Emperor Shunde naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant, but chose to ignore Wen Heng.
Xia Zhiliao felt very uncomfortable watching from the side. No wonder Wen Heng became a villain. With such a father around him, and having never felt any warmth from childhood to adulthood, it would be hard not to grow up astray.
What's more, what Emperor Shunde did...
Xia Zhiliao felt a little sorry for Wen Heng at this moment.
Wen Heng naturally knew that no matter what he did, his father would never look at him straight in the eye, so he didn't care, because he came back not for the fatherly love and filial piety, or for the family to be reunited.
He was also looking at Xia Zhiliao. Although the little girl was quiet at the moment, he still saw heartache and sympathy in her eyes.
"Didn't you say... that you wanted me to take you around the capital?" Wen Heng took the initiative to speak.
Xia Zhiliao was stunned. When did she say that?
"Ah? Oh, yes, but now..." Xia Zhiliao looked at the Queen Mother, and could only find a breakthrough from this kind old lady.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. It's a rare opportunity to come to the capital. Go and have fun with your brother Heng."
Xia Zhiliao breathed a sigh of relief. She knew very well what it meant to serve the king like serving a tiger.
However, just as the three were about to walk out, Emperor Shunde suddenly spoke.
"etc!"
[What are you waiting for? I haven't gotten into trouble.]
Wen Heng's eyes narrowed and he clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.
"I remember that the Queen Mother loves the snacks made by your family. Since you are in the capital, why don't you make some more and send them to the palace?"
Xia Zhiliao breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wen Heng. He naturally knew that it was him who brought the snacks in. "I..."
"Forget it. It's too troublesome to send it to the palace. Let's make it in the palace. It tastes better when it's hot. We can also teach the people in the imperial kitchen so that the Queen Mother won't be unable to eat it in the future."
[Can't eat? Does that mean you agree to let General Wei leave the capital with us? ]
Wen Heng was worried about other things, but he had to say that the little girl was really good at analysis. It seemed that his father had already made a decision.
[But if my aunt enters the palace, the emperor will see her beauty and take her into the harem. Wouldn't my aunt be on the verge of death? But if he doesn't let my aunt come, how can I refuse? ]
"What's the problem?" asked Emperor Shunde.
"have!"
"Tell me about it." Emperor Shunde was not angry. Although he was rejected, not many people dared to reject him.
It seems like no one has ever taught this little girl before. If someone had taught her, they would have known that she cannot be rejected.
"My family's dim sum has an exclusive secret recipe. No...I can't teach it to others. Otherwise, our family won't be able to make money."
The Queen Mother laughed loudly after hearing this. "You are not lying at all, you really love money. Haha, Your Majesty, what they said is not wrong. Since it is an exclusive secret recipe, it is not good to let outsiders know, right?"
Emperor Shunde also laughed, "Then let the people who make snacks come to the palace to make them, and then go back after they are done. I won't ask anyone to watch over them, how do you think?"
Xia Zhiliao knew that if she refused again, it would be a bit shameless.
"What if it doesn't taste good? Your Majesty, will my aunt be scolded?"
"No." Emperor Shunde said. Although this child loves money, how many people in the world don't love money? She also cares a lot about her family.
"What if you do well? Will there be a reward?" Xia Zhiliao asked a little too demandingly.
"Cicada!" Xia Chen just wanted to take her daughter and leave quickly, but the little girl started bargaining here.
These are the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Not a street vendor.
"You are quite clever, girl. What reward do you want?"
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Brother, bringing snacks to the Queen Mother is filial piety. You asked my aunt to make snacks for the Queen Mother, which is also filial piety. Then my aunt also helped. Am I right?"
"Yes!" Emperor Shunde looked at her with interest, wanting to know what this girl was going to say next.
"Then my aunt should be rewarded. If the Queen Mother is happy with the food, then my aunt can tell everyone that this is the Queen Mother's favorite snack when she returns home, okay?"
This reward is not excessive and is real.
Emperor Shunde wanted money again because of her, but he didn't expect it was this. In the long run, it is much more cost-effective than asking for money.
"Okay, so your aunt can earn more money?"
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Well, my aunt will buy me a lot of things when she makes money, so I will have a share."
"Okay."
Xia Zhiliao appeared overjoyed on the surface, but deep down she was still worried about her aunt coming to the palace to make snacks.
She had to think of a way to prevent the emperor from falling in love with her aunt at first sight.
Only after leaving the palace did Xia Chen feel that her head was her own. She had felt that it might fall off at any time.
"You scared me to death, Zhiliao. You are so brave." Xia Chen patted her chest lightly. She really felt like she was about to die. Whoever wanted to come to this place could come in the future, but she would never come.
However, why did she feel familiar with such a scary place?
She couldn't help but look back at the tall red wall, which was solemn and dignified.
Wen Heng saw this scene and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Xia, do you feel that the palace is somewhat familiar?"
Xia Chen shook her head.
"Don't you trust me?"
Xia Chen hurriedly denied, "No, I just... I can't say it well. This place is too scary. I'm scared."
"Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Xia Zhiliao smiled sweetly, "Look, we both went in and came out safe and sound, nothing happened to us, and we even got a reward, we earned it."
The younger daughter said it lightly, but Xia Chen was really scared to death.
"You, what are you talking about? You are so brave."
Xia Zhiliao grinned, "Mom, you should tell your brother the truth. This will help you find your family!"
"Yes, Aunt Xia, the Empress Dowager just said that. I think you might have a relationship with Princess Yiyang. Who knows..."
"How could it be?" Xia Chen shook her head. "I don't have that kind of fate. If you want to say familiar, I do feel a little bit, but I'm not sure. I really don't remember anything from my childhood. It seems like I've been here, but I'm not sure. As for what you said, I really don't dare to think about it. I don't dare."
[Maybe my mom is really like that, that would be really interesting. ]
Wen Heng and the little girl looked at each other, and they both knew that the other thought the same thing.
"Leave it to me." Wen Heng said.
Xia Zhiliao looked over and asked, "Are you...convenient?"
"Care about me? This wasn't the case when you asked me for help before!" Wen Heng curled his lips.
"I..." Xia Zhiliao puffed his cheeks.
Wen Heng didn't want to embarrass a child, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the general's mansion."
