Chapter 306 Taking the Opportunity to Confess
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't stop smiling; she was just happy.

Bei Yan noticed Su Xiaoxiao's happiness and asked her with great confusion, "Madam, where have you been? You haven't returned to the General's Mansion for so long?"

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him, instead turning around to hug Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and said to them, "Did the teacher assign you any tasks today? Hurry up and go to the study to read. Do you hear me?"

"Mommy, we've been such good children. We just finished reading, so let us go play in the yard for a while!"

“No, Bei Yan will watch them go to study.”

Da Bao and Xiao Bao looked very disappointed. They looked at Su Xiaoxiao and pleaded pitifully, "Then we won't go to play in the yard. Mom, please stay with us. You're never home. We miss you so much!"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard the two children say that, her heart softened suddenly. She thought about how she had been busy these past few days, either robbing the rich to help the poor or running to Qian Musheng's place, and it seemed like she really hadn't had much time to spend with the two children.

Su Xiaoxiao came over and patted Da Bao and Xiao Bao's heads, then kissed the two darlings on the cheek and said, "Good children, be good. I'm not worried that you'll waste time playing in the yard, but I'm afraid that bad woman will come and harass you, you know? Now that your father isn't at home, we mothers have to be very careful in everything we do."

The two children listened obediently to Su Xiaoxiao's words, nodding quickly and saying together, "Mom, we promise we won't run around anymore. Yes, we will definitely listen to you and just study hard in the study."

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao's heart softened completely. She stroked Da Bao and Xiao Bao's messy hair and said, "Be good, good children. From now on, Mommy promises to make time to come and play with you every day. But you also need to study hard, understand?"

Da Bao and Xiao Bao both obediently agreed. Indeed, they listened to Su Xiaoxiao very well, and no matter what Su Xiaoxiao said to them, she would always get a very positive response.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy about this, at least the children were still obedient.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was always worried that her two children would be persecuted by Madam Zhao if she wasn't careful.

So now that Pei Yuan isn't home, Su Xiaoxiao keeps a close eye on the two children.

"Madam, where have you been? I just heard from the servants that you had another conflict with Madam Zhao?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought of Madam Zhao's mouth with a missing front tooth and immediately found it very funny.

He couldn't help but laugh so hard he bent over, "Haha..."

Bei Yan was baffled by Su Xiaoxiao's laughter.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao finished showering and was about to rest that evening, she suddenly saw a person appear on the wall.

Su Xiaoxiao knew that this person knew martial arts and was skilled in light footwork.

Suddenly, I started to feel nervous.

"Who are you?"

"Good guy."

The voice sounded familiar, and Su Xiaoxiao lowered her guard upon hearing it. It was him.

Sure enough, the emperor who had traveled through time was sitting on the wall with his knees bent, one leg dangling down and swinging leisurely.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Long time no see. You've come to the capital, but you're not the first one to come see me. That's not very nice of you!"

Seeing that no one was around, Su Xiaoxiao stopped paying attention to the Emperor.

"You're always appearing and disappearing here like a ghost, not going back to the palace to sleep in the middle of the night. Are you perhaps too scared to go back because of the beauties in the harem?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke bluntly, and immediately noticed the emperor's worried expression.

"Well, you guessed right."

"Since you know my predicament, you still mock me. You truly have a terrible conscience!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Speak properly, don't act all high and mighty in front of me. Don't keep calling me 'I, the Emperor' all the time. Be careful I don't tell anyone that you're an imposter!"

The emperor then bent down and jumped down from the wall, showing that he still cared about the matter.

Su Xiaoxiao thought she had him figured out, but he nonchalantly replied, "Heh, go ahead and say it, let's see if anyone believes you." Su Xiaoxiao fell silent.

"You've been in the capital for a few days now, haven't you gone to the palace to see me?"

The Emperor said to Su Xiaoxiao, "It seems you really are quite willful. Aren't you going to come and see me? You haven't come to see me for so long, don't you miss me?"

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. She immediately rolled her eyes at the emperor in front of her.

I don't miss you.

Whether it's Su Xiaoxiao or anyone else, people would still feel that the Emperor's words were somewhat flirtatious towards Su Xiaoxiao.

It seemed like there was some kind of relationship between them, but Su Xiaoxiao knew that there was actually nothing between them.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and looked the emperor up and down. "What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything. Since you're not coming to see me, I'll just come and see you on my own initiative."

Listening to the Emperor's frivolous words, Su Xiaoxiao felt that something was off about them; the two seemed like lovers.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned deeply. "Are you perhaps suffering from some kind of delusional disorder? Don't think you've transmigrated and developed a mental illness. Are you out of your mind?"

With no one around, Su Xiaoxiao did indeed speak rather recklessly.

However, the Emperor was not angry at all and continued to tease Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. She heard the emperor suddenly say to her with deep affection, "Xiaoxiao, do you know? You have always been the woman I care about most in my heart!"

"cut!"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her.

"I think you've gotten too big for your britches. Tell me quickly, what brings you here?"

Su Xiaoxiao now felt an intense dislike for the emperor; he was constantly bothering her. She disliked him even more than before. "I'd like a cup of tea," she said.

"I don't have any tea leaves here."

Su Xiaoxiao said slowly.

"It's alright if you don't have tea leaves, I brought some for you."

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the emperor was carrying some tea leaves with him as he approached. "Go and brew some for me!"

It was truly frustrating; Su Xiaoxiao had no other choice but to brew the tea that the emperor had brought.

What else can we do? If we start arguing with the maids and servants, wouldn't that be even worse?
Su Xiaoxiao brought over the tea and saw the emperor looking at her from all sides as if he didn't recognize her.

"Hey, why do I feel like you've gotten a bit fairer? It really is the air in the capital that's good for you."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly and said, "It has nothing to do with the air. Maybe it's because Pei Yuan and I went back to his house together and spent a lot of time together that it was more nourishing!"

The emperor was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).

"Okay, I heard you're getting married?"

"Yeah, you'll be coming to the wedding banquet then?"

Su Xiaoxiao was being polite, but upon reflection, it seemed unlikely.
