Chapter 227: Sleepless Night
I don't know if someone did it intentionally or providently, after spending an afternoon in the princess's bedroom, Shen Mei signaled that she wanted to go back. Xiao Tao stole half a day's leisure, and after waking up, she was full of energy, and the two asked the princess to resign.
The reluctance in the little princess's eyes, Shen Mei looked a little distressed, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." "Rubbing the little princess's head dotingly.
After receiving permission, the little girl nodded vigorously, and the smile on her face was like a flower.
It is rare that there is a cold crescent moon in the night today, and a star shines near the moon, a star in January
There is a different taste in it, every time she looks up at the starry sky, Shen Mei will have a feeling of being baptized, because of the little princess who told her about her in the Guozijian Prison, her heart is a little unhappy, as if she has been touched with mud.
Now seeing this breezy and bright moon, the bright moonlight seems to have purifying power, which gives Shen Mei's little heart a clear sense of comfort.
It's just that this feeling didn't last long, and I faintly saw a familiar figure outside the Fengluan Hall not far away, and I hadn't seen him for many days, Shen Mei was a little excited for a while, and just wanted to follow, but in just a moment, I saw Mu Qingfeng striding out with a woman in her arms.
Shen Mei turned sideways, grabbed Xiao Tao with one hand, and the two of them stuck to the wall, not wanting to be noticed.
Tonight's Mu Qingfeng wore a silver-white brocade robe, different from the dark robe he loved to wear every day, tonight, he exuded like the crescent moon he had just seen, silent and bright light, the silver-white robe was reflected in the moonlight, like a bright wave of light into the silence of the moonlight.
But at this time, Shen Mei's expression dimmed a lot, as Mu Qingfeng and the figure of the woman in his arms gradually dissipated from sight.
wanted to pretend that it didn't matter, but sighed inadvertently, and the look of loss in his expression made the little peach on the side feel pity when he saw it. Shen Mei's hand was tightened, and Shen Mei didn't realize that her palm was so cold.
Xiao Tao sensed, "Sister Mei, let's go back." ”
At the moment, I didn't know how to comfort Shen Mei, so Xiao Tao lost the noise in the past, quietly led Shen Mei, and the two walked to the rose garden without a word.
Shen Mei pretended to be calm and forced a chuckle on the corner of her mouth. "Xiao Tao, you said it's March, why is it so cold at night."
Xiao Tao's concerned gaze fell on Shen Mei. Knowing Shen Mei's temperament, everything else is good, it is good for everyone, but it is not good for herself, she pushes herself to a desperate place, and likes to pretend to be light and light, which makes people feel distressed.
"yes, go back early, I'll boil you some hot water to warm up."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and did not say anything more on the way back.
When I met him, I was happy, but now it has become a dull heart, as if the mud that has just been brushed away from my heart has been pulled into a swamp again, and I am sinking deeper and deeper.
Mu Qingfeng's anxious expression just now, Shen Mei saw it in her eyes, and thought that she had only seen that kind of expression, and she had never told Mu Qingfeng that after she was rescued by him several times, seeing his tense expression, she would always be moved in her heart, and that feeling was as if she was a very important person to him.
Unexpectedly, today's nervous look is for other people.
In the Fengluan Palace, the people who can be paid so much attention to it, except for Princess Jing, who the queen is now intending to cultivate, I don't know who else there will be.
Since she first met Qiu Rong'er, Shen Mei knew the queen's intentions, and it seemed that she was nothing more than changing her ways to make it difficult for her to retreat.
In fact, he didn't think about anything else at all, he kept trying to restrain himself, and even refused Mu Qingfeng, turning a blind eye to his feelings, but the more he resisted something, the more it was melted into his heart.
When she returned to the Rose Garden, Shen Mei pretended that nothing had happened, and indeed nothing had happened, she just saw Mu Qingfeng anxiously holding a woman out of the Fengluan Palace.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Tao knocked on Shen Mei's door angrily, knowing that Shen Mei was not resting, she didn't say anything more, and pushed the door open.
Shen Mei heard the movement and got up to look.
Xiao Tao entered the house, did not forget to close the door, and did not come to Shen Mei, with a look of grievance, Shen Mei didn't know why, "Sister Mei, tell me, what is going on?" I just heard the little eunuch say that the third prince had brought Mrs. Qiu's daughter to his bedroom. This is not..."After thinking about the latter words, he was afraid of making Shen Mei sad, but he couldn't help but want to tell his sister Mei that the three princes were also a lord who was in the morning and evening, which made Xiao Tao resentful.
Although Shen Mei didn't say it, but her feelings for Mu Qingfeng, she saw it in her eyes, a few days ago she saw Mu Qingfeng was so good to Shen Mei, which made others envious, Xiao Tao thought that this was probably the so-called true love, and she was happy for Shen Mei.
However, not long after, the third prince began to see different ideas, and also brought other women back to his dormitory, before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone knew that it was the third prince who saved Sister Mei and took her to his own dormitory for treatment.
Everyone in the palace is saying that Shen Mei will be Princess Jing in the future. It's good now, take someone back, what kind of situation is this to put Shen Mei's face.
Not only was Xiao Tao cold, but even the other girls in the rose garden were worried because they heard about it.
Shen Mei listened, picked up the clothes on the hanger, and draped them on her body, "Then, didn't you just bring someone in, what's the matter, who is the third prince, you don't know, I don't know?" Well, don't think about it, let them say whatever they like. “
"Today's business, let it be over, don't mention it again."
Xiao Tao was puzzled, obviously seeing Shen Mei sad before.
"But..."
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Shen Mei. "Don't be it, it's been a few shifts, don't sleep again, go to the little princess tomorrow morning, you have to be sleepy again, if the queen mother knows, see what you do." The amusement on his face made Xiao Tao only secretly angry.
With a sigh, he turned and walked out the door. When it was over, I couldn't help but look back at Shen Mei. Didn't say anything more.
When Xiao Tao walked away, Shen Mei lost her sleepiness, took off the clothes on her body, her slender voice looked vulnerable, the candle flame was about to burn out, and the dim candlelight hit Shen Mei's body, and she didn't feel half of the warmth.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Mei has been leaning on the edge of the bed, sleepless all night, and later, when the sky is getting brighter and the rooster crows at dawn, she forced herself to close her eyes.
