Soon An Ran met the former fourth prince and the current new emperor in the palace.

An Ran felt that the fourth prince still liked her because he kept peeking at her.

But on the surface, the fourth prince treated her no differently than other Taoist nuns and Taoist priests. They treated her the same.

In this case, An Ran will naturally not take the initiative to mention anything, just to see what happens next.

The Taoist priests and nuns didn't know what the new emperor was thinking, and they only thought that he invited them to pray for his mother and concubine. After all, the fourth prince often went to their Taoist temple to pray for blessings.

But not everyone is ignorant of Cintiq’s thoughts.

The fourth prince is the eunuch in charge.

After dinner, everyone was about to say goodbye. The chief steward privately stopped An Ran and said, "Master Qiao, your Majesty would like to invite you to come over and talk."

When An Ran heard that the chief eunuch said that the new emperor had invited him, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. She secretly thought that she wanted to see what the former four princes had to say when the new emperor appeared.

She is not afraid of what the new emperor will do to her. Firstly, the new emperor is a good person, so she does not need to worry. Secondly, she has been practicing martial arts for many years, so she is not afraid of anything if it happens.

Soon An Ran arrived at the side hall, where the new emperor was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Miss Qiao still has the same style."

An Ran wanted to complain, thinking, she didn't know him yet? Not long after she entered the Taoist temple, this man secretly came over to see her - taking a sneak peek while she was walking in the forest - but he thought she didn't know

, but he didn’t know that she practiced martial arts, noticed his movements, and knew about it clearly.

She usually takes a walk to eat after a meal. Since the Taoist temple has a fixed meal time, the time for her walk is also fixed. In this way, it gives the new emperor a chance to see her without special arrangements.

After that, Xinti often came to watch her take walks, but An Ran just pretended not to know.

When the new emperor said this, An Ran found it difficult to expose it, so he could only say: "The same is true for Your Majesty."

The new emperor wanted to say that he liked her back then, but the situation was tense and he was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to marry her and wanted to ask her for forgiveness.

However, these words cannot be said out anyway. After all, An Ran is already a monk, and he has a queen. Saying these words always feels a bit blasphemous to her. After all, it doesn't matter if he talks about his former relationship. Should he accept her as his concubine?

He didn't want his beloved to be inferior to others, but at the same time, he couldn't do anything to ruin his future, so he couldn't say these words. Because he couldn't say them, he couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

Just when the two of them were speechless, a report came to the door: "The Queen heard that your Majesty invited Taoist priests to pray for blessings, so she also came to have a look and wanted to buy some sesame oil money."

An Ran heard that the Queen had arrived and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since the Queen is here, please allow Xiao Dao to leave first."

The emperor couldn't say anything to stop him, so he could only watch An Ran resign.

When An Ran came out, he met the queen.

The queen glanced at her doubtfully, wondering why this Taoist nun came out of the emperor's house alone? It was so strange.

After leaving the emperor's place, he started to inquire about it.

Because the emperor did not meet An Ran secretly, there were many people in the palace when the two met. At this time, the queen inquired a little and found out that the emperor had invited An Ran to meet alone.

Knowing this, the queen couldn't help but have a subtle expression. After all, although Qiao Anran was a Taoist nun, she was also a young single woman. The emperor actually invited Anran to meet alone. She didn't believe it if she said it was nothing.

Thinking of the fight for favor in the harem, the wise concubine gave birth to a son, and her arrogance became more and more arrogant. Her son should not be killed by her one day. It was time to find someone to divert her attention, let them fight, and protect her son.

Thinking of this, the queen called her chief eunuch and gave these instructions.

So soon, as soon as An Ran returned, she heard that a eunuch in the palace came to deliver the decree, saying that the queen believed in Taoism and knew that she was a Taoist master, so he invited her to sit in the palace tomorrow and exchange some teachings with her.

An Ran doesn't believe this at all.

She became a monk just to complete her mission, so she did not deliberately cultivate her reputation. In this way, she was actually a little transparent in the Taoist temple. Since she was a little transparent, how could the queen know that she was a Taoist expert, and now she invited herself to the palace?

I'm afraid it's just a courtesy, but it's either adultery or theft.

Thinking of meeting her when I came out yesterday, I thought that she might have doubted the relationship between him and the emperor, and might be unhappy and cause trouble for him.

Although he felt that she might be looking for him to enter the palace to cause trouble for him, Anran was not afraid. When he received the imperial edict, he calmly told the eunuch that she would arrive on time. After all, the queen used Yizhi, which was the same as the imperial edict.

The effect is almost the same. As an ordinary person, it is impossible for her to resist and disobey.

Early the next morning, the palace sent a luxurious carriage to pick her up.

An Ran quietly got on the carriage to the palace. She didn't send anyone to tell her family about it. She was mainly afraid that her family would worry. But in fact, they didn't need to worry. She would be fine. Even if something happened, the emperor was still in the palace.

Here, regardless of whether he likes him or not, he can't let the queen do anything to the Taoist nun he just entertained yesterday. No matter what, she still has martial arts, and the queen can't do anything to him.

However, she originally thought that the queen was suspicious of her relationship with the emperor, so she planned to cause trouble for her. However, it turned out that it was not the case. The queen was quite enthusiastic towards her, speaking in a real tone, and An Ran said hurriedly: "

In fact, I am just an ordinary monk and cannot be called a 'real person'."

The head eunuch called her a polite name, and she didn't need to explain it again, but the queen called her a "real person", but she still didn't dare to take it.

Then I thought, could it be that I was overthinking it? Is this queen really here to exchange teachings with her?

Isn’t it right? If she really wants to communicate, she should find those well-known female champions, right? Why would she want to find a transparent person like herself? So it’s probably not that she is overthinking, there is a reason.

After listening to her words, the queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty has hosted a banquet for the real person, which means that the real person must be outstanding. How can he not be worthy of it?"

An Ran heard her mention the emperor, and the secret message came. Is this finally getting to the point?

So he immediately said: "Your Majesty mainly invites the seniors from Xiaodao. We juniors are just relying on their blessings."

The Queen smiled and said: "I don't believe what Master Qiao said. If His Majesty can summon Master Qiao alone, it must be because Master Qiao is extraordinary. Otherwise, Your Majesty will summon Master Qiao alone?"
