When a small bag of pastries was put into Susu's shoulder bag, she smiled, pulled the bag with one hand, and reached into the bag with the other hand. When she took out the pastries, there was a lotus-shaped pastry.
Jun Moqing looked at Susu's greedy look and took her out of the pastry shop.
Xue Huai took the cakes and paid for them.
Susu took a bite of the tea fruit, raised her little face and looked at Jun Moqing, "Grandpa, next, are we going to look for Grandma La?"
Jun Moqing lowered his eyes and looked at Susu, whose mouth was stuffed with tea fruit. Her pink cheeks bulged when she spoke, which was very cute.
Even though Susu is young, she knew that he was out looking for someone.
"Well, try your luck."
Susu comforted him in an adult tone, "Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely find grandma. When we find grandma, I will ask her if she wants to be my grandma. Grandpa is very handsome and powerful, he won't be fooled."
Jun Moqing listened to Susu's words. Although she spoke intermittently and some words were not clear enough, it did comfort him.
But the last sentence...will it scare her away? "Susu is right, we will definitely meet."
Susu laughed happily twice, and couldn't wait to finish half of the tea fruit in her hand in one bite, even eating the crumbs on her fingers into her mouth, then she clapped her hands in satisfaction.
There were a lot of food stalls on the street, and Susu was a foodie. When she smelled the aroma of the meat pie, she pulled Jun Moqing and ran to the pie stall.
When they arrived at the stall, Susu stood on tiptoe to look up. Having eaten meat patties many times before, she knew it was her favorite meat pie as soon as she smelled the flavor.
“It smells so good.”
Seeing Susu's greedy look, Jun Moqing said, "Take four and pack three."
"Okay."
The stall owner swiftly took out a dry lotus leaf, picked up three pieces of meat, wrapped them on the lotus leaf, and packed them up with a straw rope. Then he took out half a lotus leaf, picked up a meat patty and put it on it. After wrapping it up, he handed it to the glutinous rice ball who had been standing on tiptoe with a smile.
"Girl, please take it carefully."
"Thank you, uncle." Susu happily took the meat pie. It was very crispy as it was fresh out of the oven. A lot of crumbs fell off when she took a bite.
The stall owner saw this and smiled, "This girl is cute and polite."
Jun Moqing lowered his eyes and looked at Susu who was concentrating on the meat pie. His granddaughter was certainly cute and polite.
At this time, the Emperor of the Eastern Palace had just recovered from a serious illness and was recuperating in the Yangxin Palace, so the affairs of state were handed over to Xiao Jinyan. This was the first time since he became the crown prince that he had truly taken on state affairs. Although it was temporary, it gave him a sense of responsibility that was very heavy.
It is not easy to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be a wise ruler.
Xiao Jinyan has always wanted to be a wise ruler, to lead Daxia to a more prosperous era, and to prove with his strength that he can do it.
Just like when he was competing for the position of crown prince, he wanted his father to see his strength and recognize his ability.
At this time, Qin Xiao pushed the door and walked in.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked towards the door, and saw Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao would never come in on his own initiative unless there was something going on, but since he came in on his own initiative, there must be something going on.
"What's up?"
Qin Xiao took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee to salute, "Master."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused. If it wasn't a big deal, Qin Xiao wouldn't have suddenly performed such a ceremony.
"You have been with me for ten years. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Qin Xiao did not hesitate after hearing this, "I would like to ask the master to grant me marriage."
Xiao Jinyan was a little surprised. Qin Xiao, who was always as straight as a log, actually wanted to get married? Then he reflected again. Qin Xiao had been with him for ten years, and he didn't even know that Qin Xiao had this idea.
Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This should have been thought about in advance, but he neglected it.
He was a little curious, "Who do you like?"
Qin Xiao said a little embarrassedly: "My lord, it's Chunxi from Hehuan Palace."
"I should have guessed that she should be from Hehuan Palace. Chunxi is also a smart girl, and she is also good-looking. She is a good match for you." Xiao Jinyan continued: "Is this your own idea or have you already explained this to Chunxi and just want me to be a matchmaker?"
Qin Xiao said: "I have already mentioned this matter to Chunxi, and Chunxi has already nodded in agreement. I want the master to act as a matchmaker."
Xiao Jinyan nodded, feeling that Qin Xiao was not that reckless.
"Well, you are not young anymore, it is time for you to get married and start a family. I will be the matchmaker."
