"aunt!"

Before Zhu Qing'an entered the Cining Palace, she had already called out to the inside affectionately.

As soon as she left the Shen Mansion, she prepared to go to the palace to have dinner with her aunt. Only when she was with her aunt did Zhu Qing'an feel like a child, carefree and without having to worry about anything.

At this time, Zhu Qingan was jogging with her skirt lifted up, and the skirt fluttered behind her like a fluttering butterfly.

Zhu Qing'an rushed into the hall, and the person he saw at first was not his aunt on the high platform, but the Loyal and Righteous King Bian Jingsheng standing in the hall.

Zhu Qing'an was stunned. She really didn't expect that Bian Jingsheng was also with her aunt, but she was not surprised. After all, her aunt held all the power and often summoned important officials to the Cining Palace.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhu Qing'an immediately let down the hem of her skirt and immediately returned to her usual dignified and steady appearance.

Bian Jingsheng's eyes fell on the pair of red phoenix-wing satin shoes with a pattern of clouds, mists, and water waves. The girl's shoes were delicate and small, and now they were hidden under the hem of the skirt.

Bian Jingsheng hadn't seen Zhu Qing'an so lively for a long time. A look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes and a smile crossed his lips.

Compared to the usually gentle Zhu Qing'an, he prefers to see Zhu Qing'an's lively appearance.

"Princess Yongfu!" Bian Jingsheng bowed.

He has a tall figure, deep and bright eyes, and a face with clear lines, showing a tough look as if it were cut by a knife or an axe.

The Queen Mother on the high platform glanced at the two of them with a knowing look, then waved, "Hello, my Lord! I have important matters to discuss with the King of Loyalty. Please go to the back garden for some tea first!"

Zhu Qing'an nodded. Although she really wanted to stick to her aunt, she always felt uncomfortable when there were outsiders around, not to mention that the person was the imposing Bian Jingsheng.

When leaving through the side door, Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but turn his head back, but met Jingsheng's eyes above.

At this moment, he just looked at Zhu Qing'an, and he didn't know how long he looked at him. A hint of tenderness appeared in his usually cold eyes.

Zhu Qing'an just thought that she had seen it wrong, but at this time, Bian Jingsheng saw Zhu Qing'an's panic-stricken look, and endless smile spread in his eyes.

Zhu Qing'an felt a panic for some reason and quickly looked away, but the moment she looked away, she seemed to see her aunt smiling peacefully at Bian Jingsheng.

She must have seen it wrong, Zhu Qingan shook her head.

Not to mention why Bian Jingsheng looked at me with such eyes, even my aunt was usually very serious and solemn when meeting with important officials. She had never looked at court officials with such gentle eyes.

Although Bian Jingsheng is young, he commands a large number of troops and cannot be described as a junior at all.

"Sheng'er!" The Queen Mother patted the desk with her hand, raising her eyebrows in a teasing smile.

If people knew that the Queen Mother actually addressed the King of Loyalty so affectionately, they would probably be shocked. After all, normally the Queen Mother and the King of Loyalty were the monarch and his subject, and the King of Loyalty was not on the Queen Mother's side.

"Empress Dowager!" Bian Jingsheng quickly came back to his senses, stood up straight, and looked respectful, without any trace of the smiling face he had just had.

"I rarely see you like this. Do you blame me?" The empress dowager stared at Bian Jingsheng, as if she saw the young Bian Jingsheng. Bian Jingsheng at that time was also a well-behaved and lovely child, not as cold and lifeless as he is now.

"Your Majesty, this is too serious. You are my benefactor!" Bian Jingsheng knelt down quickly.

The Queen Mother sighed, glanced at Bian Jingsheng's broad shoulders, stood up and walked down the platform, patting Bian Jingsheng's shoulder lightly with her palm.

"I'm aware of your feelings for Qing'an, but you were not in Ancheng at the time, and the emperor was eyeing Qing'an, so I had no choice but to arrange a marriage for Qing'an!" The empress dowager looked at the door of the hall, her voice somewhat helpless.

Everyone thinks that the current Queen Mother is all-powerful and has connections with everyone, but in fact, she takes every step with trepidation.

Bian Jingsheng lowered his head, his expression filled with a similar sense of helplessness. "Your Majesty understands! Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager. If I were to have any connection with the Princess, it would inevitably cause Your Majesty's fear and suppression! I also understand that Your Majesty is not only doing this for the Princess, but also for Sheng'er!"

"It's amazing that you can see so clearly! You are just like Qing'an, a child with a clear mind and pure eyes! What a pity... What a pity!" The Queen Mother smiled, but her smile was mixed with sadness.

When Bian Jingsheng heard the Queen Mother say "What a pity", his heart ached.

"Empress Dowager, if that fellow from the Shen family treats the princess badly, I will definitely not sit idly by!" Bian Jingsheng said, clenching his fists.

The Queen Mother glanced at Bian Jingsheng. She knew Bian Jingsheng very well and he would not speak without a clue. Since he said that, then something shady must have happened to the Shen family.

The Queen Mother knew better than anyone that even though Bian Jingsheng had feelings for her niece, he had never done anything to take her by force or robbery. It was not because Bian Jingsheng was inherently noble, but because Bian Jingsheng was reluctant to make his niece sad. The ultimate love is respect, not competition.

The Queen Mother did not pay much attention to the marriage between the man from the Shen family and her niece. She only knew that her niece was very satisfied with the young master from the Shen family, so she asked him to come to her side and be the imperial envoy.

But if Shen Shixin doesn't know what's good for him...a faint light flashed in the empress dowager's eyes.

"I know you are sensible in your actions!" The Queen Mother waved her hand. She believed that Bian Jingsheng would not hurt his niece no matter what.

Zhu Qingan waited in the backyard for a while and saw her aunt coming.

"Aunt!" Zhu Qing'an went to greet her in a hurry, and the palace attendant Guan immediately asked the palace servants to prepare dinner.

On weekdays, the Cining Palace is very quiet and the atmosphere is very depressing. Only when Zhu Qing'an is there, everyone in the Cining Palace seems to be happy.

"I heard from Palace Master Guan that you brought someone into the palace today?" After the Queen Mother sat down, she looked at her niece who was like a little bee beside her, and her heart was tense.

"It's true that nothing can be hidden from my aunt!" Zhu Qingan sat beside his aunt and nodded to Fu Guang. But after a while, a middle-aged man with a long black beard walked into the backyard with his head lowered.

The man was carrying an old, white wooden box on his back. He didn't look panicked, nor did he look around. He just knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother knew who the visitor was at a glance.

"Aunt, this man is a very famous miracle doctor among the people. Qing'an invited him here just to take your pulse!" Zhu Qing'an explained.

Even though the imperial physician said that there was nothing wrong with her aunt's body, Zhu Qing'an subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Since it was related to her aunt's health, she did not dare to be careless at all.

Since the imperial physicians in the palace could not find anything, she sent people to search for famous doctors among the people. Now this miracle doctor was even more famous, but he traveled all over the country. Zhu Qing'an spent a lot of effort to bring him to Ancheng.
