59 Attention (2/2)

When XuanLi heard Xu Ji An's conformation, he almost swayed and fell on the floor.

How did XuanRong know the Crown Prince?

Was the Crown Prince interested with his eldest daughter?

When did they met?

What should he do? Would he call XuanRong?

XuanLi was trying to think thoroughly and at the same time, he could not help but resent XuanRong for catching the Crown Prince's attention and destroying everything. He had been planning to make the Crown Prince fall for his beloved daughter, XuanFei, and push them to a matrimonial tie once she reaches the marriageable age, making her the Imperial Consort of the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that the Crown Prince would not even spare a glance at her and would demand to meet XuanRong, this arrogant and stupid daughter of his?

Sensing the hidden alienation coming off from XuanRong when she exchanged words of ridicule with his wife few moments ago, XuanLi knew that his eldest daughter was not fond of him and the Xuan family. A piece he could not control should be discarded without having any second thought.

'No! I won't allow this! Both of them should not meet!'

Thinking of the long-term result, XuanLi knew that if he wanted to become the father of the Empress, he should not allow any unwanted person to destroy the plot he painstakingly planned.

”Err… Your Highness ahh… m-my eldest daughter has already retired to her own courtyard. This lowly official is afraid that she is already asleep. May Your Highness pardon this lowly official for refusing Your Highness' good intention.”

XuanLi was secretly wiping his sweat. He feared that Xu Ji An would certainly get angry at him for rejecting his proposal.

Xu Ji An's face turned dark when he heard XuanLi's refusal. He opened his mouth, wanting to show his anger when XuanFei spoke.

”Father, why not send someone to inquire if DaJie is still awake or not? Fei'er is also curious about DaJie's life in the suburbs. If she is already asleep, we can just tell her maidservants to wake her up. I believe DaJie would wholeheartedly comply once she learns that the Crown Prince is here to exchange pointers with her.”

Hearing XuanFei's sensible statement, Xu Ji An could not help but stare at her, making XuanFei bashfully smile back at him.
