Chapter 252 The Emperor's Disdain

Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao had come this route together countless times, but before, he had come with Su Xiaoxiao.

Now he was going on an inspection tour with the emperor and his large entourage, and to be honest, Pei Yuan was really unhappy about it.

The whole journey was incredibly awkward.

Whose land is this?

The Emperor actually got out of the carriage and saw the field of sunflowers that Su Xiaoxiao had planted. It was a beautiful golden field.

At this time, Baihua Village was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms and the croaking of frogs.

Dragonflies hovered overhead in the fields; the place was far from desolate, and the scenery was quite pleasant.

The emperor looked at the land and asked the village headman beside him, "Whose land is this?"

Originally, Su Xiaoxiao did not want the village head to talk about this, but coincidentally the emperor came by, so how could the village head not speak up?
He quickly lowered his head and came over, replying softly, "Your Majesty, this land belongs to Su Xiaoxiao's family."

"Is that so? That's wonderful. If everyone could farm like Su Xiaoxiao, everything in the fields is managed so well."

Unexpectedly, the Emperor even praised Su Xiaoxiao, which made the village head very happy.

If you praise Su Xiaoxiao, isn't that the same as praising him?
The village head thought to himself, "Su Xiaoxiao really is born with a lucky charm constitution; good things always happen when you're around her."

"Your Majesty, you have been inspecting for quite some time now, why don't you come and rest at our house for a while?"

The village head suggested in a low voice.

The emperor nodded.

The village head hurried home to prepare, instructing the villagers on how to shout "Long live the Emperor!" and how to kowtow and pay their respects when they saw him.

There are many rules here, but training like this for a short period of time really doesn't have much effect.

When they arrived at the village head's house, they saw the shocked faces of the villagers. They knelt down with a thud, shocked and very excited, to pay their respects to the emperor.

Perhaps because they hadn't received any formal training, or perhaps because they were simply unable to calm their excited emotions, the shouts they uttered were all uneven.

"Get up!"

The emperor still had a smile on his face; he couldn't blame them for this.

"Village head, why aren't you inviting His Majesty in for a seat?"

It's noon now, and the sun is still so strong.

"Your Majesty, would you please come to our home to rest?"

When the village headman said that, the emperor naturally had to agree.

The village head led the emperor to his own courtyard. However, upon entering the courtyard, the emperor was nearly driven to despair by the sight of muddy ground and chicken and duck feathers floating on the ground. He was utterly disgusted.

The courtyard was filled with the sounds of chickens, ducks, and geese, which were deafening. The Emperor was quite surprised by the noise; he had never seen such a rural scene before and couldn't help but feel that the environment was so unpleasant to set foot in.

Magistrate Huang hadn't expected the village head's home to be in such poor condition. He kept glancing at him and said, "Your home is in such a sorry state. Didn't you know to tidy it up a bit before coming to welcome the Emperor?"

The village head was full of grievances. He thought to himself, "I don't have time to clean up. We usually keep so many chickens, ducks and geese at home. Even if I wanted to clean up, how could I possibly clean up?"
An awkward atmosphere permeated the air around everyone. Magistrate Huang hadn't expected the village head's home to be in such poor condition. What should he do? The women following the Emperor also dared not speak. They thought the Emperor would be angry. How could he possibly stay in such a terrible environment?
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly grabbed the magistrate Huang next to him.

“I know a place that is spacious and large; His Majesty will surely like it.”

"Where?"

"At Su Xiaoxiao's home in our village."

This really did remind the Emperor.

He had certainly been to Su Xiaoxiao's house. Compared to the village head's house, it was like heaven and earth.

The emperor is human too, and he craves comfort even more. This won't do. If he stays here any longer, he'll probably become depressed.

Su Xiaoxiao's house was really big and spacious, and everything in front of and behind the house was built in an orderly manner, which was truly a favorite of the emperor.

The Emperor had only been gone for a few months, but when he saw that Su Xiaoxiao's house had been renovated so beautifully, he was even more delighted.

The other palace maids had never seen Su Xiaoxiao's home before. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the Mona Lisa, a world-famous painting, hanging on the wall. There were also some antique vases on the table, and the two rows of tea tables and chairs were arranged in a very orderly manner.

This family is amazing! You can tell the homeowner has excellent taste, which shows that she truly has exceptional taste.

To the left of the entrance, you'll see a reception area with a large tea table set with teaware and various cups of different sizes.

This shows that the host family actually has pretty good taste. After Su Xiaoxiao invited them in, she asked the emperor and some important ministers to sit in the house. Of course, if she invited other people in, there wouldn't be enough room in the living room, so Su Xiaoxiao could only ask the important guests to sit down.

The others were very curious about Su Xiaoxiao's house, constantly looking it over. They had never seen such a beautiful house before. In fact, they had thought they had come to a place more beautiful than the palace. However, they could only think such thoughts in their hearts and must not say them out loud.

If he were to express his true thoughts, wouldn't he be accused of deceiving the emperor?

Su Xiaoxiao gets worried about the air quality in her home whenever she sees a lot of people.

In her previous life, she had been trained to be very particular about air quality. If the air quality was even slightly off, she would have to open all the windows in the room without an air purifier.

After the Emperor was seated, Su Xiaoxiao quickly served tea to the Emperor and his ministers. The Emperor looked at Su Xiaoxiao with great satisfaction.

"Did you farm land in three villages?"

"Well, I guess so, but I'm not some big landlord."

Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that others would misunderstand her, and she was also afraid that the emperor would misunderstand her.

The emperor burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"I didn't mean that. I was just saying that you are capable and therefore should do more work."

Su Xiaoxiao laughed. After handing the tea to the Emperor, she saw the imperial physician beside him using silver needles to test for poison.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh when she saw this scene. She had never seen the Emperor eat at their house before, and he even had to use silver needles to test for poison.

I never expected that this time, as the emperor, there would be so many more rules and regulations.
