Ever since she was young, she seemed to be living in disguise. Now, when she thought back to what she had looked like before, it was hard for her to imagine.

He shook his head and said, "I think my original appearance must be the same as now, right? For what he wanted, he would constantly do things that he did not like, pretending that he really liked it. In reality, everything was just for what he wanted. "I don't feel wronged at all. As long as I am able to reap some rewards, I won't feel wronged."

She smiled and looked at Dugu Ye, "However, I now understand that the things that I think may be a grievance, in the eyes of others, are hypocrisy and disgust."

When she said this, there was a bit of self-mockery and a bit of a wry smile on her face. This kind of her was much better looking than her feigned weakness.

Dugu Ye smiled and praised sincerely: "You look much better like this and you're much more genuine."

Hua Yufei was stunned.

She pretended to like him, and he pretended to like her. But in reality, who knew?

The two of them had never been together like this before, but after this experience, they felt that it wasn't bad.

The two of them drank tea and chatted. Time flew by quickly.

As he stepped out of the boat, he heard a commotion. Listening carefully, one could tell that these people were talking about her. In the past, when he heard these words, even though he was extremely worried about them, he had only pretended that he didn't care about them. But now, she discovered that she really didn't care.

What was there to care about?

She had originally been after the Dugu Family's Young Madam position, so she did the same thing. She thought that if the end result was what she wanted, then she had nothing to care about.

After returning to the manor, Hua Yuan discovered that Hua Yufei seemed to have changed in just a few days.

She was still as flamboyant as before, but she lacked that kind of blind arrogance. It was as if she had recognized herself overnight and understood the current situation. Hua Yuan felt strange at the bottom of her heart. It was as if the day she went out to meet Dugu Ye, her entire being had changed.

However, these Hua Yuan did not take it to heart. This was because the matter that they had discussed with the Yuan clan that day had finally come true.

That night, Hua Shihao came back to the Yuan family's room to take a seat, and sent someone to call Hua Yuan over. Hua Yuan then told Hua Yuan to sit in front of her and said, "My Little Iris has grown up in just a blink of an eye."

Hua Yuan felt her entire body tremble as she listened to him, even though Hua Shihao was not bad to her. In many ways, they could even be considered to be indulgent and pampering.

However, he had completely overlooked it in this period of time.

In addition, there were some matters where he was biased towards the madame for no reason at all. This caused Hua Yuan to be extremely disappointed in his father.

He had been injured by the madame every time, but Hua Shihao didn't show it at all. It was also because of this reason that the Yuan clan had completely given up on Hua Shihao.

This time around, the caring and loving manner they displayed caused Hua Yuan and Yuan Shi to be extremely shocked. Hua Yuan said, "Father, are you in a good mood today?"

Hua Shihao nodded, "Yes."

Hua Yuan decided not to speak anymore. Hua Shihao's thought of him was definitely not for no reason.

However, Hua Shi Hao said: "Oh right, Xiao Li is almost twelve, right? Have you ever thought about what kind of person you will marry in the future? "

Hua Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He was only 11 years old, okay?

You want to marry me so badly?

You just want to get on the Crown Prince's ship?

This was truly despicable!

Hua Yuan did not say anything. She only looked at him with a pair of ignorant eyes. The Yuan clan's heart tightened as they asked, "Old master, which young talent do you want?"

"What does Madam think of the crown prince?"

Hua Yuan:!

Yuan Family:!

How about a little bit?

Anyone would be able to tell the position of the crown prince. He's really a bit unsteady, isn't he?" Besides, the crown prince had shown the intention of crippling the crown prince and had become more and more ruthless. Something had happened in the capital because of the crown prince?

Normal people wouldn't even think of marrying their daughter to the crown prince, right?

Besides, the Crown Prince was so much older than Iris.

There were many concubines in the Crown Prince's Palace, and the Iris was still so young, so it was impossible for it to be round.

Besides, if the Crown Prince were to be crippled one day, how could Iris handle it?

This was truly a move that could not be any more unconscious.

Yuan Shi said, "The crown prince's age is a little too different from Iris', isn't it a little too much?"

However, Hua Shihao seemed to have hardened his heart, "So what? "Age isn't a problem at all. Iris will be the Crown Prince's consort after she's married. Who else would dare to bully Iris just because she's young?"

Hua Yuan did not speak.

Just looking at Hua Shihao was akin to looking at a lunatic.

The Yuan clan also became stunned and said, "Old master, are you really determined to do this? "It's just that everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Prince's position is not as stable as he is now."

Before Yuan Shi could finish his words, Hua Shi Hao interrupted him, "How can I not know about this? However, if the position of the Crown Prince is stable, would it be our turn to be attentive? Which one will be more memorable when it comes to providing coal in the middle of a snowstorm or adding to a flower in the middle of a snowstorm? "

Charcoal in the snow...

It's just that your charcoal will have to be useful!

If he sent it over in such a hurry, would he be able to dispel the emperor's determination to cripple the crown prince? How naive!

In fact, it wasn't that Hua Shihao was naive, but that he didn't think the emperor would cripple the crown prince at all!

The Yuan clan wouldn't agree no matter what. "Princess Yun Xin has already treated the position of the Crown Prince's consort as her own. Wasn't the matter with the Iris Concubine enough? If that happens, what should we do? "

"It was just an accident!"

Now, the Yuan family finally knew that Hua Shihao had hardened their hearts!

If he did not send Hua Yuan to the crown prince's residence, he would not rest.

Hua Yuan suddenly cried loudly, "Wu Wu Wu …" Father is bad, I don't want to go to the Crown Prince's Palace, I don't want to go! "

Even though Hua Shihao still doted on his daughter, he still couldn't compare to his future, "This isn't up to you. You have to go. If you don't want to go, you have to go!"

With that, he stood up and flicked his sleeves as he left.

Yuan Shi stared at his back, his eyes cold.

"Don't be afraid, Iris."

Hua Yuan nodded. She knew that her mother was going to write a letter to the empress dowager.

When Her Majesty received the letter, she lamented that Hua Shihao was too muddle-headed. On the second day he decreed that Hua Yuan should stay in the palace.

Hua Shihao naturally knew that this must be the doing of the Yuan clan. After returning home, he did not say anything else and fiercely slapped the Yuan clan's face! The main house was completely out of favour.

Du Qiao and Sui Qianying still didn't know what had happened at Hua Yuan's side. Du Qiao only found out from the Grand Princess a few days later that Hua Yuan had entered the palace to accompany the empress dowager.

Even though Zhang Xuan was astounded by the sight before him, he felt perplexed by the sight as well.

She asked the eunuch, "Why did you go to the empress dowager again?"

Even though the Grand Princess wanted her daughter to grow up happily, she didn't want her to fail. He then said, "He probably went to seek refuge with the empress dowager."

"Asylum?"

The Grand Princess smiled, but didn't say anything.

Du Qiao however, said, "Then, Mother, can I go to the palace to see Li-er?"

"Why not?"
