One touch and one silence

"Come on! Try it!"

This place is very close to the Queen Mother's palace, so Nanzhi naturally knew that the Fourth Prince would not dare to do anything. That's why he was so fearless.

Moreover.

Nan Shu beside her had already started rolling up his sleeves.

As if the Fourth Prince was provoking him, he went to beat him up.

After Nanzhi finished speaking, he pulled Nanshu away, not giving Nanshu any chance to attack.

"Xiao Qi, why are you pulling me? Look at how arrogant that boy is." Nan Shu was a little dissatisfied.

"Royal sister, that place is so close to the Royal Grandmother's palace, and his mother is the Royal Grandmother's niece. Think about it! It will be you and me who will suffer in the end."

When Nan Shu heard Nan Zhi's words, she finally understood and slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it. Look at me, I was so mad at that little Si that I was confused."

"It's okay, Xiaoqi, just wait. When there's a chance, I'll avenge you." Nan Shu looked so adorable when he solemnly protected his child.

Nanzhi saw it with her own eyes and felt warm in her heart.

"Xiao Qi is fine. It's just a few words. It's not a big deal. There's no need for you to be so serious."

Nanzhi tilted her head up with a smile and looked at Nanshu obediently. That expression made Nanshu's heart melt.

"Wow... Xiaoqi, why are you so cute? I love you so much!"

After saying that, he reached out and pinched Nanzhi's cheek. The feeling made Nanshu very satisfied.

Nanzhi did not refuse and quietly let Nanshu play with her.

So, is this what a girl's heart is like when she's lying to her?

This imperial sister is so easy to satisfy.

After pinching for a while, Nan Shu felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Qi, why don't you resist?"

Nanzhi smiled and replied to Nanshu: "Because the royal sister is happy!"

This sentence made Nan Shu even more moved.

"Silly boy, don't let anyone pinch your face in the future. I tell you, people out there are mean. When they see a well-behaved kid like you with a cute little face, they all want to pinch it!"

Nanzhi had a feeling that Nanshu was coaxing a child.

"Remember in the future, don't let them pinch anyone, okay?"

Nanzhi looked at Nanshu's expression seriously, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Yes! Listen to my sister."

Nan Shu was satisfied and happy!

When Nanzhi looked at her, she felt a little warm in her heart. It turned out that this was what having a sister was like.

It feels good to have someone protecting you.

In fact, Nanzhi is a very simple person. Although she has seen a lot, she understands how precious the kindness others show to her is.

She didn't want to let Nan Shu down.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and only separated when they reached the outside of the Queen's palace.

After parting, they each returned to their own palace, and Nanzhi did not use the things he had prepared in the morning.

It seems that she was overthinking it. If a boy is bullied outside, not all of them will report it to their parents.

At least she looked up to the Fourth Prince.

Days without worries are so comfortable no matter how you look at them.

At noon on the third day, Nanzhi was having lunch when the maidservant beside the queen came, followed by a maidservant and holding a tray in her hand.

"Meet His Majesty the Seventh Prince!"

Nanzhi looked and saw that it was Lingxiang who was beside the queen. "I wonder what Sister Lingxiang is here for?"

"In reply to your Highness, the Queen Mother asked you to wear this outfit tonight. There will be a banquet tonight. All the princes, ministers, and noble ladies will be present."

Nanzhi now understood that they were going to take her out to show her off to those people.

"Thank you so much! Sister Lingxiang, please thank my mother for me."

Lingxiang said goodbye with a smile: "Then I will take my leave!"

After saying that, he was about to say goodbye, and Nanzhi gave Shuhua a look.

Shuhua hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the purse that he had prepared long ago into Lingxiang's pocket.

"Thank you, Sister Lingxiang!"

Lingxiang did not refuse, but instead became more fond of the Seventh Prince.

It’s not because of the benefits of the purse, but because the Seventh Prince has been growing up in a Taoist temple and is still so young, yet His Highness actually knows all these worldly ways.

