Looking at the elder’s affirmative and excited expression, Jun Qianye didn’t have much reaction.

The old man originally thought that his king would rush out to find Nangong Ning to express his attitude, but from the looks of it, he was a little embarrassed.

“Your Highness?”

Jun Qianye glanced at him and didn’t say anything. She just glanced coldly at Wei Chu who was still standing opposite her.

Wei Chu felt a chill in his heart and quickly cupped his hands together, “This subordinate will leave.”

Elder Zong blurted out, “Why did Grandfather Wang call Wei Chu?”

“Enter the palace,” Jun Qianye said softly and didn’t say anything.

Elder Zong knew that it was inconvenient to tell him in detail. He didn’t have much to say. He just thought about the matter of Nangong Ning leaving the capital. He took a step forward and looked at Jun Qianye and said in sincere words and earnest wishes, “Wang, don’t you ask Miss Nangong?”

“What are you asking her?” Jun Qianye looked like she had lost her memory.

Elder Zong was so angry that his brows ached and he patiently said, “The matter of leaving Beijing.”

“No,” Jun Qianye said with certainty, “She can’t leave.”

“Ah?” Elder Zong didn’t understand. Looking at Nangong Ning, she was determined and made a decision.

But soon, the elder found that it was really as Jun Qianye claimed that Nangong Ning couldn’t leave the capital.

In the afternoon, news came back from the palace that it would be a lucky day half a month later. The Emperor decided that the Regent Jun Qianye would marry the eldest daughter of Nangong Family, Nangong Ning, as the principal concubine in half a month!

After receiving the news, the elder was extremely excited.

“Miss Nangong, do you know?”

At this time, Nangong Ning also knew that she had Wen Wan find a map of the Eastern calendar and was studying where she went after leaving the capital.

Her goal was to rely on herself if others couldn’t rely on.

But now, she wasn’t in the mood to study any maps.

The new decree was to let her marry Jun Qianye half a month later. With the imperial decree, could she still leave the capital?

Looking at the excited Fat old man in front of her, she furrowed her eyebrows and said in a depressed tone, “Fat old man, don’t you think that the most important thing in this matter is your prince’s attitude?”

“Your attitude?” The elder said that he did not understand her words.

Nangong Ning sat up straight, stared straight at the Zong elder and asked, “If the emperor ordered the prince to do something and the prince doesn’t want to do this, what will the result be?”

“This…” The elder recalled seriously, “It seems that the Emperor has not forced the prince.”

Nangong Ning rolled his eyes at him and asked, “Isn’t it the matter of marriage?”

Un, the old man shook his head solemnly. “I didn’t see how reluctant the prince was.”

He has been with Jun Qianye for many years. From childhood until now, he has never seen his own prince close to any girl’s family. Nangong Ning made an exception time and time again in front of the prince. If the prince didn’t want to marry her, he would have seen the ghost.

However, Nangong Ning and Elder Zong were not on the same side, so she understood the Elder’s logic. Anyway, she was very sure that Jun Qianye was not willing to marry her.

Nangong Ning let out a sigh of relief and looked depressed. She really didn’t know what to do now.

She and Su Yuan agreed to leave three days later, and she also stared at a few places, but with the imperial decree, could she still leave?

Seeing Nangong Ning’s hopeless expression, Zong Elder advised, “Don’t think too much. I think you’d better try your best to get married. Are you embroidered? Do you want to start now?”

“Empress wedding dress?” Nangong Ning’s teeth trembled.

She could use the operation needle very well, but the embroidery needle was too mysterious.

Elder Zong nodded and said seriously, “Yeah, most girls will embroider their own wedding clothes. Miss Nangong, you can’t embroider them, right?”

“Yes, I really won’t,” Nangong Ning gritted his teeth.

Elder Zong thought for a moment and said, “Then please invite Wushuang Pavilion. That Bai Wushuang’s embroidery is unparalleled, let her embroidery.”

Nangong Ning’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

“Bai Wushuang?”

Elder Zong nodded and said seriously, “If you want to marry the prince, you can’t casually deal with the wedding gown. You have the best in everything. You must be glorious.”

Nangong Ning’s lips twitched. She didn’t dare think about this at all!

At this time, Wen Wan came over and said softly, “Miss, Miss Bai from Wushuang Pavilion is here. Please see Miss.”

Nangong Ning stood up in shock while the elder smiled mysteriously.

“Look, this old man knows that the prince will definitely not let his wedding happen casually.”

Nangong Ning was confused. Did Jun Qianye really plan to marry her? He wants to submit to the imperial power?

Elder Zong said excitedly, “Wen Wan, please invite Miss Bai in. The Emperor suddenly issued an order that the wedding will be held in half a month. Time is really tight. Hurry up, don’t waste time.”

Wen Wan responded and turned to leave.

Nangong Ning glared at the elder. She was not mentally prepared for this old man.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Nangong Ning looked over and saw Bai Wushuang, dressed in white, with a faint makeup on her beautiful face.

