Looking at Ella who was crying, Lu Anru felt guilty for his meddling for the first time. He put his arms around the red-haired girl's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her undulating back.
He pursed his lips and softly expressed his discomfort: "I'm sorry."
Ella shook her head hard and shed tears on both sides of her cheeks. She hurriedly said: "Anru, don't apologize. I know you are good for me. Let's talk about something happy. I love eating this barbecue restaurant because this restaurant Barbecue, it tastes like what my dad used to cook when I was a kid.”
哐哐哐—
The iron plate fell to the ground several times, interrupting the heart-to-heart talk between the two best friends.
The back door of the barbecue stall opened from the inside, and Uncle Jiang was holding the plate he just picked up.
He stuck his head out and greeted with a smile: "I'll keep you waiting. There is a table of guests who have just finished their meal. Come in."
"Okay!" Ella agreed loudly, smiling through her tears.
Sheng Mina took Gao Ying and Lianhua and arrived at the same time as if they were stuck in time.
The wine glass was filled, and Ella raised it and led the cheers: "Happy New Year, I hope we can have a smooth and happy new year."
The host shouted, and Sheng Mina actively clinked glasses and made a wish to suit the atmosphere: "I hope I will get straight A's in the new year."
After making the wish on the scene, I silently made a true wish deep in my heart: I hope His Highness Uzumaki will pay more attention to me.
Gao Ying and Lu Anru used the characteristics of the fighting club to clink glasses, one raised his head to drink up, and the other took a small sip.
Lianhua held the cup with both hands, touched it to everyone present, and expressed her most sincere wish: "I hope that in the future, if you can't complain about Rosa, you will also let me go. It's too noisy here, I just calm down at night." Following some of the spiritual threads, the noise became chaotic again.”
The girls responded without hesitation: "I know, I'll keep calling you next time."
"I have to call you."
"You should move around. Sitting in the dormitory all the time may lead to autism."
"You are so, so mean!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amid the laughter, the New Year’s Eve stay-up event officially started.
Xia Kingdom Palace, Green Bamboo Pavilion Old Ancestral Hall.
Xiao Aya carefully moved her numb legs and gently patted her calves with her hands. It is said that lack of blood circulation can easily bury the patient.
It can range from varicose veins to edema and weight gain.
The order of priority between the two was correct. In her mind, becoming ugly and fat was far more terrifying than getting sick. In the new era, even if you lose an arm or a leg, as long as you can afford quick treatment, you can recover within two hours, let alone varicose veins.
After two pats, the numbness worsened and there was a faint tingling, so I had to stop the massage which was of no avail.
She quietly glanced at Ning Guang, who was kneeling directly under the spiritual tablet. She felt an indescribable pain.
If the old nanny arranged by her mother had not insisted strongly that she must come to accompany her, she would definitely choose to stay in the room and sleep.
Her concern for Ning Guang is growing day by day, but she feels that the two of them are together day and night, and they have more opportunities to show off. One day they can conquer Ning Guang, so why choose such a tiring, painful and scary thing.
Speaking of which, she had to 'thank' Lu Anru for kicking her out of the junior high school entrance examination, so that her parents could seize a golden opportunity. He cried out to Emperor Xuantian about the injustice and won her to live in the Xia Kingdom's palace. Ning Guang personally gave her tutoring lessons.
Thinking about it, I straightened my body and knelt down. Maybe the old grandma was right.
"When people's hearts are fragile, they will especially remember those who have given them warmth. Princess, you must seize the opportunity!"
After completing her self-thinking work, she felt a little better and tried not to glance at Li Mo, who was kneeling in the same row as her.
She really wanted to kneel next to Ning Guang, at least worthy of her status.
Unfortunately, as soon as the old nanny put down the futon, Ning Guang refused: "Take Princess Xiqing back, it's cold at night."
The words sounded heart-warming on the surface, but there was no trace of warmth on that noble face, and there was even a look of displeasure at being disturbed.
With sincerity but rejection of the harvest, Xiao Aya instantly let the discomfort invade all her thoughts.
Heartache and grievance converged into a hypothesis that made her even more heartbroken.
If Lu An were here, Ning Guang would surely happily accept the companionship of an equal, and return to the house to rest after finishing his filial piety. At that time, he was really afraid that the people around him would freeze.
Turning around to leave, the old nanny grabbed her and reminded her through lip language: A small thing can't bear to mess with a big plan.
Xiao Aya suppressed her grievance and knelt in the same row as Li Mo. She understands that it is incompetent for her to be angry with someone who is not present, but she cannot achieve inner peace and ignore the other person.
Ning Guang stopped turning on the air conditioner. On an extremely cold night, one's sleepiness can easily make resentment dissipate.
Lu Anru's crimes from childhood to adulthood were recounted in his mind, and time flew by very quickly.
About three o'clock in the middle of the night, a burst of female laughter floated from far to near.
"Your Majesty, you are drunk. I will accompany you back to the palace. Hehehe, your hands are so good."
The corrupt content was particularly disrespectful. The woman who made the sound could not have known that Prince Uzumaki was keeping vigil here, but she still dared to disturb him so brazenly.
The guard at the door did not stop him, so it is not difficult to guess why he let him go. Emperor Xuan Tian has arrived!
Xiao Aya silently observed Ning Guang's face. Even though she could only see the side, the biting coldness had already broken through the tranquil expression, and Ning Guang was very angry!
Xiao Aya weighed the pros and cons in her mind. She rushed out and drove the woman away. It was hard to say whether Ning Guang would remember her, but she would definitely offend Emperor Xuan Tian.
The drunken emperor... the horror is unimaginable.
While thinking, Li Mo had already stood up and left the ancestral hall.
"His Royal Highness is keeping vigil, please,"
Before he finished speaking, the burly body was kicked into the ancestral hall.
Emperor Xuan Tian hugged the beauty in his arms, and five black figures rushed out from behind him. Two shining knives were placed on Li Mo's neck, who was trying to stand firm.
One of them stomped hard at the weakest joint of Li Mo's knee, and Li Mo fell to his knees.
"Stop!" Ning Guang stopped reciting the scriptures silently, opened his eyes, and walked to Li Mo.
Emperor Xuantian's shadow guard hesitated slightly and maintained his original posture.
Ning Guang reached out and pushed the knife close to Li Mo's neck. The shadow guard was always afraid of hurting His Highness, so he moved the knife back a little.
At the same time, gunshots rang out, and the fearful Shadow Guard fell to the ground, with black and red blood spreading to everyone's feet.
Zhuo Zi, the chief eunuch, bowed and stood behind Emperor Xuan Tian, covering the murder weapon with both hands, and said in a high-pitched drake voice: "How bold, how dare you disobey His Majesty."
Xiao Aya lowered her head, biting her lip in fear to prevent her teeth from chattering, fearing that the slightest sound would attract the attention of Emperor Xuantian.
"Father, today is the death anniversary of my mother. I have no other wish but that the deceased be pure."
Ning Guang bowed down and bowed deeply, his voice hoarse.
"Huh, oh? Guang'er is blaming his father for disturbing the purity of the deceased?"
Emperor Xuantian laughed sinisterly, stretched out his hand to pinch the buttocks of the woman in his arms, bit her ear, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you always say you like the queen's palace? Today I will give you a chance. Come, give it to the queen yourself. Let’s talk and see if she agrees to give up her bedroom to you.”
