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

"Marry, marry, marry. You can marry whomever you want. Wan Tao, send Miss Gao back to Yudie Palace."

Gao Rulan was immersed in joy and didn't realize the ups and downs of Wan Ning's emotions. When Wan Tao approached to send her back, she still happily talked about her happiness. She lingered and pulled Wan Ning's sleeve, chattering: "Beautiful sister, I really like Brother Huaichu."

"Ms. Rulan, let me take you home." As she spoke, Wan Tao had already pulled her away.

The surroundings returned to peace again, and Wan Ning recovered from her initial loss and shock, and was replaced by a sense of complacency. She realized that she would leave here anyway, and if she could meet someone who really liked Ziheng before she left, she would have less worries and guilt, which would be a win-win situation.

"Princess, let's go in first." Zhu Zi's suggestion brought Wan Ning back to her senses. She smiled awkwardly to hide her emotions, lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Bam—"

When she was caught off guard, a small stone flew from the darkness and hit the edge of Wan Ning's skirt. This must be someone trying to stop her, so she stopped and looked back.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, you guys go in first, I remembered I have something to take care of."

Zhu Zi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what's the matter? Let us help you?" But before she could finish her words, Shuiyue, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Zi, forcibly turning off the microphone.

"Let's go, Zhu Zi. Sister Zhu Ying asked us to help. If you go back late, you might be punished. The princess has something to do, so we won't disturb her." After saying that, he dragged Zhu Zi away without giving her a chance to ask questions.

Wan Ning squatted down and picked up the stone, which was neither too big nor too small. He couldn't see its shape clearly in the dark, but it felt very smooth and unique, so he put it directly into his pocket. At the same time, his eyes were busy searching for the person who threw the stone.

"Sh ...

"What do you want me to do?"

The man was startled and immediately turned around. He found someone standing behind him and took two steps back. He gasped loudly and said angrily, "Princess, why are you scaring me?"

Wan Ning crossed her hands in front of her chest and looked around. When she heard this backstabbing, she suddenly smiled speechlessly and said, "You are blaming me first. You run eight hundred times a day, but why are you so shy today? Are you hiding behind this tree, pretending to be an assassin?"

Yin Zhu waved her hands and explained: "Princess, you can't say that. How can I be an assassin? This is not hiding..."

He suddenly "braked" and stopped talking, lowering his head.

"Who are you hiding from?" Wan Ning leaned over and looked up at his expression from below and asked.

"No one, it's my young master who wants to invite you, Princess." Yin Zhu touched his head, looking naive.

The more he refused to speak, the more Wan Ning wanted to tease him. She put her hands on her hips and replied, "If you don't tell me who you are hiding from, I won't go. When you go back, tell your young master that Princess Le Yan is out of the palace playing and hasn't come back yet, okay?"

Yin Zhu became even more anxious after hearing this, and said with a red face: "Princess...Princess, the young master is waiting for you."

Wan Ning pretended to leave and said, "Since you can't tell me, I'll go back first. Zhu Ying is waiting for me to taste the new dishes."

One step, two steps... Thinking that his young master was still waiting, Yin Zhu looked at Wan Ning's back and shouted anxiously: "Shuiyue, I'm hiding from Shuiyue."

"Why are you hiding from her? We Shuiyue don't eat people."

"She doesn't eat people, but she eats dried sweet potatoes." Yin Zhu said in annoyance, "I made a bet with her a few days ago, and I lost ten kilograms of dried sweet potatoes to her. I don't have any dried sweet potatoes, and I'm worried that she'll come to ask for them, so I avoid her. Princess, can you help me tell me if I can replace the dried sweet potatoes with something else?"

"It's just dried sweet potatoes. Shuiyue doesn't want them all. Why don't you ask someone to buy them for her someday? Shuiyue is the best at talking. If you really can't afford it, just go and tell her in person. I believe she will agree." Wan Ning smiled at his embarrassing look. The scene of Shuiyue asking him for it on weekdays suddenly appeared in her mind. However, Wan Ning never interfered in their affairs. Let them solve it themselves. Now it was her turn to abide by the agreement. She turned around and strode towards the direction of Yuxi Palace, urging: "Let's go. Don't let your young master wait anxiously."

It was extremely dark inside Yuxi Palace. There was no light source in the courtyard, and even the road on the ground was not very clear. I could only see a lamp in the study from a distance.

Wan Ning frowned and asked Yin Zhu beside her: "Is your young master saving energy, reducing emissions, and being green and environmentally friendly?"

"Princess, what do you mean?"

"Why don't you light the lamp? It's so dark here. If the people from Tumo see us, they will think that we can't afford lamps! No, you are the people from Tumo. Don't tell anyone when you go back." Wan Ning complained nonsensically, but she had been to Yuxi Palace many times and was familiar with the way and soon arrived at the door of the study. She pushed the door open without any hesitation and shouted, "Prince Mu Xiu, I heard you have something to talk to me about!"

Yin Zhu, who was behind her, waited for her to enter, then immediately closed the door from the outside and stood at the door quietly guarding.

Looking around, Wan Ning could not see Mu Xiu. The room was very quiet, and she felt a little uneasy. But she still plucked up the courage to go around the screen, and was surprised to find that he was sitting on a chair in front of the table, with a quilt wrapped around his body and a thick blanket covering his legs, and his face was pale and bloodless.

"I got scared. You're here. Why didn't you say anything?" Wan Ning picked up an apple from the table and stuffed it into her mouth. She walked towards Mu Xiu and said, "Why did you come to me so late? It's spring now and the weather is getting warmer. Why are you still wearing such thick clothes?"

After saying that, Wan Ning put the apple down and touched his head, but he stopped her.

“I’m not sick!”

Wan Ning rubbed her hands, feeling the temperature of her fingertips, and murmured, "It's not hot, maybe even a little cooler. By the way, why did you call me here so anxiously?"

"I heard that the maiden took the concubines to serve the emperor today. I'm afraid the selection process will be much faster and you can no longer control it. What are your plans?"

Wan Ning sighed, spread her hands and asked, "You called me just for this? I'm very tired today. I went to the posthouse to get the portrait and just came here."

Mu Xiu looked at her indifferent face, pretending to be happy and asked with a worried look on his face: "Is it going well?"

"Don't mention it. Everything was going smoothly until a curly-haired dog ruined it. It's okay. It's not important. The talent show is not important either. We are going back anyway. If the talent show can select a suitable princess, it will be a good thing."

Mu Xiu looked down at the steam coming out of the cup in his hand, then suddenly raised his head and said:

"We can't go back, Su Wanning!"
