When Okabe Masatsuna waited for the girl to get off the horse, he immediately saddled up the horse and returned to the horse, asking for help to lead the horse, and then asking the girl if she wanted to eat some game, so that she could go hunting. However, the girl's attention never stayed on him. The girl who walked in the front,Every time she takes advantage of Okabe Masatsuna to talk to herself,Take a quick look.,Walking at the end of the line.,Silent from the beginning.,Yuqiu Ping, who has a gloomy expression.。

Yu Qiuping watched Okabe Masatsuna show great hospitality to his sweetheart, and he felt very uncomfortable. However, there is nothing I can do. He is now just a small general, and this time he is also playing the role of Asahina Taehyung's entourage. And on the other side is one of the two pillars of the Imagawa family, the young master of the Okabe family, and the difference in identity is still a little too big. If it weren't for the fact that he had the seal of the family governor in his hand, Yu Qiuping didn't even have the confidence to scold him just now.

The girl suddenly became out of reach. The distance of just a few meters made Yu Qiuping dare not look up for a while. I thought that she might be the senior commander of Imagawa Yoshimoto's Ma Dai Zhongli. Yu Qiuping asked, and the highest-ranking of the Ma Xia people were the two family elders, and then there were many generals. He thought that with his relationship with Imagawa Yoshimoto, he would have the opportunity to marry the girl if he asked for it.

However, when he found out, the girl was the daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto himself, the pearl of the Imagawa family's governor, the princess of the Imagawa family, and one of the most noble girls in the whole of Imagawa. All of a sudden, he became very small and humble.

This is... There's no way to bridge the identity gap.

He has always been lively and cheerful, but he didn't say anything all morning, just listening to the two people of Asahina Taihyung and Okabe Masatsuna, and tried their best to mediate with the girl. He didn't pay attention, the girl kept an eye on her.

"Hey. You kid, what's going on! During the picnic at noon, Asahina Taehyung went to get some water with Yu Qiuping under the pretext of going to Yu Qiuping, and pressed Yu Qiuping by the river, "What's the matter!" I'm counting on you and singing! ”

"Big brother." Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and smiled bitterly at Asahina Taehyung, "The girl I fell in love with in the back mountain before is Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Nani!" Asahina Taehyung was taken aback, "What do you say! The girl you met before is Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

"Yes." Yu Qiuping's Adam's apple squirmed up and down, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, am I, I'm definitely out of play." This... I'm just a general. ”

"I'm Cao, you kid is really going to give me a problem." Asahina Taehyung kept scratching his head, "Originally, the eldest brother thought that you had made a great contribution this time, and in a few days, I was going to help you see if you could propose!" You're good now! ”

Just as the two were chattering by the river, the maiden's maid came over, "Two adults, my princess urges you to hurry up." ”

Yu Qiuping and Asahina Taehyung hurriedly silenced themselves and honestly fetched water and went back.

After lunch, the group continued to play in the forest. Yu Qiuping, who is familiar with the girl, can see that the girl doesn't seem to be in a very high mood, and has been smiling to reconcile the conflict between Asahina Taehyung and Okabe Masatsuna. Although I don't know why the girl is depressed, her regulation is still very useful. Okabe Masatsuna, who is bent on pleasing the girl, promises not to go against Asahina Taihyung in the future, and Asahina Taiheng also promises each other very honestly in order to take care of Yu Qiuping's feelings.

Finally, the group sat down in a small secluded pavilion, and the maiden's maid smiled slightly, "Then, my lords, we are going to start singing." ”

"I have admired the princess's demeanor for a long time, and I hope the princess will give me advice!" Okabe Masatsuna didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, he immediately bowed down sharply and spoke first.

The girl looked at Yu Qiuping, who was sitting in the corner, bowing her head and silent, her heart ached, and suddenly, she thought of something the same, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Okabe-sama is serious." The girl said, "Then, I will come up with the last sentence, and please try to come out with the next sentence." ”

The first few couplets are all very basic simple waka, and even Asahina Taiheng can compete with Okabe Masatsuna. But later, the girl's waka became more and more difficult, and Okabe Masatsuna basically relied on that entourage to help answer, but Yu Qiuhei on Asahina's side didn't mean to speak at all, which made Asahina Taiheng embarrassed.

