Chu Tao was just in time and bumped into Liu, who was in the side room of the Immortal Palace, looking anxious: "My little ancestor, where have you been?" But it makes me anxious! ”

Chu Tao limped away, and also realized the seriousness of the matter, and replied, "My daughter should die." Did the mother alarm others? ”

Because today is not only Chu Tao's birthday, but also the day to celebrate the eighth prince, all the people present are people with heads and faces, Liu did not dare to easily disturb everyone, and was afraid that the disappearance of Chu Tao would cause everyone to speculate and spread the reputation, so he temporarily suppressed it and did not dare to mention it, but he just found a few henchmen and maids to go out to look for it first, and it didn't take long for Chu Tao to come back by himself.

Liu saw that Chu Tao was injured, and hurriedly asked the reason, naturally scolded the mother-in-law and maid, and vowed to go back to strictly rectify the servants around Chu Tao.

Chu Tao took off her makeup, leaving a palm-sized and plain little face, as tender as a freshly peeled egg, with two spring mountain green willow eyebrows, a pair of autumn dust-free apricot eyes, one hand on the small round table, the other hand bored on the nectarine fruit on the table.

Xiaohuan and Xiaoyan were punished and couldn't serve in front of Chu Tao, so they came to be accompanied by two old ladies from Liu's side. Chu Tao was full of worries and no one told him, and he was holding back his anger and sprinkled all his anger on these two mothers-in-law.

Just now, one of the grandmothers took the silk thread and came over to twist Chu Tao's face, how high Chu Tao's mouth was cocked, and muttered: "I don't, I don't, what kind of noodles are twisted on this big night, and I don't want to marry tomorrow." As soon as she finished getting married, she was even more annoyed, and the nectarines in her hands didn't roll, so she waved her big hand and said, "Go down, remove these peaches." ”

"Who am I going to lose your temper like that?" Outside the house, there was the banter of Hatsuzakura. It turned out that Chu Ju and Chu Ying came over to give Chu Tao a birthday gift, and before they entered the door, they heard Chu Tao lose her temper at the old mama.

Chu Tao was unhappy and said: "This doesn't matter what, this doesn't work, it doesn't work, it doesn't even work at the old mother, what's the meaning of this day." ”

Chu Ju took over: "Look how high your mouth is, you can hang up the oil pot." If you don't hurt yourself naughty, how can your mother take care of you like this. ”

Chu Tao said: "You still say me, you yourself are also unconscious." ”

Hatsuju twisted Hatsumo's face and said, "It's my dog who is nosy with rats!" ”

Chu Ying motioned to the girl behind her, the mandarin duck, to bring the congratulatory gift, and waved her hand to let the two grandmothers go out. Only then did he say softly to Chu Tao: "Okay, okay, let's see what good gifts your sisters have prepared for you?" ”

Chu Tao smiled at this time: "Sister Ju's share that doesn't need to be guessed, it must be thirteen gold ingots." "Since the age of ten, the congratulatory gifts given by the first orange to the first peach are gold ingots, and a few ingots will be given on the birthday of a few years. Chu Tao lifted the hijab, and there were thirteen golden ingots on the plate.

"You said it yourself, the only thing you can rely on in this world is ingots! Besides, I don't lose this gift, and when you celebrate your 80th birthday, I will also give you a heavy ingot, with a congratulatory message written on it - blessing such as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan. Hatsuju said.

Chu Taole smiled and said, "Eighty gold ingots, if you want to come, you have to use several plates." What did Sister Sakura give? Then he went to look at another plate, on which was an unusually beautiful dance dress.

