Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 78
She didn't say anything for a long time, Ning Xun was used to it, knowing that she was used to escaping at this time, and she didn't force her, just about to withdraw her hand, but she gently held her wrist.
The ointment she applied had not yet been fully absorbed, and when she held it like this, it would inevitably stick to his hands, cool and sticky.
She pressed her cheek to his palm, and slowly raised her eyes to look at him, "I believe in Your Highness." β
She had always been a good talker, she knew when to say something, and she had been able to count the good things that had come out of her mouth over the past year.
But between truth and falsehood, he understood the weight of her words in a moment.
He slid his Adam's apple heavily, and the hand holding her face slowly rubbed it, and his voice was low: "Think clearly?" β
"Figured it out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that his eyes had darkened.
He glanced at the still bright sky, swallowed silently, and interrupted him in time: "Shen Shizi just said that His Royal Highness and Fourth Highness are hunting with the saints, doesn't His Highness need to go back?" β
"I'm not here, wouldn't the emperor be more worry-free." Ning Xun didn't care, the hand moved to the back of her neck, rubbed it lightly and heavily, and said abruptly: "Don't let him in front of me in the future." β
He paused, then added, "You can't meet him behind my back." β
Rank Chi blinked: "That...... If you don't mention it in front of Your Highness, you can see it if you tell Your Highness? β
His hand on the back of her neck suddenly clenched, and he chuckled, "You can try." β
Ning Zhen was dressed in a dazzling bamboo green riding suit, drew his bow in the gallop, and aimed at a fox not far away.
It's a silver fox, with a smooth and smooth fur, just enough to make a hand warmer for Xining.
The bowstring was full, and just as the arrow was about to break through the air, the figure in front of him flickered - at the last moment, Ning Zhen turned around, and the long arrow "swished" into a tree in the distance, and the arrow feathers shook.
With such a big movement, the silver fox naturally ran away.
Ning Zhen was angry, and when he turned around, he saw Ning Mian's face pale, clutching the reins in his hand tightly, and said, "Second Emperor Brother......"
"The fourth brother came by coincidence, the fox ran away is a trivial matter, if I react a little slower and shoot the fourth brother, how can this matter be counted?"
Ning Mian eased up a little, lowered his body by two points, and was full of apologies, "I came too quickly, my vision was blocked by the tree, and I didn't see that the second emperor brother had already opened the bow, so I couldn't help it." Silver Fox is waiting for me to compensate the second emperor brother, and I hope that the second emperor brother will not blame ......"
Ning Mian is a real prince's faction, Ning Zhen has been weak in the past few months, and everything has gone smoothly for the prince's faction, and even Ning Mian has won a little blue eyes from the saint.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhen didn't have a good face for him, sneered, and insinuated: "What to blame, it's just a beast, and you dare to run around in this forest." This time it's also a temporary delivery. There are still a few days left in the spring hunt, and I want to see if its luck can continue to improve. β
"How can you hurt your brother and my brother for the sake of a brute."
Ning Mian had no choice but to smile temperedly when he heard this, "What the second emperor brother said is true. β
Ning Zhen pinched the horse's belly and drove the horse to Ning Mian's side, "But the fourth brother is in a hurry, what is the matter?" β
Ning Mian's face changed, and he stood up: "Also...... It's nothing. β
Ning Zhen laughed a few times: "The fourth brother is not a six- or seven-year-old child, if it is really nothing, how can he be so desperate in the hunting ground?" β
"Or is there anything you can't tell me to know as a brother?"
Ning Mian couldn't think of a pretense to cover up the past for a while, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "It's really nothing, but I am a little worried that the eldest brother has not shown up since he started hunting today." β
"The hunting ground is complicated, in case the people who follow you are negligent...... I can't rest assured. β
Ning Zhen squinted, "The eldest brother is good at riding and shooting, and the fourth brother is too worried." Maybe it's just a personal matter. However, the eldest brother has always been close to the fourth brother, what the eldest brother is doing, I don't know, how can the fourth brother not know? β
Ning Mian had a little bitterness on his face: "It's not because of those Hu people." β
Ning Zhen heard about this, and his interest immediately faded - it was no secret that someone from Hu came to look for Ning Mian around the Shangyuan Festival.
Those Hu people Xu heard that the four princes were the most easy-going among the princes who could take charge of things, and it was easy to handle, so they secretly sought Ning Mian, broke through with him, and persuaded him to persuade the saint to stop the war with peace.
Those Hu people were right, and after several persuasions, Ning Mian did move his mind.
It's just that I didn't expect Ning Mian to dare to be self-conscious, so he pondered for a few days, and before playing, he still went to ask the prince.
Ning Zhen pretended to sigh: "The eldest brother fought in the early years, especially in the years when he was in the frontier, and he even formed a blood feud with the Hu people. β
Of course, he wished that Ning Xun would be separated from Ning Mian.
