The heavy snow fluttered in the wind like catkins.

The heavy palace gate slowly opened, and several people stepped on the snow.

A vicious battle that makes people tired.

Xuan Qi turned his head and looked at the huge Sheng'an Palace, and was silent for a long time......

Why is it so cold in this city that people don't want to stay longer?

Ji Qianning stood beside Xuan Qi, seemed to understand the hidden thoughts in his eyes, stepped forward, raised his left hand and gently held his arm as a sign of comfort: "I'll walk with you." ”

The loose bun and the blood stains all over the body still can't cover the grace of the two.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and it instantly dyed white silk.

"I don't think I've ever heard you mention your mother?" Ji Qianning silently followed behind Xuan Qi for a long time before asking.

Some wounds can only be healed slowly if they are bravely faced.

Xuan Qi stopped, his eyes were gloomy, the matter of the concubine had always been an obsession in his heart, at this time, he finally didn't have any scruples, and he could finally let people listen to the fragility of his heart.

"It's this city that trapped my mother." Xuan Qi suddenly fell silent, took a long breath, and continued, "Even the high-ranking father can't protect his beloved woman, in this cannibalistic palace, the mother concubine became a victim of power, the day she was killed, the seven orifices were bleeding, lying at my feet, I will never forget the situation of that day in my life." That year, Anu was not yet two years old. ”

"There is also the eldest brother, the first child of the mother's concubine, the eldest prince of Chiyan, Xuanfei, who was killed in the cold Sheng'an Palace when he was a child." His eyes were full of sadness, and he was silent for a long time, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Here, there is not the slightest memory of me." ”

Xuan Qi stood there after speaking, not so fragile that he hugged his head and cried, but his eyes gradually became empty.

Ji Qianning took a few steps forward and stood side by side with him, without personal experience, where could she empathize, she understood the pain hidden in his heart. At this moment, no amount of words seems pale: "The deceased are gone, you have to take their share with you, live strong and brave." ”

She has also been immersed in the pain of her parents' death, unable to think or remember...... However, instead of suffering deeply, it is better to live well with their share.

Xuan Qi turned to look at her, and she smiled at him, as warm as the spring sun.

With red eyes, he took her in his arms.

A soft call from her made him let go immediately, and he eagerly grabbed her right arm, and she frowned in pain.

Xuan Qi saw that she was in a lot of pain, slowed down his movements and checked gently, only to see a sword wound on his right arm that was neither deep nor shallow, and the blood was a little coagulated, and she didn't say a word along the way.

Xuan Qi pulled out the saber at his waist, tore off a piece of clothing, and gently bandaged her wounds.

Then, avoiding her right arm, he took her in his arms, and tightly, she almost couldn't breathe, and he said in a choked voice, "Fortunately." ”

Fortunately, you have brought warmth and light to my gloomy life.

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, two lonely people comfort each other, and the two hearts gradually warm and get closer.

……

Mo Lao got up in the middle of the night, heard about the matter of Sheng'an Palace, ran to the gate of the palace, and anxiously waited for the return of his niece. About half an hour later, the two horses slowly returned.

Ji Qianning saw his uncle anxiously waiting in front of the mansion, sped forward, quickly dismounted, and ran in front of him with a smile on his face.

Mo Lao saw his niece who had returned safely, and reproached slightly: "Why don't you know that it will be a sound, I am so worried." ”

Ji Qianning smiled at him: "Isn't it in a hurry, don't you see that I'm good?" After saying that, he turned around twice in the same place.

Mo Lao raised his eyes down, only to see that she was covered in blood, and her right arm was obviously injured, and said bitterly: "Your right arm." ”

"No problem."

Mo Lao raised his hand and hugged her in his arms: "Little sister, it's okay if it's okay." ”

Ji Qianning saw that her uncle cared so much about her, her eyes were red, as if she had experienced the long-lost father's love.

Mo Lao let go of her, and then looked happy: "That's it, it's not bad, my son-in-law, you should have more experience." ”

Xuan Qi, who came at the right time, saluted and greeted Mo Lao.

