I was completely confused.

She cared about her brother, how could she end up like this? She slapped her mouth and burst into tears.

Zhu Chengxuan and Gu Qiqing had no time to laugh and rushed over.

"Oh, Xinping, my brother was wrong."

"Don't cry, Your Highness, Princess."

The two young men hurried over and picked her up and coaxed her.

Nan Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, was so happy that he laughed in tears when he saw this scene.

She said: "It's really calm, like a meat ball, why are you so stupid?"

Usually when she said this, Nian Qiu and Aunt Tongyun behind her would definitely smile and agree with each other, but today, there was no movement. When she looked back, Nian Qiu had already run down to calm down, while Aunt Tongyun had a solemn expression on her face, and she looked completely unhappy.

Nan Yan said: "What's wrong with Aunt?"

“…”

"Why is it so serious today?"

“…”

Aunt Tongyun was silent for a long time before slowly approaching, replenishing some hot water into Nanyan's tea cup, and then said, "Empress, I remembered a story and wanted to tell it to the empress."

“…”

Nan Yan was stunned.

At this time, it was just when everyone was joking, but she looked solemn and wanted to tell herself a story.

Nan Yan vaguely felt that it was probably related to the fact that he just agreed to Si Muzhen leave and go out for a trip alone.

So he smiled faintly: "What do you want to say, 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. He could usually hold three bundles of weeds at a time without any effort. One day, he had a sudden idea and wanted to try how strong his horse was."

"He put three bundles of weed on the horse's back, and it was naturally stable. Then, he added another bundle, and the horse was still very stable."

"He added another bundle. This time, the horse was a little tired, but he could still leave."

"He added another bundle, and the horse was struggling to walk."

"When he added another bundle, the horse finally couldn't bear it, was crushed, and the horse's hooves were injured and could no longer move."

"This man is very angry and just scolds his horse for being useless."

Nan Yanan listened quietly. When he heard this, he raised his head to look at Aunt Xiang Tongyun and said calmly: "What do you want to say?"

Aunt Tongyun said, "What did the Empress hear from this story?"

“…”

Nan Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "You just want to tell me that either this horse is useless and cannot stand the test; or this person is wrong and shouldn't be tested, right?"

“…”

Aunt Tongyun was quiet for a while and shook her head.

Nan Yan was stunned.

"Then, what are you going to say?"

Aunt Tongyun said word by word: "Actually, from the beginning of this test, there was only one result, the horse would definitely be crushed."

“…”

"Because no matter how much the horse can bear, the people who test it will endlessly add things to its back and see where its limit is."

“…”

"A bundle is added, and there is another bundle."

“…”

"But what in the end? What did this person get?"

“…”

"Empress, what you have is what you have, but if you lose it, you really can't find it."

After saying that, she sighed and stepped aside.

Nanyan was still sitting there, motionless.

There was no expression on her face, but she just looked at the eyes on the lively ice surface, which were much deeper than before, with her eyes flashing, but no one could tell what she was thinking.
