Jin Lingyan glared at Xia Xiao angrily, and no one spoke for a while.

Finally, Xia Xiao gently patted Queen Ouyang Xian's hand, he walked towards Concubine Ling step by step, his eyes changed from the initial heartache to the final decision, he stood three steps away in front of her, and said as if with difficulty: "Lingyan, I, I can only be sorry for you." ”

Jin Lingyan smiled lightly as if she had expected it a long time ago, she turned her head and finally looked at Xia Nanxuan, who was pressed and unable to move but had already burst into tears, her eyes were full of reluctance for the first time: "Xuan'er, you must go on the road in the future...... After I leave, you will go to An An and ask Concubine Yan to take you in, you know? ”

"Mother! Mother! Mother! Xia Nanxuan's voice was particularly sad in the cold night, he had already felt something, it was very terrifying, something he couldn't bear.

Jin Lingyan finally stopped looking at him, and the cold light suddenly appeared, and she stabbed into her heart with the dagger hidden in her sleeve for some time, she was so resolute without a trace of hesitation, as if there was nothing in this world worthy of her nostalgia.

"The Mother !!" Xia Nanxuan's eyes were about to split, and he finally fainted directly after a heart-wrenching cry.

Xia Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, looking at her as if she couldn't believe it, she who was once bright and moving, who was once flying and domineering. Although he never loved her, she did everything for him!

She looked at his heartache and shocked eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and she sneered: "Xia Xiao, if Yan Ziqing dies like this one day, will you still be so nostalgic for imperial power?" ”

These were Jin Lingyan's last words.

"Brother Nanxuan, you can speak." An An sat on the edge of the bed and looked worriedly at Xia Nanxuan, who was looking at the ceiling with open eyes and an expressionless face.

It had been a day and a night since he woke up, but he had never spoken, not even moved, his lips had dried and cracked because of lack of water, and his once high-spirited face was gray, as if he had lost his soul.

"An An." A gentle voice like jade sounded, and a woman in a plain long skirt walked in lightly, she didn't apply much fat powder, and she didn't even have any decoration, but the moment she appeared, it seemed to be a collection of heaven and earth, and the beauty made people feel that the most powerful painter in the world probably couldn't outline her beauty, but she really took on the evaluation of "looking like a heavenly person, and being peerless".

This woman is the princess of the Luoyan Kingdom who Xia Xiao once married with ten miles of red makeup, and the first beauty in the Yuncang Continent - Yan Ziqing.

"Mother!" An An threw herself into the woman's arms and cried uneasily, "Brother Nanxuan's mother concubine ......"

Yan Ziqing gently stroked An An's head, frowned slightly, looked at Xia Nanxuan who was lying on the bed, and said in a gentle and gentle voice: "Nanxuan, can I take care of you in the future?" ”

Ben didn't expect a response, but Yan Ziqing saw that Xia Nanxuan finally had a hint of reaction, he slowly turned his head to the side, but he just looked at Yan Ziqing silently, and still didn't speak.

Xia Nanxuan's silence made An Anxin panic, she shrank in Yan Ziqing's arms uneasily and turned her head sideways to look at Xia Nanxuan, then at her mother, then at him, and then she suddenly broke free from Yan Ziqing's embrace, trotted to the side of the bed and held Xia Nanxuan's cold palm tightly.

Her hands were not big, but they were soft and warm, and Xia Nanxuan raised his eyes to look at her.

"Brother Nanxuan, I will always accompany you in the future, okay?" She stretched out her other hand a little nervously and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Xia Nanxuan stared at her outstretched hand for a while, and finally slowly raised his hand and hooked her hand with his little thumb: "Silly girl." You are going to marry in the future, and I am going to marry and have children, how can you stay with me all the time? ”

His throat was hoarse and dry from not being watered for a long time.

An An finally laughed happily, she trotted to pour a bowl of water for Xia Nanxuan and handed it to him, her voice was brisk: "No matter, it's already a hook, An An will always accompany Brother Nanxuan in the future!" ”

Xia Nanxuan looked at An An's brisk and happy expression, his eyes were dyed with some warmth, he drank water, and seemed to have regained some vitality, he got up and made a big salute to Yan Ziqing: "Nanxuan, thank you Concubine Yan for taking her in." ”

Yan Ziqing helped Xia Nanxuan up and shook his head gently, looking at him with deep meaning: "You don't have to be so polite, in the future, you can call my mother concubine with An An." Over the years, I know that you have taught An An that she is not a princess and is not favored, and she may need you to take more care of her in the future. ”

Xia Nanxuan's eyes sank, and he looked at An An, who was a little embarrassed on the side, and then nodded heavily: "Nanxuan swears here, I will do my best in the future to not let An An suffer." ”

"Okay." Yan Ziqing smiled, and the room seemed to be as bright as a thousand flowers blooming with her smile.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, Xia Nanxuan has become depressed since the death of Concubine Ling, and his performance in the school is no longer as brilliant as before, and he has gradually lost his name in this huge palace of Qixia Kingdom, at least on the surface, everything is calm.

