Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning of the War
Snow Country White City.
After the news spread that Princess Xia and Miss Forget Worry had a harmonious relationship and were like sisters, many people had an attitude of disbelief. But facts speak louder than everything, and the little princess runs to the girl's residence almost every three days, often staying all day. The laughter and laughter in the courtyard made the palace maids and eunuchs passing by curious, and when they wanted to take a sneak look, they left in a huff after seeing the two "big cats" lying on their stomachs in the courtyard.
Today, the little princess went to the girl again, and the accompanying palace maids also had a leap forward in their views on the girl under the little princess's repeated praise. Nowadays, I don't feel as scared as I was when I first came here. Although they are still a little afraid of the two "big cats" and the little fox who can talk, they have become respectful and loving for forgetting their worries.
"Sister, this is my newly made plum blossom cake, can you taste it?"
Xia Yunzhi put the food box on the stone table, opened it and took out a plate of delicate snacks. But Forget worry only glanced at the pastry, and then focused on Xia Yunzhi's face. Raised his eyebrows and paused, before he spoke: "My sister has something on her mind?"
"No, I don't. ”
Xia Yunzhi's negation is also exposed. She glanced up and forgot about her worries, then lowered her head. Forget your worries and raise your lips and smile, knowing it at the moment.
"Did General Chu make you angry? Look at your red eyes, you have lost your temper with him?"
"No, he's been nice to me. ”
The little princess's voice was weak, and it didn't seem like she had been wronged, and the palace maids on the side couldn't see it, so they pouted and hugged it one by one: "Where is it? It's good to come this time, saying that I'm going to fight, and I can't come for a long time. If you fight, you will fight, and you will not be considerate of the little princess's feelings, can't you say a few sweet words to say goodbye? Otherwise, it's good to wait for me to come back. It's really infuriating to say nothing!"
"Oh, don't get him wrong. The man has ambitions in all directions, and he should be loyal to the country. ”
Xia Yunzhi heard that the palace maids were all counting Chu Han, and immediately couldn't help but speak out to argue for him. But it's okay not to say this, but the palace maids are even more indignant. One by one, they all looked at their worries, and they all showed an expression of "Look, I knew it would be like this".
Forgetting his worries and smiling, he couldn't help but shake his head, knowing in his heart.
"Then it seems that my sister is reluctant, right?"
The little princess pursed her lips and remained silent, but her expression had already informed the answer. The palace maids were not as tolerant as her, so they replied: "No, although General Chu is famous, he has no eyes in a battle, how dangerous it is." But the little general is the deputy commander of the Snow Country, and once His Majesty gives the order, he will have to go. The little princess was reluctant in her heart, but so what, she couldn't just watch him leave. Hey, I don't know when I'll be back......"
The more the topic is talked, the more sentimental it becomes, and there are other palace maids who are clever, so they hurriedly stopped in time. Knowing that this girl who forgets worries has the ability to persuade people, and also knows that the little princess never speaks of the bitterness in her heart, maybe she can talk to her when she sees the girl who forgets her worries. retired one by one, leaving her and the little princess alone.
Sure enough, as soon as the little palace maids left, before they could speak, they saw Xia Yunzhi sniffing, pretending to be strong and muttering with a smile: "Sister, in fact, don't look at me as stupid on weekdays, I know a lot of things in my heart." I am the princess of the Night Country, and I took the initiative to come to this Snow Country, which was already a shameless thing for my father and emperor, and made people think that I was shameless. But there is no way, who makes me just like Chu Han. I've been obedient and well-behaved all my life, but this one is very willful. My father favored me, so he didn't have a problem with me, and even ignored my aunt, who was respected as the queen of the country in Mingguo, and privately fought against the Snow Country coalition against Mingguo. ”
Forget to worry and look at the lovely person with a round face in front of her, seeing her hanging her head and whispering, obviously saying all bitterness, but the corners of her mouth kept raising a faint smile, as if she was not hurt at all.
I've been with her for a while, and I know that this girl is a good girl with a pure heart. The snow spiritbird in the plum tree flew about all day long, and brought with her a lot of idle chores to tell her as a story. Among them, the little general named Chu Han was also occasionally mentioned. She had never been in contact with the little general, but she had only heard about his acquaintance with Xia Yunzhi, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was just a scam.
"As for Chu Han, in fact, I also know that he may not really like me. ”
The little princess grinned, as if laughing at herself, but also as if comforting herself. "He approached me in the first place, perhaps with some kind of purpose. Later, when I came to Snow Country, this feeling became stronger and stronger. He's a man, cold, like a piece of wood. Every time he came to see me, he couldn't say a few words. But even so, he would come over every once in a while, and every time he came, even if he didn't say anything, he would sit in the courtyard for a long time before leaving. ”
Xia Yunzhi fell into the memory, forgot her worries and didn't interrupt her, just sat next to her and listened to her slowly.
"At first, I was still deceiving myself, thinking that maybe he was just that. I just want to look at me a few more times, even if I don't say anything. But after a long time, I couldn't lie to myself. Because, he's never looked at me squarely, and occasionally when our eyes collide, he always avoids it, as if he's afraid of something. ”
The little princess always hung her head, but when she said this, she smiled happily as if she remembered something. Forget to worry and know, she has been reckless. Because even though the corners of his mouth are raised, his voice has long been choked.
"Sister, the palace maids all say that I am stupid and easy to deceive, but in fact, they are easy to deceive. Because they only thought that General Chu Xiao was incomprehensible, and I knew that all this was fake, and he didn't love me at all. Snow Country has been planning for a long time and wants to fight against Ming Country. However, the number of troops is limited, and it can only be relied on by the Night Country. My father didn't know what kind of friendship he had with the leading commander of the Snow Country, but he actually agreed to him. But they were afraid that their father would regret it in the future, so they used Chu Han to contain me. As long as I am restrained, my father will naturally be restrained. I know all of this, but... But ......"
Xia Yunzhi raised her head to look at Forget Worries, and saw that she smiled at herself, as if she had already understood. I couldn't help but feel a sour nose, and tears kept sliding down my eyes like pearls with broken threads.
"But even so, even though I knew he was just using me, I still... Still like him......"
