Chen An hurriedly finished the last bite and was about to take a few steps back and sneak away, but he saw that the governor by the window had disappeared, and then the door to the study room opened.
Liao Yan strode over in deerskin boots and said, "Princess, we just counted and there are only nine big characters."
The smile on Nan Qing's face disappeared, "Impossible, it was clearly written in ten big letters."
"Your Highness can go and count." Liao Yan got out of the way.
She depressedly held up her skirt and strode into the study. They were the only two people left in the entire courtyard.
Chen An silently swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.
Liao Yan glanced at his hand that had been hidden in his sleeve. He had just taken something to eat and hadn't shown much of it. His words diverted her attention, and she didn't notice any blood on Chen An's hand.
"Are the pastries delicious?" Liao Yan said in a calm voice.
Chen An didn't know how to answer. Of course it was delicious. The cooks in Mozhu Pavilion's small kitchen were very skilled, and since this was made for the Sixth Princess, it was naturally more refined and tasted better.
"Speak." Liao Yan frowned.
Chen An quickly knelt down and said, "It's delicious."
Liao Yan glanced at him, turned around and entered the study without saying anything.
Chen An's hands were shaking a little, so he stood up, packed up the empty plates on the stone table, and took them out.
After leaving the courtyard, the young eunuch saw the things in Chen An's hands and hurriedly stepped forward: "Oh, godfather, how can I let you clean up these things? My grandson can come."
Chen An: "Get out."
…
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
A confidant sent a letter to Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu opened it and read it, and the more he read, the more he frowned.
When the sixth sister wanted to live in the palace next to the Mozhu Pavilion, he had an unspeakable ominous premonition. His father, who had always loved the sixth sister, actually agreed to such a dangerous thing.
After living here for only a short time, Sixth Sister frequently visited Mozhu Pavilion and seemed to have a close relationship with Liao Yan.
Who is Liao Yan? He is a traitor. Nowadays, eunuchs are in power. Corruption and buying and selling of official positions are all done by eunuchs. Liao Yan is the backbone of these people. In recent years, they have become more and more rampant.
The sixth sister grew up in a deep palace. She had no experience in the world and had an innocent and pure temperament. She and Liao Yan were completely different from each other, so how could they get together.
It must be Liao Yan who did something.
Nangong Yu read what was written in the letter. The sixth princess stayed in Mozhu Pavilion for two hours. She felt a headache just reading it. She wanted to kill Liao Yan. What kind of ecstasy soup had he given to Liu Mei?
He burned the letter, got up and went out, and his attendant immediately followed him.
Nangong Yu walked outside Nangong Qing'er's palace and wandered for a while. When he was hesitating whether to go in, he saw Nangong Qing'er coming out with a kite and the palace maid.
Nan Qing saw him with sharp eyes, and she stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the prince brother."
The prince usually doesn't come here. She and Liao Yan are the only people living here. He, a male protagonist in the world, cannot be looking for Liao Yan, so he came to find her.
Nan Qing always showed courtesy and was not close to Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu looked at the kite in her hand and said, "You have loved flying kites since you were a child, and you would drag me to fly them together when you were a child."
The memory of the original owner when he was a child was very vague, so Nan Qing didn't quite remember what he said. She looked up at him in confusion.
Nangong Yu: "The cakes Liu Mei sent last time tasted very good."
"If Brother Prince likes it, I'll have someone give you some more."
"good."
She was just being polite, but Nangong Yu agreed.
She agreed and asked the kitchen to prepare it. She would not be reluctant to part with a few pastries.
"Sixth sister is going to fly a kite."
"Well, that's right."
"How about I hang out with Sixth Sister?"
"..."
Nan Qing finally agreed. She needed to get acquainted with the prince for the sake of character development. After all, the original owner and he were not born from the same mother. But in order to change Liao Yan's fate, she needed to get familiar with the prince.
Er Er: "The prince is a nice person. He cares about your sister very much."
Obviously Nangong Yu came to see her this time, and he should have something to say.
Nan Qing: "Well, if we get along slowly, maybe we can become a good brother and sister."
However, under the guidance of the imperial concubine since childhood, the original owner did not like the queen or the prince.
She needs to change slowly and not become a good brother and sister too quickly.
Nangong Yusheng was handsome and handsome, and his kite flying skills were a bit unfamiliar, but after he flew the kite into the sky, he would immediately hand the string to Nan Qing to play with.
There happened to be a strong wind.
Nangong Yu: "Sixth Sister, please pull the thread, but the wind will easily break the thread."
"No, this is a special silk thread. Taking advantage of this gust of wind, I can fly the kite higher than that tree!" Nan Qing gestured to the big tree in the distance, which should be the tallest tree in the palace.
Just by hearing her voice, you can tell she is in a good mood.
Nangong Yu encouraged her: "Okay, you try."
The wind came and went quickly. Nan Qing kept letting go of the line and pulling the kite in the right direction. At the last moment when the wind dissipated, the cat kite with wings reached the top of the tree.
"Brother Prince, look, let me set it high!"
"Qing'er is so amazing."
Nan Qing was very happy to be praised. Although she felt a little awkward, she still chatted with him.
Nangong Yu asked her about her dental disease.
Nan Qing: "Brother Prince, don't worry, my teeth haven't hurt for a long time."
"That's good, Sixth Sister. I heard that you often come in and out of Mozhu Pavilion. Are you familiar with Liao Yan?"
Nan Qing's kite-flying hand shook and he looked sideways at him: "Brother Prince, who did you listen to?"
Could it be that there are already some rumors in the palace?
Nangong Yu clasped one hand behind his back and said, "I think this is impossible. How could the Sixth Sister, Jin Zhi Yu Ye, be familiar with a eunuch? How could she go in and out of Mozhu Pavilion every day?"
There was something belittling and looking down on Liao Yan in his tone of voice.
Nan Qing's smile faded and he said nothing.
Nangong Yu noticed that her interest had dropped, and immediately changed the subject: "The end of autumn is the birthday of Sixth Sister, and Emperor Ji Lili's father wants to make it grand. If there is any treasure that Sixth Sister wants, my brother will go and find it for you."
The royal daughter has grown up, and as soon as her fifteenth birthday has passed, it is time to consider choosing a prince-in-law.
But if she doesn't have the man she likes, she can take her time.
It was not his turn to worry about these things. The emperor and the imperial concubine would definitely choose a good consort for her.
Nan Qing then remembered that his birthday was coming soon.
What kind of gift would Liao Yan want?
"Sixth sister?" Nangong Yu noticed that she was distracted.
"No, Qing'er doesn't have any favorite treasures. Brother Prince is interested in it."
His tone became unfamiliar again.
Nangong Yu was helpless.
After flying the kite, the atmosphere between the two was not as good as it was at the beginning.
Nan Qing was tired of flying the kite, so Nangong Yu took the kite back for her.
When Nangong Yu left, she couldn't help but tell her: Sixth Sister should not get too close to Liao Yan.
Is this the first time he has said this?
Nan Qing agreed perfunctorily, but Nangong Yu thought she was obedient and left with a smile.
"Er Er, the male protagonist of the world is a bit obsessed with girls."
…
Mozhu Pavilion.
Chen An: "Master Governor, the Sixth Princess has been flying kites with the Crown Prince this morning."
