430 Xuanyuan Ye (1)

She pretended not to care, but Xuanyuan Ye still had hope in her heart.

She hoped that it was really as Bai Zhi had said. She hoped that her father would be touched when he found out that she had come to Great Xia.

However, when she returned to the posthouse and saw Xuanyuan Ziming sitting in the lobby drinking tea, the hope in her heart disappeared.

She should have known. Her father had someone he liked and didn’t care about her mother, so he didn’t care about her either.

Sometimes, Xuanyuan Ye felt that it was ridiculous. In her life, she had only seen her biological father a few times.

She had once heard from the old man in the residence that even when she was born, her father did not return to Phoenix City.

Xuanyuan Ye still remembered that the first time she saw him was when she was three years old. The empress dowager’s grandmother was unwell, and her father returned to Phoenix City to stay for three days.

However, he did not return to the prince’s residence at all in those three days. Instead, he stayed in the palace.

At that time, she still did not understand that she was disliked. She happily asked Nanny to bring her to the palace to see him.

Her mother had shown her her father’s portrait, but she felt that he was even better-looking in person than in the portrait.

She called out softly, “Father.”

She remembered that he had said two words.

He said, “Get out.”

Yes, he had chased her away without looking at her. She had cried and said that she would never like her father again.

Later on, he even went back to Phoenix City a few times. It was the Empress Dowager’s grandmother who pretended to be sick and tricked him back. Unfortunately, he left again after staying for two days.

Moreover, even if he returned to Phoenix City, he had never stepped into the residence. If she wanted to see him, she could only hide in the palace path and take a look.

Although she said in her heart that she didn’t like her father anymore, she was still a child who yearned for her father’s love.

Seeing that her father would come back every time the empress dowager’s grandmother fell sick, she secretly jumped into the pool in the middle of winter to make herself sick.

That time, she almost died, but her father never appeared.

His mother comforted her and said that her father was busy and did not know that she was sick. She felt better.

This year, she had just turned 15.

Seeing that her father had returned to Phoenix City, she thought that he had returned for her coming-of-age ceremony.

She was wrong again. Her father still came to Great Xia without visiting her.

She was supposed to hold her coming-of-age ceremony in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but she ignored her mother’s objections and chased him to Great Xia.

She did not know why she was doing this. Perhaps it had become her obsession to obtain her father’s attention.

However, it was precisely because of her father’s coldness and neglect that both the empress dowager and the emperor doted on her excessively, even surpa.s.sing her cousins.

She knew that their hearts ached for her, but they were not her father after all.

“Little Yezi, where did you go? Don’t you know that you should bring more people out? Do you think this is the Xuanyuan Kingdom?”

“Let me tell you, not many people in Great Xia know you.”

“If you want to go out, at least leave a message. I almost brought someone to report it to the authorities. Do you know that?” When Xuanyuan Ziming saw her return, he bombarded her with questions.

Xuanyuan Ye retracted her thoughts. Her nose felt a little sour and she was a little touched.

This cousin of hers usually looked unreliable. He only knew how to do bad things because the emperor and the empress dowager doted on him. She did not expect him to know how to care about others after coming to Great Xia.

Although she still hated how he addressed her, Xuanyuan Ye had just suffered two blows. Her heart was weak and she was about to apologize.

Zhu Zi and Shuan Zi each came out from behind with a tray and shouted, “Hey, make way, make way.”

As the two of them walked, a fragrance wafted out.

Soon, a plate of delicious food filled the square table in front of Xuanyuan Ziming.

Zhu Zi even stood at the side and introduced them one by one. “Your Highness, these are all what you specifically asked to eat. Ruyi Restaurant’s crab meatb.a.l.l.s, sesame phoenix rolls, First-grade Restaurant’s jade belt prawns, Eight Treasure Duck, Mandarin Fish, and Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant’s lotus leaf chicken…”

These were all famous dishes in the capital. They had to go to all the major restaurants in the capital to gather them.

Xuanyuan Ye was speechless.

She would be a fool to believe his nonsense.

However, after this interruption, the sadness in her heart turned into anger.

Xuanyuan Ye rolled her eyes and was about to go upstairs.

Xuanyuan Ziming picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth. He sighed and called out, “Hey, Little Yezi, aren’t you going to eat some with us? It’s not easy to gather these. If you don’t eat them now, you won’t be able to eat them even if you want to in the future.”
