After exchanging pleasantries, the pair of young twins seemed to develop a strong curiosity about Zhuo Yu and walked over to him, observing him closely.
A moment later, the little girl with two buns in her hair said in a sweet voice, "You're really good-looking. Can we play with you? I'm Lulu and this is my brother, called Xiao Hu."
Xiao Hu, with a round face resembling a little tiger, probably spent too long at the border with Lu Ying, often playing some military role-playing games with local children. He lifted an imaginary cape, stepped forward with a knee-bending half-squat, and energetically cupped his hands, saying, "Great King, you have an extraordinary aura. My sister and I wish to pledge allegiance to you!"
Although these were innocent words from a child, such talk was quite dangerous within the palace.
The silence in the palace was so profound that one could hear a pin drop.
Huo Mingxu was drinking water, and nearly sprayed his tea all over.