Qin Xiao bowed deeply, "Thank you, Master."
Xiao Jinyan said, "Get up. I will go to the Hehuan Palace and discuss this matter with the Crown Princess."
"Yes, master." Qin Xiao stood up happily.
Xiao Jinyan stood up and walked out of the study, going straight to the next room, and Qin Xiao followed happily.
Chunxi was carrying a plate of cakes to the side hall to serve to her master when she saw the Crown Prince coming. She stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Chunxi, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chunxi stood up and saw Qin Xiao behind the prince. She discovered that Qin Xiao was looking at her, and she lowered her eyes embarrassedly.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Qin Xiao. Why hadn't he noticed this before?
He withdrew his gaze and stepped inside.
Feng Wuyou was lying on the couch, holding a cookbook in his hand, researching new delicacies and also some of Susu's favorite delicacies.
Xiao Jinyan walked to the couch and sat down, then turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu, "Where is Susu?"
Feng Wuyou was watching intently until Xiao Jinyan spoke, then she reacted, put the recipe aside, and helped her sit up.
"Your Highness is here. Susu and my father have gone out of the palace to play."
Chunxi came in with small steps, put the pastries on the low table and then left.
Xiao Jinyan knew that the Imperial Master liked Susu, so it would be nice to go out of the palace for a walk.
"I came here today because I have something to tell you."
Feng Wuyou had just picked up a piece of cake and hadn't had time to put it into her mouth to take a bite when she heard something happened, so she paused.
"Your Highness, what is it?"
Xiao Jinyan did not beat around the bush, after all, he was his right-hand man for decades.
"Qin Xiao is not young anymore. He has taken a fancy to Chun Xi who is beside you. He just came to me to arrange a marriage for you."
Feng Wuyou reminded him, "But Chunxi already has someone she likes. It's not a good idea to hastily arrange a marriage for her."
Xiao Jinyan was also a little surprised, "Really? But Qin Xiao said that he had already mentioned this matter to Chunxi in private. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Feng Wuyou said: "I don't know either, it's been a long time."
Xiao Jinyan looked towards the door and ordered, "Qin Xiao, Chunxi, come in."
The two people who were named were standing at the door, and they also heard the conversation inside.
The two looked at each other, then walked in one after another and greeted each other at the same time.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess."
Xiao Jinyan said: "Did you hear what I said just now? Tell me, is there any misunderstanding?"
Feng Wuyou also looked at Chunxi. Chunxi was her personal maid who had been with her since she came back. She never left her side, no matter whether she was favored or not.
So she attached great importance to Chunxi's marriage.
Chunxi raised her head and glanced at Qin Xiao, then looked at Feng Wuyou and said shyly, "Master, the person I like is Qin Xiao."
"Ah?" Feng Wuyou felt that he had made a big mistake. "Did I misunderstand you before? If I had known that you liked Qin Xiao, I should have let you get married earlier. Maybe you could even have a child."
"It's not too late now." Xiao Jinyan looked at Qin Xiao and Chunxi, "I'll give you one month. I'll ask the accountant to give you the money for the wedding."
"Then I have to prepare a dowry for Chunxi as well. I want Chunxi to get married in a grand manner." Feng Wuyou said with a smile. She had a lot of private money, so she could afford even a ten-mile red wedding.
Qin Xiao and Chunxi looked at each other and happily knelt on the ground to express their gratitude, "Thank you for your grace, Master."
Xiao Jinyan said: "Don't kneel down, get up and get busy."
"Yes, Master."
Qin Xiao and Chunxi said in unison and walked out happily side by side.
Feng Wuyou saw Chunxi's smiling eyes and a hint of girlish shyness, "As expected, marrying someone you love makes your eyes full of joy."
Xiao Jinyan asked with a half-smile: "Are you unhappy?"

Feng Wuyou said: "We are different in that we got married first and fell in love later."
Xiao Jinyan smiled and nodded: "We are indeed different from them. We have experienced separation and forgotten each other. When we meet again, we still like each other. This is also very precious."
Feng Wuyou remained silent.
Xiao Jinyan added: "I liked you when I was in Nanzhao Kingdom, but it wasn't a marriage first and love later."
Feng Wuyou blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "How old was I then? I didn't understand anything."
Xiao Jinyan said, "It's good as long as I understand."
* Susu looked around while eating a meat pie. When she passed by a teahouse, she immediately recognized it as the teahouse where she had had tea with her grandfather last time.
