"Your Highness." Yan Yuning leaned on his shoulder, choosing her words carefully, "The sun has set, the evening breeze has blown away, and the flowers in the imperial garden have gradually withered..."
"What do you want to say?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Xuan Yanyu." Yan Yuning smiled, "I mean, thank you for everything you have done for me since I met you. I am so so so happy to meet you. I have no choice but to go far away with the evening breeze."
"Yan Yuning, what nonsense are you talking about? Where do you want to float to? And you are helplessly floating along with the evening breeze? I am afraid that you will even make the evening breeze unable to float."
"..." Yan Yuning pulled his ear in dissatisfaction, "Xuan Yanyu, do you think I'm too heavy?"
"No, you are not heavy here, but you are not very heavy in front of Wan Feng?" The man raised his eyebrows, "So, you should stay with me obediently, so as not to implicate Wan Feng."
Yan Yuning: “…”

The next day, at daybreak, Qiu Ci pushed open the bedroom door and saw Yan Yu Ning had already washed up. She was surprised and asked, "Crown Princess, why did you get up so early today?"
Yan Yuning gritted her teeth and said after a while, "Maybe I went to bed early last night."
She got angry when she heard about it. Xuan Yanyu was sick early in the morning and made a fuss. He then went to the morning court at a leisurely pace, which made her unable to sleep well.
"Really?" Qiu Ci showed no disbelief.
"Yes!" Yan Yuning said without any emotion.
"Oh." Qiu Ci bent down slightly, approached Yan Yu Ning and whispered, "Crown Princess, when I went to the Crown Prince's Mansion yesterday to get the embroidered pillow for you, I ran into the Second Madam at the gate of the mansion. She was actually fine."
"Why did she go to the Crown Prince's Mansion?" Yan Yuning dipped some black ink in her hair and drew her eyebrows. She looked at her soft eyebrows and delicate facial features in the bronze mirror and muttered, "Qiu Ci, if Xuan Yanyu wasn't the Crown Prince, would he feel that he was not worthy of me when he saw me every day?"
Qiu Ci's mouth twitched slightly, and she told the truth, "No, if His Royal Highness was of low status, based on His Royal Highness's appearance, he would have been taken away by those noble ladies long ago, and it would not be your turn."
"Ah..." Yan Yu Ning leaned in front of the dressing table and pouted, "Don't speak to Xuan Yanyu today."
"Why?" Qiu Ci squatted down and tidied the makeup box in front of the dressing table.
Yan Yuning closed her eyes, "Because he disturbed my late sleep."
"Crown Princess." Qiuci said nervously, "Didn't you just tell Qiuci that you woke up early because you went to bed early last night? Did you lose your memory?"
Yan Yu Ning opened her eyes and changed the subject, "You said the Second Madam went to the Prince's Mansion? What did she do there?"
That day at the General's Mansion, Lu A'niang kept asking her to go back to the Prince's Mansion. Lu A'niang didn't ask why, but she just insisted that she had to go back to the Prince's Mansion.
She and Xuan Yanyu were just having a quarrel. If it wasn't a quarrel, then Xuan Yanyu must have really done something that she couldn't accept. She would be so sad to hear Lu A'niang say that.
Aunt Lu cared about her only because of her father's instructions...
"Crown Princess, the Second Madam said that you should think of a way to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring the Prime Minister to Xuanzhao." Qiu Ci whispered.
Yan Yuning raised her eyebrows and smiled. Is this why Mother Lu asked her to go back to the Prince's Mansion?
Xuan Yanyu had said long ago that he would bring his father to Xuanzhao when the time was right.
"Crown Princess, the Prime Minister has a doctor by his side, so don't worry. Just mention it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness disagrees, you don't have to force it."
Qiu Ci also warned Qi, "Crown Princess, you must not embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, the Prime Minister is Qi Lan's Prime Minister. If he comes to Xuan Zhao, His Majesty the Emperor Qi will not let it go."
"I know." Yan Yuning pinched Qiuci's nose and smiled with narrowed eyes, "I know quite a lot."
Qiu Ci smiled embarrassedly, "No, it was when I went to see the Prime Minister that the Prime Minister told me that she didn't want you to be involved, for fear that it would implicate you."
