General Li chuckled shaking his head when he saw his daughter running out of her courtyard before the time he had given her.
"Rui thanks Father for waiting for her."
Little Li Rui bowed her head smiling politely and thanked her father.
"Huh? Such a clever daughter I have. You ignored me the whole day yesterday and as soon as your wish got completed you are back to sugar coating ."
Rui stuck out her tongue and laughed.
When her father stretched out his hand she held the index finger of his hand. Swaying her father's hand she walked jumping here and there.
They soon reached the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Guards standing at the bowed their heads as General Li entered the Imperial Palace with his daughter.
Outside the Imperial Court, there was a hall.
He picked Rui up and made her sit on a couch. Then he said to her in a strictly
"Don't move from here. Father will come outside and then will take you to visit the First Princess."
Rui vigorously nodded her head to show that she will obey her father.
General Li patted her head and then called an Imperial guard to stand there so that he can keep his eye on his daughter.
After he was sure that everything was fine, he entered the Imperial Court.
Fifteen minutes had passed since General Li went inside. Li Rui licked her dry lips and then looked at Imperial Guard standing by her side.
"Guard Uncle"
The Imperial Guard who was standing with a straight face suddenly heard the soft voice and looked down. His face unconsciously softened when he saw a cute and beautiful girl.
"Yes, Little Lady?"
"Guard Uncle, Rui is feeling thirsty. Is there some water?"
The Imperial Guard looked at the tables in the large hall but there was no water jug placed anywhere. He saw that the little girl looked really thirsty. So he said
"Young Lady Li, I request you to not move away from here while I will go and bring water for you."
Rui smiled and patted her chest.
"Guard Uncle can rest assured. Father told Rui not to go away anywhere. Rui is a good and sensible girl who obeys her Father."
If General Li had heard his daughter's words then he would have rolled his eyes and called her a 'big liar'.
However, he was not there so no one could tell the imperial guard that how much of a good girl the little girl in front of him was. He believed her words and went to bring the water for her.
Li Rui was waiting on the couch for the guard as she played with her long hair. At some moment, she started playing with her jade bangle. She took out the bangle from her wrists and caressed the engraving on it when suddenly the bangle fell down from her hands.
The jade bangle rolled down on the smooth floor and stopped a few steps away from the couch.
She pouted and then got down from the couch with her short legs and ran to pick the bangle from the ground.
Her whole attention was on her bangle as she walked towards it. So she didn't notice the group coming in front of him.
"Ahhh…
Suddenly her head hit something heavy. Because of the sudden force, she was pushed down to the ground and was forced to sit on the floor.
Clinkkkkk…
The sound of something hitting the ground echoed in the large hall.
The pin-drop silence lingered and a very strange atmosphere enveloped the hall.
Li Rui raised her head and innocent black eyes fell on the hem of the red robe that was shining because of the Golden lining. When she raised her head further, she saw a pair of cold phoenix eyes looking down at her.
The guards standing behind gasped when she didn't lower her head and continued looking at those eyes innocently.
The Imperial guard who had just entered the hall saw the scene in front of him and the glass in his hands almost fell down on the floor.
When no one was paying any attention to him, he ran inside the Imperial court to call General Li.
The staring contest between Li Rui's clean black eyes and those phoenix ones continued till General Li came running out of the Imperial Court.
He saw Li Rui sitting on the ground and in front of her was standing the man clad in red-golden robes who was looking down at her.
He was none other than the Emperor of Xin, Zhao Wang Lei.
His face became grim when he saw the crown lying on the floor. Just beside Li Rui.
General Li immediately stepped forward and picked Li Rui from the ground. He made her stand beside him and kneeled down.
"Your Majesty, this subject's daughter was mischievous and committed a crime unbeknownst. Please forgive the little girl, Your Majesty."
General Li frowned when he saw that his daughter was not bowing her head. He glared at her but Li Rui still didn't bow her head.
Instead, she tried to make her father stand but when he didn't she pouted in dissatisfaction.
The interaction fell in Zhao Wang Lei's eyes and he looked at the little girl in front of himself with deep eyes.
Li Rui looked at her Father's bowed head and then raised her head to look at the man in front of her. Her soft words sounded as she opened her mouth.
"Li Rui greets Your Majesty, the Emperor."
She curtsied like any noble lady and then continued looking at the Emperor's eyes.
"Your Majesty, It was Li Rui's first time to enter the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty's home is very beautiful. Rui congratulates Your Majesty for such a nice home. However, Your Majesty, don't you think that there should be a carpet here?"
She pointed towards the floor under the couch.
"If there was a carpet there then Rui's bangle would not have rolled down like this. If it had not rolled away then Li Rui wouldn't have bumped to Your Majesty."
Her voice was soft and clear but her words were so illogical and complicated that no one could understand their meaning.
Zhao Wang Lei looked at her for a few moments then asked in his deep voice
"So you're saying that it is not your fault?"
