In the palace of Qi Kingdom.
Zhao Rao was reading the memorials, but she couldn't help but look outside. "Is the Grand Secretary here?"
The servant replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Grand Secretary hasn't entered the palace yet."
Why hasn't he entered the palace? Usually, he would be here reading the memorials with her.
"Send someone to see what's going on." Zhao Rao frowned and looked anxious.
"Your Majesty, I sent someone to check an hour ago," the servant said in a low voice. Moreover, the Emperor asked about Cheng Zheng's situation in less than a quarter of an hour. She didn't know how many people had been sent to find the Grand Secretary.
Zhao Rao threw the red brush pen on the table, stood up and walked to the door. She frowned and looked into the distance.
What did Cheng Zheng do? Why hasn't he come yet?
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside." The servant put a cloak on Zhao Rao.
At this moment, the servant hurried over and bowed to Zhao Rao.
"Is the Grand Secretary here?" Zhao Rao asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, it's the Second Princess," the servant said in a low voice.
Zhao Rao's eyes flashed with disappointment. "Let Zhao Xiang in."
"Yes." The servant left to invite Zhao Xiang into the imperial study.
After a while, Zhao Xiang came.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhao Xiang, who was already a wife, was much more plump. She didn't look like Zhao Rao. Compared to Zhao Rao's charm, she was graceful and gentle. She used to have the best relationship with Zhao Rao.
"Xiang 'er, what's the matter?" Zhao Xiang asked in a low voice. Because she was anxious to see Cheng Zheng, she was even a little impatient with her sister.
Zhao Xiang smiled and said softly, "I heard that Your Majesty is not well. I'm worried about you …"
"Xiang 'er." Zhao Rao looked up at her calmly. "You never lie in front of me. I've been ill for half a month. It's just a common cold. I've recovered."
"Your Majesty …" Zhao Xiang lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhao Xiang asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xiang looked up at Zhao Rao. "My sister wants to see Ning 'er."
"Didn't I tell you? She has already returned to Jin with Mo Rongyi. "Zhao Kuang said coldly," Xiang 'er, do you doubt my words? "
"When Mo Rongyi left the Imperial Capital, he was alone. He didn't bring Ning 'er with him." Zhao Xiang and Zhao Rao looked straight at each other. Ever since she married into the Song Family, she had always been content with her lot. She didn't like to get involved in the affairs of the court. Even when her First Uncle Song Hong 'ao resigned, she didn't say anything. But now, Zhao Rao's change made her feel bitterly disappointed. The Fifth Prince had already given up the throne. For so many years, he had been in the Summer Palace and hadn't caused any trouble. Their sister Zhao Ning was even more innocent.
Zhao Rao slammed the table and stood up. "Xiang 'er, are you doubting what we said?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Zhao Xiang replied calmly, "I just don't understand why Your Majesty left Ning 'er and let Mo Rongyi go back to Jin Kingdom alone. Ning' er is pregnant. I'm worried about her and want to see her. I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
"Zhen said, Ning 'er has already returned to Jin Kingdom!" Zhao Rao said word by word, "Whether you believe it or not, zhen doesn't need to explain to you. Leave!"
Zhao Xiang looked suspiciously at Zhao Rao. Was Ning 'er really not in the Imperial Capital? Then where would she be?
"Your Majesty stays in the Palace all day and doesn't know anything that happens outside. I hope you won't be deceived by others." Zhao Xiang remembered their sisterhood and couldn't help but remind Zhao Rao in a low voice.
"Second Princess wants to say that this official has deceived the Emperor?" Cheng Zheng walked in with large strides as if entering his own home. He stood in front of Zhao Xiang, his eyes sharp and cold.
"So it's jiujiu …" Zhao Xiang finished speaking and laughed at herself, "Ben gong forgot again. You're no longer jiujiu, but the Grand Chief."
Zhao Rao's eyes were slightly cold as she looked at Zhao Xiang.
"If Second Princess wants to see Fourth Princess, why don't you let the Song Second Master take you to Jin Kingdom?" Cheng Zheng said coldly.
"The Grand Chief should know best whether Ning 'er is in the Imperial Capital or Jin Kingdom." Zhao Xiang straightened her back, "Your Majesty, if there are no other orders, chen mei will leave first."
Zhao Rao waved her hand, "Leave."
"Second Princess, take care." Cheng Zheng's handsome face held a trace of a cold smile.
Zhao Xiang turned to leave the Imperial Study. The palace servants also filed out at Cheng Zheng's signal.
"Cheng Zheng!" Zhao Kuang scolded in a sweet voice.
"You're tired of waiting?" Cheng Zheng's cold expression softened. He hugged Zhao Rao's slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her pink lips. After a strong sucking, he reluctantly put down the panting Zhao Rao, "There's something to take care of outside the city. What did you find me for?"
Zhao Rao hooked his chin, "I heard you were looking all over the city for someone. Did the concubine you kept in the fu run away?"
"You think I would keep a concubine at home?" Cheng Zheng looked at her with a faint smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
"The Grand Chief is like the sun in the sky in the Qi Kingdom. Many women throw themselves at you," Zhao Kuang harrumphed.
Cheng Zheng lifted her up and let her sit on him, "What if I really keep a concubine?"
"Then I'll keep a pretty boy," Zhao Rao said unhappily.
"Am I not your pretty boy?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her lips.
Zhao Kuang said with a red face, "You're the one who doesn't want to marry me."
Cheng Zheng looked down at her, "If I marry you, will I become a royal husband who can't participate in politics?"
"I can decree that you still be the Grand Chief," Zhao Rao said.
"No need, this is good." When he helped her to this position, he already didn't care about the matter of status. It was enough as long as they could be together.
Zhao Rao grabbed his collar, "Don't change the subject. Who are you looking for in the capital?"
"It's not what you think," Cheng Zheng said lightly, "You'll know in the future."
Actually, she didn't believe that he had any concubines at home. Ever since he liked her, he hadn't touched any other women. When she was the Eldest Princess, he often spent the night in her Princess Palace. Now, he was almost in the palace with her every night, but she couldn't think of anything else that he would hide from her.
Zhao Rao grabbed his hand, "Tell me now."
Cheng Zheng smiled, "Little Rou, you just need to know that no matter what I do, it's for your own good. That's enough."
"Is it Ning 'er?" Zhao Rao remembered Zhao Xiang's purpose for coming today. She frowned and stared at Cheng Zheng, "You're looking for Ning' er?"
"What did Zhao Xiang tell you?" Cheng Zheng asked in a low voice.
"She's telling the truth!" Zhao Rong stood up from Cheng Zheng's lap, "You detained Ning 'er in the capital?"
Cheng Zheng held her hand, "Little Rou, sit down and listen to me first."
Zhao Rao looked at him hesitantly for a while, then sat down again and faced Cheng Zheng.
