Long nights, no sleep.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turned out that everyone was bored and needed a nightlife.

Even Prince Xiaoman dragged him and a group of small followers to toss around, and a group of guards went to hide and seek behind the palace for half a day to walk around, and I gave him the idea, which not only passed the time, but also exercised the team. Let them hold a wooden sword, the head of the sword is dyed with paint, while hiding and looking for it, you can also sneak attack each other, take the wooden sword and poke it, and the paint on the body means that you are injured and leave the field, so play for two or three hours, and the child's energy is almost consumed, and he just sleeps.

I came up with this idea, Xiao Manke was broken, and the female officer Tasha Ke next to him couldn't be happy, and I was afraid that he would scratch and hurt, and I was afraid that he would hurt others, but she didn't have the courage to whisper to me, just took the palace maid to guard the side, and looked and shouted a few times from time to time to ensure safety.

"Is the princess going to rest?" Yali fanned for me, I don't know what kind of bird feather fan, snow-white velvet raw edges, and the fan also has a pattern of peacock green thread and gold thread. I shook my head, not wanting to sleep. Hordia has already left the palace and gone home, Ansuna may have gone to her sister's, and I'm bored.

The scene of the river festival during the day was always dangling in front of my eyes, and I stood up and smoothed my skirt: "Let's go to the temple." ”

Yali followed me, and I didn't take a step, but walked unhurriedly, as if I were taking a walk after dinner.

The guard at the entrance of the temple saluted me, and a young bald monk saw me at the door and hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness the Princess." ”

"No need to be polite, what is the priest doing?"

He said, "Princess, please wait a moment, I will go to the priest." ”

"No need to ......," I could say, and before I could finish my sentence, he turned and ran in. Yali scolded in a low voice: "It's really unruly. ”

"I'm young, maybe I'm new."

Not long after he ran inside, Immorton came out of it. He was wearing a plain robe of white cotton yarn, and his smile was warm and calm: "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

"Good evening, Immorton." I said, "I don't think you're going to bed so early, so come and have a look." ”

He turned sideways: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please come in." ”

The temple's lights and shadows were draped, the spices and fuels emitted a rich and intoxicating fragrance, and the long shadows dragged on the walls made of ashlar stones, passing through the dazed and trance of thousands of years......

"Princess?"

I turned around and was at the door, but I stopped there and froze.

"Did the princess go out for a walk?"

"Well, so what do you do at night?"

He smiled: "Look at the book, write something, pray to God, and then sleep peacefully." ”

"Well, there's nothing to do at night."

"There are often songs and dances in the pharaoh's palace, don't princesses go to see them?"

"What's so nice about that? Even if it is very prosperous for a while, it is inevitable that the song will end and people will disperse. I said, "I don't like the desolation that comes after the fuss." Besides, what's so good about those songs and dances?"

He smiled silently, and after a while said, "I am the same as the princess on this point." ”

His eyes were particularly gentle, and the lights in the corridor reflected in his eyes, and the eyeballs were golden brown and shining, like amber gems. My heart moved slightly, my face became inexplicably hot, and I turned my head and said, "It's not all bad to sing and dance, it's just that those in the palace are all dazzling and don't like it." ”

"I'll treat the princess to a honey bar."

I nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The mead is the same as the one in my palace, but I don't know why, maybe it's the dim light and the dull aroma here, which makes the wine feel more mellow. Or maybe it's because someone is talking and chatting with you, and you feel happy. There is an old saying in China that there is a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and the famous sayings are really reasonable.

"By the way, I took the flute away last time, and I haven't thanked you yet."

He smiled, holding in his hand a seven-colored lacquered wine glass, the honey in the glass swirling, and the slightly thicker wine seemed to be able to hang on the glass.

"By the way, I saw you have several instruments there last time, so why don't you take them out and let's study them together."

He smiled and agreed, and asked the little waiter next door to pick up the piano.

The piano is very strange, it has thirteen strings, the music is indescribably strange, but it is also good, and it is different from any string music I remember.

Hmm, I've learned musical instruments before, right?

It seems to be impressive, but it's vague. I really haven't seen this instrument before.

I plucked the strings lightly and looked up at him, "Immorton, you can play, right?" ”

He was about to speak, and I preemptively said, "Don't say no." I handed the piano over: "Come on, don't be stingy, show your hand and take a look." ”

He heard Lu Hand in his hand, thought for a moment, and then smiled suddenly.

"Okay, then I'll be ugly."

He placed the piano on his lap and stretched his fingers.

His fingers are very long, and whether he writes or holds a sword, he is particularly steady and calm.

Play...... It's the same, right?

The melody he plays is very leisurely and calm, just like he behaves as a person.

But beneath the laid-back surface, there seems to be something stirring, something unsettling.

I remembered the fierceness and decisiveness with which he swung his sword, and the awe-inspiring pride he felt when he stood on the high platform of the temple......

And now it sounds indifferent and calm.

It's so elusive.

But hey, I like it.

The more complex, the better. A good man should be like a good wine, the deeper the mellow, the richer the better.

He didn't know what to think, his eyes fell on my face, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were like water, and the melody under his fingers was still the same.

I took a sip of the wine glass, and the honey wine, which was still very palatable just now, seemed to be more viscous, hanging in my throat, itchy and sweet, and it was difficult to get rid of for a long time.

The open window could see the courtyard outside, the moonlight was like mercury, and the cool wind blew on my face, which was completely different from the daytime heat, and I closed my eyes, and in the sound of the piano, I seemed to hear ...... The sound of flowers blooming.
