Chapter 280 Dilemma
Chapter 280 Dilemma
After hearing this, Xu Weiwei was extremely flattered, and couldn't help but wonder if the emperor was against their family and was deliberately praising them to death.
Gifts from people of higher status than oneself must be opened on the spot. With the help of the housekeeper, Xu Weiwei opened the two boxes separately.
Inside one of them was a fan, small and cute, with a luster like that of Hetian jade. It looked like the tooth of some animal, and it was carved with plum blossoms in a simple manner.
"It was carved by Sofia herself. Several of them were broken, and this is the best one." Odu II said with a smile.
Xu Weiwei looked at the girl next to the emperor and said, "Thank you, Sister Sophia. She is very beautiful. I like her very much."
Sophia pursed her lips and smiled slightly, possessing the dignity of a royal family at such a young age.
Xu Weiwei continued to dismantle it, and the remaining one belonged to the emperor. The other party must be very generous, so what could it be?
To everyone's surprise, the gift prepared by the emperor was not jewelry, not jewels, nor toys, but a bundle of paper, card-like things.
Xu Weiwei untied the ribbon on it, picked up one and turned it over and over to examine it. Others around her couldn't help but pay attention to it, and were stunned after seeing the words on it.
It turned out to be a stack of visiting letters with the royal seal on them. With them, one could freely enter and leave the palace. The letters were written in the visitor's voice, with only the date column left blank.
Xu Weiwei flipped through it and saw that there were a dozen of them, roughly estimated to be eleven or twelve.
"Weier has never been to the palace to play, right? Your father never brings you to every banquet, only your three brothers. He is too partial. Now you can come by yourself."
Siphos clenched his fists and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"There are lots of delicious food and fun things in the palace, and there are also children of your age. It doesn't matter if you don't know the way. Just call them and the guards will come to pick you up in a pumpkin carriage."
"Really? Pumpkin carriage?" Xu Weiwei asked in surprise.
"Hahaha! Of course." Odu II laughed heartily. He knew that no girl could resist the temptation of the pumpkin carriage. But he didn't expect Xu Weiwei's next sentence to leave him speechless.
"Is it a real carriage? Can it be driven on the road? What's the speed? It would be very slow to run from the palace to here and back again."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The people of the Sifos family were okay, as they had already gotten used to Xu Weiwei's different way of thinking. However, Odu II and Sophia were severely shocked.
Seeing the emperor's mouth slightly open and unable to speak, the old man quickly came to the rescue: "She, she was joking, haha, this child is quite humorous."
The three children who knew the truth glanced at him silently: Humor? Haha, does this word have anything to do with my sister? Grandpa, you are really humorous.
Aodu didn't think much about it and went down the stairs. "I see, haha... The emperor's carriage is not an ordinary pumpkin carriage. It runs very fast. Anyway, come and play with Sofia more often. When you run out of visiting letters, I'll print more for you."
Xu nodded slightly: "Well, thank you uncle."
"You're welcome." Aodu smiled and touched Xu Weiwei's head.
Sifos cursed him in his heart for being shameless. He thought that he was done with just a few worthless pieces of paper. He made it seem like they were so insignificant. He couldn't avoid them, but he let Wei'er get close to him... He was dreaming.
Sifos made up his mind to throw away the pile of waste paper.
The butler put the things away and took them away. After saying some polite words like thank you, Sifos began to hold Xu Weiwei's hand and cut the cake.
Generally speaking, this step is just a symbolic cut, and the chef will divide it later. But Odu II suddenly came up with an idea and asked, "Who should Wei'er give the first piece of cake to?"
Seeing Odu's malicious smile, Sifos was furious. He wanted to push the emperor's head onto the cake tower: Who should I give it to? To Beta! How old are you? How dare you ask this question here? It's like you've never eaten cake before...
Sifos glanced at his daughter, ready to help her out at any time. But Xu Weiwei was only stunned for a moment before quickly thinking of a solution.
"Uncle Emperor, eat first."
"Oh? Why not give it to grandpa and grandma or mom and dad first? In Wei'er's heart, the uncle she met for the first time is more important?" Although Odu II was happy in his heart, he quickly laid another trap.
Sifos could no longer bear it, so he suppressed his voice and gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough, do you have any shame? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Xu Weiwei patted her father's chest with her little hand, turned to Aodu II and said, "Weier knows that grandpa and grandma think the same way. Uncle and sister Sofia are distinguished guests and should eat first. And Weier has many opportunities to take care of grandpa and grandma, so there is no need to worry about this moment."
Aodu showed some admiration in his eyes, and said to the Secretary General behind him: "Did you hear that? It's terrible."
The secretary general agreed without changing his expression: "Yes, Miss Wei'er is amazingly smart."
"Hahaha! I want to see what's in this little head. Come, let uncle hug you~" Aodu took half a step forward and stretched out his hands towards Xu Weiwei.
However, after pulling it up, it didn't come out. Odu looked at Sifos.
Sifos remained indifferent until he was kicked from behind and reluctantly let go. He watched his precious daughter being taken away and was not returned until an hour later.
Odu looked in a good mood, and left with his daughter Princess Sofia in a low-key manner.
"Weier, what did that weird uncle say to you? Why did you talk for so long? He didn't bully you, did he?" Sifos asked nervously.
"What are you talking about? How could His Majesty do such a thing? Besides, weren't we all watching from a distance? Darling, tell Grandpa what you talked about?"
Xu Weiwei thought for a moment and said, "Well, we just chatted casually. He told me to go to the Royal Botanic Gardens more often to see if I could find anything else. He also asked about my hobbies, favorite movies, games, etc. Oh, and he told me a lot about his time at Dawn University with my dad."
"He said his things were always lost, draft papers, books, half-drunk drinks... Later I found out that they were stolen by classmates and sold to admirers."
"They also said that a girl sneaked into the locker room while dad was changing clothes and locked the two of them together." Xu Weiwei covered her mouth with her hands, and her exposed eyes smiled cunningly, like a little fox.
Kane, Ryan and Ryan all had an "Oh~~~" expression.
"Uncle also said..."
"That's enough." Sifos quickly covered his daughter's mouth and glanced at his wife secretly.
"He's talking nonsense. Don't associate with him anymore. There's no benefit. We don't care about that shabby garden. If you want to see what Daddy plants for you, understand?"
"Oh." Xu blinked slightly.
