1260. Chapter 1260 On the Occasion of Marriage
Sufang Palace.
"Princess, Princess Ning is about to leave the palace." A palace maid walked up to Zhao Rao and reminded in a low voice that Princess Ning was going to marry to the Kingdom of Jin today, wouldn't the eldest princess want to see her off?
Zhao Rao was still immersed in the memories of being at Cheng's house half a month ago.
She didn't expect Cheng Zheng to change so much, nor did she expect him to be so cold and indifferent. She was still his niece after all, but he didn't seem to care about her at all. He didn't even care about the Cheng family. It was like they didn't recognize each other. Cold-blooded.
What made her most angry was that he actually threw her out of the practice room and warned her not to go to him again.
What does Cheng Zheng mean? He said that the person he was loyal to was the emperor. Could it be that his father asked him to marry Zhao Lan, would he really do it?
Zhao Rao felt like there were millions of ants biting her in her heart. She knew that her father had invited Duanmu Valley Master to be in the palace. If she guessed correctly, he should be treating his father himself. She didn't know What exactly is wrong with the father's health, but he has been calling the eldest prince and the second prince to his side in the past two days, which proves that he is already thinking about his two sons.
She couldn't let the second prince become the crown prince, absolutely not!
Originally she could still win over Cheng Zheng, but after meeting him once, she felt that the possibility was almost zero.
When he thought of Cheng Zheng, Zhao Rao felt upset again.
"Princess..." Seeing that she hadn't come back to her senses, the maid next to her couldn't help shouting again.
Zhao Rao frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Princess Ning is leaving the palace." The palace maid said hurriedly.
"So fast!" Zhao Rao looked at the sky outside in surprise, only to realize that it was already dawn at some time, "I'll go see An Ning off."
Zhao Ning wanted to get married, and today was the day to leave the palace for the Kingdom of Jin. In addition to Zhao Rao, many people in the palace came to see her off.
Lu Shuang'er has not been in good spirits these days, but because Zhao Yong asked her to take care of Zhao Ning's marriage, she had to work hard for several days, and today she was finally able to marry Zhao Ning.
She has been looking for Lu Lingzhi for a long time. Ever since she saw him that day, he seemed to have been artificially evaporated. Her mother said that he had already explained his affairs and had probably left the imperial capital, fearing that he would never come back again.
Over the years, she had become accustomed to relying on her elder brother and letting him do everything for her. Now that he had disappeared, she felt confused and panicked, as if she had lost her backbone. She didn't know what to do next.
Zhao Yong gave her her current status, but without Lu Lingzhi, how could she be where she is today? He might have died a long time ago.
Why did the eldest brother abandon her so cruelly?
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Concubine De saw that Lu Shuang'er had been in a daze and didn't even hear what Princess Ning was saying.
Lu Shuang'er came back to her senses and raised her eyes to see Liu Qiao'er looking at her with a half-smile. She immediately became alert. Regardless of whether Lu Lingzhi was in the imperial capital or not, this was not the time for her to be sentimental and fragile. She wanted to survive in the palace. If she goes down, she must cheer up, and there is Liu Qiao'er, a bitch, to deal with.
"I feel happy and a little crazy when I see Princess Ning." Lu Shuang'er said with a smile. He glanced at everyone in the hall and was surprised to find that the eldest princess was not there. Just as he was wondering, he heard the arrival of the eldest princess from outside. the sound of.
Zhao Rao walked in with a smile, "I'm late."
"Why did the eldest princess come?" Lu Shuang'er asked with a smile.
"Something delayed me." Zhao Rao said with a slight smile on her bright face, "I'm going to take a look at Aning."
Zhao Ning has already dressed up and is wearing the princess's auspicious clothes. She is sitting upright on the bed, looking calmly ahead. She is finally leaving Qi State... What kind of fate will she have when she arrives in Jin State? , she didn’t know whether it was the right thing to do, but she was still full of expectations to be able to leave the palace of Qi State.
"Aning, are you nervous?" a soft voice next to her asked.
"A little." Zhao Ning glanced timidly at the young girl standing next to her. This was Zhao Lan. I had heard before that Princess Lan was delicate and always suffering from various illnesses. I thought it was just a dodge. Zhiyan, when I saw Zhao Lan a few days ago, I realized that she did have a bad complexion. However, although her complexion was not good, she could not hide the delicate and endearing temperament of Zhao Lan.
Zhao Ning still likes Zhao Lan in her heart, and always has the urge to protect her.
Zhao Lan gently held Zhao Ning's hand and said, "Don't be nervous. You are the princess of Qi State. Even if you marry to Jin State, no one will wrong you. If you have anything to do, just ask someone to send a message to my father. The emperor will make the decision for you."
"Yes, I know." Zhao Ning nodded with a smile. Her father told her yesterday that she would arrange some confidants for her, and she would be able to leave it to them no matter what she encounters in Jin Kingdom in the future.
She has not seen the dowry people yet, but she heard that one of them is the steward and is highly valued by her father.
Thinking of Zhao Yong's arrangements for her, Zhao Ning felt a little guilty. If he knew that she had planned the marriage with Mo Rongzhan, he would definitely be very angry.
Zhao Ning lowered his head and pursed his pink lips into a thin line.
"Aning." Zhao Rao walked in and saw that Zhao Lan was also here. The smile in her eyes was slightly cold, "Lan'er is also here."
"Sister." Zhao Lan looked slightly stern when she saw Zhao Rong, and took a few steps back and stopped talking.
Zhao Rao sat down next to Zhao Ning, "I'm leaving Qi today. I really can't bear to leave you. I've only been back for a few days and I'm leaving like this. I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future."
Hearing that Zhao Rao's tone was sincere, Zhao Ning was moved and said, "Sister, if there is a chance in the future, we will meet again."
"When you arrive in the Kingdom of Jin, you will be a concubine. Being a concubine is different from being a princess. You have to be extremely vigilant about everything. Even if you had friendship with someone in the Kingdom of Jin before, you have to weigh it yourself this time when you go back. Don't foolishly trust others. "Zhao Rao really likes Zhao Ning and is really reluctant to let her marry to the Kingdom of Jin.
Zhao Ning held Zhao Rao's hand and said, "Sister, you have taught me a lot these days, and I will remember it all."
"You can't trust everyone around you. Even the maids around you, don't think that because you have a sincere heart, others will be loyal to you. You must learn to use majesty to suppress the slaves around you to avoid being betrayed." Zhao Rao said this. At that moment, a cruel dark light flashed in his eyes.
When Zhao Lan heard this, her eyes turned red and she gave Zhao Rao a weak and pitiful look.
Zhao Ning didn't know about the grudge between their sisters, but she had heard that Concubine De was the maid of the late queen. As for why the eldest princess had such a heavy heart for Concubine De, it was no longer something she could find out.