Okabe Masatsuna's side fought one after another, and glanced at Asahina Taehyung and Yu Qiuhei with pride. Asahina Taehyung glared back unconvinced, but Woo Qiuhei was still listless and didn't even respond.

The girl's eyes flickered for a moment, and she suddenly made up her mind.

"And this last sentence, by the way, let's go back." The girl smiled, "If anyone is satisfied with me, I will be impressed by him." ”

The girl's voice made both Okabe Masatsuna and Yu Qiuping open their eyes suddenly and looked at the girl. The maid beside the girl smiled, "Come on, all of you, the princess has spoken." ”

"Rest assured, princess! I will do my best under the next by all means! Okabe Masatsuna clenched his fists and eagerly waited for the girl to come up with the question. Asahina Taehyung didn't want to see him triumphant, and he held his back and prepared to play.

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and for a while, he was in a trance.

Sit up and take notice. Is it?

And - what's the use?

The girl took a deep look at Yu Qiuping. Then, with his right hand, he stroked the autumn leaf pendant on his chest, and for some reason, before he could say anything, his eyes were already red. The tide of memory kept coming, and scenes of the past emerged in front of me, until the upper link, echoing in my mind over and over again, like a red leaf, drifting in the air, but unwilling to land for a long time.

She tried to stop her crying and whispered.

"The heart is like a red leaf dyeing the gods."

As soon as this couplet came out, Okabe Massuna, Asahina Taihyung and the entourage behind Okabe Masatsuna, and even the maid were all stunned for a moment. The beautiful artistic conception and tricky rhyme made everyone unable to start for a while.

The three of them tried their best to search their intestines and scrape their stomachs and say a few words, but the girl just shook her head, but her eyes never left Yu Qiuping's figure. Okabe Masatsuna also made up a few oka songs at the beginning, but they were all vetoed by the girl's head. Stimulated by the phrase "impressive", he didn't listen to the prompts of his entourage at all, and casually made up a waka and jumped out, and Asahina Taehyung continued one by one without showing weakness.

The girl shook her head at them one by one, waved her hand slightly, and motioned for them to say no more.

"Lord Yuqiu, it seems that you haven't been right since just now." The cry in the girl's mouth leaked out at once, "Try it." The last sentence actually had a slightly pleading tone. Yu Qiuping raised his head and looked at the pitiful appearance of the girl with tears in her eyes, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

What's wrong with her?

The girl tried to stop crying, and whispered to Yu Qiuping again.

"The heart is like a red leaf dyeing the gods." The crisp and tactful voice with a crying tone is particularly endearing, which makes Yuqiu's heart shake.

"You're welcome, then." Imagawa Yoshimoto snapped his fingers, "Waka, the most important thing is the artistic conception!" The artistic conception is in place, the rhyme, the format, it doesn't matter if it's almost. ”

"Whatever you want to write, try to imagine that mood. Then a few inspirations will suddenly flash in your mind, and if something flashes, you will try to grasp it, string it together, and the next sentence will naturally blurt out. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto's guidance suddenly came to mind. Yu Qiuping's train of thought seemed to open up suddenly.

The heart is like a red leaf dyeing the gods. What kind of artistic conception is it?

Red.

Imagawa Yoshimoto thought for a moment, "Put the red leaves on top of your head... So..."Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to suddenly think of something, and was stunned there for a moment. Then, with a slight smile, "Give the name Tokiban." ”

These two words flashed through Yu Qiuping's mind like an electric shock.

Tokiwa.

Momiji and Tokiwa.

Caught it.

The heart is like a red leaf dyeing the gods. It's autumn, autumn scenery.

Autumn scenery.

Two more words flashed through my mind.

Caught it.

Dye the Shrine - Shrine is the place where your soul takes refuge. That is, where the king's heart is.

So, why do the red leaves dye the red kamika?

It's for—

Deed Jun Heart.

The heart is like a red leaf dyeing the gods.

"Changpan autumn color is in the heart of the king." Yu Qiuping suddenly woke up and muttered a wa.

