Chapter 308: The emperor incognito
The way Madam An was reacting was making all the people close to them curious and also surprised. It was just as Chi Lian had predicted and only her mother was not seeing the abnormality in the situation.
Since Madam Wang was being nice and friendly, Chi Lian brought Mei-Mei forward to greet her. She was her biological great grandmother after all so she was family.
"Mei-Mei, call great grandmother." She told her daughter.
Adorably, Mei-Mei parroted, "Great grandmother."
"Oh, how wonderful!!!" Madam Wang clapped her hands. "She can talk and her voice is so adorable." She reacted as if Mei-Mei was the first child in the universe to discover talking.
It was simply an overly exaggerated reaction. What happened next shocked the other guests even more.
"Old master Wang squatted down turned Mei-Mei around and ordered, "Call great grandfather."
Unlike his wife who had requested politely and gently, he was fierce as if he was ordering a soldier under training.
Mei-Mei reacted by crying and Chi Lian quickly scooped her up. As she was comforting her, she could hear Madam An scolding her husband.
"Why are you so fierce? She is just a baby, can’t you be gentle?" she asked.
"I didn’t mean to scare her." Her husband mumbled.
"Wang Shiqing, you old man, did you come here to scare my great granddaughter? And why are you asking her to call you great grandfather, are we related? Stop claiming my great grandchildren and ask your grandchildren to reproduce." Old master Jun shouted unhappily from a short distance away.
"Old Jun, you think you are so great because you have a great grandchild, it’s nothing special, children are born every day." Old master Tao launched himself into the conversation unnecessarily.
"If it’s not special, show me yours." The old master retorted.
Old master Tao reacted as if he had been stung by a bee and he said, "Do you think I won’t have my own great grandchildren soon? Let me tell you, little Tao has a girlfriend. Where is that girl that brought strawberry tarts for him, I am sure she is dating him. If I decide, he can be married by tomorrow and I will have great grandchildren next year."
The girl old master Tao was referring to was none other than the big chef who had recently become close to the foodie Tao Yichen.
"Then try it, your grandson is allergic to marriage, we all know it." Old master Jun answered.
Close by, minister Su and his close friend were watching the back and forth between old men as if it was entertainment.
"Tsk, tsk, and you claimed that this party would be boring." Minister Su’s friend said.
"Those two argue all the time; there is nothing new about this." Minister Su answered.
"Say, why do you think that prude old Wang came here today? He has the audacity to reject my invitation to the memorial ball and yet he can come to a Christmas party thrown by this little girl. Is he undermining my authority as the emperor?"
Minister Su hissed and looked around to see if anybody had heard the last words made by his friend.
"I thought you said you were going incognito, why are you mentioning who you are? Are you going to reveal your presence?"
"I don’t know," the emperor said with a smile, "There are new things to discover in this household all the time, like this soy milk. I thought you made a deal with her to provide me with a portion of every good thing she has but I have not received any soy beans. Also that horse and those cows....they are very strong and good looking animals." He said.
While the emperor’s words were simple, they were also carrying a hidden meaning. One always had to read in between the lines.
"She will not give up her cows, horse or any of her animals. However, the horse is female, and so are the cows. Rather than do things the hard way, provide a stallion and a few bulls then take some of the off spring. A tiger father begets a tiger son, I believe."
"As expected of my brilliant minister, you always have a way out for everything. Perhaps you should figure out a way to get my youngest brat to return home. Look at him over there declaring that he is going to live with the Chi’s forever. He has no loyalty at all, he is picking food and toys over his own father’s palace." The emperor answered.
"Ha-ha." Minister Su Laughed. "Children are young and innocent, he will return when he misses home for sure."
"I would drag him back by the ear but my parents have spoiled him so much that he throws one tantrum and they give in to his whims." He said with a shake of his head to express how unbelievable it was. "I still want to know why the Wang’s are here by the way. Find out before the night ends and report to me, I think I should get going, I have seen enough here."
The emperor stood up, preparing to leave and minister Su stood up to follow him.
At that moment, the parlor doors swung open and the maids and came in, carrying trays of food which were placed on the small tables that had been placed around.
Qi Qing whispered something to Chi Lian and she nodded. She then announced, "Excuse me, everyone, lunch has been served in here and in the dining room. It’s going to be served buffet style; everyone can serve themselves from the variety of dishes we have provided.
Anybody that cannot serve themselves is free to request for the help of one of our many servers. I hope you enjoy the meals we have prepared."
Before she even finished announcing, some people were already reaching for plates so that they could quickly serve themselves food. The mouthwatering smells emanating from the trays and dishes were irresistible.
Of course, ninety percent of the food and ingredients used today came from the virtual farm.
"I think I am going to stay around for a while, it would be rude of me to exit while lunch is being served." The emperor suddenly changed his mind.
"Yes your highness." Minister Su replied and smiled secretly.
The emperor was staying for food, just like his youngest son.
