I was still a little skeptical, but now it has completely dissipated.
Ji Yun and Ning Yu saluted the queen.
Manman imitated the movements well, but because she was too small, her body was a little crooked. She said in a baby voice, "Manman pays respects to the Empress."
The queen waved to Manman and said in a gentle voice, "Manman, I am your grandmother."
Manman was a little confused, "Grandma?"
Ning Yu chuckled. "Yes, Manman, now you have someone who loves you."
The Empress's face was filled with kindness as she said to Nanny Qin, "Go and get the collar I prepared."
Nanny Qin quickly brought a black lacquer tray with a gold lotus pattern, inside which was a red gold plate with a dragon and a necklace, which was dazzling and brilliant with golden light.
The queen smiled and said, "This is a gift from your grandmother. Do you like it?"
Manman tilted her head and looked at the queen, then took a few small steps forward. Her voice was soft and soft, "Is this really for Manman? It's so beautiful."
"Yes, for Manman." The queen put the red gold coiled dragon necklace on Manman's neck.
The little girl couldn't help but touch the beautiful beads on the necklace and showed her teeth to the queen. "Thank you, Grandma. I like it very much."
The little dumpling looks like a fairy child, with round and smooth cheeks. When he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are curved, which makes him look even more cute and adorable.
The queen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her mind emerged of when the prince was three or four years old. No matter what happened, he always smiled sweetly and was very well-behaved, and basically never gave her any worries.
The queen couldn't help but like Manman even more.
"Miss Ning, can you let Manman stay in the palace for a while?"
The Queen's tone was sincere, and she didn't even refer to herself.
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids. After all, the Queen was Manman's grandmother, and she seemed to like Manman very much.
Ning Yu quickly agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Her Majesty."
"Manman, listen to your grandmother in the palace, okay? Mother will come to pick you up in a few days."
Ning Yu gave detailed instructions.
Manman nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Mom, I will listen to Grandma."
Ning Yu and Ji Yun quickly left Chuxiu Palace and got on the carriage.
The journey was quiet.
When they were almost at the clinic, Ji Yun raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes fell on Ning Yu, and his tone was warm.
"There will be a hunting trip next month, and His Majesty will probably include you in the entourage..." Ji Yun paused. "If you don't want to go, I can have someone cross your name off."
Ning Yu thought for a moment.
She has been in this small world for so long, but it seems like she hasn't gone out to play much.
Ning Yu shook his head, clearly showing some interest in hunting. "Where can I learn horseback riding?"
Ji Yun raised his eyebrows, a sly look flashing across his eyes. "I'll teach you."
Ning Yu didn't refuse.
We soon arrived at the clinic.
Ji Yun was reluctant to leave. His eyes were filled with deep affection, almost overflowing with it. "Ning Yu, these past few days I've been dreaming about the past..."
He dreamed a lot.
He dreamed that she personally brought him meals every day, dreamed that the cute and shy smile on the corners of her mouth when she faced him, and the way her flower buds bloomed in the middle of the night, which was extremely charming.
Ning Yu didn't know how to answer his question and hesitated. "... Actually, that memory isn't important."
Ning Yu lifted up her skirt and got out of the car, not noticing that the man's eyes behind her gradually became deeper, with rippling light and a chill penetrating into her bones.
unimportant?
Is it because she doesn't like him?
Ji Yun watched the busy figures at the clinic for a long time before saying to the driver, "Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion."
Time flies.
It is the hottest time of the year during the summer.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Ning Yu's carriage was placed at the back.
When she arrived at the hunting ground, she didn't see Ji Yun.
Instead, the Queen asked Nanny Qin to bring Ning Yu a bowl of refreshing sour plum soup and an ice jar.
When Ning Yu saw the pile of ice, a slight chill hit her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little grateful to the Queen.
The tent had not been set up yet, so Ning Yu could only stand outside.
There were some young ladies from aristocratic families around, but none of them were willing to talk to her.
Even though she was newly appointed as a county lady by the emperor.
It was just because Ning Yu was too beautiful that they couldn't help but reject her. After all, no one wanted to be outshined by a widow.
But Ning Yu didn't care about these.
At this time, a gentle woman in moon-white clothes walked over. She had a fair complexion, a dignified and generous temperament, and a smile on her lips. "Miss Ning, I am Ye Wan from the second branch of the Ye family. Just call me Ye Wan."
"Miss Ye, what's the matter?" Ning Yu's face was full of confusion.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to accompany you. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
At the same time, Ye Wan secretly looked at Ning Yu. There were not too many pearl hairpins adorning her bun. Her hair was thin and thick, delicate and charming, with a natural and seductive temperament.
There were already several young masters from aristocratic families around, their eyes always lingering on Ning Yu.
No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about her.
Ning Yu was stunned for a moment, a warm feeling crossing her heart. A faint smile spread across her lips. "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Ye."
Although she was not afraid of being alone, she had no idea about hunting.
Seeing that Ning Yu did not resist her, Ye Wan felt relieved. If she could make Miss Ning happy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not treat the second wife badly.
"Hey, isn't this the third sister?"
A mocking voice came from not far away.
Ye Jingyi raised his chin slightly, and his eyes suddenly noticed Ning Yu beside Ye Wan. She was bright and beautiful, with a slender waist, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect Third Sister to be with a widow, not even afraid of bringing shame to the Ye family."
Ye Wan's eyes were cold, and her tone was reprimanding. "Big sister, be careful with your words! Miss Ning is a county lady personally appointed by His Majesty."
Ye Jingyi's expression froze and he snorted coldly.
A palace maid in pink came over and said respectfully, "Miss Ning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you."
Ning Yu didn't want to continue to entangle with Ye Jingyi, so after saying goodbye to Ye Wan, she followed the palace maid away.
Ye Wan didn't want to see Ye Jingyi, so she left.
Ye Jingyi stared at Ning Yu's graceful back as she walked away, his eyes full of resentment. He then called a maid and said something in a low voice.
The maid led Ning Yu to a tent and bowed slightly. "Miss Ning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside. I will not go in."
Ning Yu chuckled. "Thank you very much."
That smile was like a pear blossom on a tree branch, bright and clear.
The palace maid's face turned red subconsciously.
Miss Ning is so beautiful that even a woman like her can't resist her.
Ning Yu lifted the curtain and walked in slowly.
Ji Yun's eyes were bright and clear, and when he saw a hint of joy in Ning Yu's eyes, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to ride a horse."
