The winter in Beihu is really cold, Xia Muyao really felt it, when she was a child, she heard that Beihu would freeze to death in winter, at that time she felt that she would never come to Beihu in her life, but now, she not only came, but also felt the cold of winter here, it was really too cold, she was about to freeze to death.

It's good to just die.

Therefore, more than 20 days later, Xia Muyao said to Lao Rong: "In the future, there will be no need for charcoal fire in this house."

Lao Rong didn't say anything, but he still roasted the house with charcoal every day. Since the vassal king ordered them to take good care of the princess, they naturally did not dare to slack off.

Three meals a day, bath water, a change of clothes, and grandma are all properly prepared.

It's just that they never talk to Xia Muyao, and Xia Muyao hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Sometimes she muttered to herself outside the window, watching the breath from her mouth dissipate in front of her mouth as a white mist, and she felt that it was her strength, and that she was going to fall down little by little without her body.

A month later, she lost a lot of weight, and when she took a bath, she touched her bones and felt panicked, and couldn't help but think that if Huerhe appeared and held herself in her arms, she would not like it.

But when she thought of Huerhe, Xia Muyao was full of contempt for herself, and now that she had reached this point, was she still thinking about him? It's been a month, and it doesn't matter so much whether he comes or not, anyway, at the end of the day, she's always alone.

Her life is so hard!

When he was in Dakang, he was imprisoned all the time, and when he arrived in Beihu, he was free for a long time, and he was imprisoned again...... I'm afraid that this time, I will be imprisoned for the rest of my life.

****

This month was also the most difficult month for Huerhe, he was in the barracks every day, using government affairs to fill in the gaps in time. His temper became very bad and he spent most of his time wrinkling his eyebrows.

When he returned home one day, when he threw the reins of his horse to the porter, the porter took the reins and turned to lay the horses, and Huerkh glanced at the porter and thought that the way he walked was really ugly.

Huerhe called the butler and wanted the butler to leave the porter, but the moment he saw the butler, he waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the butler to go.

Huerhe knew what he didn't like to see because he remembered Xia Muyao too much, but he put out the cruel words and didn't allow others to report Xia Muyao's situation in front of him, so no one dared to mention Xia Muyao in front of him, even the maid who cleaned up the house in Tengchong's courtyard, when the maid in Huanyi sent Xia Muyao's washed clothes back, he secretly took advantage of his absence to dare to put those clothes in the cabinet in the bedroom.

Huerhe knew that he was not good at himself, he was not a person who would anger others because of his bad mood, but this time, he couldn't control himself. He can find fault with everything.

The night was the most tormenting time for him, he was alone in bed, and he couldn't sleep at all. Xia Muyao's little face stubbornly appeared in his mind, making him unable to close his eyes.

For many nights, he went to stand alone by the still water lake, looking at the swings and boats in the moonlight, and his heart was filled with sadness.

On the night of the snowfall, Huerhe went to find An Gongzi to drink. The two sat on the platform, the snowflakes blew into the platform with the wind, everything was quiet, Huerhe had been silent, An Gongzi did not speak, but half a moon was gone, Huerhe's face was clearly written with the vicissitudes of longing.

"Why don't you compare King Yan and I on horseback?" After a few cups, Gongzi An said to Huerhe.

Huerhe thought for a moment and nodded.

"King Yan is good at riding and shooting, and the horses are also unique in the world, why don't you let me be 100 meters first?" An Gongzi said again.

Huerhe happily agreed, and then went down the stairs with Gongzi An and got on their horses. Huerhe waited for An Gongzi to go 100 meters first, and then hit the horse to follow.

After following up, Huerhe found out that the direction of An Gongzi's competition was actually to Youtai. Huerkh kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse chased after him like an arrow.

An Gongzi's horse skills are also the best, and the two arrived at the secluded platform on the outskirts of the city almost at the same time.

Huerhe held the reins of the horse, without words, he naturally understood An Gongzi's good intentions. But the question between him and Xia Muyao is not so simple, how can he take the princess who wants to elope with someone back to the mansion?

He watched quietly for a while on the horse, and it was late at night, and the room where Xia Muyao lived on the third floor was still lit with a faint candle. Xia Muyao was afraid of the dark at night, at first she was in Tengchong Courtyard, and she had to burn candles at night, but gradually, when Huerhe was by her side, she didn't need candles.

Now, the candle flame is burning again, and it is this quiet and empty secluded platform that makes her afraid at night......

Huerhe couldn't think about it anymore, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself, so he rushed to the secluded platform and hugged Xia Muyao in his arms, so he pulled the reins of the horse and said to An Gongzi: "Go back."

