The sunset burned the sky red, and the gorgeous sunset fell into the Star Picking Palace, dyeing this palace with a layer of romantic and beautiful colors.

The palace mermaid rushed in and lit the palace lamp.

After doing everything well, the palace people retreated lightly.

"Is Your Majesty going back to the palace?" Gui Sheng walked up to Nan Liujing and asked.

Nan Liujing shook his head: "I want to stay alone in the Star Picking Palace tonight, you don't come near here." ”

As if thinking of something, Nanliujing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he lowered his voice and explained a few words to Gui Sheng.

Gui Sheng was a little embarrassed on his face, but finally nodded in response.

A little, the last touch of sunset on the horizon was swallowed up by darkness.

When a full moon appeared in the night sky, Nanliujing carried a lantern and ascended to the highest point of the Star Picking Palace.

The stargazing platform at the highest point is quite similar to the stargazing platform of Qin Tianjian, but it is much more gorgeous than there.

Nan Liujing walked to the railing, hung the lantern, and sat down on the ground.

The long wind blew in all directions, causing the purple bamboo in the courtyard to whimper. Nan Liujing took out the wishing star again.

He stared at the wishing star for a long time, and finally slowly closed his palm, closed his eyes and made a vow.

"I hope that the queen mother can return to the world and meet me in this star-picking palace."

After expressing his wishes, Nan Liujing still maintained this posture.

He's waiting.

Years of martial arts practice made his hearing different from ordinary people, so he could hear the footsteps of someone climbing the stairs.

It's very light and light, and it falls on my ears, like a dream.

But in the end, the footsteps grew closer and closer from far to near, stopping a step behind Nan Liujing.

"Streaming."

The familiar voice finally sounded in my ears instead of coming out of my head.

Nan Liujing stood up and turned back suddenly, holding the future person in his arms.

The wishing star, which he had been carefully cared for, rolled to the ground with his movements, and the bones rolled into the corner. But except for Yao Rong's glance, its owner didn't pay any attention to it at all.

Nan Liujing buried his face in Yao Rong's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Tears instantly wet Yao Rong's shoulders, and this young man, who was much taller and stronger than her, buried his head in her arms, crying and trembling all over.

Yao Ronghui hugged Nan Liujing, and gently patted Nan Liujing's back with his right hand to help him calm down: "Are you afraid?" ”

“……”

It took a long time for Nan Liujing's crying brain to react that he was asking him: "...... Afraid of what? ”

Yao Rong smiled: "I, a person who has been dead for more than 20 years, is now standing in front of you alive, aren't you afraid?" ”

Nan Liujing raised his head suddenly, tears in his eyes. His gaze fell tightly on Yao Rong's face: "Others may be afraid, but I am no one else." ”

Whether it's a system or a ghost. She was the person he wanted to see day and night.

The corners of Yao Rong's lips curved slightly, she raised her hand and touched Nan Liujing's head.

Nanliujing is not used to this kind of intimacy.

In his life, he had never experienced such intimacy.

But he bowed his head obediently.

Yao Rong said: "Actually, I've always wanted to touch your head like this, and then tell you that you have done a very good job all these years." ”

The unfinished tears in his eyes turned into tears again, and Nan Liujing choked up: "Queen Mother." ”

Yao Rong patted Nan Liujing's face: "Okay, stop crying, if you let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty see your appearance, they will all have to laugh at you." Is this still their wise and martial majesty? ”

Nan Liujing tried to squeeze out a smile: "They don't dare to laugh at me." But according to Yao Rong's meaning, he took a few deep breaths to calm down.

From the moment he and the queen mother met, this meeting had entered the countdown.

He can't afford to waste any more time on meaningless emotional catharsis.

"I'm all right." Nan Liujing took half a step back, didn't hold Yao Rong anymore, but instead pulled her arm, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Yao Rong followed the strength of Nanliujing and sat down face to face with him.

Nan Liujing stared at Yao Rong's face for a long time, and said in a very proud tone: "Sure enough, I'll just say that those paintings don't look like you." Uncle Xiao and Gui Sheng: Their requirements for portraits are too low. ”

Yao Rong pursed his lips and chuckled.

Nan Liujing touched the back of Yao Rong's hand, it was warm, and it looked no different from a normal person. But when Nan Liujing's fingers slid and brushed Yao Rong's pulse, he didn't feel any beating.

Obviously a very normal thing, Nan Liujing still felt that a trace of hope in his heart was shattered.

He had to admit that she really couldn't come back to this world. Tonight's meeting was just a forced request from him.

Yao Rong pretended not to notice Nan Liujing's small movements, and introduced in a gentle tone: "My current appearance and dress are maintained on the day when the imperial doctor diagnosed me as pregnant. ”

Nan Liujing followed her words and asked, "The queen mother knew the news at the time, what was in her heart?" ”

Yao Rong recalled: "The first reaction was very unreal, and the second reaction was to be happy. I was lonely in the palace and often missed life at the border. It was your arrival that filled my life with anticipation again. But then something happened at the border, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. ”

Nan Liujing understood what she meant: "Are you worried about your grandfather and uncle, and you're also worried about me?" ”

Yao Rong nodded: "Yes, my status in the palace comes from the power of the family. I don't care if the family loses ground, but what do you do? What happened after that also confirmed my fears. ”

Nan Liujing subconsciously clenched her hand.

