Lulu was awoken by the aroma of the food.
When she opened her eyes, she saw taozhi standing at the head of the bed with a bowl of hot wonton.
She even looked at the maidservant of the Xia family with a smug look.
“This servant said it, our family’s young lady does not need to think of ways to coax. She just had to serve a bowl of delicious food, and she would get up in a hurry. I definitely won’t let this bowl of wonton go to waste.” Peach branch’s move was very effective.
“Miss Lulu, you’re so good at serving me. Why can’t the young master throw a tantrum every day when he goes to the Academy? Even the servants are afraid.” The young master was the only son of the first wife of the third branch and was currently studying at the Imperial College.
At this moment, the peach branch was helping Lulu wash up deftly. It was as soft as a clay figurine.
Her face was red from her sleep and she looked like she was about to wake up. She looked particularly silly and cute.
When Madam Xia led her out, she still looked drowsy. However, she was still very clear-headed when she had her breakfast this morning!
first uncle, second uncle, third uncle, maternal grandfather … A soft and sweet voice sounded.
His first uncle was an official in the court, his second uncle was a businessman, and his third uncle was a master full of talent.
But he was a famous person in the capital.
Her three uncles were shocked to see her sharp-tongued, clear-eyed, and dainty appearance.
They knew that the younger sister had a difficult labor, and the younger daughter was extremely slow-witted.
But when he went to huangdu, he became more clear-headed.
They only thought that it was slightly normal.
He was such an outstanding child.
“Good, good child. Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.” First uncle’s heart was about to melt. His daughter was dignified and virtuous, like a little adult since she was young.
Now that he saw his soft and adorable niece, how could he not be soft-hearted?
“Lulu will follow uncle.” Young Lulu looked up with a look of dependence.
Old master Xia looked at her, then at her again. Lulu understood what he meant and walked to her grandfather.
He got into the same carriage as his grandfather.
I have some grudges with His Highness. His Highness will probably ignore me when I bow, so it doesn’t matter if I kneel for a while longer. Her grandfather put a soft cloth on her knees.
It’s winter, don’t freeze.
They were used to kneeling, but Lulu’s body was weak and fragile, so they couldn’t do that.
“I know, grandfather. Lulu will be obedient and won’t run around or provoke him. When I see him, I’ll also bow properly and definitely won’t offend him.” Young Lulu sat up straight and promised like an adult.
His first uncle laughed as he watched.
He touched the thick cotton cloth on his knees, not feeling guilty at all.
The group of people took the lead and arrived at the palace gate. At this moment, there were already many ministers standing in front of the palace gate. Lord yang Cong led his wife and children, old master Wen led Wen ruyin, the Zheng family and some other forces.
Everyone got off the carriage and exchanged a few words. Not long after, they heard a eunuch come out of the palace gate to report.
“His Majesty understands the intentions of all of you, but His Majesty has caught a cold today and will not summon all of you. We’ll enter the palace together at the New Year’s banquet.” The head eunuch’s voice was shrill, and the other officials thanked the Emperor without any airs.
“Next, let’s go to the eastern Palace to thank him.” Sir yang took a deep breath. What came next was the main event.
Everyone had already guessed that His Majesty would not meet them.
No matter if it was because he was in a half-opposing state with the Crown Prince or what, everyone guessed that he would not meet.
The crowd was not disappointed and went to the eastern Palace together.
“Sir Zheng’s carriage is heading to the first Prince’s residence.” Her first uncle lifted the curtain and looked outside..
