Chapter 381 Curious Noble Ladies
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They never expected that Zhao Ning would go to the palace to attend a banquet so soon after waking up, and that it was for the sake of Prince Ning.
Could it be...
Unwilling to accept it? After all, when Zhao Ning was unconscious, Prince Ning was the first to abandon her.
It's really hateful.
The noble ladies all showed indignation on their faces, and looked at Zhao Ning with even more pity.
A cacophony of words of comfort.
"Princess, don't even think about it. I saw through that kind of unrighteous man long ago, so I'm free from him sooner rather than later."
"Exactly, it's fortunate that we knew his true colors before marriage. If we had only found out he was such a scoundrel after we got married, we would have really suffered."
“Prince Ning is just a high-ranking official, but he’s actually just a country bumpkin. It’s no big deal that the engagement is broken off! Ningning, you will definitely meet your ideal husband in the future.”
“Yes, I heard that even though Young Master Feng was injured, he still visits you every day. This shows how much he cares for you. Princess, you might as well consider him.”
Everyone said something to me.
But Zhao Ning was too weak to walk straight and was panting heavily. By the time she came to her senses, she hadn't even noticed what they were saying. Even if she had, she didn't have the strength to argue.
He then asked, "I have something to say to him, have you seen him?"
The noble ladies stopped trying to persuade them, and a kind young woman pointed to a tree not far away.
"I just saw His Highness Prince Ning heading in that direction."
Zhao Ning said thank you, and then had the maids help her over.
The noble ladies couldn't help but sigh at the sight.
"I had heard before that Princess Zhao Ning did not like His Highness Prince Ning, but now it seems that this is not the case?"
"I don't think it's about liking someone, I just want an answer."
"Yes, if someone wronged me like this, even if I don't care, I would still want to know the truth."
Curious, everyone secretly followed Zhao Ning, wanting to see if she was heartbroken and desperate, or simply wanted to know why.
Zhao Ning was helped over and indeed saw Prince Ning standing under the tree in a daze. She then dismissed the maid and walked over herself.
She was very weak and unsteady on her feet, while Prince Ning, who was skilled in martial arts and investigation, had better hearing than most people and turned around immediately upon hearing a noise.
Upon seeing that it was her, they quickly came forward to help her up.
"You only woke up yesterday, how come you're out today?"
Zhao Ning, panting, said, "I...have something...to ask you."
Prince Ning frowned: "If there's anything, just let someone know later, and I'll come to the residence."
The curiosity of those hiding behind them grew even stronger.
Judging from Prince Ning's appearance, he doesn't seem to want to get rid of Zhao Ning. Could it be that he heard Zhao Ning has woken up and wants to reconcile with him?
But it didn't seem like it either; the two of them didn't seem to have any affection for each other, but rather seemed like old friends of many years.
Zhao Ning waved her hand: "I can't wait. If it weren't for my mother's permission, I would have gone to find you last night."
Prince Ning had no choice but to help her to a nearby bench.
Looking up, he saw so many people peering out from behind the tree, and he felt even more helpless.
Seeing this, Zhao Ning grabbed Prince Ning's arm: "Come on, let's find a secluded place."
The group that had been discovered were embarrassed and even more embarrassed to continue following. They could only watch as Prince Ning carefully helped Zhao Ning walk away.
Once they reached a secluded spot and saw that no one was around, Zhao Ning immediately asked, "You were in such a hurry to break off the engagement with me because of Si Mutong, right?"
"What?" Prince Ning was taken aback, then shook his head. "No, that's not it."
"I don't believe it!" Zhao Ning said. "You like her!"
Prince Ning turned his head away from her, only emphasizing: "The matter of breaking off the engagement has nothing to do with Miss Si. County Princess, you must not ruin someone else's reputation."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you sound like an old scholar right off the bat." Zhao Ning said with a sneer, "If you don't dare to answer directly, then it's true. I knew it a long time ago that you like her!"
Prince Ning felt uncomfortable, so he told her to sit down and take half a step back before saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll have your maid come over."
"Don't go! I'm here to help you, not to hurt you. Judging from your expression, did Si Mutong reject you? You seem to be having a rough time in love."
Prince Ning said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhao Ning said this and felt a little dizzy. After calming down a bit, he saw that Prince Ning was still in front of him and knew that he was pretending to be indifferent, but was actually very nervous.
She laughed and said, "I think you two are a match made in heaven, but as a man, you should take the initiative."
Prince Ning pursed his lips. He had only learned the truth a few days ago, and his mind was in turmoil, with no one to confide in or find answers. Now that Zhao Ning had asked, he found himself unconsciously wanting to ask for the solution.
"I... don't want to use my power to oppress her. But perhaps, because of what I've done, she's completely disheartened, and there's no possibility of her turning back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ning immediately felt that there was hope.
"So you like her! And you even made the first move?"
Prince Ning did not reveal the truth, but nodded vaguely: "I suppose so."
Zhao Ning suddenly stood up, almost losing his balance, but fortunately Prince Ning caught him.
She clapped her hands and laughed: "Let me tell you, you're just too clueless. You don't know anything about how to pursue a girl. Just because she hasn't opened her heart to you yet doesn't mean it will always be like this. As long as you put your heart into it, use your true love, and take the initiative to win her over and cherish her!"
Prince Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Then... what should I do?"
Zhao Ning said, "Now that she's on duty at your Dali Temple, you should definitely spend more time with her. Girls love being favored and treated differently, so you need to make her feel that way."
"Favoritism, or exceptions?"
Meanwhile, Zhao Ning's two maids stood still, while the noble ladies watched from a distance nearby, unable to see clearly or know what Zhao Ning was saying to Prince Ning.
Feng Zizhou limped over and asked, "Where is Zhao Ning?"
The two maids hesitated for a moment, then pointed in the direction of Zhao Ning and Prince Ning.
"How could she do this? She just recovered and then..." Feng Zizhou was furious and limped quickly toward Zhao Ning.
The noble ladies were once again in an uproar.
"What's going on? My God, is this a scene of carnage?"
"That's right, the reason why Young Master Feng is so angry is definitely because Princess Zhao Ning took the initiative to invite Prince Ning."
"Anyone would be angry. He stayed with Princess Zhao Ning for over a month, and after everyone finally woke up, the first thing the princess did wasn't to express gratitude to the person who had taken care of and accompanied her, but to run to see Prince Ning!"
Everyone marveled at the scene, but they were also curious about how Feng Zizhou would treat Zhao Ning, whether Prince Ning would protect Zhao Ning, and what Zhao Ning would ultimately choose.
Feng Zizhou found Zhao Ning, but because he was in such a hurry, he touched his injured leg, winced in pain, lost his balance, and fell forward.
Prince Ning supported Zhao Ning with one hand and quickly reached out to help Feng Zizhou with the other.
"You two are really something. One of you just recovered from an illness, and the other has a leg injury. What are you doing out here?"
Feng Zizhou muttered, "I'm fine, it's Zhao Ning who ran around. You're already so weak, you should be resting, what were you doing running around?"
Zhao Ning wasn't one to take things lying down, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Mind your own business?"
