The author and protagonist HE [Transmigration Book]

What do you mean by "staying here for you"?

Before Pei Qiuyue could find out the answer to this question, Hua Feixue and Xiao Xiao had already run away.

It's not that they decided to elope on a whim, but went out to travel together in the palace together.

It has nothing to do with Pei Qiuyue's questioning.

Instead, the news of a disaster somewhere in Xuefu country was reported to the emperor.

Hua Feixue has started to participate in politics in the past few years, and she also attended related reports at that time.

It was near the border of Xuefu Country, and it was far away from the capital. An earthquake happened just a few days ago, causing many people to be displaced.

Fortunately, the local officials fulfilled their duties, contacted the surrounding less severely affected areas as soon as possible, and properly arranged for the surviving victims.

By the time the news was reported, the action to rescue the victims had basically been completed. I just hoped that the higher authorities could allocate some manpower and relief to help them rebuild their homes.

Because that town is not an earthquake-prone area, and there has not been a decent major earthquake in the past hundreds of years, so the local people didn't pay attention to it, and they were negligent in preventing it, resulting in heavy losses.

Although the local officials were very capable, it was after the accident. Many people died on the spot in the earthquake, and countless families were separated from their wives and yin and yang.

Heavy casualties.

After hearing the report, the emperor couldn't help being silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply.

In the end, of course, manpower and silver were allotted as promised.

But those who have passed away will never come back.

Hua Feixue heard that his father and the people around him were so emotional.

Of course the ministers wanted to comfort him, first praising the official who knew how to be an official and serving the people, and then praising the emperor for appointing people on their merits, having a vicious vision, being kind and fraternal, and caring for the world, which is the blessing of the people all over the world, so that the victims of the disaster must remember it...

It sounds like flattery, but it can be regarded as the truth.

This emperor is not a wise emperor through the ages, but he is by no means a tyrant who cares nothing about the lives of the people.

Apart from being a bit uninspired in terms of land expansion, political | reform, reform, etc., there is nothing wrong with it.

Hua Feixue thought a lot, but felt that she was not even as good as her father.

Back then, the emperor often went to the disaster-stricken areas to express his condolences, and occasionally made private visits in micro-services to show compassion for the people.

Although a large part of the cases are private affairs, I just want to take the queen out for honeymoon.

But at any rate, it didn't delay him from doing some practical things.

And Hua Feixue has lived in the deep palace almost since birth, and occasionally going out is to borrow the identity of the young lady, so she can come and go freely in the capital.

After all, it is too far away from the real people.

An idea came to Hua Feixue's mind, and she began to think about putting it into practice.

She wants to go out to practice alone.

The emperor and queen naturally refused to allow it at the beginning, but after all kinds of persuasion failed, they would inevitably choose to compromise.

The two gave Hua Feixue a two-year deadline—of course, they also reminded her to go back to the palace from time to time to have a look, as well as two props and treasures from the private storehouse for her to save her life when she was away from home.

During that time, the Pei family had some matters to deal with, and when Pei Qiuyue found out about it, Hua Feixue had quickly dealt with all the follow-up, and walked out of the palace gate as soon as she lifted her foot.

Xiao Xiao ran secretly behind Hua Feixue's butt.

When Pei Qiuyue entered the palace, she happened to run into the elders of the temple. When she saw the emperor and empress, she burst into tears, beat her chest and said that their saintess had run away again.

Seeing that he was crying pitifully, the emperor comforted him sympathetically: "Don't worry, she is going out with the princess, so don't worry about her safety."

There is no mention of getting people back.

The elder cried louder.

On the other side, Hua Feixue didn't realize that Xiao Xiao had been following her until she left the palace gate.

"I'm going out to practice, to endure hardship." Hua Feixue straightened her face, trying to persuade Xiao Xiao to go back, "I'm not going out to enjoy the scenery."

So I didn't leave her on purpose.

Xiao Xiao then said: "Then I will accompany you to practice together, I haven't seen other places in Xuefu Kingdom yet."

"I can take you to see it if I have a chance in the future, but this time it's best not to be brave." Hua Feixue said seriously, "This time the road may be very dangerous."

Xiao Xiao remained unmoved: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Hua Feixue: "..."

She didn't really want to remind Xiao Xiao that Xiao Xiao was always the one with the lowest grades, whether it was practicing martial arts or reading and calligraphy.

Although there are only three or four students in total.

When you are away from home, it is obvious who protects whom.

But Hua Feixue did not reject this point.

For her, protecting Xiao Xiao is a matter of course.

It's just that the situation outside is changing rapidly, she is worried that she won't be able to protect Xiao Xiao alone, and instead put her in danger, so she hesitates.

However, Xiao Xiao obviously had no plans to go back, not to mention that she could swear by promises such as "protection", so Hua Feixue felt that she had no reason to die.

Young people do things on impulse, so Hua Feixue was also dazzled by the novelty of going out, and took Xiao Xiao on the road together.

Hua Feixue didn't have a specific destination, but just picked a certain direction at random and kept going.

When they reached the third town, the sky was getting dark, and the two finally remembered to find the inn.

Xiao Xiao didn't think it was important to spend the night in the field, but Hua Feixue felt that it was inconvenient to do anything in the field, so it was better to stay in a hotel.

The two didn't even argue for a few words, Xiao Xiao agreed to Hua Feixue's proposal.

This town looks quite prosperous, and many of the people coming and going are wearing heavy coats, and some of them seem to be from other places.

Naturally, there are quite a few inns that accept guests. Hua Feixue still remembered to keep a low profile when going out, so she picked an ordinary inn and asked for a room.

