After suffering for two days, Ye Rou's appetite suddenly returned to normal. However, she became very sleepy. When they were in the carriage, she spent half the time leaning on Mo Rongzhan to sleep. If it weren't for her rosy complexion and the fact that she was in good spirits every time she woke up, Mo Rongzhan would have been worried again.
"I'll stay here for the night. I'll be back in the city by noon tomorrow." Mo Rongzhan got out of the car with Ye Zhen in his arms. They were almost at the capital, but it was already dark at this time. Entering the city at night would certainly disturb others. He didn't want the empress dowager to know that he was back.
Ye Zhen yawned in his arms and nodded lazily. She didn't want to think about anything now. Anyway, he would arrange everything. She just needed to stay by his side.
Zhao Ning came down from the carriage and raised her eyes to see the Emperor and Empress's deep emotions. A hint of envy flashed through her eyes but when Murong Ke turned his head, she had already collected all her emotions and only smiled at Murong Ke.
Murong Ke already knew Zhao Ning's identity. His opinion was the same as Mo Rongzhan's, which was to not tell her Zhao Ning's identity for the time being. They would wait until they were sure that Zhao Yong would acknowledge her as his daughter before telling her. This would also be beneficial to Zhao Ning.
"Sixth Wangye, did something happen in the capital?" Although Zhao Ning lived in Hua Village and had never seen the world before, she had a natural sense of sensitivity. Most probably she was Zhao Yong's daughter, and inherited Zhao Yong's good points.
"Even if something happened, it's not something you should ask." Murong Ke said lightly.
Zhao Ning whispered, "Sixth Wangye, have you found my father yet?"
"I sent Song Jiong to the State of Qi, but there is still no news. I will send people to continue searching. Once there is news, I will inform you immediately." Murong Ke said.
"Thank you, Sixth Prince." Other than relying on Murong Ke to help her find her biological father, Zhao Ning had no one else to rely on. Even if she suspected that the person who had just returned from the State of Qi had no intention of helping her, she could not raise her doubts.
Murong Ke did not look at her again and walked into the inn.
Zhao Ning lowered her head and followed in. She looked up at Ye Zhen, who was carried into the room by Mo Rongzhan. She thought that if she could change the Empress's opinion of her, maybe everything would be different.
Wasn't the maid of the Empress very prestigious? Even the guards were especially polite to them.
However, she didn't seem to know what the Empress liked.
"Miss Zhao, your room is over there." Lin Zhiran came in with a suitcase and saw Zhao Ning in a daze. She thought that she didn't know which room to rest in and pointed her in the right direction.
"Little Ran." Zhao Ning turned her head and saw that it was Lin Zhiran. She instantly smiled. This was the only maid that was willing to talk to her. If she wanted to curry favor with the Empress, perhaps she could get more information from Lin Zhiran.
Lin Zhiran sympathized with Zhao Ning who lost her father at a young age. She also lost her father who loved her very much, so she knew the pain of loneliness and longing. What's more, Zhao Ning had never seen her father. She must feel even worse. Therefore, she usually talked to Zhao Ning more because no one else paid attention to her.
"Hurry back to rest. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Lin Zhiran said.
Zhao Ning pulled Lin Zhiran to a corner. "Little Ran, why do I see the Emperor holding the Empress recently? Is there something wrong with the Empress's body?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, you will certainly not have a good ending." Lin Zhiran glared at her and warned her in a low voice.
"I'm just guessing. In fact, I'm also concerned about the Empress." Zhao Ning whispered, "You know that I also asked the Emperor to find my father for me. If I can please the Empress, maybe … Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Zhiran said helplessly, "I know what you're thinking. However, the Empress usually doesn't like people getting close to her. The room is always taken care of by Hong Ying jie and Jianjia jie. If you want to go to her side and please her, it won't be that easy."
Zhao Ning said, "I also know that the Empress isn't easy to get close to. Ai, I don't want to do anything. I just want to get familiar with her face."
"I also don't often stay by the Empress's side. I really don't know what the Empress likes. How about, you think of a way to ask Hong Ying jie jie for advice." Even though Lin Zhiran sympathized with Zhao Ning, it didn't mean that she would tell anything about the Empress to an outsider.
"Then … Then alright." Zhao Ning didn't get any useful information out of her. Her heart felt depressed. If she could get close to the Empress' maids, she wouldn't have asked Lin Zhiran, a maid who could only help out in the kitchen.
Lin Zhiran smiled, "Miss Zhao, then hurry back to your room and rest. I still have things to do."
"Okay." Zhao Ning forced a smile and nodded.
Looking at Lin Zhiran's departing figure, she angrily stomped her feet. It was rare for her to be willing to put down her pride to please others. She didn't think that it would be so difficult.
Lin Zhiran took the box and handed it to Jianjia. Jianjia was already waiting for her at the door, "Little Ran, is there anything wrong? Why did you take so long?"
"Nothing. I just met Miss Zhao downstairs. She asked me about the Empress." Lin Zhiran said in a low voice.
Jianjia smiled, pretending not to care and asked, "She also asked about the Empress's matters?"
Lin Zhiran said, "Miss Zhao asked about the Empress's health. I told her that it was nothing. She also wanted to know what the Empress likes. I told her to ask you and Hong Ying jie about it. I'm just a kitchen cook, how could I know so much."
"What a mischievous ghost!" Jianjia smiled and pinched her face, "The Empress won't eat noodles tonight. Tomorrow morning, make a few fish dumplings."
"Okay." Lin Zhiran smiled and agreed.
Jianjia took the box into the room, and the smile on her face faded. When she was in the corridor, she saw Zhao Ning take Lin Zhiran's hand and walk to the corner to talk. She wanted to scold her, but she still wanted to know what the fisherwoman would say.
Lin Zhiran did not let her down, but Zhao Ning's intention made people have some ideas.
"Empress." Jianjia looked at Ye Zhen, who came out from behind the screen, and went to hold her hand.
"Did Zhao Ning look for Little Ran again?" Ye Zhen asked faintly. Since Lin Zhiran brought them to Mo Rongzhan, she decided to keep Lin Zhiran by her side. She also told Hong Ying to teach her the rules, so as not to offend people in the palace. However, she heard that Zhao Ning often looked for her. She hoped that Little Ran did not do anything wrong.
"The fisherwoman is inquiring about the Empress. Little Ran's mouth is tight. Although she sympathizes with Zhao Ning, she did not say a word that should not be said."
It can be seen that the teachings of Jianjia and Hong Ying were still useful.
