The weather is getting cooler, and the fog of the early morning has not completely dissipated. The palace became more and more humid under the rain last night. The flowers and leaves in the courtyard seemed to have been blown off overnight, and the prince's favorite osmanthus tree was also exposed, and the fragrant petals were scattered all over the ground.

After returning to the palace for a few days, except for returning to the emperor as soon as I came back, I didn't even go to Taixue, and lived in the palace all day long. Xia Lingran sent someone over to urge me a few times, but I refused because I was weak and still needed to recuperate, and after repeating it a few times, it was gone. He has been on an important business recently, and in the end, he only asked people to send me a few questions about the national life and democracy movement for me to study by myself. I'm glad he didn't come in person anymore, and it must have been a good thing for him to come. As for the messy homework, it has long been thrown into a corner.

At this time, the air is meager and slightly cool, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, wafting around. I sat alone at my desk by the window, my eyes blankly looking out the window at the lonely laurel tree. Kowako slowly grinds ink on the side. Wu Yu went to Shen Laihan to prepare a few gentle prescriptions. Yuxue and willows had been sent back to their hometowns as early as when I left the palace.

The two of them were originally Shui Qingwei's subordinates, and they were secretly sent into the palace by Shui Qingwei ten years ago to take care of me, and now that the task has been completed, I asked them to leave this place as soon as possible. A long time ago, I expected that Shui Qingwei would definitely have other arrangements for people in the palace. can let the prince's personal palace maid Yuxue Yang Liu and the two leave the palace safely, and they know that he has a lot of power in the palace.

Now, I don't have anything to worry about except for a stupid Kowako who only knows how to be loyal to me. Wu Yu and Shen Laihan are another matter, they are clever in their methods, how can there be any danger.

I'm only worried about what I'll do when I'm out of the palace, Kozuko.

Turning his head sideways, he looked at Kowako's still childish round face, and was seriously grinding his eyes. Seeing that I was staring at him, he looked up suspiciously and asked, "Your Highness, why do you look so preoccupied?

I closed my eyes and replied, "No, it's nothing. Xiao Hezi, Your Highness will ask you a question now, and you will answer it after you think about it, don't fool Your Highness. ”

Xiao Hezi hurriedly put down the Xuan Mo in his hand, opened his round eyes, and became even more puzzled: "If Your Highness has any questions, just ask, Xiao Hezi knows everything, and he has no end to it." It's just that Your Highness, you are suddenly a little serious, and Kowako is really a little unaccustomed. ”

I smiled slightly, this little fool actually learned the sentence "know everything, say everything", and he is really a smart and sensitive plastic material.

Straightening up, I asked solemnly, "If Your Highness wants to give you away or out of the palace now, are you willing?"

Hearing me say this, Xiao Hezi was startled, knelt down in a panic, kowtowed and replied: "Your Highness, did Xiao Hezi do something wrong? Liaoting Palace is Xiao Hezi's home, and if you let the slave go, you want the slave's life. As he spoke, he wept in a low voice.

Under my long-term education, Xiao Kazuko has long forgotten the word "slave", and today he is in a hurry to say it, you can see how flustered he is in his heart.

I also panicked in my heart, for so long, I have been spoiling Xiao Kazuko as a child, and now I want him to go, and I am reluctant to let him go.

Getting up with some difficulty, I helped him up and whispered, "Stupid, how could His Highness drive you away." It's just that it is not safe around His Highness now, and it will be dangerous to follow His Highness. It's for your own good to let you go. ”

"No, Kowako said that she wouldn't leave. Xiao Hezi's life was saved by His Royal Highness, and in this life, Xiao Hezi was born as His Highness's person, and died as His Highness's ghost. Xiao Hezi raised his head, his eyes were hazy with tears, but his face was full of determination.

Back then, Xiao Kazuko was sent to the palace as a eunuch by her poor parents when she was less than seven years old. Young and unsupported, he was oppressed by other psychopathic eunuchs all day long. One day, I wandered around the palace and saw that he was tied to a tree trunk by seven or eight eunuchs and beaten badly, because he had not eaten for two days, he secretly hid half of the steamed buns he had picked up on the ground, and disobeyed the order of the great eunuchs to fast for three days. At that time, I happened to have two months of confinement at the end of my time, and I was worried that I could not find anyone to oppress after regaining my freedom, and when I saw this situation, I naturally beat the eunuchs to the point where they had only half their lives. Seeing that they didn't have the courage to take in this poor little worm again, I took the little eunuch back to the palace as a memorial of the bad things I did that day.

