After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 380 The Emperor’s Personal Visit

The little girl suddenly stretched out her hand, touched Xie Xingchuan's face, and said, "Can't a man cry? Don't they have anything to be unhappy about?"

"A man doesn't shed tears lightly. Even if he is sad and sad, he has to hold them back!" General Xie said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Niuniu tilted her head, looked at him, and said, "A man is different from others?"

General Xie nodded.

Niu Niu said: "Can't cry, can't laugh, can't make trouble? Can't we still eat?"

General Xie choked.

He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with him, otherwise why would he be arguing with a girl less than seven years old.

The little girl was still holding Xie Xingchuan at this time, and said with a worried look: "Brother, you can stop crying, but you must not stop eating!"

In the eyes of a little girl, eating is always a matter bigger than the sky.

Xie Xingchuan's original feeling of reluctance was suddenly diluted.

"Okay, brother, I promise you that no matter what big things happen, I will never forget to eat." Xie Xingchuan assured Niu Niu very seriously.

Even though he knew that the little girl was reluctant to leave, Xie Xingchuan finally walked to his father silently.

Xie Xingchuan and the Gu family had only been together for three months in total. Facing separation at this time, the Gu family was also very reluctant to leave.

"Grandpa, grandma, godfather, godmother, eldest brother, younger brother, dear baby."

This was the first time Xie Xingchuan said so many words in one breath.

Mrs. Gu wiped her tears and said, "He seems to be only thirteen years old. Why... why is he about to go to the battlefield..."

Although Xie Xingchuan is now taller than Gu Mingda, his age is there. Everyone can't understand why General Xie is so cruel and rushes his son to go to the battlefield at such a young age.

General Xie ignored these questions and stood on the street corner waiting for his son impatiently.

"Peace... keep peace..."

Father Gu suddenly extended a hand to Xie Xingchuan.

Xie Xingchuan held the old man's hand, but suddenly found something extra.

It is a peace wooden sign carved from wood, the size of a baby's palm.

"Take it, all the children in the Gu family have one, carved by your grandfather himself." Gu Mingda said.

Xie Xingchuan's heart softened, and he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in clouds.

General Xie coughed lightly at the corner of the street.

Xie Xingchuan knew that his father was urging him. He knelt down, kowtowed three times to the elders of the Gu family in a solemn manner, and then turned around and left carrying a large package.

The package was full of snacks originally prepared by the crazy girl for Niu Niu. Because Xie Xingchuan left suddenly and there was no time to prepare the things, Niu Niu generously gave her temporary snacks to him.

"Brother, you must come back safely, I'll be waiting for you at home!" Niu Niu shouted at Xie Xingchuan's leaving figure.

Xie Xingchuan turned around and nodded heavily to the little girl.

It wasn't until the figures of the father and son disappeared at the corner of the street that the Gu family walked back.

"I don't know why the war is so urgent that I can't even stay for one night and have to leave immediately." Zhang Yunniang said in a low voice.

Gu Mingda vaguely heard some rumors and said: "I heard something from my colleagues at the banquet today. It seems that the Binzhou water bandits are causing trouble and making life difficult for the people on the boats."

Zhang Yunniang immediately worried: "If this happens, wouldn't it be very dangerous? He is still a child..."

Gu Mingda patted his wife's shoulder reassuringly: "The Xie family has a strict upbringing. If you follow your father, you will not let him have any accidents."

If a father with a less ugly face had come to pick up his son, Gu Mingda would probably think that Xie Xingchuan went to the battlefield to get gold. But looking at General Xie's stern look now, I couldn't tell what it would be like on the battlefield.

Before the couple could figure out what happened with Xie Xingchuan, someone came from the palace.

The person who came was someone the couple did not reject at all.

"The humble minister Gu Mingda brought his family to pay homage to His Majesty." Gu Mingda did not expect that the emperor would personally come out to pick him up.

The emperor said casually: "Today I went out of the city to visit an old friend, and I happened to come over to take the child back."

The emperor's tone was as if Niu Niu was a child in the palace.

Gu Mingda felt uncomfortable, but the person he was facing was the emperor, and he couldn't resist at all.

"My dear, come back to the palace with me." The emperor stretched out his hand to Niu Niu.

Niu Niu looked back at her family, feeling full of reluctance.

Mrs. Gu also didn't expect that receiving the Queen Mother's decree today was not enough. The emperor actually came in person. At this time, the old lady was so frightened that her whole body was shaking.

"I want to have dinner at home. Grandma told me that she will cook my favorite dish tonight." Niuniu said.

The emperor asked casually: "What is your favorite dish?"

"Ginger cake." Niu Niu replied obediently.

Although the emperor loved Niu Niu, he was not the Queen Mother, and he did not always pay attention to Niu Niu's preferences like the Queen Mother, so this was the first time he heard about this.

Like everyone else, he frowned and said, "Why do you like to eat such strange things?"

When Gu Mingda heard this, he immediately said to the side: "Your Majesty, there is no distinction between high and low food in the world. The price is only determined by the difficulty of obtaining it. There are thousands of people with different tastes, and everyone has different tastes. Niuniu He has loved eating **** since he was a child. Ginger can activate blood and dispel cold, so the child has always been strong and rarely gets sick. "

The emperor glanced at Gu Mingda with a half-smile, and he could naturally tell that Gu Mingda was speaking to himself on the surface, but in fact he was trying to comfort Niu Niu that she was no different from other people.

In fact, this is also a vague accusation that the emperor should not say that the child is strange.

"Gu Aiqing, you have a fatherly heart." The emperor sighed, not caring about Gu Mingda's little thoughts.

Gu Mingda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The emperor was majestic. He had been impulsive just now and said those words. Fortunately, the emperor didn't care.

"There are also **** cakes in the palace. I will ask the imperial kitchen to arrange them for you." The emperor said.

Niu Niu shook her head: "It's different. It only tastes like home if it's made by family members."

The emperor frowned slightly.

Gu Mingda knew that he should persuade Niu Niu to be sensible at this time, but he couldn't say it.

His daughter entered the palace at such a young age. Even though the Queen Mother loved her, the palace was not as comfortable as at home. The little girl just wanted to have more meals at home. He really couldn't bear to make his daughter uncomfortable.

"Uncle Emperor, I really want to have dinner at home. After dinner, I will go back to the palace, okay?" Niu Niu begged.

Qian Rongsheng reminded in a low voice from the side: "Niuniu, His Majesty has made a special trip to pick you up. There are many things in the palace, so we can't delay. If we wait until the palace door is locked, we will be in trouble."

When the little girl heard this, she was so sad that she almost cried.

On the other hand, Mrs. Gu, who was shaking like chaff, hesitated again and again, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I will go to the kitchen to make gingerbread. Niuniu... you can take it with you to eat on the way..."

The emperor nodded slightly.

Niu Niu ran from the emperor's side to Zhang Yunniang's arms. Since returning to the palace was a foregone conclusion, the little girl just wanted to stay with her mother for a while longer.

There was no one around the emperor, and he felt a little disappointed. His eyes fell on Gu Zhao and Gu Yan, and he said, "Gu Aiqing, your two sons look very handsome, and they have your style."

Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged, but when Gu Zhao heard this, he opened his clear and innocent eyes, thought of some possibility with his not-so-smart little head, and said, "Does Your Majesty want me to enter the palace too? I can exchange with Niu Niu!”
