The Emperor glanced at the Ninth Princess and asked, "What's there to see? If you want to watch, won't you see it at the palace banquet during the festival?"
The Ninth Princess tugged at his arm, shaking it a few times, and said coquettishly, "I'm just curious. I don't know what this Qin Family's daughter is like, enough for Marquis Gu to cherish her. Besides, Seventh Sister is going, so why can't I go too?"
The Emperor couldn't resist her pestering, and finally nodded in agreement.
"You can go, but don't cause trouble. Your Crown Prince brother's health has taken a turn again recently, and your mother is displeased. Don't make her worry."
The Ninth Princess sighed.
"The Crown Prince brother's poor health isn't a recent issue. What's bothering Mother is, after all, the Empress Dowager..."
The Emperor shot her a glance, making the Ninth Princess stop speaking.
