[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer
Chapter 75 The Palace Banquet
Shen Ling's mood became depressed because of Sidney's words, but the next day he got a piece of news that made him very excited.
After sending Celia to school, Shen Ling received a text message from a stranger.When he opened it, the other party claimed that he was Yuzu, a former clerk at Maria's Candy Store, and wanted to meet Shen Ling at a coffee shop in the shopping street.
After Shen Ling bought Zhinao, she went to Xueyuan Street and gave her contact information to the nearby store owners, asking them to notify him if they saw anyone coming to the candy store.It should be that a shop owner gave his contact information to Yuzu who happened to visit the shopping street, and Yuzu contacted him.
When Shen Ling was working in a candy store, she had always had a good relationship with Yuzu, who looked weak but was actually a domineering strong woman.
Grapefruit is the most intimate assistant of the mother-in-law. In fact, she is an assistant, and the mother-in-law treats grapefruit more like a daughter.If you can get in touch with Yuzu, then you must be able to get in touch with your mother-in-law.
Shen Ling immediately hailed a taxi and rushed to the shopping street. As soon as he entered the agreed coffee shop, he saw Yuzu sitting by the window and waiting anxiously.
Yuzu also saw Shen Ling, her face was full of surprise and disbelief.When Shen Ling approached quickly, the grumpy she got up and grabbed Shen Ling's collar and punched him in the face angrily.
"Where have you been hiding for the past ten years? Do you know how much your mother-in-law is worried about you?" Youzi roared almost collapsed.
Shen Ling touched his face that hurt from the beating, and explained to Youzi what he had encountered in the past ten years.
Yuzu's tense facial lines relaxed a little bit, she apologized to Shen Ling guiltily, and then said: "Come with me to see mother-in-law, mother-in-law has been hit too hard, such a healthy and energetic old man fell ill .Take your daughter with you, mother-in-law will be very happy to see her."
Shen Ling got on Yuzi's suspension car, and the two went to the basic school to pick up Celia, and then came to a small villa in the suburbs of Camilla.
Leading Celia to the second floor of the villa, Shen Ling saw her mother-in-law whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The mother-in-law in a wheelchair was leaning against the window, staring blankly out of the window, with a white wool blanket on her knees.Her hair, carefully combed and braided, was all gray.Shen Ling looked at her mother-in-law's hunched back, and found that her mother-in-law's figure was thinner than he remembered.
Shen Ling's eyes were moist, he squatted down, and whispered something in Celia's ear.
Celia nodded, and slowly walked towards the old lady who was very strange to her.
She walked up to her mother-in-law, who looked down at her in a daze.The little mouse, who was taking a nap on her mother-in-law's lap, also opened her eyes. There was a light in the eyes of Little Black Bean, and then it raised its paws and screamed loudly.
Ahhh, after so many years, I finally saw little Lolita again! (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻
The squeaky little mouse successfully attracted Celia's attention, and Celia reached out and poked the little mouse on the head twice.
"You are?" The mother-in-law is old, and the little girl in front of her eyes is very familiar, but she doesn't remember when she has seen her.
Celia looked up at the wrinkled mother-in-law, blinked nervously, took a deep breath, and called out crisply: "Grandma."
The mother-in-law smiled and reached out to stroke Celia's face. She seemed to remember who this little girl was.
It was the child of Fu Chenhui's family.
Shen Ling walked to Granny Maria's wheelchair and squatted down, looking at her with guilt.
"grandmother."
The mother-in-law's face looked older than her back, her wrinkled face was sickly white, and her once energetic eyes were now cloudy and dim.
Seeing Shen Ling, the mother-in-law's hand stroking Celia couldn't help trembling, and tears filled her lifeless eyes. She reached out to touch Shen Ling, but she couldn't touch him because her hands were shaking too much .
Shen Ling grabbed her mother-in-law's hand, and then held it tightly with both hands.
He broke down in tears and said: "I'm sorry grandma, I will never leave again in the future."
When the little mouse saw Shen Ling, it threw itself into his arms, grabbed his clothes and began to cry.
