Yongping pushed the door open without caring about anything, and Yongning and the maid behind him followed him in.
Xiao Ningzi came to them somewhat at a loss.
"Princess Yongping, are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"
Yongping looked up at him, half-closed his eyes, and snorted coldly.
"How dare you have evil thoughts towards Princess Xingnan? I think you are tired of living..."
Xiao Ningzi thought Princess Yongping was talking about Princess Xingnan taking him as her teacher, so he immediately frowned and explained,
"It wasn't my will. Princess Xingnan insisted on coming to see me."
"Hmph! Princess Xingnan is young, and if she approaches you, you won't refuse her? This princess came here today to tell you not to have any illusions about Princess Xingnan. Otherwise, this princess will definitely not let you off easily."
"I have no illusions about Princess Xingnan. It was she who insisted on me teaching her kung fu. I know that I am of humble status and not suitable to be her master. Otherwise, I would not let her call me Master..."
Seeing that Xiao Ningzi didn't understand the meaning of her words at all, Princess Yongping looked up at him angrily.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm not talking about you becoming my disciple."
If it’s not this, then what else is it?
Little Ningzi was racking his brains to figure out what was going on. Princess Yongning reminded him impatiently,
"Princess Xingnan likes you. You know your own status, so you'd better explain it to her. Don't let her think that you like her too. You don't deserve to like her."
This sentence made Xiao Ningzi laugh and cry.
He is just a guard, how dare he like the princess?
He immediately waved his hands vigorously to explain,
"You two princesses are overthinking it. I'm just a guard, how could I dare to like you? I only taught her martial arts at her request, and I absolutely wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts."
Yongping knew that if she made things too difficult for Xiao Ningzi, not only would Leng Yu disagree, but Xingnan would also make a fuss.
So, all she could do was warn.
So, she raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.
"Go back and tell Princess Xingnan about this. Tell her that you don't like her and ask her to give up on you."
Xiao Ningzi clasped his fists without hesitation,
"I will definitely do as Princess Yongping asks. Please rest assured, Princess."
"It's good that you understand. This princess doesn't want to embarrass you, but you don't want to embarrass me either."
"I understand."
Princess Yongping looked at him with disdain again, turned around, and left with her maids.
Until the place was empty, Xiao Ningzi still bowed his body in a saluting posture.
Princess Yongping's words once again echoed in his mind.
Xingnan likes him?
How is that possible? He is just a guard. Why would the princess like him?
But Princess Yongping came to warn him personally, so it seemed that this might be true.
Thinking of this, he let out a breath, stood up straight, and turned around in a circle at a loss.
Although the little girl from Xingnan is a little bit willful, she is still very cute. It's a pity that they are not the same kind of people at all.
When he learned from Princess Yongping that Xingnan liked him, he didn't know what he felt at this moment. Anyway, it was a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy.
He fell on the bed, carefully recalling the scenes when he was with Princess Xingnan. Which scene made her fall in love with him?
At this moment, he actually forgot about Princess Yongping's coercion, and instead wanted to find a reason why Xingnan liked him. He felt that he was crazy, he must be crazy.
…
The next morning
At the beginning of the morning, before daybreak, Princess Xingnan came to knock on Xiao Ningzi's door. For this, Ayu, who shared the room with him, grumbled angrily,
"Master Ning, your Princess Xingnan is here, please go out and take a look!"
Xiao Ningzi turned over and muttered,
"Are you dreaming? Why is she here in the middle of the night?"
After saying this, he suddenly realized that there was indeed a knock on the door and Princess Xingnan calling out. A Yu might not be dreaming. Could it be that she really came?
What is she doing here so early in the morning?
He was just about to get downstairs to question her, but suddenly remembered that it was he who said that he would start teaching her kung fu at the hour of Mao every morning.
He glanced outside. It was just daybreak. Wasn't it the beginning of the morning hour?
Thinking of this, he jumped up from the bed and started to put on his clothes in a hurry. Ayu questioned him dissatisfiedly,
"What are you doing? Why are you so excited to see someone coming?"
"It's over, it's over. I made a mistake. I promised to teach you at 1:00 AM, but I overslept."
Looking at his flustered look, Ayu half-opened his eyes and said with a wicked smile:
"I think you were just trying to tease me. You thought that by setting the time so early, my delicate princess wouldn't be able to get up. But you didn't tease me, and I got teased by you instead. You're a grown man, but you're really not being authentic."
Xiao Ningzi rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
"Go to sleep!"
After saying this, he straightened his clothes and opened the door.
When Xingnan, who was waiting at the door, saw him, he glared at him unhappily and pulled him directly towards the Imperial Garden.
She was angry all the way, and Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to say anything, just let her pull him.
It was not until they entered the back garden and walked a little further that Xingnan angrily threw his hand away, put his hands on his hips, and asked:
"Master Ning, you told me to come find you at dawn, but look, I've been waiting for you here for a quarter of an hour. Why did you just come out? Are you deliberately avoiding me again?"
Seeing Xingnan's angry expression, Xiao Ningzi suddenly remembered what Princess Yongping had said to him. He clasped his hands together and said:
"Princess Xingnan, I've thought about it and I don't think I'm capable of teaching you. Otherwise, you can ask the Emperor to find you a powerful master. There are many generals with great martial arts skills in the Daning Kingdom's army, and any of them are better than me."
"You want to go back on your word?"
Xingnan suddenly burst into tears.
With the light of dawn rising from the horizon, Xiao Ningzi looked at Xingnan crying and waved her hands repeatedly in confusion.
"Don't cry, I'm not regretting it, I just feel... I feel I don't have the ability to teach you..."
"Brother Ning..."
Xingnan suddenly threw herself into his arms. Xiao Ningzi was so frightened that she raised her hands above her head and kept reminding her,
"Princess Xingnan, please let me go! Please let go! What if someone sees us?"
"I won't let go, Brother Ning. I like you. My sister-in-law told me I can't like you, but I just like you. I want everyone to see it. I want everyone to know that I like you."
…
Xiao Ningzi felt the blood in his brain starting to rush to his head, and his heart began to pound wildly. He suddenly became at a loss and didn't know what to do.
He tried to retreat in a hurry, but Xingnan hugged him even tighter.
