"Teacher, I had a dream last night."
"Oh? Your Majesty, what kind of dream is it?"
"The bachelor is busy with official duties. How can my son delay the bachelor with such weird things? Why don't you go to study quickly?"
"What the mother said is that the child is abrupt."
"Alas! Why is the Queen Mother doing this? I happen to have some free time and would like to interpret your majesty's dream."
"I have had this dream every night since I can remember. It has been repeated for several years. But it was not until yesterday that I could remember the content of the dream clearly for the first time."
"Since Your Majesty can't remember the content of the dream, why do you think it was the same dream in the past few years?"
"Because in dreams, there is always a red leaf flying."

In the fourth year of Yuangui (1573), on October 2nd of the first year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, Yu Qiuping was standing on the bow of the ship on the ship from Sakai Port to Nanzhili, looking at the Japanese coastline that was gradually receding.
He never expected that after he asked Oda Nobunaga for several months of home leave, Oda Nobunaga agreed without much hesitation.
"Keep your wife and children, otherwise how will I know if you have run away?" Oda Nobunaga said with a smile after saying this, "I see that your kid has been acting weird these past few months, okay?
Take a rest and come back to work for me."
Oda Nobunaga's rare common sense made Amakihei very grateful, but the opposition at home was much greater. Naoe Tadayei, Amano Keitoku, Takenaka Shigeharu, Sena Ujiyoshi, and Sanada Masayuki were the five people he relied on to govern the country.
Soldiers and guards jointly wrote a letter to dissuade Yu Qiuping from returning to his hometown. However, Yu Qiuping had already decided to go. Even if his subordinates showed their emotions and reason, they would not waver, so they had no choice but to compromise. During Yu Qiuping's absence,
, Imagawa Kaede and Yu Qiu Shang took over the work that Yu Qiu Ping was originally responsible for, and Gobei had to assist Yu Qiu Shang and help him get started with these tedious tasks.
Yu Qiupei did not bring many guards with him on this trip, only Honda Tadakatsu, Mori Kotaka, Mori Ranmaru, Asahina Matsuchiyo and a few others. When Asahina Matsuchiyo reached the age where he could do things, Yu Qiupei recruited him too.
As his bodyguard, I hope he can be successful in the future and honor his ancestors, and his care for Yu Qiuping will not be in vain as Asahina Taihyung did.
At this moment, Yu Qiuping was disguising himself as an ordinary businessman, boarding a smuggling ship, preparing to go to South Zhili. It had been a long time since he had been on a ship in such a leisurely way, so he was very happy to hang out on the deck.
.He walked from the bow to the outside of the ship, but was suddenly attracted by the scenery in front of him.
It was a young girl, pouting her lips playfully, sitting in front of an easel, holding a brush in her hand, slowly sketching an outline on the drawing paper. The sea breeze blew, and the girl's hair on the temples was stirred.
, as the beautiful eyes flowed, there was a sense of tranquility that has passed through the years. The girl was as beautiful as a little girl who walked out of a painting, because her delicate facial features were not like those that could be bred by nature, and could only be created by painting.
Only the willow eyebrow cinnabar on it can be so beautiful.
Yu Qiuping was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and stopped for a moment, fearing to disturb the beautiful painting. However, curiosity still tempted him to stick to the side of the ship and walk behind the girl, wanting to see what the girl had drawn.
What--but I was surprised to find that the painting was exactly the portrait of Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping was taken aback. He looked carefully again with some disbelief to confirm that he was right. The angular face and deep-contoured features, as well as the weird bangs on his forehead and those
The iconic red leaf shawl is undoubtedly Yu Qiuping's.
"Your Highness Hongye, how did you do with the little girl?" Just when Yu Qiuping was stunned, a silver bell-like laughter suddenly came from in front of him. The girl turned around with a charming smile and used the holder of the brush as if to take credit.
Clicked on the drawing board.
"You?" Yu Qiuping was completely shocked and speechless when he heard this. His trip back to the Ming Dynasty in disguise should be a top-secret incident. Because once the news leaked, it would give the Miyoshi family and the Honganji family the opportunity to invade.
And Yu Qiuping, who didn't have many guards around him, was likely to be attacked by hostile ninjas. But why was he recognized by this girl at a glance? And she seemed to have known that Yu Qiuping would come?
"How did you recognize me?" Yu Qiuping asked in a deep voice with great vigilance. While spreading his hands to touch the ribs in his arms, he quickly glanced around the deck - there was no one else except him and the girl.
"The little girl met His Highness last year, and even painted for His Highness. Why, doesn't Your Highness remember the little girl?" Seeing that Yu Qiuping still looked wary and confused, the girl puffed up her cheeks angrily.
"Last year, His Highness asked someone to paint the maple forest on the east side of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle in the castle town of Maple Leaf Mountain City. The little girl was one of the painters His Highness hired! Your Highness doesn't remember it at all!"
"Ah... I have an impression of painting, but I have no impression of you at all, Miss..." Yu Qiuping scratched his head in embarrassment, "What's your name?"
"Yegu Suiko." The girl tucked her long, somewhat messy hair behind her ears and replied crisply.
