While admiring the paintings, a familiar person caught Ning Shujun's attention. It was a pair of sisters from the Cheng family. Cheng Huajin's painting was a scene of blooming flowers. The flowers outlined with lifelike lines and skillful techniques.

Ning Shujun felt a little ashamed of herself and praised the Cheng family for educating their daughter well. The next painting was of two dogs biting and fighting, which was vividly brought to life with just a few strokes.

"Who painted this?" Ning Shujun glanced at the beautiful girls.

The girl in pink walked forward, a little hesitant in her eyes, biting her lower lip. The nanny beside Ning Shujun said, "My daughter Cheng Yunjin,

"Oh" Ning Shujun was about to speak, but suddenly her face changed as if she realized something.

"My sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me, Princess." Cheng Huajin quickly pulled Cheng Yunjin to kneel down.

"Let's talk about the talent show another day. You all go down and have some rest." Ning Shujun said this and left, looking very anxious.

In the back garden, Ziying had no feelings towards Ning Xuan's various advances, and responded simply due to her status.

Sensing the lady's presence, the expression in his eyes changed slightly.

At this time, the palace servant interrupted the awkward atmosphere that had been deadlocked for a long time, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess requests an audience."

"Proclaim"

Ning Shujun saw Ziying as soon as she arrived, but she remained calm and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty."

Ning Xuan smiled faintly, "My sister, you came at the right time. I saw Ah Ying came alone to look for you, so I summoned her to wait for you here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Ning Shujun said as she took out an album of beauties, which contained portraits of selected beauties.

Ning Shujun handed the things to her father-in-law beside her. At this time, Ziying was already standing behind her.

"Thank you for your concern, sister."

"It's my duty." Ning Shujun took the tea brought by the maid, took a few sips, and put down the teacup.

He then went on to introduce the selected beauties, saying that they were all good-looking, had passed the tests of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their family backgrounds were impeccable.

Ning Xuan casually flipped through a few pages and closed it. Although he knew that what he did was inappropriate, he didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Royal sister, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can fulfill it."

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

But this person still spoke up, "I love Ah Ying, I hope the princess will give up on me."

Even though she said it so bluntly, Ning Shujun showed a little hesitation in her eyes. However, she turned to look at Ziying, who had a blank expression on her face, looking cold and aloof.

"Your Majesty is joking."

Just when I thought I had no chance, my sister said, "The whole Huayue belongs to your majesty. I am just a commoner girl."

Ning Shujun smiled and held Ziying's hand, then stroked her cheek and continued, "It is a great blessing for Ah Zi to be favored by the emperor."

"Thank you, Imperial Sister," he said as he wanted to reward Ning Shujun with something.

"Your Majesty," Ning Shujun smiled, "A Zi doesn't know the rules of the palace, so I'll prevent her from getting spoiled. Once I've trained her, I'll send her to you. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Ning Xuan agreed.

After leaving the palace, Ning Shujun pulled Ziying into the carriage and she closed her eyes to rest all the way.

As soon as they returned home, Ning Shujun asked Ziying to practice well and gave her all the Black Tortoise Soul. "With your current level of cultivation, you can defeat any low-level cultivator with a magic weapon. If you meet a powerful one in the future, remember to save your life."

Ziying was reluctant to enter the space, but stood there with the Black Tortoise Soul in her hand. The master just gave the treasure to her.

"What's wrong?" Ning Shujun came to the tea and saw Ziying standing there in a daze.

"Madam, His Majesty asked you for Ah Zi, why did you accept?"

"This..." Ning Shujun thought for a moment and asked, "A Zi is blaming me?"

Ziying shook her head and said calmly, "I will obey the madam's decision." But she felt that her master was too casual about her staying or leaving.

Ning Shujun asked: "If I send you to His Majesty, would you be willing?"

"A Zi, listen to the madam." Ziying's face showed no anger, nor any joy.

"After this year of interacting with humans, have you adapted to living with ordinary people?"

"Not bad," Ziying responded.

"Do you have someone you like?"

Ziying was puzzled, "The one you like?"

Ning Shujun always felt weird when hearing the words "Do you have a significant other?"

After several attempts, Ziying was not interested in His Majesty, and there was no one who made her heart move. She was also unwilling to send Ah Zi to the palace, and Ning Shujun suddenly laughed.

"Well, I have something for you to do."

Ning Shujun stood up, walked forward and gently stroked Ziying's cheek, then held her hand and placed the princess's jade token in Ziying's palm.

"I want you to be my eyes in Huayue. There are some things I can't see, so I need you to see them for me in the dark." Ning Shujun said, "Any place where there are monsters causing trouble, those who harm my Huayue will be eliminated. If you encounter danger, you can take my jade token to the post station, and the local officials, no matter how big or small, will listen to your orders."

Looking at the jade token in her hand, Ziying held it tighter, "Madam"

"Azi, I want you to come back safely after experiencing the first disaster."

Originally, Ziying's practice was also fueled by herself, and her foundation was not yet solid.

"Yeah," Ziying nodded heavily.

Two days later, Zhiqi wrote to say that they would arrive soon. The princess's mansion was filled with laughter and the servants were busy. Ning Shujun learned that her mother and Meizi were coming, so she stood outside the mansion waiting early.

"coming"

Soon, three carriages stopped. Ning Shujun was a little excited when she heard the children's laughter. She hadn't seen Chen'er for a long time. But when her mother and Meizi got off the carriage, they didn't see Chen'er. The people in the following carriages got off, but Chen'er was not there.

"Welcome, mother," Ning Shujun stepped forward.

Lin Yuehua forced a smile, but could not hide her sorrow. Seeing her mother's red eyes, she must have cried, Ning Shujun did not ask immediately.

"Everything has been prepared at home, so you can stay here with peace of mind." Then she took Mei Zi's hand affectionately and asked about her well-being.

Mei Nianqing just moved the corners of her lips, and slightly hot tears rolled down. She said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Ah Fei, I'm sorry for you, Chen'er..."

At this time Lin Yuehua also turned around and held Ning Shujun's hand tightly.

"What... happened?" Ning Shujun's breathing stagnated, "Did something happen to Chen'er?"

They encountered danger on the way and a black fog attacked Chen'er. They went to see a doctor, but to no avail.

Seeing her son again, his face was chubby. After checking, Ning Shujun found that Chen'er was breathing steadily and everything was normal. But he was still sleeping. Just when she was wondering, she noticed a strange pattern on Chen'er's forehead.

She came out holding Chen'er, and seeing her mother's worry, Ning Shujun smiled and shook her head, "It's okay."

Seeing her expression, Mei Zi immediately said: "I have written a letter to Yao Wanggu, let's go find Xu Xing'an"

"it is good"

Ning Shujun agreed with a smile and hugged Chen'er tighter.

For two days, Ning Shujun only cared about taking care of Chen'er and didn't rest. After wiping the little guy's face, she leaned on the bed and looked at the sleeping person.

While she was resting her head, the person on the bed washed his nose, then stole a glance at Ning Shujun. Then he lay down in front of Ning Shujun and stared at her.
