Chapter 137: Zhang Guiyi's Birthday Gift (Part II)

"His Royal Highness King Yingwang sent a pair of white bi, two golden hairpins, and fifteen silk horses; Princess Dening sent a string of ...... from Nanzhu"

As a small chamberlain read out the gift list sent by the princes and princesses in a loud voice, Zhang Guiyi's face also showed excitement, although Zhao Yan used to send some ordinary birthday gifts every time, but this year Zhao Yan has changed so much, and he has sent gifts to the palace several times before, so Zhang Guiyi also has some expectations for the birthday gift that Zhao Yan gave him.

"The king of Guangyang County gave a white jade Guanyin, fifteen pieces of silk, a pair of jasper bracelets, and three loads of seaweed!" At this time, the little chamberlain finally read the birthday gift sent by Zhao Yan, but when Zhang Guiyi heard the gift sent by Zhao Yan, she couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on her face.

Among the gifts sent by Zhao Yan, the most special is only the last three loads of seaweed, this kind of dried vegetables from the seaside is said to be not only delicious, but also beautiful and beautiful for women to eat.

However, except for the seaweed, the rest of the gifts are also very ordinary, at least compared with other princes and princesses, there is nothing particularly outstanding, which makes Zhang Guiyi a little disappointed, but then she smiled a little self-deprecatingly, Zhao Yan didn't know that he was his biological mother, and the birthday gifts he sent were already very good, but he seemed a little greedy.

Thinking that Zhao Yan didn't know that he was his biological mother, Zhang Guiyi also had mixed feelings in her heart, but now there are some sisters who come to congratulate her on her birthday, so she is not easy to show off. I had to fight hard to entertain the sisters, and at noon a small birthday banquet was held in the temple until the sisters were happy.

After Zhang Guiyi commanded the palace people to remove the remnant seats, he asked people to send the birthday gift sent by Zhao Yan to the room, and then checked it the same, and his face also showed a kind of love, at this time of year, Zhang Guiyi felt the happiest moment.

But at this moment, suddenly a palace maid outside whispered: "Qi Guiyi, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang are here." They said they wanted to celebrate your birthday alone! ”

Zhang Guiyi was also stunned when she heard this. She is also very familiar with Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang, especially Princess Shoukang, who has also been living in the palace and usually accompanies Empress Dowager Cao. She went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. From time to time, you will meet Princess Shoukang. Occasionally, they will talk about each other, and although their feelings are good, they will not let the two princesses congratulate her on her birthday alone. So when Zhang Guiyi heard that the two princesses were coming, she was also a little puzzled for a while.

However, doubts are doubts, Zhang Guiyi still got up immediately, and personally went to the palace gate to welcome the two princesses in, only to see that the two princesses are now all smiling, among which Princess Shoukang is carrying a big box in her hand, and I don't know what is inside?

At that moment, Zhang Guiyi welcomed Princess Bao'an and the two to the palace, and waited until the three of them sat down, then they smiled and said, "Shu Ning, Kang Ning, why do you two have time to come to me?" ”

Hearing Zhang Guiyi's question, I saw Princess Bao'an smile first: "Today is Guiyi's thirtieth birthday, and the third sister said that she was often taken care of by Guiyi when she was in the palace, so our sisters came to celebrate Guiyi's birthday, and also brought a special birthday gift!" ”

"Hehe, I'm very happy that your sisters can come, and didn't you already send birthday gifts before, why did you bring gifts again?" Zhang Guiyi couldn't help but be happy when she heard Princess Bao'an's words, but then she thought of Princess Bao'an's unfortunate marriage, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment.

"Hehe, Guiyi doesn't know, this gift is not ordinary, and our sisters are also entrusted, so you must see it with your own eyes!" Princess Shoukang was a little naughty at this time, her temperament was lively, especially in front of acquaintances, she had no scruples, this kind of true temperament was very rare in the palace, and it was estimated that this was also the reason why Empress Dowager Cao liked her very much.

Zhang Guiyi heard that this gift was brought in by the two princesses, and she suddenly thought that the other party seemed to have been living in Zhao Yan's courtyard, which made her suddenly guess something, and she trembled her lips and said very excitedly: "No...... I don't know what kind of gift it is, but it's ...... And by whom? ”

Princess Shoukang did not immediately answer Zhang Guiyi's words, but glanced at Princess Bao'an, then put the box in her hand on the table, and opened it gently, and a very tempting sweet fragrance immediately emanated from it. I saw that there was a round pastry-like thing in the box, the surface of the pastry was painted with flowers, and in the middle of the position, there were four big words written "Happy Birthday", if there are future generations here, you can naturally recognize this as a birthday cake at a glance.

