Xiao Ningzi hid at the door of the west wing and watched Luo Xue bring Xingnan in. He was so anxious that he kept stomping his feet on the spot.
After a while, Ah Gang came to the west wing and looked at Xiao Ningzi, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He patted his shoulder with a gloating look, and scared Xiao Ningzi so much that he trembled.
"who? "
"Master Ning, what's wrong? You're so startled."
Xiao Ningzi turned around and glared at him unhappily.
"You scared me to death, is something wrong?"
"Nothing. The Second Miss asked me to ask you. I heard you were out. When will you be back? Princess Xingnan came here for you. Duoduo is still sick, so she can't stay in the main hall with you all the time!"
this……
Xiao Ningzi waved his hand directly,
"Just let the Second Miss take care of herself. Don't worry about her. If she wants to wait, let her wait!"
Ah Gang folded his arms and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Master Ning, what did this Princess Xingnan do to you? Why did she scare you like this? Is she here to seek revenge on you?"
Xiao Ningzi nodded without thinking.
"Yes, she and I have a deep hatred. When the Second Miss goes to take care of Duoduo later, you can tell her that I..."
"What did you say? That you won't be back for a year or two? The Second Miss has already said that, but she said that even if it takes ten or eight years, she will wait for you. I think you should go and tell her in person if you have anything to say. Otherwise, what will happen if she stays here?"
Xiao Ningzi was still spinning in circles, Xiao Cao came over to remind him,
"The Second Miss said that they came here for you. There's no reason for you not to go out and meet them."
After saying this, she did not forget to roll her eyes at him.
"Grown man, what a coward."
"Who's scared?"
"You're just a coward. The maids in our house all say you're a coward. The princess has come to our house. No matter what the grudge is, you have to go out and face it. What kind of person is it to hide here?"
"I……"
Xiao Ningzi really had no words to express his grievances. These girls had no idea of Xingnan's real purpose in coming to see him.
However, what Agang said made sense. It was not a good idea for him to keep hiding like this. Princess Xingnan would not give up unless she saw him today.
Thinking of this, he simply gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said righteously as if he had made a great decision:
"Okay, this matter will be resolved sooner or later anyway, and I can't keep hiding from her."
Leaving these words behind, he took big strides, like a general ready to die on the battlefield, and walked towards the main hall of the palace step by step.
At this time, Xingnan was complaining non-stop.
"This is not my fault. I was just joking with my sister-in-law, but she took it so seriously and even told the emperor about it. As a result, it caused a huge misunderstanding. That's why Brother Ning got angry with me and ignored me."
After listening to Princess Xingnan's story about her fake pregnancy, Luo Xue couldn't help but laugh. She could imagine Xiao Ningzi's helpless look when she was wrongly accused.
She raised the handkerchief in her hand to cover the corner of her mouth and chuckled.
"Xiao Ningzi is not a narrow-minded person. He won't ignore you just because of this. I've already sent someone to find him..."
When she said this, she looked towards the door. When she saw Xiao Ningzi, she immediately pointed to the door with joy.
"He's here. If you have anything to say, you can talk it out in person. I still have to go see Duoduo, so I won't stay here with you any longer."
The moment Xingnan saw Xiao Ningzi, her face lit up with joy. She walked straight towards Xiao Ningzi.
"Brother Ning..."
Xiao Ningzi looked at Luo Xue awkwardly. Luo Xue smiled at him, walked out of the main hall, and sent all the servants out.
He saw Princess Xingnan coming towards him, and he stopped and saluted respectfully.
"Greetings to Princess Xingnan."
Xingnan's face darkened immediately, and he asked,
"Brother Ning, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately distancing yourself from me?"
"Princess Xingnan, you are wrong. There is already a distance between you and me. There is no need to widen the distance."
"Brother Ning, are you still angry with me?"
When saying this, Xingnan was about to pull Xiao Ningzi, but he dodged him.
"There are differences between men and women. Princess Xingnan, please avoid suspicion."
Xingnan stamped his feet in anger, glared at him with his hands on his hips,
"What do you mean? Did you do this on purpose? I came to you today to apologize, so why are you acting so indifferent?"
Xiao Ningzi frowned secretly and replied hesitantly:
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate dare not. Princess Xingnan is not at all wrong. There is no need to apologize."
"Brother Ning, I know I shouldn't have framed you. I caused you to be misunderstood and locked up for an entire night, but I really didn't mean it. I was just joking with my sister-in-law. Who would have thought she would take it seriously? Brother Ning, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
She came to him, pouting her lips, tears suddenly welled up in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Xiao Ningzi hurriedly tried to stop her in a panic.
"Princess Xingnan, please speak directly if you have anything to say. If you act like this, others will think I am bullying you."
"You are bullying me... Ugh, what did I do to you? Why are you ignoring me? I sneaked out of the palace to see you, and you are still hiding from me. I don't have any thorns on my body, so why do you treat me like the plague when you see me?"
this……
Xiao Ningzi was speechless for a moment. He hated to see women cry. Seeing Princess Xingnan's aggrieved look, he blinked a few times at a loss.
"Well... don't cry, don't cry. I'm not avoiding you on purpose. I just... oh, I just think that you are of noble status, and it would be detrimental to your status to hang out with a guard like me all day."
"I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? Brother Ning, I like you. If you like me too, let's go and ask the Emperor to issue a marriage decree for my brother..."
"Princess Xingnan..."
Xiao Ningzi raised her voice and interrupted her.
"Princess Xingnan, you and I are not suitable, and I will never like you. I came to see you today just to tell you that from today on, you should not come to me anymore. We...we are not suitable."
"Brother Ning..."
She blinked her tear-stained eyes and looked at him.
"Brother Ning, do you really not like me at all? Even a little bit is fine!"
Although Xiao Ningzi couldn't bear it, he nodded heavily.
"Yes, not at all, Princess Xingnan, go back!"
Leaving these words behind, he strode towards the door.
Xingnan stood behind him, looking at his resolute back, and shouted,
"Mr. Ning, you are a bastard, a big bastard."
With his back to her, Xiao Ningzi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was indeed a bastard, but he also knew that only by cutting the Gordian knot could one avoid dragging things out.
Princess Xingnan was a noble woman. How could a mere guard like him dare to have any thoughts about her? Besides, Princess Xingnan just thought it was more fun to be with him, and such thoughts would soon disappear.
She is still young, and it will be good for everyone if we can give her up early.
