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 Xipian Palace. I heard that the eldest princess asked for this specially, saying that she would marry out later. This Sufang The palace happened to be reserved for Zhao Ning.
The palace where the eldest princess lives is not the best in the palace, but it is definitely not bad. Even Zhao Xin satirized Zhao Ning with jealousy.
However, Zhao Ning was not happy at all. She wished to stay away from the eldest princess, but she was just a helpless princess who could not make decisions for herself. When she came to the Qi Palace, Zhao Ning became more aware of her situation and status.
The princess Zhao Rao even arranged where she lived, and she didn't even ask her opinion, let alone make decisions on other matters.
I don't know when I will be able to meet her biological father, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to meet her...
See, the guess in her heart is indeed correct, the father doesn't even remember his mother, so why would he care about her daughter? Are there still few 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 her head and saw a young woman in a dark gray-purple long dress with lotus patterns coming in gracefully. This is Zhao Rao, the eldest princess of Qi, and she has a completely different appearance from Zhao Xin. And temperament, Zhao Rao made people feel dignified and at ease no matter in her demeanor or demeanor. There was a heroic aura in her brows, which made people want to bow their heads in front of her.
"Princess." Zhao Ning smiled slightly, probably because she heard Zhao Xin's conversation, Zhao Ning always had a sense of resistance towards Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao glanced at Zhao Ning with a smile, held her hand and said, "Why are you and my sister so polite, just like Xiner and the others, just call me big sister."
If she hadn't been prepared, she would have regarded Zhao Rao as a trustworthy older sister. Zhao Rao went to pick her up from outside the palace and did everything by herself. Since she was a child, no one had ever been so close to her.
Unfortunately, she already knew that Zhao Rao just wanted to use her.
"Big sister." Zhao Ning smiled shyly, "You are looking for me, what can I do?"
A gentle smile appeared on Zhao Raoyan's pretty face, and she said softly, "It's been two days since you returned to the palace, and my father is busy these days, so I don't have time to see you, but I have ordered a banquet for you in the evening , I will take you to meet the empresses of the various palaces, so let’s get to know each other first, okay?”
"Then thank you big sister." Zhao Ning sighed in her heart. No wonder Zhao Xin can only make decisions for the big princess. No matter how you look at it, the big princess is ten blocks away from Zhao Xin. She, otherwise she must be like Zhao Xin, doing everything for the eldest princess with all her heart.
Zhao Rao is too good at life, too good at buying people's hearts.
"Why are you dressed so plainly? Go change into brighter clothes, and I'll take you to see Lu Guifei first." Zhao Rao said with a smile.
"Is it okay for me to dress like this?" Zhao Ning asked suspiciously. She also dressed like this in Jinguo, and she thought it was pretty good.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's just that there's no need to dress so plainly. Put this on." She took a jade hairpin from the dressing table and stuck it in Zhao Ning's hair, and put it on for Zhao Ning. Put on gold wire hoops and drop bead earrings, "Put a little more rouge on it, and it will look much more beautiful."
Zhao Ning looked at herself in the mirror, and she was indeed more beautiful than before. She smiled and glanced at Zhao Rao, "Thank you, big sister."
Zhao Rao smiled and nodded, "Let's go, follow me to Yikun Palace to greet Concubine Lu Gui."
"Concubine Lu?" Before Zhao Ning came to Qi State, although the Empress had someone tell her about the situation in the Qi State Palace, she had heard of this Concubine Lu Gui. She used to be the imperial concubine of Jin State. She feigned death and escaped, and somehow became the noble concubine of Qi State.
Although she hasn't seen Lu Shuang'er yet, Zhao Ning feels that she is definitely not that simple. Being able to become a noble concubine from Jin Kingdom to Qi Kingdom is no match for ordinary women.
Zhao Rao smiled and said, "If you like to get along with her, you can go to Yikun Palace often. If you don't think we can talk, it doesn't matter, just go to invite each other once in a while."
"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 easy.
"Let's go." Zhao Rao took Zhao Ning's hand and walked out of Sufang Palace. It is not far from here to Yikun Palace. They walked while talking, "You have lived in Jinguo Palace, how does it compare with our palace? Woolen cloth?"
Zhao Ning said, "Actually, the layout is similar, but Jin Guo's palace is still bigger."
"That's Lan'er and Xin'er's palace over there, you can sit there if you have time." Zhao Rao pointed to the other side.
"Yes." Zhao Ning continued to nod. She didn't know how to get along with Zhao Rao. She was clearly using her secretly, so why did she treat her so well on the surface
Zhao Rao said, "You are half a year older than Xin'er, and younger than Lan'er. You will be the fourth princess in the future, and Xin'er will be in the back row. By the way, your second sister should already be with Concubine Lu Gui. You can see it too."
"Okay." Zhao Ning nodded.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing Zhao Ning like this, Zhao Rao thought she was nervous to see Concubine Lu, "Let me tell you quietly, in fact, the concubines in this palace, no matter who they are, are the same to my father. , we are the daughters of the emperor, more noble than anyone else."
Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Rao in surprise, the eldest princess really has confidence.
"Big sister, where are you going?"
While walking, Zhao Xin suddenly walked over from the side.
"It turned out to be Xin'er. I was just about to take Aning to greet Concubine Lu Gui. You can come too." Zhao Rao said with a smile.
Zhao Ning has been observing her silently all the time. Zhao Rao seems to be all smiles no matter who she is facing, so she will be bribed easily. If she didn't know that she was being used early in the morning, she would probably have given her heart and soul to Zhao Rao by now. up.
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence, I also want to pay my respects to Concubine Lu Gui."
"Father is going to host a banquet at the imperial concubine's place tonight, so that everyone can know about Aning. I will take Aning to the various palaces first." Zhao Rao explained with a smile, "Why are you alone, where is Lan'er?"
"She's on the side of Empress Concubine De." Zhao Xin said.
Seeing the corners of Zhao Rao's eyes raised, Zhao Ning turned to Zhao Ning and said, "Concubine De is the mother concubine of Sister Lan. Lan'er probably went to find her for something. You haven't seen her yet."
"No." Zhao Ning has been back for so long, and he hasn't seen that Zhao Lan yet.
"We can see you tonight." Zhao Rao said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to Concubine Lu first."
