The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 381: Equally Beautiful
Emperor Dongli said, "He has been here for such a long time now, many ministers have already expressed their dissatisfaction."

"Even if I can persuade them temporarily, it doesn't mean I can persuade them all the time."

"So Xier, you understand, right?"

Emperor Dongli looked at Bai Qianxi and blinked, hoping that she would stand on his side.

"Humph! Don't think I don't know what you are up to, right in front of me!"

Seeing Emperor Dongli like this, Ye Linxiao snorted coldly and then looked at his daughter with burning eyes.

"Xi'er, you don't have to listen to him! Your father will stay with you in the Imperial Capital as long as you want. When you get tired of it and want to leave, just tell me."

"When you don't want to stay, then we can go to the border town together. Anyway, I'll go wherever you go, and no one can separate us!"

Ye Linxiao's tone was firm. For the sake of his daughter, it didn't matter if he suffered some grievances in this imperial city. The worst that could happen was that he would just pretend not to hear it!

Seeing him like this, Emperor Dongli felt even more headache, "If you want to leave, you can go, but you can't take her with you."

"No matter what, she is my Princess Dongli. If you take her away and the news gets out, how am I going to explain it?"

"How you explain it is up to you. Anyway, if I want to leave, I will definitely take Xier with me!"

He was worried about leaving Xier alone in the imperial capital!
"Please stop being so willful. Besides, the border town is bitterly cold. Xier has suffered so much since she was a child. Now that her life is finally getting better, you want to take her away. Aren't you afraid that she won't be able to adapt to life in the borderland?"

Hearing what Emperor Dongli said and thinking of Bai Qianxi's body, Ye Linxiao hesitated for a moment, but then he quickly reacted, "You don't have to say such things to scare me. I'm here, and I won't let Xier suffer any injustice no matter what!"

"I can completely guarantee this!"

Bai Qianxi felt a bit overwhelmed as she watched the two of them fighting for their right to ownership.

"Enough! Have you ever thought about asking me what I think?" A crisp voice rang out, and the two grown men fell silent in an instant.

At the same time, he looked at her expectantly, "Let's stop arguing. Xier, tell me, who do you want to follow?"

"Xi'er, you have to learn so many rules in this imperial city. You don't have any freedom at all. Why don't you just follow me?"

"There are scenery beyond the Great Wall that you have never seen. Besides, my subordinates will definitely like you when they see you!"

"Don't tempt her here. How can the prosperity of the Imperial City be compared to your place? Besides, Xier has so many friends in the Imperial City. If she really goes to your place, Xier will be so lonely!"

It seemed that the two of them were about to start a verbal battle again!
Bai Qianxi frowned immediately, "Uncle, Dad, you don't have to say anything. I don't want to go to the border town so soon."

"Of course, I can't stay in the imperial city forever." She didn't want to be anyone's appendage.

She will always be herself, not just someone's daughter or wife!

Hearing his daughter say this, Ye Linxiao looked lonely at first, but as for Donglihuang, a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his lips.

But before the corners of his lips could fully rise, he heard Bai Qianxi continue speaking.

For a moment, Ye Linxiao was neither sure whether to laugh nor not laugh.

Ye Linxiao suddenly felt in a good mood after listening to Bai Qianxi's next words.

After all, since he couldn't get the company of his good daughter, he couldn't even think about getting the company of Emperor Dongli!

Only this is fair! Just as Ye Linxiao was thinking this, Emperor Dongli suddenly reacted, "Xi'er, what did you just say? You said you don't plan to stay in the imperial city for a long time?"

"Where are you going?" Ye Linxiao finally reacted at this time and looked at Bai Qianxi nervously, "Xi'er, it's not safe outside the imperial city. Wherever you want to go, I will go with you!"

After Ye Linxiao finished speaking, he looked at Dong Lihuang proudly again, "How about it? Can you go out with Xier?"

Emperor Dongli looked unhappy, but Bai Qianxi said at this time, "No need, I planned to go out for a walk alone at that time."

"And this is just my preliminary plan. I'm not sure when it will be finalized." She just had this vague idea.

They both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say this, but they were still very determined to persuade Bai Qianxi to give up the idea.

Or take them along.

They would never feel at ease if Xier was allowed to go out alone.

Under the firm request of the two, Bai Qianxi could only choose to agree first. After all, this was a matter for the future and even she couldn't tell the details now.

However, Bai Qianxi's decision to stay in the imperial city for the time being was finally confirmed.

Seeing her firm attitude, Ye Linxiao couldn't help but become depressed instantly.

Although Bai Qianxi felt reluctant to see him like this, she hardened her heart when she thought about her own persistence.

She couldn't make a decision against her inner thoughts just because she couldn't bear it for a moment.

"I said, Xier still likes me the most, so what even if you are her biological father?" Compared to Ye Linxiao's decadence, Emperor Dongli seemed a little proud.

Seeing him like this, Ye Linxiao turned around and left in anger.

Bai Qianxi looked at Ye Linxiao who left angrily and then looked at Donglihuang, hesitating for a moment.

"Okay, stop looking at me here and go look at him."

"I understand him. He just can't accept this for the time being. You just need to go back and comfort him." Emperor Dongli still cared about his brothers.

It's just that he doesn't show this in front of the other person.

When Bai Qianxi returned home from the palace, she saw her father sitting there drinking alone.

Noticing her arrival, Ye Linxiao immediately invited her to drink with him. Seeing that he seemed a little tipsy, Bai Qianxi did not refuse.

"Xi'er... why is the bond between us father and daughter so shallow... do you know... I really can't bear to part with you?"

"Thinking back then, I wasn't able to stay with your mother all the time. Now it's your turn. I didn't expect that we, father and daughter, wouldn't be able to stay together for long..."

Having said that, Ye Linxiao took another big gulp of wine.

Under the influence of alcohol, Ye Linxiao directly said many things that he had not been able to say.

"Do you know that when I first saw you, I really thought she came back..."

"But then I changed my mind and thought, how could this be possible? After so many years, I have become an old man, and I guess she is the same..."

"No... She should still be beautiful. She was so beautiful when she was young... As beautiful as you..."
