Feng Ning Yan turned her head to look at Yu Qing's smile and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Although Yuqing was smiling, Feng Ningyan felt that this smile didn't resemble that of a Buddhist disciple because a sharp light was hidden in her eyes.

"Yes, I'll have to trouble Master Yuqing." She answered perfunctorily, and returned to the abbey with a pair of dustpanes.

When she returned to her room, she saw that the bath water had already been prepared. The new tub was emitting a faint wooden fragrance and was covered in a dense fog. She couldn't stand the sweat anymore and quickly ordered Lan Zhu to help her.

After sweating profusely, to be able to take a comfortable bath was beyond comfortable.

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but fall asleep again as she leaned against the side of the barrel, while Lan Zhu hurriedly tried to wake her up.

"Princess, you can't fall asleep again. Your cold has not recovered yet. If I let you know, your heart would definitely ache again. Quickly wash your sweat and come out."

Feng Ningyan helplessly shook her head. "You're the maid that I'm accompanying. Why do you only listen to the words of the prince?"

Lan Zhu smiled. "If you had seen how the Prince took care of you by your bedside when you were sick, you wouldn't have said that."

Feng Ningyan's heart was filled with sweetness. She also knew how nervous and protective Shen Lingjue was. She smiled and said, "So it turns out that you're feeling sorry for your highness, not me."

"Miss …" Lan Zhu pouted and said, "You are becoming more and more jealous, even this servant has to be jealous!"

Feng Ning Yan laughed heartily. She raised her hand, wanting to tickle Lan Zhu with her chin. However, she suddenly felt that there was someone outside the window.

"Who is it!" Startled, she quickly ducked under the water.

Upon hearing that, Ah Yao quickly opened the back window. He looked around, but didn't see anyone. He only saw a few short trees beside the wall swaying in the wind.

"Esteemed wangfei, are your eyes playing tricks on you? Maybe the leaves are drifting past, or maybe there's a shadow of a tree outside? "

Feng Ningyan was also a bit unsure. After all, she and Lan Zhu had been too focused on chatting just now and hadn't paid any attention to it.

Was the figure he saw out of the corner of his eye really a tree shadow?

"Perhaps I was overthinking it …" She hesitated, then said, "This is a nunnery, who would be able to peek at a woman bathing?"

"Cough, cough …" A'Yao's face reddened. "If I knew that wangfei was taking a bath inside, I'd think of a way to peek …"

Feng Ningyan stared blankly. She could not help but smile. "Ah Yao, you …"

At this moment, a melodious zither sound suddenly came from outside the window.

Feng Ningyan's breath stagnated on her chest, and she couldn't help but look out the window with furrowed brows.

Even though there was only a tall wall outside, she knew that Shen Ling Jue was in the direction from which the zither music came from, playing the zither for her.

he said, hearing his music as if he were beside her...

A slight flush appeared on Feng Ning Yan's face.

That distant and elusive zither music that was difficult to capture seemed to unwittingly affect her thoughts.

In less than a day, she had begun to want to see him.

That night, the zither music was faint as it accompanied Feng Ning Yan to sleep, causing the night in the mountain to lose a bit of its coolness and warmth.

The next day is still the same life, the dawn to get up to take morning class, chanting scripture Buddha to add perfume oil, sprinkling the courtyard.

However, Yuqing had arranged more things than she had done on the first day. In order to ensure that Ah Yao and Lan Zhu wouldn't help her, she would appear from time to time to keep an eye on Feng Ningyan.

Lan Zhu and Ah Yao hated this nosy Yu Qing to death. However, when Feng Ning Yan heard Shen Ling Jue's music, her temper improved. Not only did her smile change, it even contained a trace of gentleness.

However, she had promised Shen Lingjue that she would visit Cloudsoaring Mountain. Because of the complicated work arranged by Yuqing, she couldn't even get out of the monastery.

This day felt like a long year.

What she did not expect was that on the morning of the third day, before dawn, someone from the palace knocked on the door.

It was the eunuch from the empress dowager's palace who came with the empress dowager's order to pass on the news of Feng Ning's arrival to the palace.

When Feng Ningyan heard this, the empress dowager spread the news and couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Yu, the empress dowager summoned this wangfei to the palace in a hurry. Did something happen? "Is it the empress dowager's body …"

"The empress dowager is in good health!" "Yu Wangfei, the empress dowager has ordered you to enter the palace immediately. You can ride your horse and return with this servant. The longer you delay, the worse it will be."

Feng Ning Yan didn't even take off her nanny suit, leaving Lan Zhu and Ah Yao to pack their bags as she followed her father-in-law down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a palanquin waiting for her, as well as sixteen imperial guards, who had been left behind to protect her.

Feng Ningyan didn't know what was going on in the palace. The empress dowager couldn't wait three days, so she hastily summoned her.

Her heart was in turmoil as she played with the buddhist beads on her wrist, praying that the empress dowager would be safe and sound …

Upon reaching the palace gates, the guards of the palace could no longer follow Feng Ningyan. The head guard lowered the sedan chair and said to Feng Ningyan, "Princess, there's no need to worry. This lowly servant has already sent someone to deliver a letter back to Prince Yu's estate."

Feng Ning Yan nodded and quickly entered the palace.

Arriving outside the Ten Thousand Blessings Palace, she saw that there were many more Imperial Guards outside the door than usual. Her heart thumped as she felt an intense sense of foreboding.

Eunuch Yu saw that she had stopped to hesitate and urged, "Esteemed wangfei, hurry up. The emperor and empress dowager are both waiting."

The Emperor came as well?

Feng Ning Yan was even more silent as she walked in.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she realized that the peace and tranquility that was normally present in the Palace today was gone.

The Emperor sat in the center of the throne room, and the Empress sat on the left.

On the right was Imperial Concubine Su. Now, she should change her name to Imperial Concubine Fu.

The palace maids and eunuchs trembled as they stood to one side. It seemed that before Feng Ningyan had entered, there had already been a violent storm.

Even now, Feng Ningyan still did not know what had happened. She cautiously walked forward and kowtowed.

"Chenqie pays her respects to the emperor, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine."

The empress dowager looked at Feng Ning Yan. Although she didn't express any obvious expression, her hands were shaking inside her sleeves.

Imperial Concubine Fu looked at the empress dowager and emperor, then at Feng Ningyan kneeling on the ground, but didn't dare to say a word.

"Stand up and reply." The emperor's tone was very heavy. It was not like before, where he said, "Exempt from formalities, rise from the ground."

Feng Ningyan gradually began to understand that it wasn't something that happened in the palace. Even if something happened, it was because of her.

She stood up slowly and stood nervously.

When the empress dowager saw her standing there helpless, she couldn't help but ask, "Princess Yufei, if I ask you, you have to answer truthfully."

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help raising her head to look at the empress dowager, but discovered that the empress dowager was unexpectedly solemn. She hastily replied, "If the empress dowager has anything to ask, your grandson will definitely speak it out … I wonder what the empress dowager would like to ask? "

The empress dowager was angry and disappointed. "You …" "You replied to This Dowager, when will you get married to Yuwangyuan?"

When Feng Ning Yan heard this question, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"This... "It should be the day after our wedding …"

"Should!?" The empress dowager couldn't help but grow angry. "For a woman, you can't remember such an important day?"

"It is indeed the second day!" When Feng Ningyan saw the empress dowager suddenly turn anxious, she quickly changed her words.

The empress dowager gave her a glare that made her speechless. After a long while, she asked, "Then this Dowager will ask you again, is your palace guard still there?"

What!

When Feng Ningyan heard these three words, she was stunned, as if she was thunderstruck from a clear sky.
