Chapter 1873: Have You Been Treating Me Like An Ancestor?
Chapter 1873: Chapter 1873: Have You Been Treating Me Like An Ancestor?
She also heard that the civil and military ministers of Dongxiao were racking their brains to find ways to have the Emperor Qu Xiao take an Empress and concubines, and it was clear that the daughter of one of these ministers was among the candidates, which displeased her even more.
Then, she realized something and knew that she was jealous—she liked Brother Qu Xiao.
Seeing that their eldest daughter seemed happier and happier looking at the pouch, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
Normally, Xue Yan wasn’t one to lose his temper, and he was an absolutely tender father to his children. However, at that moment, after thinking it over, he still said, “Didn’t you say that you had confessed, but Qu Xiao did not accept? Even if you had early thoughts of him, what use is that?”
Xue Yang thought for a moment and then replied, “I wouldn’t say he didn’t accept. It’s just that he didn’t immediately be with me, which I took as a rejection.”
“What exactly did he say then?” Xue Yan really didn’t know the specifics.
After all, if his eldest daughter hadn’t said anything, both he and his Yue Bao would have had no idea that she had already confessed to Qu Xiao. She had promptly confessed to Qu Xiao as soon as she realized her feelings.
Although Qu Xiao had a good relationship with him and his Yue Bao, given Qu Xiao’s personality, he wasn’t the type to talk about such matters. Qu Xiao had always been tight-lipped.
Thus, the progress between Qu Xiao and his eldest daughter was all known to him and his Yue Bao from what their daughter told them.
Xue Yang recalled for a moment and then said, “At that moment, he hesitated for a while and said he had no such feelings for me. When I asked why he was so nice to me and not to other girls, he said it’s because he had always treated me as a respected ancestor.”
Jiang Yue: “……”
Xue Yan: “……”
Xue Yang: “It seems it’s from the time when he was a kid and came to Da Ling to help take care of me. Because I was too rambunctious and too clever, I left him with a trauma. Back then, I was just a child, and he treated me like a little ancestor. Whatever I wanted, he would give me, which made me happy and his life easier. Now that I’m grown up, naturally, I’ve become the big ancestor.”
Jiang Yue: “……”
Xue Yan: “……”
“Ahem.” Xue Yan coughed before asking, “So what do you plan to do?”
“I don’t plan to do much, I’m not in a hurry.” Xue Yang told the truth. “He only treats me this way, not others. Looking at him, he’s unlikely to fall for another girl. I’ll just wait for him to come to his senses. Besides, he’s the one who’s older, not me. I can wait; sooner or later, he’ll start to worry.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan remained silent. They simultaneously felt that their daughter was quite sly.
“By the way, father, mother,” Xue Yang remembered something, “I want to get involved in politics.”
As the princess royal of Da Ling, especially now that Da Ling had changed and women holding official positions was common, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had been wanting their daughter to get involved in politics for some time now. They even contemplated passing the throne to her, but since she had shown no interest in it, they naturally didn’t press the issue.
But now…
Jiang Yue looked at her beloved eldest daughter: “How come you’re interested now?”
Xue Yang shrugged, “To prepare for when Brother Qu Xiao and I get married. Whether I will inherit the throne of Da Ling or not, if I marry him, won’t I become the Empress of Dongxiao then? Regardless of whether the harem can have a regency role in Dongxiao, understanding a bit of politics is always beneficial.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan… were yet again speechless.
The child was cunning, indeed.
However, it was always better for their child to understand more things, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no objections and nodded in agreement.
