Xinping was completely dumbfounded.
She cared about her brother, how could she end up like this, she pursed her mouth, and burst into tears immediately.
Both Zhu Chengxuan and Gu Qiqing had no time to laugh, and hurried over.
"Oh, peace of mind, brother is wrong."
"Your Highness, don't cry."
The two teenagers hurried over to hug her and coax her.
As for Nan Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, seeing this scene, she couldn't help laughing until she burst into tears.
She said: "It's really calm, like a meatball, why are you so stupid."
Usually when she said this, Nianqiu and Aunt Tongyun behind her would laugh and agree, but today, there was no movement. She looked back and saw that Nianqiu had already run down to help her heart, while Aunt Tongyun had a solemn expression on her face. His expression didn't look happy at all.
Nan Yan said: "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"..."
"It's a holiday today, why are you so serious?"
"..."
Aunt Tongyun remained silent for a long time, and then slowly stepped forward, filled Nanyan's teacup with some hot water, and then said, "Your Majesty, this servant has remembered a story and wants to tell it to your Majesty."
"..."
Nan Yan was taken aback.
At this time, when everyone was joking, she wanted to tell herself a story with a serious face.
Nan Yan had a faint feeling that it might have something to do with her agreeing to allow Si Muzhen to leave and go out alone just now.
So she smiled lightly: "Auntie wants to say something, say it."
Aunt Tongyun thought for a while, and said: "Once upon a time, there was a man who had a very strong horse at home, and he could usually carry three bundles of grass at a time without any effort. One day he had a whim and wanted to try his own horse. How robust."
"He just put three bundles of grass on the horse's back, which was naturally stable. Then, he added another bundle, and the horse was still stable."
"He added another bundle. This time, the horse was a little tired, but still able to walk."
"He added another bundle, and the horse was having a hard time going."
"When he added another bundle, the horse finally couldn't bear it and was crushed, and the horse's hoof was injured and it could no longer move."
"The man was very angry, and it was useless to scold his horse."
Nan Yan listened quietly, and when she heard this, she raised her head to look at Aunt Tongyun, and said calmly, "What does Auntie want to say?"
Aunt Tongyun said: "My lady, what did you hear from this story?"
"..."
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said with a half-smile: "You just want to tell Ben Gong that either this horse is useless and cannot stand the test; or this person is wrong, so you shouldn't test this horse, right? ?”
"..."
Aunt Tongyun was quiet for a while, then shook her head.
Nan Yan was taken aback.
"Then, what are you going to say?"
Aunt Tongyun said word by word: "Actually, from the beginning of this test, there is only one result - the horse will definitely be crushed."
"..."
"Because no matter how much the horse can take, the people who test it will add things to its back endlessly to see where its limit is."
"..."
"One bundle is added, and there is another bundle."
"..."
"But in the end? What did this man get?"
"..."
"My lady, what you have is what you have, but if you lose it, you really can't get it back."
After finishing speaking, she sighed and stepped aside.
Nan Yan was still sitting there, motionless.
There was no expression on her face either, she just looked at the pair of eyes on the bustling ice surface, which were much darker than before, and her eyes flickered, but no one could tell what she was thinking.
Only the slightly cool fingertips exposed from her cuffs trembled.
