Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 474: Disappointed (4)
"The water in Prince Rui's mansion is not deep, so what does it matter to me?" If she hadn't been weak now and would have left long ago, there would be no need to talk so much nonsense with him.

Xiao Minglan looked deeply, and suddenly said: "Did you quarrel with Xiao Tingxuan?"

As soon as Xiao Tingxuan was mentioned, Ling Xihan immediately screamed at him like a chicken with a shaved hair.

"I've said it before, don't mention his name in front of me." Her watery eyes were sparkling, but they contained deep anger, sadness, and almost unrecognizable pain.

Xiao Minglan felt pain in his heart, "Han'er." He stretched out his hand, trying to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, but Ling Xihan turned his head away.

"I want to be alone for a while."

Xiao Minglan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, trying to say something, but seeing her closed her eyes tiredly, her expression was indescribably lonely.His eyes dimmed, he turned and walked out.

In such a big room, only Ling Xihan was left quietly sitting by the window in a daze.As winter approaches, charcoal fires are already burning inside the house.The few sandalwood incenses released from the Cuojin Chi beast incense burner make people feel calm and peaceful, but her heart is always low and chaotic.

It's just a man, what's the big deal?Ling Xihan kept comforting herself like this in her heart.

The weather was getting colder, and Ling Xihan was sitting in the pavilion in a daze, wearing a rose-purple and red-bordered brocade gown and winter coat.This other courtyard is not big, but it is exquisite and elegant, with carved corridors, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions.

It's been a month, and she was going to leave, but Xiao Minglan kept her here.She thought, now that she ran out alone, she didn't want to see anyone at all, and she didn't want to go anywhere, so she might as well stay here.

Xiao Minglan's thoughts towards her were naturally clear to her, but when she woke up that day, she found that her clothes had been hot-changed.Needless to say, Xiao Minglan must have asked the maid to change it for her.In other words, Xiao Minglan already knew that the Shougongsha in her hand had disappeared, and she was no longer perfect.In this world where men are superior to women, etiquette is especially harsh on women.Women's chastity is greater than the sky.Even though Xiao Minglan knew that she was no longer innocent, she still refused to give up.Every night after she fell asleep, she would feel his deep and dazed gaze from the casement.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if Ling Xihan, who had passed away, knew how affectionate he was for her now, she would probably be overjoyed.

It's a pity that she is no longer the foolish Ling Xihan she was back then, and she no longer has the deep attachment to Xiao Minglan.Today, she has long been scarred by love, and she never wants to talk about love again.

She never doubted that Xiao Tingxuan had feelings for her.But, how heavy is this love?By now she wasn't sure.

At the beginning of the memory, the man was dressed in white like snow, with picturesque eyes, standing beside the crabapple tree, smiling slightly and flying towards her.Begonia flowers fell all over the ground, but they were not as graceful as him.

The moonlight is soft and silvery, and the viburnum is flying like a dream.His eyes were gentle and lingering, and a soft and lingering kiss was printed on her lips, as if it was yesterday.

In the shadow of sword, light and sword, he stood in front of her without hesitation, bearing that almost fatal palm for him...

Ling Xihan suddenly closed her eyes, how much of this is sincerity, how much is it calculated?She didn't want to pursue it, nor did she want to analyze it.She just felt tired, really tired, as if she had lost all her strength, she was tired, and she didn't have the energy to do anything, so she just stayed like this.

The cold wind blowing around her brought snowflakes down on the back of her hands, and the icy cold feeling made her open her eyes.There was a sudden warmth on her shoulders, and she was slightly startled.Raising his eyes, he met Xiao Minglan's gentle eyes, looking at him with concern.

"It's windy and snowy here, let's go back to the house."

She lowered her eyebrows, looked at the white fox fur cloak on her shoulders, lowered her eyelashes, and said nothing.

Xiao Minglan sighed and sat beside her, "The four major families in Wuyou City have been completely disintegrated by Ouyang Chen, but he did not give up in the battle in the misty forest that day. He is preparing troops and horses, and I am afraid that they will fight with each other soon." Let's go to war."

Ling Xihan's eyelashes trembled, but he still didn't speak.

Xiao Minglan looked at her with deep eyes.After hesitating for a while, he still said in a low voice: "He... has been looking for you all this time."

Ling Xihan froze, Xiao Minglan smiled wryly.

"He seems to know you're with me."

Ling Xihan pursed her lips, her gaze flickered like the bright moon behind the clouds.

Xiao Minglan's eyes dimmed, "I don't know what happened between you two." He paused, took Ling Xihan's shoulders, and looked at her seriously.

"Han'er, I want you to know that no matter what happens, you have to remember that I will always be waiting for you." His tone was soft but serious, and his eyes were also rarely persistent and firm.

Ling Xihan looked at him in a daze, and suddenly laughed.

"Will Prince Rui's Mansion accept an unclean woman?"

Xiao Minglan's eyes lit up, and the hand holding her shoulder tightened slightly.

"I do not care."

Another man who didn't care about her innocence.

Ling Xihan silently brushed his hand away, her tone as indifferent as smoke.

"But I care." She leaned against the railing, her tone flat, but also ruthless.

"Xiao Minglan, I told you, I don't love you. Don't waste your time on me, there will be no results." She looked at the fluttering white snow, her tone was calm but colder than the ice and snow.

