Chapter 1102: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and twenty-four)

The hustle and bustle of the day made Qingli frown and try to reduce her presence.

Logically speaking, although she is the wife of the Duke, she is still young and not highly respected, so the funeral ceremony only needs her to make up the number of people and represent the Duke's Mansion.

After a few days of memorial services, she had become familiar with the process and felt a little relieved.

But when she looked at the princess, it seemed that something had happened.

She came to the conclusion from her observations over the past few days that the Ninth Princess might be pregnant.

In this case, the Ninth Princess would either marry or drink an abortion drug. When she asked Qiqi, she learned that the Ninth Princess had already consulted the Emperor, but the Emperor disagreed and also rebuked Zhao Yi.

When the Ninth Princess Zhao Yi asked to see the Emperor, the Emperor was reviewing memorials. When he heard the Ninth Princess's voice, he frowned slightly, but still motioned her to come in.

The Ninth Princess knelt in the hall and whispered, "Father, although I know it is inappropriate, I beg you to allow me to marry during the period of mourning for the Empress Dowager."

The emperor raised his head, his gaze as sharp as a knife as he looked directly into the Ninth Princess's eyes. He said coldly, "How can you arrange a wedding during a period of national mourning? Do you disregard the rules of our ancestors, or are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

The Ninth Princess's face turned pale instantly. She hadn't expected the Emperor to refute her so harshly. She felt aggrieved and unwilling, but she didn't dare to refute him. She could only grit her teeth and whisper, "I dare not, but I..."

"That's enough!" the emperor interrupted her, his tone clearly filled with displeasure. "If you don't understand the rules anymore, I'll send you to become a Taoist nun!"

The Ninth Princess was struck by lightning, humiliated and could only retreat in tears. She was filled with resentment. She had thought she had escaped the fate of marrying into a foreign alliance, but now she was being reprimanded by her father. She was filled with fear and confusion about the future.

Qingli felt that the Ninth Princess was an unstable factor and tried to stay away from her.

But the eleventh princess is different.

At the Queen Mother's funeral, everyone was very well behaved, except for the extremely tense atmosphere between the Ninth Princess and the Eleventh Princess.

The Eleventh Princess had always been critical of the Ninth Princess's marriage, and now she openly taunted her, "Ninth Sister, you're so anxious to get married, don't you realize the time is here? The Queen Mother's body is still warm, yet you're only thinking about your own marriage. You're truly heartless!"

The Ninth Princess was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, she instantly erupted in anger. Unable to contain herself any longer, she cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I was getting married?" "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Everyone knows what happened when you met with the Emperor last night? Your eyes were red from crying, I'm sure he scolded you, didn't he?"

"You only know how to make sarcastic remarks here, but you yourself know nothing!"

The Eleventh Princess was not to be outdone and cursed back, "Why shouldn't I understand? You're just itching to leave the palace as soon as possible so you can find refuge with your ideal husband!"

The two of them argued back and forth, and the noise became louder and louder. The palace maids and eunuchs around them did not dare to step forward to dissuade them, and could only stand by and worry.

The concubines who dared to step forward to stop it are now in another palace, not here.

When Qingli heard the noise, she couldn't help but frown, thinking that these two princesses really didn't know the seriousness of the matter. They actually made such a fuss at the Queen Mother's funeral. If this got out, wouldn't it be a joke?

Or was it someone who did this on purpose? Qingli slowly retreated, only asking the palace attendant beside her to quickly inform the Queen and Consort Shu, while she herself stayed away.

At this moment, the ninth princess and the eleventh princess quarreled so fiercely that they started fighting.

The fifteenth princess was frightened by this sudden change. She cried incessantly and struggled to get off her wet nurse.

It happened that the two princesses started fighting, and someone hit the wet nurse.

The wet nurse was so frightened that she accidentally lost her grip on the child, and the fifteenth princess slipped from her arms and fell straight to the ground.

The pool of blood on the ground frightened everyone, and there were constant cries of panic.