It really misses its owner. /(TOT)/~~
……
Shen Ling asked Celia for leave and asked her to accompany her mother-in-law in the villa with him.With the company of lively children, the spirit of the mother-in-law improved a lot, and soon she was able to take a walk in the garden of the villa with the support of Celia. During dinner, she even clamored to make Celia her best thick chocolate cake.
Celia obviously also likes her grandma very much, she obediently stays with her grandma every day, and tells her interesting stories about her past on planet D14.
Of course, Celia also likes Mickey Mouse very much. Mickey Mouse is so small and likes to pester her, it is so cute!
The happy days passed quickly, and a week later, Sidney invited Shen Ling to the palace as agreed.
The mother-in-law also heard about the fact that Gehera held a ball for Ludwig to choose a princess for him, and she said cursingly: "With Shen Ling from my family, what else is he dissatisfied with? How dare he find someone else? .”
The mother-in-law asked Yuzu to prepare a very handsome evening dress for Shen Ling a few days ago.
In the extremely simple white tuxedo, every detail is just right to show its distinctive luxury.
After Shen Ling put it on, her mother-in-law and Yuzi were full of praise, and Celia was also fascinated by her father's handsome appearance, hanging on his waist and never letting go.
Sidney followed Shen Ling's prompt and came to the small villa in the suburbs to wait for Shen Ling. Today, he specially changed into a black evening dress tailored by a top tailor he invited from the planet Hera. He looked very luxurious. people.
Standing outside the suspension car, Sidney looked up at the villa.
He knew this place. This was one of the most expensive villa areas in Camilla. The price of this villa was definitely not affordable by ordinary people.
He had investigated Shen Ling before, and knew that Shen Ling and his daughter lived in a rented house in the urban area, and Shen Ling definitely did not look like a rich man. Such a big villa.
But he thought about it, maybe Shen Ling was just at a friend's house, and his own villa was more luxurious than the one in front of him, so he was still very confident that he could win Shen Ling's heart.
Not long after, Shen Ling came out of the villa, and Sidney stared at Shen Ling with straight eyes for a long time.
Shen Ling asked awkwardly: "Is there any problem?"
"You look really different today." Sidney quickly recovered from his gaffe, he opened the floating car door for Shen Ling in a gentlemanly manner, and made an inviting gesture, "Please come in."
When Sidney brought Shen Ling to Longbao, all kinds of high-end suspension vehicles were already parked outside the palace, and Sidney's shiny suspension vehicle became inconspicuous among these gorgeous suspension vehicles.
Passing through the corridor full of flowers and trees, and stepping on the steps covered with red carpet, Shen Ling heard the melodious voice from the banquet hall.
The ball has already started, and on the dance floor, noble young masters and ladies dressed like peacocks are dancing under the waltz music played by a very famous orchestra invited from Hera.
More nobles are recharging their energy and recharging their energy, ready to wait for the protagonist to appear on the stage and then show off their dancing postures.They were chatting leisurely while tasting the food prepared by the celebrity chef specially invited by Longbao beside the buffet table covered with lace tablecloth.
Entering the banquet hall, the gorgeous lighting, melodious music, and handsome teenagers reminded Shen Ling of Ludwig's entrance banquet that he had attended when he was still in school.
Because he was drunk that day, he fell to the ground and was carried back by Ludwig. When he woke up the next morning, he experienced a very embarrassing scene for both of them.
Thinking of the embarrassment of the two of them at that time, the corners of Shen Ling's mouth rose slightly.
Sidney, who was standing next to him and kept watching his every move, saw him smile and felt more and more complacent.
He bowed to Shen Ling in a gentlemanly manner and invited him to enter the dance floor together.
Shen Ling pointed to the side of the buffet table, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go eat first?"
Sidney is also more interested in food than dancing, so the two went over to the buffet table together.
Ten minutes later, the well-dressed mother-in-law Maria walked into the banquet hall with Miss Yuzu and her most precious great-granddaughter.
Many nobles in the banquet hall recognized Grandma Maria. Thinking of the relationship between Grandma Maria's grandson and His Highness Ludwig, as well as the nature of this ball, they probably thought of Grandma Maria's arrival this time. The purpose guessed one or two.
