Chapter 25: The Fruit of the Stars
"Well, it's delicious." The brute knife suddenly squatted down and picked up a piece of red bean crisp, put it in his mouth and ate it with relish.
"If you think you have lost something, the prince must not eat it again."
"The brute knife once heard a poem, red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. I wonder if there is also acacia hidden in this crisp? The brute's pale blue eyes were like the vast sky, and he looked at the rain and seemed to have a little more loneliness.
"This crisp is so sweet, how can it tolerate the bitterness of lovesickness, does the prince know how much frosting sugar I put in it?"
"Uh... I think it must be able to cover the weight of the bitterness. The brute knife hesitated for a moment and replied, and then said, "The county lord made the pastries so carefully, how can the brute knife destroy the heavens." By this time, the brute had picked up all the pastries.
"I never thought that the prince still had a delicate heart, so it would please girls, and there will be many women who will miss it!"
"Huh! The brute knife is only happy with one person. The brute's hand was pressed to his chest.
"The prince should go quickly, it's too late to go?" Yu Fei reminded with kind words, and also wanted to interrupt the brute knife to show his heart.
"The county lord doesn't need to worry, the brute knife will send someone to it. When the county lord comes to the door, how can the brute knife make the county lord come back another day? The brute knife made a gesture of please.
Yufei was brought to his room by a brute knife, and the interior was fragrant and elegant, with a door on the left and right extending inward.
"Where can the rain be?"
"Rain? Ah, she! The brute knife has sent her to the night. "When it comes to Yusi, the brute knife is more or less unhappy in his heart.
"So fast? I thought he would go back with you. Yufei was a little worried about the rain, the night was far away, and the rain was not accompanied by a brute knife, and he went on the road alone, and he didn't know how much wind and frost he would endure.
"What is the county lord thinking? Taste this. "The brute knife brought a delicate plate from the table, and there were two star-shaped fruits on the plate.
"It's nothing, I just want you to give her some love." Yu Fei took one, and the fruit was crystal clear, slightly yellow and dark blue, like a star in the hazy night sky.
"How is that possible? The affection of the brute knife to the county lord can be ignored, it doesn't matter! The brute knife can smear the county lord's liver and brain, and can promise the county lord all things, but only this heart, except for you, it is impossible to give a penny to others. The brute knife put the fruit bowl back on the table, and picked up a knife on the table to cut the fruit on the plate, and bright red juice flowed from the crack of the knife.
"I'm sorry! Maybe I shouldn't say more, but I really hope you can treat her better. ”
"Want to see its core?"
"Don't you think Yusi is pitiful?"
The brute knife shaved the flesh deafly.
Seeing this, Yufei had to wait quietly for him to finish shaving, only to see a blue kernel resembling the shape of a heart.
"What kind of fruit is this, what a beautiful pit!"
"This is the fruit of the stars," the brute knife pointed to the fruit in Yu Fei's hand and continued, "this is the core of its heart. ”
"Heart core?" Yu Fei sniffed the fruit of the stars, and suddenly felt a faint bitterness in his mouth.
"The tree of stars that only grows in the middle of Xinghai Lake blooms once in ten years, blooms for ten years, and then bears only one fruit."
"What a magical fruit tree, is there a lot of such trees in Xinghai Lake?"
"Huh? Well! A lot. The brute knife was slightly stunned.
"What a beautiful fruit, huh? Why are there only two? Yufei looked at the empty fruit bowl and there was only some red juice left.
"It's very beautiful, the county lord can't help but taste it." The brute knife picked up the fruit and handed it to Yu Fei.
"I'd better not eat it, you'll have this one left, right?" Yu Fei gently placed the fruit on the table.
"There's a lot of it there." The brute knife picked up the fruit and handed it to Yu Fei and said, "Just now, the county lord invited the brute knife to taste the delicious red bean crisp, and now the brute knife invites the county lord to taste the fruit of the stars that has no night." Don't postpone it any longer. The brute knife looked sincere.
"Then I'll eat it."
Yufei took a bite of the fruit of the stars, the mouth was bitter and bitter, and then a refreshing fragrance seemed to support her whole person to float up, the wind blowing from the window blew her hair, at this moment the brute knife seemed to see the galaxy behind her, and she walked on the ice.
The brute shook his head and blinked his eyes fiercely, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
He took a leftover heart core from Yufei's hand and found that it was red.
His heart was rejoicing, though he had been sure when he first saw her that she was the woman of his dreams.
He didn't tell her that what she was eating was actually their rare treasure of the night, the Dream Fruit, also known as the Fruit of the Stars.
