"I worry that if Chenchen continues like this, she will anger Your Majesty and Lady Li, and it won’t end well." Late at night, Ning Family was talking to Cui Yu.

"Master, Chenchen is our daughter, is there really no other way?" She asked with a pleading face.

Cui Yu’s expression was indifferent: "The truth of this matter cannot be disclosed to her, madam. With her temperament, if she knows the truth, it’ll be disastrous. It’ll surely blow up, and the Royal Family will lose face. As her father, I would be at my wit’s end as well. Of course, Your Majesty will not allow her to cause trouble, and would handle the situation beforehand. What will happen to her is unpredictable."

"I..." Ning Family hesitated and said, "I never thought of revealing the truth, I only plan to find an opportunity to advise her a bit. On the surface, after all, she was raised in the Cui Family, so indirectly advising her should work."

Cui Yu simply laughed: "Madam, persuading her may not necessarily mean she will listen."

Hearing this, Cui Yu did not stop her, Ning Family said: "I have to at least try to persuade her, otherwise I’ll feel uneasy. If she changes, a lifetime of peace and stability is still possible, right, master."

Cui Yu didn’t say anything, nor did he oppose her.

Whether there can be peace depends on Your Majesty. Your Majesty hasn’t dealt with his unruly daughter out of consideration for me, just praying she doesn’t cause more trouble. If she really bullies the true princess again, Your Majesty will seize the opportunity to deal with her sooner or later.

Lest she causes more trouble, it won’t end well, dragging down the Cui Family. He would prefer she settle down earlier, in whatever form that may be.

The last time the forces from the east came to assassinate her, if they had succeeded, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now.

In the Imperial Palace, Song Chong dismissed his attendants and was also discussing Ah Chen’s situation with Consort Li.

"What is she to dare to bully Jing’er like this," Consort Li cried, her eyes red with anger, "Your Majesty, is there no way? Are we just letting her bully Jing’er like this? As long as she holds the identity of the Ninth Princess, I’m afraid she won’t let Jing’er go. Jing’er looked so upset just now."

Song Chong was also very angry, frowning: "Currently, we indeed cannot do anything to her openly unless she commits an offense."

Consort Li pursed her lips lightly, then let’s do it covertly. Didn’t we hear before that the forces from the east wanted to kill her? Why didn’t they succeed? In the past, to protect Jing’er, she managed to become this Ninth Princess. Now, she actually takes this opportunity to bully Jing’er, it’s too much.

Of course, she didn’t dare to say this directly.

Some methods can be used in private, but cannot be expressed openly in front of Your Majesty.

"Seeing Jing’er being bullied like this, I truly wish she had been killed by the forces from the east," Consort Li cried, "Even if there are sins, come find me, I will bear this responsibility, as long as Jing’er can be happy, I am satisfied."

This grievance from Consort Li indeed provided Song Chong with an idea.

Through today’s interaction, he is really quite annoyed with Cui Chen.

His eyes slightly narrowed; if Cui Chen continues being unreasonable, he will not hesitate to use other means.

Let’s wait and see.

But Consort Li couldn’t wait, the next day she sent word to her family, asking them to arrange for an opportunity to assassinate Ah Chen when she leaves the palace. Meanwhile, she found a way to plant someone by Ah Chen’s side, if assassination fails, then use poison.

She understood that only if Cui Chen is dead, her daughter can be safe and happy.

A few days later, Ah Chen was given the title An Ning. The meaning is good, with no flaws to be found, but Ah Chen thought Song Chong probably didn’t see it that way.

What Song Chong most likely wants is for her to be more settled, but this is just what the other party thinks, he wouldn’t dare express it.

"I never noticed before, but now I realize this Emperor of Nan Qi is quite useless," said Hong Zhu impulsively, "Thinking back, he has always been like this, only acting mighty towards little figures like us, an insurmountable mountain."

Lu Zhu shook her head lightly and smiled: "Your courage is getting bigger, now you dare to speak ill of the Emperor of Nan Qi."

"With Your Majesty by our side, what’s there to fear? Besides, the Emperor of Nan Qi is very useless, is he not? He can show his uselessness, but we can’t talk about it? If he has the ability, he wouldn’t be so useless."

At this point, Hong Zhu scoffed: "Everyone says Bei Qi raises slaves for people’s amusement and humiliation, although it’s not popular in Nan Qi, how many palace maids like us have been sent to Bei Qi to be humiliated before?"

Bei Qi sees these as honors, the people Nan Qi sent before were all recorded, and among those sent before us, few had good fates.

Lu Zhu replied this time: "That is true."

In fact, according to the situation in Nan Qi, it shouldn’t be impossible to fight with Bei Qi, but their knees are soft, they can’t even stand up, so we don’t expect them to resist. They find it worthwhile to exchange some people and wealth for peace. Little did they know, if they were braver, Bei Qi wouldn’t be able to do much. Nan Qi doesn’t dare to fight, Bei Qi doesn’t dare even more.

Since Canglan Country was established, there were many troubles in the first two years, they watched as Your Majesty gradually corrected those issues bit by bit. Especially the army of Canglan Country, outsiders only know they are strong, but not just how strong they truly are.

Be it Nan Qi or eastern forces, just wait and see.

This world will surely be unified and peace will prevail.

Like Mr. Fan, they also look forward to a prosperous era. Though Your Majesty never described what her prosperous era looks like, from their gradually improving days, they seem to be able to imagine it.

Lu Zhu came back to her senses and brought the letter to Ah Chen: "It’s from Mr. Fan."

Ah Chen opened it and glanced, it was just reporting the situation in Canglan Country, nothing major.

And asking her when she would return, this was mentioned in every letter.

She wouldn’t play the role of a princess here, so she didn’t let Song Chong renovate a new Princess Mansion, just chose an empty mansion in the Capital City, refurbished it, and soon moved in.

This place is not far from Cui Jing’s mansion, just a street away.

Recently, Ah Chen would often appear in Song Chong and Consort Li’s view, even if they smiled on the surface, inside they must be very annoyed with her. However, she was merely a bit willful, said some arrogant words, and did no real harm, on the surface, they truly couldn’t do anything to her.

It felt like they were about to lose their patience.

Really strange. They could endure Bei Qi for so long, even when Bei Qi is riding on their heads, but couldn’t endure a few words from her.

Really boring.

This day, in the Princess Mansion, Ah Chen heard from Hong Zhu that Ning Family wanted to see her.

Before even meeting, Ah Chen had already guessed the other party’s intention, in the Commissioner’s memory, the other party did indeed persuade the Commissioner to be more settled, not to make trouble again.

The Commissioner, who didn’t know the truth, felt Ning Family had no right and was somewhat annoyed.

Later on, knowing the truth, it felt even more ironic.

Did Ning Family not understand that merely persuading by words without any action would have no effect, and might even provoke further defiance?

Ah Chen sat at the head, waiting for Ning Family to come in.

As Ning Family saw her, she immediately said, "Chenchen."

"Ning Family, I am Princess An Ning, don’t forget your status." Ah Chen said.

From the moment they sent the Commissioner away, their blood ties were severed.

Ning Family was dazed for a while, then performed her bow with a face full of sadness.

She felt deeply distressed, for this was her biological daughter.
