Fortunately, it was not yet noon when Ning Qingyan woke up from practice.
"It seems that this first change still requires a lot of medicine and repeated cleansing with spiritual energy."
"It's a little slow, but at least it's a method!"
Ning Qingyan felt the spiritual energy gradually dissipating in her body.
I am not satisfied with the current progress of my cultivation.
"Perhaps, we can also find other ways to speed up the progress of physical exercise." Ning Qingyan frowned and thought.
She really couldn't stand the fact that there were other people's bones in her body!
In particular, this bone is most likely Xiao Ruyi's.
Therefore, she must break through the first change as soon as possible!
"Princess, are you awake?"
The noise coming from the room made Banxia, who had been guarding the door, ask in a low voice.
Only then did Ning Qingyan notice that it was already getting late.
Oops!
Forgot to have breakfast today!
Ning Qingyan suddenly realized this.
Immediately, she calmed down again.
Isn't it just for breakfast? If you can't go, you can't go. What's the need to be anxious?
Ning Qingyan put aside the strange emotion in her heart and said to the people guarding outside: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the waiters filed in.
Ning Qingyan noticed that they not only brought toiletries, but also food.
She walked to the table, where the food was still steaming.
"Your Majesty was afraid that you would be hungry when you woke up, so he ordered the slaves to keep you warm." Seeing this, Banxia explained with a smile.
For some reason, Ning Qingyan felt better looking at the food on the table.
After washing up and having a full stomach, Ning Qingyan lazily basked in the sun.
Banxia reminded in a low voice, "Princess, today is the day when the Three Dynasties return home."
"Huh?" Ning Qingyan looked back in confusion.
Returning home after three dynasties?
Her mind turned sluggishly for a moment before she finally came to her senses.
Today is the day to return to Ning Mansion!
In the blink of an eye, she had been married to Prince Ding for three days.
"The palace is ready. Your Majesty has sent someone to tell you that if you want to go back, you can set off immediately. If you feel it's too late today, you can go tomorrow." After Ban Xia recounted the butler's words, he once again felt that Prince Ding was so considerate.
I really don’t have a choice of husband.
Apart from being weak, it is simply perfect!
"Now that you're ready, let's go now." Ning Qingyan didn't think much.
…
Zhao Yun received the news that Ning Qingyan was coming back and was very cooperative.
So, when Ning Qingyan packed up and walked out of the palace, he was already waiting in the carriage.
As soon as Ning Qingyan entered the carriage, she saw his clear and noble smile.
"lady."
Ning Qingyan twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, nodded and responded: "Your Majesty."
She sat next to Zhao Yun, and the carriage moved slowly.
"I heard that General Ning's health is not very good. If necessary, you can ask the imperial doctor to take a look." Zhao Yun suddenly asked on the way.
Ning Qingyan's eyes flashed, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Grandpa's health is slowly improving."
"That's good." Zhao Yun smiled.
He seemed to have found a topic at random, without intending to explore anything.
Ning Qingyan's thoughts started to stir in her heart.
Does the poison in Ning Yan's body have anything to do with the royal family?
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.
Ning Qingyan was thinking about something in her mind and didn't pay attention to Zhao Yun beside her.
But Zhao Yun's eyes fell on her back.
That's where the third vertebra is located.
Now, there is nothing unusual about that location.
But who would have thought that one day a few years ago, she suffered unimaginable pain and had her spiritual bones cut out?
Ning Qingyan didn't seem to want to get involved in this matter.
But how could Zhao Yun ignore it?
No matter who it is, once he finds out, he will make everyone involved in this matter pay a heavy price!
Inexplicably, Ning Qingyan felt a biting chill spreading in the carriage.
She subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Yun, but met his deep eyes like a spring breeze.
Ning Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
She quickly came to her senses, only to find that the chill in the carriage had long since disappeared.
…
After receiving the notice from Prince Ding's Mansion, everyone in the Ning Mansion, led by Li Yangzhou, stood guard at the gate.
Seeing the carriage of Prince Ding's Mansion approaching from a distance, Li Yangzhou quickly ordered everyone to cheer up and prepare to receive it.
"Miss...Ding Wangfei!"
As soon as Ning Qingyan got off the carriage, Li Yangzhou excitedly greeted her.
After the customary title was spoken, Li Yangzhou remembered that Ning Qingyan was now a married woman, and Li Yangzhou hurriedly changed his words.
Before he could say anything more, he saw the thin man again and got out of the carriage.
"See King Ding."
Everyone in the Ning Mansion knelt down and worshiped.
"Ahem, no need to be polite. Today, the princess is coming home, so you don't need to be polite." Zhao Yun coughed twice.
Li Yangzhou frowned, feeling out of breath just listening to this voice.
It seems that King Ding is indeed as frail and sick as the outside rumors say!
Li Yangzhou felt sorry for Ning Qingyan again.
I'm really afraid that she will become a widow soon after getting married!
Of course, this feeling cannot be reflected in front of King Ding.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yangzhou stood up as he was told.
As the general manager of the Ning Mansion, he presided over all matters related to Ning Qingyan's return.
After the group entered Ning Mansion, Ning Qingyan didn't know what the rules were for returning home from three dynasties, so she directly ordered Li Yangzhou to prepare a quiet courtyard for Zhao Yun to rest.
"Aren't you going to see General Ning?" Zhao Yun asked proactively.
Ning Qingyan looked at Li Yangzhou.
Li Yangzhou said: "The old general is not in good health and is still awake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun did not force it, he just glanced at Ning Qingyan and accepted the arrangement.
After sending Zhao Yun away, Li Yangzhou obviously relaxed a lot.
"Miss, Prince Ding...does he treat you well?" Li Yangzhou asked with concern.
On this point, Ning Qingyan said without hesitation: "He treats me pretty well."
"That's good!" Li Yangzhou nodded assuredly.
"But..." Ning Qingyan hesitated again.
Li Yangzhou asked in his heart, "But what?"
Ning Qingyan frowned and rubbed her chin in distress, "He refuses to consummate the marriage with me."
"...!!" Li Yangzhou.
What shocking words did their eldest lady say?!
"Cough cough cough -" Li Yangzhou was so frightened that he coughed violently and his face turned red.
"Are you okay?" Ning Qingyan looked at him.
Li Yangzhou waved his hands, finally suppressing the itchiness in his throat, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, this is not a bad thing."
"What's good?" Ning Qingyan gritted her teeth.
The way she gritted her teeth shocked Li Yangzhou, 'Could it be that... the eldest lady covets the beauty of King Ding!!!'
Ning Qingyan didn't quite understand why Li Yangzhou's expression suddenly became weird.
But, now that we’re talking about this topic——
Ning Qingyan approached Li Yangzhou and humbly asked for advice: "Uncle Zhou, why do you think he doesn't want to consummate the marriage with me?"
Li Yangzhou took a deep breath and looked at his eldest lady with wide eyes.
