I see the snow

In the next few nights, Qin Yi also went to sleep in Mu Ziling's palace.

"It's still raining, so I come to accompany you alone."

Qin Yi looked at Mu Ziling who was eating, and his eyes lit up when he saw his figure, and said with a smile, "What are you doing here, go, and finish eating properly."

When Qin Yi came in, he was afraid of alarming Mu Ziling, so he never asked anyone to inform him.

He has always been doing whatever he is doing, so he will continue to do it, and he doesn't need to salute.

However, Mu Ziling ran over and hugged him immediately, and put his small head in front of Qin Yi, like a little beast.

Qin Yi touched the top of his hair, took Mu Ziling's hand, and brought him back to the table.

"Is this what you like to eat?"

Qin Yi smiled and asked: "Sweet and sour carp ridge, osmanthus fried glutinous rice cakes, bamboo shoot short ribs..."

He counted them one by one, and finally concluded: "It's all sweet."

"When Gu Xiang was your age, he also liked to eat sweets."

Qin Yi said: "But if you eat too much, it's not good for your teeth."

Mu Ziling looked at him with dark eyes, as if waiting for Qin Yi to say something next.

Qin Yi was unmoved, and sure enough, he continued: "Hold the water, and serve Mr. Mu to eat in the future. Don't add sugar without restraint."

The palace attendants at the side bowed their heads and said in response, "Yes."

After saying this, he looked at Mu Ziling again, but Mu Ziling no longer looked at him.

He was lying on the table, staring at the food, as if he was a little unhappy, and he didn't say a word.

Qin Yi then laughed and said, "Angry? It's not good to be lonely, and I will break your sweetness as soon as I come."

"Next time you don't like Gulai."

However, Mu Ziling rested his chin on the back of his hand and said sullenly, "No."

"Really do not have?"

As Qin Yi spoke, he went to pull Mu Ziling's hand, and when he got it, he scratched his creaking nest——

It was clear that he still had a serious look on his face, but as soon as he moved, he scratched Mu Ziling into a ball, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

Qin Yi said, "Aren't you angry now?"

He picked up Mu Ziling, who was in a ball of laughter, and while tugging, he encountered a cold and flexible thing, which suddenly fell out of Mu Ziling's arms.

"ah--"

The palace man next to him was startled, stepped back a few feet in fright, and shouted: "Escort!!"

Several guards with knives rushed in and stood in front of Qin Yi, as if they were facing an enemy.

But the "assassin" was also startled by Qin Yi's posture, and quickly crawled back into Mu Ziling's clothes, then stretched out his head, and looked at Qin Yi warily.

Qin Yi: "..."

Mu Ziling: "..."

After a while, Qin Yi asked in disbelief, "...a snake?"

Mu Ziling gave a low "hmm" and said, "It's called Ah Zhu."

It goes without saying where this thing came from, but Qin Yi never expected that Mu Ziling would carry it with him for so long without anyone finding out.

"Forget it, it's okay."

Qin Yi waved his hand, smiled helplessly and said, "Let's all step back. Don't make this matter public, and anyone who dares to go out and talk nonsense will be severely punished."

The group of people who had just mobilized the crowd went out immediately, and only Qin Yi and Mu Ziling were left.

"Brought from Yunyan?"

Qin Yi turned his head to look at Mu Ziling and asked.

Mu Ziling lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, as if he felt that Qin Yi was about to get angry, so he let out a muffled "hmm".

"It's not a big deal."

Qin Yi said, "But why didn't you tell Gu?"

"Would you hate me?"

Suddenly, Mu Ziling raised his head, looked at him and asked.

This seemed to be a question that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, and it was only now that he finally asked it.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Why? What are you thinking?"

"I'm not like you."

However, Mu Ziling said in a low voice: "I am from Yunyan...and, I am Gong Ziyin."

Half a month ago, when Mu Ziling first came to Liang Cheng, he had dinner with Qin Yi for the first time.

Qin Yi picked up some food for him and put it in his bowl.Mu Ziling was stunned for a moment, but still hesitated to eat it.

After a while, he put the food in the bowl in front of Qin Yi again, indicating that he could eat.

At that time, Qin Yi and the palace people were all stunned, not knowing what Mu Ziling meant.

However, Mu Ziling also looked at them with a frown, not knowing what they meant.

After a while, Mu Ziling tentatively said, "It's not poisonous."

——In Yunyan, if you are ordered to eat with the prince and prince, it usually means that you are a "poison servant."

Every meal that the king has eaten must be tried by them, and it must be eaten after it is not poisonous.

In the past, Mu Ziling once worked as a poison servant for Mu Huai'an.

