63. Happy birthday
When the contest between the monarch and the imperial kingdom reached the third stage, Huang Anning's birthday arrived. Jun Li had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he had not been able to be by her side to celebrate her in the past seven years, but this time he finally caught up. He came to the imperial dining room early in the morning, and the imperial chefs were frightened again, compared to the regent of the Feng Kingdom before, this is their great king!
But obviously Jun Li doesn't know anything about cooking, after all, time is pressing, he doesn't have extra time to practice cooking, but onlookers can guide him. So the Emperor took refuge in the kitchen and explained to the imperial chefs what he wanted. The imperial chefs listened with trepidation as they busily prepared the ingredients. One of the younger imperial chefs boldly asked, "Dare to ask the emperor, is this meal prepared for the county lord of Qingning?"
It's not that he talks too much, it's mainly that his curiosity is too heavy, this ingredient is too rich and meticulous, and the people who can make their emperor do this, they can only think of that Qingning County Lord.
At the mention of that woman, Jun Li, who had a serious face, subconsciously softened his expression, and even his voice was dyed with a bit of tenderness, "Yes, today is her birthday." Just as everyone was full of emotion, they saw the king's face change again, "All right, prepare as soon as possible, and there can be no mistake!"
"Yes!" The imperial chefs were almost crying, what they were most afraid of was this kind of thing, especially if it was related to the county lord of Qingning...... After all, if you annoy the great king, at most you will be imprisoned or fined, and you will be put on a few big boards, but in case the county lord of Qingning is dissatisfied and unhappy...... Congratulations, there's only one way out. Oh, and what's worse is that life is worse than death.
This gentleman is guarding the imperial dining room, preparing to present An Ning with a sumptuous and delicious meal, and several men on the other end are also racking their brains to prepare suitable gifts, this is also the first time they have celebrated her birthday in person, so it is natural to be perfect and thoughtful. So because of this woman's birthday, several men almost overturned the palace, the bazaar and the surrounding people.
When Lan Hui relayed those situations, An Ning could basically imagine those images and smiled lightly, in fact, they didn't have to go through such a big deal at all, her favorite way to celebrate was to chat and eat with her closest friends, and they obviously wanted to celebrate themselves better.
"They all want to give Miss a special gift and want her to be happy. Lan Hui smiled.
An Ning smiled lightly and put down the things in his hand, "Then let's go and see how they are prepared." ”
However, before she could walk out of the gate of the Anning Palace, the group arrived in a neat line, each holding several gifts in their hands. They looked at the woman who was coming out, smiled in unison and said, "An Ning (Ning'er), happy birthday!"
"Thank you!" An Ning smiled brightly, saying that it was definitely fake not to be moved.
"Ning'er, happy birthday. Huang Yan took a few steps forward and leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead, with a satisfied smile on his face.
As a result, this kiss completely caused a riot, and the rest of the men stepped forward to beat Huang Yan violently - "Huang Yan! Who allowed you to kiss An Ning? Don't you want to live?!"
"I want you to take care of it, she is like this every birthday, and you are jealous. ”
"I don't care what happens to you, I'm going to do it first!"
"Hit! Hit me hard!"
In an instant, the quiet and beautiful morning was ruined by the fight of several people, but An Ning did not feel irritable, but laughed out loud. The few people who were originally scuffling immediately stopped, and looked at the woman's smile bathed in the early morning sunshine in distraction. Feng Lingxiao straightened out her somewhat messy clothes, came to her with a gift and handed it to her, "Today is your birthday, have you ever thought about what to do?"
An Ning asked Lan Hui to put away all the gifts, tilted his head and thought about it and smiled: "Before we start those activities, let's have a meal together, okay?"
Well, after all, it's early in the morning, she hasn't had breakfast yet, and she's very hungry now.
Jun Li smiled lightly and said, "I have been ready for a long time." ”
As if to prove his words, there were immediately palace people lined up, each holding a tray in his hand, on which was placed a bowl of delicacies whose contents could not be seen, but looking at the number of people, it seemed that it was the rhythm of the Manchu and Han banquets. When everyone arrives in the side hall and takes their seats, the table is filled with a dazzling array of dishes, and the enticing aroma sweeps all the senses. An Ning clenched his chopsticks and looked at those delicacies almost greedily, Jun Li was very satisfied with this, "An Ning, you can only do so much in limited time, can you taste it?"
"There are already a lot of dishes, just by smelling the taste, you know that it must be delicious!" An Ning smiled happily.
Jun Li instantly felt that he had been healed, and the gloom of the previous few days was swept away, and others didn't think so. The first to disagree was Huang Yan, he glanced at the dishes on the table with disdain, and then said to the woman, "Ning'er, what I make must be better than these, and I'll make you better at night!"
Facing this angry teenager, An Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll wait to eat." ”
And the calmest among them was Feng Lingxiao, who didn't care about anything from the beginning, just silently put the dishes in her bowl, and waited until An Ning came back to her senses to find that each dish was on her own plate, stacked neatly and orderly. As soon as my heart warmed, I immediately tasted the chopsticks, and after eating a few bites, I found that they were all looking at themselves, "What are you watching me do?"
Several people were stunned for a moment and then hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to enjoy, An Ning pursed her lips and smiled, for some reason seeing this scene always made her think of the word "cute", although it seemed very strange to use it on them. "Let's be honest, have you already planned the event?"
After a moment of silence, several people smiled embarrassedly, of course they had thought about what they would do when they were alone with her, yes, alone. An Ning knew that she had guessed correctly, and asked resignedly, "Tell me, what activities do you all have in mind?"
Several people glanced at each other, and found that although the woman was eating, her expression was extremely serious, and it seemed that the previous noise made her very unhappy, so this time the speech seemed much more peaceful. "An Ning, you haven't gone to the streets since you came to the monarchy, I want to accompany you for a walk, it's very interesting. Nan Jiuxi said that in order to ensure that she would not feel bored, he went to the market in advance and stepped on the road.
"Anning, I have a very nice handicraft workshop, you can make your own handicrafts you want, if you get bored, there is a very quiet teahouse next to it. The royal court smiled gently, and his warm face was full of anticipation.
"Tranquility, there is a warm palace outside the city gate, although it is not as good as the last time, but the hot spring inside can still let you relax, and it is good for your body to soak more. Jun Li said with a smile.
Ming Lan was simply disdainful of their proposal, rolled her eyes and leaned closer to her and smiled: "Ah Ning, their activities are too dull, let's go camping in the suburbs, there is a mountain over there, there are many rare herbs, animals and plants on it, you will definitely be surprised." ”
Feng Lingxiao has been paying close attention to her food situation, as long as there is less food on the plate, he will immediately make up for it, and then noticed her inquiring gaze, and smiled softly: "I don't have any activities I want to do, but as long as it is something you want to do, I will accompany it." ”
Feng Lingxiao, this guy...... It's really dead to him that he can talk!
After they finished speaking one by one, An Ning looked at the obviously much quieter young man beside him, and smiled slightly: "Ah Yan, what about you?"
Huang Yan looked at her seriously: "I don't need that much, as long as you can enjoy the meal I made at night." ”
An Ning's heart is full of warmth, since a long time ago, she thought that she would live a dull and carefree life, because there will never be relatives like her mother and brother to care for her, but after meeting them, all they bring to them is endless, beyond their imagination of care and care. God is still kind to her after all, isn't it?
Looking at the anticipation and excitement on their faces, An Ning smiled lightly and agreed: "Okay, just follow this, but I only have one, so you can decide the order of the activities yourself!"
The men's eyes widened instantly, and they couldn't believe what they were hearing, and she answered!
"No problem!"
