As soon as Momiji returned to the dormitory, Song Jiu immediately raised her head, she looked at Momiji's whole body with hope on her face, and when she found that Momiji came back empty-handed, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But soon she regained her composure, covering up the mood fluctuations just now, Hongye obviously noticed the change in Song Jiu's expression, and she hesitated to tell Song Jiu about Taifu personally preparing the cake for her.

Momiji really didn't want to see the emperor look disappointed and depressed now. "Your Majesty, the cake you just talked about, your subordinates couldn't make it, but it's ......"

"If you can't do it, forget it!" Before Song Jiu could finish speaking, she immediately interrupted her, and she replied, "I just said it casually, there is no such thing as cake in this world, so how can you make it!" ”

"This ......"

Hongye was about to explain, but she looked at the emperor's expression of pretending not to care, and suddenly thought that she would continue to let the emperor not know anything, so that when the prince finally brought the cake, the emperor would definitely be moved.

Hongye was not in a hurry to explain the matter clearly to Song Jiu, she turned her mind to the task that Mrs. Gu gave her, so she hurriedly walked to Song Jiu's side, she pulled a stool and sat down, and asked, "Your Majesty, you also said happy birthday song when you heard the cake before, what is this?" ”

Song Jiu listened to Hongye's question, she smiled slightly, and replied: "It's a song that is specially sung on birthdays, and it's nothing special." ”

Hongye showed a very curious expression, and she continued to ask: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have never heard such a song, can you sing it to your subordinates?" ”

"This ......"

Song Jiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, only to see her kiss open her lips and hum the song softly, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"

The Happy Birthday song was originally a very cheerful song, but because Song Jiu's mood was very heavy, and this song directly evoked many memories of Song Jiu in modern times, the more she sang it, the more sad she felt, and in the end she couldn't help it and choked up directly.

Hongye was a little sad when she heard Song Jiu sing, she gently held Song Jiu's hand and said, "What's wrong with the emperor today?" Why is the mood so low? Does this song have any special significance to the emperor? ”

Song Jiu shook her head slightly, and she pondered for a while before replying, "It's not of any special significance, it's just that this song reminds me of a completely different life in another place in the past." ”

Hongye began to understand Song Jiu's words again, and she blurted out, "Hasn't the emperor always lived in the palace?" Have you ever been to a different place? ”

Song Jiu just smiled faintly, she looked at Hongye for a long time before replying: "Hongye, there are many things that I can't tell you clearly, so don't ask, this shouldn't be what you know." ”

Momiji had no choice but to nod, and she continued: "Since the emperor is unwilling to tell his subordinates the secret behind this song, then his subordinates won't ask about it, but this happy birthday song is so good, is it good for the emperor to teach his subordinates to sing it?" ”

Song Jiu smiled again, and she replied: "Red leaves, this song is just one lyric over and over again, there is nothing to teach, you can understand it if you hum along with me a few times." ”

Song Jiu said and began to sing happy birthday songs again, and Hongye sang with her sentence by sentence, after the two sang the Chinese version, Song Jiu hesitated, and did not teach Hongye to sing the English version, after all, Hongye has never heard English, she so rashly taught her to sing, Hongye will inevitably ask her what country's language this is, and then Song Jiu will have to struggle to find a reason.

Song Jiu was a little tired when she sang and sang, she said to Hongye: "Hongye, I go to bed to rest for a while, and when it's time to eat, you remember to wake me up in advance." ”

Hongye nodded directly at Song Jiu and replied, "Then the emperor will have a good rest!" ”

Hongye helped Song Jiu to the bed, Song Jiu fell asleep not long after he lay down, and Hongye walked to the incense burner and directly extinguished the incense inside.

Gu Shengan knew that Song Jiu's mind had been heavy these days, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep, because of the poor rest, Song Jiu's body had also been affected, so that she had always been very weak.

In order to allow Song Jiu to sleep well, Gu Shengan deliberately made a lot of precious Anning incense to give to Hongye, and asked Hongye to directly light incense at a specific time every day, so that Song Jiu could fall asleep naturally.

Song Jiu didn't know anything about Gu Sheng'an's arrangement, she always thought that she was easy to get sleepy because her body was too weak, so every time she felt sleepy, she immediately went to sleep, and she didn't pay attention to the effect of the incense burner.

Song Jiu slept all afternoon, and when she woke up, the sky outside had completely darkened, because there was only a very faint candle lit in the dormitory, so when Song Jiu first opened his eyes, he thought he was in the dark.

Song Jiu immediately sat up from the bed, she saw clearly that she was still lying on her bed through that little light, and she was relieved, Song Jiu shouted softly Hongye, but she shouted many times and didn't see Hongye come out, she suddenly became even more worried.

Because Hongye has been inseparable from her for the past few days, and there has never been such a situation now, the more Song Jiu thinks about it, the more panicked she feels, but at this time, she doesn't dare to call Hongye's name too loudly, she is afraid that the guards of the town guards outside will hear her own call, so that the secret of Hongye hiding in the dormitory will be completely exposed.

The more Song Jiu thought about it, the more anxious she became, she simply jumped out of bed, she was about to rummage around the hall for news of red leaves, but suddenly, a man suddenly walked out of the inner hall, and he happened to be holding a round cake in his hand, and there were red candles next to the cake.

Standing next to Gu Shengan was Hongye, she was gently humming the happy birthday song to Song Jiu at this time, Song Jiu looked at the cake in front of her, and then listened to the song sung by Hongye, her whole person suddenly became a little trance, Song Jiu felt like she was in a dream, she once thought that everything she saw in front of her was an illusion.

It wasn't until Gu Shengan walked in front of Song Jiu that he said to Song Jiu gently: "Song Yan, although this cake has not been able to be made exactly like the one you painted on paper, I have tried my best to tell those pastry chefs to make it according to the pattern." ”

Hongye on the side also spoke: "Your Majesty, the Taifu has been busy all afternoon in order to make this cake!" It failed three times before it was finally made. ”
