But Yu Yun paid no heed or pity; all he wanted was to return to Dongxia, for he had many important things to do.
Half a month later, Dongxia finally arrived, and Yingning was settled in a temporary palace outside the palace, where she spent a rare period of peaceful life.
During this time, the princes were vying for power, and no one paid attention to Yingning's affairs.
A month later, Yu Yun suddenly visited and proposed to marry Ying Ning in exchange for the support of the King of Xiling.
Yingning was naturally willing, and the two reached an agreement, and Yingning finally married the man she loved.
She happily married him, but little did she know that Yu Yun had other plans.
After the two got married, Yu Yun never touched Ying Ning, and didn't even appear in front of her.
A month later, Yu Yun ascended the throne, but Ying Ning was not made empress because she was murdered by Yu Yun's two concubines.
Yu Yun publicly stated that the princess missed Xiling and died of illness.
To this end, the imperial harem selection was halted, solely in remembrance of Ying Ning.
A year later, Yu Yun returned to Xiling. He took a liking to Yun Yiyi, who came to pay her respects to Ying Ning and was crying softly and pitifully.
The King of Xiling adopted Yun Yiyi as his goddaughter and ordered her to marry into Dongxia in order to establish friendly relations between the two countries.
Yun Yiyi readily agreed, and Yu Yun won the heart of his beauty. He made Yun Yiyi his empress, disbanded the harem, and the two remained together for life, becoming a legendary couple.

When Xiao Li arrived, Yu Yun had just been sent to Xiling Kingdom. At that time, he was being bullied by many princes and princesses, but as he was living under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to bow his head and endure it.
The people of Xiling are open-minded, so the separation of men and women is not strict, and all the princes and princesses attend classes together.
Yesterday, the master gave the princes and princesses a task: to paint landscapes.
Yingning was impatient with drawing, so she asked Yun Yiyi to draw for her, which was what she always did.
Yun Yiyi's cherry blossom painting this time was outstanding, and even the teacher praised it highly. He even publicly praised Ying Ning.
Ying Ning was feeling smug when someone pointed out that she had her reading companion ghostwrite for her, which made her look very bad, and everyone knew that she had asked her reading companion to write for her.
However, Yingning did not blame Yun Yiyi. Instead, she felt that Yun Yiyi was very talented and treated her even better.
Xiao Li shook her head. Ying Ning was sincere, pure, and kind; she shouldn't have ended up like this.
"The male and female leads are disgusting. They use a weak woman to achieve their own goals."
123 was indignant.
"Yes, we must avenge her."
?
Seeing that Xiaoli had opened her eyes, Yun Yiyi, who was sitting next to her, stood up and took the painting over again.
"Princess, what do you think? I'll revise it if there's anything wrong with it."
Xiao Li nodded. "Excellent."
How could a painting praised by a gentleman be bad? However, the owner of this painting is not so great.
She deliberately let people know that she ghostwrote it, just to become famous by stepping on the original owner of the body, right? If she wants to be famous, then let's grant her wish.
Xiao Li sent the people away and then spread out Xuan paper in the room to start painting.
She traveled through various worlds and even studied painting; in terms of vision, ten Yun Yiyis couldn't compare to her.
She recalled Mojia Village and drew the scene she saw from the tree branch on the back mountain.
A small village with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, neat farmland, a babbling river, winding paths, children playing, and farmers working in the fields…
All of them are presented one by one.
Xiao Jiu watched silently as she ground the ink for her.
A moment later, the painting was finished. Xiaoli felt clear-headed and much more comfortable.
She let the painting dry and then casually put it into her book bag.
The next morning, Yun Yiyi came to wake Xiaoli up.
She was used to coming over every morning. Sometimes the princess would give her jewelry that she didn't like, and she would also have breakfast with her.
The princess's breakfast was naturally far superior to that of her study companion, but today Xiao Li showed no intention of letting her sit at the table.
Even today, she had a stern face and didn't smile at all.
"Princess, are you unhappy today? Are you worried about the painting? Don't worry, even if you don't get an excellent grade, you'll definitely pass."
Xiao Li nodded and ate on her own. Yun Yiyi was also a little hungry, and she got anxious when she saw that Xiao Li was almost finished eating.
"Princess, I was so focused on painting last night that my arms are a little sore and I didn't sleep well all night, so I got up a little late today."
Xiao Li paused, then looked up at Yun Yiyi.