"I have an impression of this name, but I can't put the person's face together." Yu Qiuping took a closer look at Ye Gusuizi's delicate face, and shook his head in confusion, "It's strange... you are so beautiful,
Why do I have no impression of you at all? Have you ever changed your hairstyle?"
"Ah... maybe, there used to be bangs here." After thinking for a moment, Ye Gusuizi pouted, nodded hesitantly, then immediately frowned and protested with some dissatisfaction: "But it's not too different!
Your Highness, please stop making excuses, you can’t even remember this, you are a stupid pig!”
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was immediately amused by the quirky girl in front of him, and his wariness gradually dissipated. Generally speaking, painters have very good memories of human faces, so it is not enough to remember Yu Qiuping.
Weird. And the reason why she is so unrestrained may be due to her simple acquaintance. "I am the dignified Guardian of Hanoi, the sixth Prime Minister of the Lower Administrative Department Yu Qiu Hongye, and you, a female painter of the people, actually called me a stupid pig.
?”
"Ah, anyway, according to His Highness who knows you, you have a good temper and will not get angry over such trivial things." Yegu Suiko smiled evilly upon hearing this, and at the same time tapped her painting with her hand, "This painting
His Highness also asked me to draw it!"
"Oh? Which Your Highness?" Yu Qiuping guessed a few answers in his mind to see if he was right. However, Ye Gusuizi shook his head, made a silent gesture, and whispered at the same time:
"It's a secret! You can't tell it!"
"Okay." Yu Qiuping smiled and leaned against the side of the ship. He was no longer wary. The girl named Yegu Suiko didn't seem to regard Yu Qiuping as a superior samurai at all, but talked to him like a friend. Yu Qiuping
Although I was surprised, I also quite liked this feeling of equal interaction.
"But to trouble Miss Suizi, please don't reveal my whereabouts. This is a secret trip. It will be very troublesome for too many people to know about me." Yu Qiuping talked to Ye Gu while talking.
Suiko negotiated, while hesitating whether to let the girl be put under house arrest first, and then let her out when he came back. But when she saw the innocent smile on the girl's face, she gave up her thoughts.
"That's natural. The little girl knows the importance." Ye Gusuizi nodded matter-of-factly, "His Highness, before the little girl left, repeatedly asked her not to reveal His Highness's whereabouts."
"What?" When Yu Qiuping heard this, he suddenly became vigilant and couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "There are actually other people who know my whereabouts?"
Seeing the change in Yu Qiuping's expression, Yegu Suizi realized that she had let something slip. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, hanging her head in confusion.
"You are the only one who still knows the importance? Are you a stupid pig?" Yu Qiuping looked at the girl, angry and funny, but the guard in his heart was put down again. Such a stupid and careless girl, walking on the street
Maybe she would be abducted by a bunch of candied haws. Which hostile force would send her as a spy? Is she here to die? Yu Qiuping didn't even ask, he just let the information slip. It seems that he was vigilant just now.
It was just a misunderstanding.
"Tell me, which Highness is it? Why does he know my whereabouts?" Yu Qiuping raised his eyebrows and asked in a kind tone, "Don't worry, I don't doubt whether Miss Suiko has any malicious intentions. If you do so with malicious intent,
If you come here, I can only say that His Highness who sent a stupid pig like you here must have had his brain kicked by a stupid donkey. Oh no, kicked by a stupid pig."
"I really can't say this! His Highness has repeatedly asked not to reveal his identity!" Yegu Suizi shook her head firmly when she heard this, "It's useless even if you hit me or scold me, Suizi can't say anything."
"You girl, oh no, you stupid pig." Yu Qiuping was really shocked by this girl's brain circuit. Looking at her painting skills, it was obvious that she was a very talented genius. And her words and deeds showed that
Her temperament and aura undoubtedly prove that she has received a good education. But why does such a talented and beautiful woman seem to have a mental age that is still in childhood?
Looking at the girl's cute expression as if she was looking at death, Yu Qiuping didn't know how to continue the question. But a girl who seemed to have no strength in her hands and couldn't lift anything heavier than a brush, right?
Since he was not a threat, Yu Qiuping was happy to make innuendoes - he had nothing to do on the ship anyway.
"Okay, Suizi, tell me, what else did your Highness tell you about me?" Yu Qiuping thought about it for a moment and asked another question.
"This..." Ye Gusuizi was a little confused after hearing this, and she subconsciously began to bite her fingers.
"Ah, if His Highness has asked you not to spill the beans, then you won't tell me anything. Tell me something that he didn't ask you not to tell." Yu Qiuping looked at her cute look and endured.
I couldn't help but follow the good advice, feeling like a 30-year-old middle-aged man was kidnapping a high school student. Oh no, an elementary school student.
"But there are so many words like this!" Yegu Suizi hesitated for a while and then let go of her thumb.
"Then pick the most interesting and important one." Yu Qiuping smiled and looked into the girl's eyes.
"Hmm..." Ye Gusuizi thought for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes suddenly glowed with light.
"He said that you are a time traveler! From more than four hundred years later!"
