The black belly prince falls from the sky and the cute concubine

Chapter 405 The truth, the assassin strikes (2)
"At that time, I was ten years old, and I was the eldest son of my family. My family has been officials for generations, and I was raised as a future successor. In my opinion, it is my destiny to learn those things. As it should be."

However, all of this began when Han Xiran's biological mother gave birth to a younger sister for him, and a huge change took place.

The younger sister, who is ten years younger than him, has always liked to pester Han Xiran and follow him no matter where he is.Especially after the age of three, almost every day behind his buttocks, screaming "Brother Xi, wait for me..."

At that time, Han Xiran liked this younger sister very much. He almost treated her like a baby and pampered her all day long.She likes to follow him, so he let her follow him, protecting her every step of the way.

That little sister is also extremely cute, extremely tender and lovable, with a small and sweet mouth, which always makes Han Xiran fall in love with her, and spends all day with her, taking her to play, even Forget about his studies.

This dissatisfied his father, the Minister of the Imperial Court at that time, who kept scolding Han Xiran for "playing things and losing his ambition", forcing Han Xiran to study and attend classes, and forbidding him to play with his little sister all day long.

Han Xiran could accept adults' ideas, he had received that kind of education since he was a child, so he didn't resist.But the little girl, who was only four years old at the time, was crying and begging for her brother.

Han Xiran felt sorry for his sister, so he told his mother to ask him to accompany his sister after class every day, and take her to play when he was free.The mother naturally agreed, and the younger sister stopped crying when she heard that she could see her brother again.Just because Han Xiran was not around, she lost all interest and lost a lot of weight.

This made Han Xiran very distressed. Every time he went to see his sister, he would bring her a lot of delicious and fun things.

Finally, when Han Xiran was 16 years old, he rarely got permission from his family to bring his cute little girl into the palace to play.While playing in the palace, I met Xia Jingxi, who was only two years old, playing by the lake. I don’t know where her nanny and palace maids are. fell into the lake.

Han Xiran didn't care too much, and immediately said to his sister, "You wait here for brother, and brother will bring the little sister here."

At that time, Han Xiran's younger sister was already six years old and sensible, so when she heard Han Xiran's words, she naturally nodded obediently.

So Han Xiran went to rescue Xia Jingxi, leaving her sister alone.

But this move also made Han Xiran feel guilty all his life, and regretted his actions so far.

Originally, it was only a few steps away, but he saved Xia Jingxi, and when he came back immediately, he could continue to play with his sister.But Xia Jingxi was disobedient and had to make trouble by the lake. Han Xiran took a lot of effort to bring Xia Jingxi away from the lake safely, and was planning to take her sister to the Queen's Palace to send Xia Jingxi back.

However, the moment he turned his head, what he saw was a snake hidden in the grass biting his sister's calf.

"At that moment, I felt that it was getting dark. I didn't expect that she would leave me completely after I left her for less than a quarter of an hour..." Han Xiran closed his eyes, and on that warm face, there was no The smiles of the past were filled with boundless sadness and remorse.

It was only then that Shangguan Qing'er realized that the moment of astonishment and stupefaction he felt when he heard him calling him Brother Xi was not because of her closeness, but because of her name.Only then did she know that there was such a relationship between Han Xiran and Xia Jingxi.

But, this can't be the reason why he hates Xia Jingxi, right?

Han Xiran seemed to see Shangguan Qinger's doubts, and smiled wryly, "I hated Princess Jiu very much at the time. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have lost my beloved sister. I blame her for showing up at this time. I blame her. Why did you let me see it. But she is a child after all, she is only two years old, what does she know? She doesn't understand anything, so she is not wrong, I hate myself, I am not able to protect my sister, I feel guilty , blame yourself, but did not have any other thoughts about the nine princesses."

"Hmm..." Shangguan Qing'er believed in Han Xiran, he was that kind of person, no matter how painful he was, he would never take his anger out on a child.

Han Xiran lowered her head, her eyes were a little more confused, "I lost my sister, I was depressed for a long time, and finally found my strength to fight, so I started to work hard, got the first prize in the imperial examination, and slowly started as a small official, Sitting on the seat of the head of the hundred officials..."

Not only did Han Xiran not vent his anger on Xia Jingxi, but because of the loss of his sister, he loved Xia Jingxi more and more.Facing Xia Jingxi, he would think of the dead sister, and he felt guilty but more importantly, he cherished the person in front of him.

It can be said that Xia Jingxi was bought by his sister with her life. He hoped that she could replace his sister and live a good life.

Xia Jingxi, who was growing up slowly, didn't know what happened when she was a child, so she readily accepted Han Xiran's gentleness, and gradually fell in love with Han Xiran.Han Xiran was very happy to see Xia Jingxi getting close to him, but he also knew that Xia Jingxi was not his sister, so he kept a distance.

As Xia Jingxi grew up slowly, her love for him became more and more obvious, and Han Xiran was delighted to feel her love.However, he was very aware of his identity and the age gap, so he began to alienate Xia Jingxi.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jingxi was actually a stubborn one, and the first thing she did after getting married was to ask the queen to marry him.At the moment when he heard the news, Han Xiran's mood was complicated. He was very happy about Xia Jingxi's true love for him, but he felt helpless that he was not good enough for her.

And he knew that even if he wanted to, the Queen and Emperor Zhaojin would not nod.Xia Jingxi is the only daughter of the empress, and if she wants to marry, it is right to marry a young and handsome man of good family. He is no longer young, and they are not suitable.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the queen rejected Xia Jingxi's request without saying a word. Not only did she reject Xia Jingxi, she even said something in Emperor Zhaojin's ear, which made Emperor Zhaojin start to care about Han Xiran's lifelong affairs.

Han Xiran hasn't married all these years. It's not that he doesn't want to marry a wife, it's just that he hasn't found a suitable one. But given his age, no matter how reluctant he is, he can't stop marrying forever.If it weren't for Xia Jingxi, maybe he could still fool Emperor Zhaojin and Xia Guo's courtiers, but because of Xia Jingxi's matter, it became a bit difficult for Han Xiran to refuse.

Holding the idea that being able to hide once is only once, Han Xiran rejected Emperor Zhaojin's request, told Emperor Zhaojin that if he needed it, he would find it himself, and promised to get married within two years.

Emperor Zhaojin couldn't push Han Xiran into a hurry, so he agreed.
