Chapter 17: Happy Birthday
Lamborghini seemed to like the story of "white moonlight" that Zhao Jiu said, so he pestered Zhao Jiu all day long to ask her to tell it.
"Zhao Jiu Zhao Jiu, do you say that there are really people in the world who are as beautiful as snow and moon? I think our ten princes are beautiful enough, but he is not like snow or moon, he is like a blooming peony flower. β
Ferrari hissed contemptuously: "Peony flower? That's a woman. β
Lamborghini shook his ponytail and hit it: "Hmph, you haven't seen the beauty of our ten princes, how many girls in the imperial city are ashamed to see it, I am not wrong to describe him with peony flowers, Zhaojiu, don't you say?" β
Zhao Jiu was busy with his work, and replied perfunctorily: "Ah, yes. β
In fact, she hadn't even seen the people of the Ten Princes, and she didn't know what the Ten Princes looked like. However, it is indeed written in the novel that the Ten Princes are more beautiful than women, but it doesn't matter, she still prefers Yuan Xi.
Lamborghini stared curiously at the things in Zhao Jiu's hand: "Zhao Jiu, what are you making up?" β
Zhao Jiu made up intently: "Bracelet." β
Lamborghini: "Bracelets? Is it something like a rein? β
Ferrari immediately scoffed: "Stupid, Zhao Jiu is a man and not a horse, of course he is braided like a bracelet, and he has a rein...... Hahaha......"
"Youβdon't talk to me!" Lamborghini exhaled.
Zhao Jiu shook his head, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart: Brother, you're going to fall out of love!
Lamborghini asked Zhao Jiu again: "I heard that bracelets are usually given to people you like, Zhao Jiu, are you also going to give them to your sweetheart?" β
Zhao Jiu couldn't help but smile when she thought of the gentle Yuan Xi, although she also wanted to give this red rope bracelet to Yuan Xi, but now she had more important things to do.
"No, it's for a friend."
Ferrari: "This smile is exactly the same as when he thought about spring, it should be the sweetheart friend." β
Lamborghini pricked up his gossipy ears: "Which one?" Do I know each other? β
"......" Zhao Jiu shook his eyes speechlessly, "Big brother, don't always say that I'm good Sichun?" I'm not that in love, am I? β
Ferrari: "Oh, really? β
ββ¦β¦β
Dead straight horse, even speaking is a virtue with its master!
"And you, Lan Lan, don't gossip like that!"
Lamborghini: "Oh, I also want to know what Zhao Jiu's sweetheart looks like, is it the one who is stunning with the snow-colored moonlight?" β
Zhao Jiu quit the horse's chatting group, she was treated as the object of gossip and ridicule by a group of horses, how can she mix up after saying this?
Glancing at the center of the camp from a distance, it seemed that it was still lively, Zhao Jiu thought that Wen Mi should still be busy in the kitchen at this time, so he planned to go to the kitchen to find Wen Mi first. And when I was halfway there, I happened to meet Yu Fang who was walking back with a depressed face.
Previously, Yu Fang said that he wanted to see the true faces of the royal princes and nobles, so he ran to the center of the camp with great interest. And now it's this gray face, and it shouldn't have happened to any good things.
"What's wrong, you?" Zhao Jiu stopped him and asked, "How did you make yourself like this?" β
Yu Fang finally found someone to complain: "Zhao Jiu, I'm too miserable. I finally found a good position, thinking that I could take a look at the feast inside, but I didn't expect Princess Jingxi to suddenly rush out on a horse and almost stepped on me, if I hadn't dodged in time, you wouldn't have seen me today! β
Princess Jingxi is the fourteenth princess in the palace, a ten-year-old female doll, who likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, and looks like she is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Zhao Jiu listened and expressed sympathy: "You met her, no wonder you are so embarrassed." Go back and wash up, I don't know if you think you've rolled around in the mud. β
Didn't he just fall and roll around in the mud in fright?
