I held the talisman and had no reaction for a moment, and just watched it. After a while, I raised my head and wanted to ask, I saw Miaoyan standing in front of me with her round belly, blinking her big eyes.

I hurriedly took down the talisman, put it on the small table aside, and then hugged her out of the bathhouse.

The bathroom was steaming hot. She stood by the pool just now and didn't freeze. But she was soaked in warmth. When she was in a little hot bath soup, it was like the blood in her body had just been frozen by the cold wind outside. At this time, she started to rush again, her whole body was freezing and comfortable, so I couldn't help but sigh.

Miaoyan was even more happy like a cat that was being touched. She hugged her knees with her hands in my arms. Just enough, she raised her head and came out of the water. Her neck was soaked in the bath soup; her eyes were squinting, and her little mouth was almost cracked to the ears. Her cute appearance was really adorable.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Does Miaoyan like this?"

She didn't speak, but just let out a long sigh, like a cat's sigh.

I smiled and reached out and stroked the wet and messy hair on her face to the back of her head.

Although this one in my arms is my daughter, she has experienced too much with me and experienced more when she was not with me, but I have never seen her like this before. I suddenly felt that this seemed like Li Er when I was not by her side.

She was not sensible yet, and had just started to learn to speak, and she learned to walk. Everything needed her parents to be by her side. The years that had been missing suddenly made me appear; I was absent from me and suddenly appeared in her life.

Is this a gift from God?

All my sins have been forgiven, and my life has been redeemed!

Thinking of this, I even had the impulse to kneel down immediately and thank God for his kindness. All I could do was to subconsciously tighten my arms and hug the lost daughter tightly in my arms. Miaoyan seemed to be able to feel the surging in my heart. She raised her head to look at me, and then wiped my neck with her cheeks.

That intimate feeling made me so happy that I wish I could become forever at this moment.

...

In such happiness, I leaned against the wall of the pool with a thick towel, holding Miaoyan in my arms. When I opened my eyes, I saw the talisman lying quietly on the small table beside the pool.

That is the talisman of the protector of the country.

If there was still doubt and uncertainty before, whether it was the mysterious mage who summoned souls for his wonderful words and deeds, then the moment he saw this talisman, he could be sure.

No wonder, I couldn't find him.

Pei Yuanhao's move was really very effective. He and I were like two chess pieces. When I was in the Liu Mansion, the Master of the State was in Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs; when I was about to find him, the emperor issued an order to seal the way to the western suburbs; when I was now living in Jingren Palace, he appeared in the Taimiao again.

However - Taimiao is not a residence where you can enter and exit at will, and it is impossible for a wizard to live there for a long time.

When he left Chongyun Pavilion and was not yet in Taimiao to summon souls for his wonderful words and deeds, where were others?

I subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, a warm, wet little hand raised his head to cover my eyebrows and rubbed it gently. When I lowered my head, I saw Miaoyan looking at me with his head raised. There was a spotless inspiration in her big eyes. She said seriously and hard: "Mom, don't be angry."

My heart suddenly softened.

Everything that was struggling in her heart turned into smoke under her rubbing, and she immediately smiled: "Don't you be angry, I'm not angry."

Then, she started laughing.

Miaoyan and I were in the bath for a long time until we noticed that the temperature of the bath soup began to drop, so I picked her up. The palace maid outside was very clever and hurried in to serve us, giving us the clothes that had been prepared long ago. After putting on Miaoyan's clothes, a palace maid who was packing the clothes we had changed said, "Miss Yan, is this the princess's talisman?"

Looking back, she was picking up the talisman from her little table.

I hurriedly took it, sorted it out, and hung it back on Miaoyan's neck.

She didn't feel anything about this thing. After hanging up, she still stood there so well, motionless.

I fastened her the last breath, and left everything else to the palace maids to deal with, so I led her out of the bathroom. The room was steaming hot, but the wind was squeaking outside. As soon as I went out, she and I blew up their necks and shook. I looked down at her, and there were two red glows on my little face, which were so cute, but I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I hurriedly took her back to Jingren Palace.

Unexpectedly, there were still people waiting for me in Jingren Palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yang Jinqiao sitting by the table, holding a bowl of something in my hand that I didn’t know if it was porridge or hot soup, and was gently blowing the heat on it. Su Su next to me looked at her with surprise: “Really? Princess Miaoyan really—”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and turned around and saw me and Miaoyan.

