How to fight, how to diplomacy...... This was completely beyond what the king of the fief needed to learn.

Could it be that the mother wants me to stay to assist the royal sister?

But no matter what the mother queen thinks, she is already disgusted with Han. She thought it was Han who seduced me and made me addicted to male sex, so she delayed my schoolwork.

She's going to lock Han up and keep him away from me.

I can't show the anxiety in my heart, let alone show that I can't do without him, which will only make Han's fate worse.

I calmly admitted my mistake and said that I could not blame anyone, but I was not calm enough and was tempted by too many external temptations. I promised the Queen that I would work hard in the future.

In this way, the mother queen did not punish him in the end.

However, Han will follow me to spend the winter, and he will inevitably become the target of the Mother Empress......

Should I keep him here......

It's just a winter apart.

I was crouching on the edge of the frosty koi pond and thinking, when I heard Han's voice.

"I thought there was a mushroom growing on the edge of the pond—" a teasing tone suddenly sounded in the back—"It turned out to be the Frost Princess." ”

I didn't hear Han's footsteps at all, and I was so frightened that I stood up.

Han was almost knocked over by me, and reached out to press me in his arms: "What are you doing?" ”

I threw my head up and shouted, "The little mushroom has grown into bamboo!" ”

Han: "...... The only ones that can grow into bamboo are bamboo shoots. ”

Me: "Then you should have said that there was a bamboo shoot growing on the edge of the pond." ”

Han: "Take the bamboo shoot directly into the pot, so as not to give it a chance to grow into bamboo." ”

I gnawed on his neck, feigned anger, and asked, "You actually want to eat this princess?" ”

Gnaw me back.

"Whoa!" I struggled.

We frolicked by the pond for a while.

He hugged me, looked at the ice in the pond, and sighed, "It's been so early this winter." ”

"yes......"

I had something on my mind, and I didn't continue to answer his words.

Seeing that I was silent, Han asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"You used to say that the royal sister's lewdness was just a disguise, and she was very accurate in seeing people, so the mother would choose her to be the crown princess."

Han said: "That's my guess, and it's not true. ”

I turned around and hugged him: "Then what do you think of the Mother Empress?" What about her? ”

Han lowered his head and said lightly: "It's not appropriate to talk about the royal family in vain." ”

I leaned over and quietly watched his expression.

He stayed with me for more than half a year, and during that time, we were together every day. I can already see through his expression.

Right now...... Am I too sensitive?

I always felt that the moment he lowered his eyebrows just now, he seemed to be sighing something, and quickly hid this emotion.

"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, you tell me in a whisper."

Han said softly: "What a great achievement, wanton killing, and using cruel means to hunt down and kill the orphans of the previous dynasty." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned.

In his impression, did the mother queen turn out to be such a person?

"I heard that, too." Han suddenly laughed, his tone casual, "I'm just a musician, and I can only listen to Mi Xin from the untouchables. Of course, the untouchables would have spoken of her as vicious. ”

I rubbed it in his arms, closed my eyes, and decided to throw my troubles to Han and let him think for himself: "The mother, the imperial sister and I will go to the south for the winter together. I want to take you with me, but I'm afraid the Mother Queen will embarrass you......"

Han didn't care: "Wouldn't it be better if I hid?" Out of sight. ”

"The palace in the south is very small, and if you follow me, you will have to go and say hello every day."

There is no way to avoid encounters.

Han pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked faintly: "The Yanju Palace in the south is the palace of the former dynasty that has not been demolished, right?" ”

It's been a long time since anyone mentioned the former dynasty.

Today, Han mentioned it twice.

I scavenged through the memories in my mind, and I didn't know much about the Southern Dynasty.

I nodded: "There are rumors like this. ”

Han's eyes wandered, looking at the sunset behind me.

The evening sun is setting. The red glow shrouded in red, just like when we first met.

Behind him was exactly to the east, where the twinkling stars were already covered.

And I saw his whole being, sealed in the stars.

He pursed his lips and muttered, "Then of course I'm going to see it." ”
