Chapter 124: The Man in the Veil
"It's all because my father is an official and doesn't have a sense of proportion, and the princess of Yu'er can't be the one who hurts him." Dai Chengming sighed again.
"What did my father say, it's just a crown princess, it's nothing remarkable."
"But my father can see that Yu'er still yearns for it." Dai Chengming said.
"My daughter is not greedy for power, as long as her important people are around."
"What a good daughter, I am also fortunate to be a father for three lives, and I have been reduced to such a situation and I still have your company."
"It's good that my father figured it out, power is something that you don't bring in life or death, and in a few years you will just be a punctuation mark of the times."
Dai Chengming didn't know what the punctuation marks she was talking about, but she heard what she was trying to say, that is, don't pay attention to too much and live in the moment.
"Yu'er, have you hated your father all these years?"
Dai Duyu looked at him suspiciously, why did she hate him? Could it be that he was not good to the heroine before?
"Father, please."
"Yu'er, it was my father who listened to the villain's slander before......"
"But what about fortune telling?"
Dai Chengming nodded, and Twilight knew that those Jianghu warlocks liked to fool people the most!
"Your mother hadn't left yet, and we were all very happy to have a daughter like you, but one day a man dressed as a warlock broke into my study!"
And then the father listened? Nothing short of nonsense! Twilight said angrily.
"Yu'er listen to me first, he told me that there will be a mole on the bottom of your foot, which is unlucky!"
"Well, father, you go on." Twilight said lightly.
"I secretly looked at the soles of your feet, there was indeed a mole, and at that time, there was a vision from the sky, and the colorful glow on the sky was infiltrating!"
"Oh, why didn't my father say that this was an auspicious sign?" Twilight said.
"Me! I have to believe it, you know the birds in the courtyard are chirping all the time! I am very afraid of being a father! Dai Chengming said a little excited.
Twilight looked at him suspiciously, "Father, do you think I'm a disaster when you say that, and then you snub me hard?" β
"Alas, Yu'er, it's all your father's stupidity that has caused you to suffer for so many years."
"Father is indeed stupid!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Do you know the pain of falling off a cliff? If it weren't for my mother's blessing, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago! β
In fact, your daughter really died a long time ago, and I am just a wisp of ghost from another world.
"Yu'er, let you suffer, it's for the father!" Dai Chengming said with some shame.
"I'm sorry, what's the use, father, you're a selfish ghost!"
Dai Chengming was scolded by his daughter, but he was still a little relieved, at least his daughter didn't hate herself so much, and she was really selfish......
"Yu'er, don't worry about your father." Dai Cheng Ming said curtly.
"How dare you, father is still father."
"Hey, good girl!"
The corners of Dai Duyu's mouth twitched, looking at her resentful eyes, I really wanted to hang him in that swallow's nest!
"Father, do you think you can still turn over in this life?" Twilight asked.
Dai Chengming sighed, "Unless the fifth prince ascends the throne, it is impossible." β
Twilight Yu subconsciously thought of Leng Shaoqing in her heart, this arrogant man would be a thorn in the side of many people!
The throne within reach in front of him, behind him are many ministers who are eyeing him, and if he takes a wrong step, it is a quagmire, no wonder he is so cold to himself.
"Father thinks the fifth prince will be comparable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Twilight asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he has the protection of the queen's family, but it is not impossible to be pulled off the horse by the five princes." Dai Chengming said with a smile.
"I don't know where the confidence of the five princes came from?"
"Although the fifth prince is weak, she is scheming, and there are not a few ministers who are willing to serve him."
"Then what if the emperor removes all these ministers? Do the five princes still have a chance to win? Twilight asked.
Dai Chengming was also helpless in his heart, "If the emperor intervenes, there is almost no chance of winning......"
"Father looks like he's going to suffer."
"As a father, I didn't expect the emperor to be so fast!"
"Father, do you know if your daughter should say something?"
"Yu'er just said it, now this place is almost isolated from the world, and the return date is also far away."
Twilight saw the big swallow fly back again, it didn't bring back the bugs this time, and the little swallows all looked at it blankly.
"Does my father think that the fifth prince will be good to my father when he ascends the throne? Give you an official and a marquis? β
"The five princes promised me that if he ascended the throne, the position of prime minister above this person and below ten thousand people would definitely be mine."
Seeing his sworn appearance, Dai Duyu wanted to hang him on the swallow's nest to sober up......
"Then why didn't you take your father when he was demoted?"
"This ...... Those who achieve great things must endure humiliation! Dai Chengming said.
"Father is still so naΓ―ve!" Twilight sneered.
"Yu'er, I swear to follow the five princes to the death!"
