Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand: "I understand the emperor's intentions, but an emotional guarantee is the most unreliable guarantee in the world. I'm not doubting the emperor, but human nature is like this. If Sister Yi is hurt in the future and doesn't want to be a caged sparrow in the harem, she won't be bothered to deal with the other women around the emperor. She won't even have a family to go back to. "
Qin Yining heard this and closed her eyes. Her tears couldn't help but flow out.
Qin Huaiyuan continued: "It's not that I don't love the vast land and it's not that I don't understand the inconvenience and hardships of life in Xi Yue. But I am a father. The way I love my daughter is to give her a family she can go back to. Xi Yue's terrain is dangerous and there are large amounts of resources that can be developed. It's not impossible for it to become the overlord of the desert in the future. If my daughter wants to go home, I will take her back. Even if she leaves you, I can let my daughter live a good life. Even if you have millions of soldiers, the desert is a natural barrier, and you don't have a guide. You may not be able to get any benefits in Xi Yue. "
"In-law … …" When Madam Ma heard the killing intent in Qin Huaiyuan's words, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Empress Dowager Yao sharply said: "You're too rude to speak like this. Are you putting the current emperor in your eyes? "
Qin Huaiyuan's smile was still as strong as before: "This old man has guarded the etiquette between a ruler and a minister for my entire life. How could I not understand? I'm speaking to my daughter and son-in-law as a father. "
After saying this, Qin Huaiyuan walked in front of Qin Yining.
Qin Yining stood up and looked up at her father. Her father's large hand fell on her temples and then pinched her cheeks.
"Silly girl, you don't need to worry or panic. Just stay here and live peacefully with the emperor. In the future, if someone hurts your heart and makes you feel that your love has come to an end, that your family can't be maintained, or that there's no hope in the harem, you don't need to feel despair. You don't need to foolishly stay on an isolated island. Father and your mother will be in the desert. If you're unhappy, you can go home. "
Qin Yining closed her eyes and tears fell like rain: "Father!"
"Good boy. Good girl. "Qin Huaiyuan also had tears in his eyes.
Because if they were to part today and meet again in the future, it wouldn't be as simple as stepping out of one door or entering another. However, they had been traveling non-stop, and the number of days they could see each other every year could be counted on one's fingers.
How many years do I have left in this life? However, the time they spent together as father and daughter was probably less than a year.
This was the sorrow of every parent.
But he couldn't disregard his child's future just for the sake of reuniting.
The members of the Sun Clan came forward and sobbed as they hugged Qin Yining. "Sister Yi, my son!"
"Mother, can you not leave? Father, I understand what you mean and what you're worried about. But I promise that I'm not that weak. Can you stay in the capital? "
Qin Huaiyuan just shook his head with a smile.
The Sun Clan member sobbed and whispered into Qin Yining's ear, "Your father is right. You must have a way out."
"I won't! I came back home when I was 14 years old, and we've only known each other for eight years! How many days have I spent by your side during these eight years of wandering about in a miserable state? If you leave now, you'll have a long road ahead. How many more days can we see each other in this life? It wasn't easy for me to grit my teeth and persevere until now because I want to be with you without any scruples in the future. No one can harm our family anymore. Why can't I do something as simple as this? "
Qin Yining hugged the Sun Clan member and sobbed. Her voice changed as she cried, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet in dissatisfaction.
The Sun Clan member closed her eyes and cried even louder.
Seeing their mother like this, Brother Zhao and Brother Han also shed tears.
Pang Xiao had never seen Qin Yining so sad. He patted her shoulder to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say or do. He only felt helpless.
At this moment, even if he gave his heart out, he couldn't stop Qin Huaiyuan.
This was because from Qin Huaiyuan's point of view, everything he considered was reasonable and well-founded. He wanted to separate from Qin Yining, not because he didn't love his daughter, but because he loved her too much. He would rather work hard in the desert to give Qin Yining a backer.
Such fatherly love made Pang Xiao feel emotional and envious, but he also felt helpless.
Now that he was in this position, his father-in-law, who treated him like a teacher and a father, could no longer fully trust his feelings for Qin Yining.
Mrs. Ma was already in tears. She got up and put her arm around Qin Yining's shoulder. "Little Yi, don't cry. Your parents are doing this for you. I know you're sad, but if you're like this, won't your parents be even sadder? As parents, we're all doing this for our children. You're a mother, so you should know that your parents have already made up their minds. "
Qin Yining's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She lowered her head and nodded after a long while.
Seeing Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er hugging her legs on both sides, she touched her children's heads with tears streaming down her face.
Han Ge 'er looked up at Qin Yining and said, "Mother, don't cry. If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll beat them to death! "
Qin Yining couldn't help but chuckle when he heard those childish words.
However, Zhao Ge 'er put on a serious face and said, "That's not right. What if Grandmother bullies Mother? What if Father bullies Mother? What if Father's concubine bullies Mother in the future? Can you beat them to death one by one? "
Han Ge 'er's eyes widened and he was suddenly stumped. It seemed a little inappropriate to beat his own grandmother and father to death.
Zhao Ge 'er took two steps back, then gave Qin Yining and Pang Xiao a big bow with his small body.