However, most of the nobles are very disdainful in their hearts. Even if His Highness Ludwig loved your grandson so much, it has been ten years. Everyone has seen His Highness's affection for his former fiancée. He has the right to have a new one. Lover, not guarding the dead fiancée for the rest of his life.
Shen Ling, who was tasting delicious food with Sidney in the corner, did not notice that her mother-in-law came with Celia. He picked up a piece of cheesecake, chewed it carefully and guessed who was the chef who prepared the dessert for the banquet this time. .
Xia Li should have read the card he prepared for her. Not only that, she also adjusted the ingredients and methods of making the cheesecake, so that the cake tasted better this time than the one made by Shen Ling.
Xia Li is indeed very talented, and her talent is obviously higher than her own.
Shen Ling took a piece of cheesecake and handed it to Sidney. Sidney was a little surprised that Shen Ling would be so considerate. He attributed this to the misunderstanding that he brought Shen Ling, who had never seen the world, to this misunderstanding, so that he succeeded so well. Brush up to Shen Ling's favorability.
Bite down the cheesecake, chew it for a moment, and Sidney couldn't wait to take a second and third bite, and soon he completely wiped out the cake.
"I have never eaten such a delicious cake." Sidney sighed, "This, this is you..."
"It's not me." Shen Ling said with a smile, "I can't make this kind of taste."
Sidney looked at Shen Ling's enthusiasm obviously extinguished a lot, he sandwiched another piece of cake for himself, and murmured: "I really want to see who it is."
Shen Ling hesitated for a moment whether to tell Sidney, the music stopped abruptly, and then the whole banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
All eyes were on the entrance of the banquet hall.
His Royal Highness Ludwig, the third prince of the empire, walked in with his mother, Queen Gehra, on his arm.
The nobles automatically moved out of the way, and Ludwig walked to the center of the banquet hall with Empress Gehera on his arm.Gohra raised her chin and looked around the banquet hall in a stately manner. The corners of her mouth always maintained a proper upward arc.
"Today is a gathering of young people. I hope everyone will not be restrained and have fun." Her red lips were slightly parted, and her voice was like singing a song.
The noble young masters and ladies present looked at this stunningly beautiful queen with admiration. When their eyes shifted to Ludwig, who was as handsome as a god beside the queen, their admiration immediately turned into fanatical love.
From the moment Ludwig walked in, Shen Ling's eyes were glued to Ludwig's body.
He has really changed.
For a moment, Shen Ling even felt that he could no longer recognize this person.
Tall and burly body, with a resolute and handsome face as sharp as a knife, just standing there, exuding a domineering and fierce aura that makes people unable to look away.
He looks as if he is invincible, no wind and rain can knock him down, he is no longer the sunny and elegant boy he was back then.
Ludwig at this time was very much like Arthur the Great back then.
Shen Ling felt a dull pain of powerlessness in his heart. He couldn't imagine what Ludwig had gone through in the past ten years to become what he is now.
He really wants to go over now, hug him and tell him I'm back.
His idea had just sprouted, and his legs were already moving uncontrollably, but there were more people standing in front of him.
The young nobles here are all here for Ludwig, and the main character is on the stage. Of course, they will rush forward to invite him to dance with themselves on the dance floor.
Shen Ling was pushed into a corner, and could only watch sadly as those people surrounded Ludwig.
"Your Highness is indeed His Highness." Sidney walked over and sighed, "The aura around him is frightening. I don't know who he will choose today."
Ludwig rejected everyone. He sat down next to Gohera, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold ice, and his frightening aura clearly showed the attitude of strangers not to enter.
The rejected young nobles did not dare to approach him, they just kept circling around him trying to attract his attention.
Ludwig drank the summer red wine glass by glass until a girl in a fiery red dress approached with a smile.The girl said something beside him, and the ice on Ludwig's face melted slightly.He stood up, made an inviting gesture to the girl, and then the two stepped onto the dance floor gracefully.
The people on the dance floor let out automatically, Ghela gestured to the orchestra, and a new piece of music was played.
