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

This time she wanted to bet that the Queen Mother still had her sister in her heart.

The Queen Mother was getting tired of waiting, so she came back from the Buddhist temple. After not seeing her for a few days, her face had become much rosier and she was much calmer. As soon as she saw Wan Ning, she kindly asked someone to change the tea: "Yan'er must be tired of waiting, and the tea is probably a little cold. Mammy, go and make a pot of tea for the princess that the Emperor sent the other day."

"Empress Dowager, you look very good recently, but is there anything happy?" Wan Ning asked with a nervous heart but pretending to be calm. This was the first time she reported a plan to Party A alone.

"Really?" The Queen Mother smiled, touched her face with the back of her hand, and said happily: "Maybe it's because Princess Mengzhu has been with me these days, I can relieve my boredom and feel happy. By the way, Yan'er came here today for Lan'er's memorial banquet?"

Wan Ning stood up and nodded, then saluted very obediently, using a very respectful tone that was almost flattering, and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, you have a keen eye. Nothing can escape your wise and powerful eyes. You can see through my thoughts at once."

"Look at you, you look like you have something on your mind. It's exactly the same as when you were a kid. You haven't changed even now. Everything is written on your face. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing the smug look of the Queen Mother, Wan Ning rolled her eyes in her heart, suppressed the desire to complain, and pretended to be well-behaved. But what she thought in her heart was: "Old woman, I am just pretending. Now I need help from others, so I don't have to pretend to be well-behaved and sensible." But she forced a sweet smile on her face and asked: "Queen Mother, I can only feel relieved when I hear your affirmation on these things."

As she spoke, Wan Ning pulled out a booklet that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Here is the program and food list for the commemorative dinner that we have selected. These are all alternatives. I am really dazzled and don't know which ones are good. Could you please take a look, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother did not take it. Instead, she picked up the teacup beside her and drank a sip of the newly served tea. She waved her hand and asked Wan Ning to take it back: "Just these trivial matters? Since this matter is handed over to you, everything is decided by Yan'er. Whether it is good or bad, it is up to you. You don't have to ask me about this kind of thing in the future. It seems that you didn't remember anything I taught you when you were a child. You must remember it well next time."

Wan Ning agreed readily. Now that she had heard the Queen Mother's words, even if she did something wrong it would only be a matter of her ability and not her attitude.

"Le Yan, remember this. Since I am fully responsible for this matter, I will never bother the Queen Mother with these matters in the future."

"This is my royal daughter!"

"But I still have one thing I want to ask the Queen Mother for her decision on." As soon as the Queen Mother finished praising him, Wan Ning pretended to be conflicted and asked guiltily, "I still have one thing I want to ask for your opinion on regarding the memorial event for Concubine Lan, which is..."

"How come you forgot what I just said?" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

Wan Ning apologized, saying word by word: "It's my fault. I didn't remember the Queen Mother's words. The Queen Mother said that I am fully responsible for this matter, and she agreed with all the decisions I made."

The Queen Mother nodded, then shook her head.

Wan Ning looked at her nervously, thinking that the Queen Mother had not suddenly changed her mind. She said with a sullen look, "There is one thing I don't agree with. Lan'er is your mother. She risked her life to give birth to you. You must not disappoint her and make her sad."

Wan Ning was speechless for a moment and nodded subconsciously. She was increasingly unsure of the Queen Mother's position. In the past, she only thought that she was the "lackey" of the Emperor Retired, without her own thoughts and always putting the Emperor Retired's affairs first; she watched helplessly as the Emperor Retired designed to stun Le Yan, and now she was getting close to her again, as if that incident had never happened.

Things went much more smoothly than she had imagined, and her steps became lighter as she walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace. Before entering the palace, she put on a thick layer of "shackles" for herself, subconsciously thinking that this was a difficult or impossible task. When she really had the courage to do it, she found that it was much easier than she had imagined.

There was less than half a month left before the memorial dinner, and she would probably have to focus all her energy on this matter during this period. On the way back to Xiang Wanxuan, she was also thinking about how to express her remembrance of Concubine Lan. Passing by a pavilion, she happened to see two palace maids playing with shadow puppets in their hands. She was startled at first, and then an idea flashed in her mind.

After buying the two puppets from the palace maid, Wan Ning went straight back to Xiang Wan Xuan. The sisters were all carrying out their assigned tasks and were nowhere to be seen. Only Mu Xiu was sitting in the courtyard drinking. However, Wan Ning was lost in thought and did not notice Mu Xiu even when she passed by him.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiu wanted to amuse her, and quietly walked behind her and patted her shoulder. She was so shocked that her eyes widened immediately, and she almost jumped up from the ground. She turned around with a glare to seek revenge, but then she found that it was Mu Xiu. She thought he was unintentional and was no longer angry. Instead, she smiled heartily and said angrily, "How childish."

"It's obviously you who is timid, what are you holding in your hand?" Mu Xiu pointed his index finger at what was in Wan Ning's hand. Because they were close to each other, Mu Xiu's finger slipped past Le Yan's eyes. For the first time, she passively looked at his hand carefully. It was slender with distinct knuckles, white and shaped, just like what was written in the textbook: "fingers like peeled onion roots."

"Your body seems to be quite good!" His eyes moved up along the finger until his eyes met its position. "Compared to the previous Boss Jiang, this one seems to be no worse."

"Then I am still taking advantage? I am asking what is this in your hand." Mu Xiu thanked calmly, and then continued to remind Wan Ning of his problem.

She looked at her own hands, then raised the leather in her hand so that he could see it clearly: "Isn't this a shadow puppet? Listen to me, I just thought of a great idea. Come closer and listen to me?"

Although he was confused, Mu Xiu still leaned over and listened to Le Yan obediently, "Go ahead."

"If you want to know, you will know in a few days. Just focus on investigating the whereabouts of Princess Le Yan. It would be best if you could bring her to the party so that the mother and daughter can recognize each other."

Because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear, Mu Xiu rolled his eyes and then stood up straight and said, "I knew you didn't have anything good to say."

Wan Ning patted his chest and said provocatively: "Prince Mu Xiu, just wait and see. I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm going to retreat now. If you have anything to discuss, please wait until I come out of retreat."

After that, regardless of the doubt on Mu Xiu's face, she walked around him and returned to the room. Before closing the door, she specifically told no one to disturb her. She tried to analyze Lan Fei's life experience and personality, and tried to use herself as a container, first to "clean up" her own thoughts, and then to accept Lan Fei's "soul" and experience Lan Fei's experience with her thoughts.

At the beginning, she couldn't get into the role. She always looked at Pei Lan's life from Su Wanning's perspective. She felt a little regretful and frustrated. Fortunately, when everything was quiet, when she "experienced" Pei Lan's experience in her own way, her souls seemed to be connected at a certain moment. She sat blankly at the table, tears falling uncontrollably, leaving a warm temperature on the back of her hand. She touched her cheek with her hand woodenly, and then looked at her wet fingers stained with tears, and belatedly asked: "Why am I crying?"
