Seeing the young Emperor bluntly inquire about Xiaosuisui's background, Ji Youyuan couldn't help but look at Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui seemed somewhat uneasy, her small hands crossed and fidgeting.
"Suisui! Can you go play over there by yourself for a while?" Ji Youyuan asked, pointing to the other side of the Lotus Pond. "The lotus flowers are blooming beautifully over there. Could you help your uncle pick two to take back for your Eldest Aunt to cook with?"
You can cook with lotus flowers?
The little girl nodded vigorously. "Okay! Okay!"
The guard, who had been disarmed earlier, brought over a small boat and took Suisui to pick lotus flowers.
"Your Majesty, Suisui is not the biological child of myself and my wife, who is from the Wang Family. She is the child of my late sister and her husband!"
"What did you say? Xi'Er…" the young Emperor trailed off, his voice filled with disbelief.
