Su Mingche is chubby and very likable. Princess Yi Yang knows that the father and son have done favors for the Xia family, so she treats them very well.
"Sister Zhiliao, it turns out your grandmother is so beautiful. No wonder your godmother is beautiful. You are beautiful too."
Princess Yiyang smiled, "Since you are Yue'er's godson, then I am naturally your grandmother as well. Come here often in the future and play with Zhiliao and the others. You don't have to be polite."
Su Mingche nodded hurriedly, "Hey, I'm really not welcome then."
Boss Su glanced at his son and wondered how he could take advantage of the situation.
This is the princess's palace. Is it a place where people like them can come casually?
Princess Yiyang smiled, "That's right, it's the same now as it was before. Although their identities are different, the friendship you had in the past is still there."
Princess Yi Yang's few words almost made Boss Su burst into tears. The princess is so nice.
But his heart was also dead.
After all, I had thought about letting my son and Zhiliao get married in the future, but now thinking about their identities, I no longer have such wishful thinking.
However, as Princess Yi Yang said, their affection was not fake, the children were still young, and he did not want to restrict them by their status.
So I told my son that he should still be nice to his sister Zhiliao and his godmother.
Xia Jinxiu has also chosen a location for her shop. She has experience. The family members each have their own responsibilities. Except for Old Lady Xia and Wei Rong who are relatively free, the rest of the people are too busy.
She didn't feel wronged. She just had to take care of her own business.
It takes time to recruit helpers, so they have to be selected carefully. So she is now cleaning up the junk left by the previous family.
She wasn't in this line of work before, so she couldn't use many things. Of course, there was nothing good about them. They were all things that had to be thrown away.
Two young servants also came to the general's mansion, and were now doing what Xia Jinxiu had said.
"That, I don't want that either, and that..."
Xia Jinxiu heard footsteps behind her and said, "The shop hasn't opened yet. Come back in a few days."
However, the person behind her did not leave. She turned back subconsciously and saw the face of the person. She was so scared that she quickly knelt down and said, "I give you my love..."
"Get up, we are outside." Emperor Shunde said.
Xia Jinxiu got up very slowly, her mind was confused. Why was he here?
Emperor Shunde walked in with square steps and looked around the room. Xia Jinxiu felt a little uneasy.
"Keep busy."
Xia Jinxiu complained in her heart, how could she be busy when he was here.
Seeing Xia Jinxiu standing there in a daze, Su Dequan kindly reminded her, "Miss Xia, why don't you pour a cup of tea for the master?"
Xia Jinxiu looked at him and said, "I want to pour it, but I don't have any. I haven't bought everything yet."
Actually, there were, but Xia Jinxiu wanted to find an excuse to make them leave quickly.
What is this for?
"It's okay. I'm not thirsty."
Emperor Shunde was around, and Xia Jinxiu could do nothing else but stay by his side, but she cursed him in her heart.
But what can he do? He still won't leave.
She didn't know what to say to him, she just answered every question he asked.
"Now that you have the support of the General's Mansion and a relative like Princess Yiyang, why do you still need a girl like you to come out and make money?"
Xia Jinxiu did not answer immediately, he was still cursing.
If Su Dequan hadn't coughed, she would still be immersed in her own world.
"Oh, Your Majesty, this is what I wanted. Others belong to others. No matter how powerful or rich they are, it has nothing to do with me. I have hands and feet, and I don't like to rely on others."
"But you are a girl..." Emperor Shunde looked at Xia Jinxiu, "You don't have to do this when you want to find a good marriage in the future."
Su Dequan was just laughing there. He naturally knew that the emperor was interested in Xia Jinxiu, otherwise why would he have to leave the palace to come here to take a look.
Miss Xia is so lucky.
What a damn blessing! I'm giving it to you, do you want it?
If Xia Jinxiu heard it, she would definitely ask him this.
"But I can make money and support myself, why do I have to rely on a man?" Xia Jinxiu asked back.
"The rich and powerful don't like their women to show up in public."
Xia Jinxiu nodded, "Then I won't marry into a rich family. They have strict family backgrounds. I'm used to being free and don't want to be restricted."
Seeing that things were going in two directions, Su Dequan quickly advised, "Miss Xia, girls have to get married!"
"Must I marry? Isn't there a law in our dynasty that women will be punished if they don't marry?"
Xia Jinxiu smiled faintly, "I think it's good for me this way. I can spend the money I earn myself and don't need to rely on anyone."
She originally wanted to tell Emperor Shunde that she was not a silkworm that depended on others, but she did not expect that Emperor Shunde would treat her differently.
After all, there is no need to say much about such a woman. She is beautiful enough, has a strong personality, and is naturally attractive enough.
"So you'd rather run this shop than get married?"
"The person I want to marry will naturally have to accept everything I do. If they despise me, then I will definitely not marry them."
Emperor Shunde smiled and asked, "When will this shop open?"
Xia Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. She didn't dare to lie about this. She still hadn't figured out how he found this place.
But on second thought, he is the emperor, there is nothing he doesn't know.
"It will take some time, and the specific time has not been determined yet."
She didn't even ask him why he asked these questions.
At the moment, she had only one thought, one idea, to tell him to leave quickly and stop talking nonsense.
But Emperor Shunde didn't want to leave. He looked at Xia Jinxiu with a complicated expression, which made people feel uneasy.
"Your Majesty, there's a lot of dust here and we haven't had time to clean it up yet. Would you... want to... ahem..."
Is that obvious enough?
Xia Jinxiu thought to herself.
How could Emperor Shunde not understand, "Xia Jinxiu, if I let you enter the palace or continue to run this shop, which one would you choose?"
Xia Jinxiu was so scared that she knelt on the ground.
Of course she chose to continue running the shop.
Are you going to the palace to seek death?
"Your Majesty... I am terrified. Please don't joke with me like this!"
Emperor Shunde's eyes suddenly turned cold, "I am not joking."
Xia Jinxiu's voice trembled with fear. Of course, she was not stupid enough to refuse directly and not give the emperor face. Was she tired of living?
"But...but I already have an engagement."
Emperor Shunde frowned, "When? How come I don't know?"
Xia Jinxiu reacted quickly. Could it be that he had investigated her before?
"This... this happened back in my hometown. My family all knows about it."
Emperor Shunde's face was grim. He stared at Xia Jinxiu and said, "Do you know that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime?"
Xia Jinxiu kowtowed quickly, "I dare not, I really already have an engagement."
Let her die, she would rather die than enter the palace.
You are the emperor, you can't really go to his house and ask him now, right?
