"This is... the longevity lock jade that I personally ordered the best craftsmen in the capital to carve for my daughter..." The emperor's fingers trembled as he stroked the piece of jade in his hand.
The surface of the longevity lock jade is carved with complicated patterns. When your fingertips touch it, it feels uneven, and the jade body also has a hint of warmth.
"You are... you are..." When the emperor looked up at Ye Qiqi again, he was so excited that he could not speak.
"I'm Qiqi." Ye Qiqi looked at his father, blinked, and replied seriously.
"Is... me and Yue'er's Qiqi??" The emperor was so excited that he even forgot to call himself me. He stared at Ye Qiqi without blinking.
There's no mistake, there's no mistake. She almost looks like she was carved from the same mold as Yue'er.
"I don't know either." Ye Qiqi tilted his head and looked at her, thought for a while and then whispered: "I have never met my parents, so... I don't know..."
"It must be, you must be!" The emperor stood up from his chair and walked excitedly to Ye Qiqi. He looked at her carefully. There were tears in his deep eyes. "Although I don't know what happened back then." Nothing happened, but my daughter is still alive... This... is so good, so good!!"
Ye Qiqi bit her lip gently, looked up at the excited emperor, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted softly: "Daddy??"
"Hey!" The emperor immediately hugged Qiqi excitedly and said, "My good daughter!!"
Ye Qiqi's head rested on the emperor's arms. There was a faint smell of ambergris on his body. He held his arms and was trembling slightly. However, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. .
Is this what it feels like to be a dad?
Ye Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then hugged the emperor with her backhand, buried her head in his arms, and asked in a muffled voice: "Then daddy, can I live in the palace?"
"Yes! Yes! Of course I can!!" The emperor was about to dance for joy. He looked down at Ye Qiqi in his arms and said excitedly: "Daddy will send someone to clean up the palace for you. You can live next to daddy." In the Moon Palace, that was where your mother lived."
"Okay!!" Ye Qiqi nodded vigorously.
Although the process of entering the palace today was a bit unsatisfactory, at least their goal was achieved.
As long as she can live in the palace, she will have a chance to find out who killed her mother.
When she thought of this, Ye Qiqi quickly raised her head and said to the emperor: "Dad, can you not tell others that I am your daughter?"
"Why?" The emperor looked at her with doubts in his eyes and asked.
"Because..." Ye Qiqi rolled his eyes, and then said in a clear voice to the emperor: "My mother must have had her reasons for sending me out of the palace back then. Until the reason is found out, dad should not tell me. For others, I am your daughter, okay??”
"But..." The emperor hesitated.
If he didn't tell others that Qi Qi was his daughter and she lived in the Lan Yue Palace, someone would probably find trouble for her.
"Dad, are you afraid that people will cause trouble for me?" Ye Qiqi raised her head and looked at her father and asked.
"Yes..." The emperor nodded and looked at Ye Qiqi with worry.
