Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In order to spend time with her daughter, Xiao Ran simply applied for leave and did not go to the morning court assembly. The Emperor allowed it. They naturally did not know if he agreed so readily because General Xiao had been separated from her flesh and blood for many years, or because of the huge food box Lord Shen brought next time.

It had been many years since the Emperor had eaten such delicious food. It should be said that ever since Gu Chang’an resigned from the imperial kitchen, he had disliked eating almost every meal.

He felt that Gu Chang’an should be blamed for this. He was so good at cooking, but he couldn’t teach a decent disciple. He even valued his wife over duty. He forgot about the Emperor after getting a wife.

Originally, he thought that after finding his daughter, that Gu would be able to return to the imperial kitchen without any distractions, right?

However, he changed his mind today. He felt that Ning Xiaoxiao seemed to have surpassed her master!

The Emperor, who was reading the memorandums, glanced at County Magistrate Shen. “Are the prawn dumplings really that delicious?”

County Magistrate Shen was sweating profusely and was hungry. He said without thinking, “Not only that, Ruyi buns, crystal prawn dumplings, Steamed Chinese Cabbage in Supreme Soup, Stuffed Yellow Croaker… All of them are the best delicacies. What a taste!” He couldn’t help but smack his lips. The Emperor asked with mixed feelings, “You’ve eaten before?”

County Magistrate Shen chuckled. “Of course. Two days ago, that girl just… Ahem, ahem, ahem. Your Highness, I’m telling you that I was indeed lucky enough to try it. I was wondering how a little girl like her could have so many wonderful ideas. I thought that it was right after knowing her background.” Many years ago, the Emperor had fantasized that Xiao Ran and Gu Chang’an would give him and Great Xia another brave and good general. In the future, the mother and son would dominate the battlefield and unify the country for him. Later on…

Now that he thought about it, it was actually not bad for a woman to take over her father’s business, right? He had given Ning Xiaoxiao too few rewards previously. Since she was Xiao Ran’s daughter, as the Emperor, he naturally had to keep his promise and compensate her well. Apart from gold, silver, and jewelry, it was not too much to give her the title of imperial chef, right?

After the three of them had their fill, the General’s Residence started to discuss establishing Xiaoxiao’s name. “We still have to find time to meet your other two parents. It’s all thanks to them taking care of you all these years.”

Xiaoxiao felt warm inside. They said “the other two parents”, which meant that the two of them did not object to her continuing to interact with the Ning Family.

“And your brothers. From what you said, they dote on you too. It’s all thanks to them that we can meet again like this.”

“Your brother is going to take the exam soon, right?”

Unexpectedly, her parents even thought of this. Xiaoxiao straightened her expression. Actually, she was about to tell her parents about this. “Father, Mother, can I…”

“The imperial decree has arrived—”

A call came from outside the door. Hearing this, Xiao Ran frowned and pursed her lips. “Tsk.” “Don’t let the Emperor cause trouble again and organize a banquet.”

She had guessed correctly. The Emperor was happy that the General’s Residence had found their long-lost daughter and planned to celebrate with a banquet. At the same time, he would reward this only daughter of the General’s Residence who had just returned.

If this matter happened to anyone else, it would be a huge honor. They would have to brag about it to others for a day. However, in the General’s Residence, Xiao Ran only found it time-consuming, laborious, and unpalatable.

“If only we had an excuse not to go.”

She suddenly clapped her hands. “Got it!”

The Emperor was originally happily waiting for his plan to be completed at the banquet, but he didn’t expect Xiao Ran to say that she wanted to take her daughter on a long trip! He had a straight face. In a court full of civil and military officials, who would dare to refute his good intentions like this?! However, she brought a letter for him. The beginning of the letter said-

“Junior Brother, I have a request.”

How many years had it been since she called him that?

Looking at the General’s Residence packing up the bags, Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, “Can it really work? It’s all said and done. His Majesty’s imperial edict is already here. Will he agree?”

Xiao Ran waved her hand nonchalantly. “Don’t worry. With my letter, he has to agree even if he doesn’t want to.”

As long as he saw the form of address junior brother, he would remember how she had given up her freedom to fight for Great Xia for him all these years. He would remember how much he owed Xiao Ran. How could he not agree?

As expected, the new imperial decree arrived before they could move everything into the carriage. It said that he could wait for them to return.

Xiaoxiao admired her mother so much that she wanted to prostrate herself on the ground. Xiao Ran smiled and said that it was alright, while Gu Chang’an went to check the items in the carriage. The General’s Residence’s style of doing things was probably to be swift and decisive. They had just made plans in the morning and set off in the afternoon.

There were only two carriages. One was for people, and the other was for things. The people driving the carriage and accompanying them were all guards of the General’s Residence. Many of them had once galloped on the battlefield with Xiao Ran.

Xiaoxiao looked at the various old injuries on their bodies and crawled back into the carriage to find a few bags of snacks for them.

Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, Brother Liu, do you want to eat?”

The few people who were called almost had tears in their eyes. They more or less had some terrifying injuries on their bodies. Ordinary children would immediately cry when they saw them, but not only did Miss not look at them strangely, but she even sent them food!

Look at this snack. It was fragrant and beautiful. It was made like a flower!

The heavens had finally let the general find Miss. Moreover, was Miss a fairy who had descended to the mortal world? How could she be so cute?! It was fine if she was good-looking and likable, but her personality was too warm!

Additionally, Miss’s culinary skills were also impressive. If she worked with Master, she could make people unable to stop eating even if they were cooking in the mountains!

The more Gu Chang’an looked at his daughter, the more he liked her. He had also taken in disciples to teach them culinary skills, but none of them could make inferences like his daughter. He even felt that Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills were better than his.contemporary romance

Xiao Ran only cared about the two people she loved the most in the world. She crossed her legs and looked at the sky. This was great.

Of course, she did not go to the Emperor’s banquet just because she found it annoying and the food disgusting. She knew that the Emperor’s banquet was not purely to celebrate.

In the Phoenix Palace, when they found out that the Emperor had actually agreed to Xiao Ran’s request to go on a long trip and postponed the imperial banquet, they were so angry that they smashed another set of good tea sets.

“This damn Xiao Ran!”

When a new palace maid saw this, she winked and went forward. “His Majesty is so obedient to General Xiao. Could it be that he…” She heard that His Majesty had been friends with General Xiao before he ascended the throne. Wasn’t it easiest for senior brothers, junior sisters, and junior brothers to fall in love over time?

The Empress’s expression suddenly turned cold. “Take her away and flog her to death.”

The palace maid was still immersed in the beautiful dream of becoming successful after successfully currying favor with the Empress. She did not expect to lose her life because of her quick tongue.

Who did she think she was? How dare she gossip in front of her? How could a b*tch like her comment on the Emperor?

Moreover, if the Emperor had designs on Xiao Ran, that married woman, where would she put her face as the Empress? She was spouting nonsense without knowing anything.

The Emperor was so tolerant of Xiao Ran because of her military power..
