Sister-in-law? Situ Xunxiao was obviously very pleased with this title. There was a hint of tenderness on his indifferent face. "Since you are already here, let's have dinner together tonight before leaving."

The two smiled at each other and then started talking about other things in the study.

In the bedroom of Yunxiao Courtyard, Ningshuang also came to convey Situ Xunxiao's message.

"Princess, the prince just sent someone to say that a distinguished guest will be arriving tonight, and you are required to dine with him. Please make preparations in advance." Ningshuang's quiet little face was full of respect as she replied to Zongzheng Xiaoting.

"Distinguished guest?" A hint of curiosity flashed across Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes. "Do you know what kind of distinguished guest it is?"

Ningshuang shook her head slowly. "The prince has been discussing matters with someone in the study. I have never seen who it is, and I have no way to find out, let alone dare to find out. Princess, do you want me to find out?"

"That's not necessary. You did a good job. There are some things in Prince Zhan's Mansion that we shouldn't ask about. Knowing them won't be a good thing for us. Besides, we will meet tonight. It doesn't matter whether we ask or not." Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved his hand and praised Ning Shuang.

"Yes, Princess."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lazily leaned on the couch, glanced at Qingqing and Ningshuang, and then slowly said, "You two should sit down. I have something to tell you."

"Yes!" Two voices sounded at the same time, and then they found a wooden stool and moved to the side of Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Seeing the two people's cleverness, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could not help but nod in satisfaction. She scanned the two people with her beautiful eyes before speaking slowly. "I was so tired that I fell asleep yesterday. I must have not had time to make many arrangements. You two are like my eyes in the Zhan Palace. Although my father has given me many guards, they are no match for you two confidants. So in the days to come, you two will have to bear a lot of responsibilities."

"As long as I can do it for the princess, Qingqing won't feel any burden."

"Ningshuang is also willing to serve the princess. No matter how difficult or difficult it is, Ningshuang is not afraid at all."

The two's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile deepen. "This way, I can rest assured. You should also know that on the way to the marriage, whether it is a killer or something else, these dangers are hinting that someone can't tolerate us. So in this Yunguang Kingdom, when our foundation is not yet solid, our journey will only be more difficult. Although this is the palace we entered yesterday, the time is a little short, but I think there must be many things worth your observation. Have you noticed anything different?"

"This..." Ning Shuang hesitated for a long time, her pretty eyebrows knitted tightly, "It's not a big deal, but there are many people and things in the Zhan Palace who are tight-lipped. It's impossible to get any information from anyone. But it's precisely because of this that it seems unusual!"

Ling Shuang's words made Zong Zheng Xiao Ting nod his head. Yes, everyone has things that they cannot hide. Even in the strict imperial palace backyard, or even in places where the emperor has been ordered not to reveal anything, they can more or less find out some clues. Uh, not being able to find out anything is actually the most terrifying thing. Ning Shuang's feeling can only prove that her observation and insight are very sharp.

"My mother gave you to me for a reason. You are really smart and can help me." Zong Zheng Xiaoting praised Ning Shuang with a happy face. This time, she didn't treat her coldly or with both kindness and force as she did in the palace before. She just praised her purely. Because of this, Ning Shuang couldn't help but show a happy look on her face.

"I just felt that, despite the buzz in Prince Zhan's mansion about how much the prince values ​​you, the princess, yet no one was able to get anything out of you, that made me alert." Ningshuang said this in an attempt to distance herself from her excessive meticulousness, but Zongzheng Xiaoting had a different feeling when he heard it.

She thought of the deal that Situ Xunxiao had talked about with her. If everything he said was true, then naturally, no matter how he behaved, his subordinates would still keep their mouths shut, without any hints or instructions from him. And now, everyone in the entire Zhan Wang Mansion kept their mouths shut. They must have been shocked by his majesty in the past, but more importantly, they must have received a very scary warning to be so unanimous.

But Zong Zheng Xiaoting was too smart at this time. She had never experienced the struggles among the royal family and the days of being looked down upon. So she naturally forgot what kind of life Situ Xunxiao had experienced. Everyone in the Zhan Wang Mansion kept their mouths shut and dared not gossip about him. It was not what she thought.

At this moment, everyone in the palace knew that this princess was the future princess consort, and she was the princess that the prince valued and loved very much. But they also kept in mind what happened to them after someone accidentally leaked the news. It was also because of the previous killing of the chicken to scare the monkey that naturally no one in the palace would break the prince's rules just because she was the most favored princess.

"No matter what, we must be extra careful these days." Zong Zheng Xiaoting took a sip of tea and then continued, "Yesterday, I went to the palace. The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, or the Emperor's concubines and princesses are all very troublesome. I'm afraid the one who can't tolerate me the most must be one of them, or all of them."

"Then isn't the princess' situation precarious?" Qingqing's tone was a little nervous.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled when he heard that, and blinked at the two worried eyes, "How can I be a person who can be bullied by others? Moreover, me and the prince are not someone who can be bullied at will. If they keep pressing on, don't blame me for turning Yunguang Kingdom upside down."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Ning Shuang's eyes light up. She whispered with a little smile, "The princess is not someone who can be bullied by others. We servants will also be able to let go and do something for the princess and win face for ourselves!"

Seeing Ning Shuang speaking with confidence and pride, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was also a little happy. He always liked this kind of confident woman, but unfortunately, in this place, the feudal ethics made women's confidence, no matter how confident they were, it was just a false impression based on their power and status. It was rare to have true confidence from the heart. At this moment, Ning Shuang showed the kind of confidence that came from the heart, and also revealed ambition.

"Ning Shuang today has indeed impressed me."

"To reply Princess, I have actually always hoped to have my own thoughts and achievements, but I am constrained by..." Ningshuang did not finish her words and just lowered her head slightly.

Although she didn't know why she had suffered the loss before, she could vaguely feel that the princess could guess whether she was true or false. It was because of this that what she showed at this moment was indeed some of her inner emotions. So she took this opportunity to go with the flow. Whether she could win the princess's trust, she could only take a gamble.
