Zhao Ning was brought to see the Empress. When she came to Yong Shou Palace, she heard that the Empress was meeting with her older brother. Zhao Ning said that she would wait outside. Now that she had a favor to ask, she didn't dare to put on airs. She still remembered that she had thought herself infallible because she was the Emperor's savior. This Empress didn't even put her in her eyes, not to mention that her status as a princess was not confirmed. If she put on airs as a princess, she definitely wouldn't be able to count on the Empress to help her!
"Fu gonggong, I'll wait here. You can go first!" Zhao Ning said to Fu gonggong.
"Then Miss Zhao will wait here first!" Fu gonggong said with a smile. He lifted his head to look at Hong Ying, "I still have to go to the front to serve the Emperor!"
Zhao Ning smiled as she watched him leave. She turned back to see Hong Ying scrutinizing her gaze. She smiled even more, "Miss Hong Ying, what's wrong?"
Hong Ying shook her head lightly. She had already heard that Zhao Ning might be a princess of the State of Qi. It was really unexpected. But she didn't regret her attitude towards Zhao Ning. Even if she had known that she was a princess, she felt that it wouldn't have changed much!
"The Empress is still busy. Miss Zhao, please wait a while more!" Hong Ying said lightly. She would be polite to Zhao Ning only because she had saved the Empress!
Zhao Ning didn't mind waiting at all!
There was a reason why Hong Ying didn't go in to pass on the message. She knew that the Empress hadn't seen Young Master Lu for a long time and should have a lot to say. She wanted to wait a while before going in to report!
After about half an hour, Hong Ying went in to pass on the message to Hong Ling that Zhao Ning was outside asking to see her!
Hong Ling furrowed her brows and looked inside, "I just sent in two bowls of yogurt. The Empress should still have things to say to Young Master Lu. Wait a while more!"
"Then I'll have the one outside wait in the side hall!" Hong Ying said and went out to invite Zhao Ning to sit in the side hall for a while. She even personally served her fruits and tea!
As she waited, a man's voice came from outside. Before Zhao Ning could sit down, she saw a young man wearing embroidered clothes walk in. He directly sat down on the seat that was originally given to her, drinking her tea and eating her fruits!
Mo Rongyi's mouth and tongue were parched from the sun outside. He only managed to catch his breath after eating a plate of watermelon. He looked at the dumbfounded Hong Ying and said, "Hurry up and report to Sister-in-law Empress that I'm looking for Lu Xiangzhi!"
Hong Ying knew this little prince, so she could only smile and agree.
Zhao Ning glared at Mo Rongyi, cursing him in her heart for eating her watermelon. She was also very thirsty and wanted to eat something cool.
"Why are you still here? You can leave. I don't need anyone to wait on me here." Mo Rongyi thought that Zhao Ning was a new palace maid from Yongshou Palace.
What a bastard! Zhao Ning glared at him, "You're drinking my tea and eating my watermelon. You still want me to serve you in your dreams!"
"…" Mo Rongyi's heart was filled with a huge question mark. Was he being scolded by a palace maid? Did the new palace maid not recognize him, or did she eat a leopard's guts? He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ning carefully, only to discover that this palace maid was very beautiful. At least, she was much more beautiful than the ones in his palace. Especially her eyes, when she stared at people, they were as bright as stars. "This is the tea and watermelon that you brought over for benwang to eat. You haven't learned the rules yet. If aunt sees this, even thirty strokes of the stick will be considered light!"
Hit your head!
Zhao Ning shouted angrily, "So what if aunt sees this? You're the one who needs to learn the rules. How can you steal other people's things and eat them!"
"Your palace maid is quite interesting." Mo Rongyi was in a good mood and was not angry. He only felt that if this palace maid had not met him with a good temper, she would have been beaten to death. He wondered how there could be such a wild palace maid in the palace of the empress's sister-in-law.
"Which eye of yours saw me as a palace maid? You are a palace maid, your whole family …" Zhao Ning hurriedly shut her mouth. She suddenly remembered that this guy had just called himself benwang.
Mo Rongyi sneered, "Say it, why don't you go on? You are not a palace maid, what are you doing here? Are you a palace maid? Then you are even more presumptuous. You dare to teach benwang a lesson in the empress's palace? Do you have a death wish?"
What the hell is a palace maid? Zhao Ning did not understand Mo Rongyi's words. She thought that if they were not in the palace, if he was not a prince, she would have beaten him for the cold watermelon.
"What are you quarreling about?" Ye Zhen appeared at the door of the side hall, holding Hong Ling's hand. When she saw Mo Rongyi quarreling with Zhao Ning, she found it both ridiculous and funny. How did these two people quarrel?
Zhao Ning was originally quite arrogant, but when she saw Ye Zhen appear, she immediately wilted. She remembered that she was still a fisherwoman with an uncertain identity. Even if she wanted to put on the airs of a princess, she would have to wait for the people of Qi to come.
Mo Rongyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this beauty is too unruly. I will teach her a lesson for you."
Zhao Ning glared at him fiercely.
"Who told you that Miss Zhao is a beauty?" Ye Zhen asked angrily. "You have to apologize to Miss Zhao. She is the princess of Qi."
"…" Mo Rongyi's face changed, and he looked at Zhao Ning incredulously.
Zhao Ning snorted coldly. "Did you hear that? I am not a palace maid, nor a beauty. I am not here to serve you!"
Mo Rongyi looked at the watermelon skin on the table. It turned out that these fruits and tea were prepared for her. He laughed a few times. "It's just a few pieces of watermelon. I will compensate you."
"Then spit it out now!" Zhao Ning shouted.
"…" Mo Rongyi's eyes widened. Was this woman serious or was she joking with him?
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you are a magnanimous person. Don't argue with the little prince. He was blind for a moment. Let him apologize to you."
Mo Rongyi whispered an apology.
"I won't argue with him." Zhao Ning snorted.
"Yi, are you looking for me or my eldest brother?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Mo Rongyi remembered his business and looked at Lu Xiangzhi. "Ziheng, I have an idea. I was just about to talk to you about it."
Lu Xiangzhi smiled. "I also thought of it. Let's go out of the palace first."
"Good!" Mo Rongyi said goodbye to Ye Zhen. After bowing, he couldn't help but look back at Zhao Ning and said with a smile, "Miss Zhao, this prince will send you a cart of watermelons later."
Zhao Ning spat in her heart. She didn't care about his watermelons.
Ye Zhen shook her head and chuckled. "Miss Zhao, don't argue with him. I've kept you waiting."
"Your Highness is too serious. In fact, I didn't wait long. I … I have something to ask you for help." Zhao Ning whispered.
"Let's sit down and talk." Ye Zhen knew her purpose and smiled.
