Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately realized something and said, “How could that be? You are the one I love the most.”
Mu Yunge immediately laughed and said, “By the way, Father, who was that person just now? He looked so cunning.”
Hearing this, the Emperor couldn’t help but chuckle, “That’s Prime Minister Qin. You must never say that again…”
“Alright, I know. But I could tell he didn’t look like a good person!” Mu Yunge said.
After sitting in the imperial study for a while, the Emperor, seeing her carefree demeanor, couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Jiu’er, will you blame me for what happened to your Eldest Brother?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge looked at him strangely: “Is Father talking about the matter of the First Prince Brother being deposed as crown prince?”
Seeing her puzzled expression, the Emperor nodded, his gaze fixed on her.
Seeing this, Mu Yunge said with a nonchalant expression, “Why should I blame Father? You are the emperor, and it is, of course, your decision to decide who becomes the crown prince. Besides, the First Prince Brother was deposed because he did something wrong. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. What’s so strange about that?”
Hearing her words, the Emperor burst into laughter after a moment.
“Hahaha, Xiao Jiu’er is right! Those who do wrong should be punished. Your Eldest Brother has failed in his duties, causing countless people in the Northwest to freeze to death. If I don’t punish him, I can’t silence the public’s criticism.”
“Ah!? That’s so serious! That’s too lenient on First Prince Brother! You should make him go to Xiangguo Temple to chant sutras and pray for the dead!” Mu Yunge said indignantly.
The Emperor smiled again, then nodded and said, “You’re right! He must also chant sutras and pray for the deceased!”
After speaking, the Emperor said, “Go back and tell your mother that I will have lunch at Weiyang Palace.”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately clapped her hands happily and said, “Great! Father hasn’t spent time with Mother and me in so long. I’ll go back and tell Mother right away.”
Then, Mu Yunge waved to the Emperor, saying, “Father, I’ll go back now. Don’t overwork yourself. State affairs are important, but your health is even more important!”
The Emperor nodded with satisfaction. It was worth it for him to have doted on his ninth daughter since she was little; his daughter was the most considerate!
…
Both Eunuch Xiao Fuzi and Yan Fei were worried that Mu Yunge’s entry would anger the Emperor, but to their surprise, the Emperor’s hearty laughter frequently echoed from the Imperial Study.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Eunuch Xiao Fuzi whispered to Yan Fei, “The Ninth Princess is indeed amazing. The Emperor hasn’t smiled so happily in more than half a year.”
Yan Fei nodded, feeling a sense of relief himself.
He had initially worried that she would rush over and confront the Emperor, but now it seemed he had been overthinking it.
At that moment, Mu Yunge reappeared before them.
“Xiao Xi, let’s go back. Father is having lunch at Weiyang Palace. Let’s hurry back and inform Mother.” Mu Yunge said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yan Fei immediately nodded, while Eunuch Xiao Fuzi was startled.
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Xiao Fuzi, Mu Yunge left the Imperial Study with Yan Fei.
Meanwhile, news of the Emperor’s lunch at Weiyang Palace spread throughout the inner palace.
Some were surprised, while others were disappointed and regretful.
Everyone thought that the Emperor would completely neglect the Empress this time, but unexpectedly, a visit to the Imperial Study by the Ninth Princess changed his attitude entirely.
The Emperor’s heart is indeed unfathomable.
However, this also shows that to completely bring down the Empress, the Ninth Princess must first fall out of favor!
