Zhao Ning had just turned around and walked a few steps when she heard Zhao Xin calling her from behind.
"Zhao Ning, stop right there!" Zhao Xin had already discovered that Zhao Ning was here. When she saw that Zhao Ning was about to turn and run away, she immediately shouted and walked towards him. "Why are you running when you see me? Do you think I'll eat you up?"
"Who is that person?" Mo Rongyi lowered his head and asked.
Zhao Ning said expressionlessly, "The Fourth Princess of Qi."
"Oh." Mo Rongyi nodded. "Isn't she your sister? Why does she look like a shrew? "
Zhao Xin, who was walking over, heard Mo Rongyi's words. She had just been startled and had a stomach full of anger. She pointed at his back and scolded, "Who are you calling a shrew?"
Mo Rongyi turned around and smiled as he bowed. "Benwang didn't say anyone. Princess of Qi, please don't take it personally."
Zhao Xin saw Mo Rongyi's handsome face and was slightly stunned. This person seemed … seemed to be the young man who had just saved her. She then noticed that this young man was dressed luxuriously and had a noble air about him. Could he be a prince of Jin? How come she had never seen him before? "It's you! So you're a prince? "
"Benwang is a prince." Mo Rongyi didn't see that Zhao Xin was the girl he had just saved and only smiled faintly.
Zhao Ning frowned. "You've seen her before?"
Mo Rongyi shook his head. "Benwang hasn't seen her before."
Zhao Xin was speechless. Could it be that her looks were so easily forgotten?
"What exactly do you want? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. "Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Xin impatiently. He hated the way she looked at Mo Rongyi.
"I should be the one asking you this. Why did you run away when you saw me? Do you think I'll eat you up?" In front of others, Zhao Xin's voice was gentle. She didn't want others to know that she was bullying Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning smiled faintly. "I didn't see you just now. There are so many people coming and going on the streets. It's not like you can be recognized at a glance. I just happened to be going there to buy something."
"Really?" Zhao Xin looked at Mo Rongyi with a smile. She wanted to display the demeanor and dignity of a princess in front of him. She smiled at Zhao Ning and said, "I thought you were scared by what I said last time. Sister, please don't take it to heart. I was just making wild guesses. It might not be true."
Did Zhao Xin take the wrong medicine today? Zhao Ning frowned at her, "Is that so? I thought you were just making wild guesses every day and that not many of your words were true. "
Zhao Xin almost couldn't control the anger in her heart and wanted to scold Zhao Ning again. She glanced at Mo Rongyi and decided to ignore Zhao Ning's sarcasm, "Thank you for saving me just now. So you are a prince of the Jin Kingdom. I have been disrespectful."
Mo Rongyi could already tell that Zhao Ning did not like this Fourth Princess of the Qi Kingdom. With a distant and polite smile, he said to Zhao Xin, "It was just a small matter. Princess, you don't have to take it to heart."
"You seem to be quite familiar with my sister." Zhao Xin said jealously, "I almost thought that the two of you had some unspeakable secret."
"How is Miss Zhao the same as the princess?" Mo Rongyi chuckled, "Miss Zhao is sister-in-law Empress's esteemed guest. Isn't it normal for benwang to be familiar with her? Princess must have done some unspeakable things on normal days. That's why everyone you see looks unspeakable. "
Zhao Xin could tell that Mo Rongyi's words were mocking her. Her face couldn't help but sink, "If you didn't do anything unspeakable, why did you turn and leave when you saw this princess?"
"There are people coming and going here. Benwang and Miss Zhao are standing here and talking openly. We can go wherever we want. It has nothing to do with who we see." Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "Your highness, you are meddling too much."
Zhao Xin stomped her feet. She was angry that Mo Rongyi had just saved her, but now he was only talking to Zhao Ning. She thought that Mo Rongyi liked Zhao Ning, so she said angrily, "You will regret this."
Zhao Ning didn't expect that Mo Rongzhan would speak up for her. Moreover, he even made Zhao Xin speechless. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up. She looked up at Zhao Xin, who was so angry that her face turned green and white.
Don't think that she didn't see it. Zhao Xin's gaze when she looked at Mo Rongyi was practically glowing.
She turned her head and looked at Mo Rongyi. Putting aside their previous two unpleasantness, Mo Rongyi did look like a handsome and noble little prince. There should be a lot of girls in the capital who liked him.
Just as she was in a daze, Zhao Xin had already stomped her feet and left.
"What are you looking at?" Mo Rongyi suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
Zhao Ning came back to her senses. Eh? "Where's Zhao Xin?"
"She left in anger." Mo Rongyi said with a smile.
"You just scolded the princess of the State of Qi. Be careful that she doesn't settle the score with you." Zhao Ning curled her lips and said. She was surprised that Zhao Xin left in anger so easily. Wasn't she supposed to be more courageous the more she fought?
Mo Rongyi said with a smile, "When did I scold her? I was just trying to reason with her. Since she couldn't reason with me, she naturally left. "
Zhao Ning glanced at him. She really didn't hear that Mo Rongyi was trying to reason with her. "You … Saved her?"
"It was just a small effort. This prince didn't even see her face clearly." Mo Rongyi said. "You … You don't get along with her?"
"It's because she doesn't like me." Zhao Ning said in a low voice. Whenever she thought about the Marquis of Anning that Zhao Xin mentioned, she would feel a wave of irritation.
Mo Rongyi could tell that she didn't really want to talk to him. Was she still blaming him for buying her jade pendant last time? Or was she blaming him for accidentally dropping the jade pendant?
"I was wrong last time. I'll make it up to you." Mo Rongyi said sincerely. "This is what I saw in Nanyue. It's very similar to the one you saw last time. Take it as my compensation to you."
Zhao Ning looked at him in astonishment. She then looked at the jade pendant in his hand. This jade pendant was even better than the one she saw before. The jade was sparkling and translucent, and even the workmanship was exquisite. She became suspicious. "You'll compensate me?"
Mo Rongyi said with a smile. "My royal brother asked me to send you off. When the time comes, we will meet again. I don't want to quarrel with you every time we meet."
"You'll send us off?" Zhao Ning was stunned again.
"This is the etiquette between the two countries. Moreover, you saved the Empress before. The Empress will definitely hope that you can safely return to Qi."
Zhao Ning took the jade pendant from his hand. "Alright then. We don't owe each other anything."
Mo Rongyi smiled. "Alright."
"Then I'll be going back." Zhao Ning said lightly. She hesitated for a moment. She originally wanted to persuade Mo Rongzhan not to get too close to Zhao Xin, but she didn't say anything.
"Miss Zhao, see you tomorrow." Mo Rongyi smiled as he looked at her back. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about a misunderstanding when he escorted her back to Qi.
Zhao Ning boarded the carriage without turning her head back.
"Prince, are we … going back to the residence?" Mo Rongyi stood there for a long time before he finally heard the servant ask him.
"En, let's go back." Mo Rongyi retracted his gaze. In his heart, he was thinking about whether Zhao Ning would be able to live a good life after returning to Qi. Looking at Zhao Xin's attitude towards her just now, it didn't seem very friendly.
