Translator: Lonelytree

” Father! Father!” In the royal study, the Ninth Princess ignored Eunuch

Zhang’s obstruction and barged into the royal study without any scruples.

Seeing that the Emperor was reading the memorial, she smiled and walked over. She hugged Yuwen Longyan’s arm and asked,” Father, where have you been recently? I’ve missed you so much.”

Yuwen Longyan put down the memorial and asked with a smile,” Oh) Ling ‘er still misses me? I thought that when I wasn’t in the palace, you would be the happiest?”

The ninth princess, Yuwen Ling, said coquettishly,” Father, I’m not like what you said! I only like to play a little.”

Yuwen Longyan smiled and asked, “Playful? Did you not hang Minister Zhang’s son from a tree, or did you not almost destroy Minister Li’s precious grandson’s roots? Or perhaps, you don’t like someone and gave them a few whips?”

He understood his daughter. She was willful, arrogant, unreasonable, and so on.

The reason why he turned a blind eye to his daughter’s actions was that among so many daughters, she was the only one who would come to talk to him from time to time or act coquettishly.

He was often lonely in his high position, so his daughter became the only person he could use to relieve his boredom.

Therefore, as long as his daughter did not cause any great trouble, he would dote on her.

When Yuwen Ling heard this, she could not help but stick out her tongue.” So you know everything, Father!”

Yuwen Longyan snorted coldly.” The moment I returned to the palace, I received a large number of complaints from the civil and military officials. Do you think I wouldn’t know?”

Yuwen Ling immediately felt a little angry. These people were really the ones who did not respect her, the princess. She was only teaching them a lesson, but they actually complained to her father.

However, Yuwen Ling was not afraid at all.

In the past, there had been many such incidents. Her father had only said a few words to her, or when some things were really a little serious, he would lock her in his bedroom for a few days. There was no big punishment at all.

Yuwen Ling pursed her lips and said unwillingly,” Hmph, they only know how to complain!”

Yuwen Longyan snorted coldly,” Yes, you’ve done so many things. They can’t do anything to you, so they can only complain to me. What? Do you object?”

Yuwen Ling shook her head and said,” Father, whatever you say goes. I don’t dare to have any objections!” Seeing that the Emperor was going to continue on this topic, she was sure that she would be reprimanded again. She rolled her eyes and quickly changed the topic, directly telling him the purpose of her visit.

“Imperial Father, there are rumors in the palace that when the Great General escorted you back to the palace, he didn’t wear a mask at all. Then, everyone found out that the Great General’s disfigurement into an ugly monster was a rumor, right?”

Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Ling, who was asking the obvious, and asked with a faint smile,” Didn’t you stop the general just now? Are you still not sure?” This was telling Yuwen Ling that nothing could escape his eyes and ears.

Hearing his father’s words, Yuwen Ling was shocked but quickly calmed down.

After all, a person who grew up in the palace and had always been favored would have been killed long ago without any ability.

Yuwen Ling shook Longyan’s arm and said coyly,” Father, you are really bad. You clearly knew everything, but you still deliberately exposed Ling ‘Er.” Yuwen Longyan immediately burst into laughter.” Yes, yes, it’s my fault.”

“It was father’s fault!” Yuwen Ling said unwillingly.

“Alright then.” Yuwen Longyan smiled and asked,” Then what kind of compensation does Ling ‘er want from Father?”

Yuwen Ling immediately asked curiously,” Father, Ling ‘er want to know if the Great General used to be this handsome? Or were the rumors true? Was he an ugly man who had been disfigured in the past?”

Yuwen Longyan didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked faintly,” Oh, when did Ling ‘er become so interested in the general? If I remember correctly, three years ago, I said that I wanted to bestow a marriage to you and the Great General, but you refused no matter what. You even cursed that you were unwilling to marry an ugly monster. You even said that he was a jinx and would definitely jinx you to death.”

There was a sharp look in his smiling eyes as he stared at Yuwen Ling.

Back then, he was worried about Jiang Zhennan’s marriage, but none of the daughters of the aristocratic families and civil and military officials in the capital were willing to marry Jiang Zhennan. Therefore, he chose a princess from the palace to marry Jiang Zhennan.

However, three years ago, the only princess who was suitable to marry Jiang Zhennan was the ninth princess, Yuwen Ling.

However, Yuwen Ling heard him talking to Consort Liu De about this matter, so she immediately made a big fuss. She cried, made a fuss, and threatened to hang herself. She would die rather than marry an ugly monster.

At that time, Yuwen Longyan was so angry that he wanted to force her to marry him.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhennan entered the palace in time and expressed to the Emperor that he did not intend to marry anyone. Besides, forcing marriage would not bring happiness. Since the ninth princess was unwilling, then forget it.

Therefore, this matter of bestowing marriage was dropped!

Yuwen Ling looked into her father’s eyes, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. Of course, she remembered what had happened back then.

However, could she not be blamed for this?

At that time, everyone was talking about how ugly Jiang Zhennan was, how fierce he was, and how he was a jinx who brought misfortune to his wife.

How could she be willing to marry a Jiang Zhennan like that?

However, Yuwen Ling quickly calmed down after her panic. She said

coquettishly,” Father, do you have to bring this up? Back then, everyone had been talking about the Great General like that. I was still young at that time. When I heard that I was going to marry such a man, I was naturally afraid and panicked. So, Father, you can’t blame Ling ‘er for this!”

Yuwen Ling was indeed the princess who had been doted on by Yuwen Longyan for more than ten years. She could still maintain her rationality in the face of the Emperor’s questioning and even refute him so cleverly.

Yuwen Longyan nodded slightly and said, ‘Yes, Ling ‘er is right. Father can’t blame you. Back then, Minister Jiang’s ferocious reputation had spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital, scaring children to tears and women to madness. Of course, no daughter of a good family was willing to marry him. Not to mention the Ninth Princess whom Consort De and I have always doted on.”

“Father!” Yuwen Ling shouted excitedly.

Yuwen Longyan laughed and asked,” You saw the general today and saw that he wasn’t as ugly as the rumors said. So you’re not afraid anymore?

Yuwen Ling’s eyes immediately lit up, and her cheeks flushed red. She said with a little shyness,” Great General is handsome and elegant, and he’s not scary at all. Why would I be afraid?”

Yuwen Longyan looked at his daughter. Her eyes were filled with affection, and she was shy. She looked like a young girl who was in love. He frowned slightly, and his sharp eyes were filled with dark colors..
