One touch and one silence

Nan Shu stared at him, as if saying, "I won't leave unless you tell me."

"That was the secret guard just now. Come and tell me that you are here."

The prince shook his head helplessly.

"I'll tell you, you must have known I was here, you did it on purpose just now."

"Hmph!" Nan Shu said righteously, his face showing an attitude of "I'm angry, come and coax me."

The prince was so annoyed by her that he lost his temper.

"Okay, okay! It's my fault."

"Tell me, what on earth did you come to see me for? Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."

Nan Shu felt a little embarrassed that his thoughts were seen through by the prince.

"Nothing! I just want to ask, when will the prince of Yongcheng Marquis be able to come back?" Nan Shu shyly pulled the prince's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Oh! So it's about this? That's a pity. He told me that he wanted to achieve great things, and I agreed. But it may be difficult within three to five years?" The prince told his sister the news regretfully.

The look in his eyes was exceptionally cold.

Thinking about what he had asked the secret guard to find out, and what the secret guard had just reported, he felt a chill all over his body.

No one dared to take advantage of his own sister and then get away with it, without even considering whether he would agree or not!

"Ah! It's been so long! Brother Crown Prince, please give him an order and ask him to come back!"

The prince was helpless with Nan Shu's coquetry. He placed his hands on Nan Shu's shoulders and spoke in a serious and earnest tone.

"Shu'er, he asked for it himself. I agreed to it for your sake. Otherwise, how could he join the army? Also, he is a man, so he naturally wants to make achievements and establish a career. How can he always stay in the backyard? A man cannot be without ambition, especially a man who is suppressed by his stepmother at home."

There were two meanings in the prince's words, but I don't know how much his sister heard.

Nan Shu was a little disappointed and muttered a few words under his breath, "Humph! You left without even telling me, how annoying!"

The prince pretended not to hear and changed the subject.

"Do you still want to go find Xiao Qi? I see your maid has a food box in her hand!"

"Yeah! Xiaoqi is the same, he never comes to play with me!" Nan Shu said sullenly.

"Why don't you ask her yourself and you'll know!" The prince's tone was coaxing.

"Okay!" Nan Shu said and walked away dejectedly.

She was a little unhappy because she didn't get the answer she wanted and her coquettish behavior didn't bring her what she wanted.

A few years! How long will that take! By then...

Thinking of this, Nan Shu's eyes became a little red.

"Princess, why don't we go and see His Majesty the Seventh Prince secretly? You didn't scare the Crown Prince just now, but we can definitely scare His Majesty the Seventh Prince this time!"

Jiuer looked at her master's depressed expression with red eyes, and came up with a bad idea.

When Nan Shu heard this, it was not impossible. He casually wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looking very interested.

"Keep your voice down!"

Nanzhi's yard was very close and not far away, so Nanshu and others arrived there quickly.

When Nan Shu arrived, he saw Xiao Qi's two maids at the door. When they saw Nan Shu, they were about to kneel down and greet him.

Nan Shu signaled them not to speak. The two looked at the princess, and as they had no other intentions, they just wanted to play with their master, so they didn't say anything.

Nanzhi was doing the homework assigned by the teacher and had a terrible headache. She felt someone coming in and thought it was Shuhua Shuyue.

"Shuhua, pour me a glass of water. Your master is dying of thirst."

Nan Shu picked up the teacup beside him and handed it to Nanzhi. Nanzhi didn't look back and put his hand there.

It was not until the teacup was placed in Nanzhi's hand that she suddenly felt a different touch and turned around.

"Imperial sister? Why are you here? Where are the calligraphy and paintings?" Nanzhi didn't even frown.

Nan Shu felt bored when he saw Nan Zhi not being afraid.

"It's not funny at all. I thought I could scare you, but you're too calm!"

The little girl is so cute when she mumbles.

"Who would be scared of such a beautiful girl?" Nanzhi joked.

Nan Shu felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Hmm! I came here today to bring you some pastries. They were made by Lingxiang who works beside our mother. They are delicious!"

"I brought it especially for you to try!" He said like a child who wanted to be praised.

"Yes! Thank you, sister!"

Jiuer took the food box from Yueer's hand, opened it, and placed the pastries inside on the table.

Nanzhi picked up a piece and handed it to Nanshu, then picked up another piece and started tasting it.

"Hey! Is this mung bean cake?" Nanzhi couldn't believe it. In her subconscious, mung bean cake was green, and the things made from it would naturally be green. The ones she had eaten before were also green, so how could it be white?

"I like to eat this red bean cake the most. It's delicious. Try it. It's just the right soft and glutinous texture, not too much or too little. It's my favorite."

Nanzhi looked at Nanshu's praiseful expression, picked up another piece of red bean cake and took a light bite.

It was soft and sticky, just as she said, not a bit more or less, and not too sweet at all. It just had the aroma of red beans and honey, and was really delicious.

Nanzhi nodded in agreement, "It's really delicious!"

The two of them ate some cakes and chatted for a while, and Nanzhi started to do her unfinished homework.

Nan Shu watched curiously from the side, and then she understood why Xiao Qi hadn't come to play with her these days.

"Is this why you didn't come to play with me? Who assigned you this assignment? But your handwriting is really not good. You need to practice more!"

Nan Shu took a look at what Nanzhi had written and couldn't help but comment on it.

Nanzhi:……

Thank you, but where is the sisterly love you promised me? Are you here to attack me?

Nan Shu saw that Nanzhi's pen stopped moving, and he looked as if he was shocked.

She said with some embarrassment: "It's not particularly ugly. You just started learning. It's like this. Really, just take it slow!"

"Yes! Take your time!"

Nanzhi then continued to write stroke by stroke. She was not used to calligraphy. It was too soft and very straining on her arms.

Nan Shu was lying on the other side of the desk, watching Nan Zhi practicing calligraphy quietly.

I enjoyed watching it very much.

From time to time, he pointed out the mistakes in Nanzhi's writing.

Nanzhi:……

She had never met someone who loved to be a teacher so much. This guy would point out the slightest mistake to her and would not let her off unless she rewrote it.

Can she finish practicing a thousand big characters today?

孽 孽!

For the first time, Nanzhi did her homework until very late at night. She didn’t know what time it was in ancient times, but she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.

Shuhua Shuyue had already asked them to go back to bed.

Nanzhi went to bed late and was almost late for class the next day.

I finally handed in the homework to the teacher, but unexpectedly, that guy Nan Shu came again.

The pretext was to give her guidance on her homework.

Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble? Nanzhi had no doubt that this guy was 100% bored, so he was definitely here to cause trouble.
