit as well." The young man said, narrowing his eyes at Chenchen and Chongchong.
Chongchong and Chenchen also looked up at him.
Chongchong blinked her eyes.
Why did she feel that this young man sowhat resembled Brother Chenchen?
With his presence, the conversation seed less lively than before, and after a few casual exchanges, the Queen led them to dine.
Exquisite dishes.
Utterly tantalizing to the taste buds.
Chongchong imdiately cast aside all the ssy thoughts in her mind and picked up the knife and fork.
She ate with no regard for her image, her mouth sared with black pepper.
"Tch." A hint of disdain flashed in the young man’s eyes.
"What are you laughing at?" Chongchong raised her eyes in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly laughed.
Before the young man could speak, Chenchen had already picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth clean.
So it was this he was laughing at...
Chongchong blushed slightly.
"Ting, one should not speak when eating or sleeping." The Queen’s tone carried a hint of reprimand.
The young man shrugged and nodded.
"..."
This seems to be an ancient phrase from China.
After dinner, the Queen had them stay at the Palace.
Sleeping in a foreign land, Chongchong instead slept soundly.
But Chenchen tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
As for the reason for his insomnia, even he was unsure.
The next day.
A maid knocked on the door and ca in, serving Chenchen and Chongchong to get up separately.
Afterwards, the maid quietly handed the hairbrush she had used on Chenchen to the Queen, "Your Majesty, this is what you requested."
"Hmm."
The Queen nodded, then waved to dismiss her.
After the maid left, the Queen raised her hand and plucked a strand of her own hair.
She then summoned a palace servant in uniform, "Conduct a paternity test, rember, this must remain confidential!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The servant responded and left.
About half a day later, the servant quietly brought the test report to the Queen.
"How could this be!"
Seeing that there was no blood relationship indicated, the Queen seed to be struck by a blow, all the color draining from her face.
"So alike, how could it not be... how could it..."
She grasped the test report tightly, her nails tearing the paper.
anwhile.
In another part of the Palace.
A tall and handso man was staring gloomily at the paternity test in his hand.
If the Queen were here at this mont, she would find that it showed a 99% blood relation between Chenchen and her.
"Didn’t they say this child had died years ago? How could he reappear now!" The man narrowed his deep brown eyes, a hint of murderous intent glimring in them.
"..."
No one could answer him.
Years ago, a great upheaval occurred in Country A. The then Queen, now the current Queen, fled with her three-month-old child to China in secret to escape the assassination attempts.
Unexpectedly, the rebel forces sohow learned of their whereabouts and pursued them relentlessly.
In the end, only the Queen survived, while the child was nowhere to be found, and everyone believed the young Prince had been tragically lost.
Later on, the King stabilized the situation in Country A with his life, and due to the lack of an heir, combined with the powerful influence of the Queen’s maternal family, the Queen reluctantly ascended the throne and married the current King Consort, giving birth to Ting.
Nobody anticipated that the young Prince would reappear seventeen years later.
According to Country A’s succession laws, the eldest son has the first right to inherit, unless he proves to be incompetent; otherwise, the second son has no chance of ascending.
"Consort, what should we do now?"
