When Di Xue returned to the cloud layer was already night, there was a long conversation in the imperial study, and before he knew it, it had been from noon to eight o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't even eaten dinner yet.

But Di Xue didn't have any appetite.

He looked at the pile of gift boxes in the hall and was stunned.

Every year on Di Xue's birthday, because it is the sacrifice day of the former queen of Lan Xue, he will not celebrate it in a big way, and the high-ranking officials and magnates in the imperial capital also know this, but every year they will also give some gifts on this day to express their gratitude.

Among the many gift boxes given by people, the small black box was so conspicuous that Di Xue could see it at a glance.

Most gifts are given in colors such as red and gold to express festivity, but he is the only one who always uses a black gift box every year.

He likes to use black for everything, loves to wear black clothes, loves black carriages, loves to look up at the bright moon alone in the dark night, and loves black, except that he doesn't like to seduce/seduce black girls.

It is said that people will be affected by each other after getting along for a long time, Di Xue thinks about it, isn't he just taken by the mirror of the stage to like to wear black or dark clothes, and paint his carriage black?

The maids and waiters next to them watched Di Xue stand in a trance, and did not speak for a long time, and finally one of the maids couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to have dinner?"

Di Xue came back to her senses and said, "No need, you guys should retreat first." ”

After the maids and waiters had withdrawn, Di Xue stepped forward and opened the black gift box.

There was a necklace lying quietly on Bai Juan in the box, and after Di Xue picked it up, she found that it was two couples' chains.

The two necklaces together are a silver rose wrapped in a heart-shaped red diamond, which is divided into a rose flower and a heart diamond after being opened, which should be an intention to take care of a lover.

Flipping through the box, there was a piece of paper in it, and the handwriting on the paper was delicate and elegant, it was his handwriting:

I wanted to give you and Taylor a pair of rings, but I thought it would be better for you to buy the ring yourself, and I was not your father and I wanted to give you a ring to get married, so I gave you a necklace.

Happy birthday, condolences change.

-- The Mirror of the Stage

There is only one person in the world who dares to say happy birthday and happy birthday to him on his birthday at the same time, Di Xue shook her head and smiled, but her smile was slightly astringent.

Unlike the floor of the dormitory, the edge of the cloud layer is supported by stone pillars, but there are still observation decks on all sides, and Emperor Xue walked through the main hall and walked through a long corridor to the east observation deck.

There is still the transparent magical barrier generated by the Tower of Eternity, and there is no wind on the observation deck, only the cold moonlight.

This layer is called Cloud Whisk because this layer is just above the usual cloud level, and clouds often pass by.

Because it is a snowy day, the snow clouds tonight are much lower than the previous clouds, and there is no ethereal cloud and mist in the past.

The clouds rise and float, above the sea of clouds, but the starry sky is bright, the moon is bright and the stars are not rare, a bright moon hangs lonely on the clouds, and the stars are clustered.

The cold moon hangs lonely on the clouds, and the sea of stars hangs alone.

Di Xue lifted the two pairs of chains, and the moonlight gilded the two necklaces with a layer of clear light.

I still remember when he was young, he and Tangtai Mingjing were both teenagers, and there was a period of time when Tangtai Mingjing was particularly fond of drinking, and once it was the New Year, and Tangtai Mingjing pulled him out to drink.

In fact, he knew that Tangtai Mingjing liked to drink alone wine, and the reason why he pulled him was because he knew magic, and Tangtai Mingjing always liked to choose an elegant place outside when drinking, and Tangtai Mingjing was afraid of cold in winter, so it was purely for him to use magic to warm up.

Di Xue didn't care, anyway, during the Chinese New Year, the teacher and his father gave him a holiday, and he was very idle.

However, he regretted it after being taken away by the Spiegel of the Emperor that time, because the place chosen by the Spiegel was actually in the small courtyard of the Yanyu Building, which was originally known as the Listening Rain Building, and the first Qing/Lou in the imperial capital......

At that time, he pointed to the nose of the mirror and scolded: "Take the prince to visit the Qing/Lou, this kind of thing is only done by you!" If you let your father or sister or teacher know that he has walked into a place like Qing/Lou, you have to scold him to death......

Tantai Mingjing slapped his hand away indifferently and said: "Oh, I didn't let you really do what a man did when he came to Qing/Lou, I came here because the plum blossoms here are beautiful, don't care about these details." ”

Di Xue: "......" really couldn't do anything with him, so he came here, so he had to drink with him.

The amount of wine he drank was excellent, and he never left the pot and the cup from cup to cup, but he never drank with a bowl or a jar of wine, because he said it was indecent.

Di Xue was used to seeing him in such a posture, and it was not strange, but he looked at the black jade wine jug and wine glass, and asked a question that he never seemed to ask the mirror of the platform: "Why do you like black so much?"

The mirror threw him a charming look, drunk and dizzy on his cheeks, really a little charming, compared the Oiran who was waiting on the side, and almost didn't let Di Xue think that he was bent or not.

The night was cloudless, the moonlight was also clear, shining on the red plum and the residual snow, and from time to time there were New Year's fireworks in the Eternal City rushing to the sky and the flames were blazing, and the night was extremely beautiful, he leisurely drank a glass of spirits, pointed to the bright moon and the fireworks and said: "You see, the bright moon is lonely, the fireworks are lonely, and their beauty needs to be set off by the dark night." ”

Then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am the one who is lonelier than the bright moon and lonelier than fireworks, so only the darkness of the night is worthy of me." ”

If these words were to be said by other teenagers, they would definitely make people think that he was committing the second middle school, but when it came out of the mouth of the young man Mingjing, it seemed so natural.

Because he is really a person who is lonelier than the bright moon and lonelier than fireworks.

Thinking of the words of the mirror of the stage, Di Xue sighed, and brought the men's rose necklace in the pair of necklaces, and the other one left for Taylor was put away first.

Touching the somewhat cold necklace, Di Xue looked at the round of solitary moon and muttered: "You said that only the darkness of the night is worthy of you, I hope your heart is not dark." ”
