The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 265: Jun Ning Is Stunned

Emperor Yongning turned a deaf ear, looking at the little girl in his arms, and said, "Yi Yi, it’s been so long, are you still mad at your father, the Emperor?"

Jun Ning said nothing. She struggled out of Emperor Yongning’s embrace, tidying her hair that became messy from a fight, and prepared to return to Weiyang Palace.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongning hurriedly chased after her, "Yi Yi, don’t go."

Jun Ning ignored him and continued walking forward.

Emperor Yongning hadn’t seen his beloved daughter for so long; how could he just let her go like that? He hastily caught up, "...Yi Yi, don’t leave, stop, listen to what your father has to say."

"Your birthday is coming up, and your father has prepared a banquet for you in Delin Palace. You must come." Emperor Yongning spoke quickly, fearing Jun Ning would grow impatient and cover her ears. "I promise you, every year I’ll throw a grand celebration for your birthday."

"Not listening, not listening..." As Emperor Yongning anticipated, in her frustration, Jun Ning covered her ears, unwilling to listen, and quickened her pace.

Emperor Yongning was not one to give up; he quickened his steps to continue pursuing Jun Ning.

Though Jun Ning covered her ears, it was merely a gesture; she could still hear the sounds.

She heard the footfalls of Emperor Yongning behind her growing clearer. She lifted her skirt and began to run, making it impossible for Emperor Yongning to catch up. After all, he was the Emperor, and with so many eyes watching, he couldn’t just run around heedlessly.

The little girl could really run, as if her feet were greased.

Finally, unable to catch up, Emperor Yongning stopped. He stood breathlessly in place, watching as Jun Ning’s figure grew further away, eventually disappearing behind a small door of Weiyang Palace.

He wondered, what on earth should he do for Yi Yi and Qiong Hua to forgive him?

He truly realized his mistakes!

And so much time had passed, hadn’t he suffered enough punishment?

Why wouldn’t they forgive him?

Looking around, in all the nations, which Emperor was like him?

Being an Emperor to this extent? Almost like a grandson, it was unbearably frustrating!

Xiao Lizi, having already guessed Emperor Yongning’s thoughts: Your Majesty, you don’t have to feel so frustrated; you can rise up. As long as you issue an Imperial Decree right away, not only will the door of Weiyang Palace open, but both Imperial Concubine Hua and the Princess will obediently do as you wish.

If Emperor Yongning knew what Xiao Lizi was thinking, he would surely reply with, "...What do you know?"

...

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Jun Ning ate, slept, and found ways to entertain herself. When she was utterly bored, she began pondering about building her own forces.

She could not go on like this; she needed to have a force of her own by her side.

With this thought, Jun Ning asked someone to find a goose feather to use as a pen. She also found ink and paper, preparing to write.

Nanny Zhang helped with grinding ink on the side.

Jun Ning used the goose feather to dip into the ink and wrote page after page.

Nanny Zhang noticed how ugly her writing was, crooked as if it were ghostly scribbles. Without a careful look, it was impossible to discern what she was writing.

Nanny Zhang thought perhaps Jun Ning wanted to learn writing, and was deliberately struggling here. So she didn’t think much of it.

Little did she know, what Jun Ning was writing were all the skills and steps of assassin training.

Although she had properly graduated from university in her past life, she had been undergoing training since she was eight. She had survived countless life-and-death trials, finally passing the assassin’s test and becoming a qualified assassin.

The proper student identity was merely her disguise.

A disguised identity allowed her to better infiltrate crowds and complete tasks.

Thinking back, life was truly difficult back then! She had to study hard to prevent expulsion due to poor grades while taking on various tasks given by the organization.

Not only was her life constantly at risk, but she also had no private time whatsoever, never enjoying any of the beauty of the world.

She lived like a machine, fulfilling tasks without emotion.

To the extent that now, living with a new identity, she indulged in all sorts of play, unwilling to go to school, desperate to make up for all the pleasures missed in her previous life.

But—

Those experiences weren’t entirely without value; they made her stronger and more confident. They also made her cherish the hard-won freedom and happiness of this lifetime even more.

Thinking of this, Jun Ning finished writing all the training methods. A few thin sheets of paper represented her countless life-and-death experiences.

Jun Ning put them away, planning to leave the palace tomorrow, first to visit Mrs. Qi and her son, and then to make a trip to the Black Market to buy a place to use as a training ground.

For the past half year, although she hadn’t stepped out of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Yongning’s rewards had been uninterrupted, and she remained wealthy.

With money, one should engage in proper business.

For instance, establishing a career.

"Princess, what are you thinking?"

Nanny Zhang watched Jun Ning hold her chin with her small hand, remaining still for a long time, and was very curious about what was on Jun Ning’s mind, so she asked.

Jun Ning smiled and asked, "Nanny, how is your son’s preparation for the autumn examination? I heard you say he’s taken it many times; his success depends on this attempt."

Nanny Zhang smiled, "Thanks to the Princess’s gracious permission, I visited him a few days ago. He said he would definitely place among the top three this year."

"That’s good!" Jun Ning said. "Tell him to keep it up, and if he does succeed, I’ll give him a big red envelope."

"A big red envelope?" Nanny Zhang did not quite understand.

The next morning, Jun Ning left the palace through the small door in the back of Weiyang Palace.

Although someone had taken her out-of-palace jade token, she had many ways to leave the palace. For example, she would hide in the ox cart transporting vegetables to the palace. Being small and knowing how to hide, no one noticed her.

After leaving the palace, she headed straight for the National Guardian General Mansion.

Upon entering, she ran into Mrs. Qi, who was just about to leave.

Mrs. Qi saw Jun Ning arriving and smiled warmly and excitedly, "Yi Yi, you’re here! Quickly, come in with mother to see Xiao Er; Xiao Er can call people now..."

"Mother... you..." Jun Ning pointed to Mrs. Qi, who had gained a lot of weight, especially her prominently protruding belly... "What’s going on here?"

Jun Ning was completely taken aback.

She... she... she... had only not left for half a year, and such a big event occurred outside?

Why was mother’s belly big again?

When had she become pregnant? Why didn’t she know? Why didn’t anyone in the palace tell her?

Moreover, from her looks, the belly was already quite large, at least seven or eight months along, nearing birth!

Jun Ning’s head was full of question marks: ?????
