"The Girl Named Bai Ming 19"

"Flowers will reopen, and people will no longer be young." The cool breeze of autumn blew the dilapidated courtyard. Austin, who was wearing a royal robe, looked at the fluttering flowers and sighed with emotion. .

He's gotten more sentimental since the wet nurse died. "Bai Ming, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think the flower will fail when it falls, and the flower that blooms again is not the original flower, so I think this sentence is meaningless." He smiled and said nothing.

Three months have passed since they returned to the imperial city, and the Gulan defenders barely managed to maintain the situation, and expanded some of the miscellaneous soldiers who had been scattered from various places.

The imperial city opened its gates to take in those homeless and displaced people in Gulan as much as possible. As long as they have been reviewed and confirmed that there is no problem, they can enter the city and be assigned to houses.

So far, at least the city of Cyprus and the surrounding area is somewhat stable, and the residents and soldiers in the city have returned to their normal trajectories. Soldiers, including the public, hope and look forward to a better tomorrow, and it is true, but Austin frowns all day long. In this thriving atmosphere, he seemed to notice something unusual.

"Bai Ming, this matter may be far from over." Austin pondered. "Um."

"Do you think so too?"

"Perhaps, but it's pointless to worry about these things, Your Majesty. What should happen will always happen. All I can do is to prevent these things from affecting you and Gulan." Bai Ming stared blankly into the distance. The cold wind ruffled her golden hair.

"So, the reason for protecting me is just because of duty?"

"I am a knight of Gulan, and of course it is my duty to protect His Majesty."

"Then, we have other relationships besides the monarch-subject relationship, don't we?" Austin said suddenly, and it seemed a little awkward to say this. "I don't quite understand what Your Majesty said." Bai Ming tilted his head.

"Hey..." Looking at Bai Ming's dull appearance, Austin sighed and smiled helplessly. "Friend, doesn't it count?" "Friend?" Bai Ming thought about it. "Am I friends with Your Majesty?"

"Have gone through so many things, don't you think of me as a friend?"

First of all, what is a friend? What is the definition of this relationship, and what kind of relationship must be called a friend? "Bai Ming suddenly had a bunch of questions, which made Austin dumbfounded.

"This relationship doesn't need this definition, you think we are, that's it." Austin thought for a long time before opening his mouth. "Is it?"

"Then, Bai Ming, do you think we are only restricted by the relationship between monarch and minister?" Staring at Bai Ming, Austin said. "" Bai Ming didn't speak for a while, seemed a little dazed, and shook his head after a long time. "I, I don't know."

"Your Majesty, I probably don't know what to say."

"That means, you think we are not just monarchs and ministers, right?" "Maybe, right." Bai Ming couldn't understand.

Suddenly, Bai Ming felt a warm hand on her head. She raised her head with half-open eyes like a cat, and saw Austin's eyes full of warmth. "I know that you have never experienced the day-to-day life of being a girl since you were a child, but a healthy person cannot be as emotionless as now. Don't worry, I will guide you to find it."

"Find, love?" Bai Ming was puzzled. "How to find it then?"

"You don't need to look for it, Bai Ming, if you are a person, you must have feelings, and you have them too. I'm just guiding you to clearly recognize your feelings." "Really?" Bai Ming nodded when he heard the words. "But, even if you have feelings, what can you do?"

"If you have feelings, you won't find the meaning of living like you are now, Bai Ming, I hope you can find your own happiness." Austin looked at Bai Ming tenderly.

"Happiness?" Bai Ming murmured the word. "Well, I'm happy now." "Do you think you're happy now?"

"Isn't it a symbol of happiness to be alive?" Bai Ming's face changed very little. "At least I'm happier than those who died in war

"Survival is different from living, and life is even more different from living happily." Austin shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, you probably don't understand this now, take your time."

"How about you accompany me to drink tea today as usual?"

"This is His Majesty's order, and I have no objection."

"It's said that this is not an order, but a request." Austin poked Bai Ming's little head. "From a friend's request, in terms of your subjective emotions, you can agree to it if you want, and forget it if you don't want to."

"Tea is hard to drink." Bai Ming showed a rare look of sadness.

"So, don't you want to go this time?" Austin didn't force Bai Ming. "Well, you go back first." Just as Austin was about to turn to leave, his forearm was held by a finger.

"Huh?" Austin looked back and found that Bai Ming was bowing his head at the moment, and his little finger was gently clasping himself, like a child trying to keep an adult. "If Your Majesty is going, then I will follow." Bai Ming raised his head slightly.

"Pfft" Looking at Bai Ming who responded so cutely, Austin couldn't help laughing, and suddenly wanted to put his own kiss print on this delicate yet lovely face.

Ah, this kind of thing is still too early for her, let's forget it, so as not to scare her.

In the past few months, Bai Ming has completely

Taking the place of the maids next to Austin, the maids in the palace are only responsible for cleaning, washing and cooking, and they can't even see the emperor's face, but Bai Ming takes Austin with him wherever he goes. Gossip about the relationship between the two, the beautiful female knight and the noble-born emperor, it is hard not to cause people to associate, most of them speculate that the two of them are lovers in private.

For these rumors, Bai Ming did not clarify, or she had never heard of it at all, or she didn't care. Even if she heard it and cared about it, she probably wouldn't understand what a lover was.

In the courtyard, the maid poured tea for Austin. As a knight, Bai Ming was supposed to stand in front of the emperor, but now he sat on a chair at Austin's request and was forced to drink tea and enjoy the scenery with him.

"Aren't you tired of looking at this unchanging scenery every day?" Suddenly, Bai Ming said involuntarily. "With you here, I won't get tired of any scenery." Austin said with a smile without hesitation.
