Chapter 73, Royal Family

Qing Da turned his head slightly and sighed.

Of course it was different, this was the best golden charcoal in the whole capital.

The ordinary charcoal in the mansion before was something that the master didn't use, and was sent by the old lady to the two young masters.

This golden charcoal was secretly exchanged by him in order to repay the grandmother.

"Brother, can you help me see how these sentences are written!"

The room suddenly became warm.

Xie Zixing jumped up and took out the poem he wrote to show Xie Zimu. Zimu

took a look and sighed, "Brother, I think you are very good at martial arts!"

Xie Zixing didn't react for a while.

"Hey, the second young master follows my Qing Sheng every day, and he is in good health!" Qing Da is also a stubborn person, and smiled.

After hearing this, Xie Zixing opened his mouth and burst into tears, "Brother, are you saying I'm stupid?"

The young master who always boasted of being the bravest turned out to be a little crybaby.

Xie Zimu suppressed the smile on his face and clenched the book in his hand.

There are still a few months before the Spring Examination.

In the palace.

The little girl clamored for her mother to bury her under the coral tree.

But a thin layer of snow had already fallen in the palace, and Liu Wan was afraid that she would be frozen, so she did not agree.

Xia Wanwan, with tears in her big eyes, let her mother carry her to Suhui Palace.

Liu Wan did not expect that there was not only Concubine Ling here, but also the emperor, the queen mother, and the ninth prince Xia Siheng.

The long table in Suhui Palace was full of people from the royal family.

The prince saluted everyone, and Liu Wan followed suit.

"Stand up." The emperor said with a smile on his face, and asked someone to add seats for Liu Wan and the prince.

Liu Wan was a little confused.

Concubine Ling sat below the emperor and said with a smile, "My leg is healed. The reason I summoned you in is because you helped me drive away the evil spirit last time, but I haven't rewarded you yet. That's why I called the emperor."

Liu Wan smiled while holding the child, "Your Highness, I obey your order. Then you'll go wait outside."

"No need. It's the first snow today. It's good for our family to have a meal together. Please sit down."

Concubine Ling said, and asked the palace maid to take Liu Wan to sit down.

Liu Wan was overwhelmed by the favor. How could she be a family with the royal family?

"Don't get me wrong. Your aunt used to eat with us like this before. We all miss her very much."

The words of Concubine Ling made Liu Wan feel warm in her heart.

A family.

Concubine Ling and His Majesty actually regarded her aunt as a family member.

It was not in vain that her aunt had shown kindness to the late emperor and taught His Majesty how to read and write.

Concubine Ling smiled slightly and looked at Xia Siheng.

Xia Siheng nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Tsk, who says we are a family? If it weren't for Wanwanhui, I wouldn't have come. How long has it been since I

last saw this little guy? Humph, if it weren't for Liu Wan giving birth to a good daughter..." The Queen Mother rolled her eyes, but she seemed to be in a good mood.

Because since the last time, everyone who saw her praised her for her good skin and said she looked 20 years younger.

Concubine Ling said unhappily, "If you don't want to come, just leave. I didn't ask you to come."

"Tsk, do you think I will come if you ask me? You are not even one tenth as pretty as me now, so I won't bother with you."

"Li Zhaotang, do you want to quarrel with me in front of the children?"

"Come on, I am not afraid of the emperor, so why should I be afraid of a sick old woman like you?" The Queen

Mother stood up and rolled up her sleeves elegantly. As they talked, the two of them almost started fighting.

The atmosphere became more and more solemn, but the people present were not nervous at all, as if they were used to it.

"Well, luckily there are no outsiders here, otherwise you wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at. You should at least maintain the face of the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager!"

The emperor interrupted them. He was now smiling, frowning and stroking his brow.

Oh, my mother is really something.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Two voices cursed at the emperor. The emperor didn't dare to speak and could only cough dryly.

Liu Wan was fidgeting and was a little horrified by the scene in front of her.

No wonder her aunt told her before that she shouldn't mess with those people in the royal family.

Isn't it true? Can you afford to mess with women who dare to scold even the emperor, the supreme ruler of the world?

"They have been like this for more than ten years. You don't have to panic. The status of women in the royal family has always been high. The previous emperor also came this way."

Xia Siheng smiled lightly. He sat next to Concubine Ling and looked at Liu Wan.

Seeing that there was no food in her bowl, he wanted to reach out and help her pick it up.

But he felt something was wrong and his hand stopped in mid-air.

Finally, he picked up a piece of side dish and gave it to the little guy in Liu Wan's arms.

Liu Wan's face was a little hot.

She was afraid that the Ninth Prince would do something out of line. It seems that she was thinking too much.

Xia Wanwan's eyes were wide open. She wanted to reach out and take it, but after thinking about it, she snorted coldly and turned her head to bury herself in her mother's arms.

[No, no, I'm so angry. My mother didn't even let anyone bury me. Wuwuwu. 】

【Then let her baby starve to death and make her regret it! 】

Xia Siheng and Xia Qianlin paused slightly.

Liu Wan had no choice but to pull the little guy apart, looked at her angry face, and coaxed, "You just drank a bottle of milk before going out this morning, aren't you hungry?"

Xia Wanwan pouted, "No... no time..." wωω.ξìйgyuＴxt.иeΤ

pointed at the snacks on Xia Siheng's chopsticks again, "Starve to death... Wo... Forget it."

"Mom... regrets..."

Liu Wan suppressed the smile on her face.

How could her little Wanwan be so adorable!

Oh my God!

Not only Liu Wan, but everyone was amused.

Xia Siheng was not embarrassed either. He put the dish into his mouth and sighed, "You are worthy of being Chef Yu. The complementary food you made is sweet and delicious, and melts in your mouth. Not to mention me, even a baby without teeth can eat it."

"Wow, it's so delicious. There's nothing so delicious in the world..."

After saying that, he asked someone to take away the complementary food.

Xia Wanwan's big eyes were filled with tears. Seeing that the food was really taken away, she pouted and cried out, "Wow."

"Bad...bad uncle...uncle..."

She cried very loudly and couldn't stop.

"You are such a fool. You are such a grown-up and still teasing a child." Concubine Ling said to him.

Xia Siheng smiled softly.

"Come, Wanwan, I will feed you." The Queen Mother asked someone to bring the complementary food back.

Xia Wanwan was carried into the Queen Mother's arms. She glared at Xia Siheng angrily, with a proud expression on her face.

[Hmph, you stinky villain, Wanwan is eating in the Queen Mother's aunt's arms. Let me see what you can do to me.]

After humming, he took the food fed by the Queen Mother and gulped it into his mouth.

He smacked his lips with satisfaction.

[It's really good, as good as the one made by Uncle Li. 】

【Whether it's the Empress Dowager Aunt or the Concubine Aunt, I like them so much, what a pity...】

Thinking of this in her heart, Xia Wanwan's face suddenly wrinkled.

Oh, their end is too tragic.
