The autumn moon's capital is less enthusiastic than summer, with a little more sediment. The golden leaves of the sycamore trees sway, and the green pines are green. In the small and exquisite courtyard, the colorful flowers of summer have gradually disappeared from the grass. They are dormant in the familiar soil, waiting for the arrival of a new spring in half a year.

Flowers fall, another autumn moon, another season of reincarnation.

"ha……"

A low whistle, like a lazy cat, a small head quietly poked out from the solid and soft brocade quilt. Her hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as snow. She stretched out half of her lotus arms and rubbed her eyes unwillingly. Her eyes, which were like black gems, slowly opened, emitting dazzling and charming and lively brilliance.

On another bed several feet away, the thin bedding was folded squarely and neatly without a trace of wrinkles, and the person on it was nowhere to be found. Xueer turned her body and quietly looked at the folded bedding. The curve of her mouth curled up, revealing a sweet and pleasant smile.

Since Qingying and Loli held hands, the relationship between the two has undergone new changes. Without the faint barrier of their identities, it has added a bit of implicit communication with each other. Sometimes, before Qingying finished her previous sentence, she already knew what he would say next; and when she wanted something, he could always send it to her first. The touching of being understood and the surprises... so many things are unspeakable. Loli couldn't help but wonder why she had been with him for only 20 years but had a feeling of knowing him for only 20 years?

Although he hadn't done that with him..., he had already held his hand, so he was considered his person, right? Thinking of this, Loli's heart thumped, and two moving blushed on her fair cheeks. Thinking of his hand being held by him, the numb feeling that was like an electric shock, Loli couldn't help but flushed; she gently covered her smooth face, twisted her fragrant body, and swayed her slender legs. In a blink of an eye, the brocade quilt that was originally laid on the couch was wrapped around her body; feeling the softness and tenderness that wrapped her whole body, Loli suddenly felt aroused in her childlike heart, rolling back and forth on the wide bed, releasing her happy mood.

"Qingying...Qingying...hehe..." Loli said softly, and suddenly burst out laughing. The smile was sweet and gentle, clear and gentle, like the bright moon in the mountain spring and the snow lotus bloomed.

"Ding..." At this moment, the foreign bell in the corner rang in confusion, shocking the beautiful scenery. Loli rolled on the bed for a while, and saw the time displayed on the clock, and immediately bounced from the couch like a frightened little beast, revealing her pink underwear and large snow-white skin. Feeling the coldness of autumn, Loli whined and quickly retracted into the quilt, putting on various clothes inside. She gritted her teeth, as if she had made great determination, and lifted the warm and comfortable quilt and jumped from the bed to the ground.

On the dressing table, there were some cosmetics from her daughter's house, wooden combs and hairpins, all of which were all available. Sitting in front of the stage, Loli began to dress up this day. After a while, a glorious girl stood tall and graceful, with a silky waist and a bright moon in her earlobe. Looking at the familiar and beautiful figure in the diorama, Loli nodded with satisfaction. She took out a few silver from the drawer, picked up the lunch box and walked out the door.

When she opened the door, the sun shone brightly, Loli couldn't help but squint her eyes; under her feet, a peacock path winded and straight out of the side door. She felt the uneven but comfortable pleasure coming from her feet, breathing the fresh air in the morning, Loli was in a good mood, humming an unknown little song in her nose, happy and happy.

The courtyard where Qingying temporarily lives is located in the northeast of the imperial capital. When you open the door, it is a bustling and lively main road. Although there are many high-ranking officials and nobles living here, there are still a large number of vendors setting up stalls. By the time of the year, the entire street had already awakened from the sleep of the dark night, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and the degree of liveliness was as if it had not been affected by the adverse effects of the war ahead.

Loli was like an elf, passing by on the busy streets, attracting many people to look back. The rise of the Westernization Movement not only brought strong ships and cannons to Miqing, but also brought European cultural thoughts and atmosphere to the Chinese people who have lived in this ancient land for thousands of years. After years of subtle changes, people's reaction to this somewhat alternative phenomenon is far less intense than twenty years ago. Seeing a young girl in the flower season is not reserved and Shuhui, she stays at home and learns about the girl's red. Instead, she often shows up in public and goes out alone on the streets, and no one stands up to preach with traditional moral integrity and righteousness.

