Jiaochi shook her head blankly.

"Oh? Did Daddy ask me why I fell overboard? ”

Li Huaan's eyes sank, frowning and thinking.

Jiao Chi noticed the change in her expression, walked quickly to the window and probed, Fang returned to Li Huahua's side, and said in her ear: "Although Master Hou didn't blame Madame, the people in the house said that last night I seemed to hear Master Hou and Madame arguing in the west courtyard......"

Jiao Chi is a smart and clever person, she saw Ahri being locked up, and knew that at this time the eldest lady was in urgent need of a powerful man, so the other maids went to eat, and she kept guarding the door, and as soon as she heard the eldest lady calling Ahri, she immediately came in to serve.

When the eldest lady asked, she naturally knew everything and said everything.

"Jiaochi, from now on, you will be like Ahri, you will get an equal share of the silver every month, you don't have to work in the outer courtyard anymore, come to my house to serve."

After Li Huahua finished speaking, he stood up, took out a pair of golden hairpins from the makeup box, and handed them to Jiao Chi.

"Ahri is simple-minded, and many things are not well thought out, and in my yard, I have to bother Sister Jiaochi to take care of it."

Jiao Chi hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and was happy to take the golden hairpin.

Jin Hai is a small matter, and what is rare is the trust of the eldest lady.

"Comb my hair and I'll get to Daddy later."

Jiaochi agreed, and began to serve with all her heart.

……

Dongfang Rongqin's study is so quiet that you can even hear the needle landing.

He sat alone in front of the desk, frowning and sighing.

Suddenly, the little maid in the courtyard reported that the eldest lady was here.

He hurriedly got up and greeted the door, his eyes full of concern: "Sheng'er is better?" ”

Li Huaanhua nodded and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I suffered from some wind and cold, which made my father worried." ”

She stepped forward, grabbed Dongfang Rongqin's arm, and leaned on coquettishness.

"Daddy, yesterday I blamed myself for being playful and accidentally falling into the lake, which caused this series of incidents."

Dongfang Rongqin was reluctant to blame her, only patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "You have to be careful in the future, if you have a good one, how can your father live......

When Li Huahua heard this, his eyes were slightly sour: "Good father, I must be careful in the future, can I release Ahri first this time?" ”

Dongfang Rongqin was not in a hurry to answer, and pulled Li Huahua into the study.

The father and daughter sat opposite each other and sipped tea, looking at each other and smiling.

Dongfang Rongqin smiled meaningfully, and said slowly: "The female university is not staying...... I don't know when Sheng'er met the King of England. Since Sheng'er has taken a fancy to the King of England, she should come and talk to her father first. ”

Li Huahua lowered his head and drank tea, not daring to answer.

Yesterday in the front hall, she thought that when she saw the big green dragon, she could immediately go back to Dawang Mountain, but she forgot for a while, and she lost her manners, and she forgot to ask Ahri, who is the king of Ying. Now, listening to the meaning of Dongfang Rongqin's words, Dongfang Huasheng and Na Ying Wang really have never met. Dongfang Rongqin is afraid that he thinks that his beloved daughter has an affair with the King of England behind his back......

Dongfang Rongqin sighed, full of helplessness: "I know that you don't like the family affairs that your wife promised for you, but with your father in everything, you will naturally not be at a loss." ”

Li Huahua hurriedly put down the tea bowl and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "It's all Sheng'er's fault, from now on, no matter what, Sheng'er will listen to his father." ”

"It's not that you listen to your father in everything, but if you want it, your father will naturally let you get your way, but if you don't want it, your father also has a way to tell others not to force you, but Sheng'er, you must tell your father first in case of trouble, and you must tell your father what you want, you know?"

Dongfang Rongqin, as a father, said these words with the meaning of begging.

Li Huahua felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she knew how much Dongfang Rongqin valued this daughter, but hearing these words with her own ears, she had more experience than before.

She felt guilty in her heart, and after struggling, she decided not to deceive Dongfang Rongqin anymore, her eyes were red at the moment, and she whispered: "Actually, I'm not your daughter, I'm just ......"

"What nonsense again! If you were going to tell Daddy what you told Ahri earlier, Daddy would already know it, and what father in this world would be unable to distinguish between his own flesh and blood? ”

Dongfang Rongqin touched her head lovingly, and his gentle tone was the same as before: "You were seriously ill a few days ago, so you can't remember what happened before, but don't worry, Sheng'er, Daddy will definitely think of a way to restore your memory." ”

Li Huaanhua saw that he was so determined, and it was not easy to be persistent, the most important thing at the moment was to rescue Ahri first.

"Daddy, can you release Ahri first?"

Li Huahua changed his position and sat beside Dongfang Rongqin, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, full of admiration.

Dongfang Rongqin couldn't stand such a battle, rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "Daddy is just afraid that if you don't wake up, she will cause some trouble, so he locked her up, and now that you are well, you naturally can't do without her, and Daddy will let her go." ”

Li Huahua hugged Dongfang Rongqin's arm and said with a smile: "Daddy is so good!" ”

Dongfang Rongqin suddenly thought of something, straightened Li Huahua, and said with a solemn expression: "Sheng'er, why did you choose the King of England?" ”

Li Huahua was stunned, why did he choose the king of England? She can't say, I'm going to take the king's dragon egg and leave my old father......

She lowered her head and thought about it, and after a long time, Fang replied, "Because, because ...... The King of England is so good-looking! ”

Dongfang Rongqin was stunned, he didn't expect his daughter to give such an answer, and immediately burst into laughter, and the laughter shook the roof: "Haha...... The six sons of the Spirit Emperor are indeed the best of the British kings. ”

"But......" he paused, "even if the king of England has the appearance of heaven and man, and his martial arts can be regarded as the talent of the emperor, it is a pity that he was not able to be born in the belly of the queen." ”

Li Huaanhua said curiously: "Since ancient times, princes who have not been born from the throne have inherited the unification everywhere, why does my father say this about the king?" ”

Dongfang Rongqin's face sank, and after a while, he returned to normal.

"Sheng'er, the life experience of the King of England is not like that of an ordinary prince, wait for Ahri to come out, let her tell you carefully. Daddy has one more important matter to discuss with you. ”

Seeing that Dongfang Rongqin was so serious, she hurriedly straightened her body and listened quietly.

It turns out that tomorrow is the day of the royal draft, and the women to be married in various families are on the draft list, and Dongfang Rongqin's daughter is no exception. This draft is not only to enrich the harem for Emperor Ling, but also to take the opportunity to select the main concubines and side concubines for the princes.

It's just that a few days ago, Dongfang Huasheng went crazy and killed people in an uproar, and the Qin family in Fushan didn't know who instigated them, so they went to Beijing to sue the emperor, specifying that Dongfang Huasheng wanted to kill people to pay for his life.

Therefore, Queen Duanmu had no choice but to remove Dongfang Huasheng from the list of this draft.

The Fushan Qin family, the Duanshui Xie family, and the Liangyuan Duanmu family are listed as the three major families of Daning. They are all heirlooms of poetry and books, with people all over the world, and their family history has been unfading for more than 100 generations. The three major families are different from rookie favorites like Dongfang Rongqin, they may not be much favored by the emperor on weekdays, but the emperor's dependence and fear of them are very deep.

Whether it is the political turbulence period of the Daning Dynasty or the war period when various countries seek power and blood, the three major families can stand alone and always maintain their status, and their strength will be long-lasting.
