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

Let’s go back to Wanxuan today. No one can say anything to me.

Ziheng sent people to deliver many delicious foods, but he never showed up.

"Princess, please eat first. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold." Seeing Wan Ning looking towards the door, Wan Tao could not bear to see her wait any longer, so she poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. "If you want to see the emperor, you can stay one more night."

After hearing Wan Tao's suggestion, Wan Ning picked up the soup bowl and drank it all. She wiped the traces on her mouth casually and urged, "Eat quickly, let's eat first. Wan Tao, after dinner, let's pack up and go back to Xiang Wan Xuan. I've recovered and I don't feel any pain at all. If I stay any longer, Shui Yue and the others will be worried."

"Won't you wait any longer? But the princess hasn't said goodbye to the emperor yet." Wan Tao also understood Wan Ning's reluctance.

"No need to wait, no need to wait. We are all in the same palace, it's not like we will never see each other again. There's no need to ask him to come and perform a farewell ceremony. Let's clean up the place after dinner. We have made it a bit messy since we have lived here for the past few days." Wan Ning looked around. This room had a lot more things than when they first arrived, and it was more lively.

"The emperor comes here every day to have breakfast together. Today he must have been delayed by something important..." After this incident, Wan Tao seemed to have become the leader of their CP fans. Seeing that the emperor had not come today, she wanted to explain for him so that it would not affect the relationship between the two.

"Okay, don't explain anymore. I understand. It's just a farewell, it's not a big deal. Look how nice the sunshine is today. Let's take a nice walk on the way back." Wan Ning couldn't help but interrupt Wan Tao and stopped talking about it.

By the time they had packed up and were ready to go out, it was almost noon, but Ziheng still hadn't shown up. The weather was fine, the sky was deep and blue, without a single cloud. But in just a few days, the leaves on the road had turned yellow and fallen, and even a few small trees had become bare. A flock of birds flew in formation from afar, passed over their heads and quickly flew away, leaving Wan Ning standing there to watch them go away, as if she had turned into a bird and participated in a free flight of migration.

"Princess, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the flying birds. The jade steps are empty, and the roosting birds are in a hurry to fly back. Where is the way home? There are long pavilions and short pavilions." Wan Ning paused for a moment with a cold tone, then switched to a cheerful tone and said, "The birds know it's time to go home, so we have to hurry!"

Wan Tao put on the red cape that Ziheng had given her a few days ago and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder. The princess's injuries haven't healed yet, so you must take care of yourself. Birds fly back home, so you must be in good health."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The emperor's bedroom was in the center of the palace, and Xiangwanxuan was in the farthest corner. Although they were both in the palace, they were not close to each other. It took the two of them about an hour to walk and stop. Finally, they turned a narrow and quiet path with bamboos on both sides and arrived at Xiangwanxuan and Yuxi Palace.

As soon as the two set foot on this road, they saw many people standing at the entrance of Xiang Wan Xuan from a distance. They could recognize Zhu Zi, Zhu Ying, Shui Yue, Mu Xiu and his follower Yin Zhu. Zhu Zi was the first one in the crowd to see them. She ran to greet them with great joy. When they met, she took the luggage but complained: "Princess, you are finally back. The Queen Mother actually let you stay in the Buddhist temple for so many days. It was really meaningless when you were not here at Xiang Wan Xuan. We missed you so much. Every day we kept asking when the princess would come back."

"That's right, Princess, when you are not here, Sister Wantao is not here either. I have wiped every tree in Xiangwanxuan because it was too boring. Now they are the cleanest in the palace! I don't care, I will go wherever you go from now on." Shuiyue pretended to be angry and agreed.

"This time it was quite sudden. I didn't expect the Queen Mother would keep me for so long. It must be because I'm too popular! Next time there is an opportunity to worship Buddha like this, I will definitely bring you all with me, okay? How's Persimmon?" Wan Ning teased her, but did not forget the kitten.

"Shizi is here. This kitten eats and sleeps every day, and eats again when it wakes up. It's growing very fast. Princess, Shizi will grow from a kitten to a big cat during the days you were away." Zhu Ying lifted the kitten in her arms and handed it to Wan Ning. The kitten was indeed much bigger than when she left.

