Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

After leaving these words, Ayu turned and left. As soon as Leng Yu picked up the chopsticks, Luo Lan lowered his eyes and smiled:

"Xiao Ningzi is the youngest and the most courageous. Princess Xingnan teased him twice, and he was so frightened that he pretended to be sick. It seems that he was really frightened by Princess Xingnan."

"He is an upright person. I heard from Ayu that Xingnan even went to deliver food to him in person, which scared him so much that he had no place to hide. His courage is not only small, but also a bit timid."

"My husband is wrong. He knows that he is just a guard, so he doesn't dare to have too much contact with Princess Xingnan. In addition, he almost got into trouble when he went out with Xingnan alone twice. He must have lingering fears. Later, I’ll go and persuade him.”

"This is good. Princess Xingnan will put all her eyes on Xiao Ningzi, and then the eldest sister's idea will be shattered. Don't you think this is a good thing?"

Luo Lan looked at him and gave him a knowing smile, "Master, let's eat. I'll go see him later."

At this time, Xiao Ningzi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, feeling unspeakable discomfort all over her body.

He was not a lazy person to begin with, but now he had to pretend to be sick. This was simply more difficult for him than going to the battlefield to fight.

He originally thought that as long as everyone went out to hunt later, Princess Xingnan would naturally leave, and then he would be able to get up and move around freely.

But who would have thought that what he was afraid of would happen.

The sound of Princess Xingnan knocking on the door came in at an inappropriate time.

"Brother Ning, Brother Ning, I'm coming in..."

Hearing her voice, Xiao Ningzi quickly covered her head with the quilt, turned around and faced inward, pretending to be asleep.

Xingnan, who was waiting outside, saw that no one answered her, so he pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Xiao Ningzi lying on the bed covered with a quilt, he first called out softly,

"Brother Ning, I heard that you caught the cold? I got you some medicine."

Xiao Ningzi, who was hiding under the quilt, controlled herself hard and tried not to make any sound.

He thought that as long as he didn't say anything, Xingnan would go out.

But she never thought that Xingnan was an extremely patient person. She put the medicine bowl on the table, then came to the bed and wanted to lift the quilt.

Xiao Ningzi pulled her quilt tightly and closed her eyes tightly, fearing that she would find out that she was pretending to sleep.

"What are you doing?"

Ah Hong, who was standing at the door, saw this scene, looked at Luo Lan in shock, and then asked loudly.

Xingnan stood up straight at her question and pointed at Xiao Ningzi's bed.

"Brother Ning caught the cold. I came to give him medicine, but he didn't move. I was worried about him... worried about whether he was dead."

died?

Xiao Ningzi almost lost her temper at Xingnan's words.

Luo Lan raised his feet and stepped across the threshold, looking at Xiao Ningzi who was wrapped tightly around him, he couldn't help but smile:

"Ah Hong, go over and see if Master Ning is dead?"

Hearing the Queen's voice, Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to pretend any longer. He immediately lifted up the quilt, got up from the bed, rolled down to the ground, and came to Luo Lan to salute.

"Bless you, Queen. I only feel the cold occasionally, but it's not serious. How dare I bother you?"

Luo Lan looked at the rosy-faced Xiao Ningzi with worry.

"I heard that you contracted the cold, and the emperor asked me to come and see you. But looking at your rosy complexion, you seem to be much better."

Seeing this, Xingnan quickly came to him and looked at him with his hands on his hips.

"Brother Ning, why didn't you respond when I called you just now? When you heard the Queen's voice, you got up immediately? Are you trying to avoid me on purpose?"

Xiao Ningzi pretended to be innocent and shook her head.

"I don't dare. I just fell asleep and didn't hear Princess Xingnan's call. I hope Princess Xingnan will forgive me for being deaf."

"Hmph, I think you are either asleep or you are ignoring me on purpose. Queen, you have to make the decision for me. I came to deliver medicine to him with good intentions, but he pretended to be asleep and ignored me."

Seeing Xingnan's aggrieved look, Luo Lan raised his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth to hide his urge to laugh.

She could tell from Xiao Ningzi's face that the fact that he contracted the cold must be fake, or in other words, even if he did catch the cold, it was very mild and did not require bed rest.

Now that Xingnan has come to her to make the decision, she should just be a smooth favor.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xingnan seriously,

"Perhaps Master Ning really fell asleep just now. Don't be angry with him. Otherwise, the emperor is going to have a competition later during the hunting. Master Ning has great martial arts and good hunting skills. You let him take you." Maybe we can win, but this time we have to agree in advance that you can’t run around.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She took two steps back and waved her hand in refusal.

"Empress, please spare your life. If you beat me to death, I won't dare to go out alone with Princess Xingnan anymore. Otherwise, the slap in the face will be minor, and I might lose my head next time."

Seeing this, Xingnan pursed his lips and looked at him with aggrieved face.

"Brother Ning, I have already said that the emperor's sister-in-law has wronged you this time, and I will vent my anger on your behalf. Otherwise, I promise not to run around and listen to you. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. Just go with me."

"Princess Xingnan, please choose someone else to accompany you. I feel that I am incompatible with the princess. I accompanied the princess twice, and there were accidents both times. A good thing can only come three times. I really don't dare to accompany the princess anymore." ”

"I have already said that I will ensure that everything is obeyed by you, okay? Queen, could you please say something for me?"

Seeing Xingnan turning his attention to Luo Lan, Xiao Ningzi quickly looked at Luo Lan with eyes asking for help.

Luo Lan raised his head and met Xingnan's pleading eyes.

Neither the left nor the right, so what should we do?

After pondering for a long time, she said:

"Since you two have different opinions, why don't we play a little game and let's listen to whoever wins."

Xingnan immediately nodded in agreement, while Xiao Ningzi hesitated with some worry.

If he agrees to play games, there is a half chance that he will continue to accompany her. Right now, he doesn't want to accompany her anymore no matter what.

Seeing him hesitating there, Ah Hong beside Luo Lan couldn't help but laugh at him,

"What? Princess Xingnan dares to challenge, but Master Ning doesn't dare anymore?"

Xiao Ningzi glanced at Ah Hong, nodded helplessly, and nodded wiltedly.

"Alas! Everything is up to my Majesty's arrangement."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Luo Lan pursed his lips and chuckled, then took off the ring in his hand and showed it in front of the two of them.

"I have a ring here. I hide this ring in my hand. The two of you will compete in the form of rock, paper, scissors. The winner will guess. If the guess is correct, this person will have the final say. Guess If you’re wrong, it’s the other way around. Is that okay?”

Xingnan nodded excitedly,

"Okay, this is fun, I agree."

Xiao Ningzi didn't respond, just nodded.

So the two of them started rock-paper-scissors. As a result, when Xiao Ningzi stretched out his palm, Xingnan stretched out his scissors. There was no doubt that Xingnan won.

She was quite proud of herself, and Luo Lan reminded her,

"Don't be too happy. Now guess which hand this ring is in?"
