Ye Zhen left after finishing speaking. Murong Ke stood on the spot and looked at her back silently. The scene of meeting her now appeared in his mind bit by bit. It felt like a lifetime ago, and it just happened yesterday. All the memories related to her are so deep and vivid, and they are the most colorful memories in his life.
I don't know how long it took before Murong Ke came back to his senses, Ye Zhen was no longer in sight.
He laughed at himself, knowing her feelings for Murong Zhan, but he still didn't give up, he couldn't even look at her anymore, his persistence must have made her feel uncomfortable.
He had known a long time ago that she was a soft-hearted woman.
It's a pity that she never softened her heart to him.
Even if she showed the slightest hesitation towards him, he would keep her by his side desperately.
But she has always been cruel to him.
"Father..." Mingyu didn't know when he came, and looked at him cautiously outside the door.
Murong Ke suppressed the soreness in his heart, and the sadness in his eyes was replaced by calmness, "Mingyu, come here."
Mingyu came to Murong Ke's side with a smile, and took the initiative to hold her hand, "Father, is that... gone?"
"Is it fun to go to the temple fair yesterday?" Murong Ke took Mingyu to sit inside and asked Ford to fetch Mingyu's favorite snacks.
"It's fun." Mingyu's eyes sparkled, "Mio made several wishing lamps for me, and I put them in the wishing pool. I wish that my father will live a long and healthy life, and I will be with Mingyu for the rest of my life."
Murong Ke laughed softly, "Your life should be accompanied by others."
Mingyu's expression changed, "Father doesn't want Mingyu?"
"No, I am your father. When you get married in the future, you will be someone else's little girl." Murong Ke lovingly rubbed Mingyu's head. Mingyu is his niece. He already regarded Mingyu as his own daughter.
"I just want to be with my father." Mingyu said seriously, then hesitated, "And Yan Xiaoliu."
Murong Ke chuckled, "Did you see Yan Xiaoliu yesterday?"
Mingyu nodded lightly, "I also met Mioer."
"Who is Mio'er?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
"She is an orphan, she was brought back by her uncle, and now she is living in... Prince Qin's Mansion, and she has been with her brother." Mingyu said.
Why did Ye Chunnan bring an orphan back and let her live in the Prince Qin's Mansion? It's probably because the orphan has something to do with Ye Zhen and the others.
"Did you live in Prince Qin's Mansion yesterday?" Murong Ke asked with a smile.
Mingyu glanced at him, nodded lightly, and buried her face in Murong Ke's palm, "Father, am I too bad?"
"Why do you say that?" Murong Ke asked softly.
"Actually, I understand in my heart that there must be reasons for them to leave, but when they come back, I feel uncomfortable, and I just don't want to make them feel better..." Mingyu said in a low voice, she was afraid that her father would think that she He's a bad boy, and I won't hurt him anymore.
"Mingyu feels wronged, you just want others to know your grievance, you don't really hate your parents, right?" Murong Ke asked with a smile.
"Yes..." Mingyu said in a low voice.
Murong Ke said with a smile, "No one would be willing to hate Mingyu. Whether it is the father or your parents, they all love you the most. If you are willing to spend the night in the Qin Palace, it proves that you have forgiven them, right?"
Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "But I still... don't know how to get along with them."
She still couldn't say the phrase "father and mother".
"It's okay, take your time." Murong Ke said, this is already a good start.
Mingyu smiled shyly, "Well, today... Today my mother asked me if I want to go to Qi with them, she said it would be dangerous."
It is indeed dangerous to go to Qi State! From Murong Ke's standpoint, he doesn't want Mingyu to take risks, but since Ye Zhen raised this matter with Mingyu, she can definitely guarantee Mingyu's safety, and more importantly, she wants to use this time to talk to Mingyu. Jade repairs the relationship between mother and daughter.
"Does Mingyu want to go?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
Mingyu glanced at Murong Ke, "I don't want to, if I go, isn't Father the only person in the palace? I want to stay with you."
There was a warm smile in Murong Ke's eyes, "There are other people in the palace."
"But none of them can make Emperor Father laugh." Mingyu said seriously, "Emperor Father never smiles on weekdays."
"Really?" Murong Ke was taken aback for a moment, he didn't even know that he didn't usually smile.
Mingyu said, "Anyway, I've already thought it through. I won't go to Qi, but I will stay with my father."
A warm current welled up in Murong Ke's heart, "Then don't you want to live in Prince Qin's Mansion?"
"Why do I want to live in Prince Qin's Mansion? Doesn't Father want me to live in the palace?" Mingyu cried out in horror.
"Of course not, this will always be your home." Murong Ke said, he thought she wanted to be with her family more.
Mingyu said in a low voice, "That's right, this is my home, and I will never leave my father."
Murong Ke patted Mingyu's head lightly, "You are my daughter and will always be."
"Yeah." Mingyu laughed happily, "By the way, father, there is something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Murong Ke asked.
Mingyu looked around and made sure there was no one else, so she asked in a low voice, "Father, do you believe that there is a phoenix in this world?"
Murong Ke was slightly taken aback, is it a Phoenix reborn from Nirvana
"I believe." Murong Ke said with certainty, he knew that Ye Zhen was reborn from Nirvana.
She was his phoenix, the only queen he wanted.
Mingyu's eyes lit up, "Then have you seen Phoenix?"
"No." Murong Ke shook his head with a smile, "I've never seen it before, why do you ask this suddenly? Could it be that Mingyu has seen Phoenix?"
"No..." Mingyu recalled Mingxi's advice, she knew that she could not tell about this matter, "I just want to ask, I saw someone make a phoenix lantern at the temple fair today, it is very beautiful."
Murong Ke said with a smile, "Mingyu is the phoenix."
Mingyu chuckled, "I'm not, I'm Princess Mingyu."
The father and daughter were talking when Ford's voice came from outside.
"Come in." Murong Ke said lightly.
Ford hurried in, "Your Majesty."
"Why are you so flustered?" Murong Ke asked with a frown.
"Master Zhang reported that Master Teng's nephew was... beaten to death by His Highness on the street." Ford exclaimed in shock.
Needless to say, this Highness is Mingxi.
Ming Xi beat Teng Ye's nephew to death? Murong Ke frowned, "What happened?"
"It's that Teng Fei again?" Mingyu called out, "You didn't learn enough lessons yesterday, so you're going to provoke Mingxi today?"