“Greetings to the doctor, Miss Nangong,” Bai Wushuang came over and bowed slightly.

Nangong Ning had to return a gift and invite Bai Wushuang to sit down, while the elder sat there as steady as Mount Tai.

“Miss Bai, are you here to measure Miss Nangong’s size?” Zong Elder asked directly.

Nangong Ning’s face was inexplicably hot. He subconsciously looked over to observe Bai Wushuang’s expression.

Bai Wushuang sat on the opposite side naturally. Her face had a be calm in undertaking on her exquisite makeup but her eyes drooped slightly. “No, the size has been measured last time. This time, Wushuang is here to discuss with Miss Nangong about the style and elements of the wedding dress.”

Indeed, it was for the wedding dress! Elder Zong stroked his beard proudly.

Bai Wushuang looked at Nangong Ning and saw that her little face was clean and there was no fat powder on her face, but a born beauty, her face was like a layer of jade that made people want to see her soul.

She asked, “Miss Nangong, because the wedding date is half a month later and there isn’t much time, so the embroidery of the wedding dress can’t be too complicated. What elements do Miss Nangong like?”

Nangong Ning was a little dizzy. She never thought about what she liked.

“Do you have any elements to refer to?” She could only leave the question to Bai Wushuang.

A trace of strangeness flashed in Bai Wushuang’s eyes.

There were many women in the world who stared at the Regent’s position. If it were anyone else, they would have been talking about it in be in the best of spirits, but the Nangong Ning in front of them seemed to be different from ordinary girls.

Was this the reason why she could defeat others and truly become a Regent?

Bai Wushuang felt her heart tighten.

“Someone.”

Bai Wushuang didn’t come alone. There were two maids behind her.

A maid came over with a big brocade box and opened it on the table.

“Miss Nangong, please see.”

Nangong Ning looked at it and found that it was some embroidery drawings. The drawings were very intricate and looked particularly beautiful.

“So many!”

Bai Wushuang nodded and said, “These are more exquisite. There are 36 kinds. Miss Nangong can choose a few.”

Nangong Ning flipped through some see things in a blur. Initially, she had never thought about getting married, but now, looking at these pictures, she could not help but look forward to it.

Women were naturally sensitive to these things.

She didn’t come.

In the end, Nangong Ning chose the light cloud pattern, the crane pattern, and the crab pattern.

Bai Wushuang nodded when she saw this and said, “These are simple and generous. Miss Nangong has a good taste.”

Nangong Ning sorry smiled and said, “Your pictures are too beautiful. Actually, I like them very much.”

Bai Wushuang also smiled and said, “I will match up with Miss Nangong’s chosen pattern. Do you have any objections?”

“Of course not. I believe in Miss Bai’s judgment,” Nangong Ning said truthfully.

On the other hand, the elders on the side were a little annoyed. The prince was Nangong Ning’s future husband, so what the hell was it for Bai Wushuang to choose?

But looking at Nangong Ning’s ‘silly and sweet’ appearance, Zong Laozi could only be speechless.

After sending Bai Wushuang away, Nangong Ning decided to find Jun Qianye.

The marriage was real. She had to find Jun Qianye to get a trust.

However, she couldn’t find Jun Qianye. The people from the mansion said that the prince was not there.

But no one knows where he went and when he will come back.

Nangong Ning was angry, depressed and anxious about this.

However, she had no other choice. Thankfully, there were three days left before she could only wait patiently.

But this time, Jun Qianye didn’t know what she was doing. She didn’t see anyone for two days.

This made Nangong Ning dizzy. She had set three days and there was only one day in front of her. She really didn’t know if she was going to leave.

But before she could finish her struggle, Queen Xun’s decree arrived at the mansion.

It was said that the Emperor of Phoenix had ordered her to help Nangong Ning get married, and Nangong Ning was now an orphan, so he had to welcome Nangong Ning to the Fengyi Palace and marry him directly from the Fengyi Palace.

Nangong Ning subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she had no reason, and she couldn’t resist it.

She wanted to find Jun Qianye but she wasn’t there.

Queen Xun’s decree was for her to enter the palace the next day, and it was the day she planned to leave the capital.

So that night, Nangong Ning was in bed, toss and turn restlessly.

Early in the morning, she got up from the bed with a pair of dark circles, scaring Wen Wan and the rest.

“Miss Nangong, did you sleep last night?”

Nangong Ning looked at her and said weakly, “Remove the good words.”

Wen Wan: “…”

“Miss Nangong, the Empress will come to pick you up before noon,” Wen Wan said.

Nangong Ning was startled when he heard this, and his mind immediately cleared up. He asked, “Is the prince back?”

“No.” Wen Wan shook her head. For the past two days, Nangong Ning had let her stare at the prince’s side, so she knew that the prince had not returned to the residence yet.

Nangong Ning suddenly felt hopeless. She thought for a moment and said, “Get me dressed. I want to see Su Yuan.”
