"Your Majesty, my elder brother's body is still warm, how can his daughter marry at this time? According to the rules, children should observe mourning for three years."
"Besides, my eldest brother's most precious daughter was Su Qiao. The father and daughter had a deep relationship. I believe my niece would also want to observe mourning for her father to show her filial piety."
The emperor's eyes fell on his second son in the hall. "Well, your mother is right."
"Your Majesty, I..." Duanmu Yuan was about to say something when he unexpectedly heard Su Qiao arrive.
"Your Majesty, Miss Su is here."
Eunuch Liu flicked his whisk, bent down and whispered something in the emperor's ear, then stood behind him.
"Su Qiao pays respects to the Emperor."
Su Qiao walked in with confidence and performed a somewhat impolite greeting.
He quickly scanned the people present and felt a little surprised.
The eldest prince was carried back. She thought the emperor wanted to ask him about this matter, but it seems she was wrong.
The emperor didn't mind her perfunctory greeting at all.
After all, everyone knew that she was a "fool", and as an emperor, he would not compete with a fool.
Since the emperor didn't say anything, others could only keep their opinions to themselves even if they had any.
Looking at Su Qiao's familiar face, the emperor's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "You... look really like your mother."
Su Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and nodded with a smile: "Yeah, that's what my father said."
After saying that, without waiting for the emperor's response, she walked to the table next to her and her eyes fell on the plates of beautiful pastries on the table. "Your Majesty, what are these cakes? Are they delicious?"
She refused to just stand there stupidly like a criminal on trial.
It is still more comfortable to sit. It would be even more comfortable if you can eat snacks while sitting.
Eunuch Liu didn't expect this girl to be so bold. He stole a glance at the emperor and immediately stepped forward. "How dare you!"
Before Su Qiao could react, the old emperor looked sternly and glanced at him with some displeasure.
Eunuch Liu paused and quickly stepped back.
Silly girl, don't mess with her.
The emperor is protecting you.
The old emperor stood up from the main seat, walked over slowly, and said kindly, "Do you want to eat?"
Su Qiao nodded honestly and said, "If the emperor doesn't want to eat, then I will. My father said that food should not be wasted. There are many people out there who don't have enough to eat."
"Oh? Your father would say this to you?" The old emperor was a little surprised and sat down at the table.
"Hmm." Su Qiao stared at him with clear eyes. "Then Your Majesty, do you want to eat?"
Xiao Si, scan it to see if it's poisonous.
Nowadays, being an emperor is the most dangerous profession.
His son was staring at the chair under his butt.
It’s better to be careful.
Host, eat with confidence.
The old emperor had never seen anyone so relaxed in front of him, and he found it very interesting. "Haha, here's a reward for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Qiao didn't bother to be polite with him and just reached out to take the pastries.
After eating a piece, he pointed at Eunuch Liu who was holding the whisk and said, "You, pour me a glass of water."
Eunuch Liu was stunned. He had never encountered such a thing before.
Who is he
Even the concubines in the palace had to be polite to him when they saw him.
This little girl is so good, she actually...
Seeing that he didn't move, the old emperor felt a little unhappy. "Pour her a glass of water."
"Yes." The emperor had already given in, what else could Eunuch Liu say
"Is it delicious?" Seeing Su Qiao eating with relish, the old emperor couldn't help asking.
"Mmm, delicious. I didn't know the food in the palace was so delicious."
Su Qiao had eaten a lot of delicious food in the previous world, but this was the first time he had eaten something real from the imperial palace.
As expected, everything the emperor eats is the best.
This taste is really good.
"So do you want to eat all the way to the palace?"
The old emperor smiled naturally, as if what he had just said was just a very ordinary sentence.
