@dianxins⸒       as  any  mother  would  fair  after  her  only  son  ascends  to  the  heavens.      she  misses  you,    but  ..    is   immensely  proud  of  you.

i  knew  i  could  rely  on  you,   master.     perhaps  im  pushing  the  limits  of  the  heavenly  rules,   but..     how  is  my  mother  fairing?

@dianxins⸒     that  is..    mhm,    as  the  state  preceptor,     its  my  duty.    i  will  make  sure  everyone  knows  not  to  kneel.

@dianxins⸒      well  that  was  a  little  different.   it  would  give  the  other  heavenly  less  room  to  talk  about  your  entanglement  with  crimson  rain.   that  being  said,     no  one  is  forcing  you  to  make  a  decision  right  now.

..   me?    master,   i  didn't  even  want  to  run  my  own  country!   i  couldn't  possibly..

@dianxins⸒    by  that  logic..    you  would  be  the  next  likely  candidate,   given  you  /did/  defeat  his  highness.   

it's  just  that..   i  thought  he  might  enjoy  having  someone  around  that  has  similar  interests!   mm..   thank  you.

@dianxins⸒   oh?     so   you  want  to  learn  because  of  hong'er  ..    pff,   yes.     come  here,    ill  teach  you  the  basics.

..   would  you  teach  me?    hong'er  paints  and  i'd  like  to  have  something  in  common  with  him. 

he's  been..  so  kind  to  me.    he  was  the  first  person  i  thought  to  go  to  when  everything  happened.   (..)  but  all  that  being said,   i  am..   so  happy  for  you. 

@dianxins⸒        but  why  not?     i  told  you  so—!      hm.    good..   that's  all  that  matters;    that  he  treats  you  well,   and  that  you  are  happy.

you  do  not!    he  treats  me..    so  well.   you've  no  idea. 

@dianxins⸒       ...??    being  popular  with  the  village  girls  does  not  mean  he  is  interested  in  them.      huff..     you  know  as  your  caretaker,    i  only  want  the  best  for  you,   right?

hong'er  doesn't  see  me  that  way  so  it  doesn't  matter!   he's  been..   rather  popular with  some  girls  in  the  village.   he'll  be  just  fine  once  i  set  off. 

@dianxins⸒     i  just  dont  want  you  to  get  to  your  forties  and  be  alone!      (..)      i  encourage  your  passion  of  wanting  to  see  the  world,    you  know  ..     but  dont  just  ignore  what's  in  front  of  you  either!

@dianxins⸒    gusu  lan?     huh..   its  been  awhile  since  i  heard  that  surname.    (..)    regardless,    i  wish  you  well.   actually...    ive  been  meaning  for  mei  ju  to  get  some  outside  world  experience  besides  just  mount  tonglu.     

@dianxins⸒    oh  but  children  are  always  such  a  pleasure  to  be  around.   even  in  my  youth,    i  have  felt  that  way.     ha..   i  suppose  you  are  right.

@guoshis,    in  his  own  way,   the  spoiling  you  provide  is  far  different  from  that!   the  twins  know  you  will  give  them  what  ever  their  hearts  desire  when  you're  here. 

@dianxins⸒       surely  your  husband  does  most  of  the  spoiling?    honestly  i  just  drop  by  with  the  occasional  snack  or  trinket...