Except for those close to them, few people know that Hatsu Peach Dance is extremely good, but the dancing costumes are often different from the regular clothes, the skirt length is only above the ankle, and the cuffs are also slightly tighter, which fits the body better. The stitches of this dance skirt are exceptionally flat and tight, and it fits the shape of Hatsu Tao perfectly. The innermost layer is crescent white silky close-fitting satin, the second layer is made of kingfisher and pearl bird feathers, and hundreds of butterflies are embroidered on the feathers, including powder blue, peacock blue, lake blue, sky blue and so on dozens of different shades of blue. The third layer is blue tulle, the fourth layer is blue, white and red twist threads woven into a circle, and the four layers complement each other rather than being cumbersome. The cuffs are sewn with pearls to show off the luxury.

Chu Tao looked at this skirt, her eyes wet, and she was so moved that she was incoherent. Chu Ying smiled, and the mandarin duck beside her spoke: "For this skirt, Sister Sakura almost burned her eyes, and it took three months to embroider it, and every butterfly on it was embroidered by Sister Sakura herself." ”

Chu Ju's expression darkened, looking at the deep sisterhood of the two people in front of him, speaking alone, Chu Ying has no other skills, and there are many ways to coax people, so it seems that my sister is thin. So his face was red and white for a while, and he talked to the two without smiling.

The three of them talked for a while, and Hatsu Sakura cautiously mentioned what happened today, and asked Hatsu Tao how she met the snake and how she was bitten by the snake. Chu Tao only picked up irrelevant things and said, and did not reveal the meeting of a strange boy. Just pretended to be casual and asked Chu Sakura: "Sister Sakura, there are three islands in Jichang Garden, except for Penglai Island, which we set foot on today, what are the other two islands for?" ”

Hatsu Sakura thought for a moment and replied, "Hojo Island is not only home to a stage, but also a lot of strange birds and beasts, and the feudal kingdoms often pay tribute, and they are probably stuffed with rare livestock that we haven't seen before." Animals are animals, and no matter how well they are raised, they still smell of stinking and roasting. ”

Hatsuju said, "A few days ago, when my father went to court, he talked about a pair of beautiful cranes sent by the feudal kingdom this year, all covered in pink feathers. While looking at the expression of the first cherry blossom, he shook his head and said: "Although it is a beast, there are always spiritual things that understand human nature, my father also saw the unicorn on the last year's longevity, and they all said that the unicorn can bring good luck, and sure enough, my father's illness will be cured after he comes back, Sister Peach, do you say?" ”

The father of the first cherry blossom on the Wanshou Festival is not qualified to go, and the first orange said this with some showing off, and the first cherry blossom didn't seem to hear the show-off meaning in her words, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Sister Ju is right, a spiritual creature like a unicorn can only be seen with the identity of the second uncle, how can I have such an opportunity." ”

Chu Tao's mind was on the pink crane and unicorn, and he asked, "What about Yingzhou Island?" Who are the people on Yingzhou Island? ”

Chu Ju looked at Chu Tao dissatisfiedly and said, "Yingzhou Island is where the princes study!" In addition to the crown prince and a few kings, the rest are not the princes who accompany the study, or some eunuchs and palace maids, who else can there be. ”

Chu Ying said: "I heard that Xue Congjia, the prince of Xiyi, is also studying on Yingzhou Island. ”

Chu Ju said disdainfully: "Xue Congjia? When his grandfather broke through Shangluo and hit his door, he was really afraid, and took the initiative to throw him out and hand him over to our Dongyi royal family as a proton, to say ugly, he is just a wild child who does not love his father and mother, I Dongyi is willing to give him a hot meal to eat, even if it is benevolent, but it is just a proton, how can there be a chance to read together. ”

Hatsu Sakura smiled and said, "Then I don't know, I heard that the four kings like to be with him." He sighed and said, "It's a prince, but it's reduced to this point." "The four kings in Chu Ying's mouth are the sons of Concubine De and the mother of Princess Xile.

Chu Ju said: "Sister Sakura's heart is too soft, he did unkind and unrighteous things first, as a son, it is just a father's debt to the son, you can pity him as well pity the wild cats and wild dogs that freeze to death outside." ”

Chu Tao didn't know these old things, and she still thought about her savior. I don't know when we'll see each other again.