"There are so many ladies from famous families in Kyoto, they are more suitable for the position of Prince Rui and Princess Rui." She curled her lips slightly, smiling a bit coldly.

"I'm not as good as you imagined. If I hadn't changed too much from the past, ask yourself, would you still like me?" Her eyes moved quietly, lightly, and fell deeply on Xiao Minglan's face, but her tone was a little bit serious.

"Your so-called love is just the obsession and impulsiveness of youth. When time passes, you will find that you don't like me at all. What you like is just the process of trying to pursue it. So instead of hurting others and yourself in the end , it’s better to let it go.”

"No, Han'er." Xiao Minglan looked at her in pain, "I am not impulsive or infatuated with you, but..."

"It doesn't matter what it is." Ling Xihan interrupted him indifferently, "You are a princely family with a bright future. Qualified to be a princess..."

Xiao Minglan suddenly hugged her into his arms tightly, as if he wanted to carve her into the bone marrow.Ling Xihan didn't struggle, her gaze was still indifferent, only to hear Xiao Minglan say hoarsely in her ear: "I know, I know all of this. If you don't like it, I will give up fame and fortune and go away with you. If you like doing business , I will follow you into the mortal world, and live an ordinary life until I grow old." His words were soft but firm, and they were clearly transmitted to Ling Xihan's ears.

Ling Xihan was startled, she was shocked that Luo Tianxiang was willing to abandon everything and take her away.Unexpectedly, Xiao Minglan was also willing to give up the title of prince and go far away for her?
It has to be said that even though Ling Xihan was naturally cold-blooded, Xiao Minglan's words touched her a bit.She sighed slightly.

"Why bother?"

Xiao Minglan let her go, his eyes were firm and affectionate.

"For you, I am willing."

Ling Xihan shook his head, "It's not worth it."

"It's worth it." Xiao Minglan looked resolute, "Han'er, glory, wealth, fame, fortune and vanity are nothing more than a fleeting thing to me. The only thing I care about is you."

Ling Xihan smiled wryly, with sad eyes.

"Xiao Minglan, why aren't you the one I fell in love with?" She looked quietly at the snowflakes flying outside the pavilion, and muttered to herself, "In this way, I won't be in such pain."

Xiao Minglan felt a pain in his heart, "Han'er."

Ling Xihan closed her eyes, "I'm tired." She stood up, and Xiao Minglan immediately went to help her, but she refused.

"I'm not that delicate."

Xiao Minglan paused, and watched her walk out of the gazebo, her figure was lonely and melancholy.His eyes were downcast, and the strong wind blew, but it couldn't blow away the deep loss in his heart.

The snow fell more and more, and the whole world seemed to be covered in white. Even the man in white standing on the roof seemed to be integrated into this glazed world of ice and snow.

He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the lonely figure of the woman walking in the snow, his eyes were filled with pain and pity.

"Brother Xuan." Xiao Qilan called out in a low voice, her gaze could not bear it.

"Why don't you go see sister Han?"

Xiao Tingxuan half closed his phoenix eyes and did not speak.Xiao Qilan was also silent, and after a long while, she finally said: "I'm going to the Liuli Palace..." She looked up, and saw Xiao Tingxuan was still standing in the wind and snow, his eyebrows, ears, ears and temples were covered with hoarfrost.

She gritted her teeth, then turned around and flew to the ground.Looking back, tears welled up in his eyes.

Brother Xuan, take care!

She took a deep breath, then tapped her toes, and disappeared in the vast white snow.

Winter nights are especially cold, even worse than last year.Even though the charcoal stove was burning in the house, Ling Xihan still felt cold.Perhaps, just cold hearted.She was lying on the bed, staring at the lavender gauze above her head in a daze.This month, she spent most of her time staring at a certain place or a certain object in a daze, and then spent the whole day in a daze.She doesn't know what's wrong with herself, it's just a broken relationship, it's just a layer of film missing, so it's just a blow to her that much?

The corners of her lips curled up in self-deprecating, Ling Xihan, you are so cowardly.

It was late at night, and she closed her eyes.The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the branches shook off the snow and frost.

After a long time, the familiar melodious and sad flute sound floated from the distant sky, like gurgling water, across the heart.Her closed eyes and eyelashes trembled slightly, but Ya Jing did not open them.After an unknown amount of time, she slowly fell asleep accompanied by the sound of the flute.

A slender figure approached slowly, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her sleeping face, he couldn't help stretching out his fingers, his cold fingertips slid across her creamy skin, leaving traces of warmth.The man Ruo Qinghong's phoenix eyes seemed to be stained with white mist. Thinking of that bloody night, she looked like she was sleeping after being drunk.He couldn't help smiling slightly, but after a while, he felt dejected again.

Han'er, are you still blaming me?
He lowered his head, and a deep sadness spread all over his body.

Xiao Tingxuan didn't leave quietly until the sky was about to dawn.

Ling Xihan also opened his eyes at this time, staring at the closed window.She knew, she had noticed it since a month ago.Every night when she was about to fall asleep, there would be a beautiful and sad sound of flute.Then someone would sit quietly by her bed until dawn.

She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, it was completely bright, and the snow that had fallen all night gradually stopped.
