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

Nanny's frankness was clearly intended to intimidate Wan Ning, and to use Wan Ning to establish authority over the concubines, so that they would learn who they should listen to in the future. Wan Ning was unwilling to comply with her wishes after seeing through her thoughts.

"From what I hear, Madam, you mean to blame me, the princess?"

Directly pointing out her purpose, the maid became a little nervous and immediately stepped forward to explain: "I dare not. This is probably because my subordinates are lazy. It has nothing to do with the princess."

Wan Ning didn't want to give her face and let her go so easily. She chased after her and asked, "I selected the people under my command and they followed my orders. Now that Madam is blaming me for not doing a good job, it's naturally my fault for my incompetence. Today's incident was a misunderstanding. According to the previous plan, the concubines were not supposed to see the emperor at this time. Now we are lucky to have Madam come to help. Madam needs to understand the situation clearly. Don't act on your own."

From Wan Ning's answer, the nanny realized that Princess Le Yan in front of her was no longer as obedient as before, and she felt that she had touched an iron wall today. If she continued to argue, the matter would become difficult to resolve, and more importantly, it would be a loss of face for the Queen Mother. So she immediately stepped forward, greeted Wan Ning politely, and said submissively: "Princess, you are right. I learned that the emperor had fainted and was anxious, so I took the initiative to bring the concubines here, thinking that it was also a test for them. I will go down and understand the situation. I hope the princess will forgive me?"

"Forgive? Madam, you are putting it too seriously. You have been taking care of the Empress Dowager for many years, so your behavior is naturally more stable and appropriate than others. You are also kind-hearted today, so what crime have you committed? Madam, please stand up." After the madam slowly stood up, Wan Ning added, "But I do not understand one thing. What are you bringing these girls here to investigate? The Emperor has people to take care of him, so why does he need these young ladies to take care of him personally? They are the future imperial concubines, not here to be servants."

"Yes, I'll take them away right now." After saying that, he hurriedly took these concubines away. It was a pity that they came all the way here to eat some melons and then returned to the Jade Butterfly Palace. Some were upset, some didn't care, and some were happy. Of course, Gao Rulan secretly waved to Wan Ning in the crowd, with such a pure smile on her face.

But after recovering from the battle, Wan Ning still heard the speculations of others about Ziheng and Princess Hejing's past. She walked on the road in silence, while Wan Tao followed behind her at a distance. Seeing that the princess' mood was affected, Wan Tao closed the distance between them and talked about what happened just now again.

"Princess, why did you let Mammy off so easily this time?"

"After all, one has to look at the owner before beating the dog. If I continue to pursue this issue, it would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother. Others would think that I bullied her. Besides, she is just a little too smart for her own good and is anxious to gain merit in front of her master. A light punishment and a severe warning will be enough." Wan Ning answered absentmindedly.

"If this nanny is just like this, it would be fine. But I'm afraid she has ulterior motives. Just now when I left Doctor Hu, I heard this nanny teaching the ladies how to act. I guess she mentioned Princess Hejing in front of you, Princess. I'm afraid she has ulterior motives?" Wan Tao told the story, glancing at Wan Ning's expression out of the corner of her eye.

"Are you telling the truth? Aren't Ziheng and Princess Hejing childhood sweethearts?" Wan Ning asked.

Wan Tao shook her head and replied, "Although we are childhood sweethearts, I don't know the true relationship between us. Not only I don't know, but everyone else doesn't know. Madam is deliberately putting on a show for the princess to sow discord."

Wan Ning nodded and agreed, and the storm came to a temporary end. She also knew that the Queen Mother wanted to use Princess Hejing to cause trouble, and Wan Ning could make plans for this. But what was Princess Hejing's position now, and what was her intention in sending the relics of that war from afar?

In the current Nanye City, if anyone knows her best, it is Mu Xiu and Meng Zhu who came from Tumo. When Meng Zhu was still a child, she went straight to Mu Xiu's Yuxi Palace.

"Oh, here you are. Princess Le Yan has been coming to my palace too frequently recently, right?"

"Why, Prince Mu Xiu doesn't welcome you? They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Since we live so close, we should naturally interact more."

Yin Zhu, who was standing by, watched the two bickering with amusement, and promptly bowed to Wan Ning and said, "Good luck to the princess!"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome. Yin Zhu, why don't you go and make tea for the princess? An envoy from Tu Mo has recently come and specially sent some top-quality yogurt snacks. Bring them together to entertain the princess." Mu Xiu lay on the chair, tilted his head and instructed Yin Zhu who was standing beside him.

After Yin Zhu received the order, his eyes moved between the two of them and he secretly pursed his lips before he took the order and left.

"What's wrong with Yin Zhu? He seems absent-minded today?" Wan Ning saw this and asked Mu Xiu with concern, "He must be homesick. Prince Mu Xiu should also pay attention to the mental health of his employees. If they stay in this palace for a long time, I'm afraid everyone will have problems."

Mu Xiu looked at Yin Zhu's back as he left, smiling with a childish look that he couldn't hide, and said, "He is homesick. Today, he followed Tu Mo's envoy to Nanye City, and he also wanted to inquire about the situation at home. He is young, so it is inevitable that he will be unstable at times. Why did you come today?"

Wan Ning was about to speak when Ziheng suddenly interrupted her and added, "If you're here to urge us to make progress, I can only say that it's not that fast. We'll have to wait for the map."

Wan Ning smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so inhumane. What a coincidence, I'm here today for Tu Mo's envoy. Do you know why Tu Mo's envoy came?"

"Why else? For the peace between our two countries."

As soon as the words came out, Wan Ning rolled her eyes and attacked. She complained unhappily: "Brother, the one who came is an envoy from the enemy country, not a dove of peace! Be serious, I am not kidding you this time."

After being "taught a lesson", Mu Xiu also took it seriously, and even his expression became serious. He replied: "I heard that Princess Feiyu is going back to Nanye to visit her relatives, and the envoy is here to facilitate this."

"This is naturally a big deal, but Princess Hejing has been married to Tumo for many years. Why does she want to come back to visit her parents this year?" Wan Ning asked.

"Princess Hejing? She doesn't like this name." Mu Xiu looked unhappy and added, "This title was specially given by the Queen Mother to show her generosity so that Princess Feiyu's status would match that of King Tumo when she went to marry. Princess Hejing of Nanye City only existed for three days. The title of princess existed for much longer than Nanye during the marriage."

Mu Xiu glanced at her and continued, "I have inquired about it. The most important reason why King Tumo wants the princess to return to Chu is that the two countries have already officially ceased hostilities. Secondly, the princess gave birth to Prince Muren. He is grateful for her hard work. Thirdly, he came to see Princess Mengzhu on behalf of King Tumo. If someone mentions it, it would seem heartless and ungrateful if he ignores her."

"So that's how it is. The matter has been accomplished, and the Queen Mother has ordered that it should be treated with great ceremony." Wan Ning patted his shoulder.

But Mu Xiu suddenly sat up and looked at Wan Ning fiercely, as if he wanted to see through her. He asked, "But why are you suddenly so concerned about Princess Feiyu today? Is there something wrong?"

Wan Ning pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, stared at him and said, "You told me before that Ziheng and Feiyu are friends. Do you know what kind of relationship they are? Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"
