"It's fun." Rong Zhuo said, "By the way, you are so good at archery, who taught you?"

Yu Jingdu glanced at him and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Then he must be very powerful." Rong Zhuo said, "Teach me two more tricks, brother!"

Yu Jingdu was stunned by his footsteps calling him "brother", and his complexion looked a little better than before.

"Are you okay?" Rong Zhuo shook his arm.

"There are so many fun things, why not learn this?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"I actually wanted to defend myself after I learned it." Rong Zhuo said.

Yu Jingdu thought for a while, "This thing is too complicated for self-defense, I'll teach you something else later."

Rong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, pulled him and asked, "Can't you teach it now?"

"Cough..." Yu Jingdu clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly, his expression a little unsightly.

Rong Zhuo noticed his strangeness and asked, "Your old disease has recurred again?"

"It's not serious, don't worry." Yu Jingdu said.

Rong Zhuo was worried that he would catch a cold, so he wanted to pull him back, but Yu Jingdu did not refuse, and let the boy hold his arm.

"I used to be not afraid of cold." Yu Jingdu said, "It's all because of this illness."

When he was at the border back then, for several months a year, it was colder than the coldest time in the capital, and Yu Jingdu was already used to it.

I do not know when, the snow began to fall one after another.

Rong Zhuo stretched out a hand to catch the falling snowflake, and after receiving it, he clenched his hand and melted the snowflake in his palm.

"Do you like snow?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"I like it." Rong Zhuo said, "Because it is winter when it snows, and only winter can celebrate the New Year."

Yu Jingdu laughed, "You don't like snow, you just like Chinese New Year.

"Yeah." Rong Zhuo nodded without refuting.

When he was young, his parents were busy working hard, and the family gathered less and separated more. When the family was rarely neat, it was often either one thing or that one was not at home. Only during the Chinese New Year, they would definitely be together.

So at that time, Rong Zhuo liked the New Year the most.

But as he grew up, the illusion of family harmony could not deceive him.

When he was a teenager, Rong Zhuo didn't look forward to the New Year very much.

It's just that was obsessed with the New Year and the snow when was a child, and people can't help but fall into memories occasionally.

"What about you?" Rong Zhuo asked Yu Jingdu.

"I also like winter, because my mother likes plum blossoms, and plum blossoms only bloom in winter." Yu Jingdu said, "When I was a child, my mother planted a lot of plum blossoms in her yard. Every year when the plum blossoms bloom, she will change. Feel better than usual."

Rong Zhuo heard his voice a little lonely, and held his arm, as if to comfort him.

After speaking, the two returned to their residence.

Rong Zhuo asked Jin Douzi to get a hand stove for Yu Jingdu, and then had someone add a charcoal pot to the house.

"Does it hurt?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"I'm not that delicate." Yu Jingdu smiled lightly, "Today I asked people about your father's current situation. He is quite safe inside, and there is nothing wrong with him. You don't have to worry about him."

Rong Zhuo hurriedly said, "I know Jiang Shaoqing will definitely take care of him, so don't worry."

"I listened to what King Yan said. The Yuzhou case will soon become clear. If everything goes well by then, your father may continue to stay in prison for a while." Yu Jingdu said: "But when the case is over, You will be able to return to the capital soon, maybe you will be able to go back in time for the Chinese New Year."

Rong Zhuo asked: "The prince will not let people kill us again?"

"Your father has already surrendered to the case, and the case will come to an end by then. No matter if the crown prince retreats completely, or if he gets into trouble, there is no need to provoke you any more." Yu Jingdu said: "This is the capital after all, so he made a move rashly. It will only make His Majesty unhappy."

"It makes sense." Rong Zhuo said.

"His Royal Highness King Yan should also send someone to protect you, so you don't have to worry." Yu Jingdu said.

He said and coughed twice.

Seeing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly fetched a blanket and put it on him.

"Is it still cold?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"It's okay," he said, but his expression was very worrying.

Rong Zhuo helped Yu Jingdu to lie down, and then sat on the carpet beside the low couch.

The two were so close that Yu Jingdu could almost feel each other's breath.

"Why haven't you written to me properly these days?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"It's too cold." Rong Zhuo put his hand on the back of Jing Du's hand, "Try how cold my hand is, I can't hold a pen at all."

Yu Jingdu's gaze stopped for a moment on the boy's hand, with a bit of restraint in his eyes.

"Qingshi, why are you here at this time?" Rong Zhuo asked, "I thought you would wait for the Yuzhou case to end."

"Isn't the crown prince coming? His Royal Highness King Yan wants to pray for him, so I will follow and see you." Yu Jingdu said.

"King Yan prayed for the crown prince?" Rong Zhuo smiled and said, "Isn't this the weasel praying for the chicken for the New Year?"

Yu Jingdu didn't make a sound, but quietly turned over his hand, clasping Rong Zhuo's hand in his palm, as if he was secretly drawing strength.

Rong Zhuo had never been shy about being close to him, so he honestly let him hold it.

"Last time you said that if you do anything dangerous, you should be informed in advance." Yu Jingdu said.

"What are you doing?" Rong Zhuo was startled.

"You have also seen my illness. The doctor said that I may not survive this winter." Yu Jingdu said.

Rong Zhuo's eyes turned red when he heard the words, and he said anxiously, "Didn't you say it can be cured? Why can't you suddenly survive..."

"That's not what you meant." Yu Jingdu said, "But you..."

He raised his other hand and gently wiped the corner of Rong Zhuo's eyes, "Do you care so much about me?"

"What the hell? Don't scare me." Rong Zhuo said.
