1126. Chapter 1126 Tit for Tat

Zhao Ning was in a very nervous mood!

She knew that the envoy from Qi State had arrived, and she would soon be able to confirm her identity. According to what Murong Ke had told her before, she must be the princess of Qi State. However, before receiving confirmation from the envoy from Qi State, she I still feel a little uneasy.

What if she is not the princess of Qi?

Then all the maids and respect that belong to her now are gone, and she suddenly becomes a fisherwoman that everyone looks down upon?

"Girl, don't be nervous." Zicuckoo saw that Zhao Ning was shaking while sitting in the carriage, and she knew that the girl must be too nervous.

"I heard that the prince of Qi is here this time, right?" Zhao Ning wrung her hands together tightly. She didn't want to be nervous, but she couldn't control the fear in her heart.

Zijuan said, "In addition to the King of Qi, the four princesses of Qi are also here."

Zhao Ning frowned slightly, "Fourth princess? What is she doing here?"

"My slave doesn't know either." Zijuan said.

"Are you thinking about marrying Jin Guo?" Zhao Ning frowned even more. She hadn't met the fourth princess yet, and she was already conflicted in her heart.

Zijuan smiled and said, "No, it is unlikely that Jin and Qi will get married. I heard that there was no contact between the two countries before. Even if they get married, it will not be at this time."

Zhao Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want the princess of Qi to marry Jin. In this way, her relationship with Jin became more subtle. Now at least she has some kindness to the emperor and queen of Jin. , she can still ask them for help if she has difficulties in Qi State in the future. If other princesses marry with Jin State, it will be different.

"Girl, we're here." When they arrived at the palace gate, Zijuan helped Zhao Ning get out of the car.

"Concubine Shu is hosting a banquet in Xiuhe Palace to entertain the four princesses of Qi. Let's go to Xiuhe Palace first." Zijuan said, which is what the palace meant yesterday.

Zhao Ning nodded gently and followed the palace attendants leading the way to Xiuhe Palace.

"Miss Zhao is here."

As soon as she walked into the hall, Zhao Ning heard a gentle and soft voice with a smile. She looked at the woman sitting in the upper seat. Seeing that she was wearing a pink palace dress, it was not difficult to guess that this person was the one who had been very popular in Kyoto recently. Concubine Shu.

"I've seen Concubine Shu." Zhao Ning knelt down and saluted.

Hu Yue'er waved her hands with a smile, "Miss Zhao, please forgive me, we are waiting for you."

us? Zhao Ning paused in her heart and stood up with a slight smile on her face. She did not deliberately look at the person next to her. When she just came in, she had already glanced at it. It was a young woman with gorgeous clothes and a gorgeous appearance. If she guessed correctly, If so, she should be the fourth princess of Qi.

"Concubine Xie Shu." Zhao Ning said with a smile. She had learned a lot of etiquette these days and would not look like a carefree fisherman.

Zhao Xin had been observing Zhao Ning when she entered the hall. When she found that Zhao Ning was prettier than her, she felt even more disliked by this sister who suddenly appeared.

"Is this the fisherman girl that the Jin Kingdom envoy mentioned?" Zhao Xin stood up, walked towards Zhao Ning with a bright smile on her face, and held Zhao Ning's hand in a friendly way, "I heard that my sister is fifteen years old this year. , you are one year older than me, Zhao Li should call you sister, you must have suffered a lot in the fishing village these years, tsk tsk, these hands have become thicker, how pitiful."

These words sounded like sympathy and pity, but in reality they were overtly sarcastic. Zhao Ning felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "Thank you for your concern, sister. Suffering in the past was nothing. In the future, if you get to know your father, everything will naturally get better." .”

The bright smile on Zhao Xin's face froze slightly. She felt bored thinking that there would be another Zhao Ning competing in the palace in the future. "Over the years, there have been many children who said that they are the daughters of their father, but none of them can stand up to the father." He was forced to interrogate, but his trap was revealed in just a few words, and he ended up pitiful in the end. His father pulled out his tongue and threw him in a mass grave."

Zhao Ning's expression changed. Was this a metaphor that she was not Zhao Yong's daughter?

"Really? Then I am really more eager to see my father." Zhao Ning said with a smile.

"I hope that when you see my father, you won't be so scared that your legs become weak." Zhao Xin said seriously, "Even a few of us are cautious when meeting our father."

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "This is the first time I have heard that a daughter will be afraid of her father."

Hu Yue'er didn't expect that the sisters would be tit-for-tat when they met for the first time. She shook her head with a headache, "Fourth Princess, Miss Zhao, why don't we sit down and talk."

"Look, I was only talking to my sister and I forgot that Concubine Shu was here." Zhao Xin said with a smile, turned around and slowly sat back to her original position.

Zhao Ning also sat down. She was in no mood to deal with a princess who didn't want her to return to Qi. She just wanted to see the Qi envoy quickly and confirm her identity.

"Concubine Shu, where is the envoy from Qi?" Zhao Ning asked Hu Yue'er after sitting down.

"The emperor is summoning the envoys from Qi State at Qianqing Palace. I believe Miss Zhao will be able to see them soon." Hu Yue'er said.

Zhao Ning suppressed her expectations. She really wanted to see the envoy immediately. However, since the emperor summoned them, she seemed to have no other choice but to wait.

Qianqing Palace, main hall.

Zhao Yong hugged two graceful wine waiters on the left and right, with a bohemian smile on his lips. He looked up at Mo Rongzhan and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, can it be that you can't see all of these beauties?" Doesn’t it appeal to your eyes?”

Murong Zhan took a sip of wine. The prince was the only one in the whole hall who held the two dancers who had just danced in his arms. The others were only surrounded by two wine-waiting maids, and few of them dared to hold the wine-waiting maids like him. The palace maid held her in her arms.

"I don't have Prince Shen's preferences." Mo Rongzhan said with a half-smile.

Zhao Yong laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, do you dislike women, or do you dislike having too many women?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhen looked at him angrily, "I'm afraid there are only a few people in this world who are as romantic as Prince Shen."

"There are many years without romance." Zhao Yong said with a smile.

Tang Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Prince Shen is already so old, why do you still call yourself a young man?"

Zhao Yong looked at Tang Zhen indifferently, "What I mean is that romance should start from a young age, so that you can stay young forever."

Murong Zhan signaled Tang Zhen not to say any more, "Prince Shen is free to speak."

"I heard that there is an autumn hunt every year in the Kingdom of Jin. I wonder if there is a chance to see the emperor's archery this year?" Zhao Yong let go of the palace maid in his arms. Although he knew that Mo Rongzhan might not let him go to the autumn hunt with him, he still wanted to Ask.

"Does Prince Shen like hunting?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile. After observing Zhao Zhongshen for so long, he didn't believe it if he was really a romantic prince who only visited brothels.

In the eyes of others, Murong Ke was just an idle prince. He was not as useless as the rumors outside said.

This Zhao Zhongshen might be the same.