Although Ning Mian is useless, her sense of presence in her father's place is weak, and her mother's family is even less powerful, even Concubine Wen is not fighting or grabbing, if it weren't for the thin heirs of her father and emperor, and she gave birth to Ning Mian, she alone would not be able to survive the concubine position at this time.
But in any case, if there is one more person in Ning Xun's place, there will be more trouble on his way to winning the heir.
Ning Mian's expression darkened a little, he smiled reluctantly, and bowed his hand to him on horseback: "I'd better go and find the eldest brother, the hunting ground is no better than other places, you have to see people with your own eyes, so you can rest assured." β
Ning Mian searched for it, and finally found the camp tent.
The palace people were busy going in to spread the word - he was in a hurry, and the palace people thought it was something big.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, Ning Xun came out of it, his robe loosely draped over his body.
Ning Mian glanced at the burning clouds in the sky, "Brother Huang, this is?" β
"I didn't feel well, so I rested early."
Ning Mian couldn't help but glance at his complexion, which was more ruddy than usual, and was speechless for a while.
He just glanced into the tent, and was immediately blocked by Ning Xun without a trace.
"What's the matter, so anxious to find Lone?"
Ning Mian retracted his gaze at this time, bowed his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my father asked the imperial brother when he was hunting today, and said...... said that it was more difficult to see the emperor's brother than to ascend to the sky, and I don't know if there is still him in my eyes. β
Ning Xun chuckled in his heart. Whether he goes or not, the emperor has said.
But the superficial work still had to be done, and he didn't blink: "You can also see it, Gu is indeed unwell today, and when he gets better tomorrow, he will immediately go to his father to complain." β
"Anything else?"
Ning Mian hesitated again and again, not knowing whether to speak or not, Ning Xun frowned: "I have something to say." β
"It's going to be a palace test soon, and in this vein, the royal brother must pay more attention. After all, the hunting ground is not as good as the palace, and sometimes it is impossible to prevent it. Especially...... "His voice lowered, "be careful of the second emperor brother." β
The author has something to say:

Chapter 67
βCan't make him wait too long. β
Ning Xun sent Ning Mian away, without further delay, and immediately returned to the camp.
He sat neatly dressed at the table, guarding a table of dishes, and when he saw him come back, he lifted the lid of the soup cup he was holding like a baby in front of him, leaned over and sniffed it.
It's been a rare sight of appetite on her face these days.
Her taste is fresh, and the food in the hunting ground is mostly all kinds of meat, either steamed or grilled, and the ingredients are heavy, for her, she feels fresh after eating once or twice once in a while, and only feels greasy when she eats too much.
He could only bring the cook from her small kitchen from the East Palace, and he just arrived today and made fish soup for her with fish from the stream.
The fish soup is milky white, served with tofu and side dishes, and it looks simple, and the entrance is rich and smooth.
I haven't eaten a few bites of food seriously for a few days, and I'm hungry again, so I drank three bowls of fish soup alone, and it was inevitable that I would accumulate food.
So I had to go out and eat.
Her horse was left behind by Shen Che, and Ning Xun planned to pick another one for her, but this one had already been selected the most agreeable, and it would take a day or two to change to a new one.
It was getting dark, and he was walking on the grass, and his hand was suddenly clasped by him.
Ten fingers clenched, his posture was so natural that she even thought that they had traveled thousands of miles like this.
There was no one around, and it just so happened that she hadn't said something to him yet.
She pondered for a moment and called him: "Your Highness, I ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching. She stopped talking in time and turned her head to look over.
Fortunately, there was no one, except for her previous horse, which did not know where it had gone, and came back along the same route.
The horse stopped in front of her and arched her head slightly, his breath warm.
The chichi was simply flattered, and immediately let go of Ning Xun's hand, hugged it and patted and touched.
Ning Xun looked at her with some amusement, "Do you like it so much?" The East Palace can also be raised, and you can take it back when you leave? β
Rank Chi's eyes lit up: "Really? β
"What's fake about this?" He flicked her forehead, "Tell me what you like, lest I have to guess." If you can buy it, you will naturally buy it, and if you can't buy it, there will always be a way for you to buy it. β
Completely carried away by the joy of being able to return to the East Palace to raise horses, he nodded and turned on his horse without hearing what he was saying.
Ning Xun personally led the horse for her and walked around slowly.
The words that had just been brewed were interrupted like this, and I didn't know how to speak again for a while. Ning Xun asked, she said something casually, he glanced at her, and didn't ask any more.
The two chatted casually for a while, and Ning Xun's voice suddenly paused.
Something was wrong with the horseβlike it was agitated.
At this moment, the horse neighed and suddenly went berserk.
It was too late to pull her off the horse, and in desperation he could only jump on the horse, protect her in front of him with one hand, and pull the reins violentlyβthe horse's hooves were raised, and they fell heavily to the ground, but they did not stop at all, but ran into the dense forest as if frightened, leaving only a mess of hoof prints.
