He Chun truly values ​​brotherhood exceptionally. Why? Because He Yan Yu raised him to be such a loyal and affectionate person, and of course, his mother also played happily with him throughout his playful life.
Di Yuyun shook her head: "There's no need at all. You just need to play with me." She didn't like the concept of friends either. Her mother had told her to make fewer friends because friends are the ones who are most likely to stab you in the back.
Regardless of whether the quail listened or not, they started taking him with them on a daily basis, taking him wherever they went. And then one day they met someone.
At the end of the month, looking calmly at the unusually close girl and boy opposite her, Hequn removed a leaf from Di Yuyun's hair.
"Thanks"
At the end of the month, her ear twitched slightly. The voice was so beautiful it was intoxicating. Her eyes fell on the smiling girl.
Di Yuyun turned her head and looked at the cold and indifferent Yuemo not far away. She didn't recognize him, but Dou Shiliu had said that you should smile at anyone you meet for the first time, so that you would make a good impression. So Di Yuyun smiled sweetly at Yuemo, like a spring breeze in March.
They were still just kids, so it was inevitable that they would glance at pretty things a few more times. But as I passed by them casually at the end of the month, I didn't intend to say hello.
"End-of-Month Sister"
A childish voice rang out, and Yue Mo didn't stop walking forward happily. Di Yuyun didn't continue looking at her, after all, she didn't seem to like her very much.
"Let's go, Crane," Di Yuyun said, pulling Crane, who wanted to go find the end of the month, along with a smile as she ran off. Crane then gave up on her plans and went to play with Di Yuyun.
Di Yuyun was running back and forth between the palace and the Crane Mansion. Dou Shiliu suggested that she build a mansion outside to avoid the journey, but Di Yuyun shook her head. She didn't like not seeing Dou Shiliu for several days, and she didn't mind being tired.
Dou Shiliu ignored her. Since she didn't say anything, she didn't bother with her either, and discussed with Di An Yan where to go for fun next time.
As Di Yuyun ran back and forth, she gradually turned 16. Her increasingly beautiful face made the young men of the capital look up to this graceful princess.
Di Yuyun moved into the princess's mansion built for her by Di Anyan. Because she had grown up, she could no longer live with Dou Shiliu, and it was also inconvenient for her to go to the He family anymore, so she simply stayed in the princess's mansion.
"Princess, Young Master He requests an audience."
Di Yuyun was idly tugging at flower petals when she suddenly heard a servant announce her arrival. Her eyes sparkled, and she nodded, "Let him in."
The servants withdrew and called for Hechun, who was still dressed in white. His handsome features still carried a rare maturity, unlike the soft and sweet appearance he had in his childhood.
"Princess"
The quail gave a gentle, low bow.
Di Yuyun put down the flower petals in her hand. "What do you want with me?"
After hearing about the place He Chun mentioned, Di Yuyun listlessly slumped onto the table. She only acted this way in front of He Chun. "I'm not going. What's so interesting about a poetry gathering?"
The annual poetry gatherings are never difficult; it's better to just stay at the princess's residence.
Di Yuyun lost interest in her eyes, slumped on the table, her fine black hair cascading down her back, looking exceptionally smooth.
Hequn felt a little itchy, but he didn't dare to touch Di Yuyun's hair, as that was against the rules.
"Well... I'm leaving."
Hequn came hoping to hear God's lingering charm, but she showed no interest, so he went alone.
Di Yuyun nodded and continued to tend to her flowers.
After leaving the princess's residence, the quail naturally went to the poetry gathering, only to unexpectedly encounter the end of the month.
"Sister Yuemo, it's been a long time," Hechun greeted Yuemo with a smile. He then recounted how Hechun hadn't summoned Yuemo since Di Yuyun came to the He family.
So their relationship faded, but the quails never forgot that they used to climb trees together and raid bird nests.
Those days were exceptionally happy.
"Um"
At the end of the month, she glanced at him indifferently. The increasingly radiant young man stirred something within her, but she suppressed the flutter in her heart and did not look at him again.
After the poetry gathering, Hequn naturally left first. Although his father loved to drink, he would get rashes from drinking, so he would usually go home alone after these gatherings.
Encountering the end of the month on the way
It was raining, and it seemed that none of her servants had come to fetch her. Hequn asked for an umbrella and ran over.
"End-of-Month Sister"
At the end of the month, she looked up and saw a quail running towards her. The quail, who was some distance away, handed her an umbrella.
"Let my driver take you home first."
People would gossip if they rode in the same car, so Hechun let Yuemo get on the car first, and he would wait here.
He hesitated for a moment at the end of the month, but when he felt a slight discomfort in his stomach, his body stiffened instantly, so he didn't delay any longer and got into the carriage of the Crane Mansion.
The driver left, and the rain intensified. The quail stood in the rain, holding a small umbrella, looking rather forlorn.
"Get on the bus, you idiot."
The Emperor's lingering voice reached them, and He Chun looked up. The Princess's carriage was in front of him, and he hesitated.
"hurry up"
Emperor Yuyun kept urging him on, but he really didn't know why the crane wasn't coming up and was just cowering there.
The quail didn't care and came up.
"Thank you, Princess."
Emperor Yuyun nodded. What made Hechun a little more relaxed was that there was a maid in the carriage, so it wasn't a case of a man and a woman alone in a room.
Now that we're grown up, things are different from when we were little. Now we have to be careful about everything.
"Why is the princess here?"
The quail looked at Di Yuyun with a puzzled expression.
She said, "I wanted to go out in the rain, but Yu'er wouldn't let me, so I asked her to take me out to smell the rain."
quail: "..."
Every time, he suspected that Di Yuyun was a fake princess, but Di Anyan only had one daughter, and he didn't know what the other princesses were like, so he naturally felt that some of the things Di Yuyun did were quite normal.
Maid: She couldn't stop the princess at all.
The car fell silent. Di Yuyun, naturally, couldn't be without a topic of conversation. Looking at the trembling crane, she asked, "You came in first place?"
Quail: "What?"
Poetry Gathering
"To my shame, I came in second place."
Who came in first place?
"End of month"
Di Yuyun blinked. End of the month?
Is that the young lady of the Yue family merchant across the street from the crane?
"Isn't it said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent?"
The quail smiled faintly: "I don't know either."
Anyway, now the emperor requires women to be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Oh, it wasn't the emperor's request, it was a rule set by that old ancestor.
Di Yuyun nodded and chatted with Hechun about their childhood. Suddenly, she thought of the group of brothers he had protected back then and asked, "Are you still in contact with those people?" Although she had asked him to follow her back then, he had not obeyed.
