Winter

Winter is coming, and before you know it, light snow is falling. The yellow, decaying world is whitewashed like a fairyland on earth.

Qiu Yue opened the window, looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and gently rolled up her sleeves. I don't know what Zhai Li is doing now. She opened the cabinet on the dresser and took out a small jade pendant to look at it carefully. "Zhai Li, I don't know when I will be able to take you away." She wiped it lightly and carefully put it back in place.

"Chirp" night listened to plunge into the snow, and when he had had enough, he shook his wings and shook off the snowflakes on his feathers. Turning his head and tilting his little head to look at Qiu Yue, he was full of cuteness. As soon as Qiu Yue stretched out her hand, it flew to Qiu Yue's hand and pecked her palm. This little traitor really has to follow himself. I don't know if it will be inconvenient for Zhai Li to pass on information without it. "Listen to the night, the rabbit meat that my eldest brother brought back yesterday, I don't know if you like it or not, I asked Xiang'er to leave some for you, and if you are hungry for a while, you will go to her..." Qiuyue sighed helplessly, what a bird, but it's a pity that it's a foodie.

Nighthawk hurried to Xianyang again. At night, the day's snow covered the entire Xianyang City like a thick quilt. Today, Qiuyue always felt that someone was staring at her, but she didn't see anyone. She wondered if she had not cleared up the poison and had hallucinations. Until Qiuyue and Xiang'er nested in the house to eat hot pot. A black hawk fell from the roof with a thud.

"What's it," Qiu Yue looked horrified. Xiang'er hurriedly ran over and saw a black shadow lying there. She kicked it, only to be grabbed by the ankle by Black Hawk. "Miss Xiang'er, be merciful at your feet, it's me." Autumn Moon approached with a candle and found that it was a nighthawk. "Xiang'er, hurry up and pull him up, it's Nighthawk." Nighthawk smirked twice. He got up, "Miss Akizuki, I'm sorry to disturb you. A few days ago, the king was worried about your safety and sent me to protect you. I just arrived a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to snow. I... I haven't eaten in two days. You didn't know what to eat just now, and your subordinates were so hungry..."

Xiang'er's heart softened again: "Miss, we can't finish eating so much, so let him eat together." Qiu Yue reached out and pinched Xiang'er's fleshy face. Of course, let's get him some more chopsticks. "Hey, okay" Xiang'er flew away like a happy bird. After a while, she brought bowls and chopsticks and brought a bowl of rice porridge. Nighthawk sat down next to Xiang'er a little shyly. "Brother Nighthawk, you drink porridge first to warm up your stomach, this is a bit spicy." Xiang'er's chubby little finger pointed at the hot pot.

"Thank you Xiang'er," Nighthawk's face flushed. Pick up the rice porridge on the table and drink it all. The next thing is for Xiang'er to teach him how to eat hot pot. Qiu Yue secretly glanced at the two of them, one taught seriously, and the other studied carefully. What kind of ingredients to soak a few times, no matter how big or small. Qiu Yue gave Xiang'er a thumbs up. Xiang'er continued to teach with a proud face.

Nighthawks who tried this taste for the first time were addicted. On a snowy day like this, eating steaming hot pot around the table and stove is a great blessing in life. He began to feel busy, and his master sent him over.

After the three of them finished eating, Xiang'er packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went down. The autumn moon leaves the nightjar behind. "Nighthawk, how is your master?" "He's very good, training soldiers day and night. The rest of the time is busy with government affairs. Qiu Yue nodded: "Did you mention me?" Nighthawk paused for a moment and said helplessly: "Ask once a day" Qiuyue was secretly happy, it seems that this iceberg has really melted. "What are you asking?" Akizuki blinked and looked at Nighthawk with big eyes and a smile. Goosebumps that make Nighthawk look up to all over his body.

"That's... Miss Akizuki. It is to ask if you are safe to return to the General's Mansion and then if there is any danger in the Mansion. "Did you mention Miyue?" Qiu Yue asked suddenly. Nighthawk's expression froze. He didn't know what the connection was between Qiu Yue and Mi Yue. Originally, she had a lot of respect for Miyue. But after what happened last time, he also became wary of her in his heart. On the other hand, Qiu Yue, who saved his master, found that she was approachable and kind when he got along. "Last time, the master was suspicious, and now he is sending someone to investigate her."

Qiu Yue didn't ask again, she went to the inner room and took out a cotton coat with dark blue eagle dark patterns on a black background. "Go, put it on." Nighthawk hugged his clothes and didn't move. He was a little confused now, "This is... You did it for me? Qiu Yue nodded. It's winter, and the weather is cool. I see you're all very thinly dressed. It's easy for you to wear black for tasks. I'll make you a black one, you won't like it, will you? ”

Nighthawk hurriedly hugged his clothes, for fear that Qiuyue would have to go back. "I like it, my subordinates will replace it." After speaking, he turned around and went to the room that Qiu Yue arranged for him. After a short time, Nighthawk returned with his hands and feet after changing his clothes. Xiang'er circled around: "Hmm... Sure enough, Miss's craftsmanship is good. This one looks good and fits perfectly. Qiu Yue hurriedly teased Nighthawk: "It's still Nighthawk who looks good, like a hanger." It looks good in anything. Nighthawk's face was visibly red. Smiled Qiu Yue back and forth.

Nighthawk was in a room specially prepared for him, uneasy. He was just a secret guard who could be treated like this. The warm room baked by the stove, the thick bedding, the hot meal, as a young lady, also made cotton clothes for herself. The shadow of the autumn moon was deeply imprinted on his heart. As a result of several days of traveling, he was so tired that he soon fell asleep.

Zhai Li, who was far away in Yiqu, was anxiously waiting for his reply. "I don't know if the Nighthawk has arrived, and there has been no response so far." Zhai Li tugged at his neckline irritably, revealing his wheat-colored skin. He put his legs on the desk and fell into the longing for Qiu Yue again. "Little girl, one day I will tie you to me and let you run around again."

"King, Nightshade asks to see you." The guards came to report. "Let him in." Night Shadow entered the big tent and leaned over to salute Zhai Li. "King, are you looking for me?" Zhai Li sat up straight: "Well, the Nighthawk was sent out by me, and you stay by my side for the time being." "Yes, my lord." "You go to the Polar Night Pavilion tomorrow and ask me how the things I told them to investigate are doing." Nightshade took the lead and retreated.

"Ruyan, what do you think of my clothes?" Zhai Li suddenly spoke. Ruyan, who was pouring tea on the side, didn't know how to answer. "Your Majesty, you made this dress a few years ago. You don't like extravagance, a lot of clothes are old and don't keep warm. Why don't you make it all over again? It's winter, and it's cold. Zhai Li shook his head: "Don't bother, I'll just ask." ”
