Chapter 169 Just Call Me Brother

Shen Ningning looked back in surprise, her face full of confusion.

"Brother Xie, aren't you going?"

"You led me into the mountain so calmly, so Chen Ye must not be at your home."

Xie Mingxu said calmly, led the war horse to his side, and tightened the harness of the horse.

Shen Ningning's long curled eyelashes blinked twice: "Yes, he is really not at my house."

Just as the little one was wondering if she was going down the mountain with Xie Mingxu, Xie Mingxu patted the saddle on the horse.

"Would you like to try riding a horse?"

Shen Ningning opened her watery eyes: "Me? But I can't."

"You just have to learn if you don't know how. You are young and can learn faster." As he said that, Xie Mingxu grabbed the little guy's arms and easily put her on the horse.

This was her first time riding a horse. The horse under her seat moved its front hooves, which made Shen Ningning's pink face tremble.

She tugged on Xie Mingxu's sleeves with her little hands: "No, I'm afraid."

Xie Mingxu's voice was calm but patient: "Don't be afraid, just imagine that you are such a tall person, and the horses are your feet, walking for you."

Shen Ningning was still a little nervous.

Xie Mingxu said: "If you are afraid, just hold on to the reins."

The next second, Shen Ningning tightly grasped the crown of his hair with her small hands.

Xie Mingxu:......

He said solemnly: "Grab the reins around the horse's neck."

Shen Ningning's little hand finally succeeded in holding the horse's rein, and the horse stood firmly.

Xie Mingxu nodded slightly: "That's it, lightly touch the horse's belly with your foot."

Shen Ningning complied and touched the horse's belly, and the horse immediately paced forward.

The little guy let out a soft and cute cry: "Yeah, it's walking!"

Xie Mingxu was amused by her innocence: "Of course, it will run faster, but if you are a beginner, you should sit on the horse and look at the scenery."

He seemed to have his hands open, but in fact he was always following the horse, ready to protect Shen Ningning at any time.

The little one gradually adapted and no longer had to pull the reins with her little hands. She felt the oncoming autumn wind and let out a sweet laugh.

"It feels a bit like me sitting on the back of a wolf. But, Brother Xie, why do you want to take me riding a horse?"

Xie Mingxu said calmly: "Delay for a while, otherwise if we go back too soon, the officers and soldiers I brought will become suspicious."

The officers and soldiers were not his people. Since they came with a purpose, they naturally had to show off.

Shen Ningning was stunned when she heard the words, and looked at Xie Mingxu with her dark and moist eyes.

"Brother Xie, aren't you afraid that I really hid Brother Chen?"

"I believe you won't lie. She probably had some issues with the village woman who reported it to me just now, so she said that on purpose."

After Xie Mingxu finished speaking, he added: "Besides, if you really hide a fugitive, I hope you will tell me the truth."

"Because this Chen Ye may have committed the crime of desertion from the army, which is not a trivial matter."

His eyes were as clear as snow, and Shen Ningning lowered her head in shame.

Should I tell brother Xie? But, wouldn’t that mean I’m sorry to Brother Chen?

Seeing the little guy's embarrassment, Xie Mingxu said calmly: "I think you call him the prince and he is also your brother?"

Shen Ningning came back to her senses: "Yes, grandma said to be polite, those who are older than me should be called brother, and those who are older than brother should be called uncle!"

Xie Mingxu smiled: "But you also call me brother, I'm afraid it will conflict with the title of prince."

Shen Ningning tilted her head in confusion.

can you?

She distinguished them all. Mo Lingwei only had the word "brother", and she called the others by their surnames.

The next second, I heard Xie Mingxu say: "From now on, you can call me Brother. This way, you can distinguish me from the title of Prince."

Shen Ningning's voice was soft and soft: "Brother?"

Xie Mingxu nodded, and Shen Jun's face was a little gentle: "I have a sister who is about the same age as you. When I see you, I think of her."

But, she lost it.

After hearing this, Shen Ningning immediately agreed: "Okay! From now on, I will call you brother."

The two got along for a long time, and under Xie Mingxu's guidance and protection, the little guy finally dared to drive the horse to trot.

It was not until half an hour later that Xie Mingxu took his horse down the mountain alone.

Wang Qiaoer saw his figure and quickly got out of the carriage.

She couldn't hide her gloating eyes, stretched her neck and looked behind Xie Mingxu.

"Where is Shen Ningning? Master Jun, did you see Chen Ye at her house?"

Xie Mingxu's expression was cold and hard, with an aura of murderous intent that would dissuade others from thousands of miles away.

He glanced at Wang Qiaoer and said in a cold and stern tone: "Not only did you not see Chen Ye, you also saw a pack of wolves and almost got injured. What are you thinking about?"

Wang Qiaoer was shocked: "Ah? Shen Ningning does have a pack of wolves, but as long as she doesn't give the order, the wolves will not attack people!"

"Am I going to lie to you?" Xie Mingxu reprimanded heavily: "I think you are just framed at will based on your own selfish desires. Do you know that this is our official business, and you dare to take advantage of us."

"To put it seriously, this is delaying the military flight. It would not be an exaggeration to put you in jail and give you fifty beatings."

He spoke harshly and looked cold, which made Wang Qiaoer's face turn pale with fright.

She quickly knelt down and kowtowed, crying and saying: "Master, forgive me, I... I didn't know that Chen Ye was really not here. I just wanted to help find Chen Ye. I don't dare to do it anymore. I was wrong."

Xie Mingxu ignored the crying Wang Qiaoer and warned with a cold face: "Next time, I won't be lenient."

After that, he led his troops away from her.

When Deng Fugui saw him leave, he rushed over and helped Wang Qiaoer up.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's go, Xiangyun Village is a shabby place that jinxes me, I won't come again!" He wanted to see Shen Ningning's joke, but he almost got himself into trouble.

The weather was getting cooler day by day, and the golden autumn that the people were looking forward to finally came.

On this day, Mo Lingwei came to Langshan to pick up Shen Ningning, to take her to the palace and make some suitable clothes for her.

Shen Ningning's princess enthronement ceremony was at the end of the month, and there was only half a month left.

The little guy got on the carriage with a basket of fruits with water droplets on it.

Mo Lingwei looked at it and chuckled: "You have a lot of fruits, no wonder you want to open a tea stall. By the way, your stall was destroyed by Wei Yufu before. Do you want me to send someone to build another one for you?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "No hurry, the National Academy will have an exam soon, I have to prepare wholeheartedly, not to mention that my brother Wu'er has not recovered from his injury yet."

The tea stall will definitely be rebuilt, but the refugees have not fully recovered from the injuries they suffered from the Wei family's servants last time.

So, Shen Ningning is not in a hurry.

After the two entered the palace, Mo Lingwei took her for a walk on the palace road.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and a wisp of refreshing fragrance blew towards them, accompanied by the sound of bells ringing gently, and I felt a moment of emptiness and silence.

Shen Ningning looked forward and saw four palace maids clearing the way with dignified postures.

Behind them, the eunuchs carried a hollow sedan chair with gauze hanging down, and were slowly walking towards them.

And the sound of the bells came from the four corners of the sedan chair.

Mo Lingwei held her hand and said, "That's Concubine Rong. She likes to be quiet and doesn't fight or compete."

Shen Ningning nodded her head in understanding.

The sedan stopped in front of them.

A beautiful woman with a gentle and elegant temperament got off the sedan.

She saluted Mo Lingwei first: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, how are you?"

Then, Concubine Rong looked at Shen Ningning and smiled softly: "This is Princess Funing, right?"

Did you notice that the likes on Qyue turned into hearts!
