Chapter 129: Bitter wine

"Where do you want to go today?" Ning Chunan sat in front of the dressing

table, letting the maid wear her hair bun, but her eyes stayed on Luo Qing in

the mirror.

"This is not a question that your subordinates should consider." Luo gently

replied calmly, "Your Highness can go wherever you want. Your subordinates are

just inside guards of magic spells and have no right to interfere with your

thoughts."

This person is the child born to Luo Yufei and the fourth heir of the current

emperor. He just turned sixteen this year. It was supposed to be the age to be

sent to the military for experience, but because he had a high fever when he

was a child, his physique was far inferior to a few brothers and sisters, so

the experience has been delayed.

A large part of Ning Chunan's appearance was inherited from his mother, with

eyebrows like crescent moon and bags under his eyes like cicadas, and due to

his physical weakness, he looked a bit younger than his actual age.

But Luo Qing would never treat him as a child.

In any case, he was also the fourth prince who was born in the palace and has

the blood of the emperor.

"To listen to the opera or to enjoy the flowers?" Ning Chunan seemed to have

not heard her answer, "By the way, you are an alchemist, and your preferences

may not be the same as those of ordinary women...or let's go to a bar."

"The guards are not allowed to drink."

"It doesn't matter if you have a drink occasionally."

"His Royal Highness--" When Luo Qing was about to refuse, Ning Chunan suddenly

let out a painful cry.

"Ah... it hurts me!" He stood up abruptly and threw the maid to the ground

with one hand. "What the ** did you stupid maid do?"

The latter's face turned pale in fright. She was holding the hairpin, looking

at a loss, "Your Royal Highness, the maidservant doesn't know..."

"I don't know? You got my head!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The maid knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive

me!"

"Get up." Ning Chunan said coldly, "I have to pierce you too."

He picked up another hairpin on the stage and turned it around in his hand,

"But my head is different from yours, so... I will use your eyes instead."

The maid shivered suddenly, she trembled and tried to hide, but her body froze

uncontrollably.

"His Royal Highness." Luo Qing had no choice but to speak, "Why do you have

to."

"Why, she did something wrong, can't I punish her?" Ning Chunan frowned.

"But punishment should be moderate."

"If it hurts the royal family, it will only be more severe according to the

law." He reluctantly pointed the hairpin at the maid. "I'm just acting within

the rules. You are a guard. You should not have the right to interfere with my

thoughts?"

The latter probably realized that Luo Qing was the only possibility for her to

be rescued, and turned around and pleaded loudly to her, "My lord, please

forgive me!"

"His Royal Highness." Luo repeated gently with an accent, "Let's go to the

play."

Ning Chunan's hand stopped, "Listen to the show first, then drink, the day is

just right, what do you think?"

"...You can go anywhere you want."

"But you want a drink."

"The guard can't—"

She was interrupted by the fourth prince in the middle of speaking, "According

to the rules, this maid must also accept punishment."

Luo was silent for a long time before slowly nodding, "Just a cup."

"In fact, after waiting for you and me for a long time, you will naturally

understand the joy of drinking." Ning Chunan pulled the maid up easily, and

then wiped her face, "You don't think I really want to pierce your eyes,

right? , Pay attention next time, go on."

"Your Highness Xie forgive me, Your Highness Xie forgive me!" The maid bowed

again and again, and walked back out of the room quickly.

"So, when I ask you questions in the future, don't use the excuse that you

have no right to interfere." Ning Chunan inserted the hairpin into his hair

casually, "I know, feel like you. People who look down on ordinary people in

my heart do not look down on ordinary people? You have special powers, all of

you are strong and healthy, and you can hardly get sick. You can even say that

you are another kind of person."

"You are not an ordinary person, and your subordinates have never thought so—"

"Identity is just something outside of the body, I can feel his contempt from

the bottom of my heart in front of the second brother." Ning Chunan stared at

the humanity in the mirror, "If you are not like this, why do you refuse to

give me something? "

"...The subordinate thinks that the two are not the same thing."

"Okay, I'm not such a caregiver. But I hope you can understand that I can

distinguish between perfunctory and foolishness. When I treat you sincerely, I

hope you can truly respond to me-no matter what the response is. "Ning Chunan

showed a feminine smile, "After all, apart from the mother in this palace, I

have few people who can speak."

After that he turned to the door, "Shall we go then?"

Luo Qing suddenly felt an emotion rushing to her heart. She couldn't tell what

it was, but felt a little at a loss.

Is this the responsibility of the inner guard of the magic spell?

Most importantly, she didn't even know who was wrong.

The four princes are the heirs of the sage, so they can naturally punish the

maids according to their preferences. This is the power given to him by the

rules of the palace.

Is she doing something wrong when she stops speaking out?

This problem is far more difficult than thinking about alchemy.

But she is an alchemist in the Privy Council, and she should put her duty

first at all times. As long as she endures for two more years, when she is

promoted to the trial front, she can do what she wants to do-Luo gently

suppressed the distracting thoughts and discomfort in her heart, and followed

the four princes out of the courtyard.

...

Watching operas and listening to music are both entertainment activities that

Ning Chunan likes. He not only listens to it alone, but also brings together a

group of like-minded senior officials.

In the evening, it was the Huazhou Cocktail Party, and sometimes people would

be found to chant poems to make the right, and then the piano girl would play

and sing on the spot.

As far as hobbies are concerned, these people are not out of the ordinary.

What they do the most is to spend a lot of money to make themselves the focus

of the audience.

Just in Luo's light eyes, all of this is just a waste of time and will.

She should have been fighting evil, not standing here as a decoration.

After all, the glass of wine was not avoided.

Drinking itself is not a problem. She also appreciates the deeds of those

unrestrained poets who drink and compose poems in the history books, but she

does not want to drink a glass of wine that she has to drink amidst all the

eyes and the noise.

The wines offered on Huazhou are all top-quality wines ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The

prices are high, but Luo Qing did not taste a bit of taste, only felt that it

was bitter.

The fourth prince also wanted to take the opportunity to hand over the second

cup.

In the end, she used cold eyes to make the other party dispel the idea.

After the group of people became noisy, Luo gently walked out of the room and

guarded the side of the ship's aisle.

She would rather have a cold evening breeze than return to the house.

At this time, it was the busiest moment on the canal. There were a dozen or so

brightly-lit flower boats. Various boats carrying guests shuttled between the

big boats, all of which showed the prosperity of Shangyuan City.

Suddenly, Luo Qing saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

The other party flashed past and quickly disappeared under the lights.

Because she was wearing a black hat, she didn't see the other person's face,

but from the back, the man actually looked like his big brother.
