1214. Chapter 1214 The Eldest Princess
Back in Qi State, Zhao Ning was arranged to live in Sufang Palace, which was the palace of the eldest princess. She lived in the West Side Palace. I heard that the eldest princess specifically requested this, saying that she would wait until she got married. This Sufang The palace was left to Zhao Ning.
Even if the palace where the eldest princess lives is not the best in the palace, it is definitely not bad. Even Zhao Xin mocked Zhao Ning jealously.
However, Zhao Ning was not happy at all. She wished she could stay away from the eldest princess, but she was just a helpless princess and could not make decisions for herself. When she came to the Qi Palace, Zhao Ning understood her situation more clearly. and status.
The eldest princess Zhao Rao even arranged where she lived, and he didn't even ask her for her opinion. She couldn't even think of making the decision on her own in other matters.
She still doesn’t know when she will be able to see her biological father. He doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to see her...
Look, her guess was indeed right. Her father didn't even remember her mother, so how could he care about her as a daughter? Are there not many children in his palace?
"Sister Ning, what are you thinking about standing here?" Suddenly, a soft voice interrupted Zhao Ning's meditation.
Zhao Ning, who was standing by the window, turned around and saw a slim young woman wearing a dark gray purple lotus dress with dark patterns walking in. This was the eldest princess of Qi, Zhao Rao, who looked completely different from Zhao Xin. And temperament, Zhao Rao makes people feel dignified and comfortable in both demeanor and behavior. There is a heroic aura between her eyebrows, which makes people can't help but bow their heads in front of her.
"Princess." Zhao Ning smiled lightly, probably because he heard Zhao Xin's conversation, Zhao Ning always had a defensive attitude towards Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao glanced at Zhao Ning with a smile, held her hand and said, "Why should you and I be so polite? Just like Xin'er and the others, just call me eldest sister."
If she hadn't been prepared, she would have regarded Zhao Rao as a sister she could trust and rely on. Zhao Rao personally went to the palace to pick her up and did everything by himself. No one had ever been so close to her since she was a child.
Unfortunately, she already knew that Zhao Rao just wanted to use her.
"Sister." Zhao Ning smiled shyly, "You are looking for me, are you okay?"
A gentle smile appeared on Zhao Rao Yanzi's pretty face, and she said softly, "It's been two days since you returned to the palace. My father has been busy these days, so he doesn't have time to see you, but he has ordered a banquet for you in the evening. , I will take you to meet the empresses of each palace, so you should get to know them in advance, okay?"
"Then thank you, big sister." Zhao Ning sighed in her heart. No wonder Zhao Xin can only make the decision for the eldest princess. No matter how you look at it, the eldest princess is completely different from Zhao Xin. Fortunately, she already knew that the eldest princess wanted to take advantage of her. She, otherwise she would definitely be like Zhao Xin, doing everything for the princess.
Zhao Rao is so good at being a person and winning people's hearts.
"Why are you dressed so plainly? Go and change into brighter clothes. I will take you to see Concubine Lu first." Zhao Rao said with a smile.
"Isn't it good for me to dress like this?" Zhao Ning asked doubtfully. She also dressed like this in Jinguo. She thought it was good.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's just that there is no need to dress so plainly. Put this on." She took a jade seven-treasure exquisite hairpin from the dressing table and inserted it into Zhao Ning's hair, and then took it for Zhao Ning. Put on gold wire hoop earrings and "add a little rouge, it will be much more beautiful."
Zhao Ning looked at herself in the mirror. She was indeed more beautiful and charming than before. She glanced at Zhao Rao with a smile and said, "Thank you, big sister."
Zhao Rao smiled and nodded, "Let's go, follow me to Yikun Palace to pay my respects to Concubine Lu."
"Concubine Lu?" Before Zhao Ning came to Qi State, although the Queen Mother had someone tell her about the situation in Qi State Palace, she had heard of Concubine Lu. She used to be a concubine of Jin State. After being deposed, She faked her death and escaped, and somehow became a noble concubine of Qi State.
Although he hasn't met Lu Shuang'er yet, Zhao Ning feels that she is definitely not that simple. Being able to be a noble concubine from the Jin Kingdom to the Qi Kingdom is beyond the comparison of ordinary women.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "If you like to get along with her, you can go to Yikun Palace often. If you feel that we can't talk, it doesn't matter. Just go and greet her occasionally."
"Okay." Zhao Ning nodded with a smile, thinking that she would not be able to talk to Lu Shuang'er. Everyone in this palace is not simple.
"Let's go." Zhao Rao held Zhao Ning's hand and walked out of Sufang Palace. It was not far from here to Yikun Palace. They said as they walked, "Have you lived in Jinguo Palace before? How does it compare with our palace?" Woolen cloth?"
Zhao Ning said, "Actually, the layout is similar, but Jin Kingdom's palace is still larger."
"That's Lan'er and Xin'er's palace over there. You can go and sit there when you have time." Zhao Rao pointed to the other side and said.
"Yes." Zhao Ning continued to nod. She didn't know how to get along with Zhao Rao. He was clearly using her secretly, so why could he treat her so well on the surface?
Zhao Rao said, "You are half a year older than Xin'er, and a little younger than Lan'er. From now on, you will be the fourth princess, and Xin'er will be the next in line. By the way, your second sister should already be at Concubine Lu's place. After a while, you will be the fourth princess." You can see it too.”
"Okay." Zhao Ning nodded.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing Zhao Ning like this, Zhao Rao thought she was nervous about meeting Lu Guifei, "I'm telling you quietly, in fact, no matter who the concubines in this palace are, they are all the same to the father. , we are the daughters of our father, more noble than anyone else."
Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Rao in surprise, the eldest princess was really confident.
"Sister, where are you going?"
While walking, Zhao Xin suddenly walked over from the side.
"It turns out it's Xin'er. I'm about to take Aning to see Concubine Lu to pay her respects. You can come too," Zhao Rao said with a smile.
Zhao Ning had been observing her silently. Zhao Rao seemed to be smiling no matter who he faced. She could easily have been bribed. If she hadn't known about being used early on, she would probably have given Zhao Rao her heart and soul by now. .
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I also want to pay my respects to Concubine Lu."
"My father is going to hold a banquet at the imperial concubine's place tonight to let everyone know about Aning. I will take Aning to each palace to sit down first." Zhao Rao explained with a smile, "Why are you alone? Where is Lan'er?"
"She is with Concubine De," Zhao Xin said.
Zhao Ning saw Zhao Rao's eyes raised, and turned to Zhao Ning and said, "Concubine De is sister Lan's mother-in-law. Lan'er probably went to see her for something. You haven't met her yet."
"No." Zhao Ning has been back for so long and has not seen Zhao Lan yet.
"We can see her tonight." Zhao Rao said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to Concubine Lu first."
