After speaking, he saluted to the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen, "The old minister has more three princes to send the little girl back to the house, if it is late today, the old minister will not invite the three princes into the house, and when the three princes are free during the day, they can go to the house again." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shangguan Lihua's reaction, he beckoned Shangguan Lihua and walked towards the Dingguo Mansion. Shangguan Lihua still couldn't believe it, his father had always been optimistic about Xuanyuan Yuchen, and it didn't sound wrong to say this today, but the alienation in his words could still be heard. I could only follow Shangguan Ao back to my house in a daze.

It was only said that the three princes Xuanyuan Yuchen understood the complexity that flashed in Shangguan Ao's eyes when he looked at him, and it was precisely because of his understanding that he did not step forward to stop him. He thought that there were some things that needed to be said clearly.

It wasn't until Dingguo Gong Shangguan Ao and Shangguan Lihua entered the mansion that the gate of Dingguo Mansion was closed, and the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen turned around and left.

Since it has been decided to enter the game to compete, the necessary planning still needs to be prepared.

What Dingguo Gong Shangguan Ao didn't know was that because of his eyes, Xuanyuan Yuchen became more and more determined to get involved in the battle for the throne. Not for anything else, just to give Shangguan Lihua a splendid and stable future.

Of course, these are things that Shangguan Ao and even Shangguan Lihua don't know yet.

It is said that the father and daughter entered the Dingguo Mansion, and Shangguan Lihua was about to walk back to his Huanli Garden, but was stopped by Shangguan Ao and called into the study.

As soon as Shangguan Lihua saw her father Shangguan arrogant look, and then recalled the look that her father cast at Xuanyuan Yuchen when she was outside the gate, she thought about it carefully and then made up her mind. Then he guessed what Shangguan Ao would say if he wanted to go to the study by himself. Shangguan Lihua put away her thoughts and followed Shangguan Ao into the study.

On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter Shangguan Ao's study at will, even if it is Shangguan Ao's wife, Wen Qingrong, the mother of Shangguan Lihua and others, is no exception. It's not that Shangguan Ao is guarding against her, but after all, Shangguan Ao has a heavy army in his hands and is in a high position, so it is inevitable that some confidential documents will be stored in the study. Therefore, this Wen Qingrong is also a person who knows etiquette, and she has nothing to do and does not go to Shangguan's proud study. Needless to say, everyone in the mansion did not have the permission of the master's family, and as subordinates, they would not have the opportunity to enter Shangguan Ao's study.

Besides, Shangguan Lihua's sister and brother and sister, Shangguan Lihua needless to say, there is generally nothing to do, Shangguan is arrogant at all, and he will not let her come into contact with these bad things. Although his daughter is very talented, he doesn't need to let his daughter participate in the deliberations. All he wants is for his wife, sons, and daughters to be happy, and he will take care of other external matters.

To be honest, Shangguan Lihua in his previous life stepped into Shangguan Ao's study only a handful of times. Later, even because of Xuanyuan Yuling, he talked more about political affairs with his father, but it was very rare to enter this study. On the contrary, after marrying Xuanyuan Yuling, in order to facilitate deliberations, she often went in and out of Xuanyuan Yuling's study.

Without waiting for Shangguan Lihua to think too much, Shangguan Ao immediately ordered the doorman to guard after Shangguan Lihua followed him into the study, and did not let anyone approach the study. After completing this series of actions, Shangguan Ao approached Shangguan Lihua and stood still in front of him. He calmly looked at the daughter in front of him who had been pampered by him since childhood.

Suddenly, he sighed with emotion, and before he knew it, Shangguan Lihua had grown up and become a girl with a water spirit.

Shangguan Ao sighed softly, this sigh was extremely shallow, but Shangguan Lihua was extremely heavy in his ears.

"Li'er has grown up, and she will be in time in a few months. At that time, the emperor is likely to give Li'er a marriage. Daddy didn't know that Li'er had someone in his heart? Shangguan Ao said as he observed Shangguan Lihua's expression, and even looked directly into Shangguan Lihua's eyes, not allowing himself to miss any trace of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Although Shangguan Lihua had a guess in his heart before he stepped into this study, he didn't expect his father to be so straightforward for a while, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Shangguan Lihua didn't speak, Shangguan Ao thought that his daughter's family was shy and couldn't say it, but he was worried that she was so innocent that she would fall for someone else's way. Therefore, today Shangguan Ao doesn't care whether Shangguan Lihua will be ashamed, he wants to talk to his daughter. At least let herself know what she really thinks in her heart.

"Li'er knows that in a family like ours, most of the marriages of the concubines are designated by the emperor to choose marriage. Daddy asked you today if you have someone you like, and he also hopes that you can be happy and happy for the rest of your life. If Li'er has a heart, Daddy will fight for this old life, and he will still fight for the emperor for you. Shangguan looked at his daughter and said softly.

Shangguan Lihua helped Shangguan Ao to sit down on the chair next to him, poured tea himself, and asked, "Daddy's words today, my daughter naturally understands." Therefore, my daughter is grateful to my father for his meticulous love for his daughter over the years. But Daddy, do you really think that if the emperor insists on marrying his daughter, unless the daughter is now married, no matter how we try to fight for it, all we get is more gold and silver compensation. If I insist on refusing, I may be on the entire Dingguo Mansion. ”

What Shangguan Lihua said, where could Shangguan Ao not understand these truths, it was precisely because he understood that he looked at Shangguan Lihua incredulously and did not speak for a long time.

For a long time, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, because he knew that what Shangguan Lihua said was true.

After looking at Shangguan Lihua, Shangguan Ao finally spoke: "It seems that Li'er has really grown up, when did Li'er start to think about these bad things, Daddy didn't know?"

Shangguan Lihua served the tea, sat down opposite Shangguan Ao, and said with a helpless smile: "Why should my father blame himself and worry, my daughter will grow up sooner or later." Moreover, the current situation may not be as bad as imagined. ”

Hearing Shangguan Lihua say this, Shangguan said arrogantly: "What does Li'er mean? Since you are not as ignorant of the current situation as your father sees, you must also know that if the emperor marries, no matter who he marries Li'er, our Dingguo Mansion will be permanently bound to him. These...... Has Li'er ever thought about it? ”

"Father, Li'er is not a person who is afraid of death, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Li'er can't help but hold on!" After speaking, Shangguan Lihua clenched his teeth.

She didn't know what she thought about her father, who had loved her since childhood, but it was her true words. In this life, even if there is only a glimmer of chance, she will not marry Xuanyuan Yuling, if she still can't escape the ending of her previous life despite her efforts, then she will never live in the world.
