The banquet didn't end until late at night, and the daughters of the princes and ministers had been arranged to stay in the courtyard one after another.

After singing and dancing for such a long time, He Xingyao felt that this power finally gained some popularity, and it was not too cold.

It's just that in the middle of the night, He Muzhi has already returned to his palace, and He Xingyao is resting in his bedroom with Chu Yuechen.

It was getting late, the wind was still blowing, and the doors and windows were not tightly closed, so the whole room was not very warm, but rather a little cold.

Chu Yuechen personally lit the candle, and then walked over and said: "Xingyao, you see that it is not too early this day, there are still many things to do tomorrow, why don't we rest now!" ”

He Xingyao glanced at her helplessly, and then said: "Yuechen, it's not that I don't want to rest, it's just that you don't know, for many days, I have been feeling extremely lonely, I am really scared, afraid that I will be lonely forever." ”

After a pause, she said in a slightly trembling voice, "You know what? I've always wanted to try to get rid of the loneliness in my heart, and I want to write as happily as possible, less sad, but I find that I can't do it at all, Yuechen, do you know how much I envy you? I envy the love between you and Murong Rin, I envy the lifestyle of the two of you, and I envy you even more for being able to break through all shackles and be brave and firm together, these are all things that I don't have, I am so eager for it, I look forward to it so diligently, but I can't look forward to it anyway, isn't it funny? Sometimes it's like God is playing a joke on me, I can't get what I want, everything I don't want, but I just stuff it, you say, isn't it sad? ”

Chu Yuechen listened to these words, and she was completely shocked.

For a long time, in Chu Yuechen's heart, she has always thought that He Xingyao's life must be very comfortable, there will not be so many bad things, and there is also the company of family and friends, and now that she is rich in the world, she will naturally have what she wants, anyway, this kind of life is something that others can't envy.

She always thought that He Xingyao should be happy and happy about such a life.

However, Chu Yuechen never thought that He Xingyao would have so many grievances and sadness in her heart, which she could never have imagined.

After a long time, Chu Yuechen thought about his tone and said: "Xingyao, you don't want to be like this, as your best friend, I know that you have come all the way, it seems easy, but in fact it is the most sad, but you must know that you have so many people around you to accompany you, your sister and parents have been looking forward to your good life, this is what they want to see the most, and my eldest brother, you have to think about him, he has always attached so much importance to you, the love he has for you in his heart, all the way, I have seen it in my eyes, Xingyao, You don't always think so pessimistic, you must know that in this world, spring, summer, autumn and winter are alternate, and there can never be only winter or spring, so we must always be full of hope and expectation for the future, believe in yourself, and be confident in the future, okay? ”

He Xingyao saw that she was so energetic, and he didn't want to be disappointed for a while, so he agreed with a wry smile.

It's just that the time is getting late, and that familiar feeling of fear and fear reappears.

He Xingyao quickly grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of him, and then his body trembled, and the whole person's performance was different from the usual calm and peaceful, but there was a strange feeling that could not be explained.

Chu Yuechen looked in the direction illuminated by the moonlight, and she saw such a scene:

He Xingyao under the moonlight, the whole person presents an extremely fragile beauty, this feeling is indescribable, but it adds a bit of mystery because of the dark night, the wind is blowing, and it is a little cold, which makes people feel a little depressed.

Chu Yuechen looked at this beautiful face, and some tears appeared at some point.

She gently raised her hand, took a handkerchief to help wipe the tears of the person in front of her, and said in a choked voice while wiping it: "Xingyao, I know that you have always been very aggrieved in your heart, but you must know that you are luckier than most people in this world, although your biological father and mother have given up on you one after another, but you and your sister, your family, and friends like me all get along very well, this is your success." ”

He Xingyao was still unmoved, her body continued to tremble violently, and then the overwhelming darkness hit, and she felt extremely frightened.

Chu Yuechen had no choice but to hold her in her arms, and then the two of them wrapped themselves in the quilt and snuggled together, warming each other.

Speaking of which, this Chu Yuechen is not very afraid of the dark on weekdays, but now that she is with He Xingyao, she always feels that she seems to be afraid of a lot of things, and that feeling is always indescribable.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

As this voice sounded one after another, Chu Yuechen felt that this crisp sound on weekdays was now a little creepy.

She found that He Xingyao became more and more out of shape with the spread of this voice.

Chu Yuechen had no choice but to comfort He Xingyao as much as possible in the quilt, and then bring warmth to the people in front of him as much as possible, so he scolded in this palace.

Perhaps because her scolding alarmed others, a palace maid soon came over with a lantern.

I saw that the palace maid didn't look very tired, but the whole person was still a little weird.

Chu Yuechen usually doesn't support others much, so when he suddenly saw such a palace maid appear in front of him, he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

Sure enough, almost half an hour later, the palace maid came over and saluted outside the curtain and said, "King, I don't know what the king needs slaves and maids for?" ”

He Xingyao was so frightened at that time that he couldn't speak at all.

Chu Yuechen could only temporarily top the tank, learn the tone of He Xingyao's speech on weekdays, and then pinched his nose and said: "There is no need for anything here, it is not early now, you better go back to rest early, and come back to guard tomorrow!" ”

Hearing this, although the palace maid felt a little strange, she didn't meow around, but just lowered her head and silently left with a candle.