Walking through the streets and alleys until the store. A middle-aged woman in her forties was recording books behind the counter. When she saw Loli coming, she showed a smile on her slightly fat face. Since Loli and Qingying came to Beijing, she has been buying breakfast in this store. The middle-aged woman owner has long remembered Loli's beautiful and charming face. Without her instructions, the female owner skillfully put various foods in two porcelain bowls, then took the Loli's lunch box and neatly stacked it inside.

"Hulala." Her steps were heavy, and a clang sound was heard. A crisp sound of gold and iron suddenly came into Loli's ears, accompanied by a faint shrill scream. Loli has been in the capital for more than two months and has heard this sound for the first time. She turned her head in surprise and looked around. After a while, the strange sound came from far to near, and a scene that she couldn't understand came into her eyes.

A team of city defense teams dressed in gray clothes, carrying inferior spears made of white wax heads. Because they were in the imperial city of the capital, there were many powerful people living here. These soldiers did not rage on the streets like the soldiers in the film and television works, but were lined up in a very neat column, without any offense with the people around them. On the other side, a group of ragged and thin beggars were forcibly moving forward by the tip of the gun, and each two were handcuffed with iron shackles on their feet. Once they walked slowly, the soldiers next to them would whip the man heavily with the pole of the spear, and even the elderly, weak, women and children were not spared.

Loli looked unbearable, bit her lips, and her big eyes were full of confusion and compassion. The beggar-like people with pale faces and skinny faces, almost all of them were old people and women, but why did they suffer such treatment? It would be fine if they were handcuffed on their feet, but they would be hit by the ruthless sticks of the soldiers!

"Auntie, what's going on? Are they all prisoners? Why have I lived in the capital for more than two months but I have never heard of such a thing?" Seeing the strange group walking in a hurry, gradually moving away, and finally disappearing into the streets far away, Loli turned slowly and asked the female shop owner in a voice that had become a little hoarse.

The female shop owner shook her head slightly and whispered: "They are all people who fled from the front line of the Northeast. They thought the capital was the safest, so they all ran in. Unfortunately, the actual situation was not as beautiful as they imagined. A few days ago, the court had to accept these people and distribute porridge to them once a day; but as more and more fugitives flocked to the capital in the Northeast, the powerful and powerful generally reported that they had affected their living environment. The emperor issued an order to drive all the escaped people out of the capital. In order to prevent them from escaping midway, the people of Shuntian Prefecture thought of using this method to lock their feet so that they would not have to worry."

"Northeast Front? But the Di newspaper has always said that North Korea has won the battle!" Loli's beautiful eyes widened.

"Little girl, you are too simple. How many things in the Qing Dynasty are now on the surface are credible? I have a relative who runs errands at the Military Affairs Office. According to him, the Korean War situation of something bad has long become even worse than the mud on rainy days. All the people from the court are retreating to the country. If it weren't for this, how could so many Northeast refugees come from?" The female shop owner sighed and said, "Didn't my Qing Dynasty have already done the Westernization Affairs Office? Tongguang has revived? Even a small Japanese pirate of the East can't beat it!"

Loli was in chaos, and there were only the tragic scenes of the poor people who were forcibly driven out of the capital just now. Listening to the female shop owner chattering there, she suddenly remembered. A few days ago, that guy Qingying seemed to have said something about the defeat of the front-line army. At that time, he thought that this foreign prince was talking nonsense and didn't take it to heart. But now it seems that what he said is probably true. If the front-line was not defeated, how could the residents in his own country leave their hometown and flee from Fengtian to Zhili thousands of miles away?

Loli gritted her teeth and wanted to help the people who fled, but when she touched the silver on her body, she was frustrated to find that after paying the bill, the amount of silver on her body was already left and she couldn't buy any food at all. Although the monthly cost of herself and Qingying was quite generous, she had to spread it to so many people, and in the end everyone could not get anything at all.

Wait... Since that guy Qingying is the prince of Germany and the second son of their emperor, can he let the country behind him intervene in this war through his way?

At this point, Loli was moved in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible; Germany had sold a giant iron-armored ship to the Qing Dynasty, and it was quite possible to mediate the war between the Qing Dynasty and Japan. If Germany could successfully mediate the war between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, then the losses recovered in this way would be much more than what she gained from using so little money to relieve herself!

But... in this case, wouldn't that guy Qingying be in a difficult situation? What should he do if he becomes dissatisfied with him because of this?
