The Heroic Soul Plain is located in the north of the middle of the Red Sea Continent, and in the early winter of each year, the cold snap from the Arctic Ice Sheet has already raised several snowflakes in the north of the Trench Mountains, but the Heroic Soul Plain, which is surrounded by the towering Trench Mountains, will always be a few days late for snowfall.

On the first day of December, the Trench Mountains could no longer stop the cold air currents, and the first snow of 1494 fell in the Eternal City.

The snow didn't come earlier or later than usual, and like the first snow of previous years, the first snow of the year was still not large, but it continued to come quietly in the night, and before people woke up, it decorated the whole city and created a simple but stunning whiteness of the city.

The snowflakes are drifting quietly, the wind is shallow and not rising, even if the snow is soft and quiet, people will try to go out as much as possible in this weather, there are not many people in the Heroic Square, and the fat pigeons have already taken refuge in the pigeon shed built for them by the Environment Department, and the huge square seems much quieter than usual.

On the Heroic Square, Di Xue was wearing a black swan feather, standing in the silent and drifting snow and watching the snow silently.

There is a snow in Di Xue's name, because he was born on a snowy day, and because his mother's name is Lan Xue, he and Di Lan's sister and brother each took a word from their mother's name.

But in fact, Di Xue doesn't like snow.

Or should it be said that he no longer likes snow after the age of seven.

Because whenever he sees snow, he always thinks of his mother.

Di Xue's biological mother, the former queen Lan Xue, is a beautiful and peerless strange woman, her person is just like her name, elegant and noble like orchid, flawless and pure like snow.

Thirteen years ago today, the blue snow queen passed away, Di Xue remembered that the snow that day was like today, just quietly drifting, because the wind was shallow and never fluttered.

December 1st is the memorial day of Queen Lanxue, and at the same time, it is also Dixue's birthday.

Di Xue remembered that day, before her mother died, she lay on the sickbed and said to him with a smile: "Xiaoxue, happy birthday, my mother will be gone in the future, your birthday every year, every day of the year, you have to be happy." ”

"Well, Xiaoxue promised her mother that every birthday, every day of the year, she would be happy. Seven-year-old Di Xue held back her tears very hard, and tried hard to smile, because he wanted his mother to see him happy when she was dying.

Di Xue's promise was also the last word he said to his mother.

"I'm sorry, I never lived up to my promises, every birthday, I'm not happy. Di Xue muttered to himself, and the white snowflakes fell like light feathers in front of his eyes.

For the past thirteen years, every December 1st, the day of Emperor Xue's birthday and the day of Queen Lanxue's festival, there has always been snow, either light snow or heavy snow, or soft drifting or whistling, not the first snow every year, but it will always snow.

Although Di Xue no longer likes snow because of his mother's death in the snow, he still walks out of the Tower of Eternity and comes out to see the snow on this day every year.

Because whenever he sees snow, he always thinks of his mother.

Only on this day of the year will he no longer suppress his longing for her.

My mother likes snow very much, and when I was a child, when it was winter, my mother liked to take herself and my sister out to see the snow, Di Xue gently closed her eyes, recalling when she was a child, her mother took herself and her sister out to see the snow.

Queen Lan Xue squatted in the snow, wrapped Di Xue's small body in her snow-white windbreaker, and whispered in his ear: "Xiaoxue, do you hear the sound of snow?"

"Queen Mother, how can snow have a voice?" Di Xue was sensible very early when she was a child, but she still wondered how snow could have a sound?

Queen Lan Xue laughed, stretched out her hands, and covered Di Xue's eyes with her slightly cool fingers: "Xiaoxue, everything in the world has a sound, flowers and snow fall have their own voices, you also have to listen attentively, snow falling on the earth, in fact, is moistening the fertile soil, with your own body to be born, do you understand?"

When she was a child, Di Xue didn't seem to understand, and said honestly: "Xiaoxue doesn't understand now, but she will remember the words of the queen mother and try to understand it in the future." ”

"Well, my Xiaoxue is the most obedient and smart!" Queen Lan Xue's smile made Han Xue's heart move.

After growing up, Di Xue realized that his mother was actually teaching him what "dedication" and "love the people" was, in his mother's heart, he would inherit the imperial throne in the future, from a very young age, his mother was imperceptibly influencing himself, teaching him how to be a good emperor like his father, dedicating himself to the common people, loving the people like a son, and some principles of behaving in the world.

There are many similar things, there are many arrogant and arrogant people, Di Xue has never been pampered and arrogant since he was a child, and a large part of the reason is that he was influenced by Queen Lan Xue.

The mother is always so thoughtful of others, virtuous and wise, good as water, even when she is about to die, she wants her children to promise her that she will be happy forever.

Di Xue woke up from her memories slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she seemed to see the figures of two children, a man and a woman, playing in the snow in the distance, and a white-clothed beauty in an edelweiss cloak looked at them and smiled brightly.

......

......

There was a slight cold wind, bringing a burst of fragrant orchid fragrance from behind, and a pair of snow-white hands like jade came around the back of Di Xue's head and covered his eyes.

"How old are you, still playing this. There was a smile in Di Xue's voice.

Di Lan put down his hand, detoured in front of Di Xue and said, "Happy birthday." ”

Di Xue said, "Thank you." ”

Princess Dilan looked at the falling snow and snow and was also distracted for a while, sighed and said, "Let's go, my father is waiting for us." ”

A team of royal guards has stopped in front of the Tower of Eternity, guarding three carriages, this time it is a private visit to the micro-service, and the royal guard of honor is not used, the emperor's travel specifications are too cumbersome, leaning on the fence His Majesty Xià does not want to disturb the people with great fanfare, even the royal guards are in plain clothes, and they don't bring much, anyway, there is Master Tina with him, and the royal mausoleum is in the Heroic Soul Plain, and he is not afraid of safety issues.

Di Xue and Di Lan walked side by side towards the queue and got into the two carriages behind them.

The mainland funeral custom must wear black, and the guards are all black-clothed and black-clothed, and the queue turns into a black line in the snow, heading out of the city.

Go to the royal cemetery to pay homage to the former queen Lan Xue

(It is expected that there will be a change at seven or eight o'clock)
