Qin Se babbled a lot, as if he had said all the words that he couldn't say before, and Momiji listened quietly on the sidelines, not interjecting, not saying much, but feeling sad.

She couldn't imagine how painful it hurt to have a slave mark on a young woman's shoulder, and she didn't know how determined Qin Se had been along the way.

"When Daddy was beheaded all over the house, it was in such a late autumn season, and the place where the execution was carried out was planted with tall trees, and the leaves on the branches were almost clean, leaving only a few lonely patches. When Daddy was executed, Ah Niang and I didn't rush over, and when we went, the onlookers had dispersed, leaving only the blood on the platform, which was particularly red, like the maple leaves in Chang'an South, and Daddy took me and Auntie to see it before he was arrested, like blood red. ”

Qin Se stared at the tall and short dead trees in the distance and muttered stupidly, "After we went back, we were arrested and sold into slavery, Ah Niang's body was weak and couldn't stand it, and she left before the first snow... I probably want to stay in the late autumn, I want to catch up with Daddy's footsteps and accompany him..."

"..."

Hongye supported Qin Se, his voice was a little choked, staring at Qin Se's side face, watching the teardrop on the corner of his eye slowly drip, down his cheek, silently sliding down, without sound.

Qin Se sighed lightly, subconsciously reached out and touched the corner of his eye, the sadness on his face had been reduced to a few points, "With pregnancy, people have also become sentimental... It's easy to cry at every turn..."

"I wanted to cry as soon as I entered the late autumn, maybe my father didn't cry when he died, and now I have to make up for it all. Daddy is like this, I heard that Xu Sangongzi and the eldest princess have always been close, and the eldest princess suddenly went... I don't know what happened to him now..."

"Niangniang, but are you concerned about Xu Sangongzi?"

Hongye raised his eyes curiously to look at Qin Se, rarely heard Qin Se mention Xu Sangongzi, this is the first time to care, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip.

Qin Se was startled, but realized what she had said, and quickly changed the subject, "As far as you know... Hongu is just a feeling, by the way, how is the burn on your hand? ”

Momiji pursed her lips, knowing that she had a hard mouth, but she also reached out obediently, "Niangniang, you see, it's better, it doesn't hurt as much as just now." ”

"That's good."

Qin Se looked at the red and swollen place on Hongye's hand and was a little shocked, and couldn't help but blame a sentence or two, "Pay attention in the future, you don't do those things these days, so that you can live and raise." ”

When Momiji heard this, he smiled and said "yes".

The life of the temple is plain and pure, but I still have to go back after all, back to the place where I eat people and don't spit out bones, the eldest princess just died not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, the harem changed the direction of the wind, not to mention the need to go to court in advance.

Qin Se's situation is more or less embarrassing, and it is difficult to move an inch without the protection of the eldest princess, but this is a person who is pregnant with a dragon heir, and with support, the emperor has never snubbed Qin Se because of the death of the eldest princess, so most of them are in a state of wait-and-see.

are all looking at the dragon heir in Qin Se's belly, when will he be born? Male or female? Can you give birth?

When the first snow fell, the emperor went to the temple to pray for the coming year, accompanied by a few concubines, Qin Se was pregnant and could not go, so she had to be put in the harem.

"What are you looking at?"

Momiji took the cloak and walked to Qin Se, who was standing in front of the door, and wondered.

Qin Se stared at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and smiled, "Look at the snow, the first snow." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his reddish hand and took a white velvet snowflake, the snowflake lay quietly in the palm of his hand, slightly cool, and when it touched the temperature transmitted by the palm, it turned into a pool of slightly cool water.

Momiji was startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and stepped forward to wipe the water in Qin Se's hand.

"Mother, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

As he spoke, he put a cape of snow-white fox fur over Qin Se and carefully fastened the strap.

Jean Se remained motionless and let Momiji put on it, and returned to the house, where she sat on a chaise longue covered with a blanket, the charcoal fire in the stove crackling.

The bones of his body warmed up a little, and Qin Se said: "In the blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half since this palace entered the palace."

"Yes, the first days in this palace passed very quickly."

Momiji responded as he took out a blanket from the closet and covered Jean's legs, which were frozen and somewhat numb.

"Momiji, how's the front hall?"

Hongye sighed, "Since the eldest princess left, the queen mother also left the palace, and the Xu family has been declining day by day, and there is no longer the prosperity of the past. After a lot of effort, most of the court was bought by Zaizhi, and after a while, I am afraid that it will become the world of Zaizhi. ”

"Be careful!"

Qin Se's eyebrows were startled, his eyes were round, and he stretched out his hand and patted Momiji's shoulder, neither light nor heavy.

After Momiji knew that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly silenced him, not daring to say more, for fear of saying something wrong again.

There was silence for a long time, until Genser asked, "How is that man?" ”

"That person?"

Momiji was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Qin Se's eyes, and then reacted, "That person... I heard that I have been guarding filial piety in front of the mausoleum of the eldest princess. From late autumn to the winter solstice..."

I really don't know how long I have to stay?

Qin Se seemed to be able to read what Hongye was thinking, and explained to himself: "That person is very affectionate, his biological mother left early, he has always been with the eldest princess, and later enlisted in the army, and he was bloody on the battlefield, and after he came back, he also followed the eldest princess, the eldest princess has nothing in her life, and he should be filial piety for her."

Momiji said "um", his eyebrows and eyes drooped, and when it snowed for the first time, his heart was cold and uncomfortable.

"When will the emperor come back?"

"I heard the big eunuch say, it will take about three or two days, why did Niangniang suddenly ask that?"

"It's nothing, it's always a little uneasy."

Hearing Qin Se's words, Momiji couldn't help but get nervous, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" ”

Qin Se looked at Momiji's nervous expression, and laughed out loud, "It's uneasy and not uncomfortable, it's just that my chest is stuffy, probably because I'm thinking too much." ”

Hongye pursed his lips, didn't turn his head, and said angrily: "Niangniang really can't say clearly, the slave who is harmed is worried."

Qin Se smiled and poked Momiji's forehead, "Obviously you heard it wrong, how can you blame it on this palace, you little girl, looking at this palace can't move you, more and more lawless." ”

"Where are slaves?"

Momiji retorted, his little face slightly raised, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Look at you..."

Before Qin Se could finish his words, there was a knock on the door, followed by the shrill voice of the eunuch in the courtyard.

"Niangniang, Mama Rong of Fenghua Palace asks to see you!"
