"Daddy!"
Yuanyuan sat in Caizhi's arms with the kitten in her arms, and yelled unwillingly.
After returning to Wangyue Tower, Pei Zhiyan looked back at her and raised his hand to pinch her face.
“You’ve been shouting all the way, are you thirsty?”
"..."
Yuanyuan turned around, jumped out of Caizhi's arms, and carried the kitten to the side hall.
The child was angry again. Looking at her back, you could see that she was walking very hard, like a cannon shooting into the sky.
"Lord Palmprint, I'm going to see the girl."
Caizhi saluted him and quickly followed him.
"Don't be angry, girl. Maybe Pei Zhangyin doesn't respond to you because he has some difficulties?"
She didn't understand why the palm print suddenly changed its expression, but it didn't look like he was disgusted just now.
"Bad dad ignores me, so I won't ignore him either."
Yuanyuan fed the kitten food from a small plate, her lips pursed straight.
"Don't be angry, it will hurt your health."
Caizhi rubbed her head and saw that she seemed to be getting whiter recently.
The child didn't come out of the side hall until noon. The father and daughter had meals together these two days.
The child suddenly refused to come out, so Xiao Fuzi had no choice but to go in and ask if he wanted to eat separately.
"No need, same as usual."
Pei Zhiyan went to the side hall to look for her. The child was playing with feathers on the couch with the kitten.
"It's time to eat!"
He had never seen a child so easily offended.
I don't know if it's because he has never coaxed anyone before, but he always feels that this child is particularly difficult to coax.
The rebellious Yuanyuan pretended not to hear and continued to tease Xiaobai with the peacock feather in her hand.
This time it was the old man's turn to be shut out.
"Why are you so stingy?"
Pei Zhiyan sat down on the bed and took the peacock feather from her hand.
"Bad dad! Insulting children!"
Yuanyuan saw him raking the floor and leaned back, lying on the bed with all four feet in the air.
"When have I ever slandered you? On the contrary, you lose your temper at every turn. The princes and princesses are not as angry as you."
Pei Zhiyan also had emotions after coaxing her all day long. This time he made up his mind not to lower his head first, but forcefully picked her up from the bed.
As a result, the child looks the same when he is lying on the bed, and he looks the same when he is picked up.
He maintained the same posture, his limbs stiff.
Pei Zhiyan is a very serious person and usually doesn't laugh unless he can't help it.
How could someone be as stiff as a piece of wood?
But the child still had a sullen face and stared at him with his big round eyes.
The little girl's family still has to save some dignity and cannot just carry her out like this.
"Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to call me daddy outside."
"Why can't you scream? Don't you want me?"
Yuanyuan didn't understand the difference between the two and suspected that he disliked her.
"You are still young now. When you grow up, you will understand why I am like this."
Pei Zhiyan had no intention of letting her live in the palace forever. He would let her go out to live in the private residence after a while.
At that time, let her worship her confidant General Liu as her adoptive father. With a good background, she can live a stable life in the future.
"They say they'll know when I grow up, so why can't you tell me now?"
Yuanyuan also heard Admiral Wu say this, but it will take a long time for her to grow up.
"You are still young and don't understand what kind of person I am. If you follow me in a daze, you will regret it later."
Pei Zhiyan knew very well that everything he did now would be recorded in the annals of history and be reviled by future generations.
It is difficult to predict what will happen in the future, if one day he falls from his high position.
What will she suffer as a treacherous adopted daughter?
It was precisely because he treated her as a child that he didn't want her to end up like A Niang.
"I do not regret!"
Daddy is daddy, and she is daddy’s child.
"You just don't understand."
"You just won't like it and don't want me."
"If I didn't like you, I wouldn't plan for you in the future. Please think about it carefully."
Pei Zhiyan threw away his sleeves and left, not expecting her to figure it out. He wanted her to calm down first.
"Ahh..."
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, the cry of a child came from the side hall.
When Pei Zhiyan heard her crying, he felt no better.
It's better to make her sad than to lose her life later.
Watching Palmprint leave, Caizhi quickly went in to coax her.
Yuanyuan twitched and repeated what her father said just now.
Dynasties have changed since ancient times, and no dynasty can last forever.
Now in Daqing, under the control of Pei Zhiyan, the people have long been in dire straits and mourned everywhere.
In recent years, there have been many rebel armies, and under the banner of eliminating castrated dogs and pacifying the world, they have received a lot of response.
Caizhi hated him in her heart because he was cruel and allowed the emperor to harm the palace maids.
Most of the palace maids who had worked with her in better appearance had passed away.
In fact, he was more afraid, worried that one day he would die quietly in the palace.
But listening to what the child said, she actually saw the painstaking efforts of parents in being a child from such a cold-blooded person.
"Girl, Palm Print is a good father, you should listen to him."
Out of her own selfishness, she also wanted the child to live safely.
A child cannot think about the future. Yuanyuan only knew that her father deliberately alienated her.
"well…"
Caizhi sighed, knowing that she couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes children love their parents more than parents love their children.
Maybe if she knows the consequences in the future, she will still choose to stand firmly by Palm Print.
When the little guy got tired of crying, he lay down on the bed and hugged the kitten to sleep.
Pei Zhiyan had been away for five days, and another family of his enemies was wiped out.
He always left without saying a word, and Yuanyuan's mood became extremely low when she saw him no longer in the past few days.
Even though Cai Zhi kept reassuring her that Zhang Yin was going to do something and was not deliberately neglecting her, it still had no effect.
Xiao Fuzi built a rabbit pen in the yard and kept two little rabbits in it. They cleaned it carefully every day to avoid any strange smell.
When Pei Zhiyan stepped into the palace gate, Yuanyuan was bending over to feed rabbits and didn't notice someone walking behind him.
After not seeing her for a few days, she looked a lot more haggard.
Caizhi took the initiative to report Yuanyuan's daily situation to him, and her condition was not very good.
"Why don't you have a good meal?"
Pei Zhiyan originally thought that after five days, the child would not continue to be angry even if he couldn't figure it out.
"I've eaten..."
Yuanyuan touched the rabbit's head with her little hand. She was still angry at first, but suddenly she wasn't so angry anymore when she saw him.
"Eating and eating well are two different things. Even if you are angry, don't treat your body badly."
Pei Zhiyan had nothing to do with her. While he wanted to compete with her, he couldn't bear to see her feel uncomfortable.
He knelt down and wiped the child's hands, then carried her back to the main hall and told Xiao Fuzi to ask the imperial kitchen to make some food.
The child was sitting quietly in his arms, making no sound. He was very well-behaved but also made people feel uneasy.
"Do you know what I've been doing these days?"
"have no idea…"
"I'm going to kill someone. I've killed many people. Yuanyuan, I'm not a good person. I will find a better father for you so that you can live a peaceful and happy life."
Pei Zhiyan thought a lot on the way, but she couldn't understand what he always said he would understand in the future.
Then why not just tell her that she was still young and I only stayed with her for half a month and left an insignificant mark on her life.
These will fade over time and will be forgotten in the future.
