"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not wrong to doubt me at first. My adoptive father and I still have a relationship. Jin Yan is indeed a remnant of the Xia'an tribe. It's just that I am the illegitimate son of my father and a foreign singer. So my hair color is different from theirs. "Under the clear moonlight, Ning Xizui plucked a strand of hair in front of her forehead. The dazzling light golden color complemented the moonlight.
Illegitimate child... This is a despised status no matter what era. Not to mention the royal bloodline. Bai Qige was slightly surprised but kept her expression calm. She continued to listen to Ning Xizui's "story".
"When Xia'an fell, I didn't know my identity. I lived with my mother in a very dilapidated house until my adoptive father showed up and told my mother that he would take me away and make me the king of the surviving family of Xia'an. Later I listened. My mother followed my adoptive father as he traveled north and south, searching for Cheyenne survivors and gathering strength. But I have always been very undisciplined. I had no so-called goal of restoring the country in my heart. No matter what, it was my adoptive father who was doing it. In fact, when I was a child, My dream is to be a businessman and make a lot of money to treat my mother’s illness, buy new clothes, and build a big house. But when I really had money and returned to my hometown, all I found was a lonely grave.”
"Do you blame Senior Feng?"
Bai Qige blurted out and asked. When she realized that she was immersed in it, it was already too late.[
Ning Xizui was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled: "Miss Bai is finally willing to talk to me."
"Since you are also forced, we are more or less connected by the same fate." Bai Qige turned her head away from his clean eyes and said softly while looking at the rippling blue water of the lake.
It was already a great reward for Bai Qige to open her mouth. Ning Xizui did not expect anything extra. She shook her head and continued the topic: "My foster father is a loyal and upright man. He has sacrificed his whole life for Xia Anguo. He has no wife. .I have no children. I was raised by Buqi and Jinyan alone. Think about it carefully. My adoptive father has put in more effort for us than ordinary parents. It’s too late for me to be grateful. How can I blame my adoptive father." He bowed his head lightly. Flicking at the lake water, Ning Xizui's smile was filled with emotion: "Actually, if you want to trace the source, the whole thing is my fault. I know that I have a special life experience, but I still imagine that I can be an ordinary person. I always lie to myself that I can be a normal person. As 'Boss Ning', I have been my lifelong confidant with Miss Bai. In the end, I let Miss Bai down, and my adoptive father took the blame for me several times."
It seemed that Ning Xizui was trying to justify Fengjiang. Bai Qige originally felt unhappy, but when she thought about it, she suddenly felt relieved.
If Fengjiang is an old minister of the Xia'an Kingdom, then an old minister with loyalty tries every means to restore the country and educate the young prince. This kind of thing should not be blamed. It can only be said that his loyalty exceeds the level that ordinary people can understand. It is almost crazy. He even does not hesitate to do so. Ruin your own reputation and suffer infamy.
Sad and respectable. Praise and admiration.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige smiled bitterly and put down her long-tightened expression. She said with a sad tone: "Everyone is right. Everyone has a different position. If I were not the daughter of the Bai family, Chen Jing would not be the Prince of Dayao. And Ning The young master is not the Lord of Anling. None of this will happen. Since it has happened and there is no way to resist, then the only choice is to obey and accept it."
"What Miss Bai means..." Ning Xizui muttered for a while. There was surprise and confusion in her green eyes. "The marriage is acceptable."
The bitter smile that appeared just now disappeared in an instant. Under the moonlight, the scarred face lost its color. His thin body slowly curled up into a ball.
"This is the only thing I will never accept. Even if I marry Anling and become Mr. Ning's wife, the only husband I recognize is Chen Jing. It will not change in this life."
"Even if he hurts you, makes you sad, and brings you many dangers."
Bai Qige nodded and shook her head. Facing the moonlight, she faced the confused Ning Xizui. Her eyes were as calm as clear lake water. They were thorough and clear: "The person he wants to hurt is not me but the murderer of Princess Hongxiao." Yingge'. This scar is not a painful mark left by Chen Jing on me. It is a proof that he gave up his past hatred for me. Mr. Ning, Chen Jing is deeply infatuated with Princess Hongxiao. He even did not hesitate to send troops to conquer Zhao Kingdom. However, in the end, he still fulfilled the oath he made to Princess Hongxiao for me. Isn’t this enough to prove his heart? When his eyes saw my unique soul through this skin... From then on He will only love me and protect me, not harm as you say. Only I know this better than anyone else. Only he can be my destination."
As she spoke, Bai Qige's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, like an ordinary woman bathed in happiness. Ning Xizui was almost intoxicated by the sight.
After a long time, Ning Xizui regained his composure. He raised his hand and knocked on his forehead. He smiled softly and said, "Miss Bai, do you know that when you talk about the prince, it is when you smile most beautifully, Miss Bai?"
There was no need to blush or be shy. Facing Ning Xizui's slightly envious gaze, Bai Qige raised her face generously.
"Because I love him."
The breeze that came from nowhere blew across the lake, bringing a sense of moisture and coolness. Ning Xizui, who had just concentrated her attention, couldn't help but stare blankly. She gently lifted Bai Qige in the gentle and comfortable wind. Lower your jaw and look into those eyes that never seem to lose their light.
a long time.
