Female Master: The Cold Prince

Yuling Palace.

When Xiahou Jiuyue arrived outside the hall, she heard laughter coming from inside.

Who would be with her father at this time?

"Lord Ling, His Royal Highness Prince Chen came to greet you and is waiting outside the palace."

Hearing this, the laughter and chatter in the hall suddenly stopped. Ling Guijun's voice trembled slightly, "Please invite the prince in."

After a moment, led by the palace servants, Xiahou Jiuyue strode over with steady steps.

Finally seeing the person he was worried about, Ling Guijun's eyes turned red and tears were about to fall uncontrollably.

For five years, he had been worried day and night, living in fear. He could not eat well and could not sleep, for fear that he would hear bad news when he woke up.

His daughter is his life. He only has this one daughter in his life. If anything happens to her, he will not be able to live.

"Your son greets you, father."

Seeing that tears were welling up in his eyes and he was trying hard not to let them fall, she felt both warm and sad in her heart.

In this strange world, the only people who truly care about her and worry about her are her father and the queen in front of her.

As for the others, they all wished she would die sooner, the more miserable the better.

"Get up quickly."

He wanted to help her up, but felt it was inappropriate to do so because of the people in the hall watching.

"Thank you, father."

Looking around the hall, except for a few people, most of them were new faces she had never seen before.

When Xiahou Jiuyue stood up, everyone in the hall bowed and greeted her.

"I have met His Highness King Chen."

"I have met His Highness King Chen."

"Xier meets the fourth sister." Xiahou Xi, who was standing next to her, walked forward and said.

His little face flushed red, he was very shy, and his beautiful eyes did not dare to look directly into the other person's eyes.

"You don't have to be polite, Ninth Brother." Xiahou Jiuyue said in a gentle tone.

The quiet little boy in front of her is her ninth brother, Xiahou Xi, whose biological father is Concubine Wen who entered the palace later.

During the past ten years, many new people entered her mother's harem, and therefore, she also had several more royal brothers and sisters.

"Xu'er has met her cousin."

At this time, Ling Chuanxu on the side could no longer suppress her inner throbbing and stepped forward pretending to be shy.

This time, seeing his cousin at such a close distance was even more stunning than when he saw her on the street, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.

"Cousin Ling, there's no need to be so polite." Xiahou Jiuyue said in a very light tone.

She didn't have much impression of this cousin, and it could be said that today was the first time they met.

She was quite surprised to see him here suddenly.

"Cousin~" Ling Chuanxu immediately became dissatisfied, with a face full of grievance.

What's wrong with my cousin's attitude? She's so cold to him. He's a little unhappy.

"Okay, Xuer." Ling Guijun frowned and said unhappily.

This nephew gave him a headache. He usually didn't come to the palace to pay respects, but it was such a coincidence that he came today.

"Brother Ling, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen has come all the way to visit you, and I'm sure you have a lot to say. I won't bother you here. I'll come another day." Concubine Wen said with a smile, holding Xiahou Xi beside her.

"Okay, I won't keep my brother here." He naturally had a lot to say.

"I'll take my leave."

After Concubine Wen took the Ninth Prince away, the other attendants also found excuses to leave.

Prince Chen returned triumphantly today, and those of them who were usually not favored by the Empress naturally wanted to curry favor with Lady Ling. Now that they had seen her, there was no reason for them to stay any longer.

"Uncle, you are not in good health and need to have a good rest. Xuer will come to see you another day. Xuer will go back first." At this time, Ling Chuanxu also said considerately.

Seeing that he was so well-behaved and sensible, Ling Guijun felt very relieved.

This child, who is usually arrogant and conceited, is so gentle, considerate and understanding today. It is really surprising.

"Okay, I know you are sensible and filial. Come to the palace and talk to me another day."

On weekdays, his Yuling Palace was deserted, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to occasionally.

"Yes, uncle. Xu'er will take his leave."

Before leaving, Ling Chuanxu glanced at the cold woman in the center of the hall with burning eyes, but the woman's eyes were indifferent and cold, and she did not look at him.

He felt lost and unwilling, and finally left angrily.

Noticing this slight abnormality, Ling Guijun's eyes flickered slightly, and he frowned slightly as he watched his nephew's departing back.

"Father, I have made you worry. I am unfilial." Having said that, Xiahou Jiuyue knelt down again.

Seeing her father's haggard face, she felt very uncomfortable, but if she was given another chance to choose, she would still make the same choice as before.

If she wants to control her own destiny and protect the people important to her, she has no choice but to fight to the death.

"Son, I think you have suffered a lot in the past few years. I know your decision back then. I don't blame you. Get up."

He also wants to protect his daughter and let her grow up happily and without harm.

But this palace is full of false accusations and if she is too naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, it will only harm her.

After all, he can't protect her forever. She has to walk the future path on her own. It's good that she can stand on her own now.

Looking at his daughter who looked so cold and elegant, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Originally, before meeting the person, he had a lot of things to say and a lot of questions to ask, but after meeting the person, he didn't know where to start.

Moreover, after not seeing each other for five years, my daughter's temperament has become more and more like the queen of that year, calm and sharp.

"Father, I heard that you fell ill a few days ago. Maybe you caught a cold at night, or maybe you fell ill because you were worried about me?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked with concern.

She didn't want to go deeper, there were some things she didn't want him to know in order to avoid dirtying his hands.

Hearing this, a dark light flashed across Ling Guijun's eyes, which disappeared in a flash, but was still keenly captured by Xiahou Jiuyue.

Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes darkened slightly and she quickly covered them, remaining expressionless on the surface.

"I accidentally caught a cold a few days ago, but it's not serious. I'm almost well now. Don't worry." He was very relieved that his daughter cared about his health.

"By the way, I heard that you were assassinated when you were returning to the capital. Were you injured?" Speaking of this, Ling Guijun's heart was lifted again.

“!!!” Xiahou Jiuyue was stunned for a moment.

How could my father know about this? She had clearly blocked all the news.

Did Ye Wu say that? No, Ye Wu couldn't have spread the news without her order.

Looking at her gentle and kind father in front of her, her heart was filled with complicated feelings for the first time.

Her father didn't seem as gentle and harmless as he appeared.

"My Lord, those people are not very skilled in martial arts and did not harm me. I have already dealt with them."

He already knew about this, so there was no need for her to hide it.

"Do you know who it is?" Ling Guijun asked with a dark look in his eyes.

"I don't know." Xiahou Jiuyue said truthfully.

It is hard to say whether this person is inseparable from those people in the palace, or he may be a new favorite in the palace.

Don't forget, she has several royal sisters.
