Chapter 37: Nianying: This is not right
Cheng Nianying's heart skipped a beat, but her good training helped her stay steady.
She was drunk, how could she answer, right?
Cheng Nianying's eyelids didn't even move.
The room fell into silence and Fu Yi did not speak again.
Cheng Nianying's thoughts gradually fell into the depths, and she actually fell asleep.

Prince Kang's Palace.
The Crown Prince's Consort raised her hand to remove her husband's outer robe, whispering, "He didn't even show up at the palace banquet today. He must be very ill. Should I go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow to deliver some gifts?"
Prince Kang, Fu Cheng, Fu Yi's eldest brother, asked sternly, "Do you believe his condition has really worsened?"
"He simply discovered that someone dared to assassinate even the emperor, let alone him. He has acted so arrogantly in recent years that even His Majesty's own children have to avoid him. Many people hate him."
The Crown Prince's wife softened her voice: "Your Highness, do you mean that he intends to hide?"
"Yes." Fu Cheng patted his wife's hand, "The gift still needs to be delivered. No one can find fault with it."
Fu Cheng walked over to the bed and sat down, then asked, "You also met the daughter of the Marquis of Wuning today. What do you think of her?"
The Crown Princess hesitated and said, "As the Queen said, she is a beauty."
Fu Cheng still had a stern face: "Appearance is just external, what's there to talk about?"
"When we were in the boudoir, our circles of interaction didn't overlap, and we haven't been able to speak to each other today, so naturally there's no point in discussing this." The Crown Prince's Consort paused. "But I've noticed she's very quiet. Even when she's sitting next to Princess Zhaoning, she doesn't show any expression."
"Not smart enough." Fu Cheng commented.
He then added, "It's also a bit rude. Father and mother were both here, but when he left the palace, he was in such a hurry, without even saying hello."
Fu Cheng shook his head: "Not even as good as you."
The Crown Princess couldn't help but lower her head and smiled subtly.
"Although Fu Yi established his own residence and was granted the title of Prince of a County, he ultimately left the palace of Prince Kang. As Fu Yi's wife, if she behaves inappropriately in the future, it may bring trouble to the palace. You are the eldest sister-in-law, so teach her more when you go there tomorrow."
The Crown Princess responded.
The couple then went to bed.
Who knew that when I woke up the next day, I heard that the Princess of the County had been assassinated.
Fu Cheng frowned even more tightly: "Fu Yi is in a lot of trouble!"
The Crown Prince's wife had to add some gifts temporarily before taking them to the Prince's Mansion.
"The Princess hasn't stood up yet." The palace maid was embarrassed.
The Crown Prince's Consort was stunned. What time is it now? Oh, that's right. Here, a Princess of a County Prince doesn't have any mother-in-law to serve. Even if she sleeps until noon, no one will care.
The Crown Prince's Consort pinched the handkerchief in her palm and said with a smile, "Nothing, I'll wait a little longer. By the way, why don't you see Miss Muhe?"

Cheng Nianying just opened her eyes, and the first thought that came to her mind was that she felt refreshed.
It can be seen that what was drunk at the banquet was indeed wine, not something else mixed with something else.
"Are you sober?" she heard Fu Yi ask.
Cheng Nianying sat up and heard Fu Yi laugh again, "You slept very deeply."
Yes, I slept very well.
There are few times as good as this.
Cheng Nianying raised her hand to push aside the curtains and stepped onto the ground barefoot. Then she heard Fu Yi say, "Put on your shoes."
Cheng Nianying didn't feel annoyed at all after hearing these instructions. Instead, she liked them very much.
Like home.
She lowered her head to look for her shoes.
By this time, the palace maid had already found her quickly and took out her outer garment to wrap her in. After washing up, she walked around the screen and saw Fu Yi sitting in front of the window, already dressed.
There is also a Schima superba standing nearby.
"Is Miss Muhe okay?" Cheng Nianying asked first.
Mu He bowed and said, "It was just a shock. She'll be fine after taking some medicine. Mu He's been sick for the past few days and it has really delayed many affairs of the mansion."
Cheng Nianying thought to herself that it was good that she was fine, and comforted her by the way: "It didn't delay anything."
Mu He's smile almost froze.
Cheng Nianying stretched out her hand: "Where's my amulet?"
Mu He's expression became even stiffer.
She gritted her teeth secretly and turned to look at Fu Yi. She didn't stay with her for long...
Fu Yi said at this time: "Go back and get it."
Mu He was confused, but she could only bow as she was told and then retreat.
Wu Xun followed at this time: "Follow me."
Mu He bit her lip.
It's still with its owner. Why would someone play with an amulet for so long?
Fu Yi ordered someone to bring breakfast.
While waiting for the meal, he also expressed his concern for Cheng Nianying: "Do you have a headache now that you're sober?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"There is also some wine in the mansion that was sent from the palace. If you like, you can ask someone to bring some over."
Cheng Nianying was confused for a moment: "Drinking... in the morning?"
Fu Yi: "...it's not too early."
"What time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
As he was speaking, breakfast was served and Mu He returned with the amulet.
Placing it on the soft silk, Cheng Nianying even touched it twice.
"Why does it seem a little strange?" Cheng Nianying took the amulet in her hand and turned it around.
Fu Yi didn't even blink: "What's so strange?"
Cheng Nianying: "The thread...has become new?"
Fu Yi turned to look at Mu He: "Have you washed?"
Mu He was stunned and couldn't respond for a moment.
Wu Xun was sweating a little beside him. So perceptive? He even noticed the line had been switched?
Cheng Nianying flipped through it again: "There's something strange about the thread ends too."
Fu Yi: "Oh?"
Cheng Nianying: "The thread ends are very beautifully connected. It wasn't so beautiful before."
Wu Xun sweated even more. Was it his fault for hiring a top-notch embroiderer?
Fu Yi asked Mu He again: "Did you take the wrong one?"
Cheng Nianying continued, "I think you got it right. I see the Sanskrit on it hasn't changed. It's just that the thread is wrong. Did you sew it again?"
Wu Xun was truly shocked and at the same time he was filled with awe and respect for her.
Cheng Nianying said: "The previous thread is a bit old, and some places are broken..."
Fu Yi then readily replied, "Since you've figured it out, I asked the embroiderer to sew it again."
Cheng Nianying: "Oh." She pursed her lips and smiled happily: "I said, I will definitely not be wrong!"
Then she looked at Fu Yi: "Thank you."
Wu Xun: “…”
The tension just now seemed like a joke.
Fu Yi rubbed his fingertips calmly and suddenly said, "Before, I was afraid that you would dislike me taking the initiative, so I wanted to exchange it for the gold thread."
"Gold thread?" Cheng Nianying wanted.
Fu Yi said slowly, "How about changing it again, to gold thread?"
Cheng Nianying agreed immediately: "Okay!"
Wu Xun was truly impressed. Looking at the Princess again, she seemed even more adorable. His master, on the other hand, seemed more like a villain who played with people's hearts.
At this time, Cheng Nianying finally remembered that she was holding the purse that she had not given yet. She stood up and said, "I also have something to give to the prince."
Fu Yi became interested: "What is it?"
Wu Xun felt a pang of anger as he watched the scene. He felt more and more that something was wrong.
