Shiyi left with some grumbling.
Was he not busy?
He had just arrived in Nanming and was still reorganizing the various intelligence networks and informants inside and outside the imperial city. He was so busy!
It was all her fault for being too talkative and mentioning Prince Xuan. She deserved to be disliked by her boss.
Alas!
After Shiyi left, Fu Ning thought for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Miss, I think you really care about the Emperor of Nanming... Every time you mention him, you always seem so... yearning."
"I do yearn for it a little."
Chu Qianli did not hide it. "I really want to meet this legendary Emperor."
However, she had just arrived here, and the matter of the Heaven and Earth Lock had not yet been investigated to find out who was spreading the rumors.
Chu Wang's matters had to be resolved, otherwise, his danger would never disappear.
After all, he had taught her martial arts before, and she couldn't really ignore his safety.
As for the Emperor of Nanming... perhaps, if there was a chance, she had to meet him.
She always felt that Nanming had a very magical attraction for her.
The Heaven and Earth Lock, Chu Wang, the Emperor, and the Grand Tutor who might really be able to help her find her father...
In short, there were too many things that tied her to this place.
Before leaving, she had to resolve them completely.
"Miss."
Seeing that she was about to go out, Fu Ning followed behind her and asked in a low voice, "Did you really go to Lingjiu Hall last night?"
"Otherwise, how could I have seen Consort Ling appear at Lingjiu Hall?" Was she joking?
"Then you..." Fu Ning was also very curious. "Did you see the legendary Grand Tutor? What kind of person is he?"
"It can be considered... I've seen him."
But the Grand Tutor wore a veil, and she couldn't see what he looked like.
However, since they had spoken, it could be considered as having met.
"I don't know what kind of person he is, and for now, I don't have the ability to know, but..."
She opened the door and looked at the bright scenery outside, her eyes slowly narrowing.
"Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to understand soon."
"Miss..."
"Miss Chu!"
Outside, Aunt Lan, who was by Consort Ling's side, appeared at the courtyard entrance and was walking quickly towards her.
She was still some distance away.
Fu Ning looked at Chu Qianli and whispered, "If you really saw Consort Ling at Lingjiu Hall, then she is definitely a person who hides her true abilities. I still can't see any flaws in her."
"So, Miss, you must be careful of her people."
"I know." Chu Qianli nodded and walked slowly to meet her.
Aunt Lan walked up to her and said with a smile, "Miss, the Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet tonight, and you are also invited. Please prepare yourself a little. Before nightfall, Consort will send the carriage over."
Going to the palace?
Fu Ning looked at Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli had already smiled and replied, "Okay."
Aunt Lan left, and Fu Ning looked anxious. "The Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet, and that Princess Feiyan will definitely be there. I heard that the Empress Dowager favors Princess Feiyan the most. Miss, will she bully you?"
"What do you think?"
But Chu Qianli didn't take Chu Feiyan seriously at all.
Going to the palace, then, is there a chance to meet the Emperor of Nanming?
Chu Jiangnan... she had long admired this young and promising Emperor of Nanming, who was also rumored to be a stunning beauty.
She wondered what kind of person he really was.
"Fu Ning, go and prepare for me."
Chu Qianli suddenly became energetic, turned to look at Fu Ning, and said with a smile, "Tonight, I want to dress up properly!"
Fu Ning was muttering to herself.
Before, no matter who she met, Miss would not dress up specially.
Tonight, why was she so excited?
