“Enter the palace? I…”
Su Ning blushed once more.
She didn’t know how to respond.
If it were anyone else in the palace, she would naturally refuse. If it were the Third Prince, she would unquestionably be willing.
However, this was her secret, and she couldn’t reveal it to Third Sister-in-law.
Qin Zhenzhen’s heart skipped a beat. She truly missed the Third Prince!
“Sigh, truthfully, your third brother and I were concerned that an imperial edict might arrive, specifically summoning you to enter the palace. We wouldn’t even have the chance to decline.”
Su Ning fell silent for a moment before stating firmly, “There won’t be an imperial edict summoning me to the palace now.” Qin Zhenzhen then questioned her, “How can you be so sure?” “Because the Emperor is only three years old.”
Qin Zhenzhen followed up, “What if the emperor changes?”
Su Ning gazed at Qin Zhenzhen in astonishment. “Will there be a new emperor soon?”
Qin Zhenzhen affirmed, “Yes, it will happen soon!”
Su Ning visibly tensed.
Qin Zhenzhen decided to startle her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t reveal the truth.
“I presume you’ve heard the rumors on the streets. Lord State Duke is currently holding the emperor hostage to control the realm. Soon, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor.”
“If he succeeds, the new emperor will ascend the throne. The first order of business will be to grant amnesty to the realm. The second will be to organize a beauty pageant in the palace.”
“What if you are selected?”
“Lord State Duke is nearly seventy years old.”
Su Ning’s expression soured, but she muttered in a low voice, “Lord State Duke can’t possibly become the emperor!”
“If it were the emperor, it would undoubtedly be the Third Prince!”
What more did Qin Zhenzhen need to comprehend?
Directly, she inquired of Su Ning, “Do you have feelings for the Third Prince?”
Su Ning’s face turned crimson, and she remained silent. Qin Zhenzhen scowled. “How did you end up falling for him?” As if she would admit it!
No wonder she adamantly opposed the engagement.
Su Ning questioned her, “Why? Isn’t the Third Prince worth liking?”
At the mention of the Third Prince, Su Ning’s eyes sparkled.
Qin Zhenzhen sighed. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t prevent Su Ning from falling for the Third Prince.
“If the Third Prince becomes the emperor and selects you to enter the palace, would you be willing to go?”
Surprisingly, Su Ning nodded with unwavering certainty.
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “You can’t go!”
“The imperial harem is a treacherous place. You’re pure and not suited for such an environment. We wouldn’t feel at ease sending you there!”
Su Ning whispered, “Third Sister-in-law, I understand, but I’m not afraid. I’m not foolish enough not to realize if someone is plotting against me. Besides, I’ll be fine with someone protecting me.”
Qin Zhenzhen wanted to chuckle, but she refrained. Where did Su Ning find such confidence?
“Someone is protecting you? Don’t be naive!”
“The emperor has a harem of 3,000 beauties. Can he protect them all? He can’t even remember the names of those women!”
Su Ning blushed. “If he wants me to enter the palace, he will definitely protect me!”
“Where are you getting this confidence?”
Su Ning remained steadfast. “In any case, I believe in him!”
Qin Zhenzhen suddenly sensed something amiss. Looking at Su Ning, could it
She probed, “Have you been in contact with the Third Prince recently?”
Su Ning honestly admitted, “Yes.” She had indeed guessed correctly!
“Did you meet him?”
“Yes, in Ye City, he came to find me once. We talked for a while. It seemed like he wanted to convey something important to me, but he didn’t in the end. Instead, he asked, ‘Are you willing to wait for me?”‘
Su Ning was momentarily stunned and didn’t comprehend what the Third Prince meant. However, when she encountered the Third Prince’s gentle gaze, she blushed instantly and understood his intentions.
Yet, she didn’t forget to inform the Third Prince of her willingness!
“I see.”
So, the Third Prince had confessed to Su Ning first..
