QT: TPE Chapter 42.2

Mr. Xu couldn’t help but reach out and touch the top of her head, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Yi’er has grown taller.”

When he was on the frontier, all three of his sons were by his side, but his youngest daughter was far away in the capital, and he missed her the most.

“Father originally wanted to keep you at home for a few more years, but alas… But it’s better this way now.”

The original plan was to marry Xu Lingyi to Xu Zheng, with Xu Zheng living in their home. This would essentially be like having a son-in-law live with them, rather than marrying off a daughter.

But there was no use thinking about it now. Xu Lingyi was already pregnant with His Majesty’s child, and he would soon have a grandchild.

Mr. Xu was good at convincing himself.

Xu Lingyi then pestered her father to ask about her three older brothers.

“Your Third Brother wants to come back this time, but I definitely can’t let him return to the capital.”

Thinking of his impatient youngest son, Mr. Xu felt a headache coming on.

The border region was far from the Emperor’s reach, and he cursed the Emperor as an old man every day without the Emperor knowing, so this could not be considered disrespectful to the Emperor.

When they finally returned to the capital, he feared his son might blurt out something inappropriate, but the capital was not like the frontier.

Thinking of her Third Brother, Xu Lingyi smiled. Of course, she knew her Third Brother’s temper.

“They’ll be able to come back in a couple of years when the border is stable.” Mr. Xu said.

“Then our family will finally be able to reunite.”

They chatted for a while, and it was already noon.

“Let’s sit down and eat first. After we finish eating, you and your daughter can continue your conversation.” The Emperor said.

Seeing the smiles on Xu Lingyi’s face, he felt that letting General Xu enter the palace was the right thing to do.

However, Xu Lingyi didn’t eat much at this meal.

As soon as the dishes were served, she couldn’t stand the smell and ran to vomit again.

In the end, she ate a little bit in order to have a meal with her father.

Mr. Xu felt distressed.

The Emperor comforted him, “Yi’er started having these symptoms a few days ago. The imperial physicians have also come to see her. For now, we can only wait for this period to pass. In another month or two, she may get better.”

“What should we do during this time?” Mr. Xu asked.

When Mrs. Xu was pregnant, she also had similar symptoms, but they were not as severe.

“The imperial physicians are currently helpless.” The Emperor said, his voice filled with resignation.

Xu Lingyi was not feeling well, and her father did not stay in the palace for long either.

“Yi’er, get some rest. Father is going back now. I’ll come see you again next time.”

Xu Lingyi stood at the palace gate, waving goodbye.

She was already very content to be able to see her father this time.

After Mr. Xu left, Xu Lingyi threw herself into the Emperor’s arms and cried again.

The Emperor patted her back: “Your father has to attend the morning court every day when he is in the capital. After the morning court session ends, I will have him stay so that you and your father can have a meal together.”
