Female Master: The Cold Prince

All of a sudden, all the court officials in the hall came to a unanimous agreement, asking the Queen to revoke her decision.

Xiahou Shaohua looked at this group of civil and military officials with an increasingly fierce look in his eyes.

"According to what you said, the status of the princess is too low and it will affect the reputation of the royal family. But when has our great Fenglin Dynasty ever needed a man to support the dignity of the country?"

"I would like to ask you, when you first entered the official career and I promoted you to higher positions, were your status at that time qualified for your current official positions?"

"Or, do you think there is anyone who can take on the position of the Grand Lady?"

This group of old guys usually form their own factions, but today it is rare for them to form a united front.

"This..." Everyone was suddenly speechless.

Looking at this group of speechless courtiers, Xiahou Shaohua's expression eased a little. If any minister really dared to recommend a candidate to her, she would not mind clearing the court on the spot.

Finally, under Xiahou Shaohua's thundering suppression, the princess finally got engaged to the son of a fourth-rank official. Even though the princess resisted a lot in her heart, it was of no avail.

Faced with the majesty of the empress, the court officials did not dare to act rashly. Although the empress's behavior had become much gentler over the years, she was still a superior after all. Anyone who dared to disobey would be killed without mercy!

On New Year's Eve, the princess's wedding slowly came to an end.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Many people tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, because of the arranged marriage tonight.

The Queen's actions tonight really left the court officials puzzled. No one knew what secret was hidden in them.

After coming out of the hall, Xiahou Jiuyue was worried about going to look for someone when suddenly a voice called her.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, Lord Ling has something important to discuss with you. Please move to Yuling Palace." The maid serving in Yuling Palace delivered the message.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue felt helpless and finally followed the palace maid to Yuling Palace.

Inside Yuling Palace.

As soon as Xiahou Jiuyue stepped into the hall, Ling Yiqing immediately saw the hint of worry between her brows.

"Your son greets you, father." Xiahou Jiuyue bowed.

Ling Yiqing looked at his outstanding daughter in front of him and sighed slightly: "Yuer, since your mother has granted you this marriage, you don't have to think too much. Your father thinks that Master Ji has a good character and is a good match for you."

"As for the matter of the Crown Prince, let me say something unpleasant. His status is still low. If he were a concubine, it might be okay. But if you want to marry him, your mother will definitely not be able to pass the test."

"Don't be alienated from your mother for a man. Otherwise, how will the ministers who support you feel? Then, it will only push him into the cusp of the storm. Is this what you want?"

Xiahou Jiuyue lowered her eyes and pursed her thin lips slightly. How could she not know what her father said?

However, she never expected that her mother would not tolerate any mistakes in her marriage. Just when she was about to announce her relationship, she was strangled to death in the cradle.

"Father, don't worry. I have my own considerations."

Ling Yiqing looked at her cold face, his eyes flashing, and said: "Yuer, there are some things that you have never said, but as your father, I know what you are thinking."

"If you still want to pursue your original intention, don't disobey your mother, otherwise it will all be in vain. Do you understand?"

He had watched his daughter grow up. She was a shrewd and resourceful person. He didn't want to see her die because of a man. He needed to wake her up and not do anything that she would regret.

"Don't worry, father. I understand. My original intention has always been there and will never change because of others." Xiahou Jiuyue said with a firm look.

Her original intention will never change easily. Everything she does now is to pave the way for the future. Every step she takes is made after careful consideration.

Hearing this, Ling Yiqing nodded slightly, and then said: "In this case, how do you plan to deal with the matter of Prince Nanyang?"

He really loved that child, but it was a pity that as heirs of the royal family, how many of them could decide their own marriages?

Yue'er has her responsibilities and burdens. So many court officials have high hopes for her, and even His Majesty has high hopes for her. So, how could she let them down and abandon everyone's high hopes for her?

Xiahou Jiuyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Father, I will not let anyone down, nor will I put him in dire straits. I will only protect him and prevent him from getting hurt. This is my promise to him."

"As for how I will act in the future, please rest assured, I have made my own arrangements."

Seeing that she was still stubborn about this matter and insisted on her own opinion, Ling Yiqing sighed slightly inwardly.

Having said that, he couldn't force her will. As for what would happen next, he would just have to wait and see!

After leaving Yuling Palace, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes instantly became gloomy. She was the master of her own life, and no one could influence her.

It was already late at night. When she arrived at the palace gate, she saw that all the carriages outside the palace had left, leaving only the carriage from her mansion.

"Master, Ye Si just reported that Ye Yi has safely sent Master Yu back to the Prince's Mansion. Please rest assured, Master." Ye Er suddenly appeared and said.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue paused and frowned unconsciously.

When Ye Er saw this, his heart skipped a beat. Ye Yi was too presumptuous this time, as he sent Master Yu back to the mansion without permission.

As a secret guard beside the prince, how could she not see that Ye Yi had the wrong thoughts? If the prince noticed anything, Ye Yi's life would be in danger.

"Tell Ye Yi that she doesn't have to go back to Prince Chen's Mansion in the future. Let her stay in the Prince's Mansion to serve!" There was no emotion in Xiahou Jiuyue's voice, it was so cold that it seemed to have no temperature at all.

Ye Er was stunned. Let Ye Yi stay in the Prince's Mansion from now on? Wouldn't that be fulfilling her wish?

Didn't the master discover anything?

"Master, this..." she said hesitantly.

She didn't know how to start. Was she going to push Ye Yi to death? But if she didn't say it, wouldn't that be betraying her master?

If this were the case, how could she have the face to serve her master?

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at her with a dark look in her eyes and said, "Do your own thing and go down!"

Seeing this, Ye Er had no choice but to swallow all the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said, "Yes."

The master is such a shrewd person, how could he not see any clues? I think he wants to give Ye Yi a chance.

Since the establishment of Yusha Pavilion, Ye Yi has been following his master. Over the years, he has followed his master into battle and gone through life and death together. The master no longer regards Ye Yi as an ordinary subordinate, but a friend with whom he has been through life and death together, or even a comrade-in-arms.

She was the same. She could understand her master's feelings and only hoped that Ye Yi could also understand and not let down her master's painstaking cultivation and the deep master-servant relationship between them.
