At this moment, Xia Nanxuan stretched out his hand and flicked An An's forehead vigorously.

"Yikes!" An An cried out in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Xia Nanxuan asked with a straight face.

"Uh-huh." An An nodded hurriedly, pitiful.

Xia Nanxuan said viciously: "It's good to know that it hurts!" If you hurt yourself like this again in the future, I will ......"

He stretched out his hand and gestured in front of An An's forehead with an unkind face, but he didn't play it again after all.

When An An saw it, he didn't know that he had already lost most of his anger, so he hurriedly put on a flattering face and smiled: "An An will never dare in the future!" ”

What An An didn't know was that after that day, Xia Nanxuan deliberately went to find trouble with Xia Nantong again, and he didn't do anything special, but just caught a small snake and quietly placed it in Xia Nantong's bedroom.

But Xia Nantong went back to the dormitory and was about to fall asleep, but she suddenly saw a small snake swimming on her couch, and she was so shocked that she didn't dare to go back to sleep in the dormitory for several days.

In the blink of an eye, winter has passed, and this day is a sunny day in spring.

A sandalwood square table, on both sides are sitting two teenage children, the girl is fair and ruddy, picturesque eyebrows, although she is still young but is already a living little beauty, it can be seen that if the pretty face grows a little more must be a stunning color, the boy is also a sign of handsome face, the bridge of the nose is handsome, the eyes with a slight upward pick are as bright as black obsidian, and the chin is slightly childish and round.

The girl looked at the boy with a pair of small hands on her cheeks and asked expectantly, "Brother Nanxuan, what are you going to learn today?" ”

This girl is An An, and the boy is Xia Nanxuan.

Xia Nanxuan looked at An An, with a smile in his eyes, stretched out his head and flicked her forehead dotingly, and said with a smile: "Let's learn to ride a horse today, are you afraid?" ”

"Huh?" An An covered her mouth with her little hand and exclaimed, then turned her head to look at Yan Ziqing and said cryingly, "Mother! Is what Brother Nan Xuan said true? ”

Yan Ziqing smiled softly and stepped forward to stroke An An's hair: "Go, An An don't have to be afraid, Nan Xuan will protect you." ”

"But I'm a girl, not a boy, so why should I learn to ride a horse!" An An said a little unconvinced, she remembered that those sisters in the palace were learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and they looked very elegant, and she wanted to be like them!

Yan Ziqing was a little helpless, she squatted down to support An An's shoulder, looked at the face that had already seen her face with complicated eyes, and said seriously: "An An, what you lack now is the ability to protect yourself." Someday, you'll understand. ”

An An saw that the concubine's expression was rare and serious, and finally accepted her grievances, and nodded as if she didn't understand.

Yan Ziqing smiled encouragingly at An An, then stood up and took An An's little hand and handed it to Xia Nanxuan: "Nanxuan, please." ”

After Xia Nanxuan took An An to the horse farm, and saw many horses of various colors, An An became happy again, looking carefully one by one, his expression was full of curiosity.

Xia Nanxuan looked at her with some amusement, and then pointed to the steward of the horse farm and brought a little white horse over: "An An, this pony is very docile, you can ride it." ”

An An stared at the little white horse's eyes, and then timidly stroked its smooth hair, and the little horse immediately shook his head slightly, as if he was enjoying it very much, An An laughed, and felt that he didn't seem to be too scared.

When An An rode the pony, her vision immediately widened a lot, but she was a little scared when she got out of the ground, she grabbed the reins and didn't dare to let go timidly, Xia Nanxuan only felt a little funny when she saw this, he pulled the reins in front of the horse lightly, and the little white horse immediately stepped on the horse's hooves and walked up in small steps.

An An only felt a strong jolting sensation on the back of the straddled horse, so frightened that she immediately bent down and hugged the neck of the little white horse and did not dare to move, for fear that she would fall down and be injured.

"Yo, look who this is!" At this moment, a sneer came, and several teenage boys walked towards An An and Xia Nanxuan in groups, led by the third prince Xia Nanshuo.

Xia Nanxuan frowned, obviously not expecting to meet them. An An also saw them, she was still holding the horse's neck and didn't dare to move, but at this time, she let go of her hand and straightened up, she didn't want people to see her jokes!

The other boys saw An An's face at this time, and only thought that she was extremely good-looking, but they wanted to know her for a while, so someone asked suspiciously: "Third prince, I don't know who this girl is?" ”

"Oh! Brother Zhou Yuan, you don't know it, it's understandable, this girl is the daughter of the famous Yan Guifei, because her father has never named her, and now she only uses a nickname, called An An. Xia Nanshuo deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "She is already twelve years old, but her father didn't even let her enter the academy!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan was surprised, obviously a little incomprehensible.

