Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 17
"Your Majesty, Di Ji was still young when she left your side, so she must not have remembered Your Majesty, but after all, father and daughter are connected. Even if they haven't seen each other for so many years, blood is thicker than water, and Di Ji will definitely be close to Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu persuaded.

Hearing what Eunuch Fu said, Nangong Rui calmed down a little.

He will meet his daughter soon, and he must leave the best impression on her!

Xia Houqi was already standing outside the house to greet him.

At this time, the streets were deserted. Nangong Rui specially chose this time to leave the palace to avoid being followed by someone with intentions.

"I respectfully welcome His Majesty's Majesty—"

"Okay, you don't have to be so polite to me, please take me to see Xiao Xi'er!"

Nangong Rui skipped the part of being polite to Xia Hou and couldn't wait to ask to see his precious daughter!
Xia Houqi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he led Nangong Rui and Eunuch Fu into the palace together, all the way to Luo Xing Pavilion.

"Why is this yard so small? Can Xiao Xi'er get used to it?"

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard where Chu Xi lived, Nangong Rui began to dislike it and felt that he had wronged his daughter.

Xia Houqi sighed helplessly:
"This is already the best courtyard besides the courtyard where I live."

The implication was that he did not dare to treat Di Ji badly.

"Ahem, I didn't say you treated Xiao Xi'er harshly. Don't be too sensitive, kid."

Xia Houqi: Your Majesty, the look in your eyes just now was clearly accusing me of abusing the Emperor Ji!I can see it clearly!
The Feiyun Huanyun in Luoxing Pavilion had already left and went back to the house to rest. At this time, Chu Xi was the only one in the house.

Originally, Chu Xi was sitting upright, preparing to meet her long-lost old father, but as she waited, she began to feel sleepy, and then unconsciously, she fell asleep leaning on the bed frame.

Nangong Rui pushed the door open and entered cautiously, so Chu Xi was still asleep and had not woken up.

Xia Houqi followed Nangong Rui in. As soon as he entered, Nangong Rui silenced him:

"Shh, keep your voice down, Xiao Xi'er seems to be asleep, don't wake her up."

Xia Hou abandoned:
Then Xia Houqi saw the dignified king of a country entering as quietly as a thief, then stood in front of the bed, slowly squatted down, and looked at Chu Xi carefully.

However, when Nangong Rui came closer, he made some noise. Chu Xi frowned slightly when he heard the movement, and then slowly opened his eyes.

A face that is [-]% similar to hers is right in front of you!It’s still an enlarged version!

"Ah! Who are you and why are you in my room!"

Chu Xi exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Xi'er, don't be afraid, I am your father, your biological father! Look at my face, does it look exactly like yours?"

Seeing Chu Xi's fear, Nangong Rui quickly explained.

"Keep your voice down and don't attract other people. Your Majesty's departure from the palace is a secret and cannot be known to others." Xia Houqi also quickly stopped Chu Xi from yelling.

Chu Xi came back to her senses, then remembered this and patted her chest. It was really a false alarm.

"Why didn't you call me when you came in? You scared me." Chu Xi pouted and looked at Nangong Rui and Xia Houqi with some dissatisfaction.

"It's all dad's fault. He saw Xiao Xi'er sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake you up."

No matter how he looks at her now, Nangong Rui feels that his daughter is beautiful and that she is right!

After hearing this, Chu Xi had the leisure to look at the man who claimed to be his father.

He was just as handsome as she imagined!Just by looking at this face, you can tell that he is related by blood!

"I don't blame you, I was just scared." Chu Xi also explained that she yelled just now, not wanting to leave a bad impression on her father who was meeting for the first time.

"Dad knows that Xiao Xi'er won't blame dad, and dad won't blame Xiao Xi'er. Xiao Xi'er is as beautiful as dad imagined. After all these years, our father and daughter finally meet!"

Nangong Rui was very excited, his eyes were slightly red, and his nose was a little sore. "father"

Chu Xi shouted in a low voice, which made Nangong Rui excited.

"Hey! Dad is here!"

Then the father and daughter sat down and had a good chat. After Xiahou gave up, he also sat aside and chatted with them.

"Xiao Xi'er, are you still used to living in the palace?"

"Well, it's okay."

Since Xia Houqi was nearby, Chu Xi didn't dare to complain. She could only say that she lived well.

Hearing this, Nangong Rui breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good to get used to living there. There are still some dangers in the palace that have not been eliminated, so dad can only temporarily foster you in the Regent's Mansion. When dad handles all the affairs in the palace, he will take you back to the palace. Then we, father and daughter, Let’s have a good time reminiscing about old times.”

Nangong Rui felt endless guilt about Chu Xi. He left the palace in a hurry this time and couldn't stay long. He would go back to the palace soon.

"It's okay, Dad, don't worry and handle it. I'll wait for Dad to pick me up at the palace." Chu Xi responded obediently.

Hearing this, Nangong Rui was very pleased. Then he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Xi:
"This jade pendant was originally worn by you since you were born. When you were kidnapped, only this jade pendant was left. Dad could only see the jade pendant and think about it. Now it has returned to its original owner."

Chu Xi took the jade pendant and felt it looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Suddenly, several scenes flashed through his mind, as if they were scenes from the childhood of the owner of this body.

"Is there two pieces of this jade pendant?"

Chuxi suddenly asked.

Xia Houqi and Nangong Rui were both stunned, as if they didn't expect Chu Xi to remember that there were two jade pendants.

"Yes, there are indeed two pieces of this jade pendant. Do you still remember?"

"I vaguely think it looks familiar, but I can't remember the rest." Chu Xi explained in a low voice, for fear that she would be exposed.

"It doesn't matter. You were only four years old when you left dad. It's normal if you don't remember these things. There were two jade pendants, but now only one is left. I thought you had been wearing the other jade pendant, and it must have been lost long ago." Nangong Rui He sighed and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Chu Xi frowned slightly. She always felt that the other jade pendant, which she had seen somewhere, must not have been lost!
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You have to return to the palace to prepare for the morning ceremony."

Eunuch Fu urged from outside the door.

After hearing his words, Nangong Rui stood up reluctantly, and then touched Chu Xi's head lovingly:
"Be good in the palace and wait for dad to take you home."

After Chu Xi nodded in agreement, Nangong Rui left, and Xia Houqi immediately got up to see him off.

Not long after, Xia Houqi returned to the room.

Chu Xi was looking at the jade pendant in awe, and she never even looked at Xia Hou when he returned to the house.

"Do you like this jade pendant so much?"

"Well, my dad gave it to me. Of course I like it."

When Chu Xi said this, the corners of Xia Houqi's lips rose crazily:
"Oh, it turns out you like the love token I gave you so much."

Chu Xi suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Houqi with wide eyes.

"Token of love? Isn't this what my father gave me?!"

　Nangong Rui: Hehe, my baby daughter is so beautiful!Looks the same as me!
