Nightfall

The little boy with a tiger's head and head looked out from the side of Princess Li Yu, took a curious look, sucked his nose, learned the appearance of Sang Sang, buried his head in her arms, and rubbed his small face in disorder The snot on her face rubbed onto her clothes.

Li Yu took out the handkerchief and wiped the little boy awkwardly, without a trace of disgust on his face, then turned his head to Xiang Ningque and said indifferently, "Go to Chang'an and follow me, I will give you a good future."

Ning Que has long guessed the identity of this barbarian little boy, but did not expect that the princess would love her step-son so much, especially the little action of wiping his nose for him, which caused a slight change in his perception of His Highness. Thinking of these things, the response was slower, and he said slightly: "Dear Princess, I will go to the college entrance examination after arriving in Chang'an."

Humans will hear a lot of different meanings for different interpretations of the same sentence. This sentence sounds like Ning Que is saying that he has no time to serve His Royal Highness, or it can be heard that he politely refused. With a little pride: entering the academy naturally has a future, no need to worry about your highness.

"Are you sure you can really take part in the admission test and successfully pass the admission test?" Li Yu looked at him coldly and said, "Although I am a talented scholar, I am very particular about the word selection. You think a talented person will be able to find a place where talent can be displayed, and why the former Mr. Liu was so confused about Qinglou I. "

Ning Que looked at her delicate eyebrows and said seriously: "I also understand this, so I urge the princess to help me remove those obstacles that should not be there. I only hope that I will not lose the opportunity to enter the college because of my poverty."

Li Yu looked at him with unabashed suspicion, and remained silent for a long time, wondering why the young army soldier so calmly and directly refused his co-op.

To know that she is the most loved by the emperor, the four princesses of the Tang Dynasty who are beloved by her subjects. With Ning's lack of status today, she can be so close to her. It has been a blessing from eight generations of life. Even if she is qualified to participate in the college entrance examination, she can be appreciatively signaled. Who will not be moved to worship?

Quiet for a long time, she said quietly: "I promise you, because this is what I owe you."

After saying this, she lost her interest in talking with Ning Que, holding the little boy staring at the fire in front of her, her eyes gradually getting wet, at this time the old man Lu Qingchen next to the fire was kneeling meditation to recover, the guard on the other side We had fallen asleep, Lin Ye was deep, and occasionally the birds awakened by the stars whistled twice.

Ning Que looked at the crystal clear water in her eyes with surprise and followed her eyes, only to find that she was looking at the body of the bodyguard and the prairie barbarian piled up beside the road by the fire.

Thinking of her wiping her nose for the little boy earlier, seeing her feelings of grief for her subordinates at the moment, Ning Que's impression of the princess's highness changed again, thinking silently that even an idiot is a human idiot. .

Sang Sangfu slept on his knees, and he and Li Yu were the only ones with their eyes open by the fire. The two were sitting quietly like this. Suddenly, the barbarian little boy broke out of her arms and rubbed his eyes to say that he could n’t sleep to listen to the story. Li Yu was embarrassed and thought he had heard it in the palace as a child. Those stories have long been forgotten. How can the novels about geniuses and beauties that I loved to listen to as girls be told to children?

Many little boys are not very troublesome, just looking at their nominal mother unhappy, looking at some pitiful, Ning Que smiled and looked at the embarrassed Princess Her Royal Highness, coughed twice.

"Wheat is golden and oats are green ... the duck eggs are cracked one by one, and the biggest egg is still there ... the mother duck looks at the big and ugly child, watching it swim in the water Jubilantly, proudly said: Look, it's not a nasty spit chicken, it's my own child. "

"But it's too ugly, it will be pointed no matter where you go ... the wild duck said, as long as you don't marry the duck in our family, it doesn't have much to do with us."

"One night, when the beautiful sun went down to the west wilderness, the ugly duckling saw a group of big birds flying out of the woods. The duckling had never seen such a beautiful thing. They were shiny white and their necks were long and soft. Spread beautiful wings and fly to the warm country. "

"After a winter, the ugly duckling was surrounded by a few big swans. It felt ashamed. It felt so ugly. However, the big swan pecked its feathers gently ... It suddenly saw that it was like that in the pool. Beautiful ... Spring is here, the sun is very warm, and lilacs hang the branches into the water in front of it. People watch it dance happily, sing songs, and yell happily: Look at that beautiful swan! "

Ning Que held a Jiao Chai, sketched lines randomly on the ground beside his feet, smiled with his head down and told a very old story, UU reading a book www.uukanshu. The story of com is so simple, but it is also so sad and happy. The barbarian little boy is lying on the princess's body, staring and listening. Li Yu also gradually listened to God, and Sang Sang did not know when he woke up. She had heard it since she was very young, but she still listened quietly, her childhood smile on her face.

The night was even deeper. After listening to the story, the children finally entered a sweet dream. After a long silence, Li Yu suddenly said: "Your story is too deep, and Xiaoman can't understand it, but I still want to thank you, thank you for reminding me. I have these things ... I will treat him like my mother duck as my own child. I will be proud of him. After returning to Chang'an, I will never let him be laughed at and discriminated by other people. Flying into the sky like a swan ... that can only be seen in his own future. "

Ning Que scratched her head and smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't think about it so much. This is the story I told Sang Sang when she was a child. She always felt that she was black and ugly, and she felt inferior. I wrote this story for her. comfort her."

"Anyway, this is a good story." Li Yu looked at him with a smile, said: "Ugly duckling that is looked down upon by others, with his own efforts, eventually turned into a respected and loved white swan, very inspirational."

Ning Que held Jiao Zhi's hand slightly stiff, raised his head and looked at her seriously: "You are wrong, this story will only make many people feel desperate, because the ugly duckling will not become a swan, it ... originally It ’s a swan. Just like your highness and the little prince in your arms, the real ugly duckling is always the ugly duckling. "

Li Yu quietly looked at the teenager's face, thinking about this passage, he vaguely understood something in his heart.
