The Empress Dowager

Chapter 173

"You look at me like this, how can I read well?" Murong Yu put down the book in his hand, looked at Nangong Yue, the corners of his mouth curled into a nice curve, his black jade-like eyes were as clear as water.

"Who looked at you?" Nangong Yue Baiyu's face had a suspicious blush, she was really ashamed!
Murong Yu smiled silently, took out a golden key from his sleeve and handed it to Nangong Yue, and said, "This is the key to the library, you have to keep it safe."

Nangong Yue took the key and looked at it, the key to the library?Could it be the key to the Dust Martingale Pavilion?No, she rarely comes to this Dust Martingale Pavilion, and this Dust Martingale Pavilion is guarded by special people, so there is no need for a key at all. Could it be that this key is the key to another door?It should be very important, she has to keep this key away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, the students were on vacation, and Nangong Yue could no longer live in Ziyun Academy. Murong Yu suggested that Nangong Yue go to King Jing's Mansion with him, but Nangong Yue returned to Zhenguo Hou Mansion without agreeing.

Back at Zhenguohou's Mansion, Jiang was busy shopping and didn't have time to pay attention to her. Nangong Yue was a little surprised, but that's good, at least her ears can finally be quiet for a while.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, in Zhenguohou's Mansion, Nangongjian, Jiang Shi, and Nangonglin were watching the New Year's Eve in Huancui Courtyard. Nangonglin was accompanied by Aunt Li. Nangonglu's mother died early. Yuyuan looked at Nangong Lu. Nangong Lu was wearing an apricot-yellow winter coat, and was warming up by the brazier. She was very happy to see Nangong Yue.

"Second sister, why are you here?" Nangong Lu asked.

"Let me see what's interesting here?" Nangong Yue said, walking to the brazier to warm up the fire.

"What fun can there be here? I'm afraid I will disappoint my sister."

"Really? It's so late, why doesn't my sister go to bed?"

"Today is New Year's Eve, and I still have to keep watch!" Nangong Lu said with a small mouth.

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and touched Nangong Lu's forehead, "Children don't have to watch the year. If Lu'er is sleepy, you can go to bed."

"Lu'er is not sleepy."

Nangong Yue smiled, she didn't expect Nangong Lu to be so stubborn.

"Since Lu'er is not sleepy, how about my sister telling Lu'er a story?"

Nangong Lu suddenly became interested: "Sister can tell stories? Lu'er likes listening to stories the most."

"That's natural, my sister will tell you a story about "Little Red Riding Hood." Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Lu's expectant face, her eyes flickered, she was still a child after all.

"Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful little girl. Her grandmother loved her very much..."

Nangong Lu listened carefully, and like all children, she would ask questions when she encountered something she didn't understand: "Sister, what is velvet?"

"Sister, what's cake and wine?"

"Sister, the big bad wolf is good or bad!"

……

When Nangong Lu heard that Little Red Riding Hood was eaten by the big bad wolf, tears welled up in her eyes. Later, when she heard that Little Red Riding Hood and grandma were rescued by the hunter, she turned into a smile, and finally heard that the big bad wolf fell to death. , said "It deserves it!"

Nangong Yue smiled and patted Nangong Lu's head: "Lu'er, after hearing the story of "Little Red Riding Hood", what do you think?"

Nangong Lu thought for a while, then said childishly: "Sister, Lu'er knows, this story tells us that we should not trust strangers easily."

"Lu'er is awesome! But Lu'er should also remember that sometimes, the words of acquaintances may not be true, so Lu'er must learn to distinguish between good and evil."

"Got it! Sister, Lu'er still wants to hear the story." It was obvious that Nangong Lu was very happy, and Nangong Yue felt inexplicably sad.

"Okay, my sister will tell me another story about "The Frog Prince"..."
