Chapter 715: Emperor Uncle
"Grandmother, why does Uncle only look at my mother and not at me?" asked Xiao Xue, who was lying in Su Yaogeng’s arms, looking at the handsome man staring unblinkingly at Han Jing.
The little girl was a bit confused, as usually, she was more charming than her mother. Whoever it was, they would see her first before her mother!
Why was this uncle so different today, his eyes were so tender when looking at her mother, like they were about to drip water, yet he hadn’t glanced at her even once.
The little girl felt a bit unhappy.
Han Jing chuckled softly, turning her head and pointing to Xiao Xue, saying to Su Xingqiao, "Brother Qiao, look, that little girl is jealous now!"
Then she said to Xiao Xue, "Xiao Xue, call him Uncle."
Xiao Xue blinked and asked, "Is this the Emperor Uncle that Mother and Grandmother often tell me about?"
Han Jing nodded, "Yes, this is your Emperor Uncle."
Xiao Xue got out of Su Yaogeng’s arms and ran towards Su Xingqiao with short little legs, and Su Xingqiao quickly bent down to pick her up.
"Uncle, I am Xiao Xue." Xiao Xue’s love for handsome men was something that never changed, making her a so-called charming assassin. Any good-looking man almost never escaped her lethal moves: a smile and a cute charm.
Without exception, Su Xingqiao’s hard heart was instantly softened completely.
"Xiao Xue, dear, so cute." Although Su Xingqiao had been through many battles and served as Emperor for several years, reaching a state of composure, facing this charming little one, he was still at a loss for words, not knowing how to praise her.
It was as if none of the world’s greatest adjectives could describe her beauty.
"Are you hungry? Uncle, Uncle will have someone bring you food. The Imperial Household has contributed many beautiful pearl flowers; I don’t know if you’ll like them. I’ll have them all sent over, alright?" Su Xingqiao spoke softly and cautiously to Xiao Xue, as if afraid to startle her.
Xiao Xue, hugging Su Xingqiao’s neck, looked at him with big bright green eyes full of surprise, "Really? Are there any beautiful clothes? When Grandmother came to see me, she said many of the fabrics were sent by you. Uncle, can Xiao Xue have new clothes made? My mother doesn’t have time to make me new clothes!"
The little girl, while trying to get some benefits, didn’t forget to complain about her mother. Her mother was just too lazy and busy, all her clothes, pearl flowers, and whatnot were given to her when her grandmother visited her every year. Her mother had never given her a piece of clothing since she was born! Hmph!
Han Jing was speechless, wondering if this girl would always have to complain about her mother to anyone she met!
Su Xingqiao nodded non-stop, "Yes, Xiao Xue, whatever you want, we have it."
Then, without hesitation, he carried Xiao Xue to the door. When Su Yaogeng came in, the palace attendants had already retreated. Su Xingqiao carried Xiao Xue directly out and instructed the steward, "Go, pass on my orders: have the Imperial Household send top-quality fabrics, jewelry, and novel jewels all to Longyao Palace!"
The head eunuch was momentarily stunned, then quickly went to give the order. This was indeed strange, who was this little girl; the Emperor today was behaving very differently indeed?
Han Jing held her forehead, thinking that they were really not here to ask for things; could her daughter be any less ambitious?
