As long as Yan Ruo thought that he had believed in Yan Zhou's exercise theory in the past few days and pulled Che to walk every day, it was actually aggravating his pain, Yan Ruo felt like a knife.

What the hell is she doing?

didn't help him alleviate his pain, and he was still adding to his burden......

"Yan Meiren, don't blame yourself~ The slave family just thinks that his situation is somewhat similar to the mermaid in that story, but in the final analysis, it is just similar, and the two are not related, not necessarily the same situation."

Yan Ruo's mood did not improve by half a point.

Before hearing the story of this mermaid told by the mirror demon, Yan Ruo had always thought that Che had some old illness or that his body was too weak, so his face would always look so pale.

Can ...... now

At that moment, Yan Ruo only felt unbearable heartache.

It was as if a knife had pierced her heart alive and stirred it several times, as if it was about to stir her heart to pieces.

She didn't hesitate when she turned to look for Che.

"Where are you going?" Yan Zhou felt very strange when he saw that he had been silent for a long time, suddenly turned pale, and then strode away.

At this time, Yan Ruo had no heart to answer Yan Zhou's words.

Her worries and guilt were all born from Che, and the voice next to her was like the wind blowing in her ears, and it didn't leave any impression on her in a flash.

Yan Zhou felt strange, and he raised his foot to catch up.

But at this time, he received a summons from the palace.

"Father wants to announce me to the palace?" Yan Zhou furrowed his brows, and asked the slave rather suspiciously, "Why does my father want to see me?" What's going on lately? ”

White Snow Country is different from Blue Feather Country.

Qingyu is more like the traditional ancient world, where the imperial class rules clearly, and the emperor's son will hardly call him his father, but is forced to use the honorific title of the emperor, which is unfamiliar and shows the emperor's status.

And those who can stay in the palace and serve the emperor are basically only eunuchs.

But this is not the case in Snow Country.

The title of parents here does not have any effect on the status level, and the relationship in the royal family is as harmonious as that in ordinary people's families, and there are very few brothers and relatives who do anything to fight each other for the throne.

And those who can serve the emperor are also slaves in the palace.

Although they are subordinates who have no freedom, they will not be like the eunuchs of Qingyu Kingdom, who have to be purified before entering the palace.

"The four princes don't have to worry, everything has been normal in the Snow Country recently, and nothing major has happened. Your Majesty wants to see Your Highness, and I think I miss Your Highness a little. The servant said respectfully.

Just because of missing?

Yan Zhou thought about his father's temperament, and it was not impossible for him to find out.

After all, if his father was not busy with government affairs on weekdays, he would think of their sons and daughters, and immediately issue an edict to let them go to the palace to have a meal together or something.

This time it may be the same as before.

Thinking like this, Yan Zhou seemed to suddenly think of something, "In addition to letting me enter the palace, my father also called several of my other brothers and sisters to enter the palace together?" ”

"This ......," the servant hesitated slightly, looking a little uncertain, "His Majesty seems to have summoned only one person to the palace. ”

Yan Zhou immediately understood that if he was only allowed to enter the palace alone, it would definitely not be because of longing.

As for the reason......

There's no need to guess at this time, will you know soon after you meet your father?

Anyway, his father wouldn't hurt him, and he wasn't a moody person.

"Okay, I'll follow you into the palace."

Before leaving, Yan Zhou didn't forget to tell the housekeeper that if he didn't come back when it was time to eat, he could let the guests in the house eat first.

When he arrived in the palace, Yan Zhou saluted the energetic middle-aged man in the gorgeous palace, "Father." ”

"It's Zhou'er here!" As soon as the emperor saw Yan Zhou, his originally somewhat serious face instantly eased, "Sit down first, our father and son haven't had a good chat for a while." How have you been doing lately, have you encountered any difficulties? ”

Although this emperor looked a little chattering, what he said was all about Yan Zhou.

This is also the normal way of getting along between their father and son, and Yan Zhou naturally answered.

first briefly talked about his recent situation, and then asked the emperor a few words.

"By the way, I heard that you rescued someone from the coast a few days ago." The emperor mentioned this matter as if unintentionally, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Yan Zhou didn't have any intention of concealing it, and nodded lightly: "There is indeed such a thing. ”

And he could probably guess that his father only summoned him today, but not the other siblings, because of this incident.

"Zhou'er, I know you are careful and kind. Whenever I see someone in a predicament, I can't help but come to the rescue. Can ......"

The Emperor paused, as if pondering how to say what was going to happen.

"When you get along with people, you still have to grasp that degree. You saved a man and came up, and you want to make friends, so your father will naturally not stop you. But now that you are of marriageable age, you have time to visit the ladies of each family, and don't get too close to the men next to you......"

If it had been a few years ago, it would not have been strange for men to get close to men, and there would be no need to bring such things out of their minds.

But two years ago, there was a sudden scandal in the house of a powerful family - the young man in the house did not love women, but thought about the man, at first it was just coercion and temptation, and then saw that the man did not obey, and forced a person to die.

In the eyes of the world, it is really against human ethics for a man to fall in love with a man.

After that, even if a man gets along with a man on weekdays, he has to keep his distance, for fear that others will misunderstand.

Especially men who are not married should pay more attention to it, if they are misunderstood, they will have such a fetish, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to find a good family.

"Wait...... Father, I don't understand what you're saying. What kind of man? Yan Zhou was a little confused.

Is Father referring to Che?

But he and Che are not close.

"It's the boy you rescued!"

"That's not right......" Yan Zhou frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"The man I rescued was not a man, but a woman, and she ......"

Having said that, Yan Zhou finally realized what went wrong.

He said helplessly: "Father, you are mistaken. It was a girl, not a man, that I rescued. ”

"But he obviously ......"

"She is the third princess of the Qingyu Kingdom, and the legend says that she especially likes to dress up as a man and see people in a manly form." Yan Zhou explained helplessly.

Although Yan Ruo dresses up as a man all day long, he already knew that the other party was a woman, so naturally he didn't associate her with the man in his father's mouth the first time his father mentioned her.
