Four years later.

The Imperial Palace of Qixia Kingdom.

Today is a special day, because the Imperial Palace of Qixia Kingdom will welcome a special guest today, that is, the fourth princess of their neighboring country, Yan Xingluo.

It is rumored that this Yan Xingluo has been outstanding in appearance since she was a child, although her reputation is not as good as that of Princess Yan Ziqing back then, and her reputation has spread throughout the Yuncang Continent, but she is also a beautiful and gentle princess with a far-reaching reputation in the country of Luoyan. In addition, he is seventeen years old, which is a good year, and this invitation to Qixia Kingdom has made those princes who have lived in the deep palace for a long time and have not yet married their wives and the children of those noble princes and nobles feel a little excited.

Even those who have already married concubines have a faint expectation in their hearts, after all, men have always been able to have three wives and four concubines, and these noble palace nobles may not dare to criticize even if they have three palaces and six courts.

In comparison, the princesses of Qixia Kingdom are obviously not as attentive as the princes, and even look at their royal brothers and brothers secretly discussing how beautiful Yan Xingluo is, and they are faintly disdainful. Is this princess from a foreign country really more beautiful than any princess in her own country? They were a little unconvinced.

In such an atmosphere, Yan Xingluo came to the Imperial Palace of Qixia Kingdom.

I saw a pair of slender jade hands stretching out the sedan curtain of the delicate sedan chair, and the powder blue water sleeves slid down to the back of the wrist, revealing the white jade wrist at a glance.

When the sedan curtain was opened, the princes and princesses saw the bright and moving woman in the sedan chair.

Her long black hair slid between her snow-white fingers, coiled into a flowing cloud bun, embedded with a begonia bead flower, hanging down on both sides of the long purple jade Yingluo to the shoulders, eyebrows green like willows, white and greasy skin like fat, lips like danguo, coral chains and red jade bracelets on the wrist, powder blue Luo skirt body, water sleeves fluttering, and a green ribbon tied around the waist.

The princesses and young ladies who were a little unconvinced couldn't even think of comparing beauty with her the moment they saw Yan Xingluo, but the princes and princes were full of brilliance in their eyes, and such a beautiful woman really responded to the sentence "My fair lady, good gentleman".

Yan Xingluo smiled softly like the sparkling spring water that swept through the hearts of all the men present, she got off the sedan chair with the support of the palace people, and then stepped forward to give a salute, her voice was tactful and melodious: "Yan Xingluo, the fourth princess of the wild goose country, has seen Your Majesty, has seen the queen mother, has seen the princes and princesses, Miss Gongzi." ”

I don't know how many men present have become an intoxicating picture when they dream back at midnight.

And this also includes Xia Nanshuo, the third prince of Qixia Kingdom. He looked at Yan Xingluo, his eyes were very surprised, three points were divided into her beauty, and seven points were because her appearance was slightly similar to his sister An An, who he used to bully as a child.

Four years ago, a fire broke out suddenly, and An was buried in the flames. But Xia Nanshuo always had a feeling that An An might not be dead, and there was no reason for this, because the fire burned people beyond recognition, and he didn't have any evidence to corroborate. Even after four years, he himself felt that he should only have such a delusion because he could not accept the fact that An An was dead.

But now the moment he saw Yan Xingluo, he suddenly felt that maybe he didn't feel wrong. Is An An back? If it were her, she would never have bullied her all the time like she did when she was a child......

After meeting the ceremony, Yan Xingluo was arranged to live in the Xingcui Palace of Qixia Kingdom, and the name of this palace also has a star character, which is commensurate with her name.

Xia Xiao chuckled and looked at the princes and nobles who were gearing up, and said, "Which of you is willing to send Princess Xingluo to Xingcui Palace?" ”

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!" The same word, but it was several people who raised their hands and shouted, and those people looked at each other as if they were already secretly competing.

At this moment, Xia Nanshuo stepped forward and said, "Father, the son is willing to send Princess Xingluo to Xingcui Palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen Ouyang Xian, who was standing on the side, first showed a look of surprise, she knew very well what kind of character her son was, Xia Nanshuo was now twenty years old but had never refused to marry a wife, she knew that he was unwilling to let him go because of this. It's just that now, he actually took the initiative himself?

The queen took a closer look at the Yan Xingluo, and then found that this woman's appearance was somewhat similar to the dead Yan Ziqing's daughter An An, and she was shocked in her heart, no wonder Ah Shuo is like this.

And the sons who were originally competing with each other were bitter when they heard Xia Nanshuo's words, they were still able to fight without the prince to speak, but now that these three princes have petitioned, where can they still be their turn? Putting down their hands in a dejected manner, they still knew that they couldn't compete with the third prince.

Xia Xiao didn't break it, he smiled and said, "Then Ah Shuo, you will take Princess Xingluo to settle down." ”

"Yes, Father." Xia Nanshuo responded, he turned to look at Yan Xingluo, but Yan Xingluo happened to be looking at him as well.

