Princess Xueyan looked at her father's somewhat old face, and her heart was also very uncomfortable, her mother left early, her father was the king of a country, busy with state affairs all day long, working day and night, for the country and the people, worried, looking forward to the prosperity and development of the country, as this true son, he should be competent.

However, as a husband, he always thought that he was unqualified, he felt sorry for the dead concubine, so he gave all his love to this precious daughter Princess Xueyan, she is the emperor's spiritual sustenance in this world, when he sees her, he will think of his beloved concubine.

Xueyan has seen her father's good intentions since she was a child, and her father is so kind to her. He has never lost his temper with her, and any request, as long as it is raised, will be met with all his might.

The emperor knew that he owed his daughter the most, and he made her lose her mother's love since she was a child, and this great and selfless love could not be exchanged for any conditions and requirements. Therefore, the emperor wanted to double the compensation for his daughter's missing forever irreparable affection.

Giving all the best things in the world to her daughter, Princess Xueyan's food and clothing, and daily life can be said to be extremely luxurious.

The tributes from various provinces, precious jewels and jade, the best woods and crafts, it can be said that the princess's boudoir is full of everything, Xueyan is made of the best satin silk from head to toe, and the rouge powder used is also imported from the West.

Despite this, every time Xueyan opened those big eyes, looked at him and asked, "Father, other children have mothers, why don't I have them? Where did my mother go?"

The emperor was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, and the guilt, hesitation, helplessness and contradiction in his heart converged with mixed feelings.

He looked at his daughter's dark eyes and whispered to her, "Son! Mother has gone to a distant place!"

Xueyan always asks puzzledly, "How far is it, when will I be back?"

The emperor's heart was sour, and he was dumbfounded, tears rolling in his eyes.

However, he endured his grief, he didn't let the tears fall, he didn't want his daughter to see him sad, he knew that if his daughter knew the truth, it would cause irreparable damage to her young heart. That way he would feel more guilty, and he wanted to try to make it as little hurtful as possible to his daughter.

"It is a far, far away place, where there is no pain and trouble, quiet and pleasant, there are flowers and trees, mountains and seas, there are no strife, no troubles, no sorrows, only happiness and joy!" The emperor's fatherly voice was full of love, and this paternal love made the childhood princess feel so satisfied, and she did not feel a trace of sentimentality in her heart, and she naively thought that her mother had really gone to a beautiful place.

"Father, since that place is so good, why didn't Mother take us with her, but let us suffer here, you are busy every day, working day and night for state affairs, and I am also lonely all day with my subordinates, shall we go to find Mother?" the princess blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at her father.

"Son, why doesn't my father want to go with my mother early? But now is not the time.

If your father takes you to your mother, what will happen to these suffering people? They are innocent, and although I, the emperor, have no great achievements, my heart is with the people.

I wish I could do more for them, and then go to your mother in peace, I think then she will be at ease

Otherwise, even if I went to her, she would blame me, because her heart was also in these poor people. ”

The emperor looked blankly into the distance, as if he saw the distant place where Concubine Zhen was.

Xue Yan seemed to understand, nodded subconsciously, and stopped asking.

As the princess grew up, she heard people talk about her mother, and she knew the whole story little by little. She suddenly realized the meaning of her father's words.

Now my father is getting old, and his temples have grown gray hair, but he still works for the affairs of the country. From the bottom of her heart, she had infinite reverence for her father.

The father was able to spare time to worry about his daughter's marriage in such a busy time, which made the princess very touched from the heart. She admired her father's vision, and he knew that everything he gave his daughter was the best, including the person who was the best for the horse.

This pearl bird is personally selected by the father, never thought that the father's vision really coincides with himself, this son is the best among the people, elegant and dignified, generous and decent, knowledgeable, rich in five cars, only eight buckets high, full of economy, is a genius of the world.

Moreover, this son was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, full scales, a face like a silver basin, and delicate and lovely facial features.

However, there was no news during this time, and I did not hear anything from my father about this son.

Therefore, Princess Xueyan couldn't wait to ask what had happened. By the way, she wanted to know her father's thoughts and plans, and when exactly she planned to get married.

Think of the princess's heart, and she doesn't feel joy in her heart. She really hopes that she will soon be able to see her dashing son who thinks about the day and dreams at night.

"Father, are you talking about state affairs? I don't say hello, it won't affect you if I come to greet you, right?" Princess Xueyan said politely.