The girl shuddered suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes. She jerked her head down, hiding her tears. Crystal teardrops, which flew into the air due to rapid movements, fell into Yu Qiuping's palm.

It's cold, but it's hot.

"Absolutely." Okabe Masatsuna's entourage is also a lover, and when he hears such a wonderful pair for a while, whether it is already or rhyme and rhythm, it is perfect. Therefore, regardless of the hostility of his identity position, he spoke out in admiration.

Okabe Masatsuna sighed, although he still glared angrily at Yu Qiuping, but he also understood that this waka exceeded his unknown amount, it was simply heaven and earth.

The crowd was silent for a long time.

Finally, the girl held back her tears and whispered, "It's getting late, let's go back." ”

Rather than riding away, Wooakihei and Asahina Taehyung led their horses towards Sunpu Castle. Okabe Masatsuna and the girl have long since left on horseback along two different roads.

"You kid, that last pair, that's awesome!" Asahina Taehyung patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder, "It is estimated that the Governor's Hall can only go so far!" ”

Yu Qiuping silently did not respond.

"What are you thinking?" Asahina Taehyung smiled, "Still thinking about your sweetheart?" ”

Yu Qiuping sighed and asked, "Generally... What kind of official position can marry a princess? ”

"Sure enough," Asahina Taehyung said with a smile, "It's usually at least an old family, or..."

"Lord Yuqiu, Lord Princess, please meet Lord Yuqiu." The maid said, then turned to leave, "Please come with the little girl." ”

"Hey, go ahead!" Asahina Taehyung patted Woo Chohei's back, "Don't keep your sweetheart waiting too long!" ”

After Yu Qiuping arrived on horseback, the maid had already left. The girl was left alone, leaning against a rock, sitting on the lawn. Yu Qiuping led the horse over, hesitating whether to sit down next to the girl. In the end, I chose a place a little further away.

The girl suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

"It's because... My identity? The girl spoke first, and the thick crying made Yu Qiuping's heart feel uncomfortable. Pingjun, I've been sullen all day today. ”

Yu Qiuping choked up and nodded.

"I... I'm sorry. The girl whispered, "I... I don't want to embarrass you. ”

"I'm just a general... The young lady is a princess. Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "I made Miss embarrassed." ”

"Don't talk about that." The girl interrupted, "I want to ask you, you have to answer me honestly." ”

"Yes." Yu Qiu responded calmly.

"You swear first," the girl suddenly muttered coquettishly, "Pingjun has always done what he says, so that you won't lie to me." ”

"Okay." Yu Qiuping saw the girl's cute appearance, and the haze in his heart was also dispelled a lot, and he said solemnly, "I, Yu Qiuping, the few words I said after that must come from the bottom of my heart." Dare to deceive the lady in the slightest, and there will be five thunderstorms in the sky. ”

"Then I'll ask you," the girl hesitated, "the waka." You... Have you seen it before? ”

"Nope." Yu Qiuping shook his head honestly.

"That's... How did you come up with that sentence? The girl asked again.

"I," Yu Qiuping recalled, "the superintendent... Ling Zun taught me that when speaking waka, the most important thing is to grasp the thoughts that flash through my heart. When I heard the autumn leaves, I thought of my Tokiwabi, and then, when I thought of autumn colors, I thought of the heart of the deed, and... All of a sudden, it was as if a sentence was waiting for me to grasp it. didn't think much about it, and blurted out the waka. ”

The girl was stunned, and tears slowly flowed down the tear stains again.

"Pingjun, don't feel inferior, don't be sad," the girl whimpered, "I... Little girl, I don't want to embarrass my crush... It doesn't matter if you have a difference in status, I can wait for you to continue to make meritorious contributions and continue to rise, don't be so sad. ”

"I'm going to feel distressed when I look at it."

The girl's whimper made Yu Qiuping feel that the softest corner of her heart suddenly collapsed.

"That pendant of yours," the girl wiped away her tears with her hands and slowly got up, "I'm in a bad mood, just stay with me, and don't return it to Pingjun." ”

Because the maple leaf was given to Ling Tang by Ling Zun, a token of love, isn't it?
