They looked at Luo Xuan blankly, and Luo Xuan also looked at An Daoping blankly.

After sitting for a while and not feeling any movement, An Daoping opened his eyes a little impatiently, glanced at them, and finally landed on the whip in Luo Xuan's hand: "Xuan'er, if you want to beat me to vent your anger, hurry up, save me from changing my mind for a while and accidentally hurting you." ”

In fact, Luo Xuan is an extremely coaxing person, and was laughed at by An Daoping's sentence "I'm afraid of accidentally hurting you", and directly asked the maid next to him to help An Daoping up from the chair: "Daoping, don't talk anymore, this palace believes in you, you get up." ”

Originally, An Daoping wanted to provoke Luo Xuan again, but looking at Luo Xuan's expression, he realized that it was difficult, so he stood up.

He's not a masochist anyway, and if he doesn't get beaten, he's happy to stand up.

Thinking of this, An Daoping sighed.

"You're done with dinner, aren't you?" Luo Xuan approached An Daoping's side affectionately, and her tone was intimate, "In this case, you can go and have dinner with me, and we will chat by the way." ”

"Don't you don't talk when you eat?" Thinking of the rule of "eating without saying a word" that the royal people have always abided by, An Daoping looked at Luo Xuan with some confusion.

Luo Xuan blinked her eyes, and actually added a bit of agility to herself out of thin air: "Oh, it's nothing, the rule is that the dead are alive, so even if you say a few words, it's nothing, as long as you don't keep doing this." ”

"Okay...... ...... "An Daoping didn't have any idea about this, he had always been talking and eating at home, so he followed Luo Xuan directly to the restaurant, the two of them sat opposite each other, An Daoping helped Luo Xuan take the dishes and chopsticks, Luo Xuan slowly picked the dishes on the table, and An Daoping held a cup of hot tea, sipping slowly, while staring at Luo Xuan's every move.

"I remember the person below told me today," Luo Xuan said seemingly casually, "You originally entered An's house happily, but after a while, you walked out in a trance...... Did the An family tell you something? ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Xuan actually said the "people below" directly, An Daoping pursed his lips, and still couldn't help but ask with some displeasure, "There are so many people below you, why didn't you hear what my family and I were saying?" ”

"Ahem," Luo Xuan bowed her hand a little embarrassedly, her eyes wandering, "Although I sent someone to follow you, I mainly wanted to guard your safety, and I didn't hear you talk to your family." ”

After saying this, she hurriedly lowered her head and ate several large mouthfuls of food in a row, and it seemed that she didn't believe these words very much.

"Well......" An Daoping hesitated for a long time, but still told Luo Xuan about the process of talking to his family.

"Actually, I've always felt that I'm sorry for An Juan."

Speak from this sentence.

Luo Xuan's little ears unconsciously pricked up, looking at his expression, he was not at all interested in An Daoping's words, but he had actually been waiting for An Daoping's next words.

An Daoping was silent for a while, but still told An Juan about the past that An Juan had encountered: "An Juan is my sister, my own sister, but she is treated completely differently from me. ”

Having heard that rural people have different attitudes towards women and sons, Luo Xuan asked with some curiosity: "Is it because your family often beats and scolds An Juan?" ”

Speaking of the word "beating and scolding", Luo Xuan frowned a little unbearably, after all, as the most noble princess, even if Luo Xuan was treated coldly, she had never been hurt physically.

After all, she is still the daughter of today's son, and the emperor and concubines dare not hurt her easily, and as for the subordinates, they don't even dare to look at her.

Looking at Luo Xuan's simple appearance, An Daoping smiled bitterly, and for the first time felt that An Xuan should envy Luo Xuan, because she had never suffered.

Even if it was a deceit in the court, because she had never been very favored and was a daughter who couldn't get the throne, Luo Xuan didn't get involved at all.

He smiled faintly, and continued: "Since she was a child, An Juan was asked to go to the mountains to chop firewood, but because she was a woman, she didn't have enough strength, so she could only pick up the branches in the mountains and throw them into the basket she was carrying on her back. ”

"If a man is a man, she can go and get an axe and cut down a few more trees, and the firewood she needs for a day is enough, but because she can't cut down trees, she can only pick them up everywhere, and she often goes deep into the mountains and forests, which is very dangerous."

The words "deep in the mountains and forests" didn't seem very daunting, but Luo Xuan couldn't help but lift her expression when she heard it.

Having lived in the crowd since she was a child, she did not know the dangers of the mountains and forests, let alone experienced them herself, but it was this ignorance that made her even more frightened.

