Chapter 202 – The Old Madam is from a Scholarly Family (part 16) 

Prince Kang and Princess Kang looked at their daughter with approval. “Ning’er is right. It’s long overdue.” They were also dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. They didn’t know if she had done something to their son, otherwise, with so many noble women, how could their son choose her?! 

Jinlin walked in angrily looking like she was just about to have a seizure, when she suddenly remembered the secret letter sent by her eldest sister. She suppressed her anger, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly her eyes were full of tears. “Brother Qing, when you asked do you remember what you said when you proposed to me?” 

Zhao Zongqing felt distressed. This was the first time he saw Jinlin cry. In his memory, Jinlin was always noble and beautiful, and seldom cried. Even though the country of Xiluo was in civil strife when they met in her last life, she never cried. 

“Don’t cry, I remember. I remember all of it. I said that I would be good to you all my life.” Zhao Zongqing quickly stepped forward, put his arms around Jinlin, and wiped away her tears. 

Prince Kang and the princess frowned. Disgusting. 

However, Zhao Shuning sneered. “Yo, is this a sudden change of nature and gentleness, or do you know about the rebellion of the Emperor of Xiluo? Your country of Xiluo is thousands of miles away from the capital of Daqi, and you are so well-informed!” 

As soon as those words came out, everyone’s expressions changed. 

Prince Kang nervously looked at Jinlin and then at his daughter. “Ning’er, what’s going on?” Prince Kang liked extravagance and enjoyment, and had no ambitions. As long as he could continue to enjoy himself, nothing else mattered. He didn’t care when his eldest daughter was taken into the palace to raise, and he didn’t care that she didn’t return for a few years. 

What he was the most afraid of was being implicated and being unable to continue enjoying himself. 

Princess Kang was a little better than Prince Kang. She was a self-motivated woman. But, she wasn’t self-motivated with such a husband. Fortunately, her son and daughter were in good spirits, and her position was also very stable. 

“Ning’er, how did you know?” 

“Yesterday, emperor uncle invited me to the palace to accompany him for dinner. I heard it with my own ears. Princess Jinlin, you are very well-informed. It was only one day slower than the eight hundred mile urgent message of the Ministry of War.” Zhao Shuning looked at princess Jinlin’s pale face and she angrily said, “Tell me, what are you and Queen Xiluo trying to do? Since you are married into Daqi, you are now a person of Daqi. Although Xiluo is your home country, you need to have a sense of propriety. What is your intention with such a collusion?” 

Zhao Zongqing’s expression also changed. It was not a surprise that Xiluo’s civil unrest happened a few years in advance. With his changes, many things had changed. What surprised him was Jinlin’s reaction! 

Was it really like what eldest sister said, that Jinlin and Queen Xiluo had been secretly keeping in touch? So, what news did she send back? What was the purpose of her marrying him? Was it not because of love? 

Zhao Zongqing was unwilling to continue imagining and he did not dare to think about it any further.  

Jinlin forced a smile. “I don’t know what the princess is talking about?” She couldn’t admit it. She couldn’t. 

“Whether you admit it or not, the fact is that it has already happened. Uncle emperor has his own ideas about the civil unrest in Xiluo. Younger bro, you don’t say much, but you should take the initiative to avoid suspicion! To avoid being gossiped about! Your mother and father only have one son, you. I only have you as a younger brother. You are a prince of Prince Kang’s Mansion! Younger bro, you have to remember that the most important thing for you right now is to have heirs. The eldest prince is only five years older than you and he is already the father of six children!” Zhao Shuning said. 

Although she grew up without her parents, her grandmother and emperor uncle were also very kind to her, but her blood relationship could not be changed. After growing up, Zhao Shuning still preferred her biological parents. Sometimes, she even wondered, if she was raised by her parents, would she have had more siblings? 

When Jinlin heard this, she immediately looked at Zhao Zongqing nervously. The situation in her mother country was critical. What she and her older sister were most afraid of was if Daqi chose to sit on the sidelines and watch the infighting at this time, then only intervene when the internal fighting was over. For this reason, her mother country would be crippled and it would take many years to recover. 

Thinking of this, Jinlin couldn’t help but have regrets. If she had known this, then she should have abandoned her arrogance and lowered her noble head to please these people. Now that it was like this, they should speak for her mother country! 

Jinlin also knew that in this palace, the only person she could rely on was her husband. Since her husband was so committed to her, she was very confident. 

Therefore, Jinlin was not very flustered at this time. She just looked at Zhao Zongqing with tears in her eyes. “Brother Qing, you can’t ignore Xiluo. No matter what, it is my home country! My eldest sister and I have been dependent on each other since childhood. If anything happens to her, I don’t want to live anymore.” 

“Then you can sacrifice yourself for the country,” Zhao Shuning said lightly. “If you are so resolute, then this county princess still admires you a little bit. But, I’m afraid you are just saying things.”  

“You!” Jin Lin glared angrily.  

Zhao Shuning gave her a provocative smile! 

“Eldest sister!” Zhao Zongqing was very confused. Many things went beyond his imagination. On the one hand, he didn’t want to doubt Jinlin’s intentions to be with him, but on the other hand, he was also awakened by the words of the eldest sister. 

In his last life, when he met Jinlin, there was internal turmoil in Xiluo. Under Daqi’s indifference, although the country of Xiluo finally suppressed the rebellion, its national strength was severely decreased. 

