Chapter 257: The Only Appeal
"What are you doing?" Sang Chengyuan frowned and looked at Liu Mei, she was suddenly so entangled, a little unreasonable, which made him really have a headache.
"If there is anything else, I can agree to you, but this matter is not something you and I can control. ”
"As long as the master agrees, with us helping Xiaoxi, she will definitely be able to get her wish. The concubine has no other wishes, and the only thing she looks forward to is that Xiaoxi can live a happier life than the concubine. Xiaoxi should also marry an excellent man. ”
"There are many excellent men in Taichen Kingdom, and we can choose others for her. In my opinion, Imperial Doctor Shen, who came to diagnose Xiaoxi's pulse today, is easy-going, which is very good. Aren't they still friends?"
"But the person Xiaoxi likes is His Royal Highness King Chen! If it is not the love of her heart, no matter how good the other party is, it is useless. Didn't I give up the marriage contract arranged for me by my family just to marry the love of my heart?"
She gave up a lot for Sang Chengyuan. Could it be that now, she made the only request, and Sang Chengyuan refused to agree?
"Master, please think more about us at the beginning, for our daughter, work hard, is it okay? If you don't agree, the concubine can only kneel for a long time. ”
"Are you threatening me?"
"The concubine doesn't dare! The concubine just wants the master to see the sincerity of the concubine, and hopes that the master will be fulfilled. ”
"Even if I agree, King Chen doesn't look down on Xiaoxi, it won't help. ”
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. As long as the master nods, we can always find a way to get King Chen to marry Xiaoxi. He is Xiaoxi's life now, can you bear to watch your daughter get haggard day by day, and run out of oil?"
Of course, Sang Chengyuan can't watch his daughter die like this, it's just that this matter is not that simple.
He looked at Liu Mei for a while, and then said, "Let me think about it again, and I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow." You get up and speak first!"
"Thank you, master, concubine!"
Liu Mei was ecstatic, and treated Sang Chengyuan more and more attentively, picking vegetables and pouring wine. Sang Chengyuan was comfortable, but he was still muttering in his heart, and he always felt that this matter was not very reliable. After careful consideration, he decided that he should talk to his daughter alone, and after confirming the child's intentions, he thought about it again, and it was not feasible.
Seeing that Liu Mei was confident, as if she had already thought about how to make King Chen nod, Sang Chengyuan was not so optimistic.
Whether it can be done or not depends on King Chen's thoughts. But how can anyone guess his thoughts?
On this day, Sang Chengyuan specially went to see Sang Xiaoxi and brought some snacks back.
"I heard that your mouth is bitter, and I specially bought it for you. ”
Sang Xiaoxi was a little moved in her heart: "Thank you father! The daughter is not filial and has not been able to take care of her body, which makes her father worried." ”
"Silly boy, look at what you said, parents in the world, who is not heartbroken for their children, this is all as it should be. How have you gotten these two days?"
Sang Xiaoxi sighed: "It's still the same, I don't know what's wrong this time, it's not good for a long time." ”
"If you relax and take care of it, it will naturally recover. Your mother and Imperial Physician Shen both told me about your situation, and you are depressed in your heart, so you will be like this. You can tell your father if there is something on your mind, or if there is something you can't let go, you can tell me, and maybe I can help you solve it. ”
Sang Xiaoxi looked at his father, hesitated for a while, and reluctantly smiled: "My daughter's life in the mansion is already very good, and I don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes." Now I only hope that my father and the people in my family can be healthy and happy, and my daughter is satisfied. ”
Sang Chengyuan knew that these were decent words, but Sang Xiaoxi still didn't say what he thought in his heart.
"Xiaoxi, I came to see you specifically to know what you think in your heart. You don't need to worry, just tell me what you want. Haven't you ever thought about asking for something for yourself? You can't be at your age without ideas. ”
"I don't know, what is my father referring to?"
Sang Chengyuan coughed twice, this was the first time he asked his daughter about feelings, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak.
"That's right! Your mother told me about your illness last night, and I won't beat around the bush. Your mother's meaning, your illness, is lovesickness, not a medicine stone can be cured. She said, you have a sweetheart and miss it too much. I came here just to ask, what is going on in your heart, do you really have a sweetheart?"
Sang Chengyuan felt that it was too tiring to beat around the bush, and he should be blunt when he talked to his daughter.
Sang Xiaoxi was stunned, not knowing what her mother and father said, so she asked her father to ask him such a question directly.
"Father, my daughter never dares to give birth to ideas that she shouldn't have, please be clear to my father!"
"Don't worry! You've reached this age, and it's normal to have someone you like, so you don't have to be afraid. If your father understands clearly, he can make decisions for you, don't you? Do you like it, but Imperial Doctor Shen who is sick for you?" Sang Chengyuan deliberately asked first, and saw Sang Xiaoxi's reaction before he could make a judgment.
Sang Xiaoxi denied it without thinking about it: "My daughter and Imperial Doctor Shen are just ordinary friends, and my father knows it! My daughter has always remembered her father's teachings, and she doesn't dare to have the slightest idea that she shouldn't have." ”
"Don't be afraid, I care about you. Since it's not Imperial Doctor Shen, then ...... Is it His Royal Highness King Chen?" Sang Chengyuan asked tentatively again, staring intently at Sang Xiaoxi's eyes.
I saw Sang Xiaoxi stunned for a while, and then looked away.
"Father, don't be kidding his daughter! His Royal Highness King Chen is high, where can his daughter afford to climb high? In this case, the father should not say any more, if he let outsiders know, he will definitely laugh at his daughter's delusional thinking. ”
"I can't afford to climb high, that is to say, you know that you are not qualified, but you didn't say that you don't like King Chen, right?"
Sang Xiaoxi looked at his father in astonishment: "I ......"
"I'm not tempting, I'm listening to the truth. Your mother begged me yesterday to let me help you fulfill your wish. Imperial Doctor Shen said that your illness needs heart medicine to be cured. Your mother said, His Royal Highness King Chen, is your heart medicine. Tell me, what do you think in your heart? A while ago, my father heard some about you and King Chen. Really, is it true?"
Sang Xiaoxi was silent for a moment, she looked at Sang Chengyuan, a little worried, could she tell the truth, was her father testing herself, or did she have another purpose?
Sang Chengyuan saw that Sang Xiaoxi was silent, and emphasized again.
"This is the opportunity that your mother asked you for! For the last time my father asked you, what kind of thoughts do you have for King Chen? Do you have any love for her? Really, don't you want him to marry?"
Suddenly, the air in the room condensed.