"This ...... What is it? Zhang Guiyi naturally didn't know the birthday cake, and was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Guiyi doesn't know, this is a kind of pastry, called birthday cake, which was originally used by foreign races in the extreme west to celebrate their birthdays, and it is said that only nobles and kings are eligible to enjoy it, and the third brother doesn't know where to learn how to make this birthday cake, so he spent a few days practicing hard, and today he got up early before dawn, and he was busy for a long time to make such a one, and begged me and my second sister to bring the cake into the palace to celebrate Guiyi's birthday!" Princess Shoukang also said with a smile here, she also found out this morning that Zhao Yan was busy making this birthday cake these days.

"This ...... Is this really Yan'er's own doing? Zhang Guiyi heard Princess Shoukang's words, her whole body trembled slightly with excitement, she didn't care what Zhao Yan sent, as long as it could reflect his filial piety, and the cake made by Zhao Yan in front of her was undoubtedly the greatest embodiment of Zhao Yan's filial piety to her.

"Guiyi, the third brother had a few blisters burned on his hands in order to make this cake, and I, the elder sister, felt distressed, but he didn't care." At this time, Princess Bao'an also said softly, the cake needs to be baked in the oven, Zhao Yan had only seen others make cakes before, but he had no experience in this area, so he only spent a few days practicing, but unfortunately because he was not familiar with it, he suffered a lot.

Hearing Princess Bao'an's words, Zhang Guiyi's tears immediately welled up, and her heart was distressed and happy, and she was distressed that Zhao Yan was injured in order to prepare this gift, although she only burned a few blisters, but for Zhang Guiyi's mother, it was like ripping flesh in her heart, but thinking that Zhao Yan was so painstaking to prepare a birthday gift for herself, this made Zhang Guiyi feel extremely happy, and at the same time, she also felt that her son had finally grown up, and he was no longer the third prince who only knew how to mess around.

Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang looked at Zhang Guiyi with tears in her eyes, the two were happy that Zhao Yan and Zhang Guiyi's mother and son recognized each other, and at the same time, they also thought of their mother, they had already found out their biological mother through Cao Ying, and it was a coincidence that their mother was also surnamed Zhang, but because she gave birth to a princess, her status was not as good as Zhang Guiyi, but she was named a contour, and it was even more coincidental that the relationship between this Zhang Xiurong and Zhang Guiyi was still very close. It's just that Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang can't recognize each other for the time being, and they are afraid of revealing something when they meet, so they deliberately choose to come over after the other party leaves.

I saw Zhang Guiyi excited for a long time, and finally stretched out her slightly trembling hands, wanting to taste the cake that her son had carefully prepared for herself, but at this time, Princess Shoukang stopped her again and said, "Guiyi, please wait, there are still some ceremonies to be held before eating the cake." ”

When Princess Shoukang spoke, Princess Bao'an reached out and took out three thin colored candles from the box, which was also made by Zhao Yan herself, and then put the candle on the cake and lit it, Princess Bao'an said: "Guiyi, the third brother said that before eating the cake, you must light the candle first, today is your thirtieth birthday, a candle represents ten years old, you need to close your eyes in front of the candle and acquiesce to a wish in your heart, and then blow out the candle, it is said that the wish made in this way will definitely come true!" ”

Zhang Guiyi was surrounded by happiness at this time, and when she heard Princess Bao'an's words, she just nodded with tears in her eyes, and then according to Princess Bao'an's words, she closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart: May the gods and Buddhas bless my son, and I don't want him to be famous in future generations, but I just want him to spend this life in peace in the future!

The Western-style cake was made by Zhang Guiyi with the Eastern gods and Buddhas, which seemed a bit nondescript, and even Zhao Yan didn't think of this, maybe it was precisely because of this that Zhang Guiyi's promise not only did not come true, but also had the opposite effect, making Zhao Yan's life colorful and becoming the most dazzling figure in history. However, Zhang Guiyi's wish was not completely unfulfilled, although Zhao Yan's life encountered several thrills, but in the end he came over safely.

After making a wish, Zhang Guiyi blew out the candle in one go, and then Princess Shoukang handed her the wooden knife and asked her to divide the cake herself.

"Well, it's delicious, the third brother said that the thing on the cake is called cream, and it is made of goat's milk, but I didn't expect it to taste so good!" After Princess Shoukang got a piece of herself, she immediately tasted it impatiently, and was immediately conquered by the sweetness and taste of the cake.

"Yan'er has a heart, this is the best pastry I have ever eaten in my life!" Zhang Guiyi also cried while eating, she ate not only delicious, but also a piece of filial piety for her son.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then Zhao Shu, who was still a little sickly on his face, suddenly walked in and said with a smile: "What are you three eating, as soon as I come in, I smell the sweetness?" (To be continued!)