The shopkeeper, who was dozing behind the counter, raised his eyelids and looked at the two of them for a moment. His eyes lit up slightly, and then he returned to his original sleepy appearance.

"Go upstairs and turn left and go to the room on the left of the head." The shopkeeper lazily pushed out the room sign.

"Thank you." Hua Feixue pulled Xiao Xiao upstairs.

Xiao Xiao glanced down when she passed the corner of the stairs.

He was facing the gaze cast by the head master.

After a while, the headmaster looked away as if nothing had happened, and lazily returned to the counter.

"I don't think the environment here is very good."

Hua Feixue who pushed open the door agreed with Xiao Xiao's point of view.

It is said to be the upper room, but the room is narrow, there is only a bed, a table, a cabinet, a few stools, and a washstand, and there is not much space left for walking.

The door and the cabinet were covered with dust, and two cobwebs were formed in the corner of the wall, and one could smell the choking smell of smoke and dust every step of the way.

Fortunately, the bed had just been changed, and it still looked clean, but it was inevitably a little dusty due to the draft generated when the door was opened.

Might as well spend the night in the wild.

Xiao Xiao slandered inwardly.

Hua Feixue also froze. She had never lived in such a simple room since she was a child, but she still remembered that she was going out to practice, and she was already mentally prepared, so she did some self-construction in her heart and felt relieved. He took a deep breath and endured it.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so let's spend the night first."

"But there's only one bed, and it's so small, can two people sleep in it..."

As he was talking, the waiter from the shop below knocked on the door, and entered the door with a dish in his hand, and put a few small dishes on the table.

"Guest officers, this is a side dish presented by our shop. Please use it slowly. If you need anything else, just call me."

While talking, the waiter rolled his eyes and looked at the two people in the room.

It wasn't until Hua Feixue frowned impatiently and glanced over coldly that he quickly lowered his head and backed out with the plate in his arms.

Even a fool can see that this store is not serious.

But they had asked passers-by before they went in, and they hadn't heard of any unforgivable black spots in this store. It was just that the interior was a little dilapidated and the quality of the staff was a little poor.

Hua Feixue just went out and didn't want to cause trouble, so she frowned and endured it.

"I think this is a black shop." Xiao Xiao guessed solemnly.

She was fiddling with the side dishes on the table. They looked pretty good, but they didn't feel very fresh.

The two of them had already eaten before they came, and they were not hungry, so Xiao Xiao just fiddled with it, but did not eat.

This dilapidated upper room only has the basic function of sleeping.

"Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." Hua Feixue sat down beside the bed after a long time of mental preparation.

Fortunately, there was only a thin layer of dust on the top of the bed quilt, and the bottom was still clean after being patted off. After a brief wash, the two squeezed into the narrow bed one by one.

The bed was narrower than they imagined, not because the bed itself was small, but because the bed was against the wall, there was dust on the wall, and the edge of the bed was not very clean, so the two had to squeeze sideways to sleep together.

Anyway, sleeping in the same bed was commonplace when I was a child.

They comforted themselves like this, but they couldn't calm down completely.

At that time, I was just a child after all, but now...

He has even reached the age of talking about marriage, and not long ago there was a hint of going beyond "ordinary friendship".

The other party's body temperature was transmitted through the clothes, followed by the thumping heartbeat, which became more and more clear in the crowded and narrow room.

Before I knew it, no one spoke.

But no one was asleep either.

"Axue..."

Xiao Xiao let out a low cry, Hua Feixue's body froze, only then did she realize that she had unconsciously stuck to the opponent's body.

Hua Feixue's body temperature is on the low side. Although she is resistant to cold, she prefers the feeling of warmth. Xiao Xiao is exactly the opposite of her. She doesn't know why she is always warm like a stove even though she is very afraid of the cold.

When she was a child, Hua Feixue often used Xiao Xiao as a hug pillow subconsciously, and she always maintained a hugging posture after waking up.

At first Hua Feixue was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Xiao never minded, and this delicate posture lasted for a long time.

It seems that this habit is still difficult to change after growing up.

It was rare for Hua Feixue to feel a little bit ashamed, but she still pretended to be calm, thinking about this store in a panic, she made up an excuse at will.

"I'll sleep outside." Hua Feixue said, "It's safer to sleep inside to prevent bad guys from sneaking up."

As she spoke, Hua Feixue crossed Xiao Xiao's shoulders and propped herself on the bed, trying to pass her to the outside.

She was afraid of accidentally touching the dust, so she was extra careful and moved a little bit to the outside.

Before she could step over, Xiao Xiao suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The strength wasn't too heavy, but it stopped Hua Feixue's next move.

Hua Feixue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, and saw Xiao Xiao winked at her with a very concerned expression.

"That won't work. I said I want to protect you. How can I let you face the danger alone."

Hua Feixue once suspected that this was just a temporary excuse.

Just like the excuse she made up casually.

However, before she had time to say anything else, Xiao Xiao suddenly exerted some strength in his hand, Hua Feixue was unprepared, lost his balance, and fell onto Xiao Xiao's body unexpectedly.

"Boom-"

There was a muffled sound, and the heads of the two hit one place.

Hua Feixue's head was a little dizzy from being hit, and after finally stabilizing her vision, she saw Xiao Xiao's eyes very close at hand.

There was no light in the room, only a little moonlight leaked in through the cracks in the window, but Xiao Xiao's eyes were astonishingly bright.

Hua Feixue was so watched that her heart skipped a beat, and she paused for a few seconds before remembering to get up, but Xiao Xiao had already caught up with her one step ahead.

With hands and mouth.

Warm hands pressed the back of Hua Feixue's neck, forcing her to lower her head again, and greeted her with a kiss.

on the lips.
