Learning Gu in Southern Xinjiang, Master assists

———

The less people have something, the more they long for something.

In the past, Aya longed for freedom and wanted to escape with her mother.

But now after seeing the relationship between the emperor and the empress' family in the palace, he realized that what he wanted was just a normal family.

It seems that the same is true for his mother. Because his father died early, he quickly fell in love with the older foreign king and wanted to form a complete family with him.

Aya is very scared, afraid that he will make the same mistake as his mother.

Although the emperor and the empress love each other very much, the emperor is not like his father. There are countless men and women in the harem. The emperor's brothers and sisters also have their own families. Rape.

But, what if the prince is a bad seed?

Aya grabbed his hand and felt that it was disgusting for him to have such thoughts. The prince was so kind to him, but he still thought of the prince so badly.

But...he was really scared.

Aya is in a severe conflict. Rationally, Aya wants him to stay away from the prince, not to get married, and to return to southern Xinjiang, so that he can ensure that he is not like his mother.

But emotionally he was reluctant to let go. He held a lucky heart and imagined that he would be able to have a husband who loved him like Xu Yue in the future.

Aya's mother was not kind to others, but when educating Aya, she still told him to have hope in the world. Not everyone can be as bad as the foreign king. He firmly believed that Aya could meet someone who likes and treats him well.

The prince often gave him things. He had nothing in a foreign land, and his only companions were the ugly bugs. He felt novel about these gadgets and couldn't put them down.

He is a layman and cannot resist the onslaught of these gifts.

The important thing is that the prince doesn't ask him to repay anything, and he doesn't have to be sent there to be tortured at night like his mother.

Aya spent the first New Year in the palace. In the past, he was in a foreign country and lived the same life every day, so he had no special feelings about the New Year, but this time it was different.

The Queen prepared five or six sets of new clothes for him, red, blue, black, white, floral and plain...it almost made his eyes dazzle. In addition, he also stuffed a red paper bag for him. When he went back to the house and opened it, he found several large silver notes and a few taels of broken silver inside.

He has no idea about money, but there should be a lot of money here if the Queen takes action.

Aya knows that this is lucky money. His mother told him about this custom. He said that the red envelope is a beautiful symbol and the love of the elders for the younger ones.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, his mother had no money to give him, so she could only give him Gu insects.

He spent seventeen years in a foreign country, and he had a total of seventeen worms on his body, which were secretly fed by Aya's mother with blood. He used these 17 worms to kill his father's seventeen uncles and brothers. The eighteenth worm was found in the father's brain.

Speaking of which, he will be eighteen years old in the next year, and he will not miss his mother's New Year's gift.

When Xu Yue came in, what he saw was Aya with her head lowered, holding an unsealed red envelope in one hand and a fat insect in the other.
