The ninth princess of Chasing Moon Xuan hurriedly pulled Ning Zhixuan to sit down on the soft collapse of the golden embroidery branch, and then twisted a piece of lotus root and osmanthus sugar cake and handed it to her: "This is what I like to eat every day, Sister Ning, try it." ”

In the past, Ning Zhiwen didn't know why the Ninth Princess regarded her as a confidant, but now she knows that it is mostly because of Shangguan Hanyue, and she can't help but be a little worried that she will see Shangguan Hanyue again.

"Sister Ning?" The ninth princess looked at Ning Zhixuan, who was stunned, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Sister Ning, don't worry, Brother Yue, he won't come." ”

Ning Zhiwen was slightly embarrassed when she saw that the ninth princess seemed to have guessed her thoughts, but she quickly sorted out her thoughts and chuckled: "How can the princess mention Prince Yu in a good manner, the courtiers just thought of some other things." ”

"Brother Yue is really like a god." The Ninth Princess smiled coquettishly and said, "He expected that you would not be very comfortable when you came to my Chasing Moon Xuan, so he asked me to tell you that he would not come to disturb you, and asked you to eat more snacks and drink a few more cups of tea." ”

Ning Zhiyun thought that the second half of the sentence was added by the Ninth Princess herself, but when she thought that Shangguan Hanyue would not appear, Ning Zhiyun was still secretly relieved, and immediately picked up a piece of lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake and took a bite.

"Sister Ning hates Brother Yue?" When the ninth princess saw that Ning Zhixuan heard that Shangguan Hanyue would not come, the whole person relaxed, so she asked tentatively.

The reason why Ning Zhixuan didn't want to see Shangguan Hanyue was actually impossible to say even herself, even if she recited a set of reasons: "Prince Yu's status is precious, and the courtiers are just the daughters of his subordinates, so they dare not have the intention of clinging to him." ”

"Sister Ning." The ninth princess suddenly looked at Ning Zhiyun very solemnly and said, "In the future, Sister Ning will not call me 'princess' in the future, and don't call me 'courtier' herself." ”

Throughout the ages, the monarch is the minister, the monarch is the courtesy, and the minister is loyal, how can he trespass at will.

If Ning Zhiyun responded to the words of the ninth princess, it would be disrespectful to be spread by someone with a heart, and the disaster could accumulate in the family.

The ninth princess seemed to understand the doubts in Ning Zhiyun's heart, and immediately sent a group of palace ladies who were waiting, and then looked at Ning Zhiyun's eyes full of sincerity: "Sister Ning may think that I am close to you because of Brother Yue, but in fact, I want to be close to my sister because of our similar background." ”

Ning Zhiyun only thought of the ninth princess's mother who died in a pillar just three days after she was born, and her mother also spilled blood on the spot when she was just seven years old in order not to affect Ning Zhiyun.

"Sister Ning, I lost my mother since I was a child, although my father treated me well, but after all, he still has state affairs, how can he take care of me every day." The ninth princess seemed to think of the past, and her eyes gradually dimmed, "I remember because of my father's favor, although I have no worries about food and clothing, I am also extremely lonely. ”

Listening to the ninth princess talk about the sadness of her childhood, Ning Zhixuan also thought of the happy time when she was accompanied by her mother before she was seven years old. After her mother left, the Bai family never treated her badly in terms of food and clothing for the sake of her virtuous reputation, but in the end, she would only use Juanzi to carefully wipe the sweat on Ning Wanghua's forehead, and would twist her eyebrows and tell her to wear more when Ning Wanhua was greedy and thinly dressed. Even though Ning Zhiyun seemed to be golden and noble at that time, no one would really care about her joys, sorrows, and sorrows. It's just that in the middle of the night, when no one is half-asleep, I remember my mother's past greetings to me, gritted my teeth and swallowed the whimper, only to silently let the tears slide down and soak the soft pillow.

"At that time, my father sent the best to Chasing the Moon Xuan, and my mother and the palace people were worried about my father's favor for me, but they didn't dare to snub me." The Ninth Princess said and looked at Ning Zhiyun and said, "But there are only people who take care of me in this huge harem, but there are no people who really care about me." ”

The bitterness in the heart of the ninth princess Ning Zhixuan really empathizes, when she not only lost her biological mother, but also because of her natural strange illness was all regarded as a monster, when her mother was there, she felt that she was grounded in Yunxi Pavilion and still had her mother to accompany her to relieve boredom, but after her mother left, she felt that every day in Yunxi Pavilion was so difficult, and she was discouraged at a young age that her life was too long, so long that there was no end and hope.

"Until one day I met Brother Yue, who was even more miserable and depressed than me, but would never feel sorry for himself." The ninth princess had a soft light in her eyes when she mentioned Shangguan Hanyue, as if Shangguan Hanyue was a touch of warm sunshine when she was miserable and young, no wonder their brother and sister relationship is so good, you must know that it is difficult to have any true feelings when you are in the royal family, presumably they have experienced hardships together in order to have such a deep brother-sister relationship.

At first, when she heard that Shangguan Hanyue, Prince Yu, who was favored by Emperor Qi, had a miserable time when she was young, Ning Zhixuan was shocked and speechless for a while.

However, she also quickly reacted, that is, even the existence of a vicious stepmother like the Bai family in the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, not to mention the emperor's family that has been affectionate since ancient times, not to mention the young son who was tortured to death, I am afraid that it is more of a corpse and two lives.

Next, the ninth princess told how she walked through the darkest years of her life with a thirteen-year-old resolute teenager when she was seven years old.

In fact, the queen wanted to go to Lingyun Temple to practice early in the morning, but she was reluctant to go to Shangguan Hanyue, who was still young, until Shangguan Hanyue was eight years old, she ruthlessly left him out of the palace and went to Lingyun Temple to practice.

At the age of eight, he can remember, but he is still a child. Ning Zhiwen can imagine what kind of ordeal Shangguan Hanyue suffered after the queen left the palace, even a concubine like her in the Prime Minister's Mansion could not escape the poisonous hands of the Bai family, let alone the royal family in the battle for the throne. Thinking about it, Shangguan Hanyue didn't die unexpectedly, didn't have a crippled body, a broken heart, no resentment, and distorted his heart, so he had God's mercy.

It is said that the imperial concubine was afraid of Emperor Qi and did not dare to touch the queen's mother, but it did not mean that she could not let Shangguan Hanyue suffer, the ninth princess still remembered that the first time she noticed Shangguan Hanyue was in the cold winter wax moon, when Shangguan Hanyue was wearing thin clothes and staggered back to her dormitory from the imperial hospital.

"You said he went to the imperial hospital to test the needle in exchange for some money?" Ning Zhiwen also followed her master to the north to practice medicine in her previous life, and only then did she know that the imperial doctor in the palace would give a generous reward for people to test her needles in order to improve her medical skills.

To put it bluntly, the test needle is to take a living person to do experimental acupuncture points, although the imperial doctors are experienced and top-notch doctors, and will not cause death, but the pain when the silver needle enters the acupoint is not very bearable.