When Mo Lao saw him, he looked angry: "If my little sister wants to have any mistakes, I will not spare you." ”

Xuan Qi felt a little guilty in his heart, so he could only nod his head over and over again.

"Uncle, you ......" Uncle's cloudiness remained unchanged, which made Ji Qianning cry and laugh.

Subsequently, the three of them entered the mansion, and Xuan Qi once again carefully treated Ji Qianning's wounds.

The night was finally peaceful.

…………

A few days later, Ji Qianning's injuries were almost healed.

On this day, bored, she stroked the piano in the study, and Xuan Qi on the side made peace with the flute.

The appearance of Su Wei broke the piano and flute ensemble.

It turned out that there was a guest in the palace, the third ranked princess of Changle in Chiyan - Xuan Ke.

"How is the sixth brother doing?"

Before you see him, you hear his voice first. After a while, Princess Changle came to the study, only to see that the princess was wearing a brocade dress with ink as the main tone, surrounded by jewels, with a pearl hairpin on her head, a face like a rising sun, cheeks like peach blossoms, and a noble body, especially the pair of red phoenix eyes, which was even more charming and affectionate.

Xuan Qi saluted Princess Changle: "This king has always been fine, Sister Wang came to the house today, has something to do?" ”

"If you have nothing to do, you can't come?" Princess Changle glared at Xuan Qi, this princess was arrogant and uninhibited by nature, "I heard that there is more Meijiao'e in your house, and this princess happens to be fine, so I came to take a look." ”

While speaking, seeing Ji Qianning behind the piano, Changle quickly walked over and asked mischievously, "But this?" ”

Ji Qianning got up, came to the piano case, and saluted her: "Princess Wan'an of Changle." ”

Changle looked at her face and let out a sigh: "It's better to see than to hear, it's really beautiful, no wonder it can make the sixth brother tempted." ”

Ji Qianning took the fragrant tea from the maid and smiled at Changle: "Please sit down and use tea." ”

Changle took the tea in her hand and took a sip: "This princess is familiar with you at first sight and wants to make friends with you." ”

Ji Qianning was surprised: "Make friends? ”

Changle put down the teacup and looked at her in disbelief, quite frustrated: "Okay, although I am a princess, I don't have any friends, and the two royal sisters are not close to me, I heard that there is an extra woman in the sixth brother's house, and I thought to myself, if I can be looked down upon by the sixth brother, it must be an interesting person, so I want to make friends with you." Alright, alright, if you want to, just do it. After speaking, he sat down on the desk angrily and drank all the tea.

Ji Qianning couldn't help but smile and said, "Presumably the princess is also an interesting person, I would like to have fellowship with you." ”

"Really?" Changle jumped up and grabbed her hand, "From this moment on, we are friends, and it is your honor to be a friend of this princess." ”

Changle saw Ji Qianning nodded, and his heart was even happier: "Recently, this palace is just upset in my heart, and I invite you to climb the mountain in a while, is it feasible?" ”

"Climbing a mountain?" Ji Qianning had a trace of hesitation in her heart, and turned her head to look at Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi walked to the two of them, and said to Ji Qianning with a smile: "Anyway, you have nothing to do in the mansion, just go out with Sister Wang to relax." ”

Ji Qianning heard Xuan Qi say this, so she agreed to Changle's invitation. She was secretly happy in her heart, she had been recuperating in the house for the past few days, but she was stuffy.

"Sister Wang, since the invitation has been successful, is there anything else to keep?" Xuan Qi ruthlessly issued an eviction order.

"Sixth brother won't invite me to lunch?" She is a pampered and self-respecting princess, how can she not be angry with this strange sixth brother?

"There is no need for lunch in the Lingwang Mansion." Xuan Qi is serious nonsense.

"It's boring, is this princess still missing a few grains of rice, look at the way you search...... Farewell......" After speaking, he glared at Xuan Qi, pouted and walked outside the study, and suddenly, turned his head and winked at Ji Qianning, "Beauty, don't forget." ”

Ji Qianning smiled and saluted her: "Write it down, princess go slowly." ”

After Changle left, Ji Qianning looked at Xuan Qi and shook his head: "Tut-tut, Princess Changle can really bear it." ”

"They know my temperament." Xuan Qi replied to her with a smile.