"Father, don't expect too much from the five princes, as far as I know, the five princes are recruiting now!"
Dai Chengming panicked and said, "How did Yu'er know?" β
"The prince told me, although my father can rest assured, the fifth prince is not inferior to you, a chess piece!"
Dai Chengming is even more lost now, how long will he continue to lie to himself? Five princes, five princes! I paved the way for you, and now you have left me aside when the road is about to be!
"Yu'er, what should my father do?"
Dai Duyu also felt sad for him in his heart, thinking about calculating others, but in the end he was just a chess piece for others......
"The daughter thinks that her father should do this document first, don't worry too much about the affairs of the court, it's still okay to develop her own power in this place."
Dai Chengming suddenly realized, as if the bright future had come again......
"Father, it's time for your super high communication skills to be shown, and the gentry and celebrities here can make friends."
"It's really my good rain!" Dai Chengming said excitedly.
"Heh, I'm afraid that my father will go to eat flowers and wine and do nothing all day, isn't that a waste?" Twilight asked.
Dai Chengming scratched his head in embarrassment, "How can I be this kind of person?" β
"Father, do you want to find a new mother?" Twilight laughed.
Dai Chengming was even more embarrassed now, he shook his head, "Look at fate." β
"Okay, I believe my father's fate is very good."
"Don't be naughty! What does the daughter's family want to do? Dai Chengming said.
"That's a father's big business, and a daughter should be cared for." Twilight laughed.
Dai Chengming only felt that his old face was red, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Dai Duyu, he always felt that she could read minds......
I know my temperament very well, and I see this major event in the DPRK and China very clearly, and there is a calm in those pure eyes that does not belong to this age......
Is she really her own daughter? Why does it look a little familiar, but still a little unfamiliar?
"Then what does Yu'er think Mingyue should do?" Dai Chengming asked.
"Mingyue?"
"Now that Mingyue has left the academy, I'm afraid that he will abandon his studies because of this, and I'm also very worried in my heart."
Dai Duyu thought about it carefully, "I wonder if there is a school here?" It's good to be a teacher. β
"That's a great idea, Yu'er!"
The corners of Dai Duyu's mouth twitched, of course it was a good idea, how did he feel that this cheap father was coming to hug his thighs......
"Father, do you know where this is?" Twilight asked.
Dai Chengming shook his head, he had never been to such a remote place, "I don't know." β
"Is my father ready to stay here for a few years?" Twilight asked.
"Hmm. It is said that if you eat hard, you will become a master. β
"Has my father ever thought about resigning?"
Dai Cheng Ming looked at her inexplicably, and said, "Why do you want to resign?" β
"There are too few people, it is better to resign from the government and become a rich man!"
"There is some truth to it, but this is just taking office, if you leave rashly, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the saint." Dai Chengming said.
"Well, Dad will do it for a while, and after a while we will be working on it in the long run."
"Listen to the rain."
Dai Duyu smiled back, no, the third woman told them to go to dinner.
Dai Duyu left first, and Dai Chengming went to find Liu Guifang to come out for dinner, he didn't know what tonight's dinner was, and he was still a little resistant in his heart.
thinks that he has been clothed and fed for most of his life, but now he is about to return to the life of a poor scholar, and there will inevitably be a gap in his heart.
"Mother, are you feeling better?" Dai Chengming looked at Liu Guifang who was lying on the bed and asked.
"Well, out of the way."
"Then mother, get up and have dinner."
"Bring it to me, I don't want to get up, it's very tired!"
Dai Chengming carefully folded the quilt for her, and said to Dai Xinrou on the side: "Rou'er, you go and bring something over for your grandmother to eat." β
"Yes, father."
Dai Xinrou left in response, leaving Dai Chengming and Liu Guifang's mother and son in this dimly lit small room.
"Is the mother blaming the child for his unfilial piety?" Dai Chengming asked embarrassedly.
"Ahem...... At this point, is it useful for me to complain! Is it still useful? Liu Guifang said with tears in her eyes.
The grievances she hid in her heart made her unable to control herself, she never imagined that she would fall to such a point, what a sin!
"Mother, they're all children, aren't they!" Dai Chengming lowered his head and said.
"Alas! It's all my own bad life......"
"Mother, don't say that, it's a child, it's not you, it's made you suffer!"
Liu Guifang looked at the top of the bed expressionlessly, the tattered mosquito net cloth still exuded a musty smell, she had endured it for a long time, and now she was really about to cough.
"Mother, are you alright?"
"Get out! I'm going to sleep, and no one is going to bother me. Liu Guifang said.
"But don't be angry, mother, the child won't compensate you!"
