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

"You little bastard, you actually replaced my wine secretly!" Wan Ning clenched her fists quietly and looked at Ziheng with an angry expression.

Ziheng turned his face away guiltily, but his eyes were still on her. After all, the poison in Wan Ning's body had not been completely cleared, and it was indeed not suitable for her to drink at this time, so he had already sent someone to prepare something else for her. Wan Ning misunderstood and thought he was mocking her "bad drinking habits".

When everyone raised their glasses, Prime Minister Du was the first to put his glass down, and his strength made a crisp sound when it hit the table, attracting everyone's attention. Wan Ning quietly looked at Prime Minister Du. This was the first time she saw him in a formal occasion after Du Ruo left. Today, his expression became unhappy as soon as Wan Ning came in, and now he started to "smash the glass" again, which clearly showed that he was unhappy with her.

It is said that Prime Minister Du was very sure that his daughter Du Ruo would become the queen, and he always called himself the father-in-law of the emperor in private. He also trained his daughter with great discipline and prepared her to be the queen and the mother of the country. In other words, Du Ruo has been his most proud work for a long time. Although he was the prime minister, he often felt bitter in his heart. In order to maintain the glory of the Du family, the old prime minister used all his strength to send his mediocre son to the position of prime minister before his death.

On the surface, he is a high-ranking prime minister, respected or feared by others, but he knows his own weight and is afraid of causing a big disaster. He is also afraid of being seen as an empty-headed person and not knowing how people will laugh at him behind his back. However, in order to continue the glory of the Du family inherited from his father, he can only find another way and set his sights on the harem. Sending his daughter to the throne can still ensure the prosperity and wealth of the Du family. Even if he is not in the officialdom one day, the talented people of the Du family can be promoted to revive the glory.

Until Du Ruo eloped, this dream was awakened for the first time, and when Du Ruo left home for the second time, this dream was completely shattered. In the eyes of Prime Minister Du, his always well-behaved daughter was bewitched by Wan Ning and did such a rebellious thing. But even though he hated Wan Ning in his heart, he had to suppress it because of her status as the eldest princess and the support of the emperor.

Forget it, Wan Ning didn't plan to explain. First, Prime Minister Du wouldn't believe what she said, and second, he might think she was being hypocritical. Wan Ning shook her head and looked at Yan Ke, who was sitting next to Prince Qi. She was dressed differently today, with pink everywhere, and even the rouge on her face was pinker than usual. She was very cute, and she waved to Wan Ning secretly under the table, looking very happy.

Wan Ning responded to her with a smile, picked up the wine glass in front of her and clinked it with the other wine glass from a distance. Before she could swallow the wine, she heard Yan Ke questioning Prime Minister Du.

"Is Prime Minister Du in a bad mood? I heard that the beauties sent by the Du family achieved good results in the selection. You should be happy, but if you have any worries, tell him and the emperor will definitely take care of it for you." Yan Ke asked sarcastically.

Prime Minister Du didn't know how to answer when he was suddenly mentioned. He secretly observed the expressions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and saw that neither of them had any intention of smoothing things over. He could only smile awkwardly and raised his glass, saying, "Thank you, Princess Yan Ke, for your concern. I am very happy to be able to attend the banquet to welcome the Tu Mo envoy. But seeing the close relationship between Prince Qi and Princess Yan Ke, I envy you so much."

"Is he thinking about Miss Du Ruo?" Wan Ning saw his sincere expression and could tell that an old father missed his daughter. She couldn't bear it and wanted to say a few words of comfort.

At this time, Prime Minister Du said to the Queen Mother: "I can't help but think of the daughter of the Du family who has been in the palace for a long time. I haven't seen her for some time, and I can't help but miss her."

Wan Ning swallowed the words of comfort again, pursed her lips and felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly. It turned out that the daughter the old man was talking about was not Du Ruo but Liu Qingyu who entered the palace. He was really immersed in the play, and he really treated her as his daughter, but privately he snatched the business of the Liu Mansion and made her biological father mentally unstable. How shameless!

After that, the banquet was completely off topic. It was said to be to welcome the envoy from Tumo, Prince Mu Xun, but in a corner where no one was paying attention, Mu Xun had already secretly drunk the wine in his wine pot and replaced his empty pot with the wine from Mu Xiu next door. He listened halfway and asked in a drunken state, "Prime Minister Du's daughter is in the palace. If you want to see her, just go and see her."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, took over the conversation and looked at Ziheng and said, "Lord Du has raised his daughter very well, and I am very happy with her. No wonder he misses his daughter so much that he wants to see her. Your Majesty, have you ever seen Miss Du?"

Ziheng didn't even turn his head and replied coldly: "I have seen him, at the hunting ground during the autumn hunt."

Wan Ning laughed secretly in her heart. Ziheng's answer was really ruthless to them. Let them act. The real Miss Du was gone. Liu Qingyu could never be the real Miss Du. Even if they covered their heads, someone could still see them.

The Queen Mother was well-informed after all. She turned away without changing her expression and continued to speak politely, "Oh, it's been a while. Maybe I can't remember clearly. It seems that Miss Du needs to visit the Emperor more often."

Ziheng didn't want to hear any more of this, so he brought the topic back to the main track and talked about the purpose of this banquet. He looked at Mu Xun and said, "Prince Mu Xun has been traveling a long way, and Prince Mu Xiu hasn't seen anyone from his hometown for a long time. He must be missing news from his hometown. Does King Tu Mo have any explanation?"

The curly-haired puppy was drinking in a corner where no one cared. He was so happy that he was drunk. Suddenly, he was called and stood up dizzy. He raised his glass and said, "Yes! The king said... The king said... Cheers!"

Wan Ning was both angry and amused at the fact that he was innocent but entrusted with an important task by the king. Why would he choose such an unstable person as an envoy? Thinking about it, Wan Ning smiled secretly at his funny appearance.

"The Tumo envoy has come from afar. The palace has specially prepared a performance. Please enjoy it, Prince." The Queen Mother broke the awkwardness. As soon as she finished speaking, a puff of smoke rolled in from all directions, instantly blurring everyone. At this time, soft gauze floated from all around the roof. As the gauze fluttered, a graceful woman holding a pipa wore a specially designed skirt made of countless exquisite beads. The exquisite beads collided with the swing of her body, producing undulating tones, gradually forming music.

As the woman stood firmly on the floor, the sound of the pipa gradually joined in. She played the pipa and danced to the rhythm, and the beads on her body also shook to produce more harmonious music. Gradually, four gorgeous and graceful dancers appeared in the smoke. They stood up and danced at the same time, following the music and dancing with the woman just now. The light dance steps complemented each other and soon caught the attention of the whole audience. Everyone present held their breath and listened carefully until the end of the song, and the lingering sound lingered in the air, and then they slowly came back to their senses.

Only then did Wan Ning see clearly that the performer was none other than Prime Minister Du's beloved "daughter" - Liu Qingyu.
