"Sister, you are really bad." Zhao Xiang smiled, and then said to Zhao Ning, "I will go to you tomorrow, and I have another gift for you."
Zhao Rao chuckled, "Let me guess, what rare book are you going to give Ah Ning?"
"What happened to the rare book? I finally found it." Zhao Xiang glared at Zhao Rao.
Seeing the two sisters talking around Zhao Ning, Zhao Xin felt a little unhappy, so he interjected forcefully, "Eldest sister, second sister, Ah Ning grew up in a fishing village, so she may not be able to understand your rare books." , maybe you don’t even know a few words.”
Her voice was so loud that even Lu Shuang'er heard it from above. The hall, which was talking to each other, fell silent for a moment, and everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning suddenly felt embarrassed to be seen as a joke. Her face turned red, and she was angry and hated Zhao Xin in her heart. Seeing that she was being followed by her two sisters, she must be jealous.
"You still say that others, you grew up in the palace, why can't you understand my books?" Zhao Xiang explained Zhao Ning's embarrassment, and teased Zhao Xin with some displeasure.
Zhao Rao also said, "I saw her practicing calligraphy in Aning's room the other day, and her handwriting was better than yours, so you have the nerve to say that about Aning."
"Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I'm not wrong, why are you all coming after me?" Zhao Xin stamped her feet, hating Zhao Ning for stealing her limelight even more.
"Okay, don't always talk about others, so as not to expose your shortcomings." Zhao Rao gave her a warning look.
Zhao Xin had no choice but to sit back happily, seeing Zhao Ning drooping his eyes and pretending to be wronged, he felt even more annoyed, and was about to say something to stab her, when the voice of the palace servant came from outside.
"The emperor is here..."
Zhao Ning raised her head abruptly, with anticipation in her eyes. However, she soon discovered that the women in the hall seemed to have strange expressions about the emperor's arrival. It was an expression of anticipation and fear. Could it be that they should be very happy to see the emperor?
Even Zhao Xin, who was full of arrogance just now, shrank her shoulders and hid behind Zhao Rao.
Zhao Ning was wondering, when he saw a man wearing a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with dark silver patterns boldly walked in from outside, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly concentrated, as if there was a terrifying pressure emanating from that man, It was so overwhelming that no one dared to take a big breath.
"Greetings to the emperor." Lu Shuang'er stood at the front, and she knelt down to greet Zhao Yong, her voice full of awe.
"Get up." Zhao Yong looked around at everyone, raised his hand slightly, and sat down on the top seat.
Lu Shuang'er stood up, with a proper smile on her delicately made-up face, "Your Majesty, the sisters and the princesses are waiting for you."
Zhao Yong smiled faintly, and said in a mellow and hoarse voice, "Sit down, today is a family banquet, so don't be too restrained."
This voice... sounds very familiar.
Zhao Ning was confused, and raised his head to look up quietly. This young man did not look old. His eyes were cold and sharp, and his sharp eyebrows were slightly frowned. She is mature and stable, with a faint smile that people dare not look directly at.
Why does he look so similar to Prince Shen
"Everyone knows that I have a daughter, right? You've all met Ning'er. From now on, she will be Princess Ningyang of Qi. She should be ranked fourth according to her age, so she will be the fourth princess." Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Ning, although the voice is not high, it still has an aura that suppresses everything.
Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Ning, and Lu Shuang'er said with a smile, "Congratulations to Princess Ningyang, she is now a legitimate Princess of Qi."
Zhao Ning hadn't recovered yet, she looked at Zhao Yong in a daze, and felt that she was too much like Lord Shen.
"A Ning, what are you thinking, hurry up and thank your father, you will be Princess Ningyang from now on." Zhao Rao reminded Zhao Ning in a low voice beside her.
"Ah!" Zhao Ning came back to his senses, and hurried out to salute Zhao Yong, "Thank you, Father."
Zhao Yong looked at her gently. He knew Zhao Ning's every move in the palace these days. This daughter was smarter than he imagined. She knew how to survive in the palace when she first arrived. Son, Zhao Ning should be the smartest.
Really... why are his daughters stronger than his son
"Are you still used to it in the palace?" Zhao Yong asked as gently as possible.
"I'm used to everything. The empress and several elder sisters in the palace take good care of their daughter." Zhao Ning replied with her head lowered, but she really wanted to ask if this emperor father was Shen Shen whom she had met in Jin Kingdom before. Prince Shen, why do they look so similar? Although Prince Shen's face does not seem to be so stern, there is a little difference, but no matter how you look at it, you look like the same person.
Zhao Yong knew that Zhao Rao took good care of this younger sister, but as for whether he was sincere or had other plans, that was another matter.
"I owe you mother and daughter many years. Your mother has passed away, and I will posthumously make her a virtuous concubine. If you need anything in the palace, just tell Concubine Lu Gui or Raoer." Zhao Yong said softly.
Zhao Ning still lowered his head, "Yes, father."
"All take your seats." Zhao Yong glanced at Zhao Ning, and then at the other daughters.
"Your Majesty, all the sisters in the palace are here, but I don't see Mrs. Liu Gui who just entered the palace. I don't know if she is unwell or..." Concubine Zhuang Hui hesitated to speak. Why does she put others in the eyes of her
Zhao Yong said flatly, "Then let someone go and call Liu Guiren here."
Lu Shuang'er's eyes flickered slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Zhuang Hui, and smiled, "The concubine will be invited."
This newcomer to the palace, Liu Guiren, is actually Liu Qiaoer brought back by Zhao Yong from Jin Kingdom. She originally thought that she was only following a prince, but it was only when she arrived in Qi Kingdom that she realized that she was actually the emperor. A person from a family background originally only wanted to earn enough food and clothing for the future, and no one thought that she could become a noble person. However, since entering the palace, she has been favored and served the emperor every day, and she can bear it for a day or two. Her body was also a little unbearable, she basically fell asleep in the palace during the day, it wasn't because she didn't want to come out to see more people, it was because she didn't have the energy.
I heard that the emperor held a banquet at Yikun Palace today, and she was already ready to come, but no one came to invite her, and she didn't know how to get there, so she had to wait in Chuxiu Palace, until finally someone came to invite her , she came to Yikun Palace with a dazzling dress.
The moment Lu Shuang'er saw Liu Guiren's appearance, her expression turned ugly.
This woman... isn't Liu Qiao'er from Yiyin Pavilion
Liu Qiao'er used to be the little maid of the Lu family!
