You are as gentle and cool as the moon

In the past half month, apart from bathing and sleeping, Xia Luoning was almost by An Qingling's side to study and play with her, and occasionally ate and played music together.

She is a more enthusiastic and lively girl, good at talking with people, and often makes some mischievous words, which seems less restrained and more bold.

Xia Luoning admires her kind of girl from the bottom of her heart, not only likes to associate with her, but also feels that she is very similar to dear Lin.

Especially her voice, it is really like Lin Qin's voice after shedding her immaturity and milkiness.

Perhaps because of getting along for a long time, she chatted with Xia Luoning for longer and longer, and the topics became more and more extensive. Even marriage matters and personal relationships between men and women were willing to discuss with Xia Luoning.

Because of this, Xia Luoning understood what kind of character the strange woman who brought her home was.

Her father, Antony, and his married wife had two sons, the eldest son died, and the original wife died of dystocia when the second son was born.He married An Qingling's mother, Xiao Daxi, as his successor, and later took concubines and gave birth to a couple of children.

The family of seven gets along fairly well.

Although An Qingling and his second elder brother An Bulie are close in age, they seldom see each other on weekdays.She didn't dislike fourth brother and fifth sister, and she was not interested in cultivating feelings with Sanniang.

In the mansion during the day, she only interacted with her parents, Qiu Qiu and Tong Dong.

But she has a childhood friend who she has known since she was a child and is very speculative. The other party's name is Xiao Wenzhu, who is the daughter of the Pirate King.

The Pirate King and Xiao Daxi are old acquaintances, and they have no conflicts with the Zhao family's royal family, and they rarely bring people to offend the people of Huaguo, so people here don't hate or fear pirates very much.

In addition, An Qingling was betrothed by the emperor and her father in Jiji's year, and she was asked to marry the fifth prince as his concubine.

The fifth prince's name is Zhao Yize, he is a gentle, pure, cheerful and forthright man.He is capable of both literary and military skills, and treats people with courtesy, so he is very popular.

What's rare is that he likes An Qingling very much, even though he is romantic and affectionate, he keeps himself clean, and he never asks for flowers.

An Qingling likes playing ball, cuju, hunting, throwing pots, and catching fish with him, and often disguises herself as a man and sneaks into certain places with him to open her eyes.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a couple made in heaven, which is very enviable.

Xia Luoning has not experienced the feeling of being in love with others, so she sincerely asked her some topics about love.

An Qingling shook his head and said, "My feelings for the Fifth Prince are not what you think."

Xia Luoning didn't understand: "Aren't you willing to marry him?"

"It's a marriage bestowed by the imperial decree. When I get it, I will decide whether I want it or not." An Qingling explained, "Both father and mother like the fifth prince, and he likes me. If I have to marry someone, of course I want to fly The branch becomes a phoenix."

Xia Luoning: "Will the emperor be the fifth prince in the future?"

An Qingling did not answer this question.

Xia Luoning: "Master, why didn't you bring An Ning with you on your two dates with the Fifth Prince?"

An Qingling: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Xia Luoning: "..."

An Qingling curled his lips: "The lie is that the places I go with him are not suitable for blind people, and you can't ride a horse alone, so I don't want to bring you this little trouble."

"The truth is that I'm afraid he will be seduced by you, and even you will live in his house."

Xia Luoning said lightly: "Master is thoughtful, but An Ning is careless."

A few days later, the pirate king's daughter went straight to Huacheng under the escort of the court officers and soldiers, and was going to stay in Da Sima Mansion for a while.

Xia Luoning was not sure whether the person she was fighting with on the cliff that day was Xiao Wenzhu, and was a little worried that the other party would recognize her true identity.

But for a while, she couldn't easily leave Huacheng and return to Xia Kingdom, so she could only play by ear.

So today, as soon as she woke up, she told Qiu Qiu that she was sick and wanted to ask for leave to avoid infecting An Qingling.

Qiu Qiu promised her that he would tell An Qingling.

When Xia Luoning passed the open space in front of the courtyard on the way back to her room, she easily caught a peach that was thrown towards her.

Then came three or four more.

Xia Luoning asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, are you Miss San?"

An Qingling flew down from the branch and asked curiously, "How did you guess it was me?"

"I vaguely smell the unique fragrance of your body, and I also have some understanding of your skills."

"Yo, it's really amazing."

An Qingling asked in a good mood: "You deliberately get to know everything about me as soon as possible, what do you want to gain?"

Xia Luoning explained: "The villain just abides by his duties and dare not slack off, hoping to do his best to help the master when he needs it."

"Your mouth has become sweeter." An Qingling pressed her shoulders and pushed her to the tree trunk, "Your kung fu is very good, and your sword skills are not like the traditional ones in your country."

"Tell me, where did you come from as a spy? What do you want to sneak into Huacheng and come home with me?"

