Dadu in the Wind (9)
So, the next day, everyone knew that the little prince followed Calm and went to the kitchen together, and stayed there for a long time before coming out.
Everyone is talking about this matter, after all, it is very common for women to cook and men not cook in ordinary people's homes, not to mention that the object is the prince now.
Soon, even the ministers in the palace began to talk about it.
In the early days of the dynasty, the king of the Huns sat down on the throne, and someone brought up this matter: "Lord, this calm, as a slave, should stay in the slave garden and live with other slaves. Now that the prince is in good health, she should also go back to where she should be. Otherwise, it will be ...... out."
At this time, the military advisor stood up again, he was holding a jade pendant in his hand, obviously a pair with the one he threw to calm that day, he said unhurriedly while playing with the jade pendant, "Your Excellency Prime Minister is not in a hurry, although she is a slave and maid, but after all, she has been with the little prince for at least ten years, why no one cared about the difference between men and women, master and servant before, but now it is brought up." ”
"This ......"
The prime minister didn't know what to say for a while, but he refused to retreat, standing in the middle of the hall in a dilemma.
I couldn't think of any explanation, so I repeated what I just said, "After all, her duty has been completed......"
The military advisor interrupted him and threw the jade pendant to the prime minister, "If you have time, you should care more about military affairs, this should be more important for you than those trivial matters in the harem." ”
He took the jade pendant back when he reached the door, and then swaggered away.
The prime minister reluctantly retreated, as the right-hand man of the king of the Huns, he has always been above the ten thousand people in a word, and no one dares to have any disrespect for him, but now he has suffered a loss in front of the ordinary man who only knows how to fight and kill, and he has great grievances in his heart, but the king of the Huns doesn't seem to care, and he doesn't pay attention to him at all, so he left the hall directly.
Even the prime minister was ridiculed by the military advisors for his calmness, and was tacitly approved by the king of the Huns, and after this matter got out, no one dared to design a trick on her.
However, this qiē, Calm herself didn't know, because she was still in a hurry to rush to the lake to go to the appointment with the boy.
When she arrived, the boy had been standing there for a long time, holding in his hand a bouquet of wild chrysanthemums that had been folded from the garden, and when he saw that calm had come, he gave the flowers to calm.
"You gave it to me."
Calm did not dislike the simple gift, on the contrary, she was glad that the boy had given her a gift for the first time in so many years, even though the bouquet was all too common everywhere.
Calmly touched the pocket of his clothes, and found that there was nothing to transfer to him, so he could only smile awkwardly, "I won't give it to you in the future." ”
The boy pointed to the forest in the distance of the lake, "Let's go over." ”
They had passed by here when they had been here before, but no one cared.
The boy had arrived here two or three hours earlier than he had calmed down this evening, and because he was a little bored, he went into the forest.
First, because on the grassland, most of the place is the Gobi Desert, and there is very little vegetation cover, and it is precisely because of this that the Xiongnu have to migrate every generation, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Xiongnu have moved the capital several times, and no one can say where the ancestors are buried.
Second, when the boy walked here today, there was a puppy coming out of it, because the boy had rescued a puppy from the restaurant when he was a child, and later he and Calm were caught by the Huns to slavery, and when the boy saw this puppy, he thought of the puppy that he had saved, and saw the wound on its leg, and he wanted to bandage its wound.
However, it disappeared into the depths of the forest as soon as it smoked.
Last but not least, there are no fireworks to be seen, but the smell of food is constantly wafting from the forest.
This is one of the most important reasons why the boy dares to enter here with calm.
Soon after they entered the forest, the military advisor came out of the grass on the side, and looked at the calm and the boy who were walking towards the forest little by little, he shook his head and said regretfully, "No one has survived in this forest so far, but unfortunately, it will almost be twenty-eight." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back, as if the two of them were trapped in the forest, they would only lose a sheep to him.
Compared with the Xiongnu territory, the starry sky in the forest seems to be brighter because of the lack of lights.
Calmly holding the boy's hand, she slowly walked to the front, as if this was where she was going to bring him.
I don't know why, the air here makes Calm feel very comfortable, less bound when he was in the prince's mansion and less afraid when facing the Hun King in the main hall.
Relaxed and calm, he yawned and pointed to the huge hole in the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree in the distance, "Let's spend the night here today." ”
Accompanied the little prince to the kitchen to cook today, she was always worried that she would be punished by the king of the Huns, but she didn't expect that not only was she not reprimanded, but the king of the Huns sent someone to give her a bottle of good wine, and the little prince also gave her a day off.
No matter how precious that bottle of wine was, it was of no value to Calm, and it was transferred to the people who were also in the prince's mansion.
But the thought of having a day off and calming down can't wait to come to the boy.
The forest they had now come to had given Calm the illusion that she was now back home, so she insisted on staying here for the night.
The boy originally thought that he would not like to be calm, afraid that she would think it would be too deserted here, but he didn't expect that she liked it very much and wanted to stay for one night, so he nodded, "Okay, then we will go back tomorrow morning." ”
With that, they turned and went deeper.
And now, behind them, something was following them.
However, they were far away, and their eyes were still glowing with gold, and from a distance, they could easily be confused with the fireflies that were ubiquitous in the forest.
And the calm and boy who was in the mood didn't care.