So, just now, when Qin Yi asked Mu Ziling to eat with him, and brought him some food, Mu Ziling was stunned for a moment, with a hurt look in his eyes, but he accepted it immediately.

"Gu doesn't mean that."

At that time, Qin Yi smiled and pulled him into his arms, comforting him: "Little fool, I told you to eat together, that is to eat together. In Liang Cheng, no one can use poison in the palace."

But Mu Ziling still cared about this matter, and was in a daze for a long time when no one was around.

The environment in which he grew up in his childhood made him have a very sensitive mind——

In life, it is usually not poverty, discrimination, and cold reception that destroy a person.

It is because of the personality caused by these, that even if you walk out of poverty, discrimination, and cold reception, you still carry the imprint of these factors on your body.It will never be able to go to, nor accept the kind and warm land.

Mu Ziling often thinks that Qin Yi treats him well now, but one day, he will hate him as much as those royal families in Yunyan.

"Why do you think so?"

After hearing this, Qin Yi asked in amazement: "Don't you know how good you are? You are more beautiful and cute than all the younger brothers of Gu, and you are also smarter than them. Seeing a young man like you, I'm afraid they should be ashamed to death .”

Holding Mu Ziling's finger, Qin Yi said seriously, "Fenghuang, Gu has never treated you as a proton."

"When I was in Yunyan, those words were just for others to hear, and I just found a reason to bring you back."

Qin Yi said: "Gu never thought that you are the prince who came to Liang Jing as a hostage, but Gu treats you like his own brother."

Mu Ziling looked at him unblinkingly, her pale cheeks were as smooth as a piece of jade porcelain.

"When you grow up, you and Gu will be like bamboo horses. In Liang Cheng, no one dares to bully you."

Qin Yi said: "Understood?...Okay, don't be unhappy, come and show Gu, is the ankle injury better?"

Mu Ziling leaned over, and when he got close enough, he suddenly touched Qin Yi's cheek, his eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled, saying:

"You are so kind. Brother Qin Yi, when I grow up, I will attack the city and conquer the world for you."

Qin Yi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay, Gu is waiting for you."

……

In the middle of the night, when the lights were lit in the hall, Qin Yi ordered people to bring all the notebooks from the office room, and read them in Mu Ziling's hall.

"It's still raining tonight, maybe it will thunder, so I'll stay with you alone."

He said, and then handed Mu Ziling a set of copybooks and a handful of dried fruits for him to play with.

Qin Yi was very serious about reading the notebooks. Under the candlelight, he read one slowly, and then read the next one.

However, from time to time, his eyes would fall on Mu Ziling to see what he was doing.

After practicing calligraphy for a while, Mu Ziling lay down on the table and played with the little snake.

It was indeed a very beautiful snake, bright red in color, and very sticky to Mu Ziling.

Mu Ziling wrapped it around his finger and tossed it back and forth, but it was very cooperative.Is an excellent playmate.

"Have you finished practicing your words?"

Qin Yi turned over a page of memorials, glanced at it from the corner of the eye, and asked him intentionally, "Can I find you a gentleman to learn poetry and books tomorrow?"

Mu Ziling didn't go to school, so he wasn't very repulsive. He just asked, "Then, after going to school, can I still have time to stay with you?"

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "You finish your daily homework well, and the rest of the time is the same as now, and you will still be with Gu."

After a pause, he continued: Homework...isn't the most important thing, I'm just afraid that if you stay in the palace alone, you will feel bored. "

"I'm not bored."

However, Mu Ziling said: "I don't like to play with other people....Can you bring the scrolls, I can choose the one I like to read."

This is naturally possible. Since entering Liangcheng, Qin Yi has basically responded to Mu Ziling's requests, asking for the stars but not the moon.

All he had to do was give him a throne, and he would stay in Liangcheng forever as a king with a different surname.

Mu Ziling had read few poems and books, so he couldn't name any favorite books for a while.

Qin Yi simply called him to his side, cited the Four Books and Five Classics as examples, and wrote a few poems with different styles to see if he liked them.

"Why are your feet so cold?"

The two of them were talking, and they came together.

Mu Ziling took off his shoes and socks just now, and showed Qin Yi the injury on his ankle, so he didn't put them back on.

Those injuries haven't healed yet, and once I wear boots and shoes, it's very uncomfortable.

Apart from Qin Yi, there was no one else in the hall, so they simply didn't wear any clothes and kept their feet bare.

At this time, Qin Yi accidentally bumped into him, and suddenly felt that his feet were extremely cold, like cold pig iron, and hurriedly covered them in his arms.

"..."

Mu Ziling's cold feet were pressed against Qin Yi's heart, warmed by his warm body temperature, but suddenly shrank back, wanting to shrink back.

"what happened?"

Qin Yi asked.

