Chapter 1562: Meeting Huo Yunshen Again

Little Grape walked past every one of them and raised his head to look at them.
When Little Grape stopped in front of Jing Xi, he felt a surge of mixed feelings in his heart.
He looked at Jing Xi’s face and realized she was the ugliest among all of them.
“What happened to your face?” Little Grape couldn’t help but ask.
Jing Xi lowered her head to look at the cute little prince and smiled.
“I got burned. Aren’t you afraid?”
“Why should I be?”
Little Grape wasn’t afraid of anything.
He then went back to his own seat, but his eyes never left Jing Xi.
Perhaps it was because of the scar on Jing Xi’s face, but Little Grape felt as if something about her was different from others.
Or perhaps it was because the feeling Jing Xi gave off felt similar to his mother, which he had a vague memory of.
“My Prince, have you decided on which should help me yet?” Lan Yi asked with a smile.
Little Grape pointed at Jing Xi and said, “Her.”
The servants all let out sighs of relief when Little Grape decided on his new nanny. If he did not, they would have to go through the process of interviewing again.
Lan Yi let the others go back. She also asked one of the servants to take Little Grape back to his room, leaving only her and Jing Xi.
“Miss Jin, congratulations. From now on, you will be the prince’s nanny. Please pay attention while I tell you the details of this job,” Lan Yi said.
“Thank you.”
Jing Xi was shocked as she had never expected to be selected.
She then followed Lan Yi as the latter took her on a tour around the palace and showed her which places were forbidden to enter.
“This is the king’s study room… This is the king’s chamber… This is the Princess’s bedroom… and this is the Prince’s bedroom… This corridor leads to the kitchen…”
Lan Yi explained it all as they walked around the palace until they stopped at a golden door.
“Remember that this room is off-limits no matter what the circumstances are,” Lan Yi warned.
“Why’s that?” Jing Xi asked out of curiosity.
“It’s the king’s order.”
The truth was that the room has become the only no-entry place in the palace. No one could enter the room without the king’s permission, and no one in their sane mind would risk it.
“I see.”
Even though Jing Xi understood that the king’s order was absolute, she was still curious as to why he forbade anyone to enter.
Lan Yi continued to introduce different places of the palace to her until they realized a group of people was walking towards them. Lan Yi immediately knew it was the king and his subordinates.
“It’s the king! Remember to bow to the king when he reaches us,” Lan Yi quickly reminded Jing Xi.
“Okay.” Jing Xi nodded and looked at the king that was walking towards them.
The king was handsome. He gave off the feeling that he was meant to be a ruler. He was strong, yet he was also cold.
Jing Xi had no idea why her heart began to flutter as the king slowly approached them.
Lan Yi and Jing Xi quickly retreated back to the wall to make a path for the king and saluted.
“My liege, welcome back,” Lan Yi greeted.
