Chapter 1405: Mentioning Marriage Again

"Father..." Zhao Qi also wanted to say something nice for his royal brothers, but was directly interrupted by the old emperor.

"Okay, Qier, don't talk about them. I don't want to have anything to do with them now." The old emperor said.

"But Father, you can't worry about everything by yourself, your body won't be able to bear it." Zhao Qi said worriedly.

"It's okay, my father's body is very strong." The old emperor smiled.

"Tough?" Zhao Qi looked at her father and found that her father's face did not have the weakness of a serious illness. She couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Father, didn't you say you were sick in your letter? ? "Why don't I look like that?"

"What? Are you expecting your father to be seriously ill?" the old emperor said with a deliberately serious face.

"No, I didn't mean that. How could I hope that my father would be seriously ill?" Zhao Qi said anxiously.

"Haha." The old emperor laughed and said, "Okay, my father is joking with you. In fact, my father is not sick."

"You're not sick?" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Father! How could you do this! You've made me worry for so long, and I didn't dare to stay any longer along the way. I rushed back day and night... ..”

As he spoke, Zhao Qi seemed to understand something. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old emperor angrily and said, "Father, you deliberately pretended to be sick to trick me into coming back, didn't you?"

"Yes." The old emperor simply did not continue to deceive Zhao Qi.

"Father, how could you do this?!" Zhao Qi stared at the old emperor angrily.

"If my father doesn't do this, can you come back?" the old emperor asked.

"I...I...then you can't pretend to be sick and lie to me!" Zhao Qi said.

Zhao Qi thought about it in her heart. If her father hadn't pretended to be ill, she really wouldn't have left Qingyuan County, but it was still hard for her to accept being deceived into coming back.

"Okay, don't be angry. It's my father's fault this time. I promise that I will never lie to you again." The old emperor coaxed Zhao Qi.

"Huh, Father, you are so bad!" Zhao Qi snorted coldly.

"Okay, my father is evil and you shouldn't deceive my precious princess." The old emperor was not annoyed and still said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come and talk to your father about whether you have anything to do when you go out this time. If you encounter anything interesting, speaking of it, my father is quite envious of you. At least you have left the palace and this Yanyang City, but your father has never stepped out of this palace since he was born. Everyone in the world They envy me for being the emperor of the Yanfeng Kingdom, the Nine-Fifth Emperor, and being in charge of the huge Yanfeng Kingdom. But I don’t know that I also envy them for being able to live an ordinary life. Although they are not as powerful as me, they live a freer and more peaceful life than me. Relaxed, no worries. ”

As he spoke, the old emperor's face was full of emotion. His expression was filled with regret and yearning. Only in front of Zhao Qi would he show such an expression and such a mentality.

"Father." Zhao Qi felt inexplicably distressed when she saw her father's expression. This palace was like a prison to her father. Of course, for Zhao Qi, this place was actually a special place. Cage, otherwise, she would not want to escape again and again.

Zhao Qi walked to the old emperor's side, held his shoulders, and said: "Father, in fact, ordinary people are not living a satisfactory life now, it can even be said to be miserable. My daughter has been in the palace before, so, I don’t know much about it. I saw a lot of miserable scenes when I went out this time.”

When the old emperor heard Zhao Qi's words, he put away the emotion on his face, regained some domineering power, and said: "Tell me carefully what you saw outside. I also want to know whether the ministers below have deceived me. ”

"good."

Afterwards, Zhao Qi told the old emperor what he saw and heard along the way. Although the old emperor had already known many things through Huang Ze, after all, he was very concerned about Zhao Qi's every move. It can be said that , Huang Ze will report Zhao Qi's situation back at any time.

However, the description in the letter was obviously not as clear and complete as Zhao Qi's own words. From Zhao Qi's words, the old emperor had a better understanding of the situation in the outside world.

"Hmph! Those bastards below really think that I am too old to be of any use, and they still pretend to be peaceful with me. I must kill them!" the old emperor said angrily.

Before, the old emperor was not unaware of the uprising of rebels in their Yanfeng Kingdom, but he did not expect that it had become so serious. The people were displaced. In order to have a bite to eat and sell their children, they dared to kill officials and rebel. It can be said that , what Zhao Qi saw and heard was much more serious than what the old emperor had learned from the officials below.

"Father, don't be angry, not all officials are that stupid." Zhao Qi said: "Wu Fan is very good. Not only did he save his daughter, he also eliminated all the rebels around Qingyuan County. Now The people in Qingyuan County have gradually returned to normal life, which is unmatched by the people in other places. Father, you are so wise to let Wu Fan be the magistrate of Qingyuan County. "

"Are you praising Emperor Fu, or are you praising Wu Fan?" the old emperor said with a smile.

"You all praise me, you all praise me." Zhao Qi said sheepishly, "You are all amazing."

"Haha." The old emperor smiled on his face, but there was no smile at all in his eyes: "Qier, actually, my father asked you to come back this time because he has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qi asked casually.

"Do you still remember that I wanted to find you a consort at your birthday party?" the old emperor said.

"Father, why are you talking about this again?" Zhao Qi frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I say that this matter is not urgent? I want to be with you all the time."

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are not young anymore, and you should also consider marriage. How can you always be with your father?" the old emperor said.

"Father, you pretended to be sick this time and asked me to come back just for this?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Yes." The old emperor said, "Before, you couldn't accept this for a while, and I promised to give you some time to ease it. Now, I think this matter should be settled."

"Father..." Zhao Qi used his ultimate move: acting like a spoiled child.

"It's useless for you to act like a spoiled child this time. Father has made up his mind, and this matter must be settled." The old emperor said seriously.

"Hmph, stinky father! My daughter just won't get married!" Zhao Qi said angrily.

"No! I can't let you do what you want this time. Your marriage must be settled as soon as possible!" The old emperor said sternly.

Zhao Qi looked at her father in a daze. In her memory, her father spoke to her so harshly. There were definitely not many times.

Zhao Qi wanted to refute, but Wu Fan's appearance appeared in her mind, and she blurted out: "It's okay for me to marry someone, I want to choose Wu Fan as my husband!"
