Princess Pingyang handed over a glass of water. Zhao Ziyi took it, took a sip, and then told her what "Shen Wanwan" had said to her at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, she didn't plan to mention the matter of worshiping heaven and earth.

"You just said something about sworn brotherhood and venerating heaven and earth, right?"

Princess Pingyang spoke in a calm voice, showing no emotion.

Zhao Ziyi glared, "Mother is amazing! You even know this. Was it Xia Chan who tipped you off?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head again and again, "No, Xia Chan didn't see anything at all. Sister Wan and I swore brotherhood in the house. Of course, we didn't drink alcohol, we drank tea instead."

"Is your sister Wan in good health?"

Zhao Ziyi waved her hands. "I'm not a doctor, so how can I tell if she's really well? She told me she's fine and that she was faking the blood, but I don't think she was. But there's no reason for her to lie to me, right?"

Princess Pingyang didn't respond, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Mother, will you adopt Pei Wanwan as your adopted daughter? I'm sworn brothers with Sister Wan, and she's also sworn brothers with Pei Wanwan, so my daughter and she are sworn sisters. Furthermore, Sister Wan even gave my daughter such a large ginseng plant. You..."

Princess Pingyang glared at her unhappily, "Did I ever say no?"

"Mother, you just..."

Zhao Ziyi suddenly stood up from her chair. "Mother, are you saying you agreed?"

"Look at you, child. What will you do if your mother doesn't agree?"

Zhao Ziyi instantly dropped her head. "I understand. After all, it was Pei Wanwan who was stupid. We can't offend my cousin. I also told Sister Wan that I would convey her opinion. After listening to my explanation, she said forget it."

"Silly girl, next time you see Pei Wanwan, don't call her stupid. She's actually quite clever. Otherwise, how could she have thought of leaving a blood letter and jumping into the river?"

Zhao Ziyi was extremely surprised. Her mother actually spoke for Pei Wanwan. Did that really mean that she agreed?

"Your face is all sticky. Go wash it quickly. We'll have dinner together later."

Zhao Ziyi didn't move.

Princess Pingyang nudged Zhao Ziyi and said, "Okay, mother agreed. Are you relieved?"

Zhao Ziyi was overjoyed. She hugged Princess Pingyang and kissed her. "Mother is the best. I know that mother loves me the most."

"Look at you, how old are you? Why don't you go wash your face and get ready for dinner?"

Zhao Ziyi let go of Princess Pingyang and turned to run out. "Why bother eating? I'm going to tell Sister Wan the good news first..."

"Then go ahead. I take back what I just said right now."

Zhao Ziyi paused and turned around immediately. "Actually, there's no need to rush. I'm really hungry. I'll go back and wash my face and then come over to have dinner with mother."

Princess Pingyang stared at Zhao Ziyi's receding figure in a daze. He had returned, so it was time for her to come back too.

Zhao Ziyi came out of Wutong Garden and said, "Xia Chan, take the carriage to the Prime Minister's Residence and tell Sister Wan that Mother agreed, but she won't let me go out right now. I'll go see her tomorrow."

Xia Chan nodded, turned around and ran out.

……

When Pei Wanwan told Shen Wanwan that Princess Pingyang had agreed, she was slightly surprised. She really didn't expect that the other party would agree so easily.

Shen Wanwan asked Pei Wanwan to find Zhao Ziyi, just to give it a try. After all, she had refused when the other party expressed her intention to adopt her as her adopted daughter.

Princess Pingyang said, "Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. However, you did save Princess Hua'an. As a reward, I promise you that you can come to me at any time. As long as I can do it and it will not harm my family, I will fulfill my promise."

Shen Wanwan felt that asking Princess Pingyang to adopt "Pei Wanwan" as her adopted daughter was inherently unreasonable, so she was mentally prepared to try the next one if this one didn't work out. Unexpectedly, it not only worked out, but it was also quite smooth.

As for the King of Qin, she and Wanwan had no intention of offending him, and they didn't even have time to avoid him. It was just that Wanwan's previous approach was indeed a bit extreme.

If he really comes to kill me, I will kneel down and kowtow to him and beg for mercy. He won't kill me, right?

Bah! What are you thinking?

If they wanted to kill us, they would have killed us long ago. They would not have saved us in the first place. It's really a waste of worry. Never mind. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
