In Prince Yi Fu, the joyous days had passed for a few days. The Prince Yi Fu was still filled with a joyous atmosphere. The sky had just brightened and Zhao Ning had already woken up.
"Wangfei, are you going to get up?" Zi Juan heard the noise and lifted the curtain to enter. She had just woken up as well and was still emitting white steam when she spoke.
"En, help me change my clothes." Zhao Ning said in a low voice. She glanced at the soft couch at the side. There was a neatly arranged mattress on it. It looked like it had been folded long ago.
Zi Juan saw her looking at the soft couch and lowered her voice to say, "Wangye just left. He said he wanted to enter the palace."
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes. Her expression was indifferent and no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Wangfei, do you want to go out for a walk today? Wangye said that if there is nothing else, let this servant accompany you out for a walk. "Zi Juan asked carefully.
Ever since Zhao Ning became wangfei, she and Li Juan had been very careful every day. They did not know why Princess Ning had changed from guifei to wangfei. They originally thought that Zhao Ning would definitely not agree. A few days had passed and wangfei was still very calm. It was as if she already knew that this day would come.
She knew that the rumors outside said that it was because wangfei and wangye already had feelings for each other that the Emperor allowed them to be together. However, if wangfei and wangye really had feelings for each other, why hadn't they consummated their marriage until now? Wangye had been sleeping on the soft couch these few days.
"Go to Hu Guo Temple today." Zhao Ning said. In the future, she would be staying in the capital for a long time. She had to familiarize herself with the capital first.
If only the Empress was in the capital.
She never believed that Lu Yaoyao would die. She thought that she would definitely come back soon. However, so much time had passed and there seemed to be no news of her.
"Yes, wangfei." Zi Juan said. Even if she really wanted to know what was the problem between wangye and wangfei, she did not dare to ask.
No matter what, Princess Ning was already a wangfei. This was an iron-clad fact.
After Zhao Ning finished her breakfast and was preparing to leave, Lu Lingzhi came to see her.
"Chief Lin, what's the matter?" Zhao Ning lifted her eyes to look at this housekeeper from the State of Qi. She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she felt that his facial features seemed a little different from a few days ago. However, she couldn't pinpoint the exact difference. It seemed like he had lost some weight.
Lu Lingzhi's face was personally changed by Duanmu Ya. Although he hid it well a few days ago, it was still a little swollen. Today, it was finally fixed. He looked at Zhao Ning and saw that she was preparing to go out. He smiled and asked, "Is Princess planning to go out?"
"I want to go to Huguo Temple." Zhao Ning said that Lin Yan was the Chief Steward of her dowry. Currently, he was only helping to manage her dowry and other matters. He was not able to interfere with the matters of the Wang Fu.
Mo Rongyi had already given her the power to manage the wang manor, but the wang manor had a small population and the empress dowager was not in Jingdou. In reality, there was very little she had to do. In addition, there was already a steward. Every day, she only had to listen to the servants report back and forth on important matters.
"Princess, I want to buy a few estates in the suburbs of Jingdou. This way, you will have some land in Jingdou. If there are any suitable shops, you can also buy a few." Lu Lingzhi said. Zhao Yong had given Zhao Ning a lot of dowry, but it was all precious antiques, paintings, jewellery, gold and silver. He planned to use the time to buy property and land to expand his network in Jingdou.
He would not look for people he knew before. He was no longer Lu Lingzhi. He was only a Chief Steward by Princess Zhao Ning's side. He wasn't even a man anymore.
He had already lost his dignity. How could he let others know that he was Lu Lingzhi?
He only needed to remember one thing. For a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late.
Zhao Ning heard his suggestion and felt that it was not bad. "Alright, I will let Chief Steward Lin handle it."
Lu Lingzhi lowered his head and nodded. "Yes, Princess."
"Chief Steward Lin …" Zhao Ning looked at him. "Since we have just arrived, there are some matters in the wang manor that cannot be changed quickly. In the future … we will need to rely on you for many things."
"Princess, I understand." Lu Lingzhi smiled. Did Zhao Ning think that he wanted to be a Chief Steward in the wang manor? What he wanted was never this wang manor.
Zhao Ning nodded her head lightly. Seeing that Lu Lingzhi had left, she then brought the two maids to Hu Guo Temple.
She heard that the Emperor was going to lead the army. Mo Rongyi … Did he also want to go to Xi Liang? As Zhao Ning thought of this possibility, his eyebrows furrowed.
At this time, Mo Rongyi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity was indeed asking to go to Xi Liang.
"Brother, why don't you let me go with you?" Mo Rongyi looked at Mo Rongzhan eagerly. It was not that he had never been to the battlefield. Why didn't he go with him?
"You stay in Jingdou. I need you here." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were serious. Of course, he knew that his brother had been to the battlefield. But now, in addition to Xi Liang, Jingdou was also very important. "Yi, there are too many defenses in Jingdou. Other people can't do it. You stay. Tang Zhen will help you. If there is anything you need, just tell Tang Zhen to do it."
Mo Rongyi knew that his brother was talking about the problems of the royal family. He looked at Mo Rongzhan with a heavy heart. "But I want to go to Xi Liang more."
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see Zhao Ning? "Mo Rongzhan saw his brother's problem at a glance.
"Brother, how do you know?" Mo Rongyi looked at him in surprise. Then he said with annoyance, "It's not because of Zhao Ning."
Mo Rongzhan looked at him lightly. "Don't you like Zhao Ning?"
"I don't know …" Mo Rongyi whispered. He had never liked anyone. How would he know what it was like to like someone?
"When you are in Jingdou, live a good life with her." Mo Rongzhan laughed, but he felt lost. He knew that Yao Yao had been trying to help him recover his memory. Now that he remembered, she was gone.
He couldn't understand why she didn't like Chengde Villa. Now he understood that it was because of the knot in her heart.
The knot in Yao Yao's heart … had always been the two years in Prince Qin's Mansion.
Mo Rongyi remembered that he had been sleeping with Zhao Ning in the same room for the past few nights, but not on the same bed. If he said that he didn't have any feelings for her … it wasn't quite right. Actually, he did have feelings for her, but he felt that Zhao Ning didn't want to marry him, so he was too embarrassed to consummate the marriage with her.
"Alright, go back. When I leave the capital tomorrow, you still have to oversee the country. At that time, you will be so busy that you won't have time to interact with Zhao Ning." Mo Rongzhan sent his younger brother out of the palace.
Ever since he recovered his memories, he knew that Yaoyao was still alive. However, when would she return?
Did she … not want to come back?
Mo Rongyi said in a low voice, "Imperial Brother, then I'll head back first."
After leaving the palace, Mo Rongyi heard that Zhao Ning had gone to Hu Guo Temple. He hesitated for a moment and then let the manservant go to Hu Guo Temple.
At the mountain gate, he saw Zhao Ning who was preparing to return to the city.
"I heard that you came to Hu Guo Temple. I … I came to pick you up …" Mo Rongyi looked at Zhao Ning with some restraint.
Zhao Ning stared blankly for a moment, then laughed. He extended his hand and let Mo Rongyi lead him into the carriage.
