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

Ziheng was disappointed to learn from Wantao that Wan Ning was not here. He shook hands awkwardly with his naturally hanging hands and left. He had just walked a few steps when he remembered that his plan had failed. If Wan Ning knew about it, she would probably laugh at him for a long time, so he turned back.

"Your Majesty." Ziheng suddenly turned back, leaving Wantao confused and stuttering.

"Don't tell the princess," Ziheng instructed.

"What?" Wan Tao murmured subconsciously.

"Don't tell the princess I was here."

"Yes!" Wan Tao agreed.

But speaking of Wan Ning, she did not come to fly kites with them at this time because she took this opportunity to go to Yuxi Palace.

A few hours ago, after Shuiyue and Zhuzi left hand in hand, Wan Ning stood outside the door and looked around the huge yard. Suddenly, she became interested in the trees beside the wall. So she walked forward slowly, and when she got close to the branches, she found that many fluffy dots had sprouted on them overnight, and they were slightly brown and showed a faint green color.

This fluffy thing looks silly, like a fat little bug, and is actually quite cute. The vigorous growth of life also made the seeds in her heart begin to break out of their shells and grow an upward force, which also gave her a strange warmth. Wan Ning lowered her head and counted the days on her fingers, January, February... June, and now January was almost over, and her six-month appointment was just a blink of an eye away.

She herself felt that although she didn't say anything about the time travel, she was not as enthusiastic as before. But now she didn't have much time left, so she should take the initiative to find Mu Xiu to discuss it, make plans early, and advance the project progress.

Ever since Princess Mengzhu moved to Yudie Palace to live with the concubines, Yuxi Palace has become much more desolate and lonely, no longer as lively as before. Except for Princess Mengzhu who occasionally comes back to get something, Yin Zhu and Mu Xiu are the only two people who stay in the palace and never go out. They are just like stay-at-home people.

Wan Ning took the plan she had promised to Mu Xiu last time and walked towards Yuxi Palace. The door was still ajar, and she put her ear to the crack of the door to eavesdrop on the noise inside. But even with her ears perked up, there was still nothing except the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. She blinked and thought, "Forget it, forget it, there is no movement, I'd better go in and take a look."

After saying that, Wan Ning straightened up, pulled her arms back to gather strength at her wrists, and then pushed hard. There was a "pop" sound, and the door creaked under the force.

As the door opened, a bamboo forest came into view. Wan Ning strode in, stood behind the threshold with her hands on her hips, and looked around curiously. But even though she had deliberately made such a big noise just now, she had not attracted the attention of Yin Zhu and Mu Xiu. No one came over no matter how long she waited.

"Hey, that's strange. Doesn't Yin Zhu usually like to scurry around in the yard with a broom? Where did he go today? Tsk tsk, I'm not complaining, but although Yin Zhu likes to clean, he's very slow. Sometimes he can only clean one part of the yard after a whole day. I think he's like an unfavored concubine. He has to do housework for a few days to kill time when he has nothing to do."

She had been to this courtyard many times and was very familiar with its structure, as if it were her second home. Since the owner did not come to greet her, she walked towards the study on her own. Somehow, it was unusually quiet here today, and the plants on both sides of the long and winding path made sounds, as if something was turning over.

Wan Ning was a little nervous, worried about encountering small snakes, but she also remembered that it was not yet the Waking of Insects. They were sleeping well underground, so they didn't come to join in the fun. Now, except for the people being a little wary, she felt relieved. Behind the path around the bamboo forest was their residence. Although it was not directly accessible, it was good to be able to see from a distance whether there was anyone in the house.

Wan Ning walked around the bamboo forest with fear and calmness. This was Mu Xiu's study room, and someone opened the door at that moment. He was wearing a gray shirt. It was a little far away so she couldn't see the man's face. But there would be no one else here except the two of them, so she smiled and waved to say hello.

Strangely enough, the man's response to this warm greeting was to immediately retreat, not forgetting to close the door, as if nothing had happened. If her hands were not still raised in the air, Wan Ning would have thought that what had just happened was just her imagination.

"What medicine should I buy? What are they up to?" Wan Ning complained as she walked towards the door. Perhaps because she was too enthusiastic to watch the show, she quickly reached the door.

She moved closer to the door and put her ear against it, but still heard nothing.

"They couldn't have been practicing martial arts secretly behind closed doors, and now they have mastered such magical skills. High-end magical skills often need to be treated with the most simple and direct methods." After saying this, Wan Ning raised her hand to knock on the door, but before her knuckles could put their hands on the door, the door opened from the inside, revealing Yin Zhu's face.

He stood in the middle of the door, holding the door with both hands as if deliberately guarding against her. If this was the case, Wan Ning would not admit defeat. She raised her hand with her palm facing Yin Zhu, and while Yin Zhu was high-fiving, Wan Ning quickly went around and entered the study room.

Then he asked half-jokingly with a triumphant expression, "You haven't opened the door for so long, are you hiding a mistress here?"

"Princess, no, no, my prince would never do such a thing." Yin Zhu hurriedly explained in fear and trepidation.

Ning would not stop that night, and continued to make the movements of searching, sometimes pulling the curtains or pretending to open the cabinet, she took the opportunity to look up and down, but found nothing. As she was scanning carefully, Mu Xiu's voice suddenly came from behind: "Even if it is hidden, it will not be in the cabinet, Princess Le Yan, please find another place."

"Boring." Wan Ning closed the cabinet boredly, turned around and saw Mu Xiu sitting at the table reading a book with his head down. His eyes were always fixed on the book in his hands, as if he was unwilling to look up at it.

Wan Ning lowered her eyes and glanced carefully at his desk. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. Next to the wet inkstone was a piece of paper covered with words.

"Prince Mu Xiu is so elegant," Wan Ning walked over and picked up a piece of paper. The words on it already had basic aesthetic value and were very beautiful. She praised him generously: "Prince Mu Xiu has made progress behind my back. Your handwriting is so beautiful, while mine looks like a dog's crawling."

Mu Xiu put down the book in his hand, turned it over carefully and placed it on the table, then walked to Wan Ning and took the "ink treasure" in her hand, saying as he walked: "There is no other shortcut, just practice more if you are not good at it."

"Okay, okay, I'll practice. I'll practice when I have time." After saying that, she turned her head and suddenly saw a different piece of paper in the book on the table, but she had never heard Prince Mu Xiu mention it. Wan Ning continued to joke, but her eyes were always fixed on the gap in the book, thinking about how to get it: "But, does Prince Mu Xiu really not have a beautiful woman hidden in his golden house?"

"I hid it." Unexpectedly, Prince Mu Xiu suddenly admitted it.
