Chapter 15: At the Campfire on a Moonlit Night
Night always gives people a hazy and mysterious feeling. A clear moon hangs in the night sky to declare its loneliness. The crystal clear moonlight falls on the white snow, gentle and quiet, as if all the prosperity of the world is gone.
Washed by the moonlight.
In the evening, only Yuan Zhiyou and I had dinner together. Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yifeng didn't come back. I thought maybe something happened in the military camp and I couldn't get away from it! After all, he is the prince, so he can't really be idle every day.
All major military matters are left to others. I have read some historical books before and know that the prosperity of a country is inseparable from the monarch's ability and diligence. Xiao Yifeng should be a good king in the future!
After the severe cold in the Qiong Garden, everything was withered as far as the eye could see. Thousands of trees covered the hills in darkness, but the solitary window was dimly lit by the moon.
The shadows are thin while meditating on poetry, and the loneliness curls up in the sky. I am depressed and thoughtful, and linger in dreams at dawn.
Tonight is the first time in so many days since I've been here that I feel down. I can't explain why. When I'm in a bad mood, I want to be alone and quietly... Thinking of this, I step on the moonlight and walk toward
I walked towards the gate of the villa. Just as I was about to step out of the threshold, a middle-aged servant saluted me and asked, "Miss Yun, are you going out? It's a cold day and a dark night. I don't know where the girl is going.
?”.
I frowned. I dare to believe that I don’t even have freedom here. “Is this uncle treating me as a thief or monitoring me?”
When he heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Miss Yun, don't get me wrong. It's just that the prince has given instructions. You must not neglect Miss Yun. This villain is Yang Huai, the housekeeper of this other courtyard. I'm worried about Miss Yun, what might happen if you go out alone so late at night?"
If the prince comes back to blame me, I can't bear it."
Of course I knew that what he said was reasonable, but I was in a bad mood. I just wanted to be alone and not be disturbed. "What Feng Qing said just now was inappropriate. Uncle Yang, don't take it to heart. I just want to go out for a walk."
Go, you will be back soon. If the two princes come back, you can tell the truth."
He still lowered his head, "Miss Yun is serious. The villain didn't explain clearly. Do you want to send a few people to follow her?"
I turned around and looked out the door, said softly, "No, I want to be alone for a while" and walked out of the courtyard.
Along the way, I was walking in the snow, and my mind was very confused. I didn’t like being upset for no reason. It would make me feel panicked, and I felt like I couldn’t catch myself...
Unknowingly, I walked into a forest. The leaves had long since withered, and the frozen branches made a crisp sound when blown by the wind. It sounded very desolate! I sat down against a tree,
Resting my head on my arms and hugging my knees, I tilted my head and looked at the moon in the sky. It seemed to be looking at me... We are all lonely...
The candle shadow on the mica screen is deep, the long river is gradually setting and the dawn stars are sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night.
I have heard the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon since I was very young. If the legend is true, I wonder if she has regretted it now?
Is it really cruel to leave?
Maybe gentleness is shameful, or lonely people don't matter.
Day and night, unconditionally.
Is it really dangerous ahead?
Maybe betrayal is considerate, or maybe it's easier to escape.
The wind whispers and the wind blows the sand.
One step forward is dusk, one step back is life.
If the wind is not calm and the waves are not calm, the mind will not be stable.
An island locks a person.
The boat I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and the people I'm waiting for haven't understood yet.
Loneliness sinks silently into the sea, and I will no longer be there in the future.
If the tide goes away, so will your heart; if the tide comes, you won't come.
The ups and downs of the past come up, and when I recall them, you are no longer here.
Before one wave subsided, another wave struck again.
The vast sea of people and the violent storm.
One wave is too late, and the other wave has passed long ago.
Life is like waking up from a dream.
Deeply sad at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
-----------------------
After singing this song "Sad Pacific" by Ren Xianqi, I felt very confused... The music I like always has a kind of sadness. It seems that I have never been satisfied. I have lived for 22 years but feel powerless about my life... I don’t know what I really want, and what do I expect from life? Don’t many people live like this? Why can’t I find the happiness they do?
I raised my head and leaned against the tree. Suddenly I heard someone sighing, which startled me. I quickly turned my head and looked behind me. Through the moonlight, I saw several people standing under the tree not far from me, two of them. They were the two princes of the Xiao family. I stood up and patted the snow on my body, and when they saw me standing up, they were walking towards me.
"I almost missed Feng Qing's singing...it's okay...it's okay..." Xiao Yichen said with a smile, looking at me with his clear eyes, a trace of affection flowing out.
I turned my head a little uncomfortably, but then I saw Xiao Yifeng's dark eyes staring at me, with bottomless eyes. I was a little at a loss, stared at them with a smile, looked away, and looked at the few people behind them. personal.
Those people were all wearing ancient soldier uniforms. Two of them looked like they were officials! Their clothes were slightly more outstanding than the others. They had delicate features and an upright look on their faces. Such people would be recognized at a glance. He is classified as a good person. It seems that I am a bit superficial when I say this... Isn't it said that people should not be judged by their appearance?
"Why are you here?" I glanced around and turned my attention to the two princes.
"I was attracted by your singing..." Xiao Yichen replied nonchalantly, smiling mischievously.
"Why are you alone in the woods? What if you meet someone with bad intentions?" I was about to say something insulting to Xiao Yichen when I heard Xiao Yifeng ask in a bad tone.
I looked at him and saw that he seemed a little unhappy. Could it be that something was not going well in the military camp? Seeing that he came back with the soldiers, I guess it was.
"Yes! Feng Qing, why did you come here alone in the forest? You really don't take yourself seriously at all." Before I could speak, Xiao Yichen started scolding me again, so I just came out and stayed for a while. Is it worth it for them?
"I'm just a little depressed, so I came out for a walk. Don't treat me like a child. I'm sensible." I replied with a pout. I saw both of them staring at me a little angry, so I deliberately changed my mind. topic.
"By the way, won't you introduce these handsome guys to me?" I looked at the people behind them, and they all felt a little embarrassed when they heard what I said.
When Xiao Yichen heard this, he immediately said, "What does handsome guy mean?" with a curious baby expression on his face.
"They are handsome men," I said with a smile. When I saw the two handsome guys, the corner of my mouth twitched. Xiao Yifeng turned around and looked at them. They were busy looking down. Xiao Yichen felt aggrieved. "Am I not better-looking than them? Why have you never said that I am a handsome guy?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing. Even the shoulders of the people behind them were shaking. They probably didn't expect that their Prince Xiao would be so jealous! Xiao Yichen's face turned red when I laughed.
, and then realized that there are others here!
Xiao Yifeng's face became even more ugly. He pointed at the fatter of the two handsome men and said, "This is General Cheng Yang, the one next to him is Deputy General Cheng Yun, and those behind him are the vanguards of our military camp." In one sentence,
Everyone was taken over. I turned around and looked at me again and said, "This is Miss Yun Fengqing."
The general named Cheng Yang, deputy general Cheng Xun, and the vanguards all saluted me when they heard this, "I have seen Miss Yun." Their voices were so loud.
