Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Extra

Daddy left.

But I have another father, who dotes on me. Everyone knows that I am the most beloved daughter of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Mother has always refused to enter the palace. I would wait for her on the bridge every morning. The little palace maid would hold an umbrella for me. I would eat my favorite osmanthus cake, put my feet on the railing, and sway.

A group of servants around me also swayed nervously.

Usually, when I counted the pebbles in the river, my mother would arrive.

At that time, I would throw myself into my mother's arms like a happy little bird. My mother would hold my little hand and ask me how I slept last night.

I pouted and said that I didn't sleep well because I missed my mother too much. My mother would pinch my face distressedly and stay in my palace to accompany me that night.

My classes were also very busy. Although my father doted on me, he did not delay my classes at all. I studied in the morning and practiced horse riding and archery in the afternoon. I heard someone complain that she was just a woman, how could His Majesty treat her like the crown prince.

In fact, I did not understand the meaning of this sentence at the beginning, but gradually I understood that my father did not accept beauties, my mother did not want to enter the palace, and the emperor had only me as his heir.

The teacher my father invited for me was very serious at the beginning. When he spoke, his white beard was wiggling. He would always deliberately make things difficult for me, such as asking me to recite an article after reading it once.

In fact, I could recite it, but I hated his contemptuous but helpless look.

I would complain to my father without hesitation.

My father was a generous master, but he did not compromise on my affairs.

My father scolded the teacher severely and punished him to kneel on the ground, saying that he was disrespectful to the princess.

Every time at this time, I would walk back and forth in front of the teacher and deliberately recite the article he asked me to recite in front of him.

Looking at his face, from depression to surprise, there was a pleasure of revenge.

I know they all despise me for being a girl. Those ministers who advise the emperor would ask my father to take concubines to expand his heirs almost every few days.

My father was indifferent. I knew he was waiting for my mother.

Sometimes I would go out of the palace to live with my mother. My mother opened a restaurant where I could play and stay from morning to night, eating from glutinous rice balls to hot pot.

It made me linger.

The world outside the palace was colorful, and I seemed to have become that free bird again.

But I would go back after a few days. I knew that in the palace that seemed too empty because there were no relatives, there was only my father.

Gradually, the ministers no longer had extravagant hopes that the emperor would expand his harem, but instead praised my intelligence.

I also felt that I was quite remarkable. There was nothing I didn't know about music, chess, calligraphy, and martial arts.

All kinds of girls from noble families and beautiful young men began to gather around me.

I would start a topic appropriately for them to talk about, and I would also praise the decency and dress of the young men from noble families.

Over time, they all said that the princess was a very kind master.

In fact, they don't know that I am almost bored to death.

They are boring. I always think of the boy I met when I was a child. Sometimes, he knows what I am talking about as soon as I start talking.

Daddy took him away. He said he was taking him to treat his illness.

At first, Daddy would write to me, but later on, he wrote less and less. There has been no news in the past few years.

I secretly guessed that he was dead. At that time, the imperial physician had predicted that he would not live for too long.

Daddy might be too sad?

Did Daddy forget that he has a daughter?

That day, I was in my mother's restaurant, lying on the railing on the second floor and looking out. People were coming and going outside, so lively. This is why I like the outside of the palace.

I don't like too many people following me.

So my servants would try their best to hide themselves.

I just pretended that there was no one here, only me.

A corner of the brocade quilt on my clothes fell down and was blown up by the wind outside the railing. I was so bored that I wanted to grab it.

But I met a pair of focused eyes.

He was a thin boy with handsome features, especially a pair of eyes, which were particularly beautiful, with the clarity unique to young people, but when you look deeply, you will feel that it is unfathomable like a deep pool.

The boy wore a long green gown, with an upright posture. Although he was thin, he had a kind of tenacious temperament.

I know that if my mother was here, she would definitely ask whose handsome boy this was?

If my father was here, he would say, not even one tenth of me, when will Ayu go to treat his eye disease?

Then the two of them would quarrel.

In fact, I know that my father did it on purpose. He always tried to attract my mother's attention.

When he went to court, he would specifically ask my mother about it. After a long time, the ministers also noticed it.