But on the second day, Huerhe ordered people to send a lot of candles and charcoal to Youtai, as well as some cotton clothes for the winter, and instructed the subordinates of Youtai that the princess was afraid of the cold, and the charcoal fire should not be extinguished every day, and the princess was afraid of the dark, and the candles in the night should not be extinguished.

Lao Rong and Mama returned these items to the warehouse one by one, and sent the cotton clothes to Xia Muyao's room.

At that time, the rumors in the market had already spread to Youtai, and they knew that the reason why Xia Muyao was imprisoned in Youtai was because she wanted to elope with someone.

They couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh at Xia Muyao's body in the blessings, no one knows the temper of the vassal king, this matter should have been killed a long time ago if someone else did, and the vassal king still treated her with good food and drink.

Since that night, Huerhe has not been to Youtai.

****

The end of the year is getting closer and closer, but Huerhe feels that his vassal palace is getting more and more deserted.

From time to time, the officials who perceived the king's will would want to set up a banquet in the famous hall and invite Huerhe to attend the banquet and enjoy the singing and dancing. Naturally, their purpose is not in singing and dancing, but the people who perform singing and dancing are all singers and dancers carefully selected by them, most of them are still looking for Xia Muyao's age, they think that Huerhe likes to be young.

Huerhe, on the other hand, had no affection for the women who were unfurling in front of him, and often left the table before the banquet was over, because he was annoyed by the noisy singing and dancing.

Until Luo Li appeared.

The dinner party where Luo Li appeared, set up in the mansion where he joined the army, more than half of the banquet, the flute sounded suddenly, and when the next person opened the window, he saw that on the pond outside the banquet hall, a veiled woman dressed in thin red clothes held a cold plum in her hand, dancing with the flute.

The woman's figure was delicate and soft, and after a dance, she was called to the banquet hall by the army. Although the woman's face was covered by a veil, her eyes were beautiful. She came to Huerhe, bent down to salute, and said softly: "Nujia Luoli, I have seen King Yan."

Huerhe smiled, knowing the hard work of joining the army, this Luo Li's eyes really looked like Xia Muyao.

That night, Huerhe brought Luo Li into the mansion.

The housekeeper placed Luo Li in the courtyard where Xiao Jiao used to live, and Huerhe went to Luo Li's room at night, but he didn't have any other intentions, he wanted to see Luo Li dancing with a veil.

It is a great grace to be able to enter the palace of the vassal king, and Na Luoli understands that if she can win Huerhe's heart, then her identity will be different from then on. At this moment, the princess of the domain is not in the mansion, which is really a godsend.

Luo Li tried her best to tempt Huerhe, she approached Huerhe, took Huerhe's hand and walked around her. Huerhe looked at her quietly, looking at the soul-like eyes, which fascinated him, he wrapped his arms around Luo Li's waist, and Luo Li was delicately attached to Huerhe's arms, and then took off the veil, she thought that Huerhe wanted to kiss her.

The moment the veil was taken off, Huerhe saw clearly that it was a completely different face from Xia Muyao, and even the eyes were different, Xia Muyao's gaze was cold and silent, while Luo Li's gaze was frivolous and shallow.

Huerhe pushed Luo Li away without saying a word, turned to leave.

He originally wanted to let people send Luo out of the house, but out of the courtyard, he was surrounded by loneliness, anyway, the house was deserted, and it was not bad to leave a woman who could sing and dance once in a while. What's more, after wearing the veil, she still has such good eyes.

Luo Li stayed in the vassal king's mansion like this.

****

In a few days, it will be the end of the year, and many red lanterns have been hung on Youtai since childhood, but Xia Muyao's spirit is sluggish day by day, she no longer looks at the scenery, no longer looks forward to the arrival of Huerhe, she always feels sleepy, and she just wants to sleep all day long.

On this day, when Mama came in to deliver lunch, she found Xia Muyao lying on the bed and asleep. Mama couldn't help frowning, these days, Xia Muyao is always like this, not long after waking up in the morning, she fell asleep again at lunchtime, and her face was pale, the whole person looked sad, she couldn't help but be a little worried, is this princess sick?

When he saw Lao Rong, Mama told him about his worries, and Lao Rong also felt that this matter was not trivial, although the vassal king imprisoned the princess, but he had been letting them take care of him, in case the princess was sick, they could not afford it.

So, when the guards were changing, Mama asked one of them to invite a Lang Zhong.

When the guard left, a thought suddenly flashed in Mama's mind, the princess has been staying in Youtai for two months, but she has never had a menstrual affair, isn't it? Is the princess pregnant?