After the palace maid completely walked away and closed the door of the dormitory, Chu Yuechen lifted the curtain, and then hurriedly went to the table and poured two cups of tea, then covered her heart and said: "Xingyao, I was really scared to death just now, do you sleep like this every night?" It turns out that when I didn't know it, you actually lived so hard, and I understood what you said. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Actually, you say that you envy me, but why don't I envy you? In this world, a person does not have eternal freedom at all, two people who love each other together, it seems that there is no barrier, but in fact, distance produces beauty, and it has been a long time, and now I can clearly feel that between Rin Gongzi and me, those former friendships are getting weaker and weaker, and the rest, that is, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, we have changed from the original love to live together, in fact, everyone will change, but sometimes we deliberately ignore it, I am actually very able to understand you, but Xingyao, Now you are no longer the little girl at home, you are the master of the whole world, the most important thing to do is to benefit the common people in the world, if you can, I will always help you, as long as you need. ”

When she said this, she didn't mean anything else, but she just sighed in her heart for a while!

When it was dawn the next day, He Xingyao woke up from his sleep dimly.

What she saw was that she was snuggled in Chu Yuechen's arms, the posture of the two people looked extremely intimate, and at the same time, Chu Yuechen didn't know what she did last night, and the one she slept was called a dead one, so that she couldn't drag it at all.

He Xingyao felt a little headache for a while, so he hurriedly walked over and said, "Chu Yuechen, wake up quickly!" ”

This way of waking people up can't work at all, but fortunately, He Xingyao didn't rush to wake people up, but he kept thinking about last night's events, and the fragments in his mind were all intermittent and scattered.

She felt a little pain in her head, so she pressed it with her thumb, and then began to seriously think back to the events of last night's banquet.

By the way, I should have met a woman last night, and the identity of that woman seems to be relatively noble in this capital, and there is a sister, she remembers that her sister should have joked with the girl last night.

When she thought of this, He Xingyao's heart was inexplicably stunned for a moment, she had been recalling the woman's appearance last night, which was very consistent with her own aesthetics all along.

Chu Yuechen was still in a state of deep sleep, but the smile on the corner of his mouth looked like he had a good dream, and the corners of his mouth flowed out of his mouth.

He Xingyao wiped her mouth with his sleeve with some disgust, and then said in a particularly arrogant tone: "Hmph, Chu Yuechen, you see how you can let me, the king, wipe your mouth for you, but you look so good when you are asleep, why didn't I see it before?" What a loss! ”

She said to herself, not noticing that the person in front of her had gradually woken up, and even winked mischievously at her.

He Xingyao felt a little thirsty, and it was almost noon, so she actually had a lot of things to do, so she didn't plan to delay in this room.

So, He Xingyao instructed the little palace maid who was guarding the door to let the person pay attention to Chu Yuechen's movements, and when the people woke up, they would personally serve to wash and dress.

Chu Yuechen is in He Xingyao's heart, although the status is not as good as He Xingyao's own sister, but it is also very important, otherwise He Xingyao would not lose his temper in order to support Chu Yuechen.

Since He Xingyao woke up, he had quickly entered the state, went outside to deal with things, and at the same time gathered some ministers to discuss with them the plan for the welfare of the people.

It's just that Yan Yunzhan has always been a little sullen recently, since he was seen through by Chu Yuan that day, he always felt extremely uncomfortable, and every time he saw Chu Yuan, he would have a feeling of being watched.

He Xingyao, as one of his best friends on weekdays, naturally saw his changes.

So, He Xingyao directly smiled and teased: "Yun Zhan, why do you look so unhappy recently?" Otherwise, tomorrow I will let Mu Zhi and Chu Yuan take you to walk around the capital together, and it is good to go to the suburbs to relax, okay? ”

Being able to get his sweetheart to ask like this, Yan Yunzhan's heart was a little fluttering, but he actually knew that He Xingyao had always treated him like a good friend, and he didn't have any other thoughts at all, but he himself, there was always a feeling of inexplicability, that feeling was terrifying, and at the same time, she felt that she couldn't even control the warm emotions in her heart, as if she was in danger of collapsing at any time.

So, he could only try his best to endure it, and forcibly said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's a blessing for the king to care about his subordinates, but the minister didn't feel any unhappiness." ”

Although He Xingyao saw that he seemed unhappy, since this person was unwilling to say it, she was not willing to force it, so she could only sigh helplessly, and then turned away.

She looked at Yan Yunzhan, but she always felt a little lost in her heart.

When did all these changes start to happen quietly?

He Xingyao has gained many good friends and the support of many people along the way, but why? Why have all the people around me changed? Why was it that he was able to speak from the bottom of his heart at the beginning, but now he has to hide it?

She didn't understand, or maybe she understood, but she didn't want to accept such a cruel reality.

In short, this feeling is very indescribable.

After a long time, she said in a tentative tone: "Yun Zhan, do you know how long it has been since I have spoken well to others? ”

Yan Yunzhan shook his head, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

He Xingyao continued: "This is really a sad thing, I feel that you have changed, become different from before, become strange to me, and become distant from me. ”

When she said this, her expression looked a little lonely and lonely.

Although Yan Yunzhan felt pain in his heart, he had no choice, those charming thoughts that grew with the sprouting of plants and trees, he had already endured extremely painful thoughts, and now being able to maintain such a distance was already the greatest gift from God to him.

But so what? There is no way to say such a fact.

Even if He Xingyao had already sensed his thoughts, it would be useless after all, all of this was simply unsolvable.

He sighed and said, "The king cares about Weichen as always, but what you should care about is the people of the world, as well as the society of the country. ”

He Xingyao smiled and teased: "You are more concerned than I am about the people of the world and the society of the country, Yun Zhan, there should be no strangeness between us, you will still call my name in the future as before, okay?" ”

Yan Yunzhan nodded.

Whether it's good or not, he can only obey orders.

It's just that behind this obedient person, Yan Yunzhan clearly felt the change in the situation, and He Xingyao, I don't know when it started, it has changed, but more, he felt the loneliness and helplessness in He Xingyao's heart, which only true friends can feel.

Chu Yuan didn't understand, but he saw it very thoroughly.