The two of them had a verbal battle in the court every day, and argued in front of me after leaving the court.

Many people asked me to promote my mother and father.

But I always think of my father. Will my father be sad?

In recent years, the governance of the Jin Dynasty has been getting better and better. Although the two always quarrel, their political views are always led by my mother.

My father likes to fulfill my mother's long-cherished wish.

The taxes of the common people were reduced again and again, and merchants and people going out to sea were encouraged. When my father brought me into the palace, I remember that the common people were still wearing linen clothes, but when I grew up and went in and out of the palace, they already had cotton clothes to wear.

My mother did a lot of things, and in fact, she was out most of the time. At that time, I would go to the city wall to wait for her, and then I would see my tanned mother, smiling and hugging me.

My father actually wanted to wait for my mother, but there were too many people staring at him. I knew that he had changed into ordinary clothes and hid in the doorway behind me.

On my 15th birthday, the court finally opened the imperial examination for women.

In fact, at this time, the relationship between men and women was not as tense as before, because there were many capable female officials in the court.

My father brought me to the court and asked me to select the top scholar of that session.

She was a slightly older woman, not very good-looking, with calluses on her hands, but she was energetic and her eyes were clear, which made people admire her.

This person has been known as a child prodigy since she was a child, and there are few problems that stump her.

It’s just that being a woman in this world always has a harder time. She got married, divorced, and severed ties with her family, all of which were criticized.

But she did a lot for the people of the court. Before she became the top scholar, she was her mother’s most capable subordinate.

The young man downstairs smiled at me and said loudly, "Ah Qing, is that you?"

A familiar man walked behind him. My eyes were wet and I shouted angrily, "Daddy! Have you forgotten about your daughter?"

The man was wearing a Taoist robe and looked quite immortal. "How could it be, isn't Daddy back?"

"This is a gift for you."

I looked at the clay figurine in his hand and remembered that I liked it the most when I was a child, so I jumped down from the upstairs.

Daddy exclaimed, the young man panicked, I smiled triumphantly, and finally the three of us piled up in a pile.

Daddy wanted to hug me, and the young man wanted to use himself as a cushion. I was afraid of pressing them, so I gently moved to the side. Daddy pulled

us and the three of us piled up together. Finally, the three of us laughed out loud, and I felt that this day had become interesting.

Mom came out to greet Daddy, and the five of us went into the restaurant's private room, which was a place only Mom and I could stay in and had never been used by others.

Mom and Daddy chatted alone in the small room inside, and the young man and I stared at each other.

"My name is Du Fu now

," I said, "This name is really ugly."

Du Fu said helplessly, "Father said that this word Fu has prolonged my life, and he refused to change my name."

I laughed out loud.

I felt that the him I once knew was back.

We talked about poetry and songs, and all the things we were interested in. He could accurately grasp every time my thoughts jumped, and I felt that his incredible dreams were justifiable.

Until one day, my father asked me seriously. "Anyone can do it, but he can't."

"Why?"

"His mother's death is related to your father. I don't want someone with ulterior motives around you."

In fact, I remember everything that happened that year. This is the trouble with having a good memory. I still remember the last conversation between me and Ah Fu.

I had many reasons to convince my father, but I only said one sentence. "I don't like you anymore."

My father's eyes were red.

I was a little soft-hearted. My father worked hard all his life, but his only weakness was me.

I was his treasure.

My father couldn't bear to see me sad, so he agreed reluctantly.

After Ah Fu and I got together, I often went out. Maybe I was not in Beijing, but my mother and father got together unexpectedly. Once when I came back from outside, I saw my mother living in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Later I learned that my father told him how to write the mother's identity in the document for establishing the Crown Princess? Mother agreed.

Later, Ah Fu and I had our first child. As for Ah Fu's father, my daddy Du Haoyu? He went to travel. Since he brought Ah Fu back, he seemed to have unloaded the responsibilities on his shoulders and has not been seen for many years.

But mother and father never gave me brothers and sisters.

Mother said that father had no children, and you were the only one.

That year, I held my daughter and took Ah Fu out of the palace. Father and mother followed behind. The two of us held hands quietly, and Ah Fu also held mine quietly.

I really hope that days like this can go on forever.

The sun was really warm that day.
