This is a strong liquor. Rong Yang rarely drinks, so he naturally couldn't handle drinking such a strong liquor all of a sudden.
I choked on the first sip, my eyes welled up with tears, my face turned red, and I coughed incessantly.
She shook her head to indicate that she could no longer drink.
Seeing her sister's expression, Rong Ning quickly said, "Sister... this kind of wine is indeed hard to accept the first time you drink it, but after a few more sips, you'll become addicted."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yang frowned slightly and looked at Rong Ning with an ambiguous expression, thinking to himself, "How could such strong liquor not make you feel intoxicated?"
She asked suspiciously, "Ah Ning...you weren't lying to me when you said this wine doesn't make you drunk, were you?"
Rong Yang secretly speculated that Rong Ning had been behaving very well-behavedly since leaving Nanyang City and had not done anything excessive.
But they will be entering the Dajing territory tomorrow, and if Rong Ning has any plans, then tonight will be their last chance.
Therefore, she must remain vigilant at all times to avoid being taken advantage of by Rong Ning and making an irreparable mistake.
However, when she looked up, she saw Rong Ning's pitiful expression again, which made her soften.
However, she gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "I'm not drinking this wine. If you want to drink it, I'll watch you drink it. It's all the same anyway."
"What's the point of that..."
Rong Ning snorted, put the wine pot aside, and gave up.
After a while, a palace maid brought up food prepared by the small kitchen. Rong Yang had no appetite and didn't even look at it before having it taken away.
Rong Ning stopped her, "Put it down..."
After everyone had left, Rong Ning ladled a bowl of soup for her. "Sister... I've been running around everywhere since I arrived in Kangye City, and I haven't eaten anything properly. I'm starving. Sister, please eat with me."
This fish head and tofu soup was specially ordered by me. Why don't you try it?
As she spoke, she placed a few more bites of food on Rong Yang's plate. Seeing that Rong Yang did not react, she sighed, "Sister, how can I feel at ease letting you enter the Great Jing Palace alone like this?"
"Or I can stay and be your personal maid, accompanying you to Dajing."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yang slowly came to her senses and scolded in a low voice, "A Ning, don't talk nonsense. Even if Da Jing wins beautifully this time, it is not worthy of making the two legitimate princesses of the Southern Dynasty compromise. Don't say such things again!"
Seeing her like this, Rong Ning knew that the provocation had worked. She knew how to manipulate her older sister, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Yes, yes, yes... what you say is right, sister! I was confused! I was stupid!"
Sister, don't hold it against me, drink your soup!
He placed the soup in front of her, paused, and continued, "Sister, I was still young when Mother passed away. So many years have passed, and many of my memories of her are quite vague, or even completely forgotten. But I remember that Mother loved this simple fish head tofu soup the most, and sometimes when she was in the mood, she would make it herself."
Rong Yang looked at the steaming bowl of fish head tofu soup, her eyes welling up with tears. She slowly took the spoon and gently stirred the soup in the bowl, as if she could feel her mother's presence in the warm atmosphere.
“Yes, Mother loves this fish head tofu soup the most…” Rong Yang said softly, her thoughts gradually drifting back to her childhood.
After giving birth to Rong Ning, her mother's health deteriorated, so she focused all her attention on her three children.
Sometimes she would cook herself, but she wasn't talented at it, and her dishes were generally unsatisfactory. Only her fish head tofu soup was exceptionally delicious, as she had mastered its essence.
Whenever something happy happens, my mother will cook this delicious fish head tofu soup. Its rich aroma fills the air and brings joy to everyone.
Now that their mother is gone, this memory remains deeply imprinted in their hearts.
The two women sat in silence, savoring the warm fish head and tofu soup. In that moment, they felt as if they had returned to the time they spent with their mother, those beautiful memories flooding back, filling them with immense warmth.
“I think my mother will protect me!” Rong Yang said after a long silence.
Rong Ning did not reply, because she did not believe it.
If my mother were truly watching over us from heaven, many of these things would not have happened.
Like many nights before, Rong Ning and Rong Yang slept in the same bed tonight. They should have been resting properly, but Rong Yang couldn't sleep, so he could only keep talking to Rong Ning.
Rong Ning listened to her talk and occasionally handed her water.
As she spoke, perhaps she was sleepy, and Rong Yang's consciousness gradually blurred. Before falling asleep again, she grasped Rong Ning's hand and whispered, "When Father Emperor was about to bestow a title upon you, I told him to bestow upon you the title of 'Princess Ning'an.' I hope you will enjoy peace and tranquility year after year, and be blessed with lasting happiness."
But for some reason, my father disagreed…
Oh... what a pity...
Ah Ning...you must...take good care of yourself!
As she was talking... she fell asleep.
His head rested on Rong Ning's shoulder, and his breathing was steady.
Looking at Rong Yang's peaceful sleeping face, Rong Ning felt a warmth rise in her heart.
She gently stroked Rong Yang's hair, as if she had returned to the time they spent together in their childhood.
Back then, they were always carefree.
Today, despite the passage of time, they still accompany each other, and this kinship has never changed.
As night deepened, moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon the two of them, like a layer of silver gauze.
Rong Ning sighed softly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the peaceful moment.
"Sister..."
After a long while, Rong Ning called out to her softly, but received no response.
"Sister..."
"Sister..."
