When the emperor stepped into the Qingsi Palace, Xie Ying was squatting on the ground, but fortunately, he caught the jade pendant, held it tightly in his arms, and gasped for breath.

King Chen had already bowed his hand first, "Your Majesty." ”

"Thank you!" The little eunuch hurriedly reminded.

Xie Ying also settled down, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with the jade pendant in her hand, "Concubine Xie Erniang of the Northwest Marquis Mansion to meet His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Get up!" The Emperor's voice was kind.

Only then did she stand up and quietly stuffed the jade pendant into her sleeve. King Chen immediately spoke: "Why did Daddy come over?" ”

Xie Ying secretly looked at him sideways, he heard the fifth brother talk about Daddy on weekdays, and he only thought that he was just to occasionally hide his identity in front of people, and now it seems that the relationship between their father and son is so good.

"On your birthday, you are allowed to let the lady of the Xie family enter the palace, and Daddy will not be able to come?" The Emperor laughed and sat down directly on the low stool just now.

"Xie Ying, come on!"

She didn't know why, so she hurriedly stepped forward and stood respectfully, "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at her, then frowned, and made a posture to reproach her, "Your father is not so restrained in my Jinluan Palace, so don't be restrained." ”

"Yes." She replied softly, came back to her senses and quickly stared at the emperor, with surprise in her eyes, "Huh? ”

Chen Wang walked up to her side and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, Daddy is very kind." ”

Xie Ying had no choice but to nod and sit down with a small step.

Looking at the emperor again, there was no shelf for the emperor's dignity at the moment, and a pair of hands covered with cocooned silk were turning over the charcoal basin.

The emperor didn't speak, King Chen didn't speak, and Xie Ying didn't know what to say.

After sitting for a while, the emperor smacked his lips, "Li Yuan, you have someone send some taro." ”

"Your Majesty wants to eat taro, so I'll let the chamberlain save on preparation." Li Yuan smiled and groaned, and the emperor's brows immediately frowned, "Raw, let them bring some raw!" ”

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and then heard the sound of "tsk" in the emperor's mouth, and hurriedly bowed down to do it.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, and Li Yuan also took everyone in the hall away, leaving only the three of them to sit.

Xie Ying's breathing became lighter and lighter, and she felt that she was going to suffocate in the next second. She knew in her heart that His Majesty and Daddy would look at her twice, but not too much, not to mention that she had caused trouble in the past two days.

It wasn't until the Emperor let out a long sigh that his hand fell on his forehead and rubbed it, "Finally there is a moment of purity!" ”

"Daddy." Xiao Ke coughed slightly, and his eyes signaled that Xie Ying was still there.

The emperor didn't pay attention to him at all, "Xie Ying, do you know why I want taro?" ”

Xie Ying's hand grabbed at the skirt, and after a while she said tentatively, "Your Majesty wants to eat roasted taro?" ”

"Look at how smart Mrs. Xie is!" The emperor laughed, and did not forget to raise his eyebrows with King Chen, as if showing off.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Xie Ying responded in a low voice.

She was wondering in her heart, there was such a pot of fire in the house, and roasting taro was the best, but why did the emperor suddenly praise her.

"Don't be restrained, today is Gorou's birthday, just in front of this is home." The Emperor said softly.

Xie Ying had no choice but to nod, and Xiao Ke hurriedly relieved him, "Daddy, you are the emperor after all, and Erniang doesn't dare to relax herself too much." ”

The emperor immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and the tenderness in his eyes was a little less, "Did you say that you restrained Xie Niangzi!" ”

Her pupils shrank, is the fifth brother taking the blame for His Majesty?

"Daddy is clearly you!" King Chen said in a low voice.

"Me?" The emperor's tone was shocked again, "If it weren't for me, Xie Yuan would be willing to let Xie Ying marry you?" ”

Xie Ying was fortunate to see the royal father and son arguing, and he didn't dare to speak when he sat on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty," Xie Ying said in a low voice, "It's the concubine who feels that she has been in trouble again in the past two days, which may make it difficult for Your Majesty." ”

Hearing Xie Ying's voice, the emperor immediately cast his gaze, "Rumors? ”

Xie Ying nodded slowly, not daring to look at the emperor's expression again.

"It's not a big deal, I can naturally trust you as a person." The emperor's tone was very relaxed, and Xie Ying's pupils shrank and he didn't dare to believe it too much.

The emperor looked at her solemnly again, "Your father is a person who was born and died with me, and I naturally can't be wrong about his children." ”

Xie Ying was also relieved, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

In fact, she is not very good at indulging her temperament in the palace.

As he was talking, Li Yuan brought the taro in, and when he saw the emperor reaching out to take it, Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Let the slave come!" ”

The emperor glared at him, and Li Yuan hurriedly withdrew.

Xie Ying watched the emperor throw the taro into the charcoal fire, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, His Majesty is quite comfortable doing these things.

"When I went south to fight with your father, there was nothing to eat on the march, so I ate roasted taro with him at that time."

"There are occasional taro in the winter military salary, no wonder Daddy has to roast and eat it every time. Other times, taro is rare in Liangzhou. Xie Ying took the emperor's words.

Listening to their words, Xiao Ke smiled lightly, because he knew that A-Niang was a southerner and liked to eat taro, and A-Dad also liked to eat taro. As long as Daddy thinks of Auntie, he will want to eat taro.

The Emperor picked up the iron tongs on the side and loosened them into the fire, "All right! ”

These taros are small and ripe quickly. Li Yuan came in quietly, wanting to wipe the ash off the taro, but the emperor didn't like it and wanted to wipe it on his clothes.

"Your Majesty, if it's dirty, you'll have to do it again!" Li Yuan hurriedly persuaded the emperor to throw the taro to him, "Just wipe it, we will peel it and eat it ourselves." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and did as the emperor instructed.

Before they could retreat, the emperor picked up a taro from the basket and threw it at Xie Ying, she quickly stretched out her hand to catch it in the air, the emperor laughed, and then peeled it off in his hand.

There was nothing to do with Xiao Ke in this whole process.

"Daddy." Xiao Ke sighed helplessly, Xie Ying looked at her when she heard the voice, quickly peeled off herself, and handed it to him with a smile, "Fifth brother, give!" ”

When the emperor looked at the two, he was a little relieved, and a picture flashed in his mind.

When the snow fell in Chang'an City, King Kang went to the hall of the widow Li, her taro was roasted, peeled one, and when she saw King Kang walk in, she hurriedly smiled and handed it forward, "Third brother, give!" ”

When the corners of his eyes were a little moist, the emperor quickly calmed down and pulled his face down, "You eat yours yourself, let him take it himself!" ”

Xiao Ke had to shrug his shoulders and go to the basket to pick up taro by himself.

"Daddy, I'm my own after all!"

"I have been friends with the Northwest Hou for many years, and I naturally regard Xie Niangzi as my daughter in my heart!"

"Anyway, it's not long before you're a royal person, isn't it okay for me to have an extra daughter?"

"There are five princes, but there are only two princesses, Huaiyang married early, and Pingcheng and I are not close......"

On that day, the emperor did not have any swagger, and his words were full of expectations and blessings for them. And the winter solstice pilgrimage will also follow......
