The night is already deep.
Meili sat on the bed and looked at the small room in the side hall through the not-so-bright candlelight.
She had always been placed here when she lived in the palace, but now it seems a bit strange.
She got out of bed gently, not wanting to wake up the palace maid Hong Ling who was sleeping in the small bed under the window.
She was always afraid of scaring others by screaming in her dreams, and was embarrassed to ask Hong Ling, who was two years older than her, to keep vigil, so she had to use the old method.
No sleep.
The night sky in spring is the clearest and softest, although it is not as high and deep as autumn.
Looking up at the stars in the warm wind, my heart seems to open up.
Meili sat down against the pillars and looked at the bright starry sky, feeling sad in her heart.
She was also alone and small in the quiet palace gardens of the Forbidden City, but she looked up at the same sky.
Maybe life taught her too much, but she learned too slowly.
The joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the past have all sunk into the indifference of today in the long and lonely years.
In the future, she will shed tears in confusion.
I don’t know how long it will be before she will see her again.
How do you feel when you look up at the stars alone?
"Who?"
A low warning voice startled her, her eyes blurred, and the guards on night watch quickly approached and raised their lanterns to shine in her face.
"It's okay, you can continue to patrol."
The voice at the beginning relaxed and ordered in a low voice to stop the guards who were too close.
Meili's eyes adjusted to the brightness, and the guards also lined up neatly to exit the small courtyard.
The light became weaker, and she could see the person coming more clearly.
Starlight covered his body like a shining veil, his handsome young face outlined a pleasing arc, and under the shadow of his long eyelashes, his clear and friendly eyes contained a slight smile.
It was him, Yonghe.
As the night wind blew, she felt a coolness on her face.
Then she was shocked to realize that the tears were still hanging on her face and had not been wiped away.
She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe them with her sleeves.
Yong He was embarrassed for a while, remembering the conversation between her ancestor and Ying Ru Fujin.
Ying Ru Fujin's expression made her unable to treat him as calmly and calmly as before.
Can he still be as friendly to her as he was when they first met?
Or will he resent her and hate her because of all the embarrassments and worries she has brought to him?
She slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at his handsome face.
"You" he frowned, his voice low.
Meili's heart ached bitterly because of his tone, and he no longer smiled at her.
"Aren't you cold?"
he asked worriedly.
Meili was a little surprised and looked up at him blankly.
He was looking at her with disapproval.
When their eyes met, he seemed to tremble slightly.
She also felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.
The starlight illuminated her equally softly.
She was as delicate and delicate as the first time he saw her.
Everyone said that Suying was beautiful.
When he entered his ancestor's pergola, he saw that among the women with jewel-like eyes, she had her head half lowered, with only an elegant flower on her long black hair, and she was thin but delicate.
Her little face was drooped.
He didn't know how he managed to see her long and curved eyelashes fluttering so clearly.

How could Suying be as beautiful as her?
When she heard her ancestors and E Niang talking about him, she glanced at him quickly with her big, bright eyes flashing with water.
He turned away nervously and deliberately, and his heart was at a loss.
When she was thin and frail, she asked the imperial doctor to deal with the bloody wounds with a pale face, biting her cherry red lips tightly and refusing to cry out in pain, but her stubborn expression deeply hurt his heart.
He had just seen Suying Lihua crying coquettishly, and he felt a little pity for her, but she made his heart ache.
There were so many rumors about her and they were so vicious.
Even when he didn't see her, he was ridiculing her and joking with everyone.
But when he really saw her, he couldn't laugh.
Rumors are filled with resentment.
He said that she was so unbearable that she was just a poor girl with nothing.
Perhaps it was because of her fragility and helplessness that everyone hurt her more unscrupulously.
The nobles were so snobbish and cruel.
How could he not understand that if she was the emperor's My dear sister, who dares to say that about her?
She shook her head with half-lidded eyes, and the long, silky hair that fell down because she had untied her bun also swayed gently.
His heart softened, and he almost wanted to reach out and touch the silky black hair.
"Are you on night watch again?"
They were silent in the night.
It was so embarrassing that she had nothing to say.
"You don't dare to sleep" When she smiled, he said what was on his mind again, but very kindly.
Seeing her smile, he laughed too.
She looked at his beautiful smiling face and felt a little tight in her chest.
He didn't know what his ancestor was thinking, but she suddenly felt a little reluctant.
When he found out, she didn't even have this friend anymore.
"It's not an option for you to be like this all the time.
I'm on duty and I can have a day off tomorrow.
What should you do?"
He worried for her.
"It doesn't matter."
She turned her face away, not wanting to talk any more.
If he regretted saying so much to her tonight in the future, her non-participation would make her feel better then.
"I'm entering the house."
She lowered her face and smiled lightly.
"Well" he hesitated, "It will be a long time before dawn.
What can you do to not feel sleepy?"
The sincerity in his words made her heart ache, "I'll do some sewing and read for a while."
He couldn't help but stop her again and sighed.
"Don't worry.
When you're not afraid anymore, you won't have nightmares anymore."
When he said it, he realized that he had already said this to her before.
She turned back and smiled gratefully.
"Wait for me for a while."
He suddenly remembered something and turned around and ran away.
Looking at his back that disappeared into the night, she sincerely smiled.
He was such a good person, as enthusiastic as a child.
After a while, he ran back panting and put a book into her hand, "These are all kinds of little jokes and anecdotes circulated in the market.

Reading boring books at night will make you sleepier.
Just read this and smile."
I don’t want to sleep anymore.”
She silently clenched the book in her hand.
"Take a look.
If you find it interesting, there are many more on the book market.
I'll buy them all.
However, you have to get better before reading them all."
He ordered, speaking with certainty.
She nodded, "Thank you" He quickly waved his hand, not wanting to hear her say thank you, "I'm on patrol at night, so you should hurry into the house."
She watched him leave quickly, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky again.
The spring stars were really beautiful.
She let out a long breath, wishing she could always be under such a beautiful starry sky
