It's impossible to be unrestrained.
Even at the height of Xie Fugui's fame, they never entered the palace, nor did they ever see any of the nobles there.
Grandma Tian and the others were both excited and apprehensive.
As soon as Sisi finished speaking, Old Madam Tian knelt down again. "Your Highness, I don't need to sit. I'm not at all constrained."
When Xie Laoda and the others saw that Old Lady Tian had knelt down, they quickly followed suit and knelt down as well.
Sisi saw that they were being direct and stated their purpose, which saved them from overthinking.
"I invited you here for two reasons, firstly, to give you a welcome dinner."
"Secondly, I want to tell you that although Master Xie has lost his talent, the dynasty still recognizes the contributions he made to the people of this land. You don't need to feel inferior. Master Xie created many new weapons, some of which are still powerful tools for conquering cities and defending the borders."
"Thirdly, I would like to ask what the two young masters Xie have planned for the future? His Majesty and the Crown Prince both said that like father, like sons, and that they would arrange jobs for the two young masters. Which government office would you two like to serve in?"
"His Majesty and the Crown Prince said that it is not necessary for sons to inherit their fathers' jobs. They can choose what they like and what they can do."
"My two sons, go back and think it over. Once you've made up your minds, come back and tell me, and I'll make arrangements for you. Don't feel pressured; I won't put you in a position of great responsibility right away."
She was simply giving the two brothers a chance. Whether they could handle it and rise to the next level depended on themselves.
Grandma Tian and Xie Laoda and Xie Laoer were both moved and ashamed when they heard this.
They...they really judged others by their own petty standards.
They now wish they could fly back and carry their husbands/fathers to the capital.
The eldest son's wife and the second son's wife wanted to cry.
They thought they would have to live a life of subservience to their husbands' families.
Unexpectedly... they never expected that their husbands would have the opportunity to work in the government office.
They must urge their husbands to work hard when they get home.
The children of Xiao Bao's generation listened in stunned silence.
What does that mean?
Was his grandfather a big shot?
His father and his uncle are going to work at the government office.
They miss their friends so much; they can't even find anyone to brag to!
Sisi waited a while until they came to their senses before looking at the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid nodded and left.
A moment later, the palace maid who had just left returned with several other maids. Each of the maids carried a tray.
Sisi pointed to the trays and said, "Get up, everyone. These are gifts I prepared for the children."
Grandma Tian kowtowed to Sisi again. "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. Your Highness, this humble woman...this humble woman kowtows to you."
After saying that, Grandma Tian kowtowed to Sisi again.
Sisi glanced at the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid went over and helped Old Madam Tian up.
Sisi smiled. "Sit down, don't be shy."
"yes."
This time, Old Madam Tian sat down. "Your Highness, I am clumsy with words, please don't mind."
"It's nothing." Sisi waved to Xie Xiaobao. "Come here, are you Xie Xiaobao? Do you like listening to stories?"
Xie Xiaobao's eyes widened immediately. "How did you know?"
Sisi smiled smugly. "I can calculate. I also know you're afraid to go out alone at night."
Xie Xiaobao lowered his head shyly. "I...I'm still young. I'll dare to do it when I'm a little older."
"Hmm. You'll dare to do it when you're a little older."
Xie Xiaobao was delighted to hear Sisi affirm his statement. "Your Highness, you are so beautiful! You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. When I grow up, can I marry you?"
Just as Old Mrs. Tian was about to apologize to Sisi, Sisi looked at Xie Xiaobao and laughed, "It's not easy to marry a wife as beautiful as me. You have to be able to fight on horseback and govern the country on foot."
Xie Xiaobao believed he could do it. "Your Highness, wait for me. When I grow up, I will be able to kill the enemy and bring peace to the country."
"Alright. I'll be waiting for you."
Xie Xiaobao ran over to Sisi and hugged her leg. "Your Highness, you're so kind. I like you. I'll buy you candy when I receive my deposit."
Sisi pinched Xie Xiaobao's little face. "Okay, I'll wait for you to buy me candy."
Grandma Tian and the others weren't so nervous anymore after seeing how kind Sisi was.
After finishing their meal, Grandma Tian and the others said goodbye.
Sisi gave them a truckload of the latest trendy fabrics from Beijing. They could give them away or wear them themselves.
Before leaving, Xie Xiaobao told Sisi again that he would buy her candy when he received his New Year's money.
Sisi gave Xie Xiaobao a box of pastries separately.
Xie Xiaobao happily carried him out of the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, his elder brother told him that the Crown Princess was already married and could not marry him.
Xie Xiaobao didn't believe him. "The Crown Princess already promised me, she wouldn't lie to me. Are you speaking ill of the Crown Princess because she didn't give you any snacks?"
Just as Grandma Tian was about to tell Xie Xiaobao that his older brother hadn't lied to him, she saw three old men running towards her, calling out, "Second Sister, Second Sister!"
Grandma Tian immediately forgot about Xie Xiaobao.
The eyes of the four siblings couldn't help but turn red.
Fearing they would lose their composure at the palace gate, Tian Lao Er quickly said, "Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Second Aunt, let's go home and talk, let's go home and talk."
Grandpa Tian wiped his face. "Yes, let's talk at home. Come on, let's go home."
