Manchu civil and military bow down

— Give a result.

The plum blossom was blooming in her small and white palm, Princess Zhaomin smiled and scattered it on the ground, but the smile couldn't be seen in her eyes.

Her eyes were full of exhaustion.

After a long silence, Princess Zhaomin said slowly, "I let mother down this time."

Xu He was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what was going on with her daughter's family.It's just that he suddenly recalled the monk's nonsense when he first met Wonton Puli.

Ji Xingzhi... cannot marry a wife for the rest of his life.

Zhao Min said softly: "He said that he would never be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life."

The wind and snow rolled across the land.

Xu He raised his head in shock, his expression was indescribable.

Princess Zhaomin looked at him and said with a smile: "This trip to Xuanzhou is the first time I get along with him. He treats me very well and respectfully. After I told him my heart, he also returned. Very straightforward, he said..." Zhao Min smiled, "He said the princess fell in love with her wrongly. She fell in love with her wrongly. A woman at this age can withstand a few years of waiting. What mother said is right, I was dazed gone."

Xu He didn't know what to say, "Sister..."

Zhaomin stopped him: "Don't, don't comfort me. I'm afraid that if you say a few more words, I'll cry on the spot."

Xu He felt a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, having a crush on this kind of thing is more painful than happy.

After returning to Heshan Academy, Princess Zhaomin's arrival caused a great commotion.

Regardless of the imminent spring exam, the students put down their books and hid helplessly by the roadside and in front of the window, just for the sake of a beautiful face of "Shuangshu in the capital".

But Xu He didn't give them a chance to see it at all. Seeing that sister was in a bad mood, he took a shortcut and took her to the house to keep warm.

Along the way, a handful of snow fell from a tree. Zhaomin caught it with his hands, not too cold, and watched the snow melt between his fingers.

After returning to the room, Zhaomin took off his cloak, took the stove handed over by Xu He, and stared at the window for a long time.

The snow has been falling outside the window, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness, even the outline of the mountain is hidden in the sky.

Xu He warmed up the tea and gave it to her.

Zhao Min gave a pale smile, took over and said, "Since when have you been so caring?"

Xu He: "Be careful it burns."

Zhao Min took a sip lightly, and his expression recovered a little.

She cleared up her mood and waved to Xu He.

Xu He sat next to her.

Listen to her say: "You may not stay in Jinzhou for a year."

Xu He was slightly startled: "What's wrong?"

Whether he can stay in Jinzhou for a full year is second to none. The task given by the system only says to be an official in Jinzhou, and there is no limit.

He was more worried about what happened in the capital?

Zhao Min said: "The empress has been ill for nearly two years, and her condition has become more and more serious. Now that the Su family is in full swing in the capital, if the empress falls, Su Peiyu may be the first to take the stage."

"what?"

Xu He stared wide-eyed: "Impossible." The Su family has left him such a deep impression over the past few years that it's impossible to say that he doesn't understand, "It's not the Su family's turn anyway, Gu Jiarong The imperial concubine is not still there."

Zhaomin shook his head and said, "As for the incident in Jinzhou a few months ago, Concubine Rong was implicated, and she is still grounded."

Xu He: "..."

Zhaomin said: "I'm afraid that the capital city will not be peaceful for a while. But no matter what, you'd better go back to Beijing first, just stay here, mother, don't worry."

Xu He didn't really understand why he was involved.But Princess Zhaomin's expression was extremely serious, and the eldest princess must have taken care of everything more than him.

Xu He said: "... Let's do it, when does mother want me to return to Beijing?"

Princess Zhaomin smiled, "Next spring, don't the students of Heshan Academy go to Beijing to catch the exam, so you can go with them and take care of them." She sighed, a little unbearable and uncomfortable, "I don't know about the empress, How long can it last?"

Xu He asked: "Did you find out what's wrong?"

Princess Zhaomin shook her head.

Princess Zhaomin gradually became sleepy. Xu He thought that she must be very tired after a long journey, so he left first to let her have a good rest.

After closing the door, Xu He raised his head to look at the cloudy sky, and frowned slightly.

He has completed one of the main quests, the women's clothing, for more than a year, but the second quest has not been refreshed.

Back in the room, Xu He dug out from the drawer the first thing he made in this world, the Rubik's Cube.

Colorful, familiar and strange.

Xu He held it up and looked at it.

