“Hmph! No matter how good they are, they are not your grandchildren. Look, brother likes them too! But if it’s our grandchildren, brother will be very fond of them.”

Jun Zixi was very envious, but what can she do? All she can do is wait to have grandchildren, but why do the three children look so familiar? She felt like she had seen them somewhere before.

“Pfft!” Mu Yunhan looked away and laughed at the two old couples. If these two learned that the children on the stage were their grandchildren, they would have so excited.

“Su Xin greets his majesty the emperor.” Su Xin greeted the emperor, not in a humble, nor despicable way. At the same time, Su Xin was holding a small bonsai with red-orange flowers in her hand.

“Good! Good!”

The Emperor repeated the word ‘good’ for two times.

“This child is even more beautiful, but what is in your hand?”

Obviously, the emperor also finds the bonsai in Su Xin’s hand interesting.

“This is a gift for his highness, it is called Marigold Maidenhair.”

“Haha…!” The Emperor laughed and said: “I’ve seen a lot of strange treasure, but I’ve never seen this Marigold Maidenhair.”

“Your highness, this Marigold Maidenhair’s flower bloom in sunrise and closed by the sunset. It brings happiness to the person who owns it.”

Su Xin said. And then, Li Gonggong, who was at standing at the side of the emperor, went down and carefully took the Marigold Maidenhair in Su Xin’s hands and present it to the emperor.

“Good! Xin’er, I will accept your gift. I hope this can bring me happiness just like you said.”

“It’s good that his highness like it.”

Su Xin smiled so sweetly. She deliberately brought this flower to dispel the emperor’s anger if he suddenly asks why their mother didn’t come.

Seeing the appointed time almost arrived, Su Xin felt relieved. Su Qi and Su Li naturally understood what’s on their sister’s mind. After the Emperor look for her, he might ask about their mother next.

“Imperial Father, the time of the tournament has arrived.”

Jun Lintian reminded the emperor. He was very uncomfortable that the three children grabbed all the limelight.

To be more precise, he was defeated by Su Li, so his heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Since the time has come, let’s get started!”

The Emperor was actually anxious to watch the tournament. After all, he had never seen a duel between children. Not to mention, the other party was only 5-years-old.

Su Li nodded his head to Su Qi. Su Qi immediately understood his brother’s meaning and took his sister down the stage.

“Big Brother, Xin’er is really exquisite and thoughtful. When she goes up, the emperor forgot to ask why sister-in-law didn’t come.”

Mu Yunhan said in a low voice that no one could hear.

“Go and bring Xin’er here. The heat is too much, she will be uncomfortable.”

“Big Brother, aren’t you afraid of mother to get suspicious? Or any of these people?”

“There is nothing to get suspicious about, Xin’er is so lovely, who doesn’t want to hug her? Just go!”

Mu Yunxuan doesn’t care about what other people think. He just wanted to hold his daughter.

At this time, Su Li and Ji Hong were both ready on the stage. They were just waiting for the drum to sound.

Coincidentally, Su Qi took Su Xin down near Mu Yunxuan’s place.

Mu Yunhan no longer needs to get up and bring Su Xin.

“Xin’er, Qi’er, don’t go down, just come and sit here.”

Mu Yunxuan smiled and waved his hand at them, which instantly attracted Jun Lintian and Jun Shaochen’s attention.

Mu Yunfeng also couldn’t help but frowned: Xuan’er… …?

Su Qi turned his head. When he saw all the chair was occupied and a woman was sitting next to their father. He suddenly became unhappy.

“Uncle, there is no place for us to seat. I think it’s still better to go back to our own place!”

After saying those words, he pulled Su Xin away. Su Xin looked at Mu Yunxuan sadly. In fact, she wants t to be with their father. He was exactly what she imagined, considerate, gentle, and most importantly, he loves her.
