Yu Siqiao rarely acted so docile, appearing quite obedient.
The two little ones crawled around him on each side, pulling at his clothes and tugging his hair, constantly chattering.
The Emperor watched, feeling both pleased and envious, took a sip, then placed his teacup back, saying, "A reward."
Granpa Shen had prepared in advance. Soon, a little eunuch brought over a sandalwood tray, with a layer of red velvet padding on it, upon which sat a box.
Granpa Shen opened the box and presented it with both hands to the Emperor.
The Emperor took out the contents, a pair of Jade Pendants.
Exquisite Red Jade, warm and translucent, carved into a pair of dragons and phoenixes.
The craftsmanship was intricate, vivid and lifelike.
As soon as the Emperor picked them up, Mo Shu and Yu Siqiao seed dazzled.
In her lifetis, Mo Shu had seen countless treasures, but even she couldn’t help but be amazed by such a Jade Pendant.
The Emperor held the pair of Jade Pendants in his palm, seemingly reluctant, his face full of pain, saying, "These are treasures I’ve collected for years!"
Mo Shu looked at them, already extending her hand, cheerfully saying, "Thank you, Father Emperor!"
The Emperor’s heart suddenly pained more.
He glanced at Mo Shu and gave Yu Siqiao a fierce glare beside her, saying "Hmph!"
Reluctantly handing out one to each, Mo Shu received hers with a start.
The Jade Pendant was warm in her hand, the temperature just right, feeling very comfortable in her palm.
And the Emperor had barely touched it for more than a minute, it couldn’t have ward just from him.
Mo Shu exclaid in surprise, "Father Emperor, is this warm jade?"
The Emperor replied, "Ignorant, this is the best piece of jade mined from the underground veins of Xiliang, warm in winter and cool in sumr, wearing it year-round not only strengthens the body but extends longevity."
Mo Shu couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "You actually believe that?"
The Emperor snorted lightly, "Wear it and you’ll see," glaring at Yu Siqiao, "Lucky you, rascal!"
Yu Siqiao, having benefited, acted very obediently, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."
Both little ones curiously looked over, their eyes fixed on the Jade Pendant in his hand.
Little Honey Pot reached out a little hand, Little Tangguan was not to be outdone, each brother holding onto the Red Jade Pendant.
Yu Siqiao gently lowered the Jade Pendant for them to see.
Little Tangguan and Little Honey Pot watched for a while, then lost interest, rubbing against Yu Siqiao, wanting to be held.
The Emperor felt even more bothered, calling out, "Where’s breakfast?"
Granpa Shen coughed lightly, saying, "Coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, Granpa Shen’s face lit up, "It’s here."
Mo Shu looked over and indeed, the dishes were quite abundant.
But she dared not say that they had already eaten, so silently accompanied them.
Breakfast ca quickly, the little ones nestled in Yu Siqiao’s arms, the big one and the little ones playing happily.
The Emperor secretly envied, saying, "Still not eating?"
Yu Siqiao replied, "Yes."
Yet as he spoke, he took the small bowl beside him and served so corn juice.
Yu Siqiao fed each of the two little ones a spoonful at a ti.
The Emperor felt even more envious, saying, "You are the new son-in-law, of humble origin, in the future you must learn palace etiquette, acting as casually as today doesn’t adhere to the rules."
