"Silly girl, please put the lantern aside first."
"Hey, Yiyi knows."
After Liu Yiyi placed the lantern, she moved elegantly and chased towards Young Master Liu with light steps.
Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of dry smoke, raised his head and looked at the bright moon that had quietly climbed up the top of the willow tree under the night sky.
"They say that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, and it is indeed true. The moonlight today is really beautiful."
Hearing her father's sigh, Liu Yiyi also raised her jade neck and looked at the night sky.
When she saw the bright moon hanging like a jade plate in the night sky, she said with a smile on her face: "Yes, the moonlight today is indeed very beautiful.
If dad and you weren't busy in the study, our family would have been chatting in the garden and admiring the moon by now.
I don’t know whether my grandparents, grandpa and grandma, my mother and aunts, and my brothers and sisters have gone back to their rooms to rest, or whether they have gone to the garden to enjoy the moon."
"Silly girl, you still don't understand your grandfather's character?
As a father, I can be sure that they must be wandering in the garden or chatting in the pavilion while admiring the moon!"
Liu Yiyi's pretty eyes lit up and she turned to look at her father.
"Dad, why don't we go for a walk in the garden together?"
Liu Mingzhi blew out a puff of smoke, withdrew his eyes from looking at the bright moon, turned to look at Liu Yiyi, smiled and shook his head.
"My dear daughter, there are still some things that I haven't thought clearly about as a father, so I won't go over there."
After hearing her father's answer, Liu Yaoyao nodded her head a few times with a look of disappointment.
"Oh well."
Liu Mingzhi looked at his good daughter's disappointed expression and raised his hand to pat her shoulder a few times.
"Yiyi."
"Hey, Yiyi is here, daddy?"
"My dear daughter, you should have read the betrothal gift and the gift list sent by the Xie family, right?"
As soon as Mr. Liu said these words, the disappointment on Liu Yiyi's pretty face was replaced by shyness in just the blink of an eye.
When Liu Yiyi rushed to the study from the main hall, she was already mentally prepared.
She knew very well that after she met her father, he would definitely ask her this question.
However, I didn't expect that my father would ask so straightforwardly.
Liu Yiyi gently teased her slender jade fingers, looked at Young Master Liu with a blush on her face, and nodded her head a few times shyly.
"Well, as my father said, Yiyi has already read it."
Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel a sense of sourness in his heart.
Alas, it turns out that girls are extroverts, girls are extroverts!
Young Master Liu took a long puff of dry cigarette, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and asked with a forced smile: "Silly girl, are you satisfied with the betrothal gift the Xie family sent you?"
Liu Yiyi nodded her head gently a few times, and replied in a voice like a mosquito: "Yeah, yeah, Yiyi is satisfied."
"satisfy?"
"Well, satisfied."
"Yiyi."
"Hey, daddy?"
Liu Mingzhi stretched out his hand to hold Liu Yiyi's jade hand, and sighed melancholy.
"My dear daughter, you have to tell your father the truth.
If you feel dissatisfied with anything, you might as well tell dad directly to me.
When dad gets some free time, he will immediately send someone to send a message to this bastard Xie Qingtong... um... uh huh...
Send a message to Xie Qingtong and ask him to come back and give you the next betrothal gift you want for your good daughter.
Whatever betrothal gift you want, daddy, I will ask him to give you whatever betrothal gift you want.
Until when, my good daughter, you are satisfied."
After hearing what her father said, Liu Yiyi's pretty face suddenly became anxious, she raised her hand and held Liu Dashao's right hand behind her back, and shook her head hurriedly.
"Daddy, daddy, no, no.
Daddy, what Yiyi told you is true, Yiyi is really satisfied with the betrothal gifts Xie Yun gave his daughter."
"Silly girl, you have to think about it carefully. The day when you and Xie Yun get married is approaching day by day.
In about two months, it will be here in the blink of an eye.
Once that time comes, dad and I can't help you even if I want to."
Liu Yiyi held her generous hand and nodded vigorously.
"Dad, my daughter will not regret it. She is really satisfied with the betrothal gift Xie Yun gave me.
but……"
"Well, but what?"
Liu Yiyi let go of Young Master Liu's right hand, opened her slender jade arms directly, and flew towards Young Master Liu as if the flying swallow was returning to its nest.
"Daddy."
Seeing this, Liu Dashu quickly removed the tobacco pouch in his left hand, raised his right hand and patted Liu Yiyi's back gently.
"Hey, little girl, you're not afraid of being burned by the pot, silly girl."
Liu Yiyi spread her arms and hugged Mr. Liu's waist tightly, looking up at her father with tears in her eyes.
"Daddy."
After all, Liu Yiyi still couldn't hold back the tears that kept rolling in her eyes.
Two lines of clear tears quietly slid down her cheeks.
"Dad, thank you, thank you, thank you for loving your child so much."
When he saw his good daughter looking like this, Mr. Liu's eyes couldn't help but get sore.
He blinked his eyes hard several times, quickly took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the tears from the corners of Liu Yiyi's eyes.
"Good girl, good girl, we won't cry, we won't cry."
Liu Yiyi raised her hand and took the handkerchief from her father's hand, choking with sobs and nodded.
"Hey, uh uh uh, Yiyi don't cry, Yiyi don't cry."
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, took Liu Yiyi's wrist with his backhand, and pulled her to walk slowly around the flower bed.
"Silly girl, Xie Yun is currently on duty at the Academy of Sciences, and will stay in the capital to settle down in the future.
After you leave the court and marry him, you are not marrying far away.
My dear daughter, when do you miss your father, your mother, and your good aunts? You can come back to visit us at any time.
Silly girl, our door is open to you at any time.
No matter when you come back, your father, your mother, and your aunts are always ready to welcome you home.
Even if you come back once a day, daddy, I don't have any objections."
"Yeah, yeah, Yiyi understands, thank you daddy."
"Silly girl, you are my father's good daughter, why should you be so polite to me?"
Liu Yiyi sobbed and nodded: "Dad, Yiyi is wrong, Yiyi is wrong."
Young Master Liu raised his head and glanced at the moonlight in the night sky, then he laughed and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot under his feet.
"My dear daughter, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first.
Of course, if you are not sleepy now, then go to the garden to spend time with your grandparents and kiss them with your mother."
"Yeah, yeah, Yiyi understands."
