Chapter 550: Sleepless
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and only the insects are heard.
Unable to fall asleep, she opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
Fire Dance knew that she was not asleep, nor was she asleep, and when she saw her sit up, she sat up from the bed, took her shirt from the side, and draped it over Chenguang.
"Your Highness can't sleep, the slave maid is going to cook a bowl of lily lotus seed soup for Your Highness?"
Chenguang shook his head and sat on the bed with his knees crossed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Wu picked up a fan next to her pillow and slowly fanned the wind beside her.
Chenguang sat on the bed in a daze, staring at the bedpost opposite, suddenly raised her hand, rubbed it twice on her slightly dry lips, and rubbed it hard, she fell back to the bed with a thud, and pulled up the quilt.
Huo Wu glanced at her, didn't speak, put down the fan, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and lay down.
Chenguang lay on his back on the bed, staring at the top of the tent and was silent for a while, then suddenly turned over and fell into Huo Wu's arms.
"Xiao Wu, sing me a song." She said sullenly on Fire Dance's chest.
Fire Dance was not surprised, she was very accustomed to reaching out her hand, holding His Highness in her arms, patting her on the back like a child, and then she hummed an ancient song belonging to the desert people of the Phoenix Underworld.
……
in the next room.
Shen Run stood in front of the open window, facing the moon in the night sky, releasing a carrier pigeon, which flapped its wings and flew farther and farther, and soon disappeared into the night.
At this time, he heard the faint sound of a song coming from next door, low and ethereal like a Sanskrit sound, in a language he didn't understand, he guessed that this was probably the ancient folk song of the Feng Ming Kingdom, and he heard that it was the sound of fire dance.
This ballad reminded him of the ancient tales he had heard about the Phoenix Kingdom through some channels before.
He sat down at the table, did not close the window, and listened quietly to the whispering of the fire dance.
The singing next door gradually disappeared, and the singing seemed to have hypnotic magic, making people feel like falling into the fog and dreaming.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and touched his plump lips with two fingertips.
His heart was slightly confused.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Run prepared the carriage there, changed into a simple and low-key white dress, half-covered the veil, brought the snacks prepared for her by Chang Xi, and followed Shen Run out.
Surprisingly, Chenguang didn't bring anyone this time, not even Fire Dance.
Shen Run originally wanted to take a few people, but when he saw this, he cleared all his entourage, and only let Fu Li drive, and he took the morning light to Siqing Mountain.
The carriage was slow, and as soon as the morning light got on the carriage, he began to yawn sleepily.
Seeing this, Shen Run asked with a smile, "Sleepy like this, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Chenguang looked like he wanted to take a nap and didn't answer him.
"Last night I vaguely heard Fire Dance singing, what song was singing, it was good, but I couldn't understand a word?"
"It's a song among the people of Fengming, and it's in the local language, and few people use the local language, and I can't understand some of the local language."
"What's that song about?" Shen Run asked with interest.
Chenguang was reluctant to answer, Shen Run became more and more curious when he saw this, looked at her, and asked her with his eyes. Chenguang looked awkward, but he still answered, and his tone was a little reluctant when he answered.
"That's the song that the mother sang when she put the baby to sleep."
Shen Run was stunned for a moment and laughed heartily.
Chenguang glared: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Nope." Shen Run shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing." ”
Chenguang glanced at him, she felt that he was laughing at her, she closed her eyes, unhappy to ignore him.
Shen Run looked at her with a smile, stretched out his finger, and poked it on her soft cheek, but she didn't move or open her eyes.
He smiled and stopped bothering her, and when the carriage went up the hill, he lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.
The carriage shook because of the bumps in the mountain road, and the morning light, which was napping, unconsciously shook its body because of the bumps, lost its balance, fell to the side, and leaned on Shen Run's arm.
Shen Run was stunned for a moment, withdrew his gaze from the window, and glanced down at her. I don't know if she's asleep or not. He smiled, and instead of continuing the position, he reached out and took her into his arms, adjusted her to a comfortable sleeping position in his arms, and hugged her.
The carriage staggered halfway up the mountain, and then up was a staircase carved in the mountain, leading to the Siqing Temple at the top of the mountain, and the carriage could not continue to move forward, so it could only walk or change to a sedan chair to go up the mountain.
When the carriage stopped, she woke up in the morning, Shen Run pulled her out of the carriage, looked at the mountain ladder that went straight to the sky, and said decisively:
"Let's change the car."
"Let's go up." Chenguang held his hand and said with a smile.
"Such a high mountain ladder, when you go up, the mountain gate will be closed early."
"It's okay, I'll take a few steps first, and when I can't walk anymore, you can carry me up."
Shen Run was choked speechless by her justified request, fortunately he had practiced, if he was an ordinary man, such a high mountain ladder, he would have gone to see the Buddha before he carried her to the peak.
At Chenguang's request, the two of them walked up the mountain, and Shen Run ordered Fu Li to wait halfway up the mountain with the carriage, and he and Chenguang went up the mountain. Although Fu Li was a little worried, Chenguang didn't dare to admonish him too much, so he honestly received the order and waited at the bottom of the mountain.
Chenguang took Shen Run's hand and happily climbed towards Siqing Peak.
Siqing Mountain is not famous in Cangqiu country, Siqing Temple on Siqing Mountain is only more famous in the local area, non-festival and non-day, there are not many people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha, most of the good men and women who choose to walk are young, and there are relatively rare, they also met two or three pairs of small couples who came together on the way up the mountain.
Shen Run saw so many young men and women, and he was a little more sure of his guess, and he was inexplicably happy in his heart.
The morning light suddenly stopped.
Shen Runzheng was happy, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"I'm tired." Chenguang didn't feel embarrassed at all and said to him.
Shen Run glanced at her, turned his head, and looked behind her, she had only walked twenty steps.
Chenguang blinked with a pair of big watery eyes, looking at him innocently.
Well, twenty steps is already hard for her.
He picked her up horizontally, carried her and continued to climb the high stone stairs of Siqing Mountain.
He suddenly remembered that on her first birthday, that night, he also carried her in this way, and climbed the high Qingquan Temple, when she was still a delicate and sweet little girl, although the 'weak' and 'sweet' were pretended by her...... But she is indeed a delicate and sweet girl.
Morning Light also recalled.
Shen Run carried her up to Siqing Peak, attracting many strange eyes along the way, but Chenguang didn't care, and Shen Run didn't care about anything.
