I saw a white porcelain bowl filled with a purple crab the size of a walnut. The crab shell was dark purple and the crab legs were light purple. The whole crab seemed to be carved from purple jade, which was really cute.

"It's quite good-looking. I'll help my sister-in-law find it together." Princess Ning Ping is also a playful person, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and turned over the stones together.

After some search, Ming Ruo and Princess Ning Ping found nothing.

Mingruo held the bowl and sighed: "I have tried my best. It seems that you are single."

Si Haochen put a purple crab slightly larger than the crab in the bowl into the porcelain bowl: "Give it."

"Hehe." Mingruo smiled and his eyebrows were bent, "My husband is so amazing."

Si Haochen reached out and pulled Mingruo up: "It's time to get down to the shade of the trees, so don't suffer from the heat."

"Okay." Mingruo was pulled by Si Haochen for a few steps before he remembered Princess Ningping, "Yu Ning, come here to rest for a while, it's almost time for lunch."

"Okay." The little man in Princess Ningping's heart burst into tears, and what should I do if I feel that I am redundant.

As soon as the three of them sat down in the shade of the tree, Hong Shizi came over with a few guards: "Brother Nine Emperor, Sister Nine Emperor."

"Well, Tianhong, let's sit down." Si Haochen had a good impression of this cousin.

Hong Shizi sat down and started scolding his sister: "Let you not run around, but you will run more happily... What if you encounter danger?"

"There are so many people on the road today, so there will be no danger..." Princess Ningping turned her face to the side in discontent.

Mingruo smiled and said, "You should just take the carriage obediently. The sun is big in the afternoon, and it will not look good if it is tanned."

"Ah... why did I forget this!" Princess Ningping quickly covered her cheeks and asked the guards to drive her palace car over.

Seeing that this uneasy sister was finally about to ‘abandon the darkness and turn to the light’, Hong Shizi smiled gratefully.

The lunch was soon ready for the purplish and perilla - Yangchun noodles and four exquisite cold dishes.

Mingruo invited Princess Ningping to go to the carriage for meals, and Si Haochen and Hongzi set up a simple table under the shade of the tree.

Princess Ning Ping ate noodle soup in the wild for the first time and found it both novel and delicious: "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, the food you made is so delicious."

"Just like it." Mingruo asked casually, "The people who participated in the spring hunting should have returned to the capital today. Why don't there be a convoy on the road?"

"They are either delicate young ladies or soft old ladies. They can't walk far and stop and rest. They can walk and stop. It's almost time to get into the city before dark."

"That's it." Mingruo nodded.

Princess Ningping lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the Emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to draft an order to marry the Third Prince and Princess Mingyu."

"Ha?" Mingruo was surprised. Didn't Emperor Danxu not want to see the third prince marry the eighth princess? But he soon figured it out again--Danxu must have known that the third prince's leg was incompetent, so he gave them a marriage with confidence.

Mingruo bent his lips and smiled sly. If he cured the third prince's legs, would Emperor Danxu be so angry that he could pass away? Thinking about it, he was a little excited!

"It is said that the third prince's leg cannot be cured. Even if he can barely walk in the future, he will be lame." Princess Ningping's voice lowered, "Do you mean that Princess Jade is willing to marry a cripple?"

"She spent the whole night in the mountains with the third prince. Even if she didn't want to... there was no better choice." Her cheap princess was very arrogant and she looked down on other identities except the prince. Besides, when there was no such incident, no one would pay attention to her except the third prince. If she didn't want to go back to Nanrong in shame, she would basically have to marry if she didn't want to marry.

"Yeah." Princess Ning Ping also felt depressed.

Although she didn't like Princess Mingyu, she felt sad when she encountered such a thing - as a royal family, her lifelong affairs could not be decided by herself, nor could her parents decide. Her life was just a pawn for the person at a high position, and she let her place it where she thought it was appropriate.

"However, my eighth prince often goes out with the third prince. The two should be in love with each other. She will definitely not dislike the third prince who is not good at doing things." Such words against her will, Mingruo felt that she had the potential to be a white lotus.

"Yes." Princess Ningping nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have entered the mountain with him..." Princess Ningping was a free and easy person and became happy soon. "If I had someone I like, even if his legs were not good, I wouldn't dislike him. I guess Princess Mingyu would be the same."

Mingruo likes Princess Ning Ping's personality very much. She is not artificial at all, so she says whatever she has.

After lunch, they did not rush to travel. Mingruo said that they would wait until noon, which was the hottest time. Everyone cooled down under the shade of the trees, and Zicao and Zisu made some noodles for the guards who accompanied them. Princess Ningping and Prince Hong were talking aside.

Mingruo stared at the two little crabs in the bowl: "You should name them both."

Si Haochen pointed to the one that Ming Ruo caught and said, "It's called Ruoer."

"Hmph!" Ming Ruo immediately stopped doing it, "Then this one is called A Chen."

Si Haochen saw the princess' angry expression and found it very interesting: "It is the 'ruo' of Ruozhu."

"It is the 'Chen' of time!" Are you playing the word game? I'm not afraid!

"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, "very good."

Princess Ningping and Prince Hong looked surprised: This is probably a fake Ninth Emperor brother.

A group of secret guards: The master and the princess are showing off their food again, burp, it's so delicious!

The carriage was about to set off, and Princess Ningping's palace carriage also arrived.

Princess Ningping felt that it was boring to ride a carriage alone, but when she saw the cold face of the Ninth Emperor brother, she didn't dare to blatantly "rob" the Ninth Emperor sister-in-law, and her eyes turned around.

Mingruo thought the girl was very interesting: "Yu Ning, it's time to get on the bus."

Princess Ning Ping grabbed Mingruo's sleeve, closed her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, please take the palace car with me."

"OK."

Princess Ning Ping opened her eyes: "Really?"

"You might be polite and pretend to invite me, right?" Mingruo asked with a smile.

"Of course not, I'm sincere." Princess Ningping took Mingruo's arm and got into the palace car.

Along the way, Princess Ningping never stopped talking, from where there are fun around the capital, to which shop in the capital is delicious, and to which silver house jewelry is good...

"Then another day, the ninth emperor sister-in-law went to Jian Mingxuan for afternoon tea. Not only is the snack delicious, but the story of the storyteller is also very exciting. I have been telling the story of a monkey going to obtain scriptures these days, which is so interesting!"
