The hint of favor may come late, but it will never be absent.

Lan Ning smiled and said, "Why do you ask? Does someone hate him?" She never forgot her innocent character, and her eyes were so clear that Yu Mo felt embarrassed.

"Yes." Yumo answered honestly, "The child was rejected by many parties because of the scar on his face, but as a mother, I always want to find a home for him."

There is no shortage of appearance-related issues in any world.

Lan Ning sneered, "There are many people in the world who look like fairies, but if they have a heart as poisonous as a scorpion, they are still ugly and despised. If you act honestly and punish evildoers, what does it matter if you don't look good?"

She picked up the tea on the table and said, "I am ugly, but the prince and my father are still very kind to me. This shows that people in the world don't always judge people by appearance."

Lan Ning saw Yu Mo was about to cry again, and hurriedly comforted her: "To put it another way, these are traces and also growth. Every scar left on my body has taught me a lesson, and I think the scars on the general's face are the same."

Hearing this, Yumo's eyes became even moister. What a smart child! If this was her own child, anyone who dared to hurt him would be killed!

"I heard that you have been asking the Empress to execute Princess Furou. Perhaps we can help." Yu Mo hinted, she lowered her eyes and looked at the baby in her arms. The longer she lived in Wanjing City, the more news she heard made her spine shiver.

How can a person who disregards the feelings of siblings for her own selfish desires become an empress? I'm afraid that when she ascends the throne, no baby girls will be allowed in the entire Wanjing!

Lan Ning: "The Queen will not execute Furou, she is her daughter who grew up under her care. They have never experienced the feeling of a loved one turning cold in their arms, and they are all urging me to keep quiet."

"I think it's ridiculous. Furou cut my throat that day, and I don't even know how I escaped from the dungeon. I could have died anywhere in Wanjing City, but I didn't want to."

"I just hope the Empress won't interfere. Whether or not you can kill Furou personally is up to me, but whether or not you can survive my pursuit depends on Furou's ability."

However, that woman is now pregnant. If she gives birth to a royal heir, her position will be more secure. If she wants to break this situation, she has to make some noise at the Fuji Banquet.

Yumo looked at Lan Ning quietly. She felt that this little princess was really different.

She was thin and weak and looked powerless, but her aura and the sharpness in her words could not be ignored. During several conversations, Yumo felt that she was not like the arrogant and crybaby daughter of Bian Zhao.

Lan Ning is more like a sleeping cheetah. Now that she has awakened, she will keep a close eye on her prey, looking for an opportunity to kill it with one blow.

Lan Ning did not accept this recommendation, but Yu Mo was not discouraged. During her stay in the Regent's Palace, she also observed how Xuan Heng and Lan Ning got along with each other.

What if it wasn’t said that some things really depend on luck?

If it was Jing Ye who appeared near the palace gate that night, she wouldn't have to worry. While Lan Ning was taking a nap, she would also go and knock on Jing Ye, "You have to seize this good opportunity. There is no other girl in the world as sensible as Your Highness Lan Ning."

Jing Ye stared at the koi in the pond expressionlessly. He knew it very well, but he didn't dare.

The terror he caused outside was not just his scary appearance. The messy titles given to him by the people alone could scare a child to tears. Lan Ning was so petite and pure, he could not be as comfortable as Xuan Heng, and he was afraid that he would scare Lan Ning.

"Don't worry, I know." Jing Ye calmed down his chattering mother. He then sat under the porch holding his little sister who had just woken up. The light child in his arms was like a piece of thin paper to him.

The wolf people value friendship and loyalty. They can give everything for the tribe, and they also appreciate people who are the same as them.

Jing Ye recalled that he first met Lan Ning in Penglai Palace. At that time, Lan Ning had a desperate spirit. After spending the past few days together, he understood the little princess's persistence better.

The person closest to him and whom he cared about the most died in his arms, and the warmth gradually turned cold. He had experienced that feeling before, so he could understand Lan Ning's desire for revenge.

To her, neither Bian Zhao nor the Empress were the closest to her. Only those royal heirs who had long since died ranked first in her heart. Now she was afraid that Xuan Heng would have to be added to the list.

Jing Ye curled the corners of his mouth. His mother had given him a difficult order this time. Competing with the Regent for people was much more difficult than fighting on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Jing Ye couldn't help but touch the scar on his eye again. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Narcissus Pavilion. A worried expression gradually appeared on his serious face.

[Jing Ye's favorability +2, total favorability: 25. ]

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the Fuji Banquet.

Lan Ning was called by Yu Mo early in the morning to get dressed up. Yu Mo was a kind-hearted person. She did not mind the ugly scars on Lan Ning's body at all. On the contrary, as a woman, she was particularly good at dressing up, and she looked much better than the puppet palace maids.

"Puppet palace maids are convenient, but they are ultimately controlled by magic and cannot replace living people." Yumo found that Lan Ning was particularly suitable for the blue glass skirt, so she asked people to buy her various styles.

Yumo's daughter, who had not grown up yet, was close to Lan Ning at the moment, and she was determined to dress her up beautifully. After Lan Ning changed her clothes, she happily circled around Lan Ning several times, "It would be better if her hair was longer."

Lan Ning's cat ears moved. She looked at her hair in the mirror. The hair that was cut by Xuan Heng had grown to an awkward size after two months of growth. It couldn't be tied up, and it didn't fit with a hairpin if it was let down. She had no choice but to hang two strings of pearls next to the cat ears, which still looked acceptable.

"This is not bad." The marks on her face faded a little, and with the extra strength replenished during this period, the broken marks on the two inner elixirs were repaired. She felt that she was terribly strong now!

Yumo nodded, "They all look good."

Lan Ning stood up, holding up the hem of her skirt. "Let's go, then. We can't be late for the big day."

——Rui Terrace.

Early in the morning, the area was crowded with people who came to watch the fun.

"This time the hair-raising banquet is so grand. It turns out that the royal family is the most impressive when it comes to pregnancy. I wonder if it's a prince or a princess."

"I heard that many princesses of the royal family were killed by Princess Furou. This pregnancy saved her life."

"Don't talk nonsense. The order has come down. Princess Furou didn't do that. If you keep talking nonsense, watch out for your head!"

Fu Rou, who was at the center of public opinion, arrived very early. She was accompanying Yan Xuan. At this moment, she was sitting in the banquet hall of Rui Terrace, her eyes fixed on the seat directly opposite her.

She was about to see Lanning again, the crazy woman who almost killed her.

Furou couldn't help but touch her neck. There were still a few pink marks left on it, all left by Lan Ning.

On the way out of the palace, she heard a lot of discussions about herself among the people. It was not difficult to guess who was behind this incident.

When Fu Rou thought of Xuan Heng, her mind was full of questions. Is it worth it for Xuan Heng to deal with her just because Lan Ning has nothing?
