Chapter 1153: Wouldn’t It Be Perfect to Be Your Godfather?
Long Xiyuan nearly couldn’t stay seated.He was originally reclining leisurely against his chair back, but upon hearing the words he immediately sat up straight.
"I’ve promised you benefits comparable to half the empire, and yet you still feel it’s not enough?"
"Zhi’er, I don’t think you are someone who’s not content!"
Bai Zhi’er licked her lips, "Hmm... How should I put it to you..."
"Even if you don’t give me these, I can still hold a nation."
The Feng Fuce and others beside her realized Bai Zhi’er intended to reveal her identity to Long Xiyuan upon hearing this.
Bai Xingye seized the opportunity to say, "Moreover, what you’ve given only added to her responsibilities."
Long Xiyuan furrowed his brow, "You’re all getting me confused."
Bai Zhi’er coughed lightly, "I haven’t told you, my true identity is actually Princess."
"Princess?" Long Xiyuan laughed, clearly thinking Bai Zhi’er was joking: "Could it be more noble than the Princess Ningding I’ve given?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded, blinking her big eyes as she said, "Not only that, but my father only has one daughter, me."
Long Xiyuan squinted his eyes, starting to feel something was off.
Because Bai Zhi’er’s expression did not seem like she was joking.
Bai Zhi’er continued, "If I don’t work hard, I might become a Female Emperor in the future."
"Also, my father does better than you in that he has no other concubines, only my mother as his wife!"
By this point, Long Xiyuan had already vaguely guessed her identity.
He furrowed his suspicious brows and hissed, "No concubines, only one daughter..."
"Could you be the Princess of Great Chu, Cuicuo?" Long Xiyuan asked in a deep voice.
Bai Zhi’er pursed her lips into a smile and nodded obediently.
Long Xiyuan murmured, "Jing Zhi... Bai Zhi’er... So that’s how it is!"
He thoroughly understood it now.
No wonder, when he previously investigated Bai Zhi’er and the others, his spied reported their ship was coming from Great Chu.
And there were many clothes, jewelry, and food on the ship.
If it was just a few people on the ship, there’s no need for so much food.
Now Long Xiyuan realized, it must be they carried Hidden Guards with them.
The number was likely substantial.
Long Xiyuan’s first reaction was surprise, but then he actually laughed.
"Isn’t it fitting? Your biological father is an emperor, and so am I! I’m supposedly two years younger than Bai Xilie, wouldn’t it be perfect for me to be your godfather?"
Bai Zhi’er was stunned.
How did he start feeling happy on his own!
She blinked her long eyelashes, "Aren’t you suspicious of my purpose in coming to Great Qin?"
Long Xiyuan’s sharp eyes were filled with amusement, as he leisurely leaned back in his chair again.
"What’s there to doubt? If you had bad intentions, you would have shown your hand long ago."
"I trust my judgment about people; you’re not here to divide Great Qin."
He looked towards Guoguo, "It’s for your friend, isn’t it?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded, briefly explaining her purpose of coming to Long Xiyuan.
Upon hearing, Long Xiyuan’s gaze held a touch of sentiment.
"What a loyal Xiuluo Guard, united as one, truly rare."
Long Xiyuan looked at Feng Fuce, "Marquis Wan, I’ve long heard of your name, but didn’t expect such a handsome young man."
"I see you have skills; you can stay in Great Qin with Princess Ningding, and I assure you wealth and honor, no mistreatment!"
Bai Zhi’er waved her hand repeatedly, "No, I still have to return to accompany my father!"
Long Xiyuan felt a bit jealous hearing her refusal so decisively.
"Of course, your biological father is important, but I won’t compare so badly; I would also care for a daughter."