"I like Miss Bai. I couldn't help myself when we first met. That's why I followed in Miss Bai's footsteps. Every time I see you sad because of the prince, I can't help but think about whether I should take you with me. leave."[
The slender arms went around behind him and hugged the jade-bone slender waist. With a slight exertion, the already extremely close distance shortened even further. The white face with its back to the moonlight came closer. The mysterious and deep eyes reflected the thin cheeks. Bai Qige could even hear it clearly. Breathing evenly, she could feel Ning Xizui's approaching temperature. However, the lips that spoke of love did not fall on her lips. Instead, they pressed softly, pityingly, and quietly between her eyebrows.
Such a gentle kiss. I don’t know how much love is hidden.
Bai Qige evaded and resisted. She couldn't explain the reason. She just had an intuition...
He could bring her many unexpected things, but Ning Xizui would never hurt her.
The kiss was light and indifferent. It was so brief that the water in the lake couldn't even recover its ripples. It was so silent that it didn't startle the sandbirds sleeping on the treetops. Only the two people whose shadows overlapped knew that there were so many things in this kiss. There were so many things that couldn't be explained in words. .
Let go of her hand. Ning Xizui took a big step back and let out a breath. The tips of her light golden hair were gently raised in the wind. She smiled like the bright moon.
"This relationship is about admiration. Ning just wants to be a lifelong confidant with Miss Bai. Together with the prince, he will protect Miss Bai from harm and live a happy life. Then, he will never regret it in this life."
Without waiting for Bai Qizui's reaction, Ning Xizui suddenly raised her little finger and put it in her mouth. A loud whistle broke through the night, causing a burst of noise in the Populus euphratica forest behind her. She looked over Ning Xizui's shoulder in confusion. Bai Qige was surprised to find that
A horse walked out of the bushes. What surprised her even more was that the person leading the horse was Su Jinyan.
Bai Qige's surprised expression had been expected by Ning Xizui. However, these sudden changes were not all. Facing the confused look, he took out a roll of brown paper from his sleeve. Ning Xizui raised his hand and handed it to her.
Going to Bai Qige: "It's a big day. I should give Miss Bai a decent gift."
The roll of paper felt vaguely familiar. When Bai Qige took it hesitantly, unfolded it and glanced at it. In the end, she couldn't keep calm and blurted out: "Contract..."
"Yes. The contract. The contract about the alliance between Zhaoguo and Anling and my marriage to Miss Bai. This is a gift for Miss Bai. Of course, if Miss Bai doesn't like it, you can burn it. Anyway, I
Just keep it and use it. Looking at it just makes you upset."
Recalling the Anling soldiers who were lying drunk on the ground, Bai Qige seemed to have guessed something. She frowned and looked at Ning Xizui: "You plan to carry Senior Feng behind your back..."
"Sooner or later, the adoptive father will know. Keep it a secret for now. Let's give him a 'surprise' then." Ning Xizui blinked at Bai Qige. The gloomy mood of the past few days was not at all. The bright smile that had disappeared for many days reappeared on his face.
. Turned around and took the reins of the horse and handed it to the singer Bai Qi. Ning Xizui hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know whether it was a joke or serious when she spoke: "Miss Bai, don’t think about it again. The restrained life in the palace may not be suitable for you."
"Maybe. The palace may not be as free as Monan. But there are people here that I miss." Bai Qige, who knew Ning Xizui's nature, didn't intend to talk nonsense. She shook her head and got on the horse neatly. She turned sideways and looked back.
Some of the elegance has been polished again, like an orchid that never thanks the fragrance.
In the past, when Bei Zheng was being chased by Yi Chenxuan's men, he was rescued by a poisonous doctor. Bai Qige deeply understood what it means to survive from a desperate situation. However, the joy of surviving a disaster is far less than this time. This is the time when mountains and rivers are restored, and things are bright and clear.
.
A sudden hope in despair.
Ning Xizui was reluctant to let her go so soon. But seeing Bai Qige's anxiety that she couldn't wait to be reunited with Yi Chen, her reluctance could only turn into reluctance. She hid her regrets and slight loss. She smiled and pointed far ahead: "Bai
Miss, have you seen that star? Keep walking in its direction. It will take about two hours to reach the ferry crossing. His Royal Highness is there."
Yi Chen is in Monan...
Bai Qige took a breath. She was a little surprised, but she felt it was reasonable.
He shouldn't leave a lot of responsibilities behind him and go to the enemy's territory. But he will definitely do it, right? He has promised that he will never leave her for the rest of her life... Even if she breaks her promise, he will still stick to it and wait.
This is the man she loves. Yi Chen.
Her eyes moved from Ning Xizui's indifferent smiling face to the vast night scene in front. Bai Qige took a deep breath. She held the reins tightly with both hands. She clamped the horse's belly with her feet and exerted a little force. The horse's neighing sound was heard for hundreds of miles. Its hooves were like the wind, leaving behind a gentle sound.
The whispers echoed back to the lakeside, leaving the man standing quietly with his hands hanging in silence for a long time.[
"I will always remember Mr. Ning's kindness and kindness in my heart. I hope that one day we will have the opportunity to sit together and have a good chat... In my heart, Mr. Ning will always be my constant confidant."
The sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away. The reverberations filled the quiet night sky. Not far away, in the corner where the Anling garrison soldiers were sleeping soundly, two figures looked into the distance with their hands behind their hands.
"Thanks to my adoptive father for helping me."
"You three worthless things... I will be pissed off by you sooner or later." He cursed angrily. The old man with frost-stained white temples turned his head and ignored the man beside him. He raised his hand and walked with dull steps towards the deeper night.
"color".
Behind him, the calm-faced man looked back quietly. He saw the old man's lonely and desolate back. His eyes showed a bit of tenderness.
