Back in the house, it was already dark. As soon as he went out for a whole day, he didn't say a word to Brother Chen in advance, Gu Ye was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and walked towards Tingjian Xuan in a gloomy manner.

She didn't notice that the people she met along the way all had beaming expressions on their faces and greeted her. As soon as she stepped into Tingjian Xuan, her eyes suddenly darkened, a familiar aura enveloped her, and her eyes were covered by a pair of warm big hands.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing here?" Gu Ye stopped because of the darkness in front of him, but he didn't panic at all. Brother Chen's here, he won't let her be hurt in the slightest.

"Take you somewhere ......" Ling Juechen covered the little girl's eyes with one hand, and held her little hand with a big palm, leading her in the direction of the East Cross Courtyard.

Gu Ye grinned and picked his palm, "Is this to give me some surprise?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment!" Ling Jiechen slowed down his pace and led the little girl to the East Cross Courtyard step by step. As soon as he entered the East Cross Courtyard, he took his hand away from the little girl's eyes.

Gu Ye slowly opened his eyes, and his small mouth slowly opened, forming an "O" shape. Wow! Is this a starry sky, has it fallen into the mortal world? At night, it is pitch black in the east courtyard, and at this time it is full of lights.

On both sides of the road, glass-covered candles shimmered with golden light. All the way by, it seems to be a patchwork of countless brilliant ellipses. The trees on both sides are also covered with glass lamps the size of ping-pong balls, and from a distance, it seems that countless fireflies are jumping and flying.

Looking at the lotus pond again, it seems that on every lotus leaf, there are candles jumping, and the glass is reflecting, converging into a sea of lights and a world of light. On the water, there are red lotus lanterns, adding a different color to the golden ocean.

"Wow-" Gu Ye was deeply amazed, and couldn't help but say, "What day is today, so grand?" With so many lights, it takes a long time to set them up, right? Not to mention customizing these glass candle lights...... Brother Chen, you are really a local tyrant! ”

Ling Juechen took her little hand, followed the path guided by the light, and walked in the direction of the water pavilion, selling Guanzi in his mouth: "You'll know later!" ”

"I see, you don't want to propose to me, do you?" Gu Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and grinned, "Although this world pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, even if you propose marriage, I can't easily agree to you." But it's really romantic! I didn't expect you, a big ice cube, to have such a romantic side! Come, reward you with a kiss! ”

Gu Ye stopped, held Ling Juechen's cheek, stood on tiptoe, kissed it with a little bit of water, ran to the water's edge, picked up a pink lotus lamp, and held it in his hand. A lotus flower made of glass, and inside is a red candle. The candle is burning, the candle flame is jumping.

Gu Ye happily held it in the palm of his hand and said, "I have always felt sorry that I didn't go to enjoy the lanterns with Brother Chen during this year's Lantern Festival. The glass lamp that Brother Chen sent to our family has become a prosperous Beijing in the capital. Our town is in the limelight! Tonight's lights, because of Brother Chen's side, are even more dazzling than that night! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear a chuckle from someone. Although it was light and short, it was still keenly captured by her. Gu Ye stopped and asked, "Brother Chen, have you heard anything?" Is there anyone else in this garden besides us? ”

By this time, they had come to the water pavilion not far away. Gu Ye only cared about admiring the bright lights in the garden like the starry sky, and didn't notice the entire courtyard, except for the water pavilion, which was pitch black, as if half disappeared from the garden.

Suddenly, Gu Ye's little white face was illuminated. The originally dark water pavilion suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the wall of the water pavilion, with red lights, formed seven shiny big characters: "Little leaf, happy birthday!" ”

"Wow! Bulb! Brother Chen, did you get a light bulb? Gu Ye seemed to have misunderstood the point, looking at the long-lost electric lights, and had an urge to cry. Ever since the East Cross Courtyard was electrified, she had been thinking about the electric light.

But in her space, except for two small charging table lamps, there are no light bulbs, electric rods, energy-saving lamps, and anything like that. This made her feel sorry.

I didn't expect Brother Chen to get the light bulb out so quickly, and there were actually colored ones. Brother Chen is really an ancient "Edison"!

Ling Juechen pointed to the words composed of red light bulbs, and said with a smile: "Look there, shouldn't the focus be on the words 'Happy Birthday'?" ”

"Birthday? My birthday? Isn't my birthday the end of April? It's only the sixth day of the sixth month of June...... "Gu Ye was confused. How did she not know that today was her birthday? Brother Dust can't be mistaken, right?

On this year's birthday, she and her brother passed by on the way to Yanguo, ate longevity noodles, and lay two poached eggs, almost not supporting her. Aunt Yan also blamed herself, saying that she couldn't give her a grand birthday party!

