The author and protagonist HE [Transmigration Book]

"Cher?"

The queen yelled several times in succession before Hua Feixue came back to her senses.

"Queen, what's the matter?" Hua Feixue looked blankly at the queen next to her.

"It seems that you have been distracted, but is there any discomfort?" The queen asked gently.

Hua Feixue worked hard to straighten her face, and shook her head seriously.

Perhaps amused by her pretending seriousness, the queen burst out laughing, reaching out and rubbing her cheeks twice.

The fingertips are warm and soft, and the touch on the cheek is also very vivid.

But a little strange.

After the queen let go of her hand, Hua Feixue stretched out her hand to touch the position of her cheek in some confusion, staring into the distance again in a daze.

The maid had come to report earlier, saying that Her Highness the Princess didn't sleep much all night in order to wait for the empress to return to the palace, and she woke up early in the morning and asked someone to bring her over in a daze.

The queen touched her daughter's forehead, seeing that there was no abnormal heat, she was relieved.

Probably did not wake up.

Hua Feixue also felt that she might not have woken up.

Obviously everything seemed normal, she didn't lose any memory, didn't encounter any crisis, and she didn't even leave the palace gate.

But she had a deep sense of exhaustion, as if brought out from the depths of her soul.

In a trance, she felt that everything seemed unreal.

As for what's not true...

Nothing seemed real anywhere.

Hua Feixue is eight years old this year. She is the only Royal Highness Princess of Xuefu Kingdom and the future heir.

She has an elder brother above her, who was the adopted son of the emperor and empress before she was born.

This elder brother was originally born in the clan, but his parents died early. He is not a few years younger than Hua Feixue. He has a gentle personality and has kept his duty since he was a child.

Of course, both of them were still young at this time, and they couldn't talk about such serious things.

Further up, the emperor and the empress are well-known loving couples, apart from a few comments from the government and the public because of the empress's delay in giving birth in the early years, there are no other conflicts.

Later, the emperor did not accept the concubine despite the pressure. With the birth of the adoptive son and the princess, those voices gradually faded away.

Now there is only a family of four living in the harem. Occasionally, the two ladies from Pei's mansion will be taken in for a short stay.

The relationship between Hua Feixue and the two cousins ​​of the Pei family has always been very close, especially Pei Qiuyue, who attend classes and study together, almost eat and live together, and the relationship is a little closer than ordinary people.

In addition, there are also many contacts with the sons and daughters of the minister's family, and there are also two or three close friends.

Looking outside, the whole world is too peaceful at present, with people coming and going from time to time, and wars are decades ago.

Moreover, Xuefu Country is located in a dangerous place and its national strength is strong. As long as Hua Feixue is not too stupid, the future is almost a bright and smooth road.

What's more, Hua Feixue was already extremely talented.

If you say "His Royal Highness is the happiest person in Xuefu Kingdom", perhaps no one will object at all.

——Even Hua Feixue couldn't do it herself.

But it is precisely because of this that everything seems illusory like a dream, which is unbelievable.

"Xue'er." The queen called softly again.

"...Huh?" Hua Feixue looked up blankly.

"If you're tired, sleep here for a while." The queen held her in her arms, patted her on the back lightly, "The queen will accompany you."

Mother's embrace was too warm, and her voice was unbelievably gentle.

Hua Feixue was stunned for a moment, but sleepiness gradually emerged.

She yawned and gradually fell asleep.

In the dream is the endless snowstorm.

"I always feel like I'm forgetting something."

After the two children finished their homework in the study room, they started chatting on the table.

Pei Qiuyue turned a page of the book and helped Hua Feixue to think about it: "Is it because Miss Zhong asked you to enjoy the flowers? Didn't you say that it was only a few days ago?"

Hua Feixue shook her head: "Yesterday she said that she was resting at home due to the cold and would not go out."

Pei Qiuyue continued to speculate: "Perhaps you forgot to give her the gift you prepared for the empress?"

Obviously not at all for this reason.

It would be better to say that Hua Feixue was just looking forward to her mother's return to the palace blindly, and completely forgot about preparing gifts.

Pei Qiuyue guessed around inside and outside the palace, Hua Feixue could only shake her head, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Could it be just your illusion?" Pei Qiuyue said, "Or do you have a more specific feeling, Axue—forgot something and didn't do it, or forgot something?"

Hua Feixue frowned and thought for a long time. What flashed through her mind was chaotic and fragmented pictures, and she couldn't piece together any hints at all.

"I don't know. It's just a feeling..." Hua Feixue tried to describe the subtle feeling, "It's like being in a dream, everything feels strange and fake, sometimes I can't tell the difference Make sure you're still awake."

Everything around her made her feel at a loss.

Her father and queen's love for her made her feel happy, but she always felt uneasy.

She couldn't tell where that feeling came from, and she couldn't tell her loving parents at all.

So she could only confide her heart to Pei Qiuyue, who was her peer and trusted.

Pei Qiuyue has always had a good temper, neither impatient nor feeling that Her Royal Highness is being hypocritical out of the blue, and after thinking for a while, she gave advice from other aspects.

"Is it because you are too tired from your homework recently? Or you are too tired from cultivation, why don't you ask Master for a period of time off and take a good rest."

Hua Feixue is extremely talented and deeply loved, but she doesn't have the squeamishness of being a princess at all.

On the contrary, she is more diligent and diligent than her peers in every aspect, so that others are worried that she will be too tired.

Especially when the queen was not in the palace some time ago, no one persuaded Hua Feixue, so she became even more addicted to it.

