In the afternoon, Shen Wan returned to the General's Mansion in a carriage.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Butler Yun at the door said that the emperor was here and was waiting for her in the study, and asked her to go directly to the study.
"Why did the emperor come to me?"
Shen Wan was a little puzzled, but she went directly to the study.
"Giggle..." As soon as she reached the door of the study, Shen Wan heard her son's unique laughter. Why was her son here too?
Shen Wan entered the study and saw the emperor holding her son in his arms, making her son very happy with a dragon-patterned jade pendant! "My wife pays homage to the emperor."
Shen Wan bowed her knees and saluted.
Xuanyuan Yu's hands were not empty, so he only said to her: "Mrs. Song, no courtesy."
Shen Wan straightened up, looked at Song Heng and asked him what was going on?
Why did you bring Zian here?
Song Heng glanced at the emperor and indicated that it was the emperor who asked Zian to be brought here.
After the emperor entered the study, he said he wanted to see Zian, so Song Heng asked Dongmei to carry him over.
"Ah..." Xiao Zi'an saw his mother and lost interest in Xuanyuan Yu's jade pendant. He opened his hand to his mother to hug her.
"Your Majesty, please give your son to your wife!"
Shen Wan walked up and stretched out her hands.
Xuanyuan Yu reluctantly handed the white, tender and milky boy An into Shen Wan's hands with some reluctance.
Although Xuanyuan Yu was also a father, when his little princess and little prince were as young as Xiao An, due to busy government affairs, he had never hugged them a few times, let alone played with them.
Moreover, the two children had been afraid of him since they were little. When they were babies, he would cry whenever he hugged them.
Unlike the youngest son of the Song Heng family, he was so courageous that he didn't cry when he saw him and even giggled at him.
I clapped my hands to hug him, so he stretched out his arms to hug me.
"Here, take it."
Xuanyuan Yu handed the dragon pattern jade pendant to the boy An.
With his small white hands, Xiao Zi'an grabbed the jade pendant that he had been unable to catch for a long time, and stuffed the jade pendant into his mouth with his round eyes wide open.
"My little ancestor can't eat it."
Shen Wan grabbed her son's little arm.
"Ahhhhh..." Xiao Zi'an stared and pursed his lips, as if talking to his mother.
Shen Wan pulled the jade pendant out of her son's hand and said, "I don't understand your baby talk."
This kid has already eaten meat, but his mouth is still so greedy that he puts everything in his mouth.
Watching other people eat makes me drool a lot.
"Huhu..." The boy An flattened his mouth, looking like he was about to cry, and reached out to grab the jade pendant in his mother's hand.
Shen Wan ignored him, looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this jade pendant is too valuable for children to play with. Please take it back!"
Xuanyuan Yu said with a smile: "I like this child very much. This is the first time I see him, so this is my meeting gift to him!"
Hearing this, Shen Wan could only smile, knelt down and said, "Then I will thank the emperor on behalf of Zi An."
Although this jade pendant is said to be a gift from the emperor, it is engraved with dragon patterns. Boy An will not be able to wear it in the future, so he can only keep it well.
Shen Wan put the jade pendant away and asked Dongmei to carry the boy in her arms.
"I came here specifically to see you, Mrs. Song."
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Shen Wan and asked: "Why did Mrs. Song suddenly think of recruiting soldiers who retired due to injuries and the families of soldiers who died in the war to work?"
Shen Wan organized her words in her mind and said truthfully: "I heard that my general sold off his property and property and gave it all to the families of his soldiers who were retired due to injury or died in the war. I also know that their lives are difficult.
Thinking of the sacrifices made by those soldiers to the people and the country, I wanted to do something for them to make their lives easier.
It just so happened that I was short of people when the factory under my control was being expanded, so I decided to recruit them to work so that they could earn generous wages with their own hands.
I think this can also improve their self-confidence and lead a more positive life."