Thinking about it now, I just feel that the past and the present are incomparable. I touched his head lovingly, and said sadly, "Silly boy, why do you bother? What's so good about staying here. ”

When Xiao Hezi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down again, hugged my leg tightly, and choked up: "Your Highness, although the slave is stupid, he also knows that something must happen in the Liaoting Palace. Sister Yuxue and Sister Yang Liu are gone, if even the minions leave, it will definitely make people suspicious. Let the minions take care of you. The servants must advance and retreat with His Highness. Besides, His Royal Highness will definitely protect Kowako well. ”

Hearing Kowako's sincere words, it is impossible not to be moved. In this world, there are few people who can treat me as sincerely as he does.

Seeing that I was about to speak again, Xiao Hezi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you let me leave your side, Xiao Hezi will never survive." Kowako does what she says. ”

When I heard this, I was angry and funny, patted him on the head, and scolded with a straight face: "You bastard, who taught you to threaten others with your life." The good ones don't learn, you specialize in the bad ones. ”

Seeing that I softened my tone, Xiao Hezi smiled and said, "It's not your Highness yet, every time you use this trick, you can't do anything about it." ”

"You- forget it. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether you live or die, I don't care about you. "I blushed as if I hadn't heard anything.

While scolding, he secretly made a decision in his heart, no matter what, he must protect Xiaohezi and not let him be hurt at all, no matter how much it costs.

When Kowako saw me scolding again, she let go of my trouser legs and got up while laughing and wiping tears.

I looked down and saw that the silk forging on the top of my pants was already wet, and I don't know if it was stained with tears in his eyes or sweat in his palms.

Seeing this, I was angry and flicked his head with my hand, and scolded a few words in my mouth. Xiao Hezi looked like she was scolded on weekdays, and she looked so unhappy.

He pulled out a big smile and said happily: "Your Highness, Xiao Hezi is now going to prepare the clothes for you to wear for the afternoon departure." The ink is polished, and you move on with your masterpiece. After saying that, the round leg trotted out neatly.

My eyes were on the desk—ink, full of inkstones. I have a few black lines in my head.

This kid is really confused, didn't I say that as long as you sign it, you can use so much ink in three words? Hmph, he must have been in a daze when he was grinding ink just now, otherwise when would I have seen him serious.

Who the hell did this kid learn this kind of? I'm angry.

Angrily writing my name on an invitation, I stopped pondering.

Yesterday, the eldest prince Mo Dongyan sent someone to send this invitation, saying that he would carry out hunting activities in the royal hunting ground this afternoon. When the invitation came, I happened to be so collapsed that I didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, so I was going to put it aside and not answer.

Who knows, I drank a bowl of perfect tonic soup boiled by Wu Xian last night, and my spirit is obviously much better today. Early in the morning, I heard the gossip that Kowako brought from elsewhere, and King Gon of today's hunting activity will also participate.

Don't go, don't go, I bit the pen and tilted my head and thought.

Although I don't have much to do with Mo Dongyan, after all, he is one of the few people in the palace who doesn't give me a bad look. Even though he didn't have a lot of face, he hummed. I ate and smiled, and this was the one that made me feel balanced.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel jealous again, this reckless man, after a battle, he still has such good physical strength to hunt after driving thousands of miles. On the other hand, I don't even have the strength to put on a dress.

It's simply - jealousy. No, it's jealousy. Hum. God, I don't hold out any hope for you.

Besides, King Gon. Hmph. It is said that this person is rarely willing to appreciate his face and appear once, and it is a waste not to see this person.

I haven't been out much these days, and my bones are almost moldy. It's a good idea to exercise. Men, life is about movement.

What's more, I have a hunch that this afternoon's hunting event must be very interesting, and maybe there will be a good show to watch. A weird smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.