The handsome prince and the beautiful girl in red danced in the middle of the dance floor, and the scene was as beautiful as a delicate oil painting.
Shen Ling heard the people around him whispering about the girl.
"She must be Mia, the daughter of General Pole Star. She is as beautiful as the legend says."
"It seems that no one here can compete with her. As expected, today is the engagement banquet for these two people."
Looking at the two people on the dance floor, Gehera smiled with satisfaction. Although Mia is a bit of a character, she is still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law overall.
In fact, as long as there is someone who can make Ludwig forget about Shen Ling and heal the trauma in his heart, no matter what he likes, she doesn't want to stop it.
She is a mother, she never wants her youngest son to join the army to participate in any war, she just hopes that her beloved young son can live a happy life.
But in the past few years, Ludwig has been living too hard. In order to avenge his grandfather and his lover, he resolutely joined the army and accepted those high-risk missions countless times, and each time was dangerous.
She was always afraid in her dreams at night, whether Ludwig would come back safely next time she went on a mission.
……
In the other corner of the banquet hall, Granny Maria, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to Ludwig in the center of the dance floor and said to Celia, "See, that's your father."
"I don't believe it, it's not him." Celia pouted and shook her head in disgust. "If he is really my father, then why would he dance with women?"
Granny Maria grabbed Celia's hair and laughed, "Honey, he is really your father. Look at his eyes and hair, which are the same color as yours."
Celia's mouth pouted higher and higher, and she cursed angrily: "I don't want him."
"I'll teach you a trick." Granny Maria narrowed her eyes and smiled, and whispered in Celia's ear.
Celia nodded ignorantly. She jumped off the sofa and rushed to the dance floor without hesitation.
Celia's figure is very small, but there are only Ludwig and Mia on the dance floor, so everyone saw her the first time she rushed in.Someone muttered under his breath why someone would come in with a child.
And Shen Ling, who saw Celia, opened his mouth even more in surprise.
Why is she here?Who brought her here?
Sidney beside him also asked strangely: "Is that your daughter?"
Celia ran to Ludwig's side, she hugged Ludwig's thigh suddenly, and shouted in a crisp child voice: "Dad!"
All the nobles in the banquet hall were stunned by Celia's "Dad".
Gehera even stood up abruptly without any image, that child was so much like Ludwig when he was young, she almost thought she had time-traveled.
Ludwig let go of Mia, and looked down at the little girl hugging his thigh.
The little girl's "Daddy" reminded him of the child he was supposed to have. Sadness aroused anger. He grabbed the little girl's back collar with one hand and lifted her up, and said to her coldly: " I'm not your father."
Mia quickly persuaded: "It's just a child, don't get angry." She coaxed Celia and said, "Little girl, who brought you here, do you know that you can't call Dad casually? And this is the prince of the empire." , he doesn't have a daughter as old as you."
Celia was too frightened to move by the terrifying aura of the tall man who was holding her. She didn't feel how scary this man was just now, but now, she only felt that this man was really, really scary.
The grievance and fear made her cry with a "wow".
Celia was Shen Ling's lifeblood, of course he didn't want to see her being bullied like this, so he struggled to squeeze out from the crowd, and ran to Ludwig's side in three steps at a time.
When Celia saw her own father coming over, the grievance in her heart was magnified ten times. She thumped her hands and feet and yelled "Dad", tears streaming down her face, crying so desolately.
Celia cried until Shen Ling's heart was broken into pieces. He snatched Celia from Ludwig's hand, and then glared at him angrily.
"I'm sorry, my daughter is not sensible, so I bothered you." He almost squeezed out every word through his teeth.
Seeing the child's father coming, Mia said sharply, "Sir, please take care of your daughter, this is the palace banquet hall after all."
"I'm sorry." Shen Ling apologized and bowed to Mia. Tears had already reached the corners of his eyes. He didn't dare to look at Ludwig again. He just wanted to squeeze into the crowd quickly and leave here with his daughter.
Ludwig grabbed the shoulder of Shen Ling who turned to leave.
