Xiao Qing listened to An Jin's words and bowed slightly, "Taifu is reasonable, my father also knows this, but none of us want to see that this incident provokes a war between the two countries, this is our consensus, isn't it?"

"We know what the prince means, please rest assured that if everyone can handle this matter objectively and fairly, Ah Ran can guarantee that it will not evolve into that point. An Ran looked at Xiao Qing, her meaning was already very clear, that is, if Emperor Sheng wanted to bite to the death, and insisted on counting the plan, then she didn't dare to guarantee whether it would become a point of fighting each other.

"That's very good. Then since the matter has been made clear, the palace will return to the palace first. Xiao Qing stood up.

"It's rare to come once, why don't you stay and have lunch and then go back?" An Jin stood up.

"Thank you Taifu for your kindness, this palace has to rush back to restore your life, next time. The father heard that the Taifu was unwell, and asked the Taifu to take care, Dasheng Guo can't live without the Taifu. ”

"Thank you for your concern, please tell Your Majesty, it's very good, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. An said politely.

"Hongu will definitely convey it. ”

"Ah Ran, you send the prince out. An Jin said.

"Yes, father. Prince, please come here. An Ran looked at Xiao Qing with a smile.

Xiao Qing and An Ran walked out of the Laiyin Pavilion and walked side by side, "Ah Ran, I still remember when I was a child, Taifu occasionally took you into the palace, and at that time, I let you be taken care of by the queen mother, and when the queen mother was busy, she handed you over to me and let me take you to play with me." ”

Although An Ran was not impressed by these things, he still had a little memory. Xiao Qing is a real person, and he has no ambition for things like fame and fortune, so he was taken the throne by Xiao Yi in his previous life, and he didn't even save his life.

"Yes, Ah Ran still remembers that the prince was afraid that Ah Ran would be injured, so he didn't dare to take Ah Ran to play with anything dangerous, but just took Ah Ran to see how to write. An Ran recalled the past.

Xiao Qing was also more timid and cautious, at that time, the queen asked Xiao Qing to take her, and Xiao Qing only took her to read and write together, and never dared to play anything else.

At a young age, he knew very well that An Ran's identity was very special, and if something happened, he would not be able to explain it to the An family.

"Yes, I didn't dare to take you around at that time, so I had to let you read and write with me. Ah Ran must have found it extremely boring. Xiao Qing smiled bitterly.

An Ran shook his head, "Actually, I want to thank the prince, although he was young at that time, it was precisely because of his exposure to the prince that Ah Ran was able to slowly learn that he had to calm down and think about everything." Speaking of which, I should be grateful to the crown prince. ”

This is not a compliment, from Xiao Qing's body, An Ran can indeed learn this.

"Ah Ran, I laughed. For more than a year, Ah Ran has been doing well?"

An Ran nodded slightly, "It's okay." She said it lightly, many things, in fact, do not need to be said at the meeting.

"That's good. Xiao Qing knew that An Ran didn't want to say more, so naturally he didn't ask more.

An Ran remembered the fate of Xiao Qing in his previous life, and looked at the thick man in front of him, a little unbearable. In this life, her own fate has been reversed, I don't know if Xiao Qing will have a different ending.

In any case, An Ran didn't want Xiao Qing to get involved in these struggles, he was not a person who liked to compete for fame and fortune, if he could, An Ran really hoped that he could live the life he wanted.

"Prince, there is a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?" An Ran suddenly asked, his expression a little serious.

"Between me and An Ran, is there anything else that should not be said? But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

An Ran's good-looking phoenix eyes looked at him, met his eyes, and said, "The prince has always disliked a quiet life, have you ever thought that one day you can live such a life?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, but soon resumed his usual light smile, "Why don't I want to?" But Ah Ran grew up in a family since he was a child, although he is not in the palace, but for these things, the helplessness in them, you should be clear. There are some things that you can't just think about, you have to be able to do it. I was born into the royal family, and I am also the crown prince, this is a natural fate, and I can't escape. Xiao Qing's tone was full of endless helplessness and sorrow, he didn't want to be a member of the royal family, but his fate was not up to him.

An Ran understood what Xiao Qing meant, and could also understand the distress and helplessness in his heart, "Actually, it's not that there is no way. ”

Hearing An Ran's words, Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Ah Ran might as well talk about it." ”

looked into Xiao Qing's eyes and looked into the bottom of his eyes, "The identity of the prince represents glory, but it is more of a burden and helplessness. But the prince's temperament is not suitable for such a person, if you really don't want it, find a way to get rid of it. ”

If this identity brings him unhappiness, then why not have it.

An Ran's words, Xiao Qing just smiled slightly, and his tone was very light, "Ah Ran's thoughts, in fact, I have also thought about them." But as Ah Ran said, this identity represents glory, and if I lose this identity, then how many people will lose this light. Especially my mother, who was so preoccupied with me that I could ascend to the throne of God, and I did not want to break her heart or let her wish be disappointed. Even if I do this, my heart is unwilling, but if I am sacrificed, it is worth it to make so many people happy and bring them glory and wealth. That's the value and meaning of my existence. Xiao Qing smiled faintly, and there was more bitterness in that smile.

Hearing Xiao Qing's words, An Ran finally understood that Xiao Qing did not live for herself, she lived for others, for his mother, and for all those who expected him.

suddenly felt that a person with such a noble status as Xiao Qing actually lived more tired than anyone else, he never dared to do what he wanted, and never dared to calculate for himself. Even if he doesn't want to, he will force himself to do it, because he is not for himself, but for the expectations of others.

An Ran couldn't help but sympathize with Xiao Qing, but no matter what, the road was his own choice, since Xiao Qing chose such a path, then he had to go on, and no one could change this.

Since the prince said so, Ah Ran respected the prince's decision. If one day, the prince needs help, as long as An Ran can help, he will not refuse. ”

"Thank you, Aran, and so do I. ”
