【Rebirth】Emperor's favorite

Shao Zimu originally thought that his father just wanted to punish Shao Zixiao for "running away from home", and he would be fine after kneeling for a few hours, so he has been kneeling with his younger brother in the ancestral hall.

But one day and one night passed, and he was a martial arts practitioner after all, so he could still hold on, but Zi Xiao beside him had already turned pale.

"Zixiao, hold on a little longer, I'll go find daddy right away."

"Don't... Brother, you have been with me for so long, go back and rest, I... I can still hold on."

"Nonsense, your face is already so ugly!"

With that said, Shao Zimu stood up, opened the gate of the ancestral hall, and walked out.

Judging by the weather, Dad should come back.

It's just that Shao Zimu searched around, and was finally told: Master hasn't returned home today!

So Shao Zimu went to the kitchen, wanting to bring some food to Zi Xiao.

But when he went to the kitchen, he saw that it was empty.

This is impossible.Zixiao just came back yesterday, so it's fine that they forgot to prepare the meals.own meals? !

So Shao Zimu frowned and asked the cook:

"What about my meal?"

"Back to the Eldest Young Master, the maidservant learned that the Second Young Master is back, and originally prepared for the Second Young Master's share. It's just that the madam... took all of them away..."

"What?! She took Zixiao and I's food away? Is she a pig?"

"Eldest son, don't be angry, the servant is doing it again."

"Hey, he just targeted me and Zixiao on purpose. Usually, Daddy is protecting us, but she doesn't dare to do anything. Now Daddy wants to punish Zixiao, she is so shameless!"

"My lord, the servant said something that shouldn't be said, Madam... she is also a poor person."

"Hmph, poor people must have something to hate. Daddy doesn't love her, and he doesn't have any real relationship with her. But if she can treat others generously and complain instead, everyone will respect her!"

When the cook heard this, she didn't dare to talk about Madam with the eldest son.

"My servant heard that the second young master was fined to kneel by the master just after he came back yesterday. Eldest young master, is this true?"

"That's right, alas, Zixiao has been kneeling for a day and a night, and his body can't hold it anymore."

"Oh, how could this be? The master has always loved the second son very much, and he has never punished him like this!"

"What else? It's just because of the gossip outside! I plan to wait for my father to come home and plead with him. It's just that at this time in the past, my father should have returned. Why is it so late today?"

"Maybe the master is staying in the palace for dinner today?"

"The new emperor has just returned to the palace. It is indeed possible. It's just why today!"

At this time, a young man ran in and said:

"Cook, prepare dinner quickly, the master is back!"

When Shao Zimu heard the words, he hurried out.

He almost collided with Shao Shutong who was also walking briskly at the corner.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Is it enough to kneel with your brother? Are you finally willing to get up?"

"Daddy, please spare Zixiao. Zixiao has been in poor health since he was a child. If you kneel down like this, you are killing him!"

Shao Shutong snorted and said:

"Do you know why I came back so late today? Because the empress dowager came to find me in person!"