After a rainy half a month, the sky finally cleared. It was a rare winter day.

An An wore a snow-white jacket, on which was the plum embroidered by her mother's concubine, and the red dots of Aoxue were dotted on the snow-white jacket, adding a bit of vitality.

At this time, she was standing respectfully beside a girl who was not much older than her, and her appearance was slightly restrained.

The girl is probably only a teenager, with delicate facial features, a pair of beautiful eyes, because she is still young and has not yet grown, but it can be seen that if she grows up, she must be a lovely person.

"You want to learn the piano?" The girl looked sideways at An An and pursed her lips slightly.

She knows An An, the daughter of Concubine Yan, the one who has not been crowned a princess. And she herself was the fourth princess Xia Nantong, who was extremely favored in this palace, and she was actually a little sympathetic when she first heard about An An's situation, but later she met by chance, but she could no longer sympathize with An An.

Because An Ansheng is so beautiful, so beautiful that she is jealous.

An An nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, Sister Sihuang, you play really well, can I learn the piano with you?" ”

"Don't call me the Fourth Emperor Sister, I don't even have the title of princess!" Xia Nantong looked at An An with a little disgust, and suddenly said with a wonderful turn of his eyes, "It's not impossible for you to follow this palace to learn the piano." But ......"

"But what?" An An had long been accustomed to the coldness of these people in the palace to her, and she blinked.

"But you have to practice every day, you can't be lazy, you can't stop if this palace doesn't tell you to stop. Can you do it? Xia Nantong raised his head slightly, raised his chin a little proudly, and said.

"Of course!" An An laughed happily.

Xia Nantong looked at her bright smile, but her face was even more unpleasant: "Since you want to learn, let's start now!" ”

"Huh?" An An exclaimed.

"Ahh Xia Nantong scolded, then turned his head to look at the maid who was with him and said, "A few of you go and bring the piano over again!" ”

After the piano was served, An An laughed stupidly. She has always wanted to learn these but she didn't have the opportunity, her father didn't let her go to any courses, and Brother Nanxuan, who was above the school, could still teach her, but these pianos and dances were sad to her.

Now that I finally have a chance, how can I not be happy?

"What are you laughing at, you have to concentrate on practicing!" Xia Nantong reprimanded, "Today you will learn to play the piano." From the first string to the last, you are not allowed to stop if you don't shout to stop. ”

Half an hour passed, An An only felt that her arm was already so sore that it was difficult to lift, and the fingers repeatedly plucked the strings were even more painful, and she saw the blood line gradually oozing out, but thinking that if she stopped, she might never have the opportunity to learn the piano again, she still gritted her teeth and slowly stroked one by one.

After a while, although An An really wanted to grit his teeth and insist, he was really unable to do it, the strings were stained red with blood oozing from his fingers, and he suddenly let go of his hand, only to feel that his arm was not his own, and the finger was even more painful.

"Bengong hasn't let you stop yet, do you still want to learn the piano?" Xia Nantong saw that An An no longer stroked the qin, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"I ......" An An pursed her lips aggrievedly, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that Xia Nantong didn't want to teach her to learn the piano at all, but she really wanted to learn. Every time I heard melodious tunes flying out of their hands like elves, I couldn't help it.

"Go on." Xia Nantong said indifferently.

At this time, Xia Nanxuan walked over from not far away, he hadn't seen it yet, but when he got closer, his eyes suddenly froze. How could he not see the red on the strings in front of An An?

Almost instantly, Xia Nanxuan arrived at An An's side and raised her hand, the finger was already very red and swollen, and the sharp string cut wound oozed blood.

His face was suddenly gloomy, and he looked at Xia Nantong and said coldly, "Fourth Emperor Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

The princesses in the palace were not as high as the princes, and Xia Nantong was not a few years older than Xia Nanxuan, but she was really taken aback when she saw Xia Nanxuan suddenly looking at her so fiercely.

"I ......" Xia Nantong calmed down, but her face was already red, "I'm just teaching her to play the piano." ”

Xia Nanxuan grabbed An An's shoulders and walked out with her, turning his head back and looking at Xia Nantong coldly as he walked, and said, "Is the Fourth Emperor Sister really stupid when we are all stupid?" ”

Xia Nantong looked at the backs of them leaving, his fists clenched in his hands, and his face was innocent for a while.

Directly brought An An back to the dormitory, Xia Nanxuan held the back of her hand and carefully applied the ointment to her, his lips were pursed, and his brows were also frowned, as if he was extremely unhappy.

"Brother Nanxuan......" An An snorted.

"Shut up."

"Oh......"

His action of medicating her was very gentle, An An even felt that his hands were not so painful, looking at his appearance, but there was an indescribable happy feeling in his heart.

"You're still laughing?" Xia Nanxuan looked up after giving An An the medicine, and saw that there was still a smile on the corner of An An's mouth, and he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

An An immediately smiled when he heard this, his mouth pursed, and he only stared at Xia Nanxuan pitifully with wide eyes.
