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

Bored, she dragged a chair by the table to the window by the backrest, and used one hand to roughly push the window open. A warm spring breeze blew in her face, and Wan Ning sat down leaning against the window, her eyes occasionally glancing at the low wall where Ziheng often looked, and thoughts also flooded into her mind intermittently.

There were so many messages waiting to be processed that the system was about to crash, but I wanted to wait for Ziheng to come over and make things clear. Lovers hate self-determination and suspicion the most, so it is best to solve problems on the spot. But no matter how long I waited, Ziheng never showed up.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed under the eaves at the corner. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look over, feeling a little more lost.

"Wantao, why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?" Wan Ning had stood up and the two of them were talking through the window.

"The evening breeze is gentle, and I want to go out for a walk. The princess hasn't rested yet, but is it because of what Miss Gao said?" Wan Tao asked tentatively.

"Not all of them," Wan Ning shook her head and laughed at herself, "Things seem to have all come together all of a sudden."

The bitterness in that smile was visible at a glance. Wan Tao couldn't bear to continue watching, so she lowered her head and took out a paper bag like a magician, carefully unfolded it and handed it to Wan Ning.

"what is this?"

Wan Tao smiled and didn't explain, just motioned for her to try it. It wasn't until Wan Ning took a bite and the fragrant and sweet taste filled her mouth, and the sweet food temporarily filled the gap in her mood, that Wan Tao talked about the origin of this dessert.

"This is a newly made dessert in the imperial kitchen. It's not available in other palaces. The emperor sent someone to deliver it today. The princess happened to be out of the palace, and the dessert was kept in the kitchen. I just saw it when I passed by. I thought it wouldn't taste good if it was kept for another day, so I sent it to you, the princess." Although Wan Tao was talking about the dessert, she was secretly explaining for the emperor. Besides, the emperor only had her in his heart, so she couldn't worry.

Wan Ning smiled and lowered her head without saying anything. She sat back in her chair and looked at the waxing moon shining in the clouds, savoring the taste of the cake in her hand. Seeing this, Wan Tao turned around and left silently, and the surroundings returned to peace again.

That night, she didn't know how long she sat in front of the window and how long she thought. In the silence, she suddenly understood many things. There were too many roads ahead and too many noises around. Since she didn't know who should be listened to, she should listen to her heart. The thoughts in her heart are the compass for the road ahead.

After I figured it out, I stopped worrying about it. Suddenly, the shackles in my heart were gone, and I felt relaxed all over.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Wan Ning washed and dressed herself simply, and just after she finished her wedding, she hurriedly ran through the front yard. Her face was flushed, her chest was heaving, and she stammered, "Princess, Princess, no...it's not good."

Wan Ning wondered what worse news could there be, so she put her dressing tools back into the dressing box, turned around and asked with concern: "Slow down, the sky isn't falling. What do you think of my outfit today?" After saying that, she stood up and turned around, showing off her look from all angles, and looked at Zhu Zi expectantly.

"It is beautiful, but isn't the princess a little too plain? The bun is simple, and she doesn't have a hairpin. Even the dress she wears is so plain. She doesn't look like a princess but more like a new maid in the palace." Zhu Zi spoke frankly, not worrying at all that Wan Ning would get angry and blame her.

But how could Wan Ning get angry over such a small matter? She turned around and admired her outfit in the mirror, feeling extremely satisfied. She joked, "What do you know? I think it looks good. By the way, what did you say just now that was not good?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Zhu Zi slapped her head, annoyed at her digression, and immediately started talking about her main task in a serious manner: "The Queen Mother or something is here again, saying that the Queen Mother has invited me, but I see that her expression is not as serious as before. Moreover, she didn't even give Sister Zhu Ying face, and ignored me when I invited her to have tea, but just urged me impatiently. I guess this time she is here with bad intentions, so Princess should be careful and guard against it."

Wan Ning didn't expect this either. She quickly reviewed everything she had done recently in her mind to make sure she hadn't done anything outrageous. So she waved her hand and joked, "It's probably menopause. I'm in a bad mood. Besides, it's a blessing in disguise. I'll go take a look."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and was about to walk out, but Zhu Zi stopped her and asked with difficulty, "Princess, why don't you change your clothes? This one is really not worthy of your status as a princess."

Wan Ning smiled and asked, "Aren't you in a hurry? Besides, although my clothes are not elegant and luxurious, they are simple and generous. Did Madam say anything?"

Zhu Zi shook her head and said, "She only said that the Queen Mother invited her, and didn't say anything else."

"Since you are here to see the Queen Mother, it's alright, let's go."

The two walked briskly and soon met the maid in the front hall. The maid was indeed more serious than usual, but she didn't say much when she saw Wan Ning. She just took her to see the Queen Mother. But this road was not to the Buddhist temple, it was a completely unfamiliar direction. Wan Ning stepped forward and asked the maid, "Mammy, isn't this the way to the Buddhist temple?"

"Yes," the nanny said with great care.

"Aren't we going to see the Queen Mother?" Wan Ning asked.

"The Queen Mother has summoned the princess to another place today. Princess Le Yan, please go with me." After the nanny explained, Wan Ning followed behind her obediently, but she was full of doubts in her heart. The Queen Mother has always been a recluse, and it is rare for her to summon someone outside the Buddhist temple. What is wrong with her today?

Even when they got there, the door was closed. Wan Ning went forward to push the door open, but was stopped by the nanny.

"What? You're not going in?", with her hand raised in the air, Wan Ning asked the nanny beside her in surprise.

"Princess, please forgive me. The Queen Mother is meeting with distinguished guests here today. Perhaps she was so happy chatting that she forgot the time. I will go and tell her now. Please wait here first."

Mammy's words were sincere and there was nothing wrong with them. If she forced her way in, it would be inappropriate. So she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes."

How long would it take to pass the message? But the nanny had been gone for almost an incense stick of time and still hadn't come back. Wan Ning was getting impatient and began to grumble in her heart. Especially when the sun rose, the surrounding air was also heated up. It was not a good thing to be exposed to the sun for a long time.

Fortunately, there were two rows of big trees below the steps, forming a row of dense green shade. Wan Ning didn't care about so many rules, she lifted her skirt and tiptoed to hide under the green shade, leaning against the tree trunk to adjust her clothes.

"Where did this little palace maid come from? Why are you slacking off here?" Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind. The tone was not friendly. Wan Ning, who was already unhappy about being accused like this, wanted to fight back on the spot.

"You can't recognize a gold inlaid jade. Open your eyes and see clearly who is standing in front of you!" Wan Ning looked up and saw who it was. He was dressed in white, with a pair of charming light blue fox eyes and a special curly hair. Wan Ning was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "You...you...you curly-haired dog, why are you here?"

"You can be here, so why can't I come? I underestimated you. You could actually sneak into the palace." The little curly-haired boy gave her a thumbs up.

She glanced at him disdainfully and replied, "Same here, what kind of thief are you today?"

"A flower thief." He moved gently, staring at her face seductively, and said, "Because I want to steal your heart."

"Why, you still want to eat people?"