Dream Fruit is a sacred tree that grows in the middle of Xinghai Lake, it is guarded by four generations of the Nightless Royal Family, it blooms once every hundred years, the flowers bloom for a hundred years without falling, and after a hundred years, it will bear two small fruits, and the fruit is ripe for a hundred years. The kings of the past dynasties who have sought the fruit of their dreams either ask the rivers and mountains or ask the blessings of longevity and Kangning. His father didn't need to ask anything else, he gave him the Dream Fruit.
He came to the desert, he met her, she ate the dream fruit, the core of the fruit is not blue.
Blue is for finding, red is for encounter. That's right, he found her, he met her, it was her.
Even though she was pregnant now, what was it, he just had to love her with all his might.
"Thank you, Prince of the Brute Sword, after eating this fruit, Yufei's body is extremely comfortable." Yufei said and waved his sleeves slightly.
"County Lord, can you call me a brute knife in the future?"
"Okay, then you don't want to be called by the county lord and county lord, just call me Yufei."
"Okay, Yufei."
The brute knife said in exchange for the maidservant laying a cushion on a chair.
"Yufei sit down quickly, I've been standing for so long, I'm tired!" The brute knife moved the chair to Yufei's side.
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that the brute knife was so enthusiastic, Yufei had to sit down.
"Childe, there is one more thing about Yufei's coming." Yufei stood up again.
Fei'er sat down and spoke. This is the maid has brought a cup of red jujube tea, and the brute knife took the jujube tea from the servant girl holding it, "This is the nightless fragrant jujube tea, which can replenish blood and invigorate qi, the county lord tastes it." ”
"That's that day," Yu Fei took the teacup and looked at the maid, the brute knife motioned her to retreat, and when she saw the maid walk out, Yu Fei said: "In that small courtyard, after I left, did Lin'er leave?" I couldn't find her, and I was worried that something was wrong with her. ”
"Oh, she! She was still in the courtyard when I left. The brute knife suddenly remembered something as he spoke, paused for a moment and said, "The county lord probably doesn't need to worry about her, she is skilled, and she can't be trapped in that courtyard." ”
"Skilled?" Yu Fei was startled and the jujube tea he was holding overflowed.
"Fei'er, be careful! Is it hot? The brute knife hurriedly got up.
"It's fine!" Yu Fei handed the little remaining jujube tea to the brute knife, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it.
"It's all wet, it's not going to work." The brute knife said in exchange for the maidservant and said, "Quickly go to the Luo room to get a set of clothes." ”
"Don't bother, it's okay, I'll do it soon."
"Fei'er is not alone now, you must be extra careful!" The brute knife looked serious.
"Huh? Not alone? Yu Fei looked at the brute knife and pointed to his abdomen, and nodded thoughtfully.
The brute must have thought that she was really pregnant, and this prince was infatuated enough, didn't he mind if she was pregnant? How can she be so charming! Besides, she's disheartened right now. But it's okay, he misunderstood that he was pregnant, and he could also refuse his infatuation here.
"Yufei's body is inconvenient, and he still doesn't change his clothes. Just now, the brute knife said that Lin'er is skilled, what's going on? ”
"Doesn't Fei'er know that Lin'er is a beauty in the tent of His Royal Highness King Xu? He not only pleases the king with his beauty, but also often accompanies the king in and out of the territory because of his skills. ”
"That's what happened!" Yufei sank into her chair, and her heart sank and sank.
She had thought about Yulin's identity countless times, but none of them were linked to Meng Wei. Could it be that he just put a man next to her nakedly, and didn't he refuse both men and women? Could it be that he approached her just to take advantage of her? She held back her tears, but the tears still flowed out of her breath.
She wiped away her tears, tried to squeeze a smile at the brute knife, and got up to leave.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Don't embarrass yourself, just cry if you want to. The brute comforted him, like a child who had done something wrong.
He once thought that the child she was pregnant with was Yunting's, but he didn't know what the relationship between her and Meng Wei was? She doesn't say, and he doesn't want to ask.
But looking at her emotions at this time, he seemed to understand something.
Seeing her so sad, his heart ached.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's me who is too stupid." Yufei choked.
"It's okay, Fei'er, whatever happened in the past is over, so I'll protect you in the future. Come back to the Nightless with me! The knife helped her wipe her tears.
"Thank you, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to see your Xinghai Palace and see the rain, but not now." Yufei looked outside the door and saw fallen leaves.
She said goodbye to the brute knife and walked out of the restaurant, and the brute knife chased him out to put on a cloak for Yufei, he said, "It's cool in autumn, take care of yourself." ”
She stood in the shadow of the sun and nodded and smiled at him, everything beautiful was a little unreal.
