Female Master: The Cold Prince

Seeing this, Ling Yiqing couldn't help but feel more satisfied, thinking that this was a child who knew etiquette.

Suddenly, the gentleness on his face was replaced by majesty, and an aura of authority without anger emanated from him instantly.

"Sir, I heard that you have been living in Prince Chen's Mansion. His Majesty has already granted you a mansion, why haven't you moved into the Prince's Mansion yet?"

Seeing this, Yu Suyuan was stunned for a moment, and his originally relaxed mood instantly became tense again.

"My Lord and Father, I am planning to move out of Prince Chen's Mansion in two days. I was delayed before because of something else, which led to the delay today." He was panicked in his heart, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face.

"That's great. You and the Prince of Chen are a single man and a single woman. If you always live in the Prince of Chen's mansion, you might be criticized. Now that you've become my adopted son, it's better for you to avoid suspicion." The majestic aura on Ling Yiqing disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

"Yes." Yu Suyuan said uncomfortably.

Does Ling Guijun care about his background?

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Ling Yiqing's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and said: "My Lord, I heard that you were born in a poor family, from an ordinary family. I guess there are many etiquette rules that no one has taught you. So, let's do this!"

"After a few days, when you move out of Prince Chen's Mansion, you can come to the palace. First, I will ask Lin Xuan to teach you etiquette and rules, so that you will not lose your manners in front of His Majesty and the court officials in the future."

"Secondly, I have no one to talk to in Yuling Palace. If you come to the palace, you can help me relieve my boredom. Are you willing?"

If he entered the palace, he would not be able to meet with Prince Chen often. Yu Suyuan naturally wanted to know this, but he did not show any hesitation and said directly: "I am willing. It is my blessing to receive the teachings of my father."

There was no reluctance in his eyes, only clarity and seriousness.

Seeing this, Ling Yiqing showed satisfaction again. He was a good kid. If he was trained well in the future, he would be no worse than those spoiled aristocratic children in the capital.

Afterwards, he roughly asked some basic questions. As time passed, Yu Suyuan was no longer as nervous as before, but instead talked freely with Ling Yiqing.

Laughter could be heard from time to time in the hall, and Ling Yiqing became more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him.

It’s just a pity that if he had a better family background, he and Yue’er would be a perfect match.

Time unknowingly came to noon. The court meeting had ended and Xiahou Jiuyue was hurried to the harem.

She was worried that Yu Suyuan had never been to the palace, and was afraid that he would be bullied by some blind person in the palace.

When she arrived outside Yuling Palace and heard the harmonious voices coming from inside, her heart finally settled down.

The two people in the palace were chatting happily when a palace servant suddenly came in to report, interrupting their discussion, "Noble Lord Ling, His Royal Highness Prince Chen has come to the palace to pay his respects and is now waiting outside the palace."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yiqing's first reaction was to look at the person below. He saw a gleam of joy in his eyes and the smile on his face became even wider. It was a kind of joy of being about to see his beloved.

He retracted his gaze and said to Gong Nan, "Please come in, Prince Chen!"

"Yes."

In less than a moment, Xiahou Jiuyue, dressed in court robes, walked towards them with steady steps. She looked in the direction of Yu Suyuan and saw that he looked relaxed with a smile on his face, so she knew that he had not been bullied.

"Your son greets you, father."

She stood straight in the middle of the hall, and raised her eyebrows slightly to signal Yu Suyuan beside her. Seeing this, Yu Suyuan lowered his head and smiled, with a blush on the tips of his ears.

"Get up! The court has just been dismissed, but you are so impatient to come and pay your respects to your father. Is there something important?" Ling Yiqing said with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xiahou Jiuyue was slightly surprised. Was her father teasing her?

"Father, you are my father and the person I respect the most. I have to be more active in paying my respects to you so as not to disappoint you."

"You're the only one who can say it." Ling Yiqing said with a helpless smile.

The father and daughter chatted about family matters for a while, and then Ling Yiqing turned his attention to Yu Suyuan.

"Sir, I have something to ask Prince Chen. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

Xiahou Jiuyue naturally knew what he wanted to ask, so she nodded slightly to Yu Suyuan. Seeing this, Yu Suyuan could only follow Ye Yi and retreat out of the hall.

There were no outsiders in the palace, and Xiahou Jiuyue said solemnly, "Father, do you want to ask about the matter between me and the princess?"

She knew that nothing could be hidden from her father.

"Yes, why did you choose to walk with the princess?" Ling Yiqing asked with confusion in his eyes.

On the surface, he and Feng Jun seemed to be keeping to themselves, but they could not resist each other's secret schemes.

It can be said that Yue'er and the princess have no friendship. What's more, the princess has always regarded Yue'er as a competitor. How could she let down her guard and make friends with her?

Xiahou Jiuyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, do you know the current situation?"

"Of course I know." He frowned.

He knew very well that the Crown Princess was being targeted by Prince Xian and Prince Duan. Because of this, Lord Feng was so anxious that he couldn't sleep or eat well. If he wasn't having a good time, then the concubines in the harem wouldn't have an easy time either.

"Recently, the Second Princess's behavior has often displeased Mother, and she has also become alienated from the court officials who supported her. At this moment, in the entire court, only I can help her out of this predicament." Xiahou Jiuyue said meaningfully.

Ling Yiqing frowned slightly. The Crown Princess was targeted by Prince Duan because Prince Duan blamed the Crown Princess for Concubine Lian's death.

The death of Lian Cejun was actually caused by him, and Feng Jun never gave up looking for evidence, but always to no avail.

This time Yue'er chose to stand on the side of the princess, probably because she didn't know about Lian Cejun's affairs.

"What's your reason for choosing to side with the princess?"

"Father, if one day my Second Princess loses her position as Crown Princess, who do you think will benefit the most?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked back.

Since she returned triumphantly and became famous, she has gained a lot of support from the people.

Not only that, she holds military power and controls hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court. This is undoubtedly the biggest threat to anyone.

Although the Queen Mother dotes on her, which emperor in history did not guard against and fear those who hold military power?

With the pressure from the Crown Princess above her, she might be able to keep a low profile. But once the Crown Princess was deposed, she, who had the highest support in the court, would be the first to arouse the suspicion of her mother.

Once the emperor's heart becomes suspicious, it will never end. By then, one can imagine what awaits her.

"So, you agreed to the princess's solicitation." Ling Yiqing was such a shrewd person that he knew her intention immediately.

"That's right, I am not interested in that position. I do this just to protect myself." If she hadn't thought of this, she would have wanted to stay out of it and concentrate on watching the show.

Hearing these words, an unknown emotion flashed across Ling Yiqing's eyes.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a dark look in her eyes, "Father, don't worry. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
