"This sugar gourd is mine." Xiao Tingxuan's face was not good, and he blocked in front of the little girl.

Originally, the little girl was still quiet in the delicious taste of sugar gourd, but she was frightened by the shadow in front of her.

But after all, she is still young, even if she is just a princess, she still has the blood of the royal family, and the people in the house, except for chewing their tongues behind their backs, do not dare to say anything unpleasant to her.

And the little brother in front of her was the first person in the house who dared to yell at her, the young Bai Mengtan originally wanted to cry, but when he saw Xiao Tingxuan's fair and warm appearance.

The little face with tears hanging at the corners of the eyes with a flat mouth, and the pink little mouth is raised.

Sweetly put the uneaten sugar gourd in his hand on Xiao Tingxuan's mouth, and shouted in a soft and glutinous voice, "Big brother eats sugar, it's very sweet." ”

Xiao Tingxuan looked at the little girl in front of him, who didn't understand the world, and his angry mood instantly calmed down.

opened his mouth and bit a sugar gourd that she had eaten, and this mouthful of sugar gourd was very sweet and sour to him.

He had almost forgotten how long it had been since he had been cared for.

When the little girl saw him eat it, she smiled as beautifully as a blooming peony flower.

She also wanted Xiao Tingxuan to eat a few more, but Xiao Tingxuan refused.

He also has to take advantage of the kitchen to finish reading the poems arranged by the master, or tomorrow he will be trained again.

Just when he wanted to turn around and leave, he found that the corner of his clothes was firmly grasped, and he looked back.

The little girl was looking at him with pitiful, apricot eyes.

Said obediently: "Brother plays with Shasha." ”

When she saw Xiao Tingxuan's face, there was no anger, she followed inch by inch, and pointed to the swing under her with her fleshy little finger, clearly wanting Xiao Tingxuan to push the swing for her.

Xiao Xuanxuan wanted to refuse, but this little girl made it clear that she didn't want to let him go, so she simply jumped off the swing, hugged his calves, and didn't let go of her life or death, her pink dress and skirt were stained with withered fallen leaves.

Xiao Tingxuan was afraid that the nosy subordinates would see it, and they would misunderstand that he was bullying the little girl in front of him.

After all, how embarrassing his identity in the Xiao family is, he is very clear, and he must be careful at every step here.

The two couldn't stalemate, Xiao Tingxuan simply gave up, lifted the little girl who was holding his calf and put it on the swing.

Don't forget, shoot off the fallen leaves on the corners of her skirt for her.

In front of her eyes, there was a gesture of one after another.

Pretending to be very serious, he said, "Just push for a while, you know?" ”

The little girl opened her half-incomprehensible eyes, looked at him stupidly and smiled, "Brother, hello." ”

Hearing her soft voice, Xiao Tingxuan laughed inexplicably, but deliberately said sharply, "Call me second brother." ”

But the little girl was pushed in the air by Xiao Tingxuan and laughed happily.

The breeze blew Qi Liuhai in front of her forehead, and the pink skirt was driven by the wind, drifting in the silent night, like a small glowing pink butterfly.

muttered, "Second brother." ”

The big man who came to the Xiao Mansion that day was the prince Bai Chenyi at that time, he came to see it when he learned that Xiao Xuemei was his daughter, but he had no intention of taking them back to the palace.

Xiao Xuemei fell to the bottom again from her longing for the future, and Bai Chenyi's coming over this time also completely changed Xiao Xuemei's heart.

Later, when Bai Chenyi fought on the battlefield and quelled the war on the border of the Northern Qi Kingdom, she would use her connections to send Bai Chenyi condolence food and clothes she sewed with her own hands, and letters full of affection to him.

Five years later, the war on the border gradually subsided. The first emperor died of illness, Bai Chenyi ascended the throne in the midst of all expectations, and before he ascended the throne, the Xiao family was fully supportive.

in exchange for the opportunity for Xiao Xuemei to be included in the harem.

At that time, the Xiao family's power in the imperial court was weak after all.

Compared with the Xu family, which had great achievements at that time, it was simply not worth mentioning.

Naturally, the position of the queen fell to the head of Queen Xu, and when Xiao Xuemei was full of expectations to put on a gorgeous dress and enter the palace, she found that she was far from the only one who gave birth to a child for His Majesty.

At that time, Bai Mengtan was a ceramic doll held in the palm of everyone's hands, and although her yarn was treated by the Xiao family well, it was far less luxurious than Bai Mengtan, who was only three years old at the time.

This also derives that when she first entered the palace, in order to favor Xiao Xuemei, she pretended to cater to Queen Xu and be commensurate with her sisters.

When she fell into the well, she was the most ruthless one.

At the same time, Xiao Tingxuan's time in Xiao Mansion was not easy, with his results in private school, he would definitely be able to enter the top three in the spring.

But at that time, Xiao Jingran, one of the chief examiners, removed him from the list of candidates in the name of sexual misconduct of public and private products, so that Xiao Tingxuan could not enter the career again for the rest of his life.

took the opportunity to let his mediocre son get to the top of the list.

On the day of the announcement, his son often loved to commemorate the Flower Street Willow Lane, and he was never soft on the women in the Flower Street, and there were not a few girls who were killed by him in private.

Many women in the flower building hated him, and Xiao Tingxuan also took the opportunity to persuade a woman who had been beaten by him for a long time, poisoned his wine, and then signaled the woman to commit suicide on the grounds that she would take care of her relatives outside.

