Chapter 52: Celebrating the Birthday
"If it was Wei Kuichong's doing, among Wei Kuichong's people, there were only two people who had this ability, Situ Yue and Situ Yu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Zuo Huaishu said.
Although Lan Shaofeng has never seen Situ Yue and Situ Yu in person, he has also heard of them, and they are both ruthless people.
After that, Lan Shaofeng ordered Zuo Huaishu to be sent back to the palace.
He led people to search for Wei Wenguang inside and outside the city, but after a few days, he found nothing.
Wei Wenguang disappeared out of thin air like this.
In autumn, the days gradually become shorter and the nights longer, and just after the unitary time, the sky becomes dark.
Lan Shaofeng rarely went to Xuanyang Hall recently, and some people in the palace discussed in private, did their prince start to snub the princess?
In Lan Shaofeng's study, Qin Fangyong was reporting to Lan Shaofeng about the daily affairs in Jinlin City.
"Lord Wang, Lord Taiwei's third son was sick a few days ago, and it seems to be very serious." Qin Fang Yongyu reported.
"What disease?" Regarding things related to Liu Wan'er, Lan Shaofeng will inevitably be more concerned.
"I don't know what the disease is, but I've been unconscious." Qin Fangyong said.
Lan Shaofeng was silent for a long time, thinking about something.
"You will act as the king early tomorrow morning and go to the Taiwei Mansion to visit." It's just that Taiwei Liu's son is sick, and it is not appropriate for him to visit, so Lan Shaofeng explained to Qin Fangyong.
"Yes." Qin Fangyong replied.
At this time, human voices sounded outside the study.
"Lord, Mama Chang asks to see you." The guards outside reported to Lan Shaofeng in the study.
Mama Chang? Lan Shaofeng was a little surprised. For the first time in such a long time, the people of Xuanyang Hall took the initiative to ask to see him. Did Zuo Huaishu ask Mama Chang to come to him?
"Let Mama Chang in." Lan Shaofeng said outside.
"Lord Wang, your subordinates will retreat first." After Qin Fangyong finished speaking, he opened the door of the study and retreated.
When Qin Fangyong went out, he saw Mama Chang standing outside the study, Qin Fangyong has always been very polite to the people in Xuanyang Palace, Mama Chang saw Qin Fangyong, and also bowed respectfully.
Mama Chang then entered the study, and Lan Shaofeng sat behind the desk. There was only one candle burning in the room, the light was not very bright, and the blue Shaofeng in the dim light looked even more cold.
"The old slave sees the prince." Mama Chang respectfully saluted Lan Shaofeng.
"Excuse me." After Lan Shaofeng finished speaking, he asked again, "Did she ask you to come to this king?" ”
"It's not." Mama Chang didn't dare to look at Lan Shaofeng, and kept her face down.
Lan Shaofeng has been looking at Mama Chang, it is not Zuo Huaishu's orders, what will Mama Chang do when she comes to him?
"You came to this king, what's the matter?" Lan Shaofeng's harsh and majestic voice made people shudder.
"That, yes, yes," Under Lan Shaofeng's strong momentum, Mama Chang seemed very cautious, and she was also hesitating in her heart, whether she should say it to Lan Shaofeng.
"What is it?" Lan Shaofeng asked again.
"Today is the princess's birthday, and the old slave wants to invite the prince...... Go to Xuanyang Palace. Mama Chang finally said.
Today is Zuo Huaishu's birthday?
"Why didn't you tell this king earlier." Lan Shaofeng said.
"That's ......" Mama Chang didn't reply much, it wasn't because Lan Shaofeng didn't go to Xuanyang Hall much during this time. Mama Chang was really afraid that Lan Shaofeng would snub their princess again, so after hesitating again and again, she came to Lan Shaofeng.
"You go back first." Lan Shaofeng said to Mama Chang.
"What about the prince?" Mama Chang asked.
"This king will come over later." Lan Shaofeng said.
"The old slave retired." Mama Chang turned around and walked in the direction of the door.
"Wait." Before Mama Chang went out, Lan Shaofeng stopped Mama Chang again.
"What else does the prince command?" Mama Chang asked.
"How did she spend her birthday?" Lan Shaofeng asked.
"When the queen mother is still alive, every time the princess is born, the emperor will invite hundreds of civil and military officials to a banquet in the Fengyi Palace." Mama Chang recalled the scene at that time, it was really very lively, but it was a long, long time ago, "After the princess was imprisoned in the cold palace, on this day every year, the old slave would ask the guards for a bowl of noodles. It is said that it is noodles, and it is very simple, noodles, water, and salt, and there is no other place. ”
With the situation of Zuo Huaishu and Chang Mama at that time, it was extremely difficult to get a bowl of noodles, where could they pick and choose.
The only thing is that he wronged Zuo Huaishu, who was a princess.
Lan Shaofeng listened to Mama Chang's words, and was also thinking about Zuo Huaishu, imagining the scene when she lived in the cold palace.
"This king knows, you can step aside." Lan Shaofeng let Mama Chang go.
Lan Shaofeng was still in the study, he was thinking about how to celebrate Zuo Huaishu's birthday. He stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open the long window, and it was already dark outside. If Mama Chang had come to tell him a day or two in advance, what else could he have prepared, but now, at this hour? Lan Shaofeng couldn't even think of what gift to give to Zuo Huaishu.