"Brother Three Emperors." Xia Nanxuan saw that Xia Nanshuo was still about to speak, and immediately interrupted, "An An and I are just about to leave, so it won't disturb your interest in riding horses!" ”

Xia Nanxuan handed his hand to An An as he spoke, An An just wanted to lean over and hold it, but Xia Nanshuo deliberately threw a stone on the horse's buttocks, the little white horse was suddenly frightened and neighed, and the horse's hooves stepped on it and ran forward!

Xia Nanxuan's face sank suddenly, he immediately turned over and rode a pony without saying a word, and chased after An An, but saw that An An didn't say a word at this time, and her back was as shaky as that leaf boat, she was so scared that she couldn't even shout!

Xia Nanxuan only felt an unspeakable panic fill his mind in an instant, and he wanted to slap himself, only hating himself, how could he let An An fall into such a predicament!

"An An!" Xia Nanxuan shouted, who knew that An An heard Xia Nanxuan's voice and seemed to want to turn back, this body lost its balance for a while and was about to fall to the ground.

Xia Nanxuan couldn't care about anything anymore, he stepped on it and jumped forward directly, but it was indeed good to catch An An before she fell, he fell to the ground, and rolled several times in his arms before stopping the momentum.

"Brother Nanxuan!" An An exclaimed, she hurriedly turned over from Xia Nanxuan's arms, squatting down to look at him.

"Oops, it hurts!" Xia Nanxuan rolled on the ground, covered his heart and shouted.

An An's eyes suddenly turned red, and he was about to speak, but he saw Xia Nanxuan standing up with a smile, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, lie to you!" ”

An An felt a little annoyed again, she stood up and pushed him: "I'm going to be scared to death!" ”

Who knew that Xia Nanxuan stumbled back half a step at this push, An An's face suddenly changed, she knew that Xia Nanxuan was probably really injured, she was just afraid that she was worried about being so angry just now.

Thinking like this, suddenly the tears couldn't stop falling down, she sniffed and glared at Xia Nanxuan, then took Xia Nanxuan's hand and walked back with him: "Let's go back." ”

Xia Nanxuan knew that he might have made her angry just now, so he had to let her lead her, and when he walked halfway, he met Xia Nanshuo and his party head-on.

Xia Nanshuo saw An An and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but An An stared at him viciously with Sen Han's eyes for the first time, Xia Nanshuo was looked at by her like that, and felt that the words in his mouth seemed to be choked and couldn't spit out. The group of children of the family who followed Xia Nanshuo saw that he was silent, and they all remained silent and watched An An lead Xia Nanxuan away slowly.

And after they left, Xia Nanshuo seemed to be extremely angry, and he flicked his sleeves suddenly: "Go back!" ”

One of the eyeless people was surprised: "Huh? Three princes, we haven't ridden yet! ”

Xia Nanshuo glared at him viciously, if it weren't for the fact that he was also an identity with status, I was afraid that he would want to beat him directly: "What to ride!" Someone, kill both horses for me!" ”

As soon as everyone saw it, Xia Nanshuo was referring to the two ponies that An An and Xia Nanxuan had ridden just now, and their faces suddenly changed.

When An An and Xia Nanxuan returned to Yan Ziqing's bedroom, Yan Ziqing immediately invited the imperial doctor to see Xia Nanxuan's injury.

An An's eyes were red again when she heard this, she sat on the edge of Xia Nanxuan's bed and was silent, she didn't know what she was thinking with tears in her eyes. How could Xia Nanxuan see her like this, so she had to think of a way to say something good to tease her, but this time it didn't work, and when she was frowning, An An looked at him steadily: "Brother Nanxuan, I figured it out." ”

"Huh?" Xia Nanxuan looked inexplicable.

"I don't learn any piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I want to learn horseback riding and archery, I also have to learn swords, guns, and ......."

"Hey, stop, stop!" Xia Nanxuan interrupted her with some headaches, "What's wrong with you?" I didn't want to learn these before, saying that I hated these rudeness, but now I want to learn? ”

An An nodded: "Mother is right, I am different from my sisters, I have to learn to protect myself first." ”

Xia Nanxuan was silent, An An's sudden sensibility made him a little overwhelmed, and he even blamed himself a little that if he hadn't taken her to ride a horse today, this would not have happened.

Yan Ziqing listened to it at this time, but her eyes were complicated, she walked behind An An and gently stroked her soft hair and looked at Xia Nanxuan: "Then when you are injured, you can teach An An these things." ”

Xia Nanxuan looked at Yan Ziqing puzzled, but nodded after seeing her determined gaze.

He actually didn't really understand why she wanted An An to learn what these men should learn so much, he always had an inexplicable premonition that his mother Yan Ziqing seemed to be worried about An An's future.

But what is she worried about?

And his puzzle was answered soon after.

When he came back from the academy that day and saw the fire spreading throughout the dormitory, he understood.

But it was too late.

Yan Ziqing and An An, neither of them escaped the ruthless devouring of this fire, they completely disappeared from his life, the woman who gently asked him, "I will take care of you in the future", and the girl who smiled and said that she would "always accompany Brother Nanxuan".

His world, for a moment, seemed to be devoid of light.