Xiao Jingran, who lost his son, after a little investigation, how could he not know that it was Xiao Tingxuan who was doing it behind his back.

However, at that time, Xiao Tingxuan had already taken refuge in Xiao Xuemei's door and used him

Good at doing business.

For the time being, she has been appreciated by Xiao Xuemei, but Xiao Xuemei is not free to help him, firstly, because she and Xiao Jingran have never been on the same page, Xiao Jingran has always looked down on her birth, and she really needs someone to earn money for her to take care of some doors in the palace, so that she can better gain a foothold in the palace.

Before Bai Mengsha entered the palace at the age of five, Xiao Tingxuan would give Bai Mengsha the fun things he found outside when there was no one around.

But since Bai Mengsha returned to the palace, there were many maids and eunuchs around her who flattered her and belittled Xiao Tingxuan's identity, and the distance between them has become farther and farther away.

Even in the end, as long as Bai Mengsha saw Xiao Tingxuan's smiling face, she would feel disgusted with hypocrisy.

Over time, in order to survive, Xiao Tingxuan gradually put on a mask that he didn't even recognize.

Back to reality.

When Xiao Tingxuan said the second brother, Bai Mengsha looked at him a little stupidly with a gaze that seemed to understand whether he understood or not.

The sound is like a mosquito "swing, swing." ”

Although the voice was very small, it was still heard clearly by Xiao Tingxuan,

He rubbed Bai Mengsha's hair lovingly, and said softly, "Shasha wants to sit on the swing, and the second brother will take you there." ”

Now Bai Mengsha is sometimes awake and sometimes confused, when she is awake, it seems to be back before the age of five, and when she is confused, she returns to the day that happened in the barracks.

Xiao Tingxuan brought her to the big banyan tree they met for the first time, the banyan tree was well protected by Xiao Tingxuan, but the swing at that time had long been broken, and he made the same swing as before and tied it to the banyan tree.

As soon as Bai Mengsha saw the swing, she was like a child who had been let go, and happily ran over with her skirt and sat on it.

He didn't forget to wave to Xiao Tingxuan, who had been following behind him, smiling like a flower.

"Second brother, come here."

Xiao Tingxuan seemed to be casual, his steps were not slack, and he patiently pushed the swing for her.

Every time she pushed, Bai Mengsha would yell for him to push a little higher, a little higher.

As long as she is happy, Xiao Tingxuan feels that Bai Mengsha is not a blessing to live like this.

Every time after sitting on the swing, Xiao Tingxuan would order someone to prepare a sugar gourd for Bai Mengsha.

But no matter what, it is not a way for Bai Mengsha to stay in the Xiao Mansion for a long time.

She was supposed to go to the Northern Kingdom of Yan, but if His Majesty of the Northern Qi Kingdom found out that her daughter had suffered such a great humiliation.

If you don't continue to swallow your anger, you will definitely start a war and seek justice for it.

Xiao Tingxuan knew that after the war between Northern Qi and Yanbei, there were actually heavy casualties, and if a war was launched at this time, it would only make the Northern Qi State suffer from the enemy, so that those neighboring countries who wanted to take the Northern Qi State would have an opportunity.

This is not the result that Bai Mengtan wants to see, no matter what, he doesn't want to bring trouble to Bai Mengtan who is far away in Yanbeiguo.

Even if he knows that she doesn't have the slightest affection for him, but he feels that he can like someone, even if that person doesn't like him, it is a different kind of happiness, and love doesn't have to be having. It can also be giving

But Bai Mengsha's illness, if it is not cured one day, he will feel ashamed in his heart. After all, the current Bai Mengsha Xiao family's direct relatives are the only ones left, and Xiao Tingxuan has always shown no mercy to those who do not obey his arrangement.

What those people had done to him, he would return it in the same way.

"Master, here's a letter from Yanbei." Xiao Tingxuan's little servant risked being punished by Xiao Tingxuan, and risked his life to deliver the letter.

Because when the master was playing with the princess, they were not allowed to come and disturb them.

But the person who sent the message now is how much the third princess Xiao Tingxuan attaches importance to her, and they have all seen it over the years.

In everything, the third princess has all kinds of strange requirements for her master, whether it is for difficult things or his master, even if she has been busy for a day and a night.

As long as the third princess has any request, he will do it for her with the spirit of twelve.

"What is the letter?" Bai Mengtan has been going to Yanbei for more than 3 months, and he is afraid that Bai Mengtan will forget his existence in the company of Xia Yeteng.

In order for Bai Mengtan to be in Yanbei and convenient to use money, when Xia Yeteng appeared in Yanbei, he secretly opened a lot of money houses in Yanbei Kingdom.

There is also the newly opened Wangxiang Building, as long as Bai Mengtan opens his mouth to want it, he will give his full support without hesitation.

When Xiao Tingxuan saw what was written on the letter, Xiao Tingxuan didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed.

I am happy that I have a legitimate reason to stay by Bai Mengtan's side and continue to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Unhappily, he can't leave Bai Mengsha alone in his house.

Many of the subordinates here are old subordinates of the Xiao family, and if he releases them all, it will inevitably make the Xiao family unable to run.

But if Bai Mengsha was left behind, he would inevitably dare not guarantee that these people would not target Bai Mengsha and would be unfavorable to her.