It's been a long time since Pei Qiuyue saw her take time out to play, she didn't even step out of the gate of her own palace, let alone mention the palace to go to other places to relax.

She felt that Hua Feixue's recent anomalies might just be due to pushing herself too hard.

"Speaking of which, it will be time for folk festivals in a few days. Would you like to go out and relax? I heard there will be a lantern show."

Children are always full of interest in these delicate things.

The folk festival is only held every few years, and Hua Feixue doesn't have any part related to it in his memory, so after thinking for a while, he nodded in response.

The emperor and empress did not object to Hua Feixue going out of the palace to play, but repeatedly told him to bring guards and pay attention to safety.

Hua Feixue hadn't rebelled to that extent yet, she had made complete preparations before leaving the palace.

Pei Qiuyue stayed with her in the palace, and was going to go out with her to play with her at that time.

Because she often enters the palace, Hua Feixue's palace also specially reserved a place for Pei Qiuyue to live. It is quiet and elegant, and there is a small garden outside.

On a sunny night, the moonlight was as bright as day.

Pei Qiuyue drank too much tea during the day, and couldn't sleep at night, so she simply put on her clothes and got up to watch the moon.

When she walked to the small garden, she accidentally saw a figure looming beyond the shadows of trees.

Approaching boldly, she realized that it was Hua Feixue sitting on the corridor, staring up at the moon in a daze.

The appearance of an eight-year-old child, leaning on the corridor against the wall, with an incompatible wine glass and long sword in hand, this scene is really surprising.

"Axue?" Pei Qiuyue called out.

Hua Feixue raised her head in a daze, as if she didn't notice the arrival of the second person.

"Axue, Your Royal Highness—"

When Pei Qiuyue walked to her side, Hua Feixue suddenly turned her head to stare at her, and murmured something.

"It doesn't seem so."

Pei Qiuyue listened intently before she could barely figure out what that sentence was.

"What's wrong?" Pei Qiuyue asked.

Hua Feixue didn't answer, she just stared at the wine glass in a daze.

Pei Qiuyue sat down next to her, looked at Hua Feixue's side face, and always felt that her state was a bit like sleepwalking, immersed in her own world, ignorant of the outside world.

"...What's missing." Hua Feixue pressed her heart.

Pei Qiuyue didn't answer.

Maybe it's because she doesn't know how to respond——

On rare occasions, she sometimes felt this way.

But that feeling disappeared very quickly, so fast that she couldn't tell if it was her own illusion.

And those moments are becoming rarer and rarer.

Maybe it's just because I've been so tired lately.

Pei Qiuyue thought so.

It will be fine after a while.

The day of the ceremony arrived in a few days, and even Pei Qiuyue couldn't hide her excitement and anticipation, and naturally those illusory feelings were temporarily forgotten.

The emperor and the empress happened to have a banquet that night, so they could only repeatedly ask them to pay attention to safety before leaving.

They were followed by elite guards disguised as domestic servants, and the range of play was only in the capital, but parents always inevitably cared too much.

"I'm not a child anymore." Hua Feixue's solemn declaration would only make adults laugh.

The queen covered her lips and chuckled twice, and pinched her daughter's face, finally she wasn't so overly nervous.

"Come back early." The queen said, "The queen mother is waiting for you in the palace."

Hua Feixue looked up at her mother's gentle face, and for some reason, she lost her mind again, and the base of her ears blushed unconsciously.

Her mother's unreserved concern also made her feel a little embarrassed, and she was stunned for a moment before she nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

Pei Qiuyue was also ordered to say a few words at the same time, and of course the warnings received by the guards were the most serious.

By the time they left the palace gate, it was already getting dark.

Few folks have seen the true faces of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Second Miss of Pei's Mansion, so they don't cover up, blend in with the crowd openly, and at most don't take seriously the identity of a disguised rich lady.

The festival is held every few years, which is rare, so the streets are very lively.

Xuefu Country is always severely cold, which is unbearable for ordinary people. Therefore, almost all civilians have some cultivation background, and they don’t feel cold when they put on outerwear. Few of them wrap themselves into a ball when walking on the street.

At a glance, people are coming and going, but it doesn't seem crowded.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, just when Hua Feixue and Pei Qiuyue had their eyes on a certain lantern stall and were about to walk over, they heard a loud noise coming from afar.

"stop!"

"Don't run!"

"Get her now!"

A few adult men in fatigues squeezed through the crowd and rushed against the flow of people, as if they were chasing someone.

Pedestrians screamed and dodged, and some of them couldn't dodge enough to be knocked to the ground.

There was someone knocked down in front of Pei Qiuyue, who blocked the way and was almost affected.

The guard hurried to the front of the two of them, looking at the men warily.

The men stood in the middle of the road, not disturbing the tourists' sense of interest at all, and scanning left and right were completely looking for the objects they were arresting.

But the crowd around them were already panicked by fright, and the figures running back and forth were in a mess, and it was not conscious at all to find the target among them.

"Grand-Axue!" Pei Qiuyue called out in a low voice.

Hua Feixue made a silent gesture to her, and quietly moved a little to the side.

Just as she moved into the void of the crowd, a round, snow-white ball plunged into her arms.

"Boom-"

With a muffled sound, Hua Feixue was knocked back a little, but she didn't let go, instead hugged the ball.

After finally stabilizing his figure, the "ball" began to struggle.

Hua Feixue lowered her head, and was facing the angry eyes that the other party glanced over.

Before he could think about it, he heard those handymen who were stopped say angrily: "That is the new saint of our temple, if you lose it, none of you can afford it!"
