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

"May I?"

Wan Ning carefully looked at the old woman in front of her who looked like a dead tree. Suddenly, she was so old that it seemed as if she could make her die in this spring with just her eyes. And behind her was a spring that had not yet bloomed.

But this matter involves too many things. If it is discovered, it will be a capital crime. If something happens to my mother-in-law, Douzi will really have no one to take care of her. Wan Ning took out some silver from her pocket and handed it to her mother-in-law: "Would you take these first?"

"But the deposit?" The mother-in-law put her hands behind her back and didn't dare to take it.

"It's for Dou, you can use it first," Wan Ning explained.

Hearing this, the mother-in-law's eyes dimmed immediately. She pursed her lips and waved her hands, smoothing the broken hair on her temples with the back of her hands. She turned her head to look at Douzi, smiled bitterly, and then looked at Wan Ning and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I still have... some more, I can't take this."

Wan Ning waved at Douzi, who immediately put away the biscuit he had not yet finished eating, stood up, brushed off the dust on his butt, smiled naively, and skipped to stand next to his mother-in-law, and asked obediently, "Sister, are you calling me?"

"Yes, Bean, is this cake delicious?"

Douzi nodded and replied, "It's delicious and sweet."

The mother-in-law looked at Douzi kindly and wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

"I just heard from my mother-in-law that Douzi has been very well behaved recently, so I want to treat you to some cakes, lots of cakes. Okay?" Wan Ning asked with a smile.

Douzi raised the half cake he had not finished eating, with the corners of his mouth forming a moon shape, and answered naively: "I already have cake."

Wan Ning put the silver into his pocket, looked at his ambiguous eyes, and explained: "One is not enough. I want to treat Douzi to cakes for a long time. If Douzi is good, I will treat you to cakes all the time, okay?"

Douzi looked tentatively at his mother-in-law beside him, waiting for her nod, then he cheered and jumped in the air like a happy brown bear.

As the sky gradually darkened, the mother-in-law excused herself to leave, and Douzi immediately helped the thin mother-in-law to turn around and leave. The two people's backgrounds formed a strong contrast, and they slowly walked forward step by step. Looking carefully, they found that the mother-in-law's legs and feet had not recovered yet, and she was shaking from side to side when she walked. As they watched, the two walked out of the alley and disappeared from sight. Wan Tao walked to Wan Ning's side and stood side by side with her.

"Princess, where are we going now?"

"Go back to the palace."

She had been away from the palace for only one day, and when she returned, many things had already happened. She had just walked to the door of Xiangwan Pavilion and heard a noise from inside. At this time, a girl in a gorgeous skirt rushed out quickly. Before she could see her face clearly, she was hugged by her, and she was almost suffocated by the passion.

Wan Ning immediately reached out to pull her away, but she couldn't move no matter what. At this time, Zhu Zi and Shui Yue also came out, their eyes widened when they saw this, and they went forward without hesitation to pull her away.

"Who is it?" Wan Ning confirmed with Shuiyue using mouth shapes.

Shuiyue pulled her arm and introduced who the visitor was: "Ms. Rulan, don't be like this. The princess is having a hard time breathing."

"Gao Rulan?" Wan Ning repeated in disbelief, and asked, "Shouldn't you be in Yudie Palace?"

Rulan then let go of her hand, but immediately grabbed Wan Ning's arm, shaking it back and forth, with a shy smile on her face. I have never seen her like this before. She looked shy like a young girl in love.

"Pretty sister, do you know? Brother Huaichu is the emperor, and the emperor is Brother Huaichu, the good-looking brother Huaichu. I came to Xiang Wanxuan immediately after I knew it, but you were not at home, and I waited for a long time."

Zhu Zi and Shui Yue looked at each other, nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, we've been waiting for a long time." Judging from their attitude, Rulan must have made Zhu Zi and Shui Yue very helpless today.

Wan Ning held her shoulders and asked tentatively, "How did you know?"

Gao Rulan seemed not to hear her question, and continued to talk to herself: "It's Brother Huaichu. No wonder I saw Brother Huaichu when I was looking for a kite in the garden last time. I was happy when I saw him. It's so strange. This has never happened before. Pretty sister, do you think I like him?"

Wan Ning nodded awkwardly. Did she wait in Xiang Wanxuan until now just to say this? But she still answered, "Maybe, Rulan, how did you know?"

"Like, so this is what love means. Rulan likes Brother Huaichu. No, Rulan likes the emperor." Gao Rulan suddenly realized that before answering Wan Ning's question, she turned around and smiled sweetly and innocently, and asked embarrassedly, "Know what?"

Wan Ning forced a smile and repeated, "How do you know Huaichu is the emperor?"

"Oh, today the nanny came to Yudie Palace and said that we have been in the palace for many days but have not seen the emperor's true face, and we don't know what the emperor likes. We are afraid that we will not be able to take good care of the emperor in the future, let alone have children for the royal family. In order to make the concubines more pleasing to the emperor, the nanny will bring a concubine to take care of and serve the emperor every day. The one who was drawn today was Rulan, so I stayed with Brother Huaichu for the whole afternoon, watching him read and write, I was so happy." Gao Rulan couldn't see Wan Ning's expression and attitude, and kept talking to herself.

For Wan Ning, she was very surprised at the moment why Ziheng agreed to do this, and she would definitely ask him about it when they met.

"Don't stand at the door, come in and sit down." Wan Ning took Rulan's hand and looked at her smiling face. She was still so innocent, cute and naive, just like the first time she met her in the teahouse.

Gao Rulan shook her head and explained, "No need, I am satisfied just seeing the beautiful sister. This time I want to give this to you, sister."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of strings from his bosom, took out one and handed it to Wan Ning, smiling shyly: "Pretty sister, I'm here to give this to you. It's Huaichu... No, it's a reward from the emperor today. There happened to be two, and I thought of pretty sister, so we can each take one. Pretty sister, do you like it?"

Before Wan Ning could refuse, something appeared in her hand. She held the edge with one hand and turned it around her wrist, nodding and agreeing, "Yeah, I like it, I like it."

"My mother told me that when she was little, she would exchange bracelets with Concubine Lan, and we do the same now. If I can enter the palace in the future, I must share jewelry with my sister."

"Silly girl, the princess will not live in the palace after she gets married."

Gao Rulan acted coquettishly and said, "No, I want to stay with my beautiful sister and brother Huaichu. Sister, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. If you can see her, can you help me say a few words to her?"

Wan Ning nodded.

Rulan stared at me with her big watery eyes, the eyes that no one would reject, and added:

"Tell her I miss her."

"I want to marry Brother Huaichu."
