The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 116 Try your best to bring him back!
"Let's go in first. It's going to be windy outside." As soon as Emperor Jingyuan spoke, everyone went inside.

As soon as he entered, Xihe distributed the gifts he brought back to everyone. Even the servants in Fuhua Palace got a share. For a moment, the palace was filled with joy.

Concubine Chen even placed all of Xihe's favorite dishes in front of the little girl, and the small bowl in front of her was piled high.

Zhao Chengning took a bite of dried cabbage and said, "Mother, why didn't I get this treatment when I came back a month ago?"

Concubine Chen didn't even raise her head, she just concentrated on wiping her little daughter's mouth and said lightly, "You are already sixteen! Do you still want me to wipe your mouth?"

Zhao Chengning shuddered when he thought of that scene, and cried, "Mom, I was clearly talking about vegetables."

Xihe ate a lot before taking a break to catch her breath. After hearing this, she asked, "What did mother prepare for my brother when he came back?"

Zhao Chengning glanced at the dazzling array of dishes and said weakly, "A bowl of soup."

"Gone?"

"No more." Although it was far inferior to his sister's, Zhao Chengning did not feel dissatisfied at all. He thought of what the person who delivered the soup said, and his face became more cheerful. "But... that bowl of soup was made by my mother herself! You never thought of it!"

Since entering the palace, Concubine Chen has seldom cooked. She would only open the small kitchen when her two children were making a lot of noise.

"Wow, that's great~" Xihe clapped her hands in a very considerate manner.

Concubine Chen finally looked up at her silly son and asked, "I made it myself?"

When did she cook? How come she didn’t know it?
"Yes, mother, I am so touched..." Zhao Chengning was about to express his gratitude in a torrent of words, but was caught off guard by Concubine Chen's next words.

"Your Majesty took a sip and found it too unpalatable, so he asked me to send it to you." When she was in her own palace, Concubine Chen was too lazy to call herself "this palace" and always addressed herself as "you" or "me".

"..."

Zhao Chengning's smile froze on his lips, neither up nor down. After a long time, he slowly turned his head to look at Emperor Jingyuan who had remained silent, and asked in disbelief: "Father thought it was unpalatable, so...he gave it to me?"

Being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Emperor Jing Yuan felt embarrassed for the first time, but his expression remained unchanged, maintaining the dignity as a king and father. "I am concerned about your health. Although it tastes bad, it is good for your health."

Zhao Chengning listened quietly to Emperor Jingyuan's nonsense, then touched his face helplessly and looked at Concubine Chen, "Mother, just tell me, did you pick me up?"

He was given something that his father didn't drink! And it tasted so bad!
And he actually drank it happily.

"That's not the case." Concubine Chen smiled brightly, and before Zhao Chengning could show any joy, she immediately said, "You fell from the sky."

"Puff!" Xihe burst into laughter, his eyes full of joy looking at his beautiful mother.

Concubine Chen is usually dignified and serious, and rarely jokes. I didn't expect that she has the potential for dry humor.

"You might as well say that I was picked up." Zhao Chengning sighed depressedly, feeling disappointed.

Xihe quickly picked up a piece of braised lion's head that Zhao Chengning liked and said, "Brother, don't cry. Brother, eat it~"

Zhao Chengning was just putting on airs, and Xihe gave him a way out, so he backed down.

"My sister is always nice to me~" "Okay, let's eat." Perhaps because the scene was so warm, Emperor Jingyuan rarely had a cold face.

The meal was extremely joyful and the entire Vanity Palace was filled with laughter.

After returning, Xihe slept for several days in a row to gain weight. After waking up, he went to Mingyue Palace to find Xiao Mingxuan.

The former dynasty was also not idle. Half a month later, the affairs of Prince Anyuan were thoroughly investigated. The Minister of the Central Secretariat was ordered to draft an imperial edict and make it known to the world. The evidence of Prince Anyuan's treason was irrefutable, and his title was revoked. All nine clans were imprisoned. The Liu family was convicted of the same crime, but only three clans were imprisoned. In addition, before going to prison, Prince Anyuan's son bit out the involvement of Lord Yun, which angered Emperor Jingyuan and made him want to put the Yun family in jail. As a result, the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace cried, made a scene, and even hanged herself. She directly said that if the Yun family was imprisoned, she would hang herself, which made Emperor Jingyuan even more irritated, and the court suffered for several days.

When Xihe was called to Yuanyang Palace, he saw Liu Yuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Strange uncle~"

The files submitted to the Ministry of Justice for archiving did not mention Liu Yuan. It only said that it was discovered by someone sent by His Majesty. Xihe asked Zhao Chengning, and Zhao Chengning told her that this was the intention of Emperor Jingyuan.

"Little cub...little princess." Liu Yuan almost called out the name they used in Jiangnan, but now he was not in Jiangnan but in the imperial city, so he quickly changed the name.

In front of Emperor Jingyuan, Liu Yuan looked very serious, without any trace of laziness.

Xihe looked at him strangely and ran towards Emperor Jingyuan, "Dad, I'm here, is there anything to eat?"

Maybe it was because she ate too little in Jiangnan, but Xihe always felt hungry since she returned to the imperial city. The usual amount of food was not enough for her. But Concubine Chen was afraid that she would have indigestion, so her daily meals were strictly controlled. Xihe would sneak to Emperor Jingyuan's place every day to get cakes and pastries.

"Why are you hungry again? How can your little stomach hold so much?" Emperor Jingyuan knew that his little daughter had been able to eat a lot recently. He was not afraid of eating too much because he could afford to feed her. He was just afraid that eating too much would hurt her body.

"I'm just hungry. I don't know why. Maybe I haven't eaten for a long time?" Xihe didn't know what was going on, but she just loved to eat. Her appetite now was twice as much as before. "Don't worry, Daddy. Mom asked the imperial physician to check me out. I'm fine."

Hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're okay, it might be because you're growing stronger."

Xihe is already six and a half years old. She is no longer the skinny little girl she was at the beginning. She has lost some of her baby fat and is growing taller like a willow branch.

Sanping brought some pastries, and Xihe quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Sanping."

Sanping smiled and said, "Princess, you are too kind."

Xihe was busy eating when she glanced over and saw Su Zhongqian standing silently beside her. She immediately winked at him.

Su Zhongqian then bowed respectfully.

Emperor Jingyuan then said, "Liu Yuan, I didn't have your contribution recorded. Do you have any complaints?"

Liu Yuan lowered his head quickly, "I dare not. It is a great favor from the Emperor that I can return to the Imperial City alive. How dare I blame Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jingyuan showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes and nodded imperceptibly, "I have heard about your matter from them."

It was a coincidence that Xihe said it first. The next day, Zhao Chengning came to him and said it again. That afternoon, Xu Qingcheng asked for permission to enter the palace and said it again. That evening, Su Zhongqian submitted a secret memorial to the palace and said it again.

In just two days, Emperor Jingyuan heard the same thing four times, and his ears were covered with calluses.

Little did they know that they were all trying hard to lift Liu Yuan up and bring him back to the imperial city.