"It's just the first time we've met, why did you ask me to agree to the princess's invitation?" Ji Qianning couldn't help the doubts in her heart and asked Xuan Qi.

"There are four princesses in the Sheng'an Palace, the fifth princess Xuanzhen, the daughter of the deposed queen, hanged herself after the abolition, and she cut her hair to become a nun; The eighth sister unfortunately died of illness, and the tenth sister, Princess Gaokang, Xuan Yi, was twenty-eight years old, withdrawn by nature, and not close to ordinary people. Although Sister Sanwang is arrogant, she has a man's heart, is not informal, and is not bound by etiquette, you and her will be able to get along. Besides, because of that incident, she was deeply hit in her heart, and you just happened to accompany her to relax. ”

On the day of the murder of the concubine, it was the third sister who was always by his side, and he has always been grateful to her.

"What?"

"Alas, it's a long story, and I just want you to comfort her for me." Thinking of this, Xuan Qi looked sad.

"Hmm."

"Five years ago, my father gave me a marriage and asked Sister Wang to marry my sister-in-law who was fighting abroad all the year round. Sister Wang loves freedom by nature, she doesn't want to marry a man she has never met, but she can't twist her father, and finally reluctantly agrees to get engaged. Two years later, she met the monk Wuchen of Daxing Temple in the south of the city, the two hit it off at first sight, and fell in love with each other. A year ago, the minister of the court impeached his father about the matter, so Sister Wang and Wuchen agreed to elope. But the whole world belongs to the father, where can they flee? For a while, Long Yan was furious and angrily scolded the two for disregarding humanity and making the royal family lose face. The captured Wuchen was sentenced to five horses, and Sister Wang was also imprisoned until last month. ”

Ji Qianning was shocked after hearing this: "I didn't expect that the princess is also a strange woman who dares to love and hate." It is not easy for two people to fall in love with each other, and it is also his own choice for Wuchen to abandon the Tao, why should he let Gangchang Renren become an excuse to break them up. Is family, class, and face really so important? ”

Xuan Qi was not surprised to say this to her, thinking that in Kunshan, Yucheng, she had already made a shocking remark: "What things in this world, which are reasonable and which are unreasonable, who can say it clearly and clearly?" ”

Xuan Qi suddenly looked at Ji Qianning, took her hands, and looked sincere: "I only know that if I am happy with someone, even if I die, I will be with her." ”

…………

A heavy snowfall a few days ago completely sent away the scorching winter.

As the weather warms up, the snow on the Xinyi Mountains is slowly melting, and people can finally shed their thick clothes to protect against the cold.

On this day, with warm eyes and a gentle breeze, Ji Qianning and Princess Changle made an appointment to climb the mountain.

Xuan Qi sent two attendants to follow him, and in order to make the journey more pleasant, the two ordered the attendants to wait at the foot of the mountain.

All the way up the mountain, all along the way are magnolias, the bare branches are bathed in the morning sun, when the spring is bright, the mountains are full of plain magnolia flowers, graceful posture, unique style.

The name Xinyi Mountain also comes from this.

Although Changle is more than a year old, the two have similar temperaments and quickly become acquainted. There was talk and laughter all the way, and I walked to a flat place halfway up the mountain.

From a distance, a large expanse of brilliant yellow adds a few touches of color to the slightly desolate Xinyi Mountain.

Changle lifted Luo's skirt, chose a stone to sit on, pointed to the novelty in the distance, and said breathlessly: "Winter has just gone, and on Xinyi Mountain, this yellow frangipani is fragrant. ”

Qian Ning was slightly happy to see her face swept away the sadness she had when she first saw her today. It can be seen that Xuan Qi still attaches great importance to this sister Wang, and she wants to enlighten her well: "Huang Suxin, in our Daze, call it to welcome spring." Spring flowers, blooming in the footsteps of spring, ushering in a new year of hope, the princess should also be like this, with a new hope to live. ”

Changle understood what she meant, and his heart was warm, and he got up and walked in front of her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you." ”

Ji Qianning also smiled.

Like a flower smiling blooming in the morning sun.
