”What do you want to ask? Ask away, I... I don't blame you. ” Emperor Qinghe looked at his son's eyes, and his heart felt soft and touched. This was his child. He wasn't surprised, nor was there any trace of pettiness in his eyes. Without a doubt, this was the Imperial Bloodline.

Wei Zhao pursed his lips and asked, ”Are you the old master of the emperor?”

Emperor Qinghu laughed loudly. ”It's the Emperor, but not the Old Master. You really are clever!” He winked at her, and his expression became lively. He leaned slightly towards Wei Zhao, taking a pose that said, ”I'm very familiar with you. We have our secrets. How did you find out?”

Wei Zhao glanced at his clothes, and Emperor Qinghe laughed loudly. ”You're really smart …”

Wei Zhao was embarrassed. Isn't this common sense? Is there a need to praise her like this? Could it be that this kind of common sense made him smart? Although the man in front of her was a bit exaggerated, he wasn't that annoying. Thus, she smiled and said, ”You're too kind.”

”Come, have a cup of tea.” As he spoke, he personally poured her a cup of tea.

Wei Zhao received it with both hands and thanked him, ”Thank you very much.”

”Do you know what sort of person the Emperor is?”

Wei Zhao held the teacup in his hand and nodded, ”I know, he's the one who can chop off anyone's head as he pleases.”

”Who told you that? How could that be possible?”

Wei Zhao tilted his head, ”Isn't it?”

”Of course not. How can we just chop down whoever we want?” ”The people of the world are all my people, and the people view me as their parents. Think about it, which family's parents would casually chop off their children's heads?” She looked at Wei Zhao with great sincerity as she cursed the emperor's intentions for giving her an explanation by a bastard. He'd have to kacha him when he found out.

The person who told Wei Zhao about the emperor beheading wasn't just anyone else, it was Old Master Wang.

Wei Zhao nodded and his expression relaxed as well. He smiled ingratiatingly at the emperor, ”Then I'm relieved.”

Qing He couldn't laugh anymore. He thought to himself, ”What's there to worry about? I won't be able to chop anyone off. If I do, won't I be cutting myself off?”

Emperor Qinghe's food was not extravagant. There were only eleven dishes. The quantity was not much, but the quality was excellent.

The eunuch placed the dishes on the table one by one and announced the names of the dishes as he spoke. Most of them were incomprehensible to Wei Zhao, who only heard the sound of shredded meat.

After confirming that her life wasn't in danger, she didn't feel nervous at all. She shifted her gaze from the emperor to the dishes on the dining table, so much so that even Emperor Qing didn't take the words' put the princess' chair next to me 'to heart.

For a time, there were twenty people in the imperial study, but only the sound of washing their hands could be heard. Wei Zhao noticed that all of the people who entered the study were eunuchs, not a single palace maid.

It was the Emperor who carried her to the chair again. Wei Zhao didn't express any opinion, but she could crawl on her own.

Wei Zhao had been taught how to eat etiquette. Back then, when she hadn't entered the academy, she had gone out to eat with her parents and had stood on a stool, commanding her parents to snatch it back for her.

After starving for most of the time, he only took a sip of water. Wei Zhao ate quite quickly, so Emperor Qing He helped her carry a lot of dishes like ordinary family members were carrying vegetables for their children.

The father and daughter pair had taken out more than half of the eleven dishes … Senior Officer Zheng's eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.

”You cooked well today. Ten taels of silver.” The eunuch in the kitchen thanked him immediately.

When the table was cleared, Qing He asked, ”Have you eaten well?”

Wei Zhao nodded his head in an extremely straightforward manner, his small, carved face full of sincere praise.

Emperor Qinghe smiled and asked, ”Our imperial chef can cook even more delicious dishes. Do you want to eat like this every day?”

He sounded like he was coaxing a child. The ordinary kidnappers didn't talk that much. At most, they would just buy some sweets. From this, it could be seen that the person in front of them was a big snitch.

Wei Zhao didn't fall for it, ”Do you have conditions?” Why do I have to eat delicious food every day? ” There was no such thing as a free lunch. She wasn't a fool.

Emperor Qinghu laughed in delight. ”What do you think?” Do you think that I have any conditions that you would agree to? ”

Wei Zhao also smiled sweetly and blinked his large eyes. ”That's why I asked you?” You won't ask, you idiot.

Emperor Qing then laughed loudly.

Wei Zhao was a bit at a loss for what to do, to be so happy while being treated like a fool.

Emperor Qing He had laughed enough. He stroked her hair and said, ”There's no need to negotiate. You are my daughter. You deserve the best treatment in the world.”
