"Lu'er, thank you, daddy!" Xia Zhilu raised a pretty smile and thanked Xia Zhihe happily.
Xia Zhihe looked at his daughter's outstanding appearance and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. The same smile was on his face, and she looked really affectionate and beautiful.
"I have to worry about Madam Zhang'er's affairs. He has reached the age where we should talk about marriage. During the banquet, we will take the two siblings to walk around more and let them have a good look at each other." Xia Zhihe turned around. He warned Li.
"Don't worry, sir, they just popped out of my belly. I'm worried about you." Mrs. Li responded with a smile on her face. She was proud to have such a pair of children. There are so many ladies and ladies in Beijing. But they were all jealous of her, not only were they surrounded by children, but they also had a husband who doted on them so much.
How many aristocratic families have their inner residences filled with smoky atmosphere? Ladies fight with concubines and husbands all day long, how can she live a happy and sweet life?
Xia Zhihe felt a lot more relieved when she heard what she said, and then reminded her in a subtle way: "On the other hand, at the banquet, you must remember to beat her more, don't let her spoil our important event."
Although these words were secret, Mrs. Li understood them. She was asked to warn that little bitch!
Why bother? He's just a lowly child who will die sooner or later! How could she let that woman's child continue to disgust her in the world?
"Don't worry, sir. I will keep everything you ordered in mind." Mrs. Li agreed with a smile on her face, and there was no sign of anything strange at all.
Seeing this, Xia Zhihe nodded with satisfaction, said a few more words to Mr. Li, then got up and prepared to leave: "I'll come back to rest in the evening."
Seeing Xia Zhihe's meaningful gaze, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She looked back at Xia Zhihe with a little more eager eyes, and she hurriedly agreed.
Xia Zhihe felt proud. Not many women could escape such an offensive. Then he turned to Xia Zhilu and said, "Is Lu'er sending daddy off?"
"Okay." Xia Zhilu was a little surprised, but she quickly agreed. She knew that her father had something to say to her.
The father and daughter left the main house together and walked through the corridors. The servants left behind them, leaving them enough private space to talk.
"Lu'er is now sixteen years old. Daddy hasn't chatted with you for a few days, but has he fallen in love with someone recently?" Xia Zhihe asked in a very easy-going manner, like a loving father caring for his daughter.
"Daddy!" Xia Zhilu didn't expect that Xia Zhihe would ask her this question, so she immediately called out shyly.
Seeing that his daughter was shy, Xia Zhihe laughed happily, and then quietly changed the subject of the conversation, leading to the purpose of his conversation with Xia Zhilu: "Did you attend your sister's wedding banquet a few days ago? Have you seen Prince An?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhihe paid close attention to Xia Zhilu's reaction. Unexpectedly, he actually got some clues.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xia Zhilu couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She bit her lip and her heart was full of displeasure. The position of Princess An was supposed to be hers! In the end, that despicable woman took it away! How could that woman be worthy of Prince An? !
Ever since she met Prince An, these days she would always think of Prince An's handsome and god-like face, his inviolable dignity, mighty and imposing appearance. Such a rare man in the world should have been her Xia Zhilu Husband!
"I saw it." Xia Zhilu's voice almost came out from between her teeth, and anyone could see her dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Xia Zhihe couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said casually, "Have you heard about the rumors about Prince An's Mansion in Beijing these days?"
Xia Zhilu was stunned and immediately thought of the crazy rumors. How could she not know about it?
"What did daddy say about my sister's inability to conceive children?" Although she was extremely reluctant to call that woman her sister, after all, she was in front of Xia Zhihe at this moment, so Xia Zhilu still endured it.
"It's not just a matter of heirs, but also about Prince An's concubine." Xia Zhihe looked at Xia Zhilu thoughtfully, his words full of hints.
Xia Zhilu never expected that Xia Zhihe would actually talk to her about this matter. Looking at the look in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and the next moment it became hot. That handsome and flawless face flooded into her mind. Also lingering.
Could it be...could it be that father actually meant that? Is it what you think?
Xia Zhilu was nervous, excited, and a little unsure. She carefully confirmed: "Sister, is it true that she is infertile? What does daddy mean...?"
"It doesn't matter whether your sister can have children or not. What's important is your own will." After seeing Xia Zhilu's reaction just now, Xia Zhihe was already sure in his heart and said deliberately, "Dad and your sister are not the same." My dear, your sister has been complaining about her father and the entire Xia family in recent years, and has been holding her back in every possible way. How can he continue to support her? It’s just a pity that such a good marriage has been completed. The position of Princess An is originally It should be yours, Lu'er, hey!"
When Xia Zhilu heard this, she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes, yes! This should have been hers!
"Daddy..."
"Even the prince's concubine has an extremely noble status. Your sister is in poor health and has been poisoned for so many years. How long can her body last? If the concubine is the first to give birth to the eldest son, once your sister dies, With the eldest son at his side, the position of princess must fall on the side concubine." Xia Zhihe shook his head pretending to be regretful.
Xia Zhilu had always been obsessed with Prince An, and she was also worried about the position of princess that should belong to her. Now when she heard what Xia Zhihe said, she could not hold back. She immediately gritted her teeth and said with a serious look on her face: "Dad! Daughter! I am willing to share my worries for my father! I am willing to do my best for the family!"
Seeing Xia Zhilu's determined look, Xia Zhihe couldn't help but smile, and it turned out to be true!
At the wedding banquet before, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Xia Zhilu's expression. Today's test revealed that it was true. Since she was willing, there was no need for the Li family to worry!
"Good! She is indeed Daddy's good daughter!" Xia Zhihe immediately said with a smile on his face, "Actually, Daddy was very optimistic about this marriage before. He also saw Prince An's appearance and thought it would be a good match."
"Then why..." Xia Zhilu bit her lip and endured her complaints without speaking out, but how could she not hear the dissatisfaction in her tone?
Xia Zhihe glanced at the servants who were some distance behind him, and then lowered his voice and said: "Forget about the past, just work hard next. As long as Lu'er remembers, dad will definitely help you, but this matter is... You can’t tell your mother.”
