He only has Qingqing, and he only hopes that she will be safe and happy for the rest of his life. However, if he enters the palace, even if he holds military power, he is in Suzhou. If one day, Qingqing will suffer any grievances in the palace, he will be out of reach.

"I will think about this matter again." He did not respond or directly refuse, but said this.

When Xie Jingrun heard this, he narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.

Anyway, no one can stop him from marrying Qingqing, and Xiao Zhen can't do it either.

"Your Highness has been out of the palace for a long time, and it is getting late now, so I will not send you off." Xiao Zhen issued an order to expel guests.

Xie Jingrun glanced at him and stood up, "Your Majesty doesn't need to send him off." After that, he turned around and looked at Rong Qingqing.

Rong Qingqing was about to get up, but Xiao Zhen called out, "Qingqing, I have something to ask you."

Rong Qingqing glanced at Xie Jingrun and had to sit back on the chair.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrun said nothing and left alone.

It was not until Xie Jingrun left that Rong Qingqing said, "Dad, what are you asking me?"

Xiao Zhen glanced at her and asked, "Do you really like this kid so much?"

Rong Qingqing couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she was asked so directly in person, but when she met her father's eyes, she nodded, "Yes."

"I really want to marry him?" Xiao Zhen asked again, his brows frowned tightly.

"Yes." Rong Qingqing said affirmatively.

Xiao Zhen sighed deeply when he heard this.

"Instead of marrying into the palace, I hope you will marry an ordinary person. In that case, I can still stand up for you and make decisions for you if you suffer. But if you marry into the palace, even if you suffer in the future, I can only watch it."

After hearing these words, Rong Qingqing felt warm and understood that her father was also worried that she would be bullied by Xie Jingrun in the future.

But Xie Jingrun will be the emperor in the future. Even though he has given him grievances, his father, as a minister, cannot make the decision for her. That's why he said that he hopes that she will marry an ordinary person so that he can make the decision for herself any grievances she suffers.

Dad really loves her...

She puts her happiness first in everything, but she never thought about what benefits she can get.

I knew that Xie Jingrun wanted to marry her, but I was not happy because I could get along with the royal family, but I was just worried about whether she could be happy.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter is not that fragile. If there are any variables in the future, I can deal with it myself."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen was quite surprised, and he didn't expect his daughter to be so strong.

Her ability to say this means that she was not a momentary impulse.

"You can just know what you are doing." After a long time, Xiao Zhen sighed and said.

"Yes." Rong Qingqing nodded and stood up and said, "If dad has nothing else, I will go back first."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhen suddenly called her.

"Is there anything else to do with Dad?"

Xiao Zhen coughed lightly, his eyes wandering, "I saw the sachet that Xie Jingrun wore."

"What?" Rong Qingqing was surprised.

"The sachet is very beautiful." Xiao Zhen said immediately.

Hearing this, Rong Qingqing widened her eyes.

The beautiful sachet refers to the one she embroidered for Xie Jingrun?

Is Dad myopia?

Otherwise, how could he think that sachet is beautiful?

"I think it's ugly." She said embarrassingly.

"It's not ugly, I like it very much." Xiao Zhen said quickly, pausing, "You... embroider one for me too."

"Ah?" Rong Qingqing was extremely surprised.

Unexpectedly, except for Xie Jingrun who did not dislike her female infrared, even her father was the same.

"Okay." It took her a while before she found her voice.
