After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 230 Appearances are in harmony but minds are separate

"Jun'er, go and invite your father to the main hall."

"it is good"

Despite their playful bickering, Xu Zijun was extremely obedient to her older sister, Princess Qingyue, and the two had a very good relationship.

Princess Qiling paused, startled. "Qingyue, is something urgent?"

"No, my daughter brought back some good stuff from the general's mansion and invited her father to come and eat with her mother."

"Hehe, I'm afraid he's unwilling."

A mocking glint flashed in Princess Qiling's beautiful eyes. Her slender, youthful fingers, as well-maintained as a young girl's, pinched the porcelain-white teacup. She took a sip of tea, lost in thought.

Princess Qingyue felt a pang of heartache for her mother as she looked at her.

Ever since I can remember, my father and mother have lived in separate courtyards, each leading their own lives. Just like now, when I return to the mansion, I go straight to my own Qinglang Garden and do not want to have any contact with my mother.

Father shouldn't have blamed her for his unfulfilled ambitions due to her mother's status.

She just wanted to marry the person she loved, what's wrong with that?

Princess Qingyue felt helpless about her parents' strained relationship. She had tried many times to mend their relationship, but to no avail.

But as long as she's there, she won't give up.

Princess Qiling's hand, hidden in her sleeve, slowly tightened. She pretended to sip her tea, her eyes glancing almost imperceptibly out the window.

When two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the distant pavilion, Qing's cold eyes finally flickered, and he couldn't help but look up.

The entire world was covered in white snow. Amidst the vast snowscape, a tall and imposing figure still stood out remarkably.

It's like a majestic mountain peak, standing firmly on the snow.

Despite the marks of time on him, his figure remained as agile as when he was young, and his black brocade robe fluttered wildly in the wind.

Just like when she was young, she spotted him in the vast sea of ​​people and could never take her eyes off him again.

The other men instantly paled in comparison, like stars surrounding the moon, all reduced to mere background figures.

If she could do it all over again, she would still choose him without hesitation.

Even if he harbors resentment towards me, I will not hesitate.

"Qingyue, what is the matter that Jun'er has asked me to call him?"

Prince Consort Xu Ye acted as if he hadn't seen Princess Qiling, and asked his daughter with a smile.

Although he was not a good husband, he was a very good father. He doted on his children and was much more approachable than fathers from other prominent families.

"Father, please sit down. Your daughter has something good for you."

Princess Qingyue pulled the prince consort's hand and pushed him toward the stool next to Princess Qiling.

Xu Ye paused for a moment, then stopped resisting and sat down on the stool with her daughter.

"What good thing could possibly warrant such caution from you?"

"Father will find out soon enough. It's definitely a good thing, right, little brother?"

"Second sister is right, it really is a good thing."

Xu Zijun nodded emphatically in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll wait."

Xu Ye was very gentle and patient with his children. He never scolded or reprimanded them. He would patiently teach them when they did something wrong, which was very different from other families.

Moreover, his home was clean and tidy. Although he and Princess Qiling had a strained relationship, he never considered taking a concubine and only had this one wife.

This avoids the trouble caused by the conflict between legitimate and illegitimate children.

This also fostered the children's innocent and kind nature.

"Father, Mother, close your eyes."

"What exactly is it? Father is becoming more and more curious."