"At the end of April, it was your brother Gu Ming's birthday, and your real birthday was the sixth day of the sixth month of June. I confirmed it with the Duchess of Zhenguo last year. If you don't believe it, go ask your sixth brother! Ling Juechen touched this little confused head and said with a smile.

As soon as his words fell, the originally silent water pavilion suddenly burst out with a loud and cheerful "Happy birthday!" Then, a crowd poured out of the pavilion.

Gu Ye pointed to one of the familiar figures and said dumbfoundedly, "Princess Hejia...... Didn't you take Xian'er back to the princess's mansion? How did you get to King Ning's Mansion before me? Oh...... I understand, you lured me out and didn't let me back until the evening, just to help Brother Chen surprise me! ”

"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, you ...... When did you get home? Gu Ye's eyes were full of surprises, "Concubine Tong, Concubine Qin, and Little Princess Roufu, can you leave the palace?" ”

The eldest princess Rong He walked over, took the little girl's hand, patted her gently, and said, "In order to prepare this surprise for you, Chen'er sent me a letter a few days in advance, inviting me to go back to your house to attend your birthday dinner." ”

Concubine Qin said with a smile: "The emperor learned that today is your birthday for the little divine doctor, so he specially asked me and Concubine Tong to celebrate the birthday of the little divine doctor on his behalf." ”

Concubine Tong added: "Originally, the emperor wanted to come in person. The four princes who were recuperating in the Qiankun Palace somehow knew, and they were also clamoring to follow. also said that if the emperor didn't take him, he would sneak out of the palace. He had only been operating for two days, so how dare he let him move around at will? The emperor was so angry that he wanted to whip him. I simply didn't come by myself, and stayed in the Qiankun Palace to watch the four princes......"

Thinking of Emperor Shengde's anger and unwillingness, Concubine Tong covered her mouth and smiled.

"Gee, but it's a fourteenth birthday, it doesn't have to be so grand. I'm really embarrassed to move the people......" Gu Ye had a look on his face, and his eyes were full of emotion.

Mrs. Niu also brought a few daughters-in-law and her youngest daughter Fang Jianniang. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Yes, although you are far away from your hometown and relatives, this birthday banquet cannot be neglected." Fourteen years old is the last birthday before the end of the day, and of course it should be celebrated lively. ”

Fang Jianniang nodded and said with a smile: "Every year on my birthday, my mother will give me a big deal." The mother said that the days when her daughter's family was in her mother's house were only more than ten years. Every birthday is one step closer to the day of home. So cherish every spring and autumn that the girl is at home! ”

When Gu Ye heard this, she was inexplicably a little sentimental: she had never been by her parents' side, and she had a birthday banquet! If you can't celebrate her birthday, your mother will be very disappointed, right?

Chu Mushan squeezed out of the crowd with a big package, and said with a smile: "This is a birthday gift from your mother." Go get it on! ”

Gu Ye opened the package, and inside was a set of dresses made by the Jun family and a pair of embroidered shoes. There is also a set of pink pearl heads.

My mother knew that she liked pink pearls, and I didn't know where to find this set of jewelry, each pearl on it had the size of a little finger cap, round and symmetrical, very rare.

This set of clothes is embroidered with her favorite begonia flowers, and every stitch and thread carries Jun's strong love for her daughter.

Gu Ye's nose was sour, she took the clothes that her mother had sewn for herself, and said to the eldest princess and the two mothers: "I'll go change my clothes and lose my company first." ”

The eldest princess patted her on the shoulder, smiled lovingly, and said, "Go! Dusty has other surprises for you......"

Gu Ye turned around and smiled brightly at Ling Juechen. Ling Juechen smiled and nodded, speechless but closer to each other's hearts than a thousand words.

When Gu Ye came out again, she was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress, and the apricot yellow short skirt was embroidered with a branch of begonias, so delicate that the stamens of the begonias were distinct. On the belt, there are also a few gemstones wrapped in the shape of begonias. The hair has also been recombed, and the delicate lily bun is dotted with pink pearls inlaid in the shape of begonias, which is dignified and delicate. The whole person is graceful, like a begonia fairy.

The crowd praised her again. Gu Ye gently stroked the dress on her body, she had grown a little taller in the past two months, she was raised by Brother Chen's delicious food and drink, and she also had some flesh on her body. Mother's dress, but it seems to be tailor-made for her.

In the past two months, she often passed on books to her mother, Feiying, about what she did and what she ate in Shengjing, no matter how big or small, she wrote wherever she wanted. The mother was able to extract her current appearance from her messy words and make a well-fitting dress.

The letter she wrote, her mother must take it out from time to time and read it. She seemed to see her mother holding her letter in the candlelight, smiling and tearfully sharing the bits and pieces of her letter with her father......

Thinking of this, in Gu Ye's eyes, there was a flow of heat converging. Ling Juechen seemed to see through what she was thinking, walked up to her, and held her hand wordlessly.
