Chapter 9: Return to the palace

The dazzling sunlight in the morning forced Gu Yining to wake up from her dream. She put on her clothes, got up and sat on the bed, scratching her hair.
"Miss, you finally woke up!" Huan'er walked to Gu Yining's bed.
Gu Yining did not pay attention, but tried hard to recall the dream she had last night. Who was that strange voice? Why did she come here? Could it be that the mysterious man did it?
I remembered that in the dream, she asked the mysterious person what the mission was, but the person's answer made her unable to recall, but vaguely remembered that the person told her: How she came, she would go back.
"Miss, which dress do you want to wear today?" Huan'er's whispered whisper came into her ears again.
Without any response, Gu Yining continued to think hard, what did he say?
"Miss, the Eighth Prince said that he is going back to the palace today. The color of the clothes need not be too bright. The Queen Mother will not like it."
Still no response.
Gu Yining could think of it, so Huan'er had to wonder if the person in front of her was a wooden person.
"Miss, the Eighth Prince asked the servants to take the young lady to Mingxianzhai after she got up." Huan'er continued Xuxu.
I don’t know if it was Huan’er’s thoughts that pulled Gu Yining back from thinking, or the few unfamiliar words that made Gu Yining lift her head from thinking: "Mingxianzhai?"
"Mingxianzhai is where the Eighth Lords often stay!" Huan'er introduced to Gu Yining from the side.
"When did Mo Jianchen tell you?" Gu Yining asked curiously.
"The prince told the slave maid when he left Zhiyuan Pavilion this morning." Huan'er told the truth.
This morning? Leaving Zhiyuan Pavilion? ! Gu Yining looked at the Huan'er in front of him incredulously, as if he was blowing up hair: "What did you say?! Leave Zhiyuan Pavilion?!"
"Yes, didn't the prince stay in Miss Zhiyuan Pavilion all the time last night?" Huan'er looked at Gu Yining in confusion. Since the prince entered, he has never been seen again.
"Are you wrong?" Gu Yining asked firmly. Mo Jianchen was clearly driven out of the room by himself last night.
"Will the slave and maid misunderstand the Eighth Prince?" Huan'er said firmly. The Eighth Prince's appearance is very beautiful. You can recognize which one is the Eighth Prince at a glance in the mansion, not to mention that you can see it every day. He would certainly not read it wrong.
Gu Yining remained silent, her eyes full of confusion, could it be that the smelly man sneaked in in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, Gu Yining couldn't help but feel a hair behind her back, and then as if suddenly remembering something, Limara opened the quilt and jumped off the bed—the sheets were still as clean as ever. Could it be... this man just slept under a blanket?
"Miss, what are you thinking?" Huan'er looked at Gu Yining in confusion.
"Nothing..." Gu Yining waved his hand in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
After finishing the care, Huan'er walked to Mingxianzhai with Gu Yining.
"Eighth Princess is early!" A familiar voice came from behind, Gu Yining turned around, and it was Jun Li who came to him.
He still looks like a handsome young man, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted upwards, which makes people feel comfortable.
"Morning, Jun Li." Jun Li seemed to be very contagious. Seeing him smile, Gu Yining couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you doing here?" Jun Li looked at Gu Yining curiously.
"Come to Mo Jianchen." Gu Yining pouted, seemingly reluctant.
"Looking for Jianchen! He has been reading inside!" Jun Li looked at Mingxianzhai. Mo Jianchen was holding a book in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the early morning sun poured lazily. His face is like a frozen picture, "He seems to be in a good mood today. Since coming back in the morning until now, I see that he has been laughing!"
"Come back in the morning?" Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked Jun Li tentatively, "Where has he gone?"
"Didn't you go to your Zhiyuan Pavilion?" Jun Li asked back. He asked Mo Jianchen to play chess last night. Mo Jianchen refused to accompany him to play chess. He even said that he was going to Gu Yining's place, causing him to fight with him. I played chess all night, and he was almost schizophrenic.
"You are finally here." The low male voice slipped into Gu Yining's ears and raised his eyes, and found that Mo Jianchen was already standing in front of him.
When Gu Yining just wanted to ask something, he was interrupted by Mo Jianchen's "Then let's go back to the palace".
Gu Yining reluctantly let out a cry, as Mo Jianchen got on the carriage again.
The distance from the Eight Princes' Mansion to the imperial palace didn't seem to be very far, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop. Gu Yining jumped out of the carriage after Mo Jianchen got out of the carriage.
In front of me, there is a magnificent faction.
"Wow!" Gu Yining raised her head and couldn't help sighing. It was like a countryman who had just entered the city. She excitedly pulled Mo Jianchen by the corner of his clothes, "Mo Jianchen Mo Jianchen! This palace is so beautiful! Ah! Did you grow up here when you were a kid!"

Mo Jianchen cast his eyes down and glanced at Gu Yining. He felt disgusted at first, but when he saw Gu Yining's innocent face, he felt a little cute in a ghostly manner: "Well, after entering, remember to change your slogan to the king."
