The candlelight shines on the diligent Jun, sighing and reciting poetry for him;

Using a poetic expression to settle the heart and intestines, from then on they were like fish in water.

It was getting colder and colder, and the palace was heating up the heat. Late that night, Xuan Ye sat in the study of the Western Warm Pavilion at the Baohe Palace, reading. Gai Rong'er had arranged to be with the emperor today. Every night, when the hour came, the eunuchs would light candles in many places in the Hall of Treasure and the Temple. It was late at night again, very late, and seeing that another candle was about to burn out on the emperor's table, he went to replace it with a new one.

For the past few days, the Emperor had been frowning, thinking that he had met with something that had annoyed him. The Emperor did not seem to have any intentions of going to bed at night, and thus, he could not help but sigh lightly as he watched the flickering candlelight.

”The night is even darker, the night is quiet, the night is autumn,

A candle flame accompanies a diligent man.

Who knew that the king would be worried and worried?

And the only thing left to do is to burn away all of her tears! ”

Xuan Ye was reading a book at his desk when he suddenly heard a faint sound of a poem. He raised his head to look at Gai Rong'er, who was standing by the side, ready to change the candles. Looking at the emperor's gaze, only then did he realize that he had unconsciously begun to recite the poem.

”Your majesty, please forgive me. Rong'er has disturbed you. Rong'er was only thinking about it and unconsciously said it out loud.” Gai Rong'er knelt down and said with a guilty conscience.

A smile broke out on Xuan Ye's face, wanting to scare her with his story. He said in a low voice, ”Previously at the empress dowager's palace, it was a surprise, but this time it's a nuisance again. I see that you were careless.”

When Rong'er heard these words, he felt that he had done something wrong. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, ”Rong'er was wrong. I'm willing to accept the punishment from the emperor.”

Xuan Ye smiled and said, ”I've scared you. Stand up.” Rong'er thanked him for his kindness and got up. Xuan Ye continued, ”It seems to me that it's not this candle that knows my worries, but you.”

Rong'er's face reddened. ”Rong'er doesn't dare to do that. How could I dare to guess the Emperor's intentions?”

”My heart? Didn't everyone already know about it? ” Xuan Ye shook his head and laughed bitterly.

”Your Majesty …” Gai Rong'er called out softly. He really didn't expect the emperor to know everything.

”I've forgotten that you're very interested in poetry.” Xuan Ye said while looking at Gai Rong'er.

”Rong'er is very inexperienced, he's just randomly singing.” Rong'er respectfully replied.

”How about this, let's face it with my poem for a while.” Xuan Ye said to Rong'er with a smile.

”Ah?” Rong'er didn't dare to do so. How could Rong'er dare to face the emperor's poems? ” Rong'er replied.

”There is nothing that I don't dare to do. No matter what the outcome is, or if there is anything wrong with it, I will forgive you.” Xuan Ye said with a smile.

”Then... If the emperor doesn't mind Rong'er's stupidity, Rong'er will be making a fool of himself. Gai Rong'er bowed and said.

”How could that be? That poem was excellent just now and it truly expressed my feelings.” ”Furthermore, I can't compare to you in terms of accuracy.” ”Xuan Ye smiled, his eyes filled with a gentle light.” ”Come, This Emperor will say something.”

”This Emperor will say: The late autumn winds cool people.” Xuan Ye was the first to speak.

”The deeper the fog, the deeper the road.” Gai Rong'er thought for a while before answering.

”Rong'er, why do I feel like your poem is still about my feelings? of the future. ” A smile of approval appeared on Xuan Ye's face.

Rong'er pursed his lips into a smile and said, ”The Emperor is overthinking things. His Majesty's previous sentence was so desolate. Rong'er's following sentence naturally had to match his feelings, but it didn't necessarily reflect the Emperor's feelings. It could also be said to be Rong'er's feelings.”
