1269. Chapter 1269 Roommate
In Prince Yi's Mansion, a few days have passed since the big day. The palace is still filled with joy and joy. The sky has only just turned slightly bright, and Zhao Ning has already gotten up.
"Princess, are you getting up?" Zijuan heard the noise, raised the curtain and came in. She had just gotten up, and she was still breathing white when she spoke.
"Well, change my clothes for me." Zhao Ning whispered. She glanced at the soft couch beside her. There were neat mattresses on it, which seemed to have been folded long ago.
Seeing her looking at the soft couch, Zicuckoo lowered her voice and said, "The prince just left, saying he wanted to enter the palace."
Zhao Ning lowered her eyelids, her expression indifferent and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
"Princess, do you want to go out for a walk today? The prince said that if nothing happens, he will ask his servant to accompany you to relax outside." Zijuan asked cautiously.
Ever since Zhao Ning became the princess, she and Li Juan had been careful every day. They didn't know why Princess Ning would change from a noble concubine to a princess. They thought Zhao Ning would definitely disagree. Several days passed, and the princess remained calm. It's as if I already knew this day would happen.
She knew that there were rumors outside that the emperor had consummated their relationship because the princess and the prince had been in love for a long time. However, if the princess and the prince were really in love, why hadn't they consummated their marriage until now? The prince has been sleeping on a soft couch these days.
"Go to Huguo Temple today." Zhao Ning said, she will live in Kyoto for a long time in the future, and she must get familiar with Kyoto first.
It would be great if the Empress was in Kyoto.
She never believed that Lu Yaoyao would die, and thought that she would definitely come back soon, but it had been so long and there seemed to be no news about her.
"Yes, Princess." Zijuan said. Even if she really wanted to know what the problem was between the prince and the princess, she didn't dare to ask.
No matter what, it is an ironclad fact that Princess Ning is now the princess.
After Zhao Ning had breakfast and was about to go out, Lu Lingzhi came over to see him.
"What's the matter with the temporary manager?" Zhao Ning raised her eyes and looked at the manager who came from Qi. She wondered if it was her imagination. She felt that his facial features seemed a little different from the previous days, but what was the specific difference? She added Not coming out, seems to have lost a little weight.
Lu Lingzhi's face was changed by Duanmuya himself. Although he had concealed it well a few days ago, there was still some swelling. It was repaired today. He glanced at Zhao Ning and found that she was getting ready to go out, so he asked with a smile. , "Is the princess planning to go out?"
"I want to go to Huguo Temple." Zhao Ning said, Linyan was the manager who came with her as a dowry, and now he only takes care of various dowry matters for her. He has not yet been able to intervene in the affairs of the palace.
Merongyi has handed over the stewardship of the palace to her. However, the palace has a small population, and the Queen Mother is not in Kyoto. In fact, she has very little to do. In addition, she already has a steward, and she hears servants coming every day. Just report back on important matters.
"Princess, I want to buy a few villages in the suburbs of Kyoto. In this way, you can count as having land in Kyoto. If you have suitable shops, you can also buy a few." Lu Lingzhi said, Zhao Yong gave Zhao Ning His dowry is quite large, but it is all precious antiques, paintings, calligraphy, jewelry, gold and silver. He plans to use the time to purchase real estate and land to re-establish a network of connections in Kyoto.
He won't go looking for people he knew before. He is no longer Lu Lingzhi. He is just a steward around Princess Zhao Ning... not even a man anymore.
His dignity had long been lost, so how could he let others know that he was Lu Lingzhi.
He only needs to remember one thing, a gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Zhao Ning heard his suggestion and thought it was good, "Okay, let's leave it to the interim manager."
Lu Lingzhi lowered his head and nodded, "Yes, Princess."
"General Manager..." Zhao Ning glanced at him, "Now that we have just arrived, there are some things in the palace that we should not rush to change. In the future... there are still many things that we need to rely on you for."
"Princess, I understand." Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. Did Zhao Ning think he cared about being a steward in the palace? What he wanted was never this palace.
Zhao Ning nodded gently, and after seeing Lu Lingzhi retreat, she took the two maids to Huguo Temple.
I heard that the emperor wanted to lead the expedition in person, Mo Rongyi...could he also want to go to Xiliang? Zhao Ning frowned tightly when he thought of this possibility.
At this time, Merongyi, who was in Qianqing Palace, was indeed asking to go to Xiliang.
"Brother Emperor, why don't you let me follow you?" Murong Yi looked at Murong Zhan eagerly. It's not like he has never been on the battlefield, so why don't you let him follow him to Xiliang?
"You stay in Kyoto, I need you to stay here." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were serious. Of course he knew that his younger brother had been to the battlefield, but now besides Xiliang, Kyoto is also very important. "Ayi, there are too many precautions in Kyoto. No, others can’t. If you stay, Tang Zhen will help you. If you need anything, just ask Tang Zhen to do it.”
Merongyi knew that the emperor brother was talking about the clan issues. He looked at Merongzhan with some seriousness, "But I would rather go to Xiliang."
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see Zhao Ning?" Mo Rongzhan could see the crux of his brother's problem at a glance.
"Brother Imperial, how do you know?" Merongyi looked at him in surprise, and then said angrily, "It's not because of Zhao Ning."
Mo Rongzhan looked at him indifferently, "Don't you like Zhao Ning?"
"I don't know..." Mo Rongyi whispered. He had never liked anyone else, so how could he know what it was like to like someone.
"When you are in Kyoto, live a good life with her." Mo Rongzhan laughed, but felt disappointed in his heart. He knew that Yaoyao had been trying to find a way to restore his memory, but now that he remembered it, she was gone.
He couldn't understand why she didn't like being in Chengde Villa before, but now he understood that it was because of her knot in her heart.
Yaoyao's heart knot...has always been those two years in Prince Qin's Mansion.
Merongyi remembered that he and Zhao Ning had been in the same room but not on the same bed for the past few nights. It didn't seem right to say that he didn't feel anything. In fact, he still had feelings. However, he felt that Zhao Ning didn't want to marry him. So he was too embarrassed to consummate the marriage with her.
"Okay, go back. When I leave Kyoto tomorrow, you will have to supervise the country. By then, you will be too busy to spend time with Zhao Ning." Murong Zhan sent his younger brother out of the palace.
Since he recovered his memory, he has become more aware that Yaoyao is still alive, but when is her return date?
Does she... don't want to come back?
Merongyi whispered, "Brother Emperor, I'll go back first."
After leaving the palace, Merongyi heard that Zhao Ning had gone to Huguo Temple. He hesitated and asked the servant to go to Huguo Temple.
I happened to see Zhao Ning preparing to return to the city at the mountain gate.
"I heard that you came to Huguo Temple, I...I came to pick you up..." Merongyi looked at Zhao Ning with some restraint and said.
Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and stretched out his hand to let Mo Rongyi lead him into the carriage.