Jun Moqing saw Susu suddenly stop and asked in a gentle voice: "Susu, what's wrong?"
Susu raised her head and looked at Jun Moqing, "Grandpa, will grandma be drinking tea in there?"
Jun Moqing said: "Grandpa doesn't know either, but we can go in and take a look."
"good."
Susu walked in, stepping onto the stairs with her short legs.
There are quite a few people drinking tea inside, most of them are rich people, drinking tea and chatting.
When Susu walked in, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Whose girl is this? She's so pretty."
"She's so pretty at such a young age. It's obvious that she's a nobody. She'll definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
When Jun Moqing walked in and held Susu's hand, everyone was surprised, but at the same time they misunderstood that Jun Moqing and Susu were father and daughter.
"No wonder the little girl is so pretty, it turns out her daddy is also so handsome and extraordinary."
"His wife must be a beauty. Only a beauty can be worthy of such a handsome man."
Jun Moqing simply blocked out everyone's discussion, took Susu to an empty table and sat down.
The waiter asked with a smile: "Sir, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"
Jun Moqing: "Yunwu, add a pot of warm water."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Feng didn't have to wait long before the waiter brought a pot of cloud tea and a pot of warm water, greeted her warmly and left.
Jun Moqing picked up the teapot and poured a cup of warm water in front of Susu, then he picked up another drum of tea and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
He raised his head and looked at Susu, and saw that she was holding the meat pie in her hands and eating it bite by bite, afraid that the crumbs would fall.
"Susu, why do you think she would come here for tea?"
Susu finished the meat pie in her hand, clapped her hands, and said in a baby voice: "Because we met grandma last time we had tea."
How could Jun Moqing forget that children are innocent and think that they will meet again if they see each other in the same place.
"I see."
Susu held the teacup with both hands, brought it to her mouth and took a few sips. After quenching her thirst, she took out a peach blossom-shaped tea cake from her pocket, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Jun Moqing, "Grandpa, are you afraid that grandma doesn't want you?"
Jun Moqing paused after hearing this, "Why do you ask that?"
Susu said, "Because sometimes grandpa makes grandma angry, grandma doesn't want him anymore and even locks him out of the door."
Jun Moqing said: "I didn't realize your grandfather was such a person."
Susu asked curiously, "Is grandpa also such a person?"
Jun Moqing paused after hearing this, and looking at Susu's expectant expression, he said, "Of course I'm not."
Susu looked worried, "What should I do then?"
Jun Moqing asked: "What?"
Susu said seriously, "Grandpa doesn't know how to coax grandma. I'm afraid grandma will keep him outside the door. It's so cold outside."
Jun Moqing: "..."
Susu added: "Grandpa knows how to coax grandma. Every time he is locked up for a while, grandma lets him in. Grandpa also says that grandma is so nice."
Jun Moqing: "..."
Susu took a bite of the tea fruit worriedly. It was a little sweet and a little soft. Her delicate eyebrows relaxed and she looked very satisfied.
Jun Moqing picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips and took a few sips. It seemed that the relationship between the emperor and the empress was no different from that of an ordinary couple. Only the empress dared to lock the emperor out of the door.
Susu took a big bite of the tea fruit, her cheeks puffed up. She looked up and saw a woman in black clothes coming down from the second floor.
Susu excitedly stretched out her little hand and pointed, "Grandpa, grandma is here."
Jun Moqing raised his head upon hearing that and looked in the direction of Susu's finger, and saw a woman in black narrow sleeves with dark patterns walking down from the second floor.
His cold gaze fell on the woman's face, which was familiar yet also a little strange.
Seeing Jun Moqing sitting still, Susu stuffed the remaining tea into her mouth, then swiftly got down from the chair and ran towards the woman with her short legs.
When he ran to Feng Qingyan, he grabbed her sleeve with his little hand, and his childish voice was filled with excitement.
"Grandma, grandma, I found Ni La."
Feng Qingyan was walking peacefully when someone suddenly grabbed her sleeve. She looked down and found that it was an acquaintance. As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Since they had met each other several times, they were considered familiar with each other.
She raised her head and looked around, finally looking at Susu, "Why did you run out?"
Susu said with a smile: "I came here to look for grandma."
Feng Qingyan: “…” What kind of fate does she have with this girl that makes her meet her again and again, and makes her call her grandma so affectionately?
Good night spicy!
