Zhao Ning followed Zhao Rao around the palace. Besides seeing the various concubines, she also received a lot of gifts. They were all gifts from the concubines. She didn't dare to take them, but Zhao Rao helped her take them back to Su Fang Palace.
"Why are you being so courteous with these concubines? Normally, it's hard for them to take out something," Zhao Rao smiled and said to Zhao Ning, "Just accept the gifts they gave you."
"You seem a bit embarrassed," Zhao Ning said.
Zhao Rao smiled and looked at her, "They only gave you these small gifts, and you're already embarrassed? What will you do in the future?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ning was confused. What did this have to do with the future?
"In this palace, every woman does things according to Father's wishes. You've been back for a few days, but Father is busy and has no time to see you. Everyone thinks that Father doesn't care about you and gives you old gifts. They say they're precious, but they're just fooling you because you've just entered the palace. Wait a few days, and they'll treat you differently," Zhao Rao smiled and said.
Zhao Ning felt that she really wasn't used to life in the palace. It was as if there was another meaning behind every word, "Big sister, I don't understand."
"You'll understand after today," Zhao Rao held Zhao Ning's hand, "Okay, it's getting late. Go back and tidy up. Tonight, you still have to go to Imperial Concubine Lu's place to see Father."
"Okay," Zhao Ning nodded lightly. She knew that Zhao Rao definitely had something to say to Zhao Xin, "Big sister, then I'll go back first."
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Ning's departing figure and pouted, "Big sister, why are you so good to her? She won't appreciate it at all."
"How do you know that Ah Ning won't appreciate it?" Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Xin, "I used her, and I've already let her down. If I treat her better now, when she gets married in the future, she'll know that I'm not harming her."
Marquis Anning's reputation wasn't very good, but the saying of cursing his wife couldn't be taken seriously. She even suspected that someone was intentionally trying to make Marquis Anning unable to find a wife. Zhao Ning was a princess of a country, and her fortune couldn't be compared to an ordinary woman's. Marrying Marquis Anning was the most suitable choice.
Zhao Xin said, "Big Sister did it for her own good!"
"You're not allowed to speak of this matter. Imperial Father hasn't given his word yet. The second prince definitely wants Lan 'er to marry Marquis Anning." Zhao Rao's expression was solemn as she gazed into the distance. She would not allow the second prince to rise.
If the Second Prince were to ascend the throne, wouldn't Concubine De be the Empress Dowager?
Concubine De … Concubine De …
An indescribable hatred welled up in Zhao Kuang's heart. Everyone thought that she was young and didn't understand anything, but in reality, she understood everything. Whether it was her mother's death or her unborn brother's hatred, she would make those who participated pay the price.
She didn't have the ability to take revenge yet. She had to wait … wait until she was strong enough.
"I didn't tell anyone. Lan 'er's body is so weak, so how could Imperial Father allow her to marry Marquis Anning? Wouldn't she be cursed to death?" Zhao Xin laughed softly. She also didn't understand what was going on with Zhao Lan. She kept clutching her chest and saying that she wasn't feeling well. It wasn't like she was born with a weak body, so how could she get sick so easily?
Zhao Rao slowly retracted her gaze. "Lan 'er's body isn't feeling well again?"
"Yes, when I went to her room yesterday, there was a strong smell of medicine. It was so unpleasant," Zhao Xin said. "Big sister, what do you think is going on with Lan 'er? I heard that her body was good when she was young. Why is it getting worse and worse? She can't even walk a few steps."
"Lan 'er's body isn't good. You should take care of her more," Zhao Rao said with a smile. "With Concubine De around, it's not convenient for me to visit Lan' er."
Zhao Xin pouted. "I don't know what Concubine De is worried about. Every time big sister visits Lan 'er, she insists, as if you would hurt Lan' er."
"Concubine De is just worried about Lan 'er," Zhao Rao said with a smile. "Have you arranged everything?"
"Big sister, don't worry. In the imperial court tomorrow, my uncle and the others will ask Imperial Father to marry Zhao Ning to Marquis Anning," Zhao Xin said with a smile. Of course, she hoped that Zhao Ning would marry quickly. In the Jin Kingdom, when she saw how close Zhao Ning was to Mo Rongyi, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Zhao Rao nodded lightly. "I hope there won't be any accidents!"
"Big sister, you promised me that you would help me choose a good marriage!" Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Rao, wanting to bring up the matter that Zhao Rao had promised her.
"Yes, I know. Why? Do you already have a marriage that you want?" Zhao Rao asked, amused.
Zhao Xin's cheeks turned slightly red, but she still nodded firmly. "Yes, big sister. I want to marry the Jin Kingdom's little prince!"
"What?" Zhao Rao was stunned. "Who did you say you want to marry?"
Zhao Xin was a little embarrassed by Zhao Rao's question. She gritted her teeth and said, "Big sister, I like the Jin Kingdom's little prince. I want to marry him!"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Rao scolded. "Why would you want to marry the Jin Kingdom's prince?"
"I … I just like him!" Zhao Xin said with a red face. "That day in the capital, the little prince saved my life. He is young and promising. The Jin Kingdom's emperor thinks highly of him. He is also good looking!"
Zhao Rao was so angry that she laughed. "He saved you. You want to repay him with your body? Do you think Imperial Father will agree to you marrying him?"
It was because she knew that Imperial Father would not agree that she wanted Zhao Rao's help!
"I thought you wanted to marry Crown Prince Song!" Zhao Rao frowned. She had always heard Zhao Xin mention Song Honao. She thought that she liked Song Honao.
Zhao Xin said, "Crown Prince Song is naturally good, but I like the little prince more!"
"I can't make a decision for you. Although the Qi Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are not incompatible, they have never interacted with each other. This time, it might have changed because of Zhao Ning. However, the marriage is not something that you and I can decide. It is still Imperial Father's decision!" Zhao Rao frowned. If she had known that Zhao Xin would like someone else so easily, she would not have let her follow her to the Jin Kingdom!
"I know. I just want to ask big sister to help me!" Zhao Xin frowned.
Zhao Rao frowned and looked at her. "If I can help you, I will definitely do so!"
"Then I will thank big sister!" Zhao Xin happily bowed. "It is getting late. We still have to go to Yi Kun Palace tonight. I will go back and change my clothes!"
"Go!" Zhao Ran nodded.
Zhao Xin happily returned to her palace. Zhao Rao looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.
"Eldest Princess!" The palace maid who had been following her from a distance walked to Zhao Rao's side.
"I heard that Valley Master Duanmu is in the palace … let the Eldest Prince go and find out what is going on!" Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
