Zhou Xian sat on a chair and looked around. The back hall was not very large, much smaller than the Wenhua Hall. After taking him to the back hall, his father-in-law named Xiao Wuzi took him to the back hall, he retreated on his own, leaving Zhou Xian alone. After waiting for about half an hour, the queen still had not arrived.

Zhou Xian was puzzled, thinking that the queen was too delayed! Or, the prince was really sick this time, so she couldn't get out of her immediately. When she was extremely bored, he suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter from the outside. He felt a little strange and stood up and walked out.

The royal backyard is mostly planted with strange flowers and plants, which is a natural scenery. But it is early autumn, with flowers withering and plants decaying, and the whole courtyard is extremely desolate. Zhou Xian stood at the door and saw a little girl about six or seven years old wearing a purple gauze skirt, pink cheeks, and flawless face, just like a live porcelain doll. At this moment, she was hiding at the door, revealing a side face. She was secretly looking outside, while not far away were the repeated shouts of two palace maids.

She looked back and saw Zhou Xian's face slightly changed. She quickly put her index finger between her mouth and made a "shush" move to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian smiled and nodded gently to her. The two palace maids walked to the entrance of the courtyard and saw Zhou Xian's face suddenly changed. She bowed to Zhou Xian and fell down, and then ran away.

When the girl saw that the palace maid had gone away, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with her right hand. Then she looked at Zhou Xian strangely, turned around and walked to him, looked at him carefully for a moment and said, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the girl was so cute, Zhou Xian thought that she didn't know which prince's daughter dared to run around in the palace. He couldn't help but step forward and pat her head gently and said, "Before asking others, you have to say your name first."

The girl stamped her feet and said, "You are bold, you dare to pat my head? I will tell my father, let me see how he dealt with you?"

Zhou Xian took two steps back, looked at the girl in disbelief and said, "Are you Princess Kunxing?" Who can call someone else's father besides her?

The girl raised her forehead and smiled playfully, "You know what you are." Then she said angrily, "You know who I am, but you haven't told me your name yet!"

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and bowed and said, "Next Zhou Xian, I will pay homage to His Highness the Princess."

Princess Kunxing held her face with her finger and said, "Zhou Xian, I heard from my mother that you are the one who wants to study with my prince. Why are you here?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Why is it not surprising that I am here, the key is why your highness is here? That palace maid is looking for you! You think that once they can't find you in front of you, they will definitely come back soon. At that time, where can you hide from your Highness?"

Princess Kunxing frowned and thought for a while, saying, "You will help me hide it from them later, and then I won't tell my father that you have patted my head. Do you think this is OK?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess is smart. I'll hide it for you later. By the way, your Highness, why are you hiding from them!"

Princess Kunxing sighed and said with a look of a little adult: "The emperor is sick, it is said that it is wind and cold. The queen mother went to accompany him, but she did not allow me to visit the emperor, saying that she was afraid of spreading it to me. The emperor is usually the best for me. When he is sick, how can I just come and see him? Therefore, I ran out while the palace maid was unprepared."

Zhou Xian said in confusion: "It's just wind and cold, not typhoid fever, how can it be transmitted!"

Princess Kunxing sat on the steps in front of the door, put her forehead on her hands and said, "I said that too, but my mother just didn't let me go. I don't know why?"

Zhou Xian sat on the steps and said, "Your Highness, after all, the Empress is also for you. Anyway, Your Highness is not a serious illness. Maybe it will be cured in two days. It will not be too late for Your Highness to visit him when the princess will go back! I'll take a look for a while and you will follow the two palace maids! After all, once the Queen can't find you, she may blame them. I'm afraid Your Highness is unwilling to see this!"

Princess Kunxing's face was dim and finally nodded, "You said, I'll go back later. By the way, you haven't told me why you are here yet!"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "The reason you have come here is roughly the same. I am now the prince's accompanying him. Today is the first time I come to pay homage to the prince. But the prince is sick and cannot summon me. But the queen said she wanted to see me, so she kept me here and waited."

Princess Kunxing said "Oh" and said, "It turns out that my mother wants to see you! Then you are my elder brother's accompanying you to study. Will you come here every day in the future?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Maybe! At least your father should come here every day before making other arrangements for me."

Princess Kunxing said, "Then can I come to play with you in the future!"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "The princess is a daughter-in-law, and she has countless playmates around her. Isn't it enough for them to accompany you to play? Moreover, I think the Queen has strict requirements for you. Do you really have time to come here?"

Princess Kunxing paused and said, "Although I won't have time every day, I can still do it occasionally. There are quite a few playmates beside me, but they are not the same as you."

Zhou Xian looked at her in confusion and said, "What's the difference?"

Princess Kunxing pouted and said, "They are afraid of me, so they dare not say anything or play with anything. Usually when I go out, they follow closely around them, and they are not free at all."

Zhou Xian saw that she was pitiful and thought that she was really pitiful. She was banned in this palace for the rest of her life, and when the country was destroyed, she was cut off one of her arms by Emperor Chongzhen. Although she finally saved her life, she died of sadness within two years. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, if you want to, you can come to me anytime in the future."

Princess Kunxing cheered and said, "What you said is true?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can try it in the future!"

Princess Kunxing was happy for a while, and suddenly saw the blooming buds of several chrysanthemums placed by the wall. Her attention was instantly attracted. She jumped and ran there, looking at her hands touching her, looking excited.

The leaves of a sycamore tree, as thick as a bucket by the wall, have begun to wither and yellow. Under the blowing of the autumn wind, the leaves slowly fall on the ground like a swaying swing. Red and green are soft, and a thick layer is laid on the ground. Like a classic oil painting of fallen leaves, full of poetry and painting.

Princess Kunxing was excited in the middle, like a cheerful butterfly dancing in the painting.
