The Cuizhu Garden is not large, and a small bamboo forest in the backyard is the favorite activity area of the moon. In the bamboo forest, the long bamboos with the thickness of the wrist grow left and right at will, and it looks natural without human care.

The afternoon sun shines through the layers of bamboo leaves and illuminates the ground in spots. At the innermost end of the bamboo forest is Cao Ran's forbidden area, where there are more than a dozen green bamboos in a cave-like shape, and the moon often lazily gnaws on the thickest bamboos next to the cave. Cao Ran built a hammock out of a quilt and hemp rope on the outermost side of the bamboo forest, and often came out with October to bask in the sun.

The first time Cao Ran approached that place, Moonlight sprang out of nowhere and jerked her to the ground, standing in front of her and staring at her viciously until she was out of the range. Outside the bamboo forest, the eyes of the moon lover are dark blue, although occasionally she feels a chill when she crosses his gaze.

Lovers often keep a distance of about three meters from her, crouching and resting, not far away, not close, as if deliberately keeping a distance and enjoying each other's company.

Half a month later, Mama Li brought hibiscus flowers, and the petals had withered a little.

Cao Ran carefully put away the hibiscus and said, "To be able to find such a rare hibiscus, His Highness must have wasted a lot of effort, right?" ”

"This plant has never been heard of in the Jin Kingdom, and it was found by His Royal Highness in Nanchu, and it is indeed not easy to obtain."

"Mama, do you know why His Royal Highness wants to raise a moon-lover in the house, after all, the moon-lover is a beast, and it is inconvenient to be in the house." Cao Ran struck while the iron was hot to find out.

Mama hesitated for a moment and said, "The people in the house think that His Highness keeps the moon as a pet, but you have also been here for more than half a month, do you often come over?" ”

"I've only been here once in half a month." Listening to Mama Li's words, Cao Ran felt that Yu Wenqiao had only come once for so long, and he only took the blood of the moon and left, did he raise the moon not because he liked it, but to take the blood of the moon?

Mama Li lowered her voice and said, "No matter what His Highness raises the moon love, we just need to do our part." ”

"Is it for the blood of the moon?" Cao Ran always felt that Mama Li knew something.

"Yes and no."

Cao Ran was really tired and panicked when she was hung by Mama Li like this, "Mama, just tell me, I haven't even had anyone to talk to for so long, so you should tell me a story." ”

Mama Li is also a cheerful person, and she feels that Cao Ran is also a person involved, and it doesn't hurt that she usually doesn't contact other people to talk about it. Then he said: "To be precise, the existence of the moon is because of a woman, her name is Qinglian, who was brought back from outside when His Highness was fifteen years old when he was enshrined in the mansion. Since she entered the mansion, her body has been very weak, and she has been living in the most remote Huanju room in the mansion. I haven't seen her in years. ”

"I haven't seen you in years!" Cao Ran repeated in surprise and asked, "Isn't she going out to walk around?" ”

Mama Li nodded and said, "I've never come out, so most people in the house don't know about her existence." And I only helped her change her clothes a few times when she was unconscious. ”

"Then what is the relationship between the moon and Qinglian?" Cao Ran asked.

"Miss Qinglian suffers from a very rare disease, and she has to use the blood of the snow wolf as medicine, so His Royal Highness traveled thousands of miles to the snow mountain to search for a month before he found the moon that is still a wolf cub." Mama Li stared at the air and recalled.

"Your Highness has put so much effort into the blue lotus, so what is the origin of this woman? Could it be the woman His Highness likes? Cao Ran expressed her conjecture.

Mama Li motioned her to be cautious and said: "No one knows what Miss Qinglian is, and no one dares to ask, Miss Qinglian has always been commensurate with His Royal Highness's brothers and sisters, and His Royal Highness and the princess are also very affectionate, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Oh, don't worry, Mama, I'm just speculating on my own, His Royal Highness and the princess are so affectionate, and how can Xiao Shizi still like other women." Cao Ran pretended to affirmatively say.

Mama Li talked too much for a while, and Fang Jue said too much, so she didn't want to stay for a long time and left in a hurry when she said that she still had an errand.

Cao Ran didn't expect that there was such an unknown woman by Yuwenqiao's side. Thinking about it, I think that Qinglian is also a poor person, suffering from a strange disease and using the blood of the snow wolf to use medicine, she has been placed in the Huanju room for many years and has never come out, and even the people who live in the same house don't know her existence, so what is the meaning of her existence. turned to think of himself, isn't he also isolated from the world like Qinglian, and where is the meaning of his life.

retracted his thoughts, only to realize that after chatting with Mama Li for a long time, he forgot that he hadn't added food to Yueyue, and Yueyue was looking at it with his eyes.

After Cao Ran's careful care during this time, Yueyue's wound has almost healed. Cao Ran cleaned up Moon's wounds again, and carefully observed that the hairs on the inside of Moon's two front legs were only short, sparse hairs, which were obviously different from the shiny and dense hairs elsewhere. The roots of the hair are covered with scars.

Starting from the little wolf cub, they have to be stabbed once a month, and new injuries are added when the old injuries are first healed. Cao Ran looked at the fragrant Yueyue who was eating, and said to herself in great distress: "If you hadn't been brought here to suffer, maybe there would have been a territory on the snowy mountain that belongs to you now." And me, where will I be now......" Maybe it's because of a recent person, Cao Ran is always thinking cranky.

After the meal, Cao Ran tried many ways to make the moon run, and she wanted to strengthen the moon love's exercise, so that she could have a stronger body to resist the pain. It may be the reason for the early spring, the moon lover became more and more lazy, but he couldn't be interested, until in the end, the tossed Cao Ran ran more than 20 laps, and the moon lover just shook a few laps slowly.

When she ran to the gate of the courtyard of Cuizhu Garden, she noticed that the gate had been locked all along, no wonder they didn't worry about Yueyue running out. Thinking that he and the moon were locked alone in the yard, it couldn't help but be a little sad, but fortunately, he got along well with the moon, compared with those high-sounding and scheming people outside, it was more comfortable to live with the moon, so I felt better when I thought about it.

I haven't run for a long time, and Cao Ran is already sweating profusely after more than 20 laps. After taking a comfortable hot bath, I realized that I didn't know when the moon was gone.

After searching the entire Cuizhu Garden, there is no trace of the moon, and the green bamboo in the small bamboo forest is still printed with traces that have just been bitten. Finally, a gap was found on the left side of the courtyard gate, just large enough for the moon to pass through. Cao Ran clearly remembered that there was no gap at the gate of the courtyard when she was running.

He was pacing at the gate of the garden when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
