Everyone in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was busy preparing for the arrival of the Crown Prince's future father-in-law.
Although this was not the first time the prince met his fiancée's elders, it was the first time he met his future father-in-law, so he naturally had to treat it with utmost respect.
However, on the day when Yu Shangheng came to the capital, Jiang Shi and Yu Tanqi were waiting in the Queen's Palace for him to take him back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion after he had an audience with the Emperor, but they were told that he had already left and returned to his mansion in the capital.
The eunuch who delivered the message said, "Master Yu said that he would meet with Miss Yu and Prince Jiang after he settled down."
It would be a lie for Yu Tanqi to say that she was not surprised and disappointed, but she still smiled and rewarded the eunuch who delivered the message.
Jiang Shi looked at her worriedly, and at the same time was very confused as to why Yu Shangheng didn't come to see his daughter first.
His shoulder gently rested against the girl's slender and soft shoulder, and he whispered soothingly, "Uncle Yu must be too tired after traveling all the way to the capital, so he wants to rest well before coming to see you."
She responded softly, not knowing whether she believed the excuse he found for Yu Shangheng.
In fact, Yu Tanqi knew in his heart that if a person really wanted to see another person, he would not waste even a moment of time and just wanted to see the other person as soon as possible.
This is true whether it is a couple or parents and children.
Yu Tanqi suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She blinked her eyes and pursed her lips, trying not to show her sadness and worry Jiang Shi.
Yu Tanqi didn't know how he left the palace.
When she came to her senses, her hand was gently held by Jiang Shi, and the two of them were sitting in a spacious carriage.
She looked at Jiang Shi, whose eyes were looking at her gently.
He said gently, "Tan Qi, don't let your imagination run wild. Uncle Yu only has you as his daughter, so naturally he cares about you. It's just that you two haven't seen each other for many years, and he might not know how to face you right now. He's also tired from the long journey, so he didn't come to see you right away."
"Yeah." She nodded obediently, but her beautiful pupils were still dazed.
The girl pursed her rosy lips, her pink face looked depressed, and she looked like a pitiful raccoon, which made people's hearts melt.
He sighed softly and held her in his arms, patting her back gently with his big hands as if he was coaxing a child.
"If you feel bad, just say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart and feel sad by yourself. If you do this, I will also feel bad and distressed."
When you love someone to the extreme, you will probably feel what she feels and be hurt by what she is hurt by.
Seeing Yu Tanqi's lost and uncomfortable look, Jiang Shi's heart also tightened and he felt very uncomfortable.
Yu Tanqi leaned her face against his chest and whispered, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
She blinked her eyes, her nose felt sore, and she almost shed tears.
"I thought he would really want to see me..."
The girl's soft voice trembled with a hint of tears.
No matter how heartless Yu Tanqi may appear on a daily basis, she is actually a little girl who longs to be cared for and loved.
Before she knew that she was the original owner, the reason why she didn't dare to see Yu Shangheng was that she thought that as the original owner's father, Yu Shangheng must love his only daughter very much and would be able to recognize at a glance that she was not the original owner. That's why she was so panicked and didn't dare to meet him.
But after knowing that he was the original owner, those uneasy emotions instantly turned into incredible surprise.
It turned out that all of this was hers. It was not something she obtained by accident, nor was it something she illegally possessed.
She has family and a home.
When she woke up today, Yu Tanqi was particularly excited and expectant because she was finally going to see her father.
It turns out that she did have parents, and her parents loved her very much and never thought of giving up on her.
Her mother even did a lot for her so that she could grow up well.
My mother's gentle voice, appearance and smile seem to be still vivid in my memory. They are deeply engraved in my memory and have never been erased. However, as time goes by, the memory has become more and more vague.
But when she looked at her face in the mirror, she knew that she looked three points like her mother, and her mother's face when she was young could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows and eyes.
She bears some resemblance to her father.
She was looking forward to seeing her father.
But Yu Tanqi suddenly realized that her father might not be looking forward to seeing her.
Jiang Shi felt so distressed when he heard this that he hugged her slender and soft body tightly and comforted her gently: "Uncle Yu must also want to see you, otherwise he wouldn't have written to tell you specifically, don't let your imagination run wild."
He wanted to say something good for Yu Shangheng, but the always reasonable Prince Jiang didn't know how to speak to make Yu Tanqi feel better.
Jiang Shi was naturally dissatisfied that Yu Shangheng did not come to see Yu Tanqi first.
And if he couldn't see her right away, why didn't he tell her earlier, causing her to wait and get nervous for the whole day in vain, and even go to the palace to wait for him.
If it were someone else, Jiang Shi would definitely be narrow-minded, but he happened to be Yu Tanqi's biological father.
He could only hold her tightly and comfort her clumsily.
He lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows lovingly, fortunately he didn't kiss the tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Tan Qi, don't be sad. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. I will always be with you."
She blinked, and her originally uncomfortable and depressed mood became brighter because of his serious and gentle kiss and his words that sounded like promises.
Yu Tanqi is not a girl who easily falls into sadness and cannot extricate herself.
After she felt bad, she soon got over it.
After all, they haven't seen each other for so many years. If Yu Shangheng wanted to see her, he would have come to see her a long time ago. It is normal that he didn't come to see her immediately after arriving in Beijing.
She sniffed and smiled, "I know my father isn't good at expressing his emotions. It's normal that he didn't come to see me right away. In his heart, my mother and political affairs are the most important things."
The more she talked, the more pitiful she seemed. She quickly changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's just take a walk and see the scenery today. The Flower Festival is coming soon."
Jiang Shi considerately didn't expose her, "Well, how would Tan Qi like to celebrate the Flower Festival this year?"
"Just like last year, it's fine to spend the night in the mansion. I don't really like too many people outside."
Yes, she likes quietness and doesn't like to be with too many people. She can't handle it.
Jiang Shi naturally followed her lead.
The two are the same in this respect. They don't like crowds and prefer quiet solitude.
In the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, apart from practicing martial arts, training hawks, and taking walks, the two of them would just stay together quietly, each reading their own books.
Since confessing, Yu Tanqi no longer hides anything and reads the storybook openly in front of Jiang Shi.
The bookshelf in Jiang Shi's study, which was originally filled with serious books, is now filled with several erotic storybooks.
The servant who was in charge of cleaning and tidying up the study saw these storybooks and almost threw them away as garbage, but he never expected that his gentle prince would stop him personally.
"That's the storybook Tan Qi likes to read. Put it away. It won't do if it's missing any of its parts."
