At the door of the imperial study, Mu Xiwen stood for a long time but did not receive the emperor's summons. He circled the door several times but did not dare to go in privately. He could only ask the guards at the door again and again, but the guards ignored him and pretended not to hear him.

Mu Xiwen didn't dare to advance or retreat. If he left without permission, what if the emperor got angry? But waiting like this was not a good idea either.

In the end, Jiang Su rushed over from Fengyi Palace and informed Mu Xiwen that the emperor was not feeling well today and had gone to bed, and asked him to come back tomorrow.

Mu Xiwen did not dare to lose his temper and could only endure it. All he was thinking about was how to deal with Mu Nanyan when she returned home.

Mu Nanyan stood far away in the corner and watched his expression. It turned out that the ugliness of human nature could also be revealed on the face.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back to the palace. Our father won't let him go easily, don't worry." Jun Youning could see that she was in a bad mood and could only comfort her softly.

Mu Nanyan rubbed her cheek and said, "Let's go."

Mu Xiwen finally returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered Bairong Courtyard, he heard Shen discussing with the maid about what style of new clothes to choose. He was so angry that he kicked the door open and said, "What are you buying? I worked hard all day in the palace, and all you do in the mansion is buy, buy, buy?"

Shen was startled. "Master, what happened to you? Did you bring Yan'er back?"

"Bring her back, what the hell! This damn brat actually dared to leave me alone. I didn't even get to see her. She stood at the door of the imperial study for a long time!"

Shen stood up and asked Mu Xiwen to sit down, and handed him a cup of tea, "Master, don't be angry. If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Aren't you in the palace? The palace is so big, and one or two people will die..."

Mu Xiwen's face became even uglier. "Are you a pig? What if something happens to someone in the palace and the emperor finds out? Can the people above us still help us? Can our great cause still be accomplished? Okay, I feel annoyed when I see you. I'm going back to the study."

Shen followed him, "Master, it's all my fault. I didn't think it through. It's..."

Mu Xiwen shook off her hand and walked straight back to the study. On the way, he met Lu Rou. The candlelight by the roadside shone on her soft and weak face, which had a special charm. A piece of white flesh on her chest was hidden in the white gauze. Her delicate voice rang out: "Master, I really made you wait for so long. Look at this dress. I just received it today and wanted to wear it for you to see. But I went to the study to find you, but you were not here!"

"Come here, let me see. Our Rou'er is really pretty. This dress suits you even better. Come." Mu Xiwen hugged her into his arms and slowly moved down her face.

"Ah~ Master, we are outside!" Lu Rou's face was red and she was breathing heavily, with a layer of moisture on her eyes.

Mu Xiwen showed an obscene smile, led the person into the bamboo forest nearby, and ordered the secret guards to stand at a distance and not let anyone pass by.

Lu Rou held his face, her face flushed, the white veil on her chest had long gone, her face slowly moved closer to Mu Xiwen's ear, "Master~ you are so bad!"

Mu Xiwen smiled evilly, "Then Rou'er should enjoy it."

As she spoke, she moved more vigorously. She sat on a tree not far away in the wind, listening to the singing coming from below. She couldn't help but blush and silently moved forward two trees.

The secret guards around him also followed him silently, mainly because no normal adult man could stand the sound.

Less than half an incense stick of time later, the noise below stopped. Mu Xiwen simply put on his clothes, holding Lu Rou and hurried to the study.

The next morning, Mu Nanyan crawled out of bed with great difficulty. She couldn't sleep in in the Queen's palace. Should she get up early and pay her respects?

Wushuang heard the noise in the house and tentatively called out, "Miss, are you awake?"

Mu Nanyan rubbed her eyes and said, "Come in now that you're awake."

"Miss, why did you get up so early today?" Wushuang put down the clothes in her hands.

"How can we live here without getting up early?" Mu Nanyan was full of resentment, asking her to get up early was like asking for her life!

As the saying goes, staying up late will waste three days, and getting up early will waste a week.

"Miss, the Queen sent someone to say that you don't have to get up early. His Royal Highness Prince Li has previously told you that you like to sleep in."

Mu Nanyan's face was a little hot. Why did this person say everything? Did she have no shame? Although she was not afraid of the imperial power, she was afraid of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

How can I change my mother-in-law's impression of her? I don't even have a mobile phone to search for it. Help!

"Ahem!" Mu Nanyan shifted her gaze to Wushuang who was standing aside. "Wushuang, don't be busy for now. I want to ask you something. I have a friend who has not yet married but she has left her mother-in-law with the impression that she is lazy. What can she do to change her mother-in-law's impression of her?"

Wushuang was also stunned by the question, "Maybe... it means... I need to get up early, work hard, and know how to cook?"

Mu Nanyan felt that what she said made sense. Getting up early would be choking. As for working... Mu Nanyan looked around. There were palace maids working every day, so she would not be needed for cleaning. As for cooking, that was easy for her. As a person from the 22nd century, she would surely charm everyone by making some snacks.

Mu Nanyan dressed herself up and Wushuang led her to the front hall of Fengyi Palace.

A charming voice sounded from the hall: "Hey~ Who is this?"

The queen proudly introduced, "This is Li'er's wife-to-be. Yan'er, come and sit here with your mother."

The Queen's call of "Mother" was definitely a threat to the concubines below, and also a warning to them not to touch Mu Nanyan.

Concubine Li was surprised. Didn't Miss Mu disobey the emperor's order? How could she appear in Fengyi Palace safely? The Empress even called herself the Queen Mother. Did the Emperor give in?

Concubine Li thought about it, shook her head and laughed at herself. Yes, the Emperor had said no to the things that the Queen liked.

Mu Nanyan sat next to the queen in a very proper manner, without any pettiness at all, and looked directly at the concubines below, making the people below feel creepy.

"How was your sleep last night?" The queen gently held Mu Nanyan's hand, her face full of joy. Her daughter Yuan'er was finally wanted by someone, and she finally had an explanation. She could leave with peace of mind after a hundred years.

Mu Nanyan nodded, "Very good, I'm not feeling unwell at all, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up so early this morning."

"That's good. I didn't expect you to get up so early today. I heard Yuan'er say that you wouldn't get up until at least noon. I was worried that you wouldn't sleep well."

Mu Nanyan almost dug up Jun Zhuoyuan's ancestors' graves in her heart. What did she mean by she would only get up at noon? The reason she got up at noon that time was because she stayed up late. How could she be so lazy? Jun Zhuoyuan really told everything out loud, what a big mouth!

Mu Nanyan said with difficulty, "No, I slept well. Thank you for your concern, mother."

When Jun Youning heard that Mu Nanyan had already gotten up, he hurried to the front hall.

"Run slower and don't fall!" The queen frowned and couldn't help but admonish.

Concubine Oriole said sarcastically: "The fifth princess is already so old, but she is still so impetuous."

"My daughter can do whatever she wants!" The emperor's voice came from outside the palace.
