New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When Xia Shi heard the servant's words, he crawled to the door. He had a premonition that the emperor was coming.

After all, according to the description, a large number of people came, and those people looked very respectful. He felt that except the emperor, no one else would come to his small temple.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the emperor and his entourage at the door, and he also heard Xiaoyanzi's somewhat disrespectful words.

He was so scared that he quickly scolded Xiaoyanzi, then ran to Xiaoyanzi and knelt before the emperor to pay his respects.

Just when Hongli was struggling over how to respond to the kid's words, he saw Xia Shi rushing over to greet him. He stood up straight, coughed twice and said, "Prefect Xia, there is no need to be polite. When you are out, you don't need to care about your status."

Xia Shi nodded repeatedly and invited the emperor and others to go into the house first.

Xiaoyanzi knew that her grandfather was afraid that she would be punished by the emperor, so she didn't get angry even when he scolded her. She just stood there and watched them talk.

Ziwei poked her head out from behind her and observed the situation.

Fulun, Fucha Fuheng, Ji Xiaolan and others were all delighted when they saw the cute and delicate appearance of the two little girls.

Hongli was about to step into the house, but he glanced at the two little kids, thought for a moment, and took their hands, one on the left and one on the right, and said, "Shall we go in together?"

A gentle voice, handsome face. Not to mention that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were already familiar with him, just by seeing how handsome he was, they were willing to follow him, hahahaha.

Of course, we can't judge a person by his appearance alone, it's just that they trust him.

"Are you really my father?"

Ziwei was holding the hand of her father. The warm big hand held her small hand, and the full sense of security made her feel as if her heart was filled with something sweet.

Hongli had just recognized who Ziwei was. Seeing that the shy little girl finally spoke, he smiled and said, "Yes, I am your father. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother. By the way, where is your mother?"

Pulling the two children and following Xia Shi's footsteps into Xia Mansion, Hongli suddenly realized where Yuhe had gone.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi looked at each other and secretly complained in their hearts, "Father, you just remembered mother?" You scumbag.

Xia Shi had the horses taken down to be fed grass, and also called the butler to greet the guards. He then took the emperor and several adults into the living room to rest.

Hearing the conversation between the emperor and Ziwei, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, Yuhe went to the street to buy things and will be back soon."

Hongli nodded, and Ziwei spoke again, "Mother will be back soon, we just need to wait."

The babyish voice makes people want to laugh.

Xiaoyanzi nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother will be here soon. Then you will know whether you are Ziwei's father or not."

Hearing Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi's sweet words, all the grown men couldn't help but laugh.

Xia Shi couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his body after listening to this, thinking that Xiaoyanzi was really aggressive. She really was worthy of being Zhihang's daughter, so casual.

After Hongli finished laughing, he raised his eyebrows when he heard Xiaoyanzi's words, "Xiaoyanzi, why do you call Yuhe mother?"

He had heard that the Xia family and the Xiao family were going to form an alliance, but he was not clear about the details.

Fulun was so fond of the cute little swallow that he saw her. When he saw Ziwei next to her, he liked her even more. Why were these two little girls so lovable?

He is much better than the two naughty boys in his house.

Xiaoyanzi raised her head and smiled proudly, "Humph, Ziwei and I fell in love at first sight. Oh, bah, that's wrong. We hit it off right away, so we became sworn sisters. She said she didn't know where her father was, so I gave her half of my father, and we are now a family.

In this way, she will have the protection and love of her father.

So, Ziwei and I both have two mothers. Ziwei has an extra father, I have an extra mother, and I also have an extra grandfather and grandmother. In a word, I have gained something."

Upon hearing this, Ziwei's heart, which was originally a little excited to see the Emperor, couldn't help but calm down. This guy was always so unexpected and could say something that moved and made her happy.

After hearing this, Hongli paused. Seeing that the two children walked too slowly, he stretched out his big hands and held the two children in his arms, one on the left and one on the right.

The two little kids who were picked up unexpectedly were startled, and then they felt their vision became wider and they became taller.

"So you two are sworn sisters. You have a really good relationship."

Hongli nodded, smiled and walked forward holding the two children.

After walking around the rockery and passing through pavilions and towers, we finally arrived at the reception room.

Along the way, the father and his two daughters kept talking to each other, which made the people following behind them couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, you really like these two children."

In the reception room, the emperor had just sat down on the seat of honor when Gu Qingyou was called out from her room to entertain the guests. She didn't expect that the emperor would really come to pick up Yuhe and Ziwei. She was surprised, happy and a little flustered for a moment.

As soon as he arrived at the reception room and saw so many people in the room, Gu Qingyou quickly knelt down to greet them.

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei in his arms. Seeing Yuhe's mother coming, he asked them to stand up with a little respect, as they were his father-in-law and mother-in-law after all.

Xia Shi and Gu Qingyou sat at the lower seats, with Fulun, Fucha Fuheng, Ji Xiaolan and others sitting in other seats.

"Master Xia, Madam Xia, I came to Hangzhou this time to bring Yuhe and Ziwei back to the palace."

Hongli waited for a while, and seeing that Yuhe had not come back yet, he took the initiative to speak and told her the purpose of his trip.

Xia Shi and Gu Qingyou looked at each other. They felt a little uneasy. They didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Yuhe and Ziwei to be taken to the palace. If they were taken back, what would their identities be?

"Forgive me for being rude, but I want to ask you one more question. When Yuhe was taken to the palace, what was her status?"

Xia Shi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't help it, so he knelt down and asked. He didn't want his daughter to be taken back to the palace for no reason and be bullied by others.

Fulun and others looked at this man in his fifties or sixties. They thought he was really courageous for questioning the emperor for the sake of his children.

Although Hongli was somewhat unhappy that Xia Shi took the initiative to ask about Yuhe's identity, he also knew that this was a father's love for his daughter, so he did not scold him.

He said in a deep voice, "I had already considered it when I came here. I will confer the title of Princess He on Xia Yuhe and Princess Mingzhu on Ziwei. After returning to the palace, they will be presented on the royal jade disc. We will discuss the specific matters after returning to the palace."

(In order to avoid the concubines' ranks being the same as those in other costume dramas that Baozi has watched, I use Xia Yuhe's name.)
