Before Jiu Ranling could reach the entrance of the Rising Dragon Hall, the Fifth Prince, Jiu Ranjin, who had been waiting outside for news of Jiu Ranling, received her immediately.
"Ling-er, you're finally here. It's really unfortunate that I bumped into you sneaking out of the palace today. Why didn't you tell your brothers when you went out?”The moment Jiu Ranjin saw her, her heart that had been on tenterhooks all this while relaxed.
Jiu Ranjin was the younger brother of the Fourth Prince Jiu Ranyou. The two of them had a close relationship since they were young. Now that something had happened to Jiu Ranyou, he was naturally more anxious than anyone else.
Jiu Ranling walked side by side with him and asked,""Who started this?" She didn't believe that she didn't know that her father was going to bestow her with a marriage. Besides, it was her fourth brother who doted on her the most other than Brother Qing.
"It's Consort Mother." Jiu Ranjin lowered her head. She knew that this matter was not easy to resolve.
"I knew it. How could Imperial Father and Old Ancestor suppress the marriage without any warning? Moreover, it was easy to choose, but it had to be that useless crybaby Lan Yu.”Jiuranling rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"We only just found out. I went to Mengli Palace to ask Consort Mother, and only then did I understand that Consort Mother had asked Imperial Father for an edict, and also hoped to be closer by marriage.”
" Concubine Li…" Jiu Ran Ling murmured," Then I really can't show myself."”
After all, Consort Li was never someone to be trifled with in the harem.
"Ling-er, even if you don't plead with Imperial Father, you still have to persuade You. He had been kneeling for the entire afternoon. If this continued, even his body made of iron would not be able to take it. After all, he listens to you the most.”When Jiu Ranjin said the last three words, her eyes flickered.
Jiu Ranling naturally noticed the subtle change in his expression. She did not say anything, but sighed lightly. No one heard her. When Jiu Ranjin's gaze returned to Jiu Ranling's face, she saw that her face was full of smiles.
"Brothers, I'm sorry Ling-er is late.”Jiuran Ling came to the entrance of the Rising Dragon Hall and called out to the princes who were all worried.
"Ling-er!" When the princes saw her, they quickly surrounded her as if they had seen their savior.
"Royal Sister, please persuade Fourth Brother. If he kneels like this, he will definitely die.”A pair of innocent eyes on the cute doll's face stared straight at Jiu Ranling. The Eleventh Prince Jiu Ranchen tugged at Jiu Ranling's sleeve.
"Eleven, don't look at me so pitifully. Things haven't reached the point of despair yet. There will definitely be a turn for the better.”Jiu Ran Ling patted her brother's shoulder to comfort him.
"Sigh, Concubine Li is here too. Whether it's to persuade Fourth Brother to accept the marriage or to persuade him to get up, it's completely useless. Even if the old ancestor came, it would not be useful. Now, Father and the old ancestor were in the Rising Dragon Hall, but Father refused to see Fourth Brother.”Eighth Prince Jiu Ransheng waved his folding fan and explained the current situation in a few words. The pair of peach blossom eyes that looked at Jiu Ranyou were filled with worry.
Jiu Ran Ling's gaze shifted from the prince who had called her "Ling 'er" to Jiu Ran Sheng,""Even a playboy like you rushed over from a brothel. It seems that the situation is indeed serious.”
However, his father was still in the Rising Dragon Hall, refusing to see his fourth brother. It seemed that he was serious.
"Ling-er, how can you judge the severity of the situation like this?" Jiu Ransheng was speechless.”
Jiu Ranling ignored him and walked to the Fourth Prince Jiu Ranyou. She squatted down and stared at him,""Fourth Brother, you won't be able to take it like this. Get up quickly.”
Jiu Ranyou looked at her with a much gentler gaze, but the words he spat out were still very tough,""Ling-er, don't try to persuade me. If Imperial Father doesn't give up on this idea, I won't get up.”
His back was very straight, filled with an unyielding aura. Jiu Ranling sighed. She knew that it was impossible to persuade Jiu Ranyou, who had already made his decision. He had always been more determined than anyone else.
"Fourth brother is usually very filial and listens to Concubine Li's words. I don't know why this time, he would rather die than marry that Princess Lan Yu.”As everyone was silent, the sixth prince, Jiu Ranyan, interrupted timidly. Immediately, everyone looked at Jiu Ranyan, then at Jiu Ranling and Jiu Ranyou.
" What, what, did I say something wrong…" Jiu Ran Yan shrank back.
"You can't be taught." Ninth Prince Jiu Ranyu, who was beside Jiu Ransheng, snorted and shook his head.
" What?" Jiu Ran Ling smiled coldly." How can someone like Lan Yu be worthy of marrying Fourth Brother?!"?”
Before anyone could get used to the sudden change in her attitude, Jiu Ran Ling stood up and was about to rush into the Rising Dragon Hall.
"Princess." An old eunuch appeared and called out to her. Jiu Ranling recognized him. He was the eunuch serving her father, the chief of the palace.
"Eunuch Cai, could it be that you want to stop this princess from seeing Imperial Father and Ancestor?”Jiu Ran Ling smiled even more kindly.
"This servant wouldn't dare. It's just that the emperor asked this servant to wait for the princess and said that if the princess came, he would invite the princess directly into the palace to see him.”
"Father really understands me." Jiu Ran Ling stepped into the Rising Dragon Hall under everyone's expectant gaze.

"Father, ancestor!" The Emperor and Empress Dowager were frowning when a yellow figure flew over and plunged into the Emperor's arms.
The Emperor hugged her tightly, and a smile spread across his face.""You little girl, why did you only come now? You really can't bear to see your fourth brother suffer.”
Jiu Ranling pouted. The Emperor and Empress Dowager really didn't know that she had sneaked out of the palace.
And Miyi Building was not a place that ordinary people could enter casually. It was normal that they could not find her.
"Don't always mention that.”The Empress Dowager glanced at the Emperor from the corner of her eyes, but when she looked at Jiuran Ling, her face was filled with kindness.""Aijia's precious Ling 'er, quickly come and sit with aijia.”
Jiuran Lingyi went to the Empress Dowager's side and smiled sweetly.""Imperial Father, Old Ancestor, are you really going to let Fourth Brother marry that crybaby princess?”
"What crybaby princess, what nonsense!”The Emperor pulled a long face." After all, Lan Yu is the title of princess that I personally bestowed upon her.”
Jiu Ran Ling looked at the Emperor innocently.""I didn't say anything wrong. Other than crying and complaining, what else does that Lan Yu know?”
The Empress Dowager saw that the topic of conversation between the two was getting further and further away and quickly came out to smooth things over."Alright, alright. The most important thing now is how to appease You 'er.”
The Emperor snorted coldly and looked at Jiu Ranling.""Little girl, have your brothers told you everything?”
"The cause and effect of the matter have been explained clearly.”
"Then girl, tell this one your opinion on this matter.”The Emperor looked at his only precious daughter with a helpless look in his eyes." I want to see how you're going to convince me.”
"How can Lan Yu be worthy of Fourth Brother!" Jiuran Ling said these words with great power.
