Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

When Wang Yuening woke up, her body was wrapped in bandages. Junlan had been dragged away and never returned. Zizhu was serving her. Seeing that Wang Yuening had woken up, she quickly poured her a cup of water. "Your Highness, you're awake. Please have some water."

Wang Yuening looked around and realized that Junlan was gone. "Where's Junlan?"

Zizhu: "Sister Junlan has been dragged away, and her fate is now unknown."

They even dared to lay a hand on her head maid, they simply didn't take her seriously. Wang Xiaolian was going too far. Wang Yuening took a sip of ginseng water and said, "Take me to see my mother."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zizhu instinctively concealed the fact that Wang Tianzheng had Junlan dragged away, creating the illusion that her prince was still favored.

Wang Yuening's leg was dislocated. Even after Dr. Li set it, it was still in pain. Now, she was in pain all over her body. Every sway of the sedan chair was enough to make Wang Yuening cry out in pain.

Zizhu could only instruct the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to be extremely careful in order to minimize Wang Yuening's suffering.

Wang Yuening: "Zizhu, tell them to hurry up, I need to see the Empress Dowager as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair knew that Wang Yuening had fallen out of favor, but they dared not show any contempt for her, fearing that if they did not perform well, she would disappear from this cannibalistic palace the next day.

Upon hearing Princess Lin'an's report, the Empress immediately ordered someone to welcome Wang Yuening inside. Since the collapse of Wutong Palace, the Empress had been living in the main hall of Fangfei Pavilion, sharing a room with an unfavored beauty.

The environment of Fangfei Pavilion was far inferior to that of Wutong Palace. As soon as Wang Yuening walked into the courtyard, she couldn't help but frown. How could the Empress Dowager live in such a place?

The smell in the bedroom in the main hall was even more unbearable for Wang Yuening. It was full of the smell of medicine, and the windows were tightly closed. The Empress was lying on the bed with a deathly pale face.

Wang Yuening endured the smell and had herself carried to the Empress's bedside. She said coquettishly, "Mother, that bitch Wang Xiaolian bullied me."

People in the palace are all heartless. The Empress never expected Wang Yuening to be so cold-blooded. The first thing she did upon arriving at Fangfei Pavilion was to complain, rather than to care about her injuries. She said indifferently, "Lin'an, you've grown up. You should be able to handle things yourself."

"You should go back now. I need to rest. The palace isn't suitable for you. You should return to your Guanyin Temple as soon as possible."

Wang Yue Ning sensed the Empress's unfriendly tone. "Mother, I know I was wrong. I will always stay by your side. I will definitely avenge you."

The Empress closed her eyes. She had already heard from the palace maids about what happened that day. Wang Xiaolian was no longer human; she couldn't even handle her. Wang Yuening should stay far away as soon as possible. The Empress softened her tone and said, "Yuening, go back to your Guanyin Temple."

We should leave tomorrow morning before His Majesty changes his mind.

No, hurry up and send the young man from the Yan family to propose marriage. You will stay at the Yan family's residence, and your mother will take care of the arrangements.

The Empress went to great lengths to prevent Wang Yuening from going on the marriage alliance, but whether Wang Yuening understood these plans or not is another matter.

Upon hearing that she was to be married off in a humiliating manner, Wang Yuening immediately became unhappy. "Mother, I will not marry. I want to stay by your side forever."

The Empress was truly exhausted. She said to the palace maid, "Draft an edict to invite Lady Yan to the palace tomorrow morning. I have important matters to discuss with her."

Seeing that the Empress had made up her mind, Wang Yuening said, "Mother, you said that I can choose my own husband."

"Yuening, things are different now. The envoy is asking for the marriage of a princess of the dynasty, so a princess must be married off. You should get engaged first, and then cancel the engagement after the envoy leaves."

Upon hearing the Empress's explanation, Wang Yuening whispered, "Mother, wouldn't it be better to just have Wang Xiaolian marry into a foreign power? Why go through all this trouble?"

Empress: "Stay away from Wang Xiaolian from now on. She may not be human anymore."

"Mother, let's find a Taoist priest to exorcise Wang Xiaolian and eventually drive her out of the palace..." Wang Yuening felt more and more that this was feasible, and prepared to order the palace maids to find the abbot of the Guanyin Temple.

"Don't go, Yue Ning, go back to the palace. Someone, escort Princess Lin'an back."

Several palace maids carried Wang Yuening out of the palace. The Empress opened her eyes, thought of Wang Yuening's personality, and instructed Cailing, "Have someone keep an eye on the princess. If she tries to find anyone from outside the palace, intercept her on the way."

"Yes, ma'am."

Hopefully, Madam Yan won't refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences. However, there are so many eligible young men in the capital. Even without Yan Qingxun, there would be young men from the Su, Li, and Gao families.

Xiong Bufan was having dinner at Chang Le Palace. Yue Yan was really good at handling things. She knew that she hadn't made the wrong choice when selecting the mission.

After the meal, Yueyan cooked a pot of hawthorn tea for Xiong Bufan to help him digest the large amount of food in his stomach.

It was autumn, and Xiong Bufan sat on a swing looking at the stars. Yueyan and several palace maids chased away mosquitoes for Xiong Bufan. Since Wang Tianzheng appeared during the day, he had sent some rewards again in the evening.

After Xiong Bufan put the gold and silver into his spatial storage, he asked Yueyan to find a place to hang up the other calligraphy and paintings. He also put the porcelain back into his spatial storage for Kongkong to play with, fearing that it would be damaged and lose its value.

Yueyan kept the disappearance of gold and silver a secret. She knew that their Princess Anning was no ordinary person, and she wanted to keep the fact that her mistress was not an ordinary person a secret as much as possible.

Empty-handed, he wiped the porcelain with a small silk handkerchief. If he could take these back to the mountains, they could be used as containers for water. There weren't so many exquisite treasures in the mountains.

After wiping all the porcelain, Kongkong nestled on the soft cushion and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Madam Yan took Yan Qingxun to the palace.

Late at night, the Empress issued an imperial decree summoning her to the palace. Recalling what Grand Tutor Yan had said about the marriage alliance, Madam Yan thought for a moment and realized that the Empress was choosing a consort for Princess Lin'an. Yan Qingxun liked Princess Lin'an, and Madam Yan didn't mind going along with it.

As Yan Qingxun walked towards the palace, he asked, "Mother, does Her Majesty the Empress have summoned you to the palace for something?"

Lady Yan: "Qingxun, be careful what you say. You must not run around after entering the palace."

"Yes, mother."

As soon as Yan Qingxun arrived at the palace, he said he was going to find the Third Prince, while Madam Yan went to find the Empress alone.

What's the point of those princes who are more cunning than a sieve? He was going to find his sister Yue Ning. Yan Qingxun ran all the way to the Imperial Garden, walked to the place where the group often gathered, and sat down quietly.

A furtive eunuch arrived at the entrance of Chang Le Palace and gently knocked on the back door. A strange palace maid opened the door. "What do you want?"

The young eunuch took out a piece of silk from his bosom and said, "Good sister, Young Master Yan sent me to deliver this to the princess."

Qingge: "Okay."

Xiong Bufan's formal investiture ceremony had not yet begun, so many young masters were unaware that the master of Chang Le Palace had changed, thus creating a beautiful misunderstanding.
