Chapter 328 The Emperor Comes to Back Us Up

"How did you come?"

Su Xiaoxiao was extremely shocked to find that the Emperor, a very important figure, unexpectedly appeared at the welcome banquet she had prepared for her.

Everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up in a state of trepidation, genuinely afraid that they might inadvertently offend the Emperor.

The entire Su family, young and old, dared not raise their heads; almost everyone crawled and knelt on the ground. Many of them were seeing the Emperor for the first time in their lives.

So what does the emperor really look like?
Everyone was very curious, and all they heard was the sound of a very pleasant-sounding man.

"Please rise, everyone. This is Su Xiaoxiao's welcome banquet. Please don't stand on ceremony and sit down!"

Even after hearing this, everyone was still filled with fear.

Su Xiaoxiao politely went over and brought a chair for the Emperor, saying, "Please sit down!"

The emperor didn't stand on ceremony either; they used modern etiquette between them.

After the emperor took his seat, everyone else followed suit. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the emperor and realized that it was indeed the case.

No wonder everyone respects the emperor's imperial authority; he does indeed have a very dignified appearance. The yellow robe he wears perfectly accentuates the emperor's majesty.

Su Xiaoxiao complained inwardly, "It's a pity that this guy isn't a good person and doesn't have the ability to be an emperor."

At this moment, Xiao Tao, Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, who was kneeling on the ground, scanned back and forth between Su Xiaoxiao and the emperor. She found that the previous rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Su Xiaoxiao and the emperor did not seem to be unfounded.

There seems to be some ambiguity between these two, which Xiao Tao finds very puzzling.

Why is Su Xiaoxiao just a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside and a widow who has been married before? Both of these things make her seem unworthy of marrying a big shot like General Pei Yuan. This is something that many people can't quite understand.

Now even the emperor has taken a liking to Su Xiaoxiao. Have all the men in the world lost their minds?

"The Emperor's personal visit to our Su family is truly an honor for us."

Su Xiaoxiao's uncle and aunt were almost at a loss for words. They asked the emperor to take a seat and then offered him a toast.

The emperor pretended to be a little angry and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I heard that you married General Pei Yuan. Why didn't you send a single letter home?"

"Your Majesty is right to reprimand us. Our marriage was indeed a bit rushed, but there were reasons for it. Please forgive us, Your Majesty, and we will make it up to you later."

Only then did the emperor soften his attitude slightly, and a satisfied expression finally appeared on his face.

As the emperor, everyone was quite reserved when he came.

The emperor also noticed this, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I came here today to visit your home and see what the place where you grew up is like."

After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao understood and left the banquet with the emperor. Because they had stayed there for a long time, everyone had become very reserved. In fact, Su Xiaoxiao did not intend to stay at the banquet any longer and listen to her gossiping relatives.

"Then I'll just show the emperor around casually."

Su Xiaoxiao led the emperor to their family's back garden. To be honest, after her house was renovated, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't paid much attention to how it looked after the renovation; she was quite curious about it. Su Xiaoxiao went to the pond and picked a lotus flower, thinking it was quite beautiful.

The emperor followed behind Su Xiaoxiao, and looking at her, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He slowly walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "You looked so beautiful when you were picking lotus flowers. If I had a camera, I would definitely take a picture of you."

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the emperor was getting too close. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching, but she was still quite unhappy. She said to the emperor, "Let me tell you, if you have something to say, say it. Don't get so close. I just got married. Aren't you afraid of another scandal?"

"Rumors of an affair with the emperor, does she have a death wish?"

The emperor didn't hesitate at all; he walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and put his arms around her.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to refuse, the emperor picked her up in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"I told you, even if you get married, I will not give up on you."

The emperor's warm breath touched Su Xiaoxiao's face, making her feel somewhat physically uncomfortable.

"If you dare come any closer, I'll chop you up!"

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and stomped hard on the emperor's foot.

The emperor's face turned ashen, his pupils widened, and he whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, "How dare you be so rude to me in public? If others saw this, would you be alright?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and then said, "So what? What can you do to me?"

The emperor rubbed his feet and said, "Well, there's really nothing I can do to you."

Although he looked a little pitiful, Su Xiaoxiao didn't take him too seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite confident about this, believing that the emperor was just bluffing in front of her.

As Su Xiaoxiao expected, the emperor was not angry and would not punish her again.

Su Xiaoxiao broke free from the emperor's embrace. When the emperor was holding her, he had kissed the corner of her mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little angry, but what could she do? She couldn't kill or fight the person in front of her, so she could only endure it.

"Your Majesty, you have seen enough of the scenery. Please return!"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately gestured for the emperor to return to the palace, but the emperor still looked dissatisfied. It seems that the emperor is actually quite willful.

Even if the emperor is willful and capricious, he is still the supreme emperor in public. There was no other way but to compromise and leave with his entourage.

As Su Xiaoxiao watched the emperor's departing figure, she felt a complex and indescribable emotion.

Qian Musheng would come over to deliver orders to Su Xiaoxiao's shop every now and then. After Su Xiaoxiao went back, she didn't stay at her uncle and aunt's house any longer, but rushed back to Baihua Village without stopping. Su Lie and his grandfather Su Daqiang were very happy to see Su Xiaoxiao return.

The house was kept very clean by Su Lie and his grandfather, and the various flowers and plants in the small garden were growing well.

Su Xiaoxiao asked about the workshop, and Su Lie told her, "Sister Sun hasn't been in the workshop these past few days. She seems to have gone out on some business. Everything is normal in the workshop."
