Shangguan Ruoli took a deep breath and advised: "As long as Ling Yao likes it, age and other things can be ignored. Besides, Feng Jinxing will not go anywhere."

Feng Jinxing's appearance is that he is a handsome man even in middle age, and a handsome old man even when he is old.

Dongming Ziyu sneered, "Gu Ke can't stand a son-in-law who is two years younger than him calling him father-in-law. Are you willing to let a man who is two years older than you call you mother-in-law?"

"..." Shangguan Ruoli was embarrassed.

Ling Yao, who was outside the door, walked in and knelt on the ground.

Dongming Ziyu had long known that Ling Yao was outside, so he was not surprised to see her at this time. He just sat there with a cold face and said nothing.

Shangguan Ruoli stretched out his hand to help Ling Yao up, "Get up quickly and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Ling Yao did not get up, but kowtowed and said: "It's because my daughter is unfilial and has put her father, the emperor, and her mother in trouble. It's okay for her not to marry Feng Jin. The marriage is decided by her father, the emperor, and the empress."

Her face was calm, her eyes were calm, and she looked resigned to her fate.

If she cried, Dongming Ziyu would feel better, but being so sensible made him feel distressed and angry.

Shangguan Ruoli held Ling Yao in his arms and comforted her softly, "Okay, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, "It's not her fault? Is it Gu's fault? Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the matchmaker? What kind of rules are there in our family? Can children be allowed to act recklessly? Is Gu still the head of the family?

"

At the end of the sentence, there was a bit of grievance in his voice.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that he had said the wrong thing and said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?" Dongming Ziyu was really angry.

Who is he working so hard for?

Is he harming his precious daughter?

How did he end up becoming a villain?

Ling Yao hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "It's all the daughter's fault that the father is angry. The daughter will never dare to do it again. Please don't blame the queen, and forgive the queen for her momentary gaffe."

Shangguan Ruoli also admitted his mistake honestly and said: "I said the wrong thing, please don't be angry."

This was the first time that Dongming Ziyu saw his wife and daughter being so cautious in front of him, which made him feel even more unhappy.

"Since you regard me as a villain, I will treat you as a villain to the end!" After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Shangguan Ruoli sighed and sat down on the couch slumped.

This is the first big turmoil in the family in so many years.

Ling Yao's eyes darkened, she walked to Shangguan Ruoli on her knees and choked with sobs: "Mother, please don't be sad. It's all because of the unfilial daughter. She knows she's wrong, so be it."

Shangguan Ruoli pulled Ling Yao up and said, "Take this matter slowly. Your father is also doing it for your own good. Don't resent him."

Ling Yao hurriedly said: "My daughter doesn't dare, no, my daughter won't. My daughter knows that her father loves her daughter very much, and everything is for her daughter's happiness."

My daughter is so sensible that it makes Shangguan Ruoli's nose sore.

The mother and daughter talked about themselves for a while, but Ling Yao kept explaining to Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli was so moved that he cried. He sent Ling Yao back to Cardamom Palace, and then sent someone to inquire about Dongming Ziyu's whereabouts, only to learn that he had left the palace.

When he came back very late in the evening, he ignored Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli tried to please him and admitted his mistake, but he didn't get anyone to look at him rightly. Knowing that he was really sad, he didn't have the same understanding as him, and he couldn't please him either. He treated him with a normal attitude.

Dongming Ziyu slowly responded to her, but deliberately avoided Ling Yao's question.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal, except for Ling Yao's silence all day long and her increasingly thin figure, which made everyone feel very depressed.

Ling Yao asked Xueqiu to deliver a letter to Feng Jinxing, and then stayed in the harem, not even going to Tai Hospital and Huichun Medical Center.

Feng Jinxing was extremely worried, and he couldn't see Ling Yao, so he could only worry.

Fortunately, Xueqiu is sensible and has a good relationship with Feng Jinxing since he was a child, so he has become Feng Jinxing's little messenger.

Feng Jinxing knew that it was against the rules to give or receive privately, but he knew from Xueqiu that Ling Yao's condition was not good, so he asked Xueqiu to bring snacks and trinkets to Ling Yao.

He didn't dare to let Xueqiu bring letters or other things expressing his love. If someone knew about it, it wouldn't matter to him as a man. It would be bad if it affected Ling Yao's reputation.

Ling Yao originally wanted to give up, but Xueqiu would bring back some of her favorite snacks and gadgets every day, making her unable to put them down and could only cry silently.

Now, the situation has reversed from Ling Yao pursuing Feng Jinxing, to Feng Jinxing pursuing Ling Yao.

Jing Yu watched the changes quietly and let nature take its course. Anyway, he had already told Dongming Ziyu what needed to be said. If Ling Yao and Feng Jinxing gave up because of obstacles, it also meant that they were not determined enough and they were not destined to be together.

Jing Xi and Jing Yang were young and couldn't figure out who was right or wrong, and they didn't express their opinions. They played tricks with Ling Yu every day, teasing Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yao.

Time passes like this day by day, the Longevity Festival is coming, and missions from various countries are also arriving one after another.

This time, not only the neighboring countries Xirong and Beiling came, but also Wusun Kingdom, Qiuci Kingdom, and Beiling's neighboring Rakshasa Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Regardless of whether the other party comes to test or make friends, it shows that Da Ming's prosperity has aroused the other party's fear.

The capital was also more lively than ever, because people from the Western Regions and the Rakshasa Kingdom had deep eyes and high noses, and the color of their hair and eyes were also very special. Their appearance was very different from the people from the Canglan Continent.

While the people watched curiously, some businessmen also sensed business opportunities and prepared Daming's specialties to do business with them.

The missions from the Western Regions and Rakshasa also brought a large number of local commodities, exchanged them with local merchants, and reached a cooperation agreement.

As the prime minister, Feng Jinxing was too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Even so, he asked Xueqiu to send some fresh gadgets to Ling Yao every day.

Wen Xiaonian also arrived, and Ling Yao asked Wu Xiaoke to greet her outside the city with Jing Xi and Jing Yang on her behalf.

The next day, Wen Xiaonian went into the palace and asked to see Ling Yao and Shangguan Ruoli.

Ling Yao met Wen Xiaonian, also known as Xirong Wennian, in the reception room of Songhe Palace.

In three years, the young man seemed to have grown up by dozens of years. His temperament became more stable, his eyes were unfathomable, and he was enveloped in a noble and majestic temperament, which made the young man even more outstanding and eye-catching.

He was almost thirteen years old, and his voice had changed, "I've met the eldest princess!"

When he saw Ling Yao, his eyes glowed with joy, and he immediately noticed that Ling Yao seemed to be very unhappy, with a slight sadness in her eyes.

Just asked: "Are you... okay?"

Ling Yao smiled and said: "Very good, it seems you are doing well."

Wen Xiaonian smiled bitterly and said, "Still alive."

Jing Xi smiled and said: "To live is to hope."

Jingyang asked: "Tell us about the envoys from the Western Regions this time."

Xirong had reached cooperation with Wusun, Qiuci and Yanqi in the Western Regions a few years ago and knew them well.
