"Eldest Sister, Brother-in-law," Xena Xiao said cheerfully. "Just a moment ago, you were the ones insisting that royal etiquette is sacred and can't be skipped, right? I'm sure you didn't mean that just for Her Highness the Crown Princess—so when it's your turn, you'll set a good example, won't you?"
Xena Xiao shot Xena Xiao a quick sideways glance, then hurried over and bowed to Lily Bai.
Shaun Fane used to be the kind of guy who thought the world revolved around him.
But after all the chaos at home, he seems to have grown up a lot.
With everyone watching, he couldn't act out, so he knelt and bowed to Lily Bai too.
Lily Bai smiled and said, "I'm so happy to meet so many elders and relatives today. Even happier to make it back in time for my cousin's engagement. I sincerely wish both of you a long, loving marriage and lots of adorable kids!"
Of course, everyone knew about the bad blood between the Fane family and Lily Bai.
The vibe in the room was definitely weird.
Someone who knew how to read the room jumped in to lighten the mood: "Wow, this is great! His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has always said the Crown Prince is still alive, and it turns out to be true! People used to worry about the succession, but now there's even a little Crown Grandson. No need to worry anymore, right?"
Everyone laughed and agreed.
