Mu Zhiling and the three of them saluted respectfully, and said in unison: "The courtiers see Princess Ninghe." ”

Princess Ning He's gaze swept over the three of them, and said softly: "Get up, since you are here to talk to me, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Suddenly, she walked up to Mu Zhiling, looked up and down, and asked, "You are the fifth child of the Mu family?" ”

She looked thirteen or fourteen years old, a whole head taller than Mu Zhiling.

Mu Zhiling raised her head and said softly: "It's the courtier." ”

The corners of Princess Ning He's mouth pulled out an extremely stiff, friendly smile, stretched out her hand and touched Mu Zhiling's cheek, her lips opened slightly, and she murmured meaningfully: "It's good to be born, but it won't let me come forward." ”

When her rough fingers touched the skin on her face, Mu Zhiling almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Her understanding of the princess in front of her was limited to the intersection of the two dynasties in her previous life, in that women's competition.

Then the prince of Liao admired her and asked for peace.

thought that she would be like most princesses since ancient times, and carry the mission of a princess.

She made a request that she would lead an army on a campaign that seemed absurd to all the palace ministers.

She would rather lead the troops to fight than commit herself to the prince of Liao.

I remember that it was my brother who came back to tell her at that time, and he said that Princess Ning and Princess Ning knelt in front of Emperor Mingde in front of hundreds of officials, and her voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was beautiful.

She said: "Father, when does my Great Jin Dynasty need a woman to maintain it?" If the father is afraid that there is no suitable general in this Great Jin, the son is willing to lead the troops to crusade against the Great Liao, and he will regard death as home. ”

At that time, she had not seen the scene with her own eyes, and she had never really seen this princess.

But she remembered those words, even if she was reincarnated, her brother's eyebrows fluttered and she told the scene of this strange conversation that day, and she still remembered it vividly.

Then she wanted to ask something more about Princess Ninghe, but her brother didn't want to say anything more.

When I asked again, my brother was a little annoyed.

When she went to ask her mother and father again, no one wanted to tell her, or it was perfunctory.

Princess Ning He seemed to disappear from everyone's minds.

Just when Mu Zhiling was stunned, Princess Ning He said, "I'll take you around this palace." ”

Having said that, his eyes only fell on Mu Zhiling, completely ignoring the other two beside him.

Mu Zhiling turned sideways to look at the two people beside her, but saw that Pan Jiaojiao's face was not very good, and her eyes were not as enthusiastic as before.

Mu Zhishu looked at ease, and she couldn't see what her expression was.

The three of them walked slowly behind Princess Ning He, seeing all kinds of stone carvings and colorful paintings along the way, and every place was full of prosperity.

Princess Ning and Princess walked briskly to the front, not at all meaning to wander around with them.

Mu Zhiling had to speed up her pace and try to keep up, and she was a little out of breath along the way.

Pan Jiaojiao couldn't walk anymore, so she deliberately twisted it, her whole body fell to the ground, and she shouted, "Ouch-"

Mu Zhishu, who was on the side, hurriedly went to help her, but was thrown away by Pan Jiaojiao.

She really didn't want to move.

Princess Ning He turned her head in her footsteps, glanced down at Pan Jiaojiao, and walked up to her. Bowing down, the corners of his mouth raised, and said, "Miss Pan, is it?" But it's hurt? ”

Pan Jiaojiao's tears accumulated in her eyes, she looked at Princess Ning He, and responded, "I hurt my ankle, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk aisle." ”

Princess Ning stood up straight, squinting.

Pan Jiaojiao sobbed in a low voice.

Mu Zhiling stared at the two of them with a somewhat strange expression, but heard Princess Ning and Princess snort coldly: "Since you can't walk the aisle, then leave me here." ”

"The princess forgives her sins, the courtiers ......" Pan Jiaojiao exclaimed when she heard this, but before she could finish speaking, Princess Ning He, who had already stepped forward, motioned for Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhishu to follow.

After walking away, Mu Zhiling couldn't help but ask: "Princess, Sister Pan, ...... her?"

Princess Ning He didn't stop, and said without looking back: "Do you know what I am most tired of?" ”

Before Mu Zhiling could answer, she continued to say as if she was taking care of herself: "I grew up in this palace since I was a child, and I can tell which kind of woman should have what kind of eyes and what kind of thoughts she has. And what I hate the most is the scheming woman in front of me, who thinks she is very smart, but she doesn't know how stupid she is. ”

Suddenly, she stopped, turned to look at Mu Zhiling, stared at her eyes, and whispered, "Miss Mu Wu, what do you think?" ”

Mu Zhiling didn't expect Princess Ning He to ask herself for no reason, and her palms were sweaty.

It's just that her face is still calm, she purses her lips and smiles, and says, "The courtiers are clumsy and can't see through people's hearts." ”

Princess Ning He took her hand, and there was a thin layer of cocoons in her palm, which was attached to Mu Zhiling's hand, which made her feel different.

Mu Zhiling then remembered that the princess had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her hands were naturally different from ordinary people.

"In this palace, you have to learn to read people's faces and guess people's thoughts, if you can't, how should you survive in this deep palace in the future?"

Mu Zhiling was stunned when she heard this.

Ponder what Princess Ning He said just now.

What does she say!

said that she would be in this deep palace in the future!

Mu Zhiling was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand on her feet.

But for a moment, there was peace in my heart, and I didn't expect it before I came today, didn't I?

Two months later, it was the day when the prince chose a concubine, and the so-called accompanying the princess to talk to relieve boredom was not the intention of the drunkard.

"The courtiers don't want to be in this deep palace, and the courtiers prefer an unrestrained life." Mu Zhiling lowered her head and said hurriedly.

Princess Ning He stared at her deeply and suppressed the smile on her face.

Mu Zhiling raised her eyes to peep, but saw her exhale lightly and said nothing more.

She continued to walk forward, just holding Mu Zhiling's hand and never letting go, and said: "You are just a woman from an official family, if the holy decree comes down, I have to summon you into the palace, is it possible that you will be disrespectful to the decree?" ”

Mu Zhiling's eyes widened and her breathing was a little short.

What Princess Ning said was exactly what she was worried about.

If it was a scroll of holy decrees and an edict, could she really resist it?

Mu Zhishu followed behind the two of them, listening carefully to their conversation, her brows furrowed tightly.

The more I listen to it in my heart, the less it tastes.

How she wished that the decree would be given to her.

If she becomes the crown princess, the prince will become a great treasure one day, and she will be the queen of the high.

But listen to the tone of Ning and the princess just now......

No, she doesn't allow that.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten Gao's advice.

She listened to Mu Zongsheng in everything, and now she has to make her own decisions once, for her own future!

Mu Zhishu was thinking about it, Mu Zhiling and Princess Ninghe in front of her had stopped, she looked up, and there was an octagonal pavilion not far away.

In late autumn, many plants and trees in the imperial garden have withered and withered, and the courtyard is plated with a layer of light yellow, like a sunset. And the brown octagonal pavilion stood in it.

In the pavilion, there were two men, she had been away from Beijing for five years, and she didn't know the two at all.

Just look at the clothes, and the leisurely posture of the two of them......
