Chapter 1: Mome

The Great Moon Dynasty, the seventeenth year of the first century, the sixth day of October.

The winter rain, which had been raining since the morning, had finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, like the face of a father who had been annoyed by a naughty boy.

Li Qingmu, who was taking a nap in the afternoon, suddenly opened his watery eyes, his tender and white forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and his hands were tightly grasping the futon under him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

She looked at the room completely different from the one in her dream, and only when she realized where she was at this moment did she close her eyes and sigh softly.

It's been six years, and every time he dreams of that night full of fire, Li Qingmu will be scared awake, and then hold his shoulders and shake for a long time until the fear in his heart disappears.

'Squeak', Qiu Ju pushed the door in, holding the toiletry in her hand.

Seeing that Li Qingmu woke up, the young Qiu Ju said in a weird manner, "Yo, the little dumb bar woke up, why are you sweating profusely, do you want me to wait for you to wash?" ”

Li Qingmu ignored Qiu Ju's rude words, got out of the quilt, picked up a jacket with rabbit fur rolled and draped it on his body.

The winter of Otsuki is particularly cold, especially after the winter rains. The wind was like blowing from a distant snowy country, with a biting cold.

Qiu Ju snorted coldly when she saw Li Qingmu's ignorant look, put the vermilion wooden basin on the small table, picked up the cold water in it and cleaned her face, and after washing, she soaked a cotton cloth in it, wrung it out and wiped her face.

Looking at Qiu Ju's red face and the cold water without the slightest heat in the wooden basin, Li Qingmu couldn't help but shiver and hugged his shoulders tighter.

Qiu Ju is a native of Dayue, and she is not afraid of this clammy and cold. Unlike Li Qingmu, the place where Li Qingmu used to live has four distinct seasons, although it snows in winter, he can stay in a house that is as warm as midsummer, and I don't know how much warmer it is than the big moon that can't be warmed.

In fact, Otsuki can also keep warm in winter, but it's not a low-level minion like them.

Qiu Ju wiped her face clean, walked to the bed and went to the quilt next to Li Qingmu to drill into it, and said to Li Qingmu, "The afternoon is your errand, the prince should go to Li Ji's room today, it's cheap for you." Help me pour water when I go out. ”

Li Qingmu couldn't help but roll his eyes after all.

Qiu Ju is fourteen this year, and Li Qingmu, who is only eleven years old, is the same maid who waits for pen and ink in the study of King Jin. Qiu Ju entered the palace two years earlier than Li Qingmu, and bullied Li Qingmu everywhere. In the past, there was some restraint, but since the King of Jin returned to his house a few days ago, he looked at Li Qingmu a few more times when he was reading in the study.

"Look at your foxy look!" Qiu Ju is still young and can't hide her thoughts. After seeing Li Qingmu's white eyes, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "At a young age, I am still restless with such a large scar on my face. Do you really think that King Jin was looking at your face last time? That's looking at the scar on your face, a dumb one, and no self-knowledge. ”

Qiu Ju was lying in the quilt, and the more she spoke, the more vicious she became, she did not hide the jealousy in her eyes for Li Qingmu's beautiful and moving face although she was broken.

Li Qingmu glared at Qiu Ju again, got up and walked to the small table where the wooden basin was placed, and looked at the water stains on the edge of the wooden basin and was reluctant to reach out to serve it.

She is afraid of the cold, extremely afraid of the cold. At this moment, the wooden basin filled with cold water was like a monster whistling in the cold wind in her eyes.

Qiu Ju saw Li Qingmu standing still in front of Xiao Ji, and sneered, "What, do you really think of yourself as a princess?" The prince just looked at you a few more times, and he actually made you arrogant like this. Hmph, I'll return to the princess and send you to Lelou......"

Lelou, the place where Otsuki cultivates prostitutes. A prostitute, a military prostitute who specializes in accompanying the army and serving the soldiers to vent their desires.

Li Qingmu listened to Qiu Ju's words, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and picked up the wooden basin filled with cold water.

"Hmph, I thought the bones could be so hard!" Qiu Ju snorted coldly again, lay back behind the quilt, and said with Li Qing on her back, "Remember to close the door tightly when you go out, otherwise you will feel ......good when you come back at night."

Li Qingmu didn't go out after picking up the wooden basin, but stepped forward and stood in front of the bed in a few steps, pouring all the cold water in the wooden basin on Qiu Ju's head exposed outside the quilt.
