Chapter 507 The Plan Has Changed
Consort Liu became happier and happier as she thought about it. Others might not know, but she knew very well that the Princess of Zhenbei and Gu Yunrou were good friends.
She didn't believe that the Prince of Zhenbei and the Gu family had no connection.
On the third day after Ning Bao returned to the capital, Zhou Chengxing and Su Jingshu took her to the palace to express their gratitude.
Ning Bao was very curious as it was her first time entering the palace. The carriage from the Prince of Zhenbei's residence did not stop until it reached the inner palace.
Knowing her daughter was curious about the palace, Su Jingshu quickly asked upon seeing the waiting sedan chair,
"Ningbao, would you like to ride in a sedan chair or walk there?"
How much further?
"Does Mother feel tired?"
Su Jingshu shook her head.
“Mother is in good health; this short distance is nothing to her.”
Zhou Chengxing echoed,
"With your father here, do you think you can be afraid of tiring your mother? Don't worry, if your mother gets tired, your father will carry her on his back."
Su Jingshu blushed.
"You old rascal, this is the palace, don't talk nonsense."
Judging by the time, the morning court session shouldn't be over yet. Even if we go early, we'll probably have to wait. Let's walk there."
The family of three strolled leisurely through the palace. Consort Liu, who had originally planned to tamper with the sedan chair to embarrass Su Jingshu and her daughter, was so angry when she heard that they weren't riding in a sedan chair that she tore off several of her nail guards.
Since the death of the former empress, no new empress has been appointed in the palace.
The inner palace had always been controlled by Consort Liu, and Ningbao and her entourage were to meet the Emperor and Consort Liu today.
When Ningbao and her family of three arrived, the Emperor had just finished his morning court session and Consort Liu happened to walk over as well.
After the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine were seated in their superior positions, Ningbao's family respectfully stepped forward to pay their respects.
Consort Liu, who originally intended to find fault with Ningbao's etiquette, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw Ningbao's elegant and standard manners.
She originally thought that a princess who grew up in the countryside would definitely not know any rules or etiquette.
In fact, she completely forgot that although Ning Bao had grown up in the countryside all these years, she had always had Su Jingshu, the Princess Consort of Zhenbei, by her side.
As a proper princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Ning Bao could not possibly not return to the capital. She had not missed a single thing that noble ladies of wealthy families should learn, such as etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
To be honest, apart from writing, which has always been a major challenge for Ningbao, he has always learned everything else very quickly.
Although Consort Liu could find no fault with Ning Bao's manners and etiquette, she simply couldn't stand Ning Bao's beautiful face.
"Oh, is this Princess Ning?"
"The Prince and Princess of Zhenbei are truly blessed. Who would have thought that Princess Ning, whom you've kept hidden in the countryside and unwilling to let her show herself, would be so beautiful?"
Su Jingshu was about to step forward to speak on Ningbao's behalf when Ningbao gently pulled her aside, then stepped forward herself and respectfully bowed to Consort Liu.
"May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace. Your humble daughter, Zhou Wanning, thanks Your Highness for your praise."
Ning Bao stood there upright, neither humble nor arrogant, and slightly raised her eyes to glance at Consort Liu...................
Oh my god!
That imperial concubine is truly ruthless!
She was surrounded by many wronged souls, it seems that her position as a concubine was indeed built on the sacrifice of human lives.
......................
A trip to the palace made Ning Bao truly realize the terrifying power of authority, and she became much more silent on the way back.
Zhou Chengxing couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter when he saw that she was in a bad mood.
