Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 175
Ruoxue hurriedly dodged, pouting her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, you are cheating." She rolled her eyes, picked up the snowball and threw it over like Ling Xihan.

"Okay, you dare to sneak attack me." Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows.

"Hmph, you were the one who sneaked up on me first." Ruoxue put her hands on her hips, pushing back unceremoniously.While talking, she threw two more snowballs, but she still turned to Ruoyu who came out and said, "Ruoyu, hurry up and help me, Miss, she is so amazing... Ouch..." She was careless and was caught Ling Xihan hit her forehead.

"Aha, little boy, fight with me." Ling Xihan smiled brightly and was very proud.

Ruoxue was not convinced, she used both hands.

"Miss, don't be too happy..."

Seeing that they were having fun, Ruoyu soon joined in.After a while, the laughter of three girls sounded in the front yard.

In the distance, Xiao Tingxuan was standing on the roof of the house in white clothes like snow, his clothes fluttering, blending into the sky full of snowflakes.He stared fixedly at the few people who were playing around, to be precise, at Ling Xihan.A soft light flashed across his eyes, and his thin lips lifted slightly.

She is really naughty!

Ling Xihan seemed to be aware of that gaze, she turned around, snowflakes were flying, the man was dressed in white like snow, with a painting-like face, looking at her with a smile on his eyes.A little bit of love flowed in the eyes, like a ray of morning sun, shining through the heavy mist to the bottom of her heart, dispelling the gloom of these days.

"Little..." Ruoyu raised her head and saw Ling Xihan standing still, following her gaze, she seemed to understand something.She pulled Ruoxue who was still kneading the snowball, and left quietly.

Ling Xihan didn't realize it, because at this moment, she only had eyes on the boy in white.She looked at him, and saw him flying towards her like a banished fairy from the Nine Heavens Xuanwai.Her watery eyes flickered in an instant, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised a beautiful arc.

step on -- step on -- step on --

Stepping on the thick snow and ice, Ling Xihan calmly looked into the distance, and glanced at Xiao Tingxuan beside him.

"How's Auntie?" She regretted the words as soon as she uttered them. Xiao Tingxuan said that when the Empress was sick, the Emperor would not allow him to approach him. How could she have forgotten?

Xiao Tingxuan's phoenix eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Ling Xihan knew the sad things that touched him, and was about to apologize, when suddenly a blue shadow fell out of nowhere, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Prince."

"What's going on?" Xiao Tingxuan asked Chi Lian with a serious face as his twilight glow settled.

"The queen's condition is getting worse, and Prince An has already entered the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tingxuan was about to leave, but Ling Xihan subconsciously pulled him back.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

A gust of wind flashed beside him, Xiao Tingxuan had already hugged her into his arms, swept across the roof like the wind, and disappeared in the direction of the palace in an instant.

Frost and snow fell on the cold branches, and a pair of soft forged embroidered shoes stopped beside the dead branches, looking in the direction of the palace, with deep pain across the eyes as calm as water.Beside her, a maidservant in a snow-green horse-face skirt and a green lotus-colored squirrel-skin coat looked at her.

"Miss, you..."

"Qingman." Ling Xiqing's eyes were clear, with a wry smile on her lips. "You said, am I stupid?" She will never forget that she accompanied her mother into the palace at the emperor's birthday banquet 13 years ago.Among the peach blossoms, the young man sitting quietly by the piano stand has picturesque features, a fairy-like appearance, phoenix eyes reaching deep into the sea, and a light smile like the light of the bright moon in Qinghai.With just one glance, she could never forget it.

Qingman's eyes showed distress, "Miss..." She knew what Miss was thinking, Miss had been in love with the prince for more than ten years, but now the prince...

Ling Xiqing closed her eyes, and opened them again, her eyes were as calm as water.

"Actually, I shouldn't expect too much. If not, I really have nothing to do with him anymore." Even if she is just one of his pawns now, even if he is just using her.But she doesn't care, at least she can stay by his side with another identity, doesn't she?

Qingman opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to persuade him.Tighten the silver fox light fur cloak for her, "Miss, it's snowing heavily here, this servant will help you back."

"En." The heavy snow quickly covered the figures of the two of them.

Xiao Tingxuan took Ling Xihan all the way straight to the palace, just arrived at Longyan Palace, before he could step in, he heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.Then came the queen's cold and weak scolding.

"Xiao Moli, why do you prohibit Xuan'er from seeing me?"

At the door, Xiao Tingxuan paused when he was about to step in, and tightened Ling Xihan's hand.Ling Xihan looked back at him, and saw that his snow-covered face became colder and more aloof, while his firm figure seemed lonely and fragile.Her heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle. It didn't hurt very much, but it penetrated deep into the blood and bones.

After a while of silence inside, the queen's slightly crying voice was heard again.

"Mo, Xuan'er...Xuan'er is innocent...Don't, don't hate him anymore..."

Xiao Tingxuan froze, pursed his lips, and grabbed Ling Xihan's hand again.Ling Xihan clearly noticed that his hands were trembling, and although his eyes were covered with thick snow, they still couldn't conceal the vicissitudes of life and sadness in his eyes.

In the inner hall, the queen was half-sitting on the bed, her hair was disheveled, her face was slightly pale, her hands were tightly clutching the collar of Emperor Yuan Qing, and there was pleading in her eyes.Emperor Yuan Qing held her waist with both hands, his eyes were complicated, and there was a strange glint in his eyes.Hearing his accusation and pleading, he suddenly rolled his eyes in grief.

"I'm sorry, Luo'er, I don't want to..." He clenched his fists, his body trembling, as if he was afraid of something.

On the side, Prince An, who was dressed in a stone-blue brocade robe with precious flowers and carved silk, stood quietly, his eyes glanced at the weak queen and Emperor Yuan Qing with an inexplicably sad face, and sighed softly.

"Brother Huang..." He was about to say something, but Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold, forcing his words that had just reached his throat to fall back into his stomach.

"Forget it, I'll go back first." He opened the bead curtain and strode out, seeing Xiao Tingxuan and Ling Xihan standing at the door, he was slightly taken aback.Looking back at the room, he patted Xiao Tingxuan's shoulder and walked away without saying anything.

Ling Xihan frowned, always feeling that Prince An seemed to know some secret.

In the inner hall, the queen withdrew from the embrace of Emperor Yuan Qing and leaned back.

"Hehehe...why have you been treating Xuan'er coldly all these years? Just because I gave birth prematurely? It wasn't his fault, why did you take your anger out on him?" The queen became agitated as she spoke, "He is your own son , do you know how sad and sad he will be when you treat him like this? He is also a human being, and he will also be heartbroken." The queen said tears falling again, her voice hoarse and weak.

"Mo, I beg you, don't do this again, okay? Have you forgotten? What did you say when I was pregnant with Xuan'er? You said you would love him very much, you said you would regard him as a Jewel. Have you forgotten?"
