When she first arrived at the Sixth Wangye's residence, Zhao Ning only brought one bag. After moving in, Murong Ke and the Empress rewarded her with many things and she left with two big boxes of things.
"Miss, no, congratulations, Your Royal Highness, you can finally reunite with your family." Zi Juan helped Zhao Ning put on the cloak. She was very happy that the master she served finally had a real identity.
Zhao Ning let out a breath and said to Zi Juan and Li Juan, "You two quickly go and pack your things. Follow me to the Foreign Guest Pavilion."
Zi Juan and Li Juan looked at each other, their faces revealing joy, "Can we continue to serve … the Princess?"
"Don't tell me you don't want to follow me back to Qi?" Zhao Ning looked at them suspiciously, "Or … you have relatives here, so you can't bear to leave?"
"No, no, we are willing to follow the Princess to Qi." Zi Juan hurriedly said, "We are just worried that the Princess will not want us."
Zhao Ning smiled, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly go and pack your things."
"Yes, Princess." Zi Juan and Li Juan smiled and said.
After the master and servant finished packing, a servant immediately came over to help carry their things out. Prince Shen had already left with his men, and Song Jiong would personally send Zhao Ning to the Foreign Guest Pavilion.
"Brother Song, do you know … when will the Qi Ambassador leave?" Zhao Ning asked Song Jiong who was standing beside the horse carriage.
"I am not sure about this, but they should be leaving in a few days." Song Jiong said.
Zhao Ning thought that she would not stay in the capital for long. After leaving this time, she would probably not come back.
"Brother Song, these days in the capital, I have received a lot of care from the Emperor and Empress. I was wondering if I can pay a visit to the Empress before I leave. I want to personally thank her." Zhao Ning asked softly.
Song Jiong frowned and said, "I cannot answer you. The Empress is not in the capital. If you want to pay a visit to her, you need the Emperor's permission."
Although there were too many rumors about the Empress losing favor in the capital, Song Jiong felt that it was all nonsense. If Mo Rongzhan did anything bad to the Empress, the Pavilion Master would not be in Nanyue right now. He would definitely not let Mo Rongzhan off.
"I understand." Zhao Ning smiled at Song Jiong, "I still have to thank Big Brother Song for making a trip to Qi. If not, I don't know when I would be able to see my father."
Song Jiong said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just following orders. Your Highness, this one will escort you to the foreign guest pavilion."
Zhao Ning said gratefully, "Thank you."
"Please get in the car." Song Jiong smiled and said. She didn't expect that after not seeing Zhao Ning for a short period of time, Zhao Ning had changed so much. Now, she really couldn't tell that Zhao Ning was the same person she was back in Hua Village. She had actually become dignified and magnanimous.
At that time, she was still a wild girl in Hua Village. Her eyes were filled with a fearless arrogance. She felt that saving the Emperor was a great favor. She didn't even put the Empress in her heart. She was deliberately treated coldly by the Pavilion Master. After returning to the capital city and learning the rules for a few days, she really became obedient.
He hoped that she would suffer in the Kingdom of Qi. Looking at Zhao Xin's expression, he knew that the princess of the Kingdom of Qi was definitely not simple.
When they arrived at the guest pavilion, Zhao Ning had just settled down when Zhao Xin appeared in front of her.
"What do you want now?" Zhao Ning didn't even look at Zhao Xin, treating her as if she didn't exist.
Zhao Xin really wanted to reprimand Zhao Ning, but she remembered that her identity was already set. In the future, when she returned to the Kingdom of Qi, she would be a princess. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "I came over to see if there's anything I can help with."
"Help?" Zhao Ning sneered and looked at her, "Do you want to help me pack my things?"
"You want me to help you pack your things? Do you think I'm a maid? "Zhao Xin said angrily.
Zhao Ning laughed, "How can you compare to my maid? My maid still has some use. What can you do?"
"Don't think that just because Uncle Wang recognized you as Father's daughter. We all know what kind of person Uncle Wang is. It's not the first time he's made a mistake." Zhao Xin sneered and said.
"I'm not sure." Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Xin expressionlessly, "You also know that he's Uncle Wang. How dare you talk about him like that behind his back?"
Zhao Xin sneered, "What, you want to please Uncle Wang? You can't be thinking that when you return to the Kingdom of Qi, he will be your backer? "
"I don't need a backer." Zhao Ning laughed, "Probably only arrogant people like you need a backer to protect you."
"I originally wanted to give you a few words of advice …" Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Ning coldly. She was just trying to convince herself that since Zhao Ning would definitely become a princess, she should put down her pride and rope her in. Otherwise, why would she come over. Who knew that this brat would not appreciate it. "You just wait. When you return to the palace, there will be people waiting for you."
Zhao Ning looked at her expressionlessly, "Are you done? If you are, then please leave. "
"You …" Zhao Xin was about to reprimand Zhao Ning for being rude.
A maid walked in from outside and bowed to Zhao Ning, "Your Highness, there's someone outside looking for you."
"Who?" Zhao Ning and Zhao Xin asked at the same time.
The maid was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhao Ning, "It's the Empress's sister Hong Ling. She wants to find Miss Zhao."
Zhao Xin immediately looked at Zhao Ning. The Empress had sent someone to find her?
"Quick, invite her in." Zhao Ning's face lit up. She still wanted to see the Empress. She didn't think that the Empress would send someone over.
"Currying favor with an Empress who has fallen out of favour. Is this what you mean by not needing a backer?" Zhao Xin asked sarcastically.
Zhao Ning frowned at her, "Is it because your days in the palace are especially difficult and that's why you need a backer to protect you?"
"A fisherwoman will always be a fisherwoman." Zhao Xin glared at Zhao Ning with an ugly expression before turning to leave.
"Even if it's a fisherwoman …" Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Xin's back and smiled, "She's living a better life in the palace than you."
Hong Ling smiled as she walked over and curtsied, "Miss Zhao, ah, that's not right. I should call you Princess now."
Zhao Ning had seen Hong Ling in Yong Shou Palace before and knew that she was the Empress's palace maid. She smiled and said, "Miss Hong Ling, you've come at the right time. I wanted to personally pay my respects to the Empress. I wonder how she's doing in Cheng De Manor?"
"The Empress is recuperating at the manor. She knew that the Qi Kingdom's envoy had arrived at the capital and wanted to congratulate you since you've regained your status." Hong Ling smiled as she said.
Zhao Ning heard her words and was slightly startled. She saw two or three palace maids walking over from behind Hong Ling. Each of them had many gifts in their hands, "This is …"
Hong Ling smiled, "This is a gift from the Empress."
"This …" Zhao Ning's heart was moved. She didn't think that the Empress would still think of her even after being sent to Cheng De Manor. "Many thanks to the Empress. Miss Hong Ling, I wish to personally make a trip to Cheng De Manor to bid farewell to the Empress. Could you please help me pass this message?"
"Alright, Princess. It's getting late. I still have to return to the manor. I will definitely pass your message." Hong Ling smiled as she said. She thought that this Princess was someone who remembered favors.
