Chapter 34 Big Black
Back in the Leng Palace, it was just getting dark, with sporadic lights flickering overhead, and lights were hung up under the eaves early.

Dongyue sat on the steps, resting her head on her elbows, waiting for someone to come back.

It wasn't until a turquoise figure appeared in the distance that her eyes began to focus, and she ran over happily, "Your Majesty, you are back!"

"Go out and buy something," Nan Zhen handed her a few small bags in her hand, "Did anything happen when I left?"

Dongyue shook her head, "Eunuch Gui came over and sent some lanterns."

She pointed to the big lantern under the eaves to show Nan Zhen.

The bamboo strips are fine, and the dark red tissue paper is used as the base, with some orchid-like patterns dotted on it.

"The slave girl was worried at the time, what would happen if Eunuch Gui found out that the empress was not there, but luckily he didn't ask, put down the lantern and said a few words before leaving."

Nan Zhen smiled, "Don't worry, he won't ask."

During the two trips out of the palace, Xiao Rongxi had always sent people to follow her. Presumably when she returned to the palace, the dark guards had already reported it.

Dongyue was a little confused, and was about to ask in detail, when suddenly two "woo hoo" attracted her.

The light was dim just now, she hadn't seen it, but now when she walked to the bright hall, she noticed that Nan Zhen was holding a little black dog in her arms.

"What a cute puppy, where did it come from?"

Nan Zhen handed the puppy to her, "I picked it up on the road, it should have been discarded, no one wanted it, so I hugged it back after looking at it poorly."

"That's a good thing." Dongyue shook her hand and teased the puppy. "Lenggong is very boring, so I just want to be a companion."

A pair of doggy eyes stared at her momentarily, and she whimpered, Dongyue's heart softened, "Mother, what is it talking about?"

Nan Zhen was washing her hands, when she heard the voice, she turned her head and raised her voice slightly, "Are you asking me?"

She doesn't understand dog language either.

"Oh yes." Dongyue chuckled, scratching its chin with her fingertips, "By the way, ma'am, does it have a name?"

"No."

Dongyue: "Look at its dark body, why not call it Xiao Hei?"

It's cheap and trouble-free, and it sounds easy to feed.

"Hmm..." Nan Zhen was silent for a moment, "This name is not too domineering, now I can be called Xiao Hei, how about I get older in a month?"

Dongyue thought for a while, "That's right."

"Then call it Dahei."

Nan Zhen settled the case, and Dongyue naturally applauded, and cheerfully carried Dahei to the kitchen to find a meat bone for him to grind his teeth.

The summer rain comes quickly, and it is thunderstorm weather for several days in a row.

Nan Zhen stood in front of the window, with her hands behind her back, watching the strings of rainwater dripping from the eaves hit the floor, splashing lightly.

Looking up, there is already a clear sky.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about the Mingyue Pavilion and the relationship between Xiao Rongxi and Xiao Yiheng, but she has never gotten a satisfactory result.

She was worried that Mingyue Ling had become the focus of the two's secret contention, and it would be too difficult to get out of the body.

Nan Zhen raised her hand and touched the jade pendant hanging around her neck, her brows and eyes drooping.

Seeing that the rain had stopped outside, she was about to go out for a walk when Dongyue hurried over, her lips turned white and she was out of breath, "Mother, it's not good, Dahei is gone!"

On the night of Dahei's arrival, she made a nest for him with old clothes, and fed and played with him on time every day.

But today when she woke up, the kennel was empty, and she searched everywhere in Lenggong, but she couldn't find it, so she came over to tell Nan Zhen in a hurry.

Nan Zhen frowned, "Could it be that he ran out?"

"No, I locked the door... It's over, that dog hole!"
