Chapter 101 Father and Daughter
The moonlight is bright and clear, the silver frost is vast, and the magpie bridge meets, and the love is endless.

Yesterday was the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of July. In the early morning of the eighth day, Princess Nine got up early, without even caring about wearing shoes, and ran to the table where the Qiqiao spiders were placed with bare feet.

When she couldn't wait to open the box and saw that there were only a few scattered spider threads inside, she immediately lost interest and threw the box on the ground, "What a crap, it's very boring!"

Linghua quickly picked up the box and persuaded: "Princess, this will offend Empress Qiaoshen."

The Ninth Princess gave her a sideways look. If she is offended, she will be offended. She is the Ninth Princess of Dayong Kingdom and the most beloved daughter of her father. Whatever she wants to do, someone will do it for her.
Linghua didn't dare to make a sound.

At this time, Ruifang, the maid of the ninth princess, came back with a food box. Seeing the ninth princess standing barefoot on the ground, she gave Linghua a hard look, "How do you serve the princess?"

Ruifang is the maid of honor next to the ninth princess, Linghua dare not argue with her, so she immediately finds clothes and shoes and socks, and waits for the ninth princess to put them on.Ruifang put the breakfast brought from the imperial dining room on the table, and served the nine princesses for breakfast.

After breakfast, Princess Jiu suddenly remembered something, and waved Ling Hua and the others to retreat.

When only she and Ruifang were left in the palace, she quickly asked, "Where did the emperor rest yesterday?"

Ruifang hesitated for a while before saying: "The Holy One stayed overnight in Wuji Palace yesterday."

Wuji Palace?Princess Jiu stood up abruptly, with a sullen expression on her face, "How can the father not keep his word, he clearly promised me that he will go to the mother's palace last night."

What the Ninth Princess said made Ruifang a little alarmed, "Princess, you must not talk about the Holy Majesty." There is no daughter in the world who can take care of her father's housework, let alone this father is the Ninth Five-Year King of Dayong.

The ninth princess was so depressed that she said to Ruifang, "Let's go, follow me to Wuji Palace, and see if the begging spider with your nobleman made a web last night."

"Princess, I can't go." Rui Fang hurriedly dissuaded her, if she was really allowed to go to Wuji Palace, Concubine Mei would definitely take the skin off of their slaves.

Princess Jiu's face darkened, "Why, I still can't help you?"

Ruifang shook her head again and again, "Princess, I really can't go, and"

Before Ruifang could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a loud male voice: "What's the matter, who is so bold as to provoke my Xiaojiu to be angry?"

It was Yuan Hedi who came.

Ruifang hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Ruifang is afraid, but Princess Nine is not. She has always been used to acting recklessly in front of Emperor Yuanhe, and has developed an arrogant and unruly character.

Seeing his son's father now, he didn't greet him or salute, but complained: "Father, do you still remember what you promised Xiaojiu yesterday?"

Yuan Hedi naturally remembered.

Yesterday his youngest daughter came to tell him that Concubine Mei had lost her appetite and lost a lot of weight in the recent bitter summer, so please go to Mixiu Palace to see her.

It's just that Emperor Yuanhe never liked concubines in the palace competing for favor through their heirs. Although he verbally agreed to the nine princesses, he never set foot in Mixiu Palace. Instead, he sent two imperial physicians to Mixiu Palace to diagnose Concubine Mei's pulse.

Concubine Mei is a smart person. After seeing the imperial physician, she understood what Emperor Yuanhe meant.

Princess Jiu didn't know that she had done something bad with good intentions, making Emperor Yuanhe think that Concubine Mei was testing him through Princess Jiu, so she couldn't help being a little more dissatisfied with Concubine Mei.

Of course, Concubine Mei is Concubine Mei, and Princess Nine is Princess Nine.

In the eyes of an old father who loves his daughter, no matter how arrogant his daughter is, she will not have any bad intentions.

"I heard that you also caught begging spiders on the Qiqiao Festival yesterday. Show me soon, have you made a web yet?"

It is true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Princess Jiu's face froze, "It's just a spider's web, what does the emperor think of that thing?"

Yuan Hedi knew that the little daughter's begging spider hadn't made a web, he smiled and shook his head, "It seems that Xiao Jiu is still not as dexterous as your third sister. Back then, your third sister was the last one in the palace before she got married. Qiqiao Festival, the Qiqiao spider box is full of spider silk."

Hearing Emperor Yuanhe's praise of the third princess, Princess Ninth's jealousy suddenly came up, "Father is partial, and only knows how to love third sister."

"Why did Xiao Jiu say that?"

"As soon as the third sister reached Ji, the emperor gave her a marriage with her childhood sweetheart cousin, and sent her out of the court as soon as she turned 16." The ninth princess said unhappily: "It's my turn. I know that I like elder brother Shizi. You have begged you so many times before you are willing to grant the marriage. It has been so long since the marriage was granted, and you still refuse to discuss the marriage date with Marquis Pingning."

The more the nine princesses talked, the more angry they became, "Is the father going to leave me as the old princess?"

Yuan Hedi didn't expect his daughter to think so, he was stunned for a moment and then lightly reprimanded: "You are a daughter's family, how can you open your mouth and shut your mouth about being married."

Ninth Princess snorted.

Yuan Hedi glanced at her, "Your third sister and the third son-in-law grew up together, and your in-law's family is your uncle's family, so father is willing to marry your third sister. You are different, you and Wu."

Before he could finish his sentence, Princess Nine started arguing with him, "Elder Brother Shizi and I are also childhood sweethearts, and we know everything. Third sister can leave the court at 16. I am seventeen now, which is the right age for me to leave the court."

Seeing that her words became more and more outrageous, the smile on Yuan Hedi's face disappeared.

Wu Han is a good courtier, but it doesn't mean he can be a good husband.If it wasn't for his youngest daughter's begging, he would never have thought of promising her to Wu Han.

He has not set a date for their marriage for a long time, one is to wait for the completion of the Princess Mansion, and the other is to take advantage of the time before they get married to investigate Wu Han carefully.

Unexpectedly, his investigation of the future son-in-law has not yet finished, and his own daughter hates getting married.

At this moment, Yuan Hedi hated iron but not steel.

Seeing that Princess Jiu's eyes were red, Yuan Hedi couldn't help but soften his tone, "Silly girl, do you think the emperor is harming you by staying with you for one more year?"

Gently tapped the nose of Princess Nine, "There is a common problem among men in the world. The easier it is to get something, the less cherished it will be after getting it. Only those who have worked hard to get it will cherish it."

Yuan Hedi's original intention was to make his daughter wake up, not to lower his self-worth to chase Wu Han, but to let Wu Han treat her nicely instead.But Princess Jiu couldn't understand the old father's painstaking efforts at all. She asked Yuan Hedi: "Is the father emperor also one of the men in the world?"

Yuan Hedi's face froze for a moment, and then he said with a straight face: "Look at what you are talking about, is this what Concubine Mei usually teaches you?"

Hearing that he blamed his mother and concubine, Princess Jiu argued: "Father is so strange, it was obviously you who said this, why did it involve my mother and concubine?"

The daughter is eloquent and doesn't listen to instruction, and Yuan Hedi is reluctant to scold her, so he simply leaves her alone.

He said: "Wu Han is taking a rest today, I allow you to go out of the palace to play with him."

At the end, he added a sentence: "Don't let go of the guards."

Princess Jiu thought she had heard it wrong, and when she realized it, she grabbed Yuan Hedi's arm, "Xiao Jiu, thank you, father, the best."

Yuan Hedi smiled helplessly, it's really a girl who doesn't want to stay.