Su Su jumped up suddenly.

"Miss!"

I smiled and watched her pounce, grabbed Miaoyan's hand and looked up and down, and asked, "Miss Miaoyan, do you recognize me?"

Miaoyan was so scared that she shrank a little, and subconsciously hid behind me, but she grabbed her arm and could only look at her.

After taking a look, Miaoyan seemed to remember something: "You..."

"I am Susu, Sister Susu, that's what you call me!"

“…”

Miaoyan seemed to be a little confused, and only looked at her in a daze, I pulled Susu's hand away and told her that although Miaoyan's condition had improved, it had not been completely cured, so that she would not scare her. When Susu heard this, she hurriedly let go of Miaoyan, but smiled at her. Miaoyan probably couldn't fully understand the people and things around her now, but she seemed to have natural sensitivity to Wen Liangxiang, and she also smiled at Susu.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I then took her in.

Madam Wu also came up with her in glee. It was probably the first time she saw Miaoyan who was slightly normal and could smile and move. She was so happy that her wrinkles on her face became more and more. When everyone was lying around Miaoyan, I turned around and saw Yang Jinqiao sitting at the table and finishing the last bite of the small bowl.

I walked forward: "Empress Ning."

"It seems that you have been delaying a lot of time there again."

"Have Concubine Ning been here for a long time?"

She smiled and put the empty bowl back on the table. Only then did I see that her face relaxed a little and she became much more energetic.

She looked back at Miaoyan and smiled, "I didn't expect that the princess's illness would improve so quickly. You are so lucky."

Then I remembered that the last time Miaoyan went to Taimiao to pray for blessings, she was plotted by me and Chang Qing, and finally came to the palace with the order. Unexpectedly, time passed quickly, and people and things were already very different.

I forced a smile and said, "I'm worried."

"Today, was the first concubine to go to the emperor's bedroom?"

"yes."

"She is attentive."

"I don't want Miaoyan to see her at all."

Hearing my words, Yang Jinqiao raised his head and looked at me, but said with a smile: "But the facts may not be as you wish."

My heart beat: "What does it mean?"

"I'm here now just to tell you that the last words of the imperial concubine actually make some sense."

“…”

I was stunned for a moment. When she was leaving, Nangong Lizhu seemed to have said nothing, but immediately came to her senses - she left, but her mind might not have left. Although the last few words that Nangong Lizhu said were only Pei Yuanhao, as well as Eunuch Yu outside the door and the eunuchs who served, we could not control how far the words could be passed.

My breathing became tense.

Yang Jinqiao said calmly: "This time since you entered Beijing, the emperor has not forcibly enthroned you, but everything he did is to finally enthrone you."

“…”

"You have to know that sometimes, public opinion may be more effective than imperial edicts."

"Public opinion..."

"You won't know the truth that everyone talks about gold, right?"

“…”

"What's more, you live in Jingren Palace, without any name. When the princess is sick, you may be taking care of her, but once the princess is healed, your position will be very embarrassing."

“…”

"In all dynasties, there is no princess' mother who is not a concubine."

“…”

"The majesty of the royal family is much more important than you think."

I can't speak.

Of course I know how important the majesty of the royal family is to these royal people. Even when Pei Yuanxiu was the crown prince, he searched the He family and wiped out the family for the sake of "the majesty of the royal family". In front of all scholars, he swept the demeanor of Ziyue Shiyun to the ground.

I couldn't help but pinch my fingers, and then I felt the fingers were cold. I looked up at her: "Then Concubine Ning thinks, what should I do?"

She smiled faintly: "I am not you, I only know what to do in this situation, but I don't know - as you, what you should do."

“…”

"I just want to tell you that you'd better think about your retreat. Your retreat determines how you play this game."

"The way out?"

"That's right," she said calmly: "You must know that the emperor wants to enthrone you, but you can't force you; but once you can't live in this harem as Yan Qingying. You have only two endings - either, accept the enthronement; or, as Yan Qingying, leave the palace."

“…”

"But you have to know that once you leave the palace, the emperor will definitely be furious."

“…”

"In anger, he faced you who was disobedient, and on the other hand, he was a gentle and obedient concubine."

“…”

"And Princess Miaoyan is so young, of course she needs a concubine to educate her."

“…”