And what would she want? Jewelry and jade? Silk satin? Or something else? If only Ning Yun was here, he would definitely be able to give him an idea.
Half a quarter of an hour had passed in an instant, and Lan Shaofeng shouted outside the study, "Someone." ”
The door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and a guard entered.
"Are there any fireworks left from last year's New Year?" Lan Shaofeng asked.
"There is nothing left. However, the Kong Ming lanterns of this year's Lantern Festival have not been put and are still kept. The guard said.
"Take those Kong Ming lanterns to Xuanyang Palace." Lan Shaofeng explained.
In the Xuanyang Palace, Mama Chang went to the side hall with the longevity noodles made in the kitchen, Zuo Huaishu, Ziyi, and Danyun were all in the hall.
Mama Chang put the big bowl of longevity noodles on the wooden table, and the noodles in the bowl were much more abundant than those in the cold palace, with meat, eggs, and side dishes, all of which were full of color and fragrance.
"The princess is a year old today, I wish the princess every year today, every year there is a future!" Mama Chang said to Zuo Huaishu kindly. Zuo Huaishu and the late Queen Anling are more and more similar, but they are only similar in appearance, but the temperament of the two is completely different.
Chang Mama doesn't want Zuo Huaishu to be rich and noble in the future, she just hopes that someone can treat her well, and she can live a peaceful and happy life.
"Hmm!" Zuo Huaishu responded softly.
"Princess, eat noodles, noodles should be eaten while they are hot." Mama Chang said again.
Zuo Huaishu moved from the Luohan bed to the round table and sat down, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat noodles. And when Zuo Huaishu was eating noodles, Mama Chang frequently looked in the direction of the temple gate, was there something outside the hall? Or is Mama Chang waiting for someone to come? But who else will come?
"Mama Chang, is there anything outside the hall?" Zuo Huaishu still asked.
"No, nothing!" Mama Chang didn't tell Zuo Huaishu that she had gone to find Lan Shaofeng and promised to come to Xuanyang Hall with Lan Shaofeng, it had been more than half an hour, why hadn't His Royal Highness King Yan come yet? Isn't it coming? Mama Chang's expression was a little uneasy.
Zuo Huaishu didn't suspect Mama Chang, she continued to eat noodles, and halfway through the noodles, Danyun suddenly shouted, "Princess, look outside, it's Kong Ming lantern!" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Huaishu looked outside the hall, and there seemed to be a Kong Ming lantern in the air outside, but it was not very real in the hall.
Danyun ran out first, and then ran back after a while, "Princess, go out and have a look!" ”
Zuo Huaishu put down his chopsticks and followed Danyun to the outside of the hall, followed by Ziyi and Mama Chang. Then, Zuo Huaishu saw that one after another Kong Ming lanterns slowly rose into the night sky. The direction in which the Kong Ming lantern rose was very close to where they were standing, as if it had risen from the Xuanyang Palace.
Who put the Kong Ming lantern in the Xuanyang Palace?
Zuo Huaishu looked at Ziyi and Danyun, who didn't seem to know either.
The Kong Ming lanterns in the night sky are gathering more and more, and there is a steady stream of Kong Ming lanterns emitting, and those lit Kong Ming lanterns are like shining stars, shining.
Just when Zuo Huaishu wanted Danyun to see who was putting the Kong Ming lantern, Lan Shaofeng appeared in front of her.
Mama Chang saw Lan Shaofeng at a glance, she glanced at Danyun and Ziyi, and retreated together.
Outside the palace gate, there were only Zuo Huaishu and Lan Shaofeng.
"Today's birthday, why didn't you tell this king?" Lan Shaofeng walked in front of Zuo Huaishu.
"These Kong Ming lanterns, did the prince let them go?" Zuo Huaishu didn't expect Lan Shaofeng to come today.
"Mama Chang only went to tell this king about your birthday today, so I only prepared these." Lan Shaofeng said.
It turned out to be Mama Chang! However, it is already commendable that Lan Shaofeng can put the effort to do these things for her.
"It's just a birthday, so you don't have to spend so much time." Born or not, Zuo Huaishu himself didn't take it seriously.
And today, it is her seventeenth birthday.
"Don't like it?" Lan Shaofeng couldn't figure out whether Zuo Huaishu liked it or not, he was the worst at coaxing women, even if he wanted to be good to her, he didn't know what to do.
"It's not. It's beautiful. Zuo Huaishu said and sat down on the steps.
Lan Shaofeng followed and sat next to her.
"Make a wish on Kong Ming's lantern." Lan Shaofeng looked at the rising Kong Ming lantern and said to Zuo Huaishu.
Zuo Huaishu clasped his hands and put them under his forehead, and silently made a wish.
"What did you wish for?" Lan Shaofeng waited for Zuo Huaishu to make a wish and asked.
"I hope that the prince will live forever and be healthy in this life." Zuo Huaishu said. She never liked to owe someone something, and there were favors, or whatever. Since Lan Shaofeng put a Kong Ming lantern for her, then she made a wish for him.
"Why don't you make a wish for yourself?" Lan Shaofeng didn't expect her to make a wish for him.
"Who said that a wish must be made to yourself." Zuo Huaishu said in a light voice.
Lan Shaofeng's hand was wrapped around Zuo Huaishu's shoulder, and she didn't break free. Whether it is his back or his arms, they all give people a strong, strong, steady and steady feeling. Zuo Huaishu's heart is sometimes shaken, and sometimes, she doesn't even know herself.