"Father, Mother, Zhao Ge 'er wants to go to Xiyue with Grandfather."
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining turned pale with fright.
"Zhao Ge 'er, why do you say that? Don't you like being by Father and Mother's side? "
Qin Yining's hands and feet were cold. She didn't personally take care of the children since they were young. She always felt guilty and worried that the children wouldn't want to be close to her. Now that Zhao Ge 'er said he wanted to go to Xiyue, how could she be willing?
Zhao Ge 'er's childish voice was sonorous and powerful as he said, "Niangqin, I am an adult. When Grandfather taught the 《Strategy for War of the Nation》, he mentioned that it was Master Zuo who advised Empress Dowager Zhao. Empress Dowager Zhao favored Lord Chang 'an and gave him a generous salary, a fertile land, and an endless supply of jewels. In the beginning, she refused to give him a chance to make a name for himself. If a person didn't have any achievements, but had so many treasures, then that was … that was what Grandfather said, his virtue didn't match his position. No matter how much land and jewelry he has, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.
"I know that I am Father Emperor's son. In the future, Father Emperor will have many sons. I like Xiyue very much, and I also like Grandfather's teachings. Although it's good to be by Father and Mother's side, I don't want to be a useless person who is spoiled. I want to be the emperor of Xiyue in the future! "
Everyone was stunned.
No one would have thought that a five year old child would say such words!
The child tilted his head. It seemed that he wasn't used to speaking so much in one breath. His face was a little red, which made the small red mole between his eyebrows even brighter.
However, he still maintained his kneeling posture. Although his body was small, it showed the tenacity of a sprout that had just broken through the soil.
"Right now we are so weak. If someone bullies Mother, we can only send people to beat them up. But what if I am the emperor of Xiyue? " Zhao Ge 'er bared his teeth at Empress Dowager Yao, "Grandmother, your son is the emperor. My mother's son will also be the emperor in the future. No one is weaker than the other!"
"You, you!" Empress Dowager Yao was so angry that she fell backwards. She couldn't quarrel with a child, so she could only fiercely grind her teeth.
Zhao Ge 'er was more sensitive than Han Ge' er. He always knew that their grandmother didn't like them. She often said some unpleasant words in front of them. What unknown origin, what confused bloodlines, and so on. Although he didn't know much, he knew that it wasn't anything good.
Now that he saw his mother being bullied like this, and even his maternal grandfather and grandmother had to return to Xiyue, he also revealed his cold baby teeth!
Empress Dowager Yao was angry, but the others didn't think so.
Pang Xiao first pursed his lips to hold back his laughter as he listened to the child's bold words. In the end, he actually laughed out loud and picked up the child.
The child's serious and cold appearance was broken on the spot, "Father! Don't mess around! "
"Hahaha!" Pang Xiao finally couldn't help but laugh, "Good, good, you are father's good son. You have ambition!"
Zhao Ge 'er's face was red. Empress Dowager Yao's face was white with anger.
Qin Yining stood in place helplessly, tightly holding the hands of the Sun Clan and Han Ge 'er.
Rationally, it was rare for a five year old child to think so much. She felt that there was a certain reason. As parents, they shouldn't be too arbitrary and should respect their children. But emotionally, she was reluctant. After all, the child was still young. She couldn't bear to part with him!
Qin Huaiyuan came forward with a smile and rubbed Zhao Ge 'er's head with his big hand, "You've decided? Xiyue's scenery isn't as good as here. Perhaps the food here isn't as good as here. Moreover, you have to separate from Han Ge 'er and your parents. What will you do if you miss them? "
"I can write a letter." Zhao Ge 'er said firmly, "There's nothing bad about Xiyue. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if someone wants to attack us, grandfather can defend."
Pang Xiao loved this son to death. Wouldn't it be a pity if such an excellent child didn't inherit the throne?
But he also knew that the reason why the child could have such thoughts at such a young age was all because of Qin Huaiyuan's good teaching.
This child's talent was so high. If he stayed by his side, he was afraid that it would delay him.
The originally sad atmosphere was disturbed by Zhao Ge 'er. Qin Yining didn't know whether he should be sad that his parents wanted to return to Xiyue or sad that his child didn't want to stay.
However, whether it was Qin Huaiyuan or Zhao Ge 'er, they were both equally stubborn. Qin Yining couldn't stop either of them. After the banquet ended, she returned to her bedchamber and silently grieved.
Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er held hands and hid in a corner to whisper.
The two children didn't have the slightest bit of sadness or reluctance to part. Instead, they were like little foxes who succeeded in their schemes.
"Niangqin is too easy to bully. I think that in the future, even if Father doesn't take a concubine, Grandmother will bully Niangqin. I have to watch out."
"Ai!" The two children sighed in unison.
"I'll stay here with Father and learn more martial arts from Father, Uncle Ji and Uncle Mu. You also learn more from Grandfather and Grandmother Cao. In the future, I'll teach you and you'll teach me. Let's exchange. I'll write more letters to you."
"I'll also write more letters to you." Zhao Ge 'er nodded heavily.
Han Ge 'er stretched out his little finger, "Pinky swear."
