Chapter 1151: How About Becoming My Adopted Daughter?
Yuan Ruxin stood at the stern of the ship, waving both hands towards Bai Zhi’er, bathed in brilliant sunlight."Sister Zhi’er, be sure to visit Yan Country to see me, I will wait for you!"
After she sailed far away, Bai Zhi’er turned back: "Let’s go back too!"
The Song Family’s property was seized and confiscated by the court.
Long Xiyuan bestowed another residence as a token of gratitude to Bai Zhi’er.
Now they temporarily lived there.
Feng Fuce naturally took her hand, and the two walked along the street against the wind.
His indifferent voice came from the side: "Is he particularly concerned about you?"
Bai Zhi’er’s long lashes quivered: "Are you talking about Wei Mingyang? Certainly not, Ruxin was just chatting wildly, don’t take her seriously."
Feng Fuce scoffed: "I only remembered after she mentioned it. When I went to his house for the banquet, he did indeed want to follow you around."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her round eyes, how could she detect such a strong displeasure in Feng Fuce’s tone?
This wasn’t like before.
His emotions were never displayed so obviously.
Feng Fuce’s eyes were deep, and his tone was calm: "Shall we punish him a little?"
Bai Zhi’er immediately hugged his arm.
"No way!"
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Do you feel sorry for him?"
Bai Zhi’er laughed and cried at the same time.
How did this relate to feeling sorry?
She explained clearly: "Of course not, I feel sorry for Song Qingrui."
"After the downfall of Prince Li Zheng Mansion and Duke Huan Mansion, she was the only one who remained clear-headed."
"Now she has to take care of her sick mother and grandmother every day, and still find time to wash clothes for her foolish sister."
"Fortunately, two loyal servants stayed to help her cook; otherwise, carrying such a heavy burden alone, I don’t know if she could bear it."
"If Wei Mingyang also had problems, there really would be no one to earn a living in their family."
Feng Fuce, hearing this, showed a gentle amusement in his eyes.
He spoke casually and never intended to truly trouble Wei Mingyang.
He’s merely a mortal, and his Little Heavenly Dao wouldn’t care for him.
But when Bai Zhi’er hugged his arm, looking up and speaking to him like she was playfully begging, he found it delightful.
Before going home, Feng Fuce took Bai Zhi’er to buy some pastries she liked.
The two of them also went for a walk by the lake.
It was almost evening by the time they planned to return home.
However, when they arrived home, they found the Chief Eunuch from Long Xiyuan’s side accompanied by a group of Imperial Guards waiting in the courtyard for them.
Seeing Bai Zhi’er return, the Chief Eunuch walked forward with a smile, very respectfully.
"The Princess has returned."
When Bai Zhi’er heard this address, she immediately became wary.
Had her identity as a princess been discovered?
Bai Xingye approached from the side, pulling her aside to explain in a low voice—
"Sister, you’re finally back. They have been waiting here for two hours."
"The Emperor of Great Qin, Long Xiyuan, has said he wants to adopt you as his goddaughter and has already bestowed upon you the title of Princess Ningding."
"This news has already spread, and I reckon, the Imperial Uncle will definitely know that you’ve run off to Great Qin and become someone else’s goddaughter!"
Bai Xingye could already imagine Bai Xilie’s expression.
His well-behaved daughter said she was going out to play, and somehow returned with a godfather from another country.
Bai Zhi’er was utterly astonished.
The Chief Eunuch clasped his hands: "Please accept the decree, Princess."
Bai Zhi’er hurriedly shook her head: "How can this be, he didn’t even discuss it with me."
The Chief Eunuch looked awkward: "But Princess..."
To be recognized as a goddaughter by the Emperor is something many people could only dream of?
Yet Miss Jing seemed less than willing.
At this moment, Long Xiyuan’s voice came from the door—
"I guessed it, why did delivering a decree take two hours without a return, surely you are hesitant to agree."
"Zhi’er, is it not good to be my goddaughter? I have no children, nor will I in the future; in this life, you are my only daughter."