Just like now, after hearing An Daoping's relay, Luo Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly, she hesitated for a long time, but still whispered the question in her heart: "That...... What crisis has An Xuan Ke encountered? ”

She thought of a time when she followed her father to hunt, and someone hunted a fierce beast that was alive and well, and His Majesty appreciated it very much, and directly gave the warrior a lot of money, and then asked him to put this dying but still very strong tiger in the middle of the field, so that many children rushed to use weapons to kill the big tiger.

Even if it was far away, Luo Xuan still remembered the majesty of the big tiger, even if it was a few dozen meters away, the glance it projected carelessly still made her tremble......

An Daoping's words pulled her back from the memories of the past: "Of course, I remember that once An Juan was entangled by a big snake, the big snake was two people long, and its body was as thick as a man's thighs. ”

Regarding An Daoping's words, Luo Xuan just imagined it in her heart, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, then calmed down and continued to look at An Daoping: "Listening to you say this, this snake should be non-venomous, right?" ”

It's just that even here, An Daoping's answer is not firm: "I'm not sure...... I heard from adults that this snake is not very poisonous and can't bite people, and it is estimated that this snake also knows this, so it didn't bite An Wan at all, but wanted to wrap its body around her. ”

She ...... Has she always been this tough? Luo Xuan tried to pull her thoughts away from the imagination about An Daoping's narrative, and then asked a little embarrassedly, "I really don't know...... In my opinion, she should be a smooth sailing woman, otherwise how could so many people like her? ”

Hearing Luo Xuan's question, An Daoping couldn't help but tilt his head, and his expression was also a little puzzled: "Actually, I don't know why An Xuan can be loved by so many people...... Although she is not such a nuisance figure at home, but it is not like now, everyone will secretly have a good impression of her? ”

He compared the difference between the past and the present, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it's ...... Anjuan has become good-looking, so there are more people who like her? ”

"Really?" Luo Xuan raised her eyebrows, her eyes were a little puzzled, "It looks like this, it's really useful to be good-looking." ”

"Let's not talk about it yet," An Daoping shook his head, "I'll continue with what I just said......

"Okay, you say." As soon as An Daoping reminded her, Luo Xuan also recalled what An Daoping had not finished speaking, so she put her curiosity back into her head and tilted her head and waited for An Daoping to tell the following story.

"When I got a little older, the dishes made by An Juan became more and more delicious, so my mother simply handed over all three meals a day to An Juan and asked her to do it, so that my mother could free up her hands to do something else." An Daoping raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head, obviously falling into memory, "At that time, I was also at the age of going to the academy, An Juan made me lunch every day, put it in the food box, I took it to the academy and asked the people in the small kitchen to help heat it up, and then I ate it directly as lunch." ”

"Once, the eldest young master of an academy accidentally saw the dishes in my food box, thought it looked very good, and then tasted it again, and felt that the taste was really good, so he discussed with me that he wanted the person who cooked for me to go to him to be a cook, and the treatment would definitely not be low."

has been following An Daoping's thinking, Luo Xuan has completely fallen into the story told by An Daoping, so when An Daoping paused, she naturally answered: "An Juan went to be a cook for this eldest young master?" ”

"No, no." An Daoping shook his head a little embarrassed, and said his and An Li's thoughts in Luo Xuan's questioning gaze, "It's also ashamed to talk about it, at that time I thought it was good to let her cook for the eldest young master, but my mother persuaded me, saying that An Juan has always been abused by her family, and if she succeeds in getting to the eldest young master's bed, it is estimated that she will blow the pillow wind to the eldest young master in the future, and say bad things about me, and you must not let her get close to the rich young master." ”

When An Daoping denied it, Luo Xuan had dozens of reasons in her mind, but in any case, she didn't expect An Daoping to finally say the most unbelievable reason......

"Huh?" This word, with the tone, can already vividly express Luo Xuan's thoughts.

Facing Luo Xuan's eyes, An Daoping was a little embarrassed, so he reached out and scratched his head, and coughed lightly: "Xuan'er, I was really blindfolded by lard at that time, and I actually thought that my mother was right, so I went to the eldest young master and rejected his request, saying that An Juan was unwilling to go to the city, and she had some mental problems......"

"Although the eldest young master was not very happy, he didn't say anything, and directly gave me a piece of money, so that when An Juan cooks for me in the future, remember to bring him one."

It just so happened that someone sent refreshments over, and in order to cover up the guilt in his heart, An Daoping hurriedly reached out and twisted a piece of dim sum from the plate and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and then continued the topic seemingly casually: "Compared with our family at that time, the eldest young master is really the difference between cloud and mud, and the piece of silver he gave at random can almost make our family live comfortably for several months." ”