Xia Luoning said sincerely: "Master, An Ning really wants to recover her memory and return to her hometown, but An Ning has absolutely no dissent towards you, and she has never done anything to harm Hua Guo."

"How do I trust you?" An Qingling approached her playfully.

Xia Luoning resisted the urge to raise her hand to push her away, and asked, "How can Master trust An Ning?"

"Well...I haven't figured it out yet." An Qingling let her go.

Xia Luoning hurriedly said: "Master, An Ning has typhoid fever, please allow me..."

"You're not sick, I know." An Qingling lied, "I've studied medicine, and I just took your pulse and temperature to make sure you're healthy."

Xia Luoning argued: "Master, An Ning did not lie to you."

"Whether you lied to me or not, I have the final say." An Qingling took her by the wrist and led her out of the west wing.

Xia Luoning was a little uneasy: "Master, where are you taking An Ning? Didn't you say last night that you would go to the city gate to meet Miss Xiao in the morning?"

"I stayed in bed today, so I had no choice but to welcome her at the door." An Qingling let go of her hand, "Follow me to pick her up there, don't be lazy."

"...Yes." Xia Luoning came to the main gate of An Mansion and stood side by side with An Qingling.

"Master, have you ever sailed with Miss Xiao?"

"I've been to sea, what's the matter?"

"An Ning has never been adrift at sea, so she is a little curious."

"How do you know that you haven't been out at sea?"

Xia Luoning: "...Intuition."

An Qingling sneered silently, and saw the approaching people from a distance.She walked over quickly and smiled silly at a young woman in the front.

"bamboo!"

"An Ling!"

Xiao Wenzhu speeded up his horse and came over, dismounted and hugged her: "You annoying little fairy, you miss me so much!"

An Qingling pushed her away with a smile on her face: "You look stronger than the last time we met, you must not miss me thinking about eating and drinking!"

"No, it's because I'm worried about you that I'm so anxious that I have a big appetite!" Xiao Wenzhu changed his words, "No, I didn't gain weight, it's exactly the same as last month!"

A sedan chair landed near the two of them.

An Qingling asked curiously, "Why is there a sedan chair behind?"

Xiao Wenzhu leaned close to her ear and said something.

An Qingling lost her smile, turned around and pointed at Xia Luoning and whispered to Xiao Wenzhu.

Xiao Wenzhu also lost his smile, and immediately took her away from the crowd and whispered.

It took a long time before the two of them reached a consensus and were willing to cooperate with each other's performance.

An Qingling ordered: "Come here, arrange Miss Xiao's team and notify the kitchen to prepare the dishes!"

"Yes!" The housekeeper of An Mansion took several servants and maidservants over to settle the daily life of the pirates.

Xia Luoning bowed her head humbly when she heard the footsteps of the two girls approaching her eyes.

An Qingling introduced: "Zhuzi, she is a slave I brought from the wild to serve. She is called An Ning."

"It's a pity that you are so beautiful but you are blind." Xiao Wenzhu observed Xia Luoning carefully.

Xia Luoning was a little worried that she was the one who fought that day, but she had no choice but to take the initiative to greet her: "An Ning met Miss Xiao."

"You're polite." Xiao Wenzhu waved to the little girl who had just stepped out of the sedan chair.

The little girl has a pair of brown eyes, and her skin is a little darker than ordinary people. She has a well-defined outline and exquisite facial features. On her head, there are two naturally curly flaxen braids, and she is wearing a light yellow local dress. She looks very Well-behaved and docile.

She walked over gently, looked at An Qingling and Xia Luoning with warm eyes.

Xiao Wenzhu introduced: "She is the little sister I picked up from the seaside, I recognize her as my eldest niece, her family name is Jia, and I call her Xiao Jiale."

An Qingling said with a smile: "Why do you want to have a niece at such a young age?"

"I'm happy!" Xiao Wenzhu said to the little girl, "Be obedient and don't run around, you know?"

Xiao Jiale nodded.

"Let's go." An Qingling and Xiao Wenzhu walked into the mansion side by side, chatting about many irrelevant topics along the way.

Xia Luoning and Xiao Jiale followed behind them and asked friendlyly, "Miss Xiao, how old are you?"

Xiao Jiale glanced at her pupils again, and said flatly, "I'm 14 and a half years old."

She added: "Because of my family background, I was born late and now I look like a child under 12 years old."

Xia Luoning: "Your family?"

Xiao Jiale did not say a word.

Xia Luoning tilted her head to feel it, and said, "A 12-year-old girl should be quite cute."

Xiao Jiale asked lightly: "Did you become blind recently?"

"Why do you think so?"

Xiao Jiale hesitated to speak: "I guess."

"Then you guessed it right, I accidentally went blind more than half a month ago." Xia Luoning listened carefully, but never got any response from others.

She couldn't help laughing at herself, just now she expected Xiao Jiale to cure her eye disease.