Looking at each other, she smiled softly at him, but he suddenly felt that she didn't seem to be like the one he remembered.

Restraining his momentary mood, Xia Nanshuo walked towards Yan Xingluo and said with a smile: "Princess Xingluo has been tired all the way, so this king will take you to Xingcui Palace to rest." ”

"Then I'm tired of Your Highness." Yan Xingluo blessed her body, and said goodbye to the emperor and empress, and then followed Xia Nanshuo to Xingcui Palace.

On the road.

"I don't know what His Highness is called?" Yan Xingluo took the initiative to ask.

"This king is the third prince of Qixia Kingdom, Xia Nanshuo, and is titled King Shuo." Xia Nanshuo turned his head to look at her and said slowly.

Yan Xingluo was overjoyed when she heard this, but her face was calm.

He is really the queen's concubine, and he is still a wife who has not yet married!

At that time, I saw him at a glance in the crowd, his upright posture, calm temperament, and well-defined facial features all made her eyes shine, and she said in her heart that it would be good if this was one of the queen's concubines. And as he came out to call himself a son, her mind became more and more active, and whether he was the queen's concubine or not, but at least he was also a prince and seemed to be quite interesting to himself.

Yan Xingluo was secretly happy, but what woman could not be happy to see such a handsome boy with affection for herself!

And now, Xia Nanshuo is the queen's concubine and the most powerful contender for the crown prince in the future......

Thinking about it a thousand times, Yan Xingluo smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Shuo." Xingluo heard of your name as early as when she fell into the country of wild geese, and everyone said that you were handsome and handsome, and you were a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs. ”

She praised him like this, she thought that Xia Nanshuo would be happy, but she didn't expect her to see him frowning, as if she didn't have the slightest joy. It's rare that you boasted too early? Yan Xingluo said in his heart.

"You ......" Xia Nanshuo spoke, but he paused again when he said it.

"Lord Shuo, what's wrong?" Yan Xingluo looked sideways at him.

Looking at each other, Xia Nanshuo looked at her eyes and was slightly stunned, and then said as if he had come back to his senses: "Princess Xingluo doesn't have to be so polite, if you don't mind, just call me Nanshuo." ”

Yan Xingluo looked at his serious expression, and her heart suddenly seemed to be really moved.

She turned her head away and stopped looking at him as if she was a little silent, but at this moment, she heard her red lips open slightly, and said softly, "...... Nanshuo, then you can call me Aluo. ”

Xia Nanshuo's eyes seemed to light up, but Na Ying's eyebrows frowned slightly. Yan Xingluo does look like her, but her words and deeds make him feel extremely strange......

When the two were talking, they didn't realize that they had arrived at the palace gate of Xingcui Palace, and there were already more than a dozen palace maids standing in two rows waiting there, seeing Xia Nanshuo and a beautiful woman walking over together, the palace maids bent down and saluted: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness, the princess." ”

Xia Nanshuo didn't say anything when he saw this, and Yan Xingluo was a guest after all, so he didn't know whether to let the palace maids be exempt for a while.

Xia Nanshuo saw that she didn't speak, so he said seriously: "Ah Luo, now you are the master of this Star Extract Palace. These palace maids are in your charge. ”

"Oh!" Yan Xingluo saw Xia Nanshuo say this, and for some reason he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although he knew that he was kind, but even if he should take care of these palace maids by himself, he shouldn't have fallen into his face at this time!

Yan Xingluo then looked at the palace maids and said, "Get up." ”

The palace maids got up when they got the order, Yan Xingluo walked inside, turned her head to look at Xia Nanshuo and was about to invite him to sit together, but Xia Nanshuo suddenly said: "Then this king will leave first." ”

Slightly stunned, why did he suddenly call himself "this king" again?

"Okay." Yan Xingluo's face was a little unsightly, but she still forced herself to laugh and said, "Ah Luo is still very unfamiliar with this Qixia Kingdom Palace when she first arrives. ”

Xia Nanshuo looked at her and bowed slightly, but didn't speak again, only turned around and left.

Yan Xingluo looked at Xia Nanshuo's distant back, but she was secretly annoyed in her heart. What's the matter with this man? It's obvious that he showed favor to himself first, but how can he feel hot and cold now, it's really uncomfortable!

Chopped his feet hatefully, and Yan Xingluo took a group of palace maids into this Xingcui Palace.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

What made Yan Xingluo angry was that no one had come to Xingcui Palace to chat with him for the entire five days! Obviously, so many princes and nobles were interested in themselves at that time, why didn't anyone come over!

What she didn't know was that even if many people were interested in her, who would dare to come after the third prince Xia Nanshuo's appearance? No one in this Qixia Kingdom knows that the three princes have been smart since childhood, and they are outstanding in both civil and military affairs. Queen Ouyang Xian's favorite is these three princes, and his general's uncle Ouyang Tianhai, and the prime minister's grandfather Ouyang Yuan are even more precious to Xia Nanshuo!
