Chapter 556 You Want to Be the Emperor?
Li Ying and Wang Xiaoyan nodded helplessly after hearing Ning Bao's words.
"Wan Ning, be careful."
Don't worry about us, we will be careful.
Furthermore, our father's official position is low and he doesn't have much real power, so he basically won't attract anyone's attention. If there's really danger, we'll listen to you and use the invisibility talisman.
.........................
Seeing that some palace servants were looking over, Ning Bao quickly pretended that she was not familiar with Li Ying and Wang Xiaoyan, and walked to the other side.
Liu Xiulan, who happened to be walking over, glanced at Wang Xiaoyan and Li Ying behind Ning Bao, then subtly took a step to the side, blocking Liu Xiulan's view.
Liu Xiulan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh! Princess Ning, who are you protecting?"
Ning Bao feigned confusion and followed Liu Xiulan's gaze forward.
Who is it?
Everyone here today is here to attend the palace banquet hosted by Consort Liu.
All the ladies and young women are the mistresses and young ladies of their respective households, and are all people of great importance.
Besides, the palace banquet was held by imperial decree personally issued by Consort Liu, so how could there be any danger?
The Third Prince's Consort, why do you need to worry about safety when attending the Imperial Concubine's banquet? Could it be that there is some purpose behind today's banquet?
Or is there some danger?
Why don't you come and talk to us about it, so we can take precautions in advance?
Liu Xiulan paused for a moment and glared at Ning Bao.
"Zhou Wanning, don't talk nonsense. When did I say that the palace banquet was in danger?"
"No?" Ning Bao looked at Liu Xiulan with an innocent expression.
"The Third Prince's Consort just said that I, the Princess, should protect others. If there is no danger at this palace banquet, why should I, the Princess, protect others?"
Besides, everyone knows that I come from the countryside.
Aside from my mother, Aunt Gu, and the Third Prince's wife, I don't seem to know anyone else at this palace banquet.
Third Prince's Consort, we are quite destined to be together.
If there is any danger at this palace banquet, you must tell us. We've known each other for a while, so we can be considered friends.
Whether a good friend or a bad friend, they're still a friend.
"Zhou Wanning, don't talk nonsense. There's no danger at the palace banquet." Liu Xiulan stomped her foot after saying that and walked away angrily.
Liu Xiulan is a bit reckless, but she's neither stupid nor foolish.
She was acutely aware of how important today was.
If she succeeds, she will be the Empress, second only to the Emperor.
If they fail, the entire Liu family and all those connected to them will face utter ruin, their property confiscated, and they will be executed.
Therefore, this matter must succeed today; it cannot fail.
She almost got tricked into revealing something because she spoke too quickly.
Liu Xiulan was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
If he accidentally lets something slip and exposes it, things won't go smoothly and successfully.
Then she would be a sinner to the Liu family, and no one, whether it was her father, Consort Liu, or the Third Prince, would let her go.
The consequences of failure were not something a woman from the backyard could bear.
Therefore, although Liu Xiulan was willful, she did not dare to act recklessly.
Ning Bao looked at Liu Xiulan, who was fleeing in disarray, and felt that she had become quite worldly after marrying the Third Prince. She couldn't help but sneer.
Oh!
It seems the rumors were true; the Third Prince's backyard is full of surprises every day.
Although Ningbao was not in the capital for the past few days, she had two lively little girls, Leng Xue and Leng Wu, with her.
They could basically tell you about everything that happened, big or small, in the backyards of every household in the capital.