"...No, it's against the rules."

Mu Ziling lowered his eyes and said softly.

Any child who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth knows that it is very rebellious to warm the feet of the king's chest like this.

But Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently, "It's also against the rules to call Brother Qin Yi."

"Stop calling in the future?"

Mu Ziling frowned: "You called me that."

Qin Yi laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile, "Yes, then what are you afraid of?"

"—Gu is voluntary to warm your feet like this. Who dares to say a word of gossip?"

Mu Ziling's feet were "coerced" by Qin Yi, and he couldn't take them back, so he had to put them in his arms.

After a while, it seemed that Qin Yi really didn't look angry at all, and his body, which had been stiff all the time, slowly relaxed.

"When you grow up, you still have to be called the king when you are in front of people."

After being quiet, Qin Yi still sighed softly and said in a low voice.

"Now that you are young, it doesn't matter what your name is."

Mu Ziling looked at him with a frown, and Qin Yi said, "In private, whenever you want to be called 'Brother Qin Yi', you can."

"why."

However, Mu Ziling said softly: "Is 'Brother Qin Yi' also divided into predecessors and descendants?"

Qin Yi choked slightly, not knowing where to start to explain.

"If you don't like it, I can call you 'The King' from now on."

Mu Ziling said.

"solitary……"

Qin Yi paused: "How could Gu not like it, Gu likes it very much."

But looking at Mu Ziling's clear and dark eyes, he felt that some of his thoughts were incomprehensible to Mu Ziling.

If you say it, it may hurt him.

So he smiled wryly, compromised, and lightly touched Mu Ziling's forehead:

"Okay, it's Brother Qin Yi."

"It was Brother Qin Yi when he was in front of people, and he was also Brother Qin Yi when he was behind people."

"—I'm making an exception for you."

When verifying whether a love is sincere, it is usually not through vows or giving, but whether he is willing to give in for you.

Only the love of concession is the love that puts a person in a position more important than oneself.

It was late at night, and Qin Yi hadn't finished reading the memorial yet.

He originally asked Mu Ziling to go to bed first, but Mu Ziling refused.

Just lying on the side to accompany him, while playing with the little snake, while dozing off in a daze.

He likes to be by Qin Yi's side, even if he never says it, but Qin Yi can always see it.

Every time they stayed together, Mu Ziling was always very happy.

It was still raining outside, and gradually, Mu Ziling lay on the table and fell asleep unknowingly.

The young man's soft and long breath fell on his ears like a light feather, gentle and peaceful.

Qin Yi blew out a candle lamp, only looking at the nearest one, and adjusted the light in the hall to the darkest level.

After a long while, Mu Ziling murmured something in his sleep, turned over again, and pressed the other side of his cheek on the table.

Qin Yi couldn't help but look at him, the young man's brows were picturesque, peaceful and gorgeous, like a charm that shouldn't belong to the world at all, but was met and captured by Qin Yi by mistake.

He couldn't help taking off his coat, walked over gently, and tiptoedly put it on Mu Ziling.

I'm afraid he'll catch a cold.

However, when he moved, Mu Ziling was startled awake instead. He sat up rubbing his eyes, looked at Qin Yi, and asked:

"Have you read your notebook?"

Qin Yi smiled: "Not yet."

"Oh."

He responded, looked a little unhappy, lay back on his stomach again, and continued to sleep.

But Qin Yi looked at him and seemed a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking:

Yuxi Huandui "What's the matter, have you had a nightmare?"

"Ah."

The boy muttered unhappily: "I dreamed that you forgot me, and it didn't treat me well at all."

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, as if in disbelief: "There is such a thing?"

"Ah."

Mu Ziling said: "I dreamed that you liked my brother. You wanted me to wear his clothes, call him by his name, and finally, you wanted me to die for him."

"Will not."

Just hearing his description, Qin Yi felt very heartbroken. He quickly opened his arms to Mu Ziling and said, "Are you scared? Come to Gu, and Gu will pull your ear." [*Note 1]

Mu Ziling walked to Qin Yi's side, Qin Yi hugged him, rubbed the top of his head, and said:

"It's just a dream, don't be afraid."

"But just thinking about the dream makes me very sad."

Mu Ziling said softly, with a look of bewilderment on his face, he said, "If you don't like me...I don't know what to do."

Qin Yi kissed him on the forehead: "There won't be such a day."

He hugged Mu Ziling into his arms, and then closed all the memorials on the table.

"Don't look at it."

Qin Yi said, "Go to bed with you alone."

Qin Yi took Mu Ziling's hand and walked towards the bedroom——

"It's raining too much tonight, so I'll tell you a story about the lotus leaf fairy looking for a happy marriage."

——Extra one END——