"Haha, Shizi is worthy of being an orange cat. He will definitely become a pig in the future. I guess you must have taken good care of him?" Wan Ning asked back.

"It's really good. I wish I could eat eight meals a day. It's so happy to be a kitten. As long as I eat well and go to the toilet well, I will be praised." Zhu Zi added.

"You are so jealous of a kitten. From now on, we will praise you for eating and going to the toilet." Shuiyue joked, "Zi Zi, you are great. Zi Zi, you are great at eating and going to the toilet!"

Zhu Zi embarrassedly covered Shuiyue's mouth, and the two of them played and played and made everyone laugh, the air was filled with laughter.

Surrounded by people, they unknowingly walked to the door of Xiangwanxuan. Mu Xiu was waiting there with a meaningful smile on his face, and his follower Yin Zhu stood one step behind him. It was strange that the two who were usually as close as father and daughter did not see Meng Zhu today. Seeing her passing by, Mu Xiu also imitated the others and joked: "Princess, you are back, but you have made us wait here. If you don't come back, we will plan to go to the Queen Mother to snatch her. The escape plan is almost made!"

Wan Ning was a person who would say ten things in return for one thing, so she refused to let him go and retorted, "I've been waiting for you to pick me up, but you never showed up, so I had no choice but to come back in disgrace. It's strange today, why are there only you and Yin Zhu, but no Meng Zhu?"

Mu Xiu made a gesture of invitation at the door, signaling Wan Ning to come in quickly. He looked as if he was going to his own home and told others to feel free to come in. As he walked, he narrated: "A few days ago, the Queen Mother saw that Meng Zhu was quite attractive, and felt sorry for her being in a foreign country at such a young age without parents to take care of her, so she allowed her to go to the palace school to learn knowledge every day, and to the martial arts training ground to strengthen her body. Oh, and she also had to go to the Buddhist temple to follow the Queen Mother to ring the morning bells and evening drums to cleanse her soul."

Wan Ning only heard the words "cleansing the soul" and hadn't realized what Mu Xiu meant. But she thought that the Queen Mother was the accomplice of the Emperor, so how could she ask others to cleanse their souls? She complained angrily: "The child didn't do anything evil, why does he need to cleanse his soul!"

After he finished speaking, Wan Ning realized that Mu Xiu was hinting at her. Meng Zhu would go to the Buddhist temple to stay with the Queen Mother these days, so Mu Xiu naturally knew that Meng Zhu had not seen Wan Ning in the Buddhist temple. However, Wan Ning just didn't want others to worry, and she didn't intend to hide it from Mu Xiu. But compared to this, Wan Ning was more interested in the resources and channels behind Mu Xiu.

Although Mu Xiu enjoyed himself in Chu State, he was always worried about Meng Zhu, especially since she was only a teenager and her learning and knowledge were limited. If she stayed in the most remote corner of the palace, her upper limit would be here. This time, Mu Xiu only needed to use a little trick to get the Queen Mother to send Meng Zhu to study, write, and practice martial arts. Continuing education also relieved him of one of his worries.

"Prince Mu Xiu is so amazing, how did you do it?" Wan Ning asked.

"What can a proton like me do? It's just that the Queen Mother is happy to see Mengzhu come true. According to Mengzhu, she gets along very well with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother loves her very much. Mengzhu reminds her of the days when she was at home with her sister before she entered the palace."

"Sister? The sister she's talking about is my mother—Concubine Lan? It's really hard for her." Wan Ning thought about how she was poisoned in front of the empress dowager that day, and she never thought of her sister trying to stop it. But now she seemed to miss her sister very much.

Mu Xiu nodded, and they went to the main hall. In order to welcome Wan Ning's return, Zhu Ying and others had already prepared a lot of delicious food in the kitchen, and now they were all served on the table. Everyone also invited Mu Xiu and Yin Zhu to have dinner together, and they sat together, chatting happily.

After a few drinks, Shuiyue suddenly asked mysteriously, "Sisters, do you know what shocking gossip I heard today?"
