Chapter 021: Starry Night
The sunset on the horizon was as red as fire, Shen Mei stared at the sky outside the window until the willows on the moon, and the dark night shrouded the huge palace.
There has always been a light in the Jinyu Palace, and Shen Mei was reluctant to let the lotus heart blow out, and looked greedily at the small invisible sky outside the window.
The lilac bed veil was blown by the evening breeze, and it was like a dream under the light of the dancing orange candles, and the faint rose fragrance that filled the room became clearer and clearer in the cold wind.
Shen Mei lay on the bed and watched all this quietly, for fear of breaking the silence.
"Girl, it's hard at night, let's turn off the lights." Lianxin picked a lantern flower, and the lamp flickered.
Shen Mei looked out the window infatuatedly, there were no stars twinkling in the dark night, like a huge black hole, she shook her head and said to herself: "Is there no stars tonight?" ”
Lianxin glanced outside, sighed, took out the burned candle, and was about to replace it with a new one, when a hand was suddenly held down, "Turn off the lights." ”
She looked up and saw that the owner of her hand was covered with dust, but her complexion was not reduced, obviously it was the third prince Mu Jinyu, she nodded, hurriedly blew out the candle, and casually dimmed the room and blended into the night outside.
Shen Mei saw that Mu Jinyu had a gray face out of nowhere, and was about to get up, but he asked Lianxin to extinguish the candle, and the room was dark, dark for a moment, and Shen Mei was puzzled and was about to ask Mu Jinyu, but saw him take out a pack of yellow fluorescent from his sleeve like a baby.
Mu Jinyu walked to her bedside, lifted the lilac gauze curtain, slowly opened the strap of the bag, and one by one the fluorescence was free and began to fly, like twinkling stars in the sky.
"Fireflies!" Shen Mei was pleasantly surprised, her eyes reflected fluorescence, she reached out to take the little insect, held it in the palm of her hand, and felt it fly around in the palm of her hand, making her palm itch.
Shen Mei smiled brightly, as delicate as a rose blooming in the house, she turned her head to look at Mu Jinyu, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, "Where did you catch so much?" ”
Mu Jinyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shen Mei dotingly, a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into a smile, "Of course it's outside the palace." He reached out to catch a firefly and sent it to Shen Mei's eyes, the small firefly fluttered its wings, and soon flew away.
Seeing this, Lianxin retreated with amusement, and closed the door gently, and the moment the door closed, a chuckle came from the room to break the silence of the night.
Mu Jinyu still has dew on his body, and the hem of his clothes is stained with the dew of plants and trees, because the place where the fireflies are located is too remote, his sleeve was hooked by an unknown branch, and he smiled at Shen Mei while squeezing the dew on his body with his hands, "I have fulfilled this wish." ”
"Sort of, but there's one last one." Shen Mei thought about it and nodded, it doesn't matter, and she wants to fly, she doesn't believe that Mu Jinyu can make herself fly, her leg was not injured before, he can fly with a sword, but now it's different, is it possible that he can make the bed fly.
The corners of Mu Jinyu's mouth rose slightly, and his peach blossom eyes were full of confidence, he should get down, and smiled indifferently, "Of course this prince knows, if I do it, you have to take medicine obediently." ”
When Shen Mei saw his expression, she suddenly had no bottom in her heart, she was so sure, and she made conditions to her, but she didn't speak again.
Mu Jinyu laughed proudly, "Why, I don't even dare to agree." After that, I can only let others say that it is the lame Fujin of the third prince. When he finished speaking, he smiled more and more happily.
When Shen Mei heard him say this, she was suddenly aroused, what his lame Fu Jin, this is too ugly, "Okay, I promise, who is afraid." She looked up at him with a starry eye in her eyes.
"It's a deal!" Mu Jinyu smiled in her eyes reflecting the light, and a smile crossed the corner of her mouth, like a cunning fox who had succeeded.
Shen Mei turned her head, chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition, but she agreed, she still didn't believe that he had the ability.
She went to see the fireflies flying in the light gauze tent, and the wind gently sent it, blowing up the corner of the light yarn, and the fluorescent flow in the yarn, like the stars reflected on the sea surface undulating with the waves.
The night was slightly cool, quiet and serene, Shen Mei stretched out her hand to grab a firefly at hand, feeling it flying in her hand, she looked up at Mu Jinyu on the side, "Send them back." ”
"Why?" Someone was puzzled, looking at her face that was not very clear under the fluorescence, he had finally caught it, not to mention that she still liked it, how could she easily put it back.
Shen Mei was serious, let go of the little insects that were struggling in her palms and couldn't fly, and said again, "If you give them back their freedom, their lives are so short, why waste them in our hands." ”
Mu Jinyu smiled indifferently, but agreed to come down, as long as she was happy, whatever he wanted, he walked to the window door and opened the window, and the slow meteor-like fireflies flew away from the window.
Shen Mei watched the glowing fireflies in the gauze curtain become less and less like sand flowing between her fingers, and watched the meteors flying out form a long fluorescence like the Milky Way, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.
For a while, the palace was full of flying fluorescents, which were dotted with dreamy colors in this dark night.
Fireflies flew to all corners of the palace, under a lamp in the east palace, Fusheng was holding a cup of bitter tea, raised his eyes and inadvertently saw the light outside the window, he got up, poked his head out, and saw that the direction they flew out was Mu Jinyu's Jinyu Palace.
"It's her." He said to himself, he closed the window, and walked back to the tea table, whether happy or worried, that he would treat her well than by his own side. But in this life, he doesn't know if he can see that bright face like a flower again, maybe that's okay, at least they are in the palace, he knows that she is very good.
And Shen Mei is very good, there is a person next to her who is willing to fulfill all his wishes for him, she looked at the little fluorescence in the room, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.
Starry Night, this wish, he also fulfilled for her.