Probably because he came here with a mission and knew that he would leave sooner or later, so he didn't care much about many things in this world.Whether it's the treacherous situation among the major families in the capital, or the open and secret struggles among the concubines in the harem, he has never paid attention to it seriously.

The system said it kept him and those around him safe.Since these fights are not related to him and the people around him, there is actually no need to care about them.

Xu He lay down on the table dejectedly, and sighed.

Sooner or later you have to leave.

If that day does come.

What he is most reluctant to part with should be his family and friends in this world.

If he is gone, will the eldest princess be very sad?

Surely it will.

Xu He suddenly remembered that the words he bestowed on that foreign boy back then meant that his peace of mind was my hometown.

Perhaps this sentence should also be said to myself.

*

Sure enough, the eldest princess sent a letter in person, and when he arrived at Heshan Academy, he would go to Beijing with the students in January.

In addition, there is another person accompanying.

That person was the Seventh Miss of the Gongsun family who came to pick her up at the beginning of the day but was delayed because of the pain of losing her mother.

She also returned to Beijing this spring.

Xu He met this Miss Gongsun for the first time, thanks to Gongsun He.

He came to Gongsun's house as a guest, but Gongsun He knew he was a man, so he kept pestering him endlessly, as if his mind was flooded.He was so annoyed that he ran to the backyard and saw the little girl in front of the Gongsun family's ancestral hall by mistake.

Heavy snow in deep winter.

The cold wind stings the skin.

And that Miss Gongsun, all in white, knelt quietly in the ancestral hall.

The door was wide open, and the wind blew wildly, and snow mixed with mud and sand fell all over her head.

Miss Gongsun was thin and thin, kneeling in the wind and snow like this, Xu He was always worried that she would fall down.

Outside the ancestral hall, there was a worried old slave standing.Holding an umbrella, he looked anxious and worried.

Xu He walked over and realized that the old slave was Miss Gongsun Qi's wet nurse.She waited here for a whole morning, and the lady knelt for a whole morning.

"Miss, she just refuses to leave. It's useless to say what I say, she just won't listen, alas."

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

Xu He also waited outside and stood still.

While he was waiting, the young lady noticed the movement and turned her head. She had plain white temples by her ears, black hair and white clothes, her eyes were out of focus, looking at each other through the wind and snow, this young lady was like a withered tree in the wind and snow. Tree.

Obviously, she is only 12 years old.

Miss Gongsun has a withdrawn personality, and she has been dumb for seven years according to the nanny.I don't like strangers, I don't like excitement, I like to stay alone in the corner.

Xu He was a little curious, but out of respect, he didn't get in touch with this Miss Gongsun too much.

What he didn't expect was that.

On the way back to Beijing.

The second mission, which has not appeared for a long time, has been refreshed.

*

The cause was still that Miss Bai.

When passing through the official road, it was late at night, so everyone stopped to have a rest.

The official road is in a mountain forest, and it is not a day or two for bandits to run rampant here in Jinzhou. In such a short period of time, the government cannot completely solve it.

Afraid of accidents, Xu He paid extra attention, and followed his fellow guards to pay attention to his surroundings.

It's just midnight.

Still had an accident.

The nurse's cry sounded in the middle of the night, breaking the calm.

The students opened the curtains sleepily, their faces impatient, "Why are you crying in the middle of the night, it's so noisy!"

Xu He was also sleepy, but it was normal for him to stay up late, and he woke up a lot when the cold wind blew, and saw the nanny crying out of breath, flustered and desperate, seeing Xu He was like seeing a savior , rushed over at once.

Kneeling on the ground, tugging at his sleeve, weeping: "My lord! Help my lady! Help my lady! My lady is missing, woo woo woo, in the middle of the night, everything is gone, I wake up When we came, there was no one around!"

Xu He's brain ached from her crying. After hearing it clearly, his heart sank. His eyes were like lightning, and he looked at the guard guarding the sedan chair, "What are you doing?"

The guard's face paled and he knelt down, "My lord, I don't know about my little one, Gongsun...Miss Bai suddenly got out of the car in the middle of the night and walked towards the forest without saying a word. We wanted to follow, but Miss Bai stared at me." Come here, little one... I thought that Miss Bai was going to solve an urgent matter, so she didn't follow."

Another guard was also terrified, "We were afraid that something might happen to her, so we didn't dare to go far, but during the time we stayed here, there was really no sound from here. After Miss Bai wakes up, go look for her, search all over the place. In this area, we found out that Miss Bai is missing."
