It's late at night.

Meili sat on the bed and looked at the small room in the side hall by the candlelight that was not too bright. When she used to live in the palace, she had been settled here, but now it seems that she is a little strange.

She got out of bed gently, not wanting to wake up the palace maid Hongling who was sleeping in the small bed under the window, always afraid that screaming in a dream would scare others, and she was embarrassed to call Hongling, who was two years older than her, to keep vigil, so she had to use the old method - not sleeping.

The night sky in spring is the clearest and softest, although it is not as deep as autumn, in the warm wind, looking up at the starry sky, the heart seems to be open.

Meili sat down against the pillars, looking at the bright starry sky from afar, but her heart was sour. is also in the quiet palace of the Forbidden City, she is also lonely and small, but she looks up as if it is not the same sky.

Maybe life has taught her too much, but she has learned too slowly, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the past have all sunk into today's indifference in the long and long lonely years, and the future will ...... She drooped tears blankly, wondering how long it would be before she would look up at the starry sky alone, what kind of mood she would have?

"Who?!" A vigilant shout startled her, and the night guards approached quickly, raising their lanterns and preparing to shine on her face.

"It's okay, you can continue to patrol." The voice that started relaxed, and whispered a command, stopping the guards who were too close.

Meili's eyes adjusted to brightness, and the guards also lined up neatly to exit the small courtyard, the light weakened, and she saw the people more clearly.

Starlight is like a shining light veil draped over his body, young and handsome cheeks outline a pleasant arc, under the dark shadow of long eyelashes, clear and friendly eyes with a shallow smile, it's him, Yonghyuk.

As soon as the night breeze blew, she felt that her face was cold, and then she realized that the tears were still hanging on her face and had not been wiped away, so she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped it with her sleeve.

Yonghyuk ...... She was embarrassed for a while, remembering the conversation between the old ancestor and Ying Ru Fujin, and Ying Ru Fujin's expression...... She couldn't treat him as calmly as she used to. He...... Can you still be as kind to her as you were when we first met? Will he resent her, hate her, because of all the embarrassment and annoyance she has brought him?

She lowered her head slowly, not daring to look at his handsome face again.

"You ......" he frowned, his voice low.

Miri's heart was bitter and cramping because of his tone, and he stopped smiling at her anymore.

"Aren't you cold?" He asked worriedly.

Meili was a little surprised, she looked up at him in a daze, he was looking at her with a disapproving face, and when her eyes met, he seemed to be slightly stunned, and she also felt a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away.

The starlight illuminated her with the same softness.

She was as delicate and delicate as the first time he saw her. Everyone said that Su Ying was delicate, when he entered the pergola of the old ancestor and saw the women with pearls in her eyes, she was half-bowed her head, her long black hair was only an elegant flower, and her thin but delicate little face was hanging down, he didn't know how he did it, and he saw her long and curved eyelashes moving so clearly, Su Ying ...... How can she be beautiful?!

When she heard the old ancestor and Eniang talking about him, the bright, flashing big eyes flashed quickly towards him, he turned his eyes nervously and deliberately, and his heart ...... Messed up the speed.

When she was thin and weak, she pale her face and let the imperial doctor deal with the bloody wounds, biting her cherry red lips tightly, and refusing to cry out for pain, but her stubborn expression pierced his heart deeply. Just saw Su Ying's pear blossom crying with rain, and his heart was also a little pity, but she ...... But it made his heart hurt.

There are so many rumors about her, so vicious, he sneered when he didn't see her, and he also laughed and joked with everyone, and really met her...... He couldn't laugh, and he was even resentful of so many vitriolic rumors about her.

She was so embarrassed...... In fact, she is just a poor girl with nothing! Maybe it was because of her fragility and helplessness that everyone hurt her more unscrupulously, the snobbery and cruelty among the nobles, how could he not understand! If it is the emperor's own sister, who dares to say that about her!

She shook her head with half-lowered eyes, and the long silky hair that had fallen out of her bun fluttered slightly, and his heart softened, and he almost wanted to reach out and touch the silky black hair.

"You...... Is it night again? The silence in the night was so embarrassing that she had nothing to say.

"Don't you dare sleep?"

She smiled, and he said what he thought again, but ...... Very kind.

Seeing her laugh, he laughed too.

She looked at his good-looking smiling face, and her chest felt a little tight. He didn't know what the ancestor thought, she was suddenly a little reluctant, and when he knew, she didn't even have this friend.

"It's not a way for you to do this, I'm on duty, I can rest tomorrow, what should you do?" He was distressed for her.

"It doesn't matter." She turned her face away, not wanting to say more, if in the future he regretted saying so much to her tonight, her non-participation would make her feel a little better then. "I'm in the house." She half-hung her face and smiled faintly.

"Well......" he paused, "it's been a long time before dawn, what do you have to do to stay from sleepy?" ”

The sincerity in his words made her heart ache, "I...... Do some needlework and read a book. ”

He didn't want to stop her again and again, and sighed.

"Don't worry, when you're not afraid, you won't have nightmares anymore." He realized that he had already spoken to her before.

She looked back and smiled gratefully.

"You wait for me for a while!" He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and ran.

Looking at his back as he disappeared into the night in an instant, she smiled sincerely, he was such a nice person, as enthusiastic as a child.

After a while, he ran back out of breath and stuffed a children's book into her hand, "This is a variety of little jokes and interesting stories circulating in the market, and it is even more sleepy to read boring books at night, you look at this, I don't want to sleep when I laugh." ”

She silently clenched the book in her hand.

"Look, if you think it's interesting, there are many more in the book market, and I bought them all. But you'll need to get better before you've read them all! He commanded, and he said it in stone.

She nodded, "Thank you......"

He quickly shook his hand, not wanting to hear her say thank you, "I'm on patrol at night, you should hurry up and go into the house." ”

She watched him walk away quickly, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky again, the stars in spring were really beautiful, and she let out a long breath, if she could always be under such a beautiful starry sky...... That's it.
