Chapter 24: Origins

Xu Qingan looked at his mother and Zhao Shiyin with a bitter face and said, "I said you don't go around the bend with me, my brain is not enough!" ”

Zhao Shiyin looked at Xu Qing'an's somewhat confused appearance, and said with a smile: "Ten years have passed, why are you still so stupid!" ”

Concubine Su also said with a hopeless face: "No way, this stupid boy has been like this since he was a child!" ”

Then Xu Qingan listened to Concubine Su talk about the fate between him and Zhao Shiyin, which is actually a miniature version of the story of a hero saving beauty.

Probably when Xu Qing'an was seven years old, Zhao Shiyin was only six years old, because Zhao Shiyin's aunt was the mother concubine of Zhao King Xu Yuan, and Zhao Yue, the king of Jing'an, led the army in Xiliang to resist the Turkic invasion, so he stayed in Chang'an.

In the winter when Zhao Shiyin was six years old, because the New Year was approaching, Princess Zhao summoned Princess Jing'an and Zhao Shiyin into the palace to prepare for the New Year together.

The winter was cold, and it was snowing heavily, and the pool where Zhao Shiyin was located was relatively remote, fortunately I met Xu Qing'an, who was also playful, was playing birds, and after hearing the sound of falling water, he hurriedly took two little eunuchs to rescue Zhao Shiyin.

Later, because Zhao Shiyin was frightened and had a cold, she lived in the Shujiao Hall of Xu Qing'an's mother, and Princess Jing'an also lived in the palace together because she was worried about Zhao Shiyin.

Later, Zhao Shiyin gradually got better, Princess Jing'an and Concubine Su became good sisters, and Xu Qingan and Zhao Shiyin became childhood playmates!

It's just that this situation lasted for a year, and Zhao Yue, the king of Jing'an, broke the Turks in the land of Xiliang, and repelled the Turks for hundreds of miles in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yue was also awarded the title of King of Jing'an by Emperor Xia because of his military exploits, and then he took Princess Jing'an and Zhao Shiyin to Xiliang.

This walk is ten years, and now Zhao Shiyin is sixteen years old, Xu Qingan is also seventeen years old, and he will be crowned king in another year.

"So that's the case, then if you say that, wouldn't I be your savior?" Xu Qingan said jokingly.

Zhao Shiyin's delicate and fair little face raised a smile, looked at Xu Qingan and said, "Yes, you are my savior, how can I repay you?" Or do you want to make a promise? ”

Xu Qingan chuckled, and was about to tease, but found that there was no hint of joke in Zhao Shiyin's bright eyes, which was very serious!

That serious appearance made Xu Qingan couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, what he did in his predecessor, but he didn't expect the last emotion to be poured into him.

Xu Qingan shook his head and said, "This is not suitable, not suitable!" ”

It's just that no one noticed it, and when they heard Xu Qing'an refuse, the light in Zhao Shiyin's eyes dimmed slightly.

But soon, Zhao Shiyin smiled and said: "Just kidding, I don't want to marry you, I like to stay by Aunt Su's side, if it weren't for Aunt Su, I would have forgotten you a long time ago!" ”

After that, Zhao Shiyin hugged Concubine Su's arm and lied coquettishly!

"You, I like to joke with Qing'an, I have always treated you as a daughter, even if you don't come together, I also treat you as a daughter, if you want to come in the future, just come and see more, anyway, I am very idle in this palace!" Concubine Su laughed.

Xu Qing'an looked at his mother at this time and said, "Mother, just now my father said that I will come to Shujiao Hall for dinner tonight!" ”

Concubine Su's hand trembled slightly, and she looked at Xu Qingan with some astonishment: "What did you just say?" ”

Xu Qing'an looked at Concubine Su with some disbelief, and suddenly his heart was slightly sour, when he was in the palace, because his father favored his mother alone, the other concubines in the harem, including the queen, were a little jealous.

In private, on the surface, there are faint small actions against Concubine Su, even if these small actions are not a big deal, but they are disgusting, Emperor Xia has always ignored the affairs of the harem, which also leads to the queen and the two concubines often join forces to suppress the Shujiao Palace, either there are fewer maids and eunuchs in the palace, or some maids who are not good at work.

Xu Qingan's mother is a woman with a quiet personality, so naturally she will not bother with them.

Queen Xia came to know these things, but it was not easy to punish the queen and the two concubines, so she had to reduce the number of times she came to Shujiao Palace.

Today's Xia Huang's health is also not as good as before, and he is also dedicated to government affairs, and the number of times he comes to Shujiao Hall and even the harem is very rare.

Now when Concubine Su heard the news from Xu Qing'an's mouth that Emperor Xia was coming to Shujiao Hall for dinner, she was always a little happy in her heart!

"Xiaoyun, Xiaolan, the two of you go to the imperial dining room to prepare some of His Majesty's favorite dishes, Your Majesty likes to eat the osmanthus cake made by the concubine the most, the imperial dining room, no, let's go to the palace in person!" Concubine Su commanded as she was about to stand up.

Xu Qingan hurriedly grabbed his mother and said, "My father is here to eat, my mother doesn't have to be like this!" ”

Concubine Su patted Xu Qingan twice and said, "You child, Your Majesty is coming to eat, so naturally you are here to rest, and the mother concubine will take care of everything, isn't it more comfortable for Your Majesty to come?" Okay, you can talk to Shiyin here, and the concubine will come when she goes! ”

After that, Concubine Su took the maid and walked towards the outside of the hall.

In the entire Shujiao Palace, there are only Xu Qingan and Zhao Shiyin left, it turned out to be okay, but now that I know that the two of them had such a story before, Xu Qingan felt a little embarrassed no matter how he stayed.

Seeing Xu Qing'an's somewhat cramped and uneasy appearance, Zhao Shiyin's cute little mouth muttered slightly: "When I saw Brother Qing'an in Zizhuxuan before, didn't you still say that I should call your brother?" At that time, you were still personable and funny, but now why don't you talk when you see me? ”

Xu Qing'an laughed twice and said: "It's not that I didn't expect that we met so early, and I haven't reacted for a while, you still call me Brother Jiu, the title of Brother Qing'an sounds weird!" ”

Zhao Shiyin propped her hands on the table, and said with her two small hands on her pretty face: "I haven't seen you for ten years, Chang'an has changed a lot, and your changes are even greater!" ”

"I always feel a little dreamy, as if you are not the Qing'an brother you used to be!" Zhao Shiyin looked at Xu Qing'an and said.

Xu Qing'an was suddenly shocked in his heart, speaking of which, he really wasn't the original Xu Qing'an.

Xu Qingzhuang smiled lightly: "In ten years, it is normal for people to have some changes!" ”

Zhao Shiyin seemed to agree with this point of view, nodded and said: "This is also true, the previous brother Qing'an was cheerful and had a degree of advance and retreat, but now the brother Qing'an has become a little!" ”

When the words fell, the tea that Xu Qingan had just drunk was all squirted out.

"Ahem, you, what did you say?" Xu Qingan looked at Zhao Shiyin in surprise and asked.

Zhao Shiyin pursed her lips and said, "Do you still think I'm a child?" Tell me what happened to you and my cousin? ”

"Dig a slot!" Xu Qing'an was shocked, and suddenly burst into a foul mouth!
