Chapter 22: The Storm (4)
The wine is half-drunk, the song and dance have also been watched, and the Fu Le has also been heard, and now the royal relatives play freely, because Chinese New Year's Eve is a family banquet, so there is a lot less restraint than the usual banquet, and the young princes and nobles, princes and princesses can behave at will, allowing themselves or their elders to win in front of the emperor.
There have already been several princes and princesses who have behaved, and now it is time for the fifteenth princess to appear, the girl is about the same age as Mu Ning, and her face is very exquisite, as pretty as a spring peach, and as plain as an autumn chrysanthemum. The program that the fifteenth princess Zheng Lang wants to perform is to play the piano, the piano sound is long, slowly, lingering and compassionate, others are fascinated by it, but Mu Ning just wants to sleep when she listens to it, she has studied piano in modern times, and has also taken the level, but she can play symphony, serenade and the like, all of which are passionate and brisk melodies, where have you played a rhythm like the fifteenth princess, it is like a lullaby for Mu Ning, Mu Ning began to be in a daze when she listened to it, and she didn't know when the piano sound stopped.
There are many royal relatives at the banquet, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs waiting beside him, Mu Ning is in a daze, and no one will pay attention to it, but today there is a sixth prince Zheng Cong who has been observing Mu Ning, it is different, he has been waiting to catch Mu Ning's little handle. When Mu Ning was still in a daze, Zheng Cong opened his mouth to speak, but Mu Ning didn't hear what he said at all, because Mu Ning was indeed dozing. Yesterday I knew that I was going to attend the royal family's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet today, or I came alone, so Mu Ning had insomnia at night, and he was already sleepy, and just listened to the slow and lingering piano sound, Mu Ning's sleep came.
Princess Rui Lin Fu saw Mu Ning's eyes dull and her expression was wooden, she knew that it was going to be bad, this little girl actually fell asleep listening to the sound of the piano, if it was other princesses, it might not be too serious, but this is the fifteenth princess, the emperor is the most beloved among all the princesses, what can I do! Princess Rui hurriedly pinched Mu Ning with her hand under the table, but Mu Ning did not wake up, nor did she react, Princess Rui could only pinch Mu Ning hard when she saw this, only to see Mu Ning suddenly fall down on the banquet table, and Princess Rui screamed in fright, Zheng Xuan immediately ran over and picked up Mu Ning, only to see blood flowing down the corners of her mouth, and immediately scared Zheng Xuan's three souls out of the seven spirits, and walked out of the hall with Mu Ning in her arms, with tears on her face, in order to wake up Mu Ning, she pinched the little girl lightly and heavily, it was really a second blow, but how could it become like this, Princess Rui was at a loss. The people at the banquet saw Zheng Xuan and Princess Rui leaving in a hurry, and they didn't know what to say, because Mu Ning suddenly fell down and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the royal relatives present also saw it, especially the sixth prince Zheng Cong saw how things suddenly became like this, it was a pity that he wasted the opportunity to rectify Mu Ning, but didn't Mu Ning bleed from the corners of his mouth just now, he should have had some kind of acute illness, and he just died, and the sixth prince Zheng Cong thought about it.
On the carriage of King Rui's Mansion, Princess Rui kept saying to Zheng Xuan with tears in her eyes that she couldn't stop saying sorry, but she did only pinch Mu Ning twice...... Zheng Xuan hugged Mu Ning tightly, comforted his mother, and urged the coachman to speed up and rush back to the palace. At this time, Mu Ning's voice suddenly sounded in the carriage: "Zheng Xuan, you are about to strangle me to death." Mu Ning struggled to leave Zheng Xuan's embrace.
Princess Rui looked at Mu Ning blankly, Zheng Xuan was the same, only to see that Mu Ning had a leather capsule-like thing in her hand, which she had just made out of her mouth, Mu Ning saw that she had scared Princess Rui Lin Fu and Zheng Xuan, and she was very upset, and she didn't need the two of them to ask, so she explained the truth of the matter word for word.
It turned out that when Mu Ning knew that she was going to attend the royal family's family banquet, and she was still going alone, she was very nervous, afraid that she would accidentally cause some trouble, and even bring trouble to herself and even to her family and the Yue Mansion, so she made a lot of preparations, this cortical capsule containing a blood sample is one of them, she put the cortical capsule in her mouth in advance before the banquet, this is just a foolproof preparation, and she didn't think that she would use it. But Mu Ning didn't expect that she would doze off when she listened to the fifteenth princess play the piano, but she didn't sleep deeply, Princess Rui woke up when she pinched her for the first time, knowing that she had made a mistake, but she didn't know what the problem was, and those royal relatives were staring at her, so she could only keep silent and think hard about countermeasures; When Princess Rui pinched herself again, Mu Ning was also angry: I'm sleepy, tired, and want to go home to sleep, your royal family wants to toss me, do I have to accompany me? If you do a good job of offending people, if you don't do well, you will be condemned, who has the kung fu and patience to play with you, I just want to go home and sleep well, and how worried the family should be when I go back late. So Mu Ning bit hard, and that's it......
After Mu Ning finished speaking, seeing that Zheng Xuan and Princess Rui didn't speak, they just stared at themselves, and moved to the corner of the carriage with some fear, and suddenly Zheng Xuan's wanton laughter broke out in the carriage, he scooped Mu Ning in the corner into his arms, and rubbed Mu Ning's hair vigorously, this little girl he is going to decide, even if he lets him go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he will not hesitate to let him go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, his princess should be such a real, unassuming and wanton existence. And Princess Rui was also laughing, smiling happily, tears kept flowing, if she could be like Mu Ning, she would not have become a person who died before she was old, and her son Zheng Xuan would not have suffered so much damage, from now on, her son would be accompanied by Mu Ning, and she could rest assured.
In order to perform the whole play, Mu Ning stayed in the Rui Wangfu that night, Zheng Xuan also sent someone to inform the Yue Mansion, which immediately made people turn their backs, and the whole court knew that the concubine of the Rui Wang's inner family had a recurrence of the old illness and almost died. From then on, no matter what the size of the banquet, as long as Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning went together, Zheng Xuan would sit with Mu Ning, which meant to take care of Mu Ning, so as not to make Mu Ning sick, even if it was a sudden crime, it was good to take measures to rescue, which blocked a lot of trouble for Mu Ning, and Mu Ning was very happy.