"Is it you?" Ludwig asked cautiously, he was afraid that this time it would be another sweet dream, and soon, this dream would wake up, and the person in front of him would disappear.
Shen Ling pursed his lips tightly and dared not make a sound, he was afraid that if he spoke, he would cry uncontrollably.
"Dad, don't cry, let's go." Celia, who was frightened by Ludwig, hugged Shen Ling's neck and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for him.
Shen Ling uttered a syllable in a hoarse voice. "good."
"Don't go!" Gehela slapped the table, lifted her skirt and walked quickly in front of Shen Ling. She smiled at Shen Ling, and her eyes fell on Celia.
"What's her name?" Gehela liked this little girl more and more, and couldn't help but put his hand on her light golden hair and rub it.She wanted a daughter a long time ago, but this wish has never come true. Now that God sent a baby to her, how could she let her go so easily!
"Celia." Celia said, blinking her big emerald eyes, "Sister, you are so pretty."
Gehera laughed from ear to ear, if this child wasn't Ludwig's offspring, she wouldn't believe it if she was killed.
"Can I hug her?" Gehera said to Shen Ling expectantly.
Shen Ling looked at Celia, Celia bit her lip and nodded shyly in agreement.
As soon as Gehera took Celia from Shen Ling, Ludwig immediately grabbed Shen Ling's waist and carried him on his shoulders, ignoring Shen Ling's exclamation and Celia's crying voice behind him , he hurriedly left the banquet hall with Shen Ling on his shoulders.
Dad was taken away by the bad guys, and Celia burst into tears again, struggling to get out of Gohra's arms, to rescue her dad.
Gehela was so troubled by her that she had no choice but to let her down. Celia had only run two steps before being stopped by the mother-in-law who came over with Yuzu's support.
"The bad guys took Dad away!" Celia complained loudly to her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law smiled and held Celia's hand and said, "It's not a bad person, it's your father. Let's not disturb them."
When Gehela saw her mother-in-law, she walked over with a smile on her face and welcomed her to the guest seat.
Mia, who was thrown down and was still standing in the middle of the dance floor, blushed and turned pale in embarrassment. She didn't understand what happened, why Ludwig suddenly became so excited, and where he was going to take that person up ?Did they know each other before?Why would Gehela be so affectionate to that little girl again?
The nobles around were talking about the episode just discovered, and everyone was guessing the identity of the person who was resisted by Ludwig.
I only heard someone say suddenly: "It's a mermaid!"
"Mermaid? His fiancée that His Royal Highness Ludwig publicly admitted back then? That's right, it's him. I wonder why he looks so familiar!"
"So, that little girl is really the child of His Royal Highness Ludwig?"
"Look at the color of her hair and eyes, and Queen Gehera likes her so much. Do you think it's fake?"
"The mermaid has come back to life, it's incredible!"
……
Mia gritted her teeth and stomped fiercely, and left the banquet hall angrily.
Sidney, on the other hand, stood in the corner with a dazed expression, as if... He almost seduced His Royal Highness Ludwig's fiancée?
He shook his head, and decided to go to Longbao's kitchen to see what kind of pastry chef is able to make such delicious desserts.
After sending Celia to school, Shen Ling received a text message from a stranger.When he opened it, the other party claimed that he was Yuzu, a former clerk at Maria's Candy Store, and wanted to meet Shen Ling at a coffee shop in the shopping street.

Shen Ling got on Yuzi's suspension car, and the two went to the basic school to pick up Celia, and then came to a small villa in the suburbs of Camilla.
Leading Celia to the second floor of the villa, Shen Ling saw her mother-in-law whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The mother-in-law in a wheelchair was leaning against the window, staring blankly out of the window, with a white wool blanket on her knees.Her hair, carefully combed and braided, was all gray.Shen Ling looked at her mother-in-law's hunched back, and found that her mother-in-law's figure was thinner than he remembered.

Shen Ling felt a dull pain of powerlessness in his heart. He couldn't imagine what Ludwig had gone through in the past ten years to become what he is now.
He really wants to go over now, hug him and tell him I'm back.
