Summer, flowers are in full bloom 。"Your Highness, please be careful and don't run so fast, old servant can't keep up." 。"The old eunuch, Ning Nu, urged and tugged at the hem of a young woman in red, but she was too quick. He called out to the nearby attendants, "Quickly, quickly, stop the princess!" 。Yun Wanwan stuck her tongue out at Ningnu and ran faster, but because she was short, she accidentally stepped on a vase, rolling into the lotus pond. Ningnu was terrified, but luckily the guards nearby were used to it and quickly and skillfully fished her out. She had only taken two sips of pond water and was unharmed. However, her originally clean face, hair, and clothes were all covered in thick mud, making her look like a completely different person. 。"Oh, my darling..." 。"The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt down and took a handkerchief to carefully wipe the seven-year-old's face, "Old servant was terrified! Why are you even more daring than your seventeenth older brother?" 。"Ningnu, give 。"Yun Wanwan, when she fell into the water, accidentally caught a lotus pod and smilingly handed it to the elderly Ningnu, saying in a cheerful tone, “Make lotus seed soup to eat” 。"Your Highness is so obedient" 。"Ning Nu took the handkerchief and received the lotus lantern. Turning her hand, she passed it to the attendant beside her. With her small hands clasped together, she skipped back into the hall." 。The attendants hurriedly continued to wash away the mud from Yun Wanwan with warm water. After washing it clean, they carried her into the bathtub and soaked her in hot water with petals. 。Not until the child was warmed by the bath did they change him into clean clothes and take him out of the side hall. 。Ningnu had already prepared the osmanthus lotus seed soup and was waiting. When Yun Wanwan saw Ningnu, she ran over with outstretched arms, "Hug..." 。"Good " 。"Ningnu used her withered, tree-like hands to gently stroke Yun Wanwan's pretty little face. Ningnu had served in the palace since she was young, attending to the old king. On the third day after the old king's death, when the new king ascended the throne, Yun Wanwan was born. The Shang King had given birth to seventeen sons before having this one princess, making her appear particularly precious and rare. However, the newborn princess cried incessantly, leaving everyone helpless. Later, when Ningnu held her, she immediately stopped crying and broke into a smile. Therefore, Ningnu, who was originally destined to be buried with the old king, was spared from death and had the good fortune of serving the newborn princess." 。The princess was born on the day of the full moon, and thus was named Princess Full Moon. 。Ningnu served Yunwanwan a small bowl of osmanthus and lotus seed soup. Yunwanwan had a sweet tooth, but she didn't like it too sweet. Ningnu knew her taste and stood by as the cook adjusted the flavor. 。"Níngnu, eat..." 。Yun Wanwan pushed the osmanthus lotus seed soup forward to Ningnu. 。Ningnu couldn't help but shed tears at that moment. During his time serving the old king, he lived in constant fear, carefully planning every step and action. A single mistake would result in severe punishment; he had endured countless beatings and scolding from a young age. Deep within the palace, only the little princess treated him as kin, never once reprimanding him. Even when others tried to criticize him, the little princess would defend him, protecting him from any further harm. 。"Your Highness is truly >>>。"Níngnǔ wiped away a tear and ladled a small bowl of osmanthus lotus seed soup for Yún Wǎn Wàn. Then, she said softly, “Your Highness, this old servant fears that she will no longer be able to serve the Princess.” 。"No, where are you going?" Yun Wanwan directly leaned into Ningnu's arms, coquettishly saying, "Ningnu must stay by this Palace..." 。"To be able to serve the princess is Ningnu's greatest fortune. The days of serving the princess are the best days of Ningnu's life. The princess will always be the treasure in Ningnu's heart, but Ningnu is getting old and may not be able to serve the princess anymore." 。"Nü nu tenderly stroked Yun Wan Wan's back, and said, "Princess, Nü nu has something to ask of you..." 。"Yun Wanwan looked up at him, listening intently to his words, etching them into her heart like a blade. 。After several days, Ningnu left forever. 。A heartbroken person shedding tears, this is the second time they have met and parted in their life. The first time was with their mother. 。Ning Nu's original name was Yi Xiang Ning. She came from a poor family in a small village in the far north, a place of bitter cold and barren land, isolated and distant from the capital city. 。The little cloud, Wanwan, decided to personally bring Ningnu's bones back to his hometown. 。 |
