Chapter 571: The Emperor Arrives
As soon as Little Tangbao showed up, the village chief immediately shouted, "Fuya is here! Everyone, hurry up and line up! It's getting late, hurry up..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
This is quite a big scene.
But what exactly are we going to do?
Little Tangbao tugged at Xia Siya's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister Siya, what are you going to do?"
Xia Siya's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "Sister Fuya, have you forgotten? Didn't you tell the Emperor not to forget to treat the entire village to meat?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Understood.
It turns out that the emperor took off his vest and invited everyone to dinner.
No wonder everyone in the village wore their best clothes.
"Sister Siya, thank goodness you're back today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch the emperor's dinner." Little Tangbao said seriously, looking like he was calculating, "When the emperor invites me to dinner, I must eat a lot. I didn't eat anything this morning, so now's the perfect time for me to eat the emperor's dinner."
Although, she had overslept.
Xia Siya nodded in agreement.
At the same time, there are some regrets.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten cakes in the carriage." Xia Siya said in annoyance.
Wangcai and his group of younger brothers did not set up stalls today, they were all waiting for the feast.
"Boss, I only ate half a steamed bun this morning."
"Boss, I just ate a boiled egg."
"Boss, I just drank a few mouthfuls of porridge."
"Boss, I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling..."
A group of younger brothers surrounded Xiao Tangbao, and they all said that they would follow the boss's footsteps and save their stomachs for the emperor.
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched.
In fact, she just said that.
After hearing what the children said, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but laugh and cry.
At the same time, I felt somewhat relieved.
I am glad that I came to Daliushu Village.
What an honor it is to be invited to dinner by the emperor!
Sure enough, after adopting Fu Ya as his goddaughter, he became more and more blessed.
At this time, the village chief came over and shouted to Wangcai and others, "Follow behind!"
Then, he walked up to Madam Xia and said respectfully, "Madam, please."
Madam Xia is the wife of an official.
Although wives of officials are not allowed to act like officials in Daliushu Village, the village chief naturally has to arrange Madam Xia to sit in front when going to meet the emperor.
What's more, Mrs. Xia was holding little Tangbao's hand.
Xiao Tangbao is also a village chief with a rank and a title.
Mrs. Xia listened to the village chief's words and nodded slightly.
Although she did not act like an official's wife, she still naturally exuded a graceful demeanor when facing ordinary people.
Madam Xia looked at Old Madam Su and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Su, let's go."
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Okay."
So, Mrs. Xia, Old Lady Su, Xiao Tangbao and Xia Siya walked in front, followed by the whole village.
The emperor said he would invite the whole village to dinner, so naturally everyone in the village went.
Even those with limited mobility were carried and followed behind.
For example, Su Lao San was carried by Su Lao Da and Su Lao Si on a bed board.
If the emperor invites you to dinner, even if it's just a bowl of vegetable soup, you can show off for many lifetimes.
The gate of the mansion was wide open.
The strong smell of blood from last night has long been replaced by the fragrance of flowers.
Wang Zhong was waiting at the door, smiling and inviting everyone to come in.
This was not the first time people came here, but the lively atmosphere was very different from the last time the old general hosted a dinner here.
No one was laughing, no one was making noise, and no one was joking or laughing...
Little Tangbao glanced behind him.
The team is quite neat and tidy, with a sense of ceremony.
But everyone looked nervous and their faces were tense.
Wang Zhong was not surprised to see this situation.
No matter how carefree these people were, after saying so many bad things about the emperor, it was impossible for them not to be nervous and afraid when they knew the emperor's identity.
"Mr. Su, the emperor said that he wants to have a few drinks with you today." Wang Zhong looked at Old Man Su and said with a smile.
Old Man Su quickly put on a flattered expression.
The village chief and others all looked at Old Man Su with envy.
Tables, chairs and benches have been set up in the yard.
Although it is an open-air seating, it is more in line with people's habits.
However, in the front, facing everyone, there was a large rosewood table.
Next to the table, there was only a large wooden chair with carved patterns made of rosewood.
"Everyone, please sit wherever you want..." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
No one dared to sit.
The village chief came up to Wang Zhong and asked with a bow, "Manager Wang, what is the emperor doing? When will he come?"
Wang Zhong glanced at the village chief and said nothing.
How could he reveal the emperor's whereabouts?
Old Man Su also looked at Wang Zhong with anticipation.
But he did not forget that his little girl had not had breakfast.
Wang Zhong glanced at Old Man Su.
"The Emperor is currently discussing matters with Magistrate Xia and General Hu Wei."
Wang Zhong made a suggestion.
village head,"……"
Oh, the emperor is busy now, so it’s hard to say when he will come.
Old Man Su, “…”
He frowned, thinking that the little girl must have been hungry for a long time.
Xiao Tangbao also heard what Wang Zhong said and immediately asked Xia Siya in surprise.
"Is godfather here too?"
"He's here! My father rushed here before dawn." Xia Siya said mysteriously, "I heard from my mother that my father got up in the middle of the night and hurriedly brought people to Daliushu Village..."
It turned out that Magistrate Xia received news that the emperor was assassinated in Daliushu Village.
The Huwei Camp stationed outside Qingyang City rushed to Daliushu Village overnight to rescue the emperor.
As the prefect, Xia Zhifu naturally had to come too.
It was because Mrs. Xia heard about this and was worried about the Su family that she rushed over with her daughter as soon as the sun rose.
Little Tangbao blinked his eyes, so that's how it is.
"Sister Fuya, what does the emperor look like?" Xia Siya asked curiously, "Is he powerful? Is he scary? Is he particularly strict?"
Xiao Tangbao thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor is very kind and gentle, has a good temper, is very willing to listen to advice, has a broad mind, and is not intimidating at all."
After all, the emperor suffered so many setbacks in Daliushu Village, but he still kept his promise and invited people to dinner, which shows that he is not a petty person.
"Oh." Xia Siya was relieved. "That's good. I can eat to my heart's content later."
The two were talking in whispers when Wang Zhong suddenly shouted.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"Kneel down! Kneel down quickly..."
The village chief shouted anxiously in a low voice.
In an instant, all the people standing knelt down.
Including Xia Siya.
Mrs. Xia had already reminded her daughter of this a long time ago.
When you see the emperor, you must kneel down.
The only one standing was Xiao Tangbao.
Because no one told her.
"Sister Fuya, kneel down quickly."
Xia Siya secretly tugged at Xiao Tangbao's sleeve.
"……oh."
Xiao Tangbao also knelt down.
