Chapter 40 The heroine who wears books(1/3)
"Wait..."
Before Nangong Tou could say anything to stop him, Ruan Qingliu grabbed Nangong Tou's wrist and walked out. Nangong Tou was not as strong as Ruan Qingliu, so he was dragged forward and stumbled forward.
"Ruan Qing! Let me go!"
Nangong was out of breath, but he didn't dare to shout loudly for fear that his shouting would call the servants of the Princess Mansion and cause unnecessary trouble, so he could only say to Ruan Qingliu in a low voice:
"Do you know what you are doing now?!"
"I'm fulfilling your wish!"
Ruan Qingliu made an innocent expression, but did not stop walking while pulling Nangong Tou.
"Stop!"
Nangong Tong shook Ruan Qingliu's arm angrily. As he waved, he felt his feet slip and then fall backwards.
Just when his whole body was about to fall, Ruan Qingliu stretched out his hand and grabbed Nangong Tou. The strength was so strong that Nangong Tou suddenly threw himself into Ruan Qingliu's arms.
The two people looked at each other so close that they almost kissed each other.
Nangong Tou looked at Ruan Qingliu in front of him, and for some reason he felt his heart pounding and his whole body felt bad.
"Miss, it turns out you are here!"
At this time, Ruan Qingliu's maid Xiaoran came over. She was not surprised to see her young lady hugging and tugging with an unknown man. She walked forward without any discomfort at all:
"Miss, the Duke of Wei's family has not yet woken up after being rescued. Now everyone has gone to see her."
"Where's the princess?"
"The princess has gone back to her room to rest. You know the princess doesn't want to see the Wei family..."
Xiao Ran whispered, and Nangong Tou listened beside Ruan Qingliu and gradually forgot about the struggle.
"Take us to the princess's place now."
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, although she wanted to tell her lady that the princess might be resting, but she knew her lady's temper, and she must do what she was sure of.
So he held a lantern to lead the way, and Ruan Qingliu and Nangong Tou followed behind.
Nangong Tou didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until the three of them started walking that Nangong Tou asked:
"You have a good relationship with your eldest sister?"
Ruan Qingliu shook his head.
Nangong Tou was also silent for a moment. He knew that his eldest sister had never liked playboys, and his relationship with Ruan Qingliu was naturally not very good. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to see each other after going this time.
At this time, Ruan Qingliu still confidently took himself to the eldest sister's door to ask for an audience...
Nangong Tou didn't know what was wrong with him. If it had been in the past, he would have seriously rejected Ruan Qingliu's request and stayed as far away from her as a playboy.
It's just that Xu hasn't walked around as a prince for too long since he left the capital, and even he feels that he has changed a lot.
No matter Ruan Qingliu pulled her to the door of the dormitory where the eldest sister rested, as expected, there were two guards guarding the door. When they saw the person coming, they stopped the person with their long sword horizontally:
"The princess has rested now and will not see guests!"
At this time, Ruan Qingliu let go of Nangong Tou, and after taking a few steps forward, he seemed to have known the two guards for a long time, and said warmly:
"Two eldest sisters, I came to see the princess late at night for something important. Please tell me, I'd like to thank you very much!"
"No, leave quickly!"
Ruan Qingliu saw that he didn't care what he said, so he turned around and took two steps.
Nangong Tou watched Ruan Qingliu return in failure, but he actually felt funny in his heart.
Only he and the eldest sister know that there is a secret passage into the eldest sister's room, which is the secret base for the two of them to enter and exit.
Nangong Tou followed Ruan Qingliu just to see what this dude was capable of. Seeing that he was rejected now, he must be a loser.
He will soon follow the secret passage into the eldest sister's room. He must not be easy to get along with Ruan Qingliu.
But what Nangong Tou didn't expect was that Ruan Qingliu just took two steps back and suddenly came to his senses. Before the two guards could react, he suddenly hit the door with his body.
He bumped into one side and shouted loudly:
"Princess!!! I'm asking you to see Ruan Qingliu!!! I have something important!!!"
When had the two guards ever seen someone so bold as to blatantly bump into the princess's door? They were stunned for a moment and then rushed forward to catch Ruan Qingliu.
