Chapter 35 Fighting for Rewards
Su Xiaoxiao doesn’t care about whether she is a prince or not, she just wants to eat meat!
[The roast suckling pig is so delicious, why don’t you try it? It’s really a waste of food.]
The emperor hesitated whether to take Su Xiaoxiao to see Su Bowen. He must be looking forward to having such a soft and tender daughter.
He was about to reach out his hand, but changed his mind. There are a lot of monkeys in the palace, not even a princess. How can Su Bowen have two? Let him wait a little longer!
The queen took Xiaoxiao and said reluctantly: "Your mother should be worried. Let the prince take you back. Aunt will send someone to pick you up in a few days!"
Su Xiaoxiao grinned at the queen, grabbed a piece of roasted suckling pig, and stuffed it into her mouth at lightning speed.
[Well, it tastes just like my dream. I didn't expect that I could have a bite of real roasted suckling pig in this life. This life is worth it, wuwuwu.]
The queen was frightened. Xiaoxiao had no teeth yet. If she swallowed it, it would be a disaster.
She didn't care about the queen's dignified image and grabbed it directly.
Su Xiaoxiao puffed her cheeks, closed her mouth tightly, and looked at the queen with her eyes rolling.
[I won't open my mouth even if you kill me. How can I let the roast suckling pig fly away when it's right in my mouth!]
Gu Huaiyu was anxious and amused. Xiaoxiao was so cute!
"Xiaoxiao, open your mouth. When you are five months old, the prince will ask the kitchen to make meat porridge for you, okay?" Gu Huaiyu was really worried that she would swallow the meat.
Su Xiaoxiao kept sucking until only the residue was left. Then she opened her mouth. The queen took out the meat residue and breathed a sigh of relief. This child scared me to death.
Su Xiaoxiao giggled again. She still had some meat in her hand.
However, man proposes, God disposes. The meat in her hand was intercepted by Gu Huaiyu not far from her mouth.
Watching the meat in her hand being taken away bit by bit, Su Xiaoxiao felt like the sky was falling.
[Oh my meat!]
Su Xiaoxiao pouted in grievance, tears rolling down her cheeks, and finally her sobbing turned into howling.
[It's too bullying, I'm not even allowed to eat a bite of meat!]
The prince listened to Su Xiaoxiao's accusation, his eyelids twitched, and looking at this posture, it might be difficult to coax her.
Sure enough, the empress, the prince, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs took turns to stop Su Xiaoxiao from crying.
"Mother, why don't you feed her some meat soup?" Gu Huaiyu couldn't bear it. If she continued crying, this little body might faint!
The queen nodded. This child can really cry!
Hearing that there was meat soup to drink again, Su Xiaoxiao's mood improved a little and she stopped crying gradually.
After slurping a few mouthfuls of meat soup, Su Xiaoxiao finally calmed down, and Gu Huaiyu sent her back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Zhao Wanyue hadn't seen her daughter all night. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep. She stood at the door like a stone looking at her daughter.
Su Xiaoxiao cried for a long time and was already exhausted. She fell asleep in the car.
Gu Huaiyu handed Su Xiaoxiao to Zhao Wanyue and asked someone to carry boxes of rewards into the mansion.
Zhao Wanyue was flustered and asked hesitantly, "What are these?"
The prince said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Zhao. Xiaoxiao is a benefactor of the royal family. These things are just to show our gratitude to Xiaoxiao. By the way, Xiaoxiao has two jade pendants around her waist. Give them to her to play with."
Gu Huaiyu knew that Zhao Wanyue missed her daughter, so he didn't want to bother her any more and left immediately.
Zhao Wanyue asked Lian Xuan and Bai Zhi to put all the gifts brought by the prince into her private storehouse, and she couldn't wait to hug Su Xiaoxiao and kiss her again and again.
Su Changhe was looking at the two jade pendants and was amazed: "Mother, the prince's personal jade pendant is already invaluable, and she even has the emperor's "As if I were here in person" jade pendant, this is too amazing, I will cling to Xiaoxiao in the future!"
Zhao Wanyue just smiled and said nothing. She did not tell her son that Xiaoxiao also got the queen's gold medal and can now enter and leave the palace at will.
Su Lingxi was also very happy. The prince and the prince of Prince Dun's mansion were both stripped of their titles, which showed that the emperor was a fair and strict person. She no longer had to worry about the cancellation of the engagement and implicated her parents.
Liu hated Zhao Wanyue because of Sun Caidie's matter and fell seriously ill. Zhao Wanyue found a lot of doctors to treat her.
Endless medicine and acupuncture made her miserable. If those doctors were not famous, Liu would have suspected that Zhao Wanyue was deliberately torturing her.
During the days when she was lying in bed, Sun Caidie sent messages to her every day, saying that life was hard and Sun Yingying could not even afford a wet nurse.
Zhao Wanyue's dowry was in her hands. After the quarrel that day, Zhao Wanyue actually left the family affairs and let her worry about them. Now all the expenses of the family were reported to her room.
Liu was so angry that she couldn't say anything about her grievances. Her second daughter-in-law Zheng Yaxian came to her in a hurry and said, "Mother, the prince has sent a lot of rewards, several big boxes full of them. If you don't go, that
person will take them all!" Liu slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare she? The rewards from the emperor are for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She is a woman without an official position, and she wants to take the rewards for herself. Let's go and see!"
Lian Xuan and Bai Zhi knew this would happen, so they moved things without stopping. When Liu came, Lian Xuan had just locked Zhao Wanyue's private storehouse.
Liu came over angrily and shouted, "Open the door!"
Lian Xuan said calmly, "Madam, this is our Madam's private vault, you can't open it casually!"
Liu slapped Lian Xuan in the face and said, "You little bitch, I won't tolerate you acting wild in front of me. Open the door quickly and bring out all the rewards in the palace!"
Lian Xuan felt very aggrieved. She had always followed Madam, and Madam had never said a harsh word to her, but this old hag actually hit her.
Lian Xu didn't care about the burning pain on his face, and said righteously: "The things were awarded to Madam and Miss by the Emperor, so they should be in Madam's private vault. Even if you beat me to death, I won't open the door for you!"
Lian Xu refused to cooperate, and Liu was not willing to let it go. She came prepared this time and directly sent someone to grab the key.
Bai Zhi saw that things were not going well, so she hurried to report to Zhao Wanyue.
"What, she beat Lian Xu!" Zhao Wanyue jumped up from the chair and rushed to the backyard in a hurry.
Zheng Yaxian said with the power of the tiger: "Little hoof, hand over the key, and you don't have to suffer this physical pain!"
Lian Xuan refused to obey, and Liu was so angry that her face turned the color of pig liver. She pointed at Lian Xuan and scolded him: "A slave dares to disobey me. Come, drag her down and beat her!"
Zhao Wanyue shouted coldly: "Stop it, I want to see who dares to touch her?"
Liu was waiting for this. She wanted Zhao Wanyue to go against her openly. In this way, her perfect image as a virtuous wife and a loving mother would collapse. At that time, what could she use to show off to her? Other people's saliva could drown her, and she could also be punished for being unfilial.
