Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao looked doubtfully at her royal father, who seemed a little off, and her sixth brother, who was trying his best to hold back his laughter.

"We didn't come for long. Xiao Xiao heard that you didn't talk about business and pushed the door open. Imperial Father, what happened to you? Your complexion isn't too good."

"Cough, royal father is fine. royal father is joking with you. Xiao Xiao, why did you suddenly come to my imperial study?"

Xuanyuan Ci gave a dry cough to cover up the awkwardness in his heart.

"The Queen said that she wanted you and Sixth Brother to go to the Condensing Flower Palace for dinner. Xiao Xiao just managed to break through to the Qi Cultivating Stage, so she personally came to call for Father and Sixth Brother."

She had already broken through to the Qi Cultivating Stage at the age of twelve and was considered a heaven's pride expert among her peers in Da Xia. Most importantly, her father had already persuaded her to go to the Royal Academy in a year's time.

"Haha, you are truly worthy to be my daughter. Xiaoxiao, you are truly amazing. Now that father and your sixth brother know about it, you can go back and report to mother."

Right now, he wanted to spend his daughter as soon as possible. It would be best if he didn't ask who Qin Lang was.

"Then, royal father, I will return. Sixth brother, you must come over later."

Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao walked out happily and even closed the door to the study for the two of them.

Seeing that his daughter had left, Emperor Xuanyuan was still worried. He used his Spiritual Sense to check if his daughter was already headed towards the Congealed Flower Palace before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"I don't know whether I should hope for Qin Lang to come back soon, or let him come back a little slower. Luckily Xiao Xiao didn't continue to ask, otherwise I would have made up a lie to deceive her."

"Father, you don't need to? Xiaoxiao doesn't even know who Qin Lang is. I'm guessing that he's just curious because he heard it from us. Maybe he'll forget about it after a few days."

As for Susu, if Qin Lang was in the Royal Academy, he might not be as enthusiastic as she was, but if Qin Lang was there, it was possible that he might not be as enthusiastic.

There was no need to talk about Xiaoxiao. Qin Lang had come back at an unknown time, and even if he did, they wouldn't have met that many times. He didn't believe that Qin Lang could get his sister with just a few words of greeting.

"Mo Er, you still don't understand. Xiao Xiao is 12 or 13 years old now, and is the age when love just started. Now, if she wants to remember someone, she will do everything possible to find out more information. If she tries to obstruct us even for a moment, she will turn into a thorny rat."

"Father, you're right."

"Of course, who is royal father? Back then …"

Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled as he stroked his chin. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around as if he had seen a ghost. The door opened again and his daughter looked at him with a smile.

"Morning …" Xiao Xiao, when did you come back … "

"Xiaoxiao, come back and listen to what father has to say." Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao replied, "I was also worried that Xiaoxiao would ask who Qin Lang was, so why did Imperial Father send her away in such a hurry."

"Hehe, Xiao Xiao, since you already know, I won't keep it a secret from you. Qin Lang is of great use to our Da Xia Empire, but he has a natural disposition, he has three wives and four concubines. Father just doesn't want you to be interested in him."

It was as though Emperor Xuanyuan accepted his fate. He told Qin Lang who he was on his own accord and didn't let his daughter ask him who he was.

"Really? No matter how your daughter listens, royal father seems to be insulting Qin Lang. "

Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao tilted her head, her eyes full of suspicion.