But Ruan Qingliu had quick eyes and quick hands. When she saw two guards rushing towards her, she ducked out of the way and ran in circles in the yard while shouting——
"Princess!! This subordinate really has something important to do!! Princess!!!"
Not only Nangong Tou, but even Xiao Ran was stunned. He wanted to step forward to stop his lady from going crazy but didn't know how to find an entry point.
Finally, after Ruan Qingliu and the two guards ran around the yard several times, the door was successfully opened.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with a serious face. Nangong Tou recognized at a glance that this person was none other than the grandmother of her eldest sister Nangong Rong!
"How unbecoming is it to make noise in the princess's resting place at night!"
When the two guards saw the nanny coming out, they knelt down with a snap. Ruan Qingliu was left alone and ran forward for a short distance. After realizing that no one was chasing her, she stopped and gasped:
"Mommy, I have something urgent to do with the princess, and... please forgive me..."
The nanny looked at Ruan Qingliu, and the disdain in her eyes was obviously about to overflow:
"I wonder what Miss Ruan's intention is to disturb the princess's sleep late at night? This princess's mansion is not a fireworks alley, where you can come and leave as you please!"
Although the nanny's status was not as high as Ruan Qingliu's, she was obviously a good steward of the household and spoke with dignity. Ruan Qingliu swallowed a gulp of saliva and said:
"I'm just in a hurry. If you don't believe me, just look at it!"
Then Ruan Qingliu pulled Nangong Tou over, stretched out his hand and pulled off his veil.
The nanny was initially dismissive. When she saw Ruan Qingliu breaking into the princess's bedroom late at night and bringing a man with him, she thought it was this ignorant and lustful person who had fallen in love with the maid in the mansion.
But I didn't expect that what was revealed under the veil was a very familiar face.

"You...you are..."
The pressure that the nanny had just now was gone, and she looked at Nangong Tou with a trembling voice.
"Can I trouble you, Nanny Sun, to go and inform the princess?"
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing Nangong Tou speak, Grandma Sun became even more convinced, stumbled into the house, and soon walked out and invited Nangong Tou to enter.
Ruan Qingliu, who just wanted to be with Nangong Tou, was stopped.
"Why aren't you letting me in?"
"Princess, I just want to see this person right now. Please come with me to the side hall for a while."
At this time, Grandma Sun's words were more steady and less arrogant. She ordered a maid to lead Ruan Qingliu and Xiao Ran to the side hall.
He took Nangong Tou into the princess's bedroom.
At this time, the princess's bedroom was already much brighter than before. Several brand-new oil lamps were lit, making the bedroom shine brightly.
After passing through the curtains, I finally saw Nangong Rong lying on the bed with her hair disheveled.
Perhaps she was ready to rest, but Nangong Rong only wore two thin pieces of clothing and was doing so slantedly.
"Princess, people have arrived."
Grandma Sun bowed politely and then withdrew with a wink.
Only Nangong Tou was left standing there.
At this time, Nangong Rong, who was reclining, walked out of bed slowly, stretched out her hand to lift the gauze curtain beside the bed, and looked up to see Nangong Tou.
Nangong Tou also saw his eldest sister at this time. She still looked the same, with a small face as big as a palm. Her facial features were 70% similar to Nangong Tou's, but she looked more beautiful because of her face.
The most outstanding thing is Nangong Rong's temperament. Her eyes are dark but very lively. It seems that you can catch what she is thinking when you look at her eyes.
Even now, when he has just woken up and is laziest, he still carries an aura that is unapproachable by those in power.
The two people Nangong Tou was most afraid of since he was a child - his mother and eldest sister. Although the eldest sister was strict, she treated him very well. The two of them had countless little secrets. Not only did they bring him up from a young age, they also made blood thicker than water.
feelings.
"Sister..."
Nangong Tou almost shed tears when he saw the familiar eldest sister. Normally, he could only address his eldest sister as eldest princess outside, but in private he always called her eldest sister.
"Xiao Tou, it's really you!"
Nangong Rong frowned, and took a few steps forward to Nangong Tou, reaching out her hand and gently touching his cheek.
There was a rare hint of emotion in those black eyes.
Nangong Tou nodded and continued:
"I entered from the Dijiao Alley on the west side of the house."
Nangong Rong understood what he meant. It was a place that only the two of them knew about, and no third person would know.