"Daughter! You came just in time, my father is busy with state affairs these days and doesn't have time to go to the Qifeng Palace to see you! Are you okay? I feel a little thin! Isn't it comfortable!

Do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to come into the palace and take a look, do you have anything you want to eat? I'll arrange for someone to let the imperial dining room do it!"

The emperor was very concerned about his daughter, but in fact, he didn't know why his daughter was so thin and emaciated?

"Father, I'm fine! You don't have to worry! I'm here to ask for news of the bird!"

The princess's words were a little shy and shy, and her face was as shy as a red cloth in an instant.

The emperor couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at his words and deeds, and as expected, the princess had fallen in love with the merry swinger brother Zhuyu.

This is also the thing he worries the most, and he doesn't know how to say it to his daughter. He was afraid that his daughter would be sad in her heart.

His daughter's sadness and pain are the last thing he wants, and it is better to make himself miserable than that. However, the consummation of their marriage will make her daughter's life even more painful in the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor said to Xue Yan in his heart: "Child, since you were a child, has there been anything that your father has not relied on you?"

Xue Yan couldn't help but be stunned, listening to her father's tone, it seemed that she was going to say something to herself, he had never spoken to himself so formally!

Whenever I encounter something, I try to be as satisfied as possible, but today is different from the past, and listening to words seems to indicate that I want to give advice or reject my words. Xueyan

The talent is extremely intelligent, how can he not hear the sound outside of this.

She also had a hunch that her father's tone was very closely related to the handsome boy. Something must have gone wrong in the selection of the horse, which may have meant some misunderstanding of the bird.

She had a hunch that her father was going to interfere in her marriage to the pearl bird. Thinking about it, her mind couldn't help buzzing, she secretly complained to her father, why did he get in the way, but she was kept in the dark.

Therefore, Xueyan was extremely unhappy in her heart, and she did not follow her father's words, "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it! This is the event of my life, why are you so distracted?"

The emperor has a hard time arguing, he knows that the princess has an idea, and there is a knot in his heart that cannot be untied, she must think that as his father, he is indifferent to his daughter's lifelong affairs, and he neither listens nor asks, at this time she must feel particularly wronged, her mother left early, if her mother Concubine Zhen is alive, she must be worried about her daughter's affairs.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, thinking about Concubine Zhen herself, she felt sorry for her daughter, but the conscience of heaven and earth, he was worried about his daughter's marriage.

Not to mention the selection of candidates, you have to ensure the character of this colt.

Everything is fine with this pearl bird, but it is romantic, how can this guarantee that he will be single-minded about his baby daughter in the future?

How could he say these things to his daughter? His daughter was so infatuated with this pearl bird that if he let her know that this person was often looking for flowers and willows outside, her daughter would inevitably be very sad again, and this was what he did not want to see.

Although this polygamy is legal, for the royal family, especially the concubines, how can they have three wives and four concubines?

The emperor thought about it before and after, it was a dilemma, he deeply felt why it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and the affairs of the family were sometimes more difficult to deal with than the affairs of the state, after all, home is a place to talk about feelings, but it is not a place to be reasonable.

However, for the sake of his daughter's future happiness, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

But seeing that he had calmed down, and had stabilized the chaotic thread, he said to the princess kindly, "Son, Father has done everything for your good!"

Think about what parent in the world doesn't want their children to be good! Although I am the king of a country, I am also a father!

How can I always and everywhere not think about my precious daughter? Your mother left early, and the bitterness of your heart, how could I not know that my father is constantly looking for a candidate for this horse! How can this major marriage event be a child's play? You have to choose it right! You can't just look at his appearance, but also look at his character!"

The emperor's words were very sincere, full of concern and affection for his daughter as a father.

However, in Princess Xueyan's place, these words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart, and it was obvious that her father had hinted to her that this pearl bird was of bad character and had a stinky skin.

How can the princess love to listen to these words, her heart has been firmly tied to the son, how can she allow her father to say that he does not say a word, she complains to her father in her heart, if she really thinks about it, she should follow her daughter's wishes, after all, it is a daughter's lifelong event, and her daughter's opinion should be referred to, it is the daughter who is looking for her husband, and it is not the daughter whose father is looking for her husband.

The more Xue Yan thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, the more she thinks about it, and she wants to have a good theory with her father!"
