Zhen took a sip of soup calmly.
He shook his head slowly and said, "I'm used to living in the village. It's too cold in the capital and I'm not used to it anymore."
The Bai family breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor smiled and said: "I came here today and found that the winter in Nanguan Mountain is similar to that in the capital, with the same snow and the same wind. It's just that the walls of the capital are thicker, so the house is warmer."
Zhen knew what the emperor meant, so he still tried to persuade her to return to the capital.
"Besides, not only my cousin is returning to Beijing, but the old lady, her cousin, husband and others will also return to Beijing to live together." The emperor said.
Others especially, Eugene Gui's face lit up with joy after hearing this.
Going to live in the capital is a place I only dream of.
Huaicheng is already so prosperous. I heard that the capital city is hundreds of times more prosperous than Huaicheng. What a gentle and wealthy town it must be.
Besides, since my mother-in-law is the niece of the Queen Mother, I can be considered a relative of the emperor.
When you arrive in the capital, you can not only visit the shops every day, but also go to the Royal Garden.
Even eating and dressing are taken care of.
This day is beautiful just thinking about it.
I don't know why my mother-in-law is hesitating. She doesn't want to enjoy a good and wealthy life, but she wants to stay in Shenshu Village.
If she could make the decision, she would definitely make the decision immediately and go to the capital tomorrow. But the problem is that she can't make the decision.
By the way, sister-in-law, as long as the sister-in-law is willing to go to the capital, her parents-in-law and grandmother-in-law will not object.
Eugene Gui's eyes lit up and he looked at Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan took a sip of hot tea, raised her head and met Eugene Gui's eyes, half-smiling.
"Back to the emperor, I am an old woman who is used to living in the countryside. She is old and can't walk anymore, so she won't go." Old Mrs. Bai boldly replied.
She doesn't want to go to the capital, she's used to living in Shenshu Village all her life!
Her roots are here. She likes chatting with the old sisters in the village and does not want to go to the capital to deal with those high-ranking ladies. She had thought about it, if the emperor forced all the Bai family to go, for the sake of the future of their children and grandchildren, she would let her son and daughter-in-law take Bai Dazhuang, Xiao Fuyuan and the others with them, while she would stay in the village.
If she were left alone in the village, others would definitely poke the white board and Zhen's back.
But don't be afraid, just let the second child's family stay and be filial to her on behalf of his son and daughter-in-law, and others will naturally stop gossiping.
When she saw Eugene Gui's eyes just now, she knew what she was thinking. Anyway, she was a troublemaker and she couldn't be allowed to go to the capital to cause trouble.
The emperor smiled and held little Fuyuan on his lap, pinched her tender little face, and coaxed softly: "Does Little Yuanbao like to play with A Zhen?"
Xiao Fuyuan looked at A Zhen sitting next to him, nodded vigorously and said, "I like brother A Zhen."
The emperor smiled and said, "Azhen will return to the capital in the future. Are you willing to go to the capital with him?"
The hearts of the Bai family were in their throats.
Bai Banban began to feel unhappy. What did the emperor mean by this? He began to deceive his daughter.
And He Shun, who was waiting on the side, almost burst into tears.
The emperor means that from now on the palace will belong to his young master.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at the white wooden board with a nervous expression, then looked at the emperor, and said: "I prefer grandma, father and mother, brother and sister-in-law. Wherever they are, I will be there."
The Bai family breathed a sigh of relief.
The white wooden board felt comfortable and drank two more glasses of wine in succession. If you want to fool my daughter, there is no way, not even the emperor.
The emperor laughed and said, "I have long heard that my cousin's little daughter is lively, smart and cute. It is true."
Bai Banban felt sour when he saw the emperor holding his daughter. He hadn't even held his daughter tonight.
The emperor relied on his status and hugged her twice.
Seeing her father's resentful eyes, Xiao Fuyuan slid off the emperor's lap and sat next to the white wooden board.
"Dad, please drink the hot soup." Xiao Fuyuan scooped up a small bowl of hangover soup and handed it to his father.
Bai Banban felt sweeter than eating honey, so he took the soup and drank it all in one go.
"My cousin-in-law has really raised a good daughter. Even I am jealous." The emperor said sincerely.
The emperor was indeed envious that his son was sitting next to him all night and was uncomfortable with a hand stove.
It’s better to be a daughter, who is caring to her father.
Thinking of his daughter who died young, he felt sad and jealous, and wished he could snatch little Fuyuan as his own daughter.
The white wooden board laughed, held Xiao Fuyuan on his lap, and said to the emperor with a big tongue: "Cousin of the emperor, you see I have so many sons, but let me tell you the truth, these boys are not as good as bunches together. My daughter weighs a lot."
Bai Dazhuang: "..."
Bai Erzhuang: "..."
Bai Panmei: "..."
As usual, when it comes to my daughter, the white board cannot stop the conversation.
"Your Majesty, do you know that even the emperor in the capital knows that my daughter has been given the title of village head..."
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were speechless.
Bai Banban realized that he had said something wrong. These words were words he used to praise his daughter to the villagers while drinking outside, but the person in front of him was the emperor.
The emperor laughed so hard that he almost spit out his rice, so he quickly drank a sip of wine to suppress it.
"I'm sorry, cousin of the emperor, I'm too excited. Well, it's only when I have a daughter that I realize how rough these brats are, and then I realize what an old father's little cotton-padded jacket is. My daughter knows how cold and hot I am, and she's considerate. With such a sensible girl, it's worth dying for me." Bai Banban smiled and turned on the talkative mode again. The more she looked at the girl under the lamp, the cuter she became, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she felt in her heart.
"By the way, Your Majesty, do you have a daughter?" Bai Banban asked.
He Shun was shocked.
Eunuch Hong, who happened to come in, was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
The emperor had a little princess who he loved so much that she died young.
Since the death of the little princess, the relationship between the emperor and the empress in the palace has deteriorated rapidly.
The little princess is the emperor's counterpart, something no one dares to mention.
This white wooden board is really, those who don’t know are fearless!
The emperor's expression turned gloomy for a moment, and he sighed and said, "I have a daughter who is as beautiful and clever as Xiao Yuanbao, but she was taken away by God. I am not as blessed as my cousin-in-law."
For a moment, the room was eerily quiet.
The Bai family didn't know how to react.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I... I didn't know..." The white-boarded man woke up from the wine and said calmly, "I touched your sadness."
He had never thought of mentioning the emperor's inverse scale, but was full of sympathy for the emperor.
So what if the emperor is the emperor? The emperor is also the father. It would be so sad if the daughter dies in infancy.
"It's okay." The emperor's expression calmed down in an instant, and he looked at Xiao Fuyuan and said, "If you feel sorry for me, cousin, please let me give your daughter a hug."
The white wooden board was a little reluctant, but still let go.
Little Fu Yuan ran to the emperor, took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, patted his heart, and said softly: "Cousin, don't be sad."
The emperor held Xiao Fuyuan with one hand and lifted A Zhen beside him onto his lap with the other hand.
One person held the two babies, rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's head with his chin, and then rubbed A Zhen's head.
A Zhen couldn't help but lean against the emperor's heart. Only then did he truly feel that his biological father was right in front of him, and his heart felt warm instantly.
