Chapter 19: The Quarrel
Qing Nuo had already left, Leng Xian Ning leaned on the pillow, her eyes fell on the slightly open window, it was already dark, she could see the beautiful stars and the bright Xia Xuanyue, it had been a long time since she woke up, and no one had come in to see her, not even a palace maid or eunuch.
She knew that this was her father's bedchamber, and she was glad that he had placed her by her side, and she was sad because he had left her alone in an empty room, unattended.
Even now she was hungry, but there was no one to serve her.
"Squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and the bright yellow figure slowly approached the big bed, when he saw the person who was already awake, he was slightly stunned, and his heart was happy, but he was fiercely contained, and his handsome and tired face was still a haze.
"When you wake up, keep to yourself, and don't provoke me again." Baili Yu Xin said indifferently, never mentioning the matter of kissing.
The cold voice made Leng Xianning completely stunned, she watched his figure walk in slowly, her heart was like a spring, she imagined his face, imagined his expression, imagined that he would shush her and ask for warmth, very nervous. However, she could not have imagined that his first words would be like this, and he told her to keep to herself, and told her not to provoke him again.
She had been asleep for a long time, and had not eaten since she woke up, and now she was so weak that she could hardly even speak, but he didn't even care.
"Father, son-in-law will never be in harmony." Leng Xian Ning's weak voice was extremely firm.
Baili Yu Xin frowned, turned around and stopped looking at her, and was about to walk out, but he just took two steps and stopped, and looked at her pale lips, "This Donglu country, you have to go, get ready, when the envoy from the Donglu country arrives, I will personally send you to the sedan chair." ”
Tears slipped down when his words fell, she didn't want to cry, she didn't want her to see her so fragile side, but, why, why could he be so indifferent, he obviously loved himself very much, he obviously doted on himself, now everything has changed, it has become strange.
"Father, do you want to use the happiness of your sons and grandsons to fulfill your hegemony and the comfort of your children and grandchildren?"
Leng Xian Ning asked coldly, her hoarse voice shattered her thoughts, she couldn't think about anything, she only knew that her father asked her to marry someone else, and her father didn't want her anymore.
Baili Yu Xin's eyes froze, looking at her indifferent expression, looking at her tears, listening to her sharp questioning, but he couldn't say a word.
Can he say no? No, he can't, because it's true, and he does have to sacrifice her marriage.
Leng Xianning looked at him, and his heart fell to the bottom little by little, his father really wanted to give up her, and he really wanted to use her. Honoured? jokes, do you want her to dance to celebrate, to celebrate that she still has some use value in his eyes?
So, let her struggle a little more, just struggle.
"Father, son-in-law will never be a concubine."
Baili Yu Xin was silent, but looked at her little face with pleading eyes indifferently, as if looking at a stranger.
Leng Xian Ning was completely stung by his eyes, and the arm supporting his body trembled slightly,
"Father, this harem is by no means a place where people can stay, compete for favor and merit, compete for power and profit, even if a person dies, no one will find out, and no one will remember. Father, can you really bear to send Ning'er to such a place where you cannibalize people and don't spit out bones? Without the protection of their father, can they tolerate the willfulness of their sons and the nonsense of their sons? Is the father sure that his son can live in such an indifferent and unforgiving place? Or ······" Leng Xianning paused slightly, her eyes looked at him without blinking, she didn't miss any of his expressions, "It's still my father, I hope that Ning'er will also become the kind of person in the harem who is unscrupulous and has blood on his hands." ”
Baili Yu Xin's body shook for a moment, even the pace under her feet was a little unsteady, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, yes, how can this palace be suitable for Ning'er to live in, if there is no protection from him, can she live so carefree? He ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, and it has been twenty years, and there are countless concubines who have died in the palace, he knows what these represent, but he can't meddle, he can only watch, his Ning'er, the Ning'er he holds in the palm of his hand, can he really adapt to this bloody life?
Seeing that he was still silent, Leng Xianning couldn't hold back any longer, letting the tears rage, just choked up, "Father, do you remember?" You said that you would never force your sons, and you also said that your sons have the right to be the masters of their own marriages. ”
She remembered that she was still happy for her father's favor and deep understanding of righteousness, but why now, he went back on his word, didn't he say nothing?
Baili Yu Xin was shocked, yes, he has said all this, but now it is not what it used to be, as a royal princess, who can really decide his own marriage.
"As a princess, it is your glory to be kind, if you are willful, I will never tolerate it again."