Yao Rongyan held his hand: "Will you blame me?" ”

Nan Liujing shook his head vigorously: "How could the queen mother say such a thing?" ”

Yao Rong said: "Because I'm scared that you're going to say something like maybe you shouldn't have survived in the first place. ”

Nan Liujing's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked Yao Rong: "How could I say such a thing?" There is nothing dissatisfying in my current life. ”

Yao Rong smiled slightly: "That's good." ”

The two chatted casually.

Obviously, there have been countless such chatters over the years, but Nanliujing just feels that tonight is very different.

What's the difference?

Perhaps the moonlight is brighter, the stars are brighter, the night breeze is cooler, and even the most annoying cicada chirping has become much more pleasant.

Only the passage of time has become faster.

After admiring the moon on the stargazing platform for a long time, Nan Liujing proposed: "Queen Mother, let's change places to admire the moon." ”

"Where to go?"

Nan Liujing pulled Yao Rong up: "Just follow me." ”

After taking two steps outside, Nan Liujing finally remembered his wishing star, walked over and picked it up and put it in his sleeve.

Nan Liujing pulled Yao Rong and ran downstairs, ran out of the Star Picking Palace, ran through the plum forest, and ran to the lake: "Queen Mother, didn't you say that you want to guard me." I'll take you on a night tour of this lake. ”

Yao Rong looked around.

The lake is brightly lit, but there is no one around, it should be arranged by Nanliujing a long time ago, and no one is allowed to approach here tonight.

"Okay, but do you know how to row?"

"I haven't crossed it yet, but it's not hard." Nan Liujing was still very confident in his learning ability, he picked up the hem of his clothes and jumped on the boat, and stretched out his hand to pull Yao Rong.

After Yao Rong sat down, he handed the lantern to Yao Rong to carry, and he picked up the oars on the side, rolled up his sleeves and began to work.

Yao Rong instructed him where to row in words, and after a while, the two came to the lotus bush.

"It should be almost."

"What is not ......"

Before Yao Rong finished speaking, his voice stopped.

for she has seen it.

On the other side of the lake, one after another lotus lanterns floated down the water and fell into a patch on the surface of the water, as if a sea of stars had been ignited in the lake.

Nan Liujing explained on the side: "It's too late, and it's inconvenient for my boat to row into the lotus bush, but now like this, it can barely be regarded as being in the lotus bush, right?" ”

There happened to be a lotus lantern floating to the side of the boat, Yao Rong stretched out his hand and fished it out of the lake: "Of course." ”

The two didn't speak, just sat quietly in the lanterns on the lake and looked up to admire the full moon in the sky.

When the lanterns full of lakes gradually burned to the end, Yao Rong spoke: "It's time." ”

Nan Liujing turned his head and didn't say anything, just handed the wishing star to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows.

Nan Liujing explained: "This wishing star should not have been used yet. Before the queen mother left, we used it together. ”

Yao Rong: "......"

When Nan Liujing said her wish, she did let the system move a little and didn't let Nan Liujing waste this wishing star in vain. But she didn't expect him to guess so quickly.

Yao Rong subconsciously took a deep breath: "Okay." What do you think we should wish for? ”

Nan Liujing tilted his head and thought about it.

"Ask for peace in the world?" He tried to say something, but without waiting for Yao Rong to speak, he shook his head again and denied, "The Wishing Star is not so powerful. What's more, Haiqing Heyan is not something that can be exchanged by making a wish, it takes countless people to make it happen with a long time. ”

"I don't have much to ask for myself. Then this wish will be cheaper for the little uncle. Nan Liujing's eyes were crooked, "Even if you can't let your little uncle's legs regain sensation, at least it can make his body healthier." What do you think, Queen Mother? ”

Yao Rong smiled: "If you are willing, of course I have no opinion." ”

This is originally the stuff of Nanliujing.

Nan Liujing closed his eyes and whispered his wishes.

At the moment when his words fell, the wishing star in his palm turned into fluorescent dots, which were blown by the long wind and scattered into the wind.

Through the scattered fluorescent sky, Yao Rong said to Nan Liujing: "Then I'll go back." ”

"Mother, thank you for coming to see me."

Yao Rong patted Nan Liujing's shoulder, and this time she took the initiative to reach out and hug him: "What kind of stupid thing to say, what is there to thank for this." ”

Nan Liujing closed his eyes, hugged Yao Rong back, and felt that she was also like the wishing star, turning into fluorescent dots. But the next moment, Yao Rong's voice echoed in Nan Liujing's mind.

[Don't be sad, I'm still there for you.] ]：，，
