Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Fortunately, the stream was not deep, so she quickly ran to the middle of the stream, picked up the leaf, and ran quickly to the bank.

But the stream was too cold in February, and she started sneezing as soon as she stepped ashore.

But at this time, she didn't care so much. She squatted by the river, filled the water with the leaf, and ran quickly in the direction of Xiao Ningzi.

At this time, Xiao Ningzi had woken up. When he found that there was no trace of Xingnan around him, he was immediately anxious to get up and look for it.

At this moment, he saw Xingnan running toward him with a leaf in his hand. He couldn't help but stepped forward and blamed:

"Princess Xingnan, can you please stop running around? Our horse is tired, let it have a good rest, and we have to continue on the road. If something happens to you again during this period, do you want to kill me? ?"

Xingnan bit his lip aggrievedly and looked at him, then raised the leaf with only a little water left in front of him.

"Master Ning..."

Only then did Xiao Ningzi notice that Xingnan was wet all over, including his hair.

He looked at her puzzledly,

"You...you fell into the river?"

Xingnan bit his lip and nodded.

"I wanted to get this leaf, but accidentally fell it into the river."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningzi immediately cursed angrily,

"Princess Xingnan, I dare not care if you like to play, but you let yourself fall into the river for a leaf? Fortunately, the river is not deep. What if the river is deep and drowns you? It doesn't matter if you die, don't Will it harm me?"

Xingnan looked at him with aggrieved face. She wanted to explain, but the water in the leaf had already leaked out.

"I originally wanted to...want to get you some water, but I didn't want to...ah yawn...ah yawn..."

She sneezed several times in succession. Xiao Ningzi looked angrily at the horse that was still lying on the spot, and stepped forward to pull its reins. However, the horse lay on the spot, not moving at all, and had no intention of getting up.

He raised his hand to his forehead, looked forward vigorously, then looked up at the sky, and sighed helplessly.

"It's about an hour and a half away from the royal hunting ground. It's already past four o'clock. The horse doesn't want to get up, so we have to walk..."

When he said this, he looked Xingnan up and down. Seeing her shivering with cold, he sighed softly, showing a helpless expression.

Although it felt like early spring this February, the weather was still very cold, and her whole body was soaked with water. If she were allowed to walk from here to the camp, she would die of exhaustion or freeze to death.

Thinking of this, he took off his cloak, came to her, put it on her with Xingnan's horrified eyes, and then pointed to the place where he just lay,

"You sit there for a while. There are haystacks there. It's warm. I'm going to find some firewood and some fodder for the horses. How can you hurry up if your clothes are not dry?"

Xingnan obediently followed his instructions and sat down on the spot. Before Xiao Ningzi was about to leave, he turned around and looked at her again.

"Don't take another step away from here, I'll be back soon."

He didn't want to look for her again. He had just experienced life and death, and he no longer had so much energy.

Xingnan wrapped Xiao Ningzi's cloak tightly around herself, but her clothes were wet. The tighter she wrapped herself, the colder she felt.

Xiao Ningzi quickly found dry firewood and horse fodder.

He first piled the horse's fodder to the horse's mouth, then came to Xingnan with dry firewood, ignited the firewood with the fire starter he carried, and then ran back to find some sticks.

It wasn't until the fire started burning that Xingnan felt a hint of warmth. She moved closer to the fire. Xiao Ningzi hurriedly urged her,

"You go over there, take off your coat, and I'll bake it for you."

Xingnan looked at him dumbly,

"No... no need!"

"Your clothes are already soaked. If you go back like this, you won't be able to participate in tomorrow's hunting competition unless you catch the wind and cold."

Xingnan wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with her body, but before she could say this, she sneezed twice in succession again.

She knew that she had just made Lord Ning angry, and she could not make him angry again now.

She had no choice but to obediently run behind a big tree, take off her coat, tie up Xiao Ningzi's cloak, and then hug her coat and come to him again.

Xiao Ningzi took her coat and said, "Go and sit over there. Don't get too close to the fire."

Xingnan snorted and obeyed his words again.

Xiao Ningzi spread her clothes in her hands and began to turn them over and over to bake them on the fire.

At this moment, Xingnan was suddenly very moved. Even though he had been ordered by the emperor to protect himself, it was not his fault that he got wet, yet he baked her clothes so carefully.

And his cloak made her feel very warm. If it hadn't been for his cloak, she would have shivered from the cold.

Xiao Ningzi seemed to notice that she was looking at him. He frowned and raised his head, and met her eyes.

He quickly looked away, cleared his throat in embarrassment, changed her clothes in another direction, and then asked in a hushed tone:

"Um...you're probably hungry, right?"

Xingnan licked his dry lips, touched his belly, and nodded aggrievedly.

"I haven't eaten anything this morning, so I'm really hungry."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Why did you have to come so far away? I finally found out that with you, my life will be in danger at any time. Can I beg you? I saved you this time. For my sake, don’t come to me again in the future, I still want to live a few more days, I haven’t married yet and have children, you can’t let me die young!”

Xiao Ningzi's words made Xingnan couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

Xiao Ningzi frowned and asked. Xingnan quickly stopped laughing and looked at him in surprise.

"In your country of Daning, do you want your father-in-law to marry a wife and have children?"

"Of course you don't need it, father-in-law. They have already purified their six sense organs. For example, father-in-law Qin, he is just like a woman. Why do he still want to marry a wife?"

"then you……"

Xingnan blinked a few times and looked at him curiously.

Xiao Ningzi suddenly looked at her and asked coldly,

"You don't really think I'm a eunuch, do you?"

"Aren't you?"

"You are the eunuch."

When she said this, Xiao Ningzi threw the dried clothes in her face and said angrily:

"Go over there and change and give me my clothes back."

Xingnan didn't react. She always thought Master Ning was an eunuch. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

She stuck out her tongue secretly and ran to change clothes dejectedly.

When she brought Xiao Ningzi's cloak to him, she looked at him slightly apologetically,

"Master Ning, I'm sorry. I always thought that you were the father-in-law. Playing with you would not arouse any suspicion, and there would be no need to consider whether men and women should be intimate with each other. That's why I dared to bully you unscrupulously. I misunderstood you."

Xiao Ningzi had already pulled up the horse. He frowned and took his cloak. After putting it on, he patted the horse's mane and reminded her:

"Hurry up and get on your horse. If you don't go back for a while, the emperor will definitely send the Ouchi guards to find you."

"But...but you are not a eunuch, how can I ride the same horse with you?"
