After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival was over. Everyone forgot their worries and strolled around the lanterns until late at night. The next morning, there was a familiar knock on the door, mixed with hurried calls.

"Princess, princess..."

Wan Ning was sitting at the table at this time. When she heard the sound, she quickly opened the door with a calm and composed gesture.

"Princess, you're awake!" Shuiyue showed a look of joy after a false alarm, and touched her head honestly, pleading: "I overslept today and missed the time to wake you up. Sister Zhuying can't know."

Without the help of an alarm clock, Wan Ning always had the problem of oversleeping, but today was the princess's big event and she absolutely could not miss the time, so Zhu Ying arranged for someone to wake the princess up.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, look!" Wan Ning opened her arms and turned her body to show her clothes and hair accessories, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm all done, and I didn't delay anything. Let's go quickly, today is the opening day of the talent show!"

According to the program, today is the day when the showgirls and showboys make their first appearance and move into Yuxi Palace and Yulan Garden. At the strong request of the only party A of this program, the Queen Mother, the Emperor will receive them here today. After all, the Queen Mother used the excuse of choosing a concubine for the Emperor, so on the surface, she naturally needs to respect his preferences.

Wan Ning and others came to the palace that served as the venue. The layout and decoration had been completed as required, and several palace maids were placing flowers on the roadside. The first thing that caught the eye in the middle of the venue was a round platform, where the handsome men and beautiful women would introduce themselves in turn; the steps connecting this platform extended all the way to the interior of the palace.

At that time, Ziheng and the Queen Mother will sit together in the palace and comment on the young masters and young ladies below. Wan Ning tried to jump onto the platform and looked into the palace. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly. She frowned and shook her head, thinking: "This view is too bad. I can only hear his voice but not see him. Even if I meet him, I can't see his appearance clearly."

After seeing the sight here, she became curious about the Queen Mother and Ziheng's perspectives. She stared at the palace and thought for a long time before lifting the hem of her skirt: "No, I have to go and see it myself."

The stairs connecting the two worlds seemed to be within easy reach. Climbing from one end to the other, Wan Ning was out of breath. She held the door frame of the palace with one hand, put her other hand on her waist and panted heavily, muttering softly: "Ah, if I had known it would be so tiring... I wouldn't have come up. Forget it, since I'm here, I might as well take a look." The moment she looked up, she was shocked by the solemn and magnificent momentum of the palace. The high dragon throne seemed unattainable, and she couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow——".

"Didn't they say that Chu Country was short of money after the war? They actually have such a luxurious place. A lean camel is bigger than a horse." Wan Ning thought to herself as she stood behind the threshold with her hands on her hips, looking down at the venue which was making the final arrangements. The busy people turned into black dots moving back and forth. How could she see the faces of the contestants clearly?

Wan Ning waved her hands and said silently: "Forget it, it's just a formality anyway."

Unprepared, just as she was about to step over the threshold, Wan Ning suddenly felt someone grabbing her arm. She looked back in surprise, only to see a slightly heaving chest. As her eyes moved upward, she gradually saw Ziheng's face with a smile on his face and a look of joy in his eyes. She also responded with a shy smile unconsciously.

"Ziheng, it's not time for you to come yet, why are you here?" Wan Ning asked.

Ziheng looked down at her and smiled shyly. He was in no hurry to explain. He took her wrist and took her a few steps to hide behind the curtains on both sides of the dragon throne. The fingers holding her wrist slid down gently, holding her hands and standing face to face. The longing in his eyes seemed to have lit a fuse to set off fireworks in his eyes, flashing and making people unable to take their eyes away.

Wan Ning was clearly aware of his change, and her tone became a little gentler as she asked, "Ziheng, why are you here?"

Ziheng opened his arms and hugged her tightly in a bear hug. He leaned close to Wan Ning's ear and whispered softly, "Because I miss you, Yanyan."

Since the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Wan Ning has been rushing to finish the audition deadline like she is rushing to finish her winter vacation homework before school starts. The time is tight and the task is heavy, especially when the day is approaching, there are more and more trivial and scattered things. She is so busy every day that she inevitably neglects Ziheng. Even when she goes to Wan Xuan, she often doesn't see him and has to sit on the bench.

Being hugged by him, with his head resting on her shoulder, Wan Ning could feel his little bit of loss. She took out her arm and put it around Ziheng's waist, and gently patted his back with the other hand, comforting him as if comforting a child: "I miss you too. You know I'm too busy recently, so I'm a little cold to you. Ziheng is the most sensible, you will definitely understand me, right?"

Ziheng tightened his embrace, holding her tightly in his arms, and responded to her question: "Yanyan, no need to explain, you did this for us, but you have been working hard recently."

After hearing his answer, Wan Ning didn't know how to evaluate Ziheng's self-assault behavior, and silently tried to make a connection in her heart: "For us? I guess so. Ziheng, Ziheng, I didn't expect that you are still so affectionate in the new year, and even your self-PUA skills have reached a new level!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Wan Ning took the opportunity to hug his slender waist and responded to his deep affection. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approaching from outside the palace came into Wan Ning's ears. Noticing someone approaching, Wan Ning immediately stood up and tried to push Ziheng away, but he not only did not let go, but hugged her tighter.

Wan Ning became panicked. If someone discovered that the eldest princess of Chu State and the emperor of the current dynasty were hugging each other behind the curtain on the day of the selection ceremony, the explosion of this news would be unimaginable. Although she was not a real princess, who would believe it now? If this irreversible situation occurred, she would die without knowing how she died.

"Let me go, someone is coming!" Wan Ning turned her head to check the situation of the person, but she was blocked by the layers of curtains and could not see anything. She turned back and urged Ziheng in a low voice: "Let me go, someone is coming, hurry up!"

But Ziheng still looked calm and composed, holding her and stopping her casually and frivolously: "No one outside can come in here without my order. On the contrary, Yanyan, you'd better keep your voice down, otherwise if someone hears and thinks there is a thief, it will be difficult to deal with it."

No wonder he was so calm and composed, it turned out that everything was under his control. Never mind, Wan Ning stopped talking, letting him hold her and express his thoughts in silence, clinging to her like a child. After a while, he suddenly raised his head through his bright eyes, with a bit of expectation on his face, like a well-behaved big dog waiting for food from its owner.

"Yanyan, can we go public?"
