The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Chapter 423 Is your daughter your biological child?

He never imagined that the burden of Daxuan would fall on a woman like Yan'er.

Si Zhengxuan once thought that as a father, he could take on everything for this girl.

Unexpectedly, this girl eventually took on the responsibility of ruling Daxuan.

Si Yan heard the heartache in her father's tone and couldn't help but go over and hold his arm: "Dad, your daughter misses you so much."

Her tone was affectionate and a bit coquettish, and Si Zhengxuan's heart softened immediately.

"Silly girl, come inside and talk." Si Zhengxuan curled the corners of his lips and a smile appeared on his face.

Since they parted in Yan State, he and this girl have never spoken to each other like father and daughter.

In the palace, she was the regent and he was the grand tutor, both of them had their own identities.

Only in this family did he feel like her father and could care for her like a father.

As soon as the father and daughter entered the study, someone came forward to pour tea.

When Lan Wei heard Si Yan's return, she immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a fruit plate: "Miss, you don't like snacks, but you like fruit. Send it to her quickly."

After Lan Wei finished speaking, she started busying herself in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

A servant who was stoking the fire couldn't help but ask, "It's still early, are we going to make dinner now?"

"Well, I have to hurry," Lan Wei said as she worked. "Otherwise it will be too late. I need to make some nourishing soup for the young lady, and it will take quite a while to stew."

Yan'er hasn't been home for a long time. This time when she comes back, she will definitely chat with the master for a while.

This time was enough for her to make a sumptuous dinner.

The old housekeeper Si Hong personally brought over the fruit plate. When Si Yan saw the bright yellow loquats on the plate, he smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Hong, these loquats were prepared by Aunt Lan, right?"

"How would you know, young lady?" Hong Bo said with a kind smile.

"Because Aunt Lan prepares loquats for me every year."

Si Yan smiled, picked up a loquat, peeled it, and fed it to Si Zhengxuan.

"Father, eat."

"I won't eat it. It's too sour. You eat it." Si Zhengxuan looked at his daughter with a smile.

Si Hong retreated with a smile on his face. He hadn't seen his master so happy for a long time.

"How is it sour? It's very sweet." Si Yan smiled and broke off a piece of loquat flesh and fed it to his father.

Si Zhengxuan had no choice but to eat a piece, but it was so sour that his teeth were about to fall out.

"Hahaha..." Si Yan laughed heartily and started eating, enjoying the food very much.

A smile appeared in Si Zhengxuan's eyes. This girl came back today and even took some time to chat and laugh with him.

"Yan'er, you must be exhausted after spending so much time in the palace, right?"

Si Zhengxuan looked at his daughter, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes. The girl looked a little thinner.

"No, father, your daughter is full of energy and can handle these things with ease."

Si Zhengxuan knew that the girl was just tired and wouldn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing his father's silence, Si Yan couldn't help but explain: "It's just that I just took over recently, so I'm a little slow in handling things. As I become more proficient, it will become easier and easier."

"Not slow anymore." As the Grand Tutor, Si Zhengxuan had read many memorials, and Jia Zhongchun would come to him for advice on many questions.

This girl handles memorials faster than His Majesty. Moreover, she can make decisions on her own on many matters that should have been decided by court officials, and her handling methods are extremely appropriate.

Si Zhengxuan couldn't help but marvel that his daughter was born with the talent to handle state affairs.

Si Yan ate the loquat and brought up business: "Father, the Marquis of Han sent a concubine's daughter to the capital instead of the legitimate son. I decided to make the best of it. The court will recognize this concubine's daughter as the Marquis of Han's son."

Si Yan's words contained a lot of information and were very surprising.

Si Zhengxuan thought about it for a while, sorted out the joints inside, and found the problem.

"Marquis Han may not agree."

Since Marquis Han dared to let a concubine's daughter replace the crown prince, he should have thought about the consequences of disobeying the court, and he should have the confidence to rebel against the court.

Si Yan's eyebrows curved: "So, my daughter would like to trouble father to go to the Marquis of Han's fiefdom."

"So that's how it is." Si Zhengxuan understood that this girl wanted to use force to put pressure on Marquis Han.

"There's no problem on my father's side." Si Zhengxuan took a sip of tea and appeared calm and composed.

"How many people do you plan to send?" Si Zhengxuan looked at his daughter.

"Thirty thousand." Si Yan chuckled, "My daughter has already announced to the public that if Marquis Han does not comply, the imperial court will send a hundred thousand troops to attack Marquis Han's fiefdom."

"You little girl, I've never seen anyone as bluffing as you..."

Although Si Zhengxuan said this, there was a smile under his thick brows.

Si Yan knew at a glance that his father was confident.

"I'm sorry, father. Mo Han is still in the southwest, and my brother has to train his troops. The people my daughter has trained haven't yet completed their apprenticeship, and the capital can't do without Boya, so I can only trouble you for the time being."

Si Yan has always known that his father is a very powerful man with both literary and military talents.

But it was not until the Battle of Mobei that she truly witnessed her father's military talent.

My father is a descendant of the Si family and can even be the commander-in-chief of an army, let alone dealing with a mere Marquis Han?

"Father knows. Don't worry. I will take care of the matter concerning Marquis Han."

"I love you~" Si Yan acted coquettishly towards her father, and Si Zhengxuan's old face turned red.

"You little girl..." Si Zhengxuan took a long time to organize his words, "Are you always like this in front of Prince Yan?"

"Hahaha, I won't tell you..." Si Yan couldn't help laughing. Her father was obviously not used to her way of acting coquettishly.

Seeing that his daughter was happy, Si Zhengxuan didn't say anything.

Si Yan was laughing, and suddenly stopped.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the kind middle-aged man in front of her: "Father, is this daughter your biological child?"

Si Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you are my father's biological child."

Si Zhengxuan felt that something was wrong with this girl, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Si Yan took a sip of water and said, "My daughter met with the Emperor of Beimang this time. When he saw my daughter, he was stunned and called out my mother's name. It's obvious that the Emperor of Beimang knew my mother."

"Yes, he did know your mother." Si Zhengxuan paused, "That's why your father gave you your mother's hairpin. Did he see her?"

"I saw it. My daughter threw it in front of him. He was shocked to see it from a distance."

Si Zhengxuan didn't say anything else. This incident happened more than ten years ago. It was a forgotten memory. If it was opened, many things would be involved.

"Father, I have a question in my mind. Mother is the third daughter of Duke Pei's mansion. Logically, she has no connection with the Emperor of Beimang. How do they know each other?"