"Yes, prince~" Gu Yining respectfully bowed to Mo Jianchen.
Mo Jianchen did not give too much attention, turned and walked towards the palace.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. In a place where people’s hearts are like the sea, in a seemingly magnificent palace, how many people treat each other with sincerity?
Gu Yining followed behind Mo Jianchen all the way, looked around, and came to the gate of the empress dowager's palace unknowingly.
"Wait!" Gu Yining stopped Mo Jianchen, who wanted to move on.
Mo Jianchen stopped, turned his head, and looked at Gu Yining suspiciously.
"I... How do I call the Queen Mother?" Gu Yining nervously looked at Mo Jianchen in front of him. It was the first time she entered the palace, she didn't know anything, in case she was called the wrong person. Is it embarrassing?
"That's right for you to call this king." Mo Jianchen looked at Gu Yining, this woman was so nervous, her little hand kept pulling her skirt, the skirt was almost wrinkled by her, and he took a step towards Gu Yining. Reached out and took her little hand.
The cold little hand was instantly held tightly in the palm of the warm big hand, and Gu Yining raised her head flatteredly: "Master..."
"Don't be afraid, there is a king here." Mo Jianchen took Gu Yining's hand and walked towards the palace.
"The emperor's grandmother." Mo Jianchen walked up to the emperor's queen and saluted respectfully.
"The emperor... the emperor's grandmother is good!" Gu Yining followed the example of Mo Jianchen and bowed her head. She lowered her head and did not dare to look up at the empress dowager in front of her.
"Chen'er, this is the eighth princess you insist on marrying?" The Queen Mother looked at Gu Yining in front of her.
"Exactly." Mo Jianchen replied.
"Look up and show Ai's family." The Queen Mother ordered softly.
Gu Yining raised her head timidly, but as soon as she met the Queen Mother, she immediately looked away shyly, perhaps because the popularity field in front of her was so strong that she did not dare to look at her directly.
"Haha, isn't the eighth princess shy seeing Ai Jia?" The empress dowager looked at Gu Yining, who was blushing, and couldn't help but smile, a woman with such a cute character. She has a cute appearance and clear eyes, giving people a simple and beautiful feeling , This kind of woman without a city mansion is really rare in the palace.
"Don't be afraid, Ai's family won't eat you. Chen'er really has a good vision and married a princess like you." The empress dowager looked at Gu Yining with relief. A woman can say that she is the most accurate woman. When I saw Gu Yining, there was an unspeakable love. Compared to Yun Xiangqi, Gu Yining felt much better for her. Yun Xiangqi has a clever tongue, but she doesn't really like such a woman.
"No, no...I..." Gu Yining was stunned, and silently lowered her head. How should she call herself in front of the Queen Mother? But no matter how you call it, you shouldn’t be so direct, "Chen concubine...Chen...Grass girl..."
"Grandson-in-law is fine." Mo Jianchen couldn't listen anymore, and gently reminded him.
"Oh oh oh, grandson-in-law..." Gu Yining raised her head again and looked at the empress dowager, "the grandson-in-law is not as good as the emperor and grandmother..." After that, she was shy again. Smiled happily.
Seeing this, the empress dowager couldn't help but laugh again. These eight princesses were really different.
Just as the Queen Mother was about to say something, she suddenly interrupted her with a cat cry.
Everyone followed the sound to see that it was actually a cat, and the kitten kept rubbing against Mo Jianchen's feet.
Mo Jianchen's eyes tightened, he immediately grabbed the cat, turned around, and threw it out of the palace.
"Chen'er doesn't have to be so sensitive." The empress dowager's peaceful voice passed from behind him.
"But doesn't the royal grandmother hate cats?" Mo Jianchen asked puzzledly.
"The Ai family doesn't hate cats, but they are allergic to cat hair. It was the same when the first emperor was alive. Be careful everywhere. Whenever you see a cat, you must deal with it," the empress dowager laughed. "You are really like the emperor. Extremely."
Mo Jianchen, the empress dowager's favorite grandson, is not just because he resembles the first emperor in some respects, but in her eyes, he is the most distinctive and outstanding grandson.
After a few words of greeting, Mo Jianchen left the palace first, while Gu Yining stayed and continued chatting with the Queen Mother.
After a long time, Gu Yining walked out of the palace, but Mo Jianchen was not seen, only his bodyguard stayed by.
"Bai Ye, where is Mo Jianchen?" Gu Yining asked suspiciously.
"There." Bai Ye pointed to the corner on the side.
Gu Yining looked in the direction of his fingers, why is this man squatting in the corner?
She quietly approached Mo Jianchen, finally, walked to his side, bent down slightly, and looked at Mo Jianchen curiously.
Wait... she read it right? The Eighth Prince, who just threw the cat out mercilessly, is here now...sucking the cat? !
