Chapter 1081: Ah Xuan Is Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Qianqing Palace, Princess Hui An saw Emperor Jing Xuan.
Princess Jingning was also there.
After all, the two of them had bumped into each other halfway, so Princess Jing Ning came over to join in the fun. “Hui An greets Father.”
Princess Hui An bowed respectfully.
Emperor Jing Xuan sat behind the desk and looked at her with a dark expression.
Princess Hui An suddenly looked up and met her father’s sharp gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Did Su MO escort you back?”
“Yes.”
“Just him?”
“And the Su family’s army.”
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Princess Hui An deeply. “I heard from the minister of Honglu Temple and your second brother that you left the marriage alliance team and entered the capital of the Southern Wilderness in advance?”
Princess Hui An’s eyes flashed as she said in her usual tone, “I went to look for my sidekick.”
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “Who’s your sidekick?”
Princess Hui An said, “Qin Su.”
It was true that she had gone to look for her sidekick, but she had not fled the marriage team halfway. She had fled in the capital.
Emperor Jing Xuan questioned, “Who brought you there? Your second brother said that he encountered a powerful masked expert. Who is he?”
Princess Jingning looked at Emperor Jing Xuan in surprise and quickly lowered her eyes to continue.
Princess Hui An said seriously, “It’s a secret guard arranged by Imperial Grandmother. I’ve stayed with Imperial Grandmother in the nunnery for so long. When I heard that I was going to marry far away in the southern border, Imperial Grandmother was worried that I would be bullied in the southern border.”
Emperor Jing Xuan asked suspiciously, “Didn’t your third brother give you the guard?”
Princess Jingning paused.
Princess Hui An mustered her courage and met Emperor Jing Xuan’s scrutiny. “It’s not Third Brother, it’s Grandmother! If Father doesn’t believe me, you can send someone to the nunnery to ask Grandmother if there’s such a thing.”
She had already gone to the nunnery to inform her grandmother. She was not afraid that her grandmother would not back her up.
Emperor Jing Xuan asked about the reason why the marriage was canceled.
Princess Hui An’s words were not much different from those of the envoys— the person who was to marry Princess Hui An was Zong Zhengming’s third prince. After Zong Zhengming was executed, his children were all demoted to commoner status.
Zongzheng Wei did not have any children and did not have a suitable marriage partner for the marriage alliance.
Emperor Jing Xuan also asked about the Wei family and if Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing.
Princess Hui An pretended to be stupid.
Emperor Jing Xuan thought that this daughter was innocent and that it was not difficult to hide things from her, so he had no intention of continuing to question her.
After coming out of Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom, Princess Hui An hung her head dejectedly.
“What happened?”
Princess Jingning asked calmly, “Aren’t you happy enough after going out to play for a few months?”
Princess Hui An said bitterly, “Father asked me so many questions just now, but he didn’t care how I was doing, if I was sick, or if I ate well. He didn’t ask if the journey was hard.”
Princess Jingning was silent.
After a while, she said in a low voice, “Father is not the same father as before.
He has changed.”
“It’s still a little uncomfortable, ” Princess Hui An whispered. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Emperor Jing Xuan questioned, “Who brought you there? Your second brother said that he encountered a powerful masked expert. Who is he?”
Princess Hui An said, “I’ll go pay my respects to Mother.”
Princess Jingning looked at her. “You’ve learned your etiquette after going out for a while. There’s no need. Mother has rested. Go back to Qi Xiang Palace.”
“Send me back,” Princess Hui An said.
