Chapter 1398 Why don't you ask me about Dragon Horn
It was late that night.
Xia Baoer heard Dequan say for the third time that the emperor had only eaten a little.
The little girl still carried a food box with fresh meat porridge and came outside the royal study.
Eunuch Dequan reminded in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, the Emperor doesn't eat or drink very much anymore. He has been staying inside for several days."
"A slave cannot interfere in politics and cannot persuade, but if he does not go to court, the ministers will also discuss it, which is not good for His Majesty."
Xia Baoer nodded: "Don't worry, little uncle Dequan, I'll try to communicate with daddy."
Eunuch Dequan wanted to say that the princess had lost weight.
The little girl's jaw is more pointed, her complexion is delicate, and her eyebrows are picturesque.
She is about to grow up to be a big girl.
But he just opened his mouth, but said nothing.
I was afraid that the emperor would hear it and think that he had blasphemed His Highness the Princess.
Xia Baoer patted the door: "Dad, can Baoer come in?"
Xia Hongmo's voice came quickly.
"Bao'er, daddy is tired today. It's already dark. You should go back and rest quickly."
That's why I don't want to see her yet.
Xia Baoer pursed her red lips.
In his dark eyes, grievance surged.
Inside, Xia Hongmo looked haggard, leaning on the table with his head propped up.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling complicated.
At this moment, he heard Dequan's exclamation coming from outside——
"His Royal Highness! Why are you kneeling!"
Xia Baoer's voice was calm: "Baoer knows that he has done something wrong. My father and I are angry and refuse to take good care of my body."
"Daddy is a father and has shown kindness to Baoer in raising him. Therefore, Baoer should kneel down and admit his mistake."
Eunuch Dequan frowned and stamped his feet: "Your Royal Highness, please get up first. It's night here and the wind is so strong that you can't blow it!"
Xia Bao'er kneeled straight.
"Uncle Dequan, there is no need to persuade him any more." At this moment, Xia Hongmo opened the door of the royal study from the inside.
The dim yellow, orange and warm colors of candles in the room suddenly flowed all over the place.
It illuminated Xia Baoer's tearful eyes and a small face that was too thin.
Xia Hongmo looked tired and his voice was full of exhaustion.
"Bao'er, dad didn't mean to embarrass you, so why are you doing this?"
Xia Baoer choked and said: "I have disappointed my father. I am willing to admit my mistake like this, but I beg my father to care about my body and not not to eat."
"If the country can't have no monarch a day, Baoer can't have no father."
Xia Hongmo stretched out his hand to help his daughter up.
He sighed heavily: "Come in and talk."
After entering, Eunuch Dequan closed the door, leaving a completely quiet space for the father and daughter to be alone.
Xia Baoer put the food box on the table. After opening it, there were a few shrimps in the fragrant meat porridge.
"Mom made this, dad eats it while it's hot."
Xia Hongmo picked up the spoon and quickly finished eating a bowl.
As if to reassure Xia Baoer, he turned the bowl over and showed it to her.
"Daddy has finished eating, Bao'er can rest assured."
Xia Baoer hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak.
"Dad, why don't you ask me about the dragon horns..."
Xia Hongmo raised his head.
The father's eyes were full of brilliance reflected by the lights.
"You are my daughter, no matter you have an extra pair of eyes or an extra nose than others. You are still my child."
"Dad once said that you can be a demon, a human, or a fairy. Aren't you all Daddy's daughter?"
Xia Hongmo lowered his head and sighed in exhaustion.
"I don't care who you are, Bao'er, you have to remember that daddy will always love and protect you, no matter who you are."