She couldn't help but look up to this prince.

Shuhua accompanied the person all the way to the outside of the palace before turning back.

Nanzhi looked at the tray in Shuyue's hand. It contained a set of prince's court robes and a jade crown, which were symbols of a prince's identity.

Shuyue took care of the dress carefully, looking particularly cherishing it.

Cherish so much that Nanzhi suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.

She didn't even know where this sadness came from.

Soon it was night, and just as Nanzhi finished cleaning up, Nanshu came over.

"Xiao Qi, the emperor sister is coming with you!"

This girl was still the same as before, her voice arrived before her. Nanzhi's nervous mood suddenly disappeared completely.

"Yes! Thank you, Imperial Sister!"

Nanzhi responded with a smile and allowed Nanshu to look at her.

"Not bad, not bad! My little Qi is so pretty!"

"Come on, sister will take you in. Brother Crown Prince is already waiting for us there. Don't worry, we will take care of everything."

Nan Shu knew that this banquet was probably the first time that Xiao Qi was in front of everyone. She was worried that Nan Zhi would be nervous as she had never experienced such a scene, so she came specially to bring her along.

Nanzhi's heart was filled with warmth.

He followed Nan Shu obediently, listening to her telling him various things.

Nanzhi listened carefully all the way and nodded from time to time.

The journey was obviously very long, but with Nan Shu's care and instructions along the way, it seemed especially short.

I vaguely remember that the person who was worried about her last time was her grandmother.

By the time Nan Shu finished explaining all the precautions, they had arrived at the destination.

"If Xiao Qi really doesn't know what to do, just smile and nod, okay?"

Seeing that Nanzhi understood, he took Nanzhi into this place where it was clearly dark but as bright as day.

The prince soon saw Nan Shu and Nan Zhi, walked up to them with a smile, and took them to sit down.

Nanzhi looked at the prince's outfit today. On the yellow python robe, there was an embroidered lifelike dragon. This dragon had no claws, so it was called a python. It goes without saying that anyone who dared to wear this in the Daling Dynasty must have an extremely noble identity.

The prince is very good-looking, with all the advantages of the emperor and the empress. If the prince didn't dress so elegantly, he would be even three times more handsome than the prince.

Just a quick glance and you can tell that this person is extremely precious.

The moment the prince sat down on Nanzhi's seat, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear in comfort: "Don't be nervous, Xiaoqi, your brother is here."

This sentence is better than ten thousand sentences.

Nanzhi nodded obediently.

There is someone to help you and someone to protect you. Nanzhi feels very happy at this moment.

The prince left after he finished speaking, but he left the steward Li beside him.

As people arrived one after another, the seat was gradually filled up and the emperor finally arrived.

When Nanzhi saw this scene, he understood a little bit. It turned out that the important characters always appeared at the end.

"May your Majesty be safe!"

"May Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Concubine live in peace and happiness!"

Everyone present knelt down respectfully and greeted the man sitting in the upper seat.

The man raised his hand gently to signal, and the butler beside him said, "Get up!"

Everyone then stood up.

"This is a night banquet. The assassin incident last time dampened the mood of the nobles, so today's dinner is held to calm the nerves of the nobles."

"Tonight, I and all of you will not return home until we are drunk!"

As the emperor's voice fell, the ministers below were all happy.

"Then this wine..."

Nanzhi saw a man who looked a bit like her father, and she stood up and made eyes at her father.

Especially the eyes, they are so similar.

"Uncle, don't worry!"

The man got what he wanted and sat down happily.

"Hahaha! I won't go home until I'm drunk!"

The maids placed a jug of wine on each person's table one after another.

Nanzhi looked around casually and saw several people. They picked up the wine jug, put it to their noses and smelled it, then a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

The emperor saw everyone's expressions and was very satisfied.

It was worth it that he made a detour to visit Xiaoqi's Taoist temple.