His idea had just sprouted, and his legs were already moving uncontrollably, but there were more people standing in front of him.
The young nobles here are all here for Ludwig, and the main character is on the stage. Of course, they will rush forward to invite him to dance with themselves on the dance floor.
Shen Ling was pushed into a corner, and could only watch sadly as those people surrounded Ludwig.
"Your Highness is indeed His Highness." Sidney walked over and sighed, "The aura around him is frightening. I don't know who he will choose today."
Ludwig rejected everyone. He sat down next to Gohera, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold ice, and his frightening aura clearly showed the attitude of strangers not to enter.
The rejected young nobles did not dare to approach him, they just kept circling around him trying to attract his attention.
Ludwig drank the summer red wine glass by glass until a girl in a fiery red dress approached with a smile.The girl said something beside him, and the ice on Ludwig's face melted slightly.He stood up, made an inviting gesture to the girl, and then the two stepped onto the dance floor gracefully.
The people on the dance floor let out automatically, Ghela gestured to the orchestra, and a new piece of music was played.
The handsome prince and the beautiful girl in red danced in the middle of the dance floor, and the scene was as beautiful as a delicate oil painting.
Shen Ling heard the people around him whispering about the girl.
"She must be Mia, the daughter of General Pole Star. She is as beautiful as the legend says."
"It seems that no one here can compete with her. As expected, today is the engagement banquet for these two people."
Looking at the two people on the dance floor, Gehera smiled with satisfaction. Although Mia is a bit of a character, she is still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law overall.
In fact, as long as there is someone who can make Ludwig forget about Shen Ling and heal the trauma in his heart, no matter what he likes, she doesn't want to stop it.
She is a mother, she never wants her youngest son to join the army to participate in any war, she just hopes that her beloved young son can live a happy life.
But in the past few years, Ludwig has been living too hard. In order to avenge his grandfather and his lover, he resolutely joined the army and accepted those high-risk missions countless times, and each time was dangerous.
She was always afraid in her dreams at night, whether Ludwig would come back safely next time she went on a mission.
……
In the other corner of the banquet hall, Granny Maria, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to Ludwig in the center of the dance floor and said to Celia, "See, that's your father."
"I don't believe it, it's not him." Celia pouted and shook her head in disgust. "If he is really my father, then why would he dance with women?"
Granny Maria grabbed Celia's hair and laughed, "Honey, he is really your father. Look at his eyes and hair, which are the same color as yours."
Celia's mouth pouted higher and higher, and she cursed angrily: "I don't want him."
"I'll teach you a trick." Granny Maria narrowed her eyes and smiled, and whispered in Celia's ear.
Celia nodded ignorantly. She jumped off the sofa and rushed to the dance floor without hesitation.
Celia's figure is very small, but there are only Ludwig and Mia on the dance floor, so everyone saw her the first time she rushed in.Someone muttered under his breath why someone would come in with a child.
And Shen Ling, who saw Celia, opened his mouth even more in surprise.
Why is she here?Who brought her here?
Sidney beside him also asked strangely: "Is that your daughter?"
Celia ran to Ludwig's side, she hugged Ludwig's thigh suddenly, and shouted in a crisp child voice: "Dad!"
All the nobles in the banquet hall were stunned by Celia's "Dad".
Gehera even stood up abruptly without any image, that child was so much like Ludwig when he was young, she almost thought she had time-traveled.
Ludwig let go of Mia, and looked down at the little girl hugging his thigh.
The little girl's "Daddy" reminded him of the child he was supposed to have. Sadness aroused anger. He grabbed the little girl's back collar with one hand and lifted her up, and said to her coldly: " I'm not your father."
Mia quickly persuaded: "It's just a child, don't get angry." She coaxed Celia and said, "Little girl, who brought you here, do you know that you can't call Dad casually? And this is the prince of the empire." , he doesn't have a daughter as old as you."
Celia was too frightened to move by the terrifying aura of the tall man who was holding her. She didn't feel how scary this man was just now, but now, she only felt that this man was really, really scary.
The grievance and fear made her cry with a "wow".