Every time he saw Jinlin crying in the direction of her mother country, he would unconsciously think about it for her. Because of his love for her, she didn’t have to say anything. He did everything for her. In court, he had been fighting for the country of Xiluo. 

At that time, Jinlin was not as arrogant as she was now. She had a good relationship with his mother and father. Even the empress dowager praised her repeatedly. At that time, because of Jinlin, the entire royal family was very friendly towards the country of Xiluo. 

Under such circumstances, the country of Xiluo, which originally took 20 years or more to recover, regained its national strength in just 10 years. 

As the heir of Prince Kang’s mansion, the education he received since he was a child, coupled with the experience of reincarnation, meant that he was not a fool. Maybe he was really blindsided before. In his previous life, the love between him and Jinlin was based on the fact that the country of Xiluo had to rely on Daqi. 

In this life, they met and fell in love earlier. At this time, although Xiluo was still a vassal of Daqi, its national strength was still good. Jinlin naturally could maintain the pride of a princess of her country. Now that the news of the civil unrest in Xiluo had arrived, Jinlin would have this change! 

Zhao Shuning stood up, walked to Zhao Zongqing’s side, and pulled him to sit beside her. “Younger bro, listen to eldest sister. Regarding the matters of the country of Xiluo, emperor uncle and the ministers in the court have their own decisions. You can’t interfere. It should be noted that although emperor uncle is our uncle, he is still the emperor. As the heir of Prince Kang, you must be careful.” 

Jinlin had meant to sit back and watch, but when she heard this, she was anxious. She ran over and took Zhao Zongqing’s hand. “Brother Qing, you can’t ignore it! You need to go to the emperor and lead troops to suppress the rebellion. I’ll go back with you. Let’s go back together. Save my older sis! Brother Qing!” 

Zhao Zongqing waved Jinlin’s hand away with difficulty. “Xiluo is a subordinate country of Daqi. Daqi will naturally not idly sit by and will send troops to quell the rebellion. It’s just that the matter of when to send troops and who to lead them are not decisions that you and I can make. The emperor will make a decision!” 

Jinlin’s eyes widened. “Zhao Zongqing!”  

Zhao Shuning slapped her unceremoniously. “You can call my younger bro’s name too?”  

The maids who were brought to Daqi by Jinlin were shocked and angry when they saw their princess being beaten. They immediately drew their swords and surrounded them. 

Little did they know that this was Daqi – Prince Kang’s mansion and Zhao Shuning’s home. The guards around them were seasoned fighters, so they surrounded the maids, removed their swords, and tied them up. 

“You dare to draw a sword in front of the prince, the princess and the county princess. You people from Xiluo have such good manners! Escort them away and deal with them on behalf of this county princess. Ensure that the people around the eldest prince’s consort are checked one by one. No collusion is allowed. The news coming into the manner, and the rebellious behaviour from today are not allowed to happen again,” Zhao Shuning said as she gave Jinlin a proud look. 

“Yes! The county princess!” The guards escorted the people down without saying another word. 

Jinlin only saw them for a short moment before her confidant was sent to the **. She might not be able to keep the rest! These were the people that her older sis gave her. These were the people who were responsible for protecting her and helping her keep in touch with Xiluo. If they disappeared like this, then wouldn’t she be even more isolated and helpless in Daqi in the future? She would not be able to know about Xiluo’s situation!  

“You dare! I am the princess of Xiluo. If you dare to touch the people around me, are you not afraid of causing the two countries…” As soon as Jinlin said this, she remembered the current situation in her mother country. She was afraid that nobody would care about these little things. 

Zhao Shuning looked at Jinlin’s face pale instantly, and her heart was very happy. How dare a princess of a small affiliated country be arrogant in front of her! 

“The eldest prince’s consort’s health is not good. Please go back to Fragrant Orchid Garden to recuperate. She is not allowed to go out and move around until her body recovers. Wet Nurse Liu, the eldest prince’s consort has been married into Prince Kang’s mansion for several years, and she has always lacked etiquette. Wet Nurse Liu, you are a person by imperial grandmother’s side, so you will be responsible for teaching the princess in the future. Next year is imperial grandmother’s sixtieth birthday, and imperial grandmother will definitely be happy to see a new granddaughter-in-law,” Zhao Shuning said proudly. 

A maid with a stern face behind her took a step forward. “This maid will carry out the orders. Please rest assured.”  

Prince Kang and princess Kang glanced at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes. They were not dissatisfied with their daughter’s overstepping. They had long disliked Jinlin. She was only a princess of a vassal state and was so proud! 

When Jinlin saw Wet Nurse Liu’s vicious eyes, she knew that this person would not be easy to mess with. She quickly looked at Zhao Zongqing. “Zhao Zongqing, am I your wife? What did you say when you asked me to marry you? When we left Xiluo, what did you promise my older sis? Did you forget all about it? Are you really okay with watching these people humiliate me?” 

Zhao Zongqing’s heart was in a mess at this time. He didn’t dare to look into Jinlin’s eyes. “Eldest sister is doing this for your own good. Jinlin, you have to remember that from the moment you married me, you were no longer Xiluo’s princess, but the princess consort of Prince Kang’s Mansion!” Zhao Zongqing said with increasing confidence until he finally dared to meet Jinlin’s gaze.