Celia was Shen Ling's lifeblood, of course he didn't want to see her being bullied like this, so he struggled to squeeze out from the crowd, and ran to Ludwig's side in three steps at a time.
When Celia saw her own father coming over, the grievance in her heart was magnified ten times. She thumped her hands and feet and yelled "Dad", tears streaming down her face, crying so desolately.
Celia cried until Shen Ling's heart was broken into pieces. He snatched Celia from Ludwig's hand, and then glared at him angrily.
"I'm sorry, my daughter is not sensible, so I bothered you." He almost squeezed out every word through his teeth.
Seeing the child's father coming, Mia said sharply, "Sir, please take care of your daughter, this is the palace banquet hall after all."
"I'm sorry." Shen Ling apologized and bowed to Mia. Tears had already reached the corners of his eyes. He didn't dare to look at Ludwig again. He just wanted to squeeze into the crowd quickly and leave here with his daughter.
Ludwig grabbed the shoulder of Shen Ling who turned to leave.
"Is it you?" Ludwig asked cautiously, he was afraid that this time it would be another sweet dream, and soon, this dream would wake up, and the person in front of him would disappear.
Shen Ling pursed his lips tightly and dared not make a sound, he was afraid that if he spoke, he would cry uncontrollably.
"Dad, don't cry, let's go." Celia, who was frightened by Ludwig, hugged Shen Ling's neck and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for him.
Shen Ling uttered a syllable in a hoarse voice. "good."
"Don't go!" Gehela slapped the table, lifted her skirt and walked quickly in front of Shen Ling. She smiled at Shen Ling, and her eyes fell on Celia.
"What's her name?" Gehela liked this little girl more and more, and couldn't help but put his hand on her light golden hair and rub it.She wanted a daughter a long time ago, but this wish has never come true. Now that God sent a baby to her, how could she let her go so easily!
"Celia." Celia said, blinking her big emerald eyes, "Sister, you are so pretty."
Gehera laughed from ear to ear, if this child wasn't Ludwig's offspring, she wouldn't believe it if she was killed.
"Can I hug her?" Gehera said to Shen Ling expectantly.
Shen Ling looked at Celia, Celia bit her lip and nodded shyly in agreement.
As soon as Gehera took Celia from Shen Ling, Ludwig immediately grabbed Shen Ling's waist and carried him on his shoulders, ignoring Shen Ling's exclamation and Celia's crying voice behind him , he hurriedly left the banquet hall with Shen Ling on his shoulders.
Dad was taken away by the bad guys, and Celia burst into tears again, struggling to get out of Gohra's arms, to rescue her dad.
Gehela was so troubled by her that she had no choice but to let her down. Celia had only run two steps before being stopped by the mother-in-law who came over with Yuzu's support.
"The bad guys took Dad away!" Celia complained loudly to her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law smiled and held Celia's hand and said, "It's not a bad person, it's your father. Let's not disturb them."
When Gehela saw her mother-in-law, she walked over with a smile on her face and welcomed her to the guest seat.
Mia, who was thrown down and was still standing in the middle of the dance floor, blushed and turned pale in embarrassment. She didn't understand what happened, why Ludwig suddenly became so excited, and where he was going to take that person up ?Did they know each other before?Why would Gehela be so affectionate to that little girl again?
The nobles around were talking about the episode just discovered, and everyone was guessing the identity of the person who was resisted by Ludwig.
I only heard someone say suddenly: "It's a mermaid!"
"Mermaid? His fiancée that His Royal Highness Ludwig publicly admitted back then? That's right, it's him. I wonder why he looks so familiar!"
"So, that little girl is really the child of His Royal Highness Ludwig?"
"Look at the color of her hair and eyes, and Queen Gehera likes her so much. Do you think it's fake?"
"The mermaid has come back to life, it's incredible!"
……
Mia gritted her teeth and stomped fiercely, and left the banquet hall angrily.
Sidney, on the other hand, stood in the corner with a dazed expression, as if... He almost seduced His Royal Highness Ludwig's fiancée?
He shook his head, and decided to go to Longbao's kitchen to see what kind of pastry chef is able to make such delicious desserts.