Yu Fang was extremely aggrieved, and was just about to go back obediently, when he suddenly remembered something, so he came back and asked: "Zhao Jiu, when do you plan to do what the queen mother told you?" β
Regarding this matter, Zhao Jiu has been distressed.
Although Ferrari is a horse with no one in her eyes, she still treats Ferrari as a friend after many days of getting along. And when Zhang San and Li Si were in trouble with her, Ferrari not only helped her identify the poisonous weeds, but also taught Zhang San and Li Si a lesson for her. Besides, her inspiration for writing "King of the Horses" was Ferrari, and the novel can't be without the main character. So she didn't plan to give the queen bottle of poison to Ferrari to drink. But if she didn't give the Ferrari a drink, she wouldn't be able to explain it to the queen.
But God finally loved her once, and the day before she came to the twilight mountain, she was lucky enough to meet the heroine Wen Mi.
In the novel, it is written that the heroine Wen Mi is good at medicine, so she decided to go to Wen Mi to ask for a bottle of poison similar to the queen's bottle, but it is not toxic, and when the queen's people come to her tomorrow, she will give Ferrari in front of the queen's people. As for whether Ferrari will be poisoned or not, that's none of her business.
Zhao Jiu gave Yu Fang a reassuring look: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will find a way." β
She was still going to find Wen Mi, and after saying that, she left in a hurry. And Yu Fang looked at the back of her leaving, and always felt that she was comforting him and being reckless.
In the corner of the uninhabited camp, half of Yu Fang's body was hidden in the dark, and a dark cloud was shrouded between his eyebrows, not like his usual appearance. He slowly took out a bottle of something from his sleeve, frowned and looked at it for a while, and after a moment, he took it back as if he had made up his mind, and said to himself: "Ferrari, I'm sorry, for the sake of Zhao Jiu, I can only wronged you." β
*
The back kitchen is very busy, and one after another delicacies are sent out of it, the aroma is mouth-watering, and the style is dazzling.
However, Zhao Jiu was not in the mood to linger on those delicacies, and finally found Wen Mi in the chaotic crowd, only to see that she was sitting in the corner with her sleeves rolled up and choosing vegetables.
Zhao Jiu trotted over and patted Wen Mi's shoulder, showing a smile: "Mi Mi, long time no see, I have something to tell you, it's too noisy here, let's go out and talk." β
Wen Mi didn't seem to expect Zhao Jiu to come to her now, she was stunned, and then looked left and right, a few busy palace maids glanced at them, but there was no leisure to care about them, so she stood up and followed Zhao Jiu to the forest behind the tent.
Zhao Jiushen was mysterious, and his smile was bright: "You stretch out your hand." β
Wen Mi was stunned again, her hands that had just selected vegetables were still a little dirty, she secretly wiped them on her clothes, and then stretched out her hand.
Zhao Jiu quickly put the braided red rope on her wrist, Wen Mi suddenly widened in surprise, and immediately retracted his hand.
Zhao Jiu realized that he was still a man, and the ancients paid attention to whether men and women were intimate or not, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I don't want to take advantage of you, this red rope is made up by myself, today is your birthday, I wish you every year today, every year there is a present day." β
Wen Mi was already speechless with surprise, and looked at the red rope in his hand in a daze, although there were no tricks in the weaving, but there was a strong warmth in the simplicity, which made people feel warm.
But how did Zhao Jiu know her birthdate?
Wen Mi hadn't figured it out yet, but when she saw the agate beads on the red string, she recognized that it was exactly the same as the one that Zhao Jiu gave to Liu Sishan that day, so she hurriedly took off the red rope and wanted to return it to Zhao Jiu.
"I can't ask for this, it's too expensive."
Zhao Jiu put it back on her: "Do you think this is a real red bead agate?" Really, how could I give it to you, it's just an ordinary bead. β
Wen Mi was still skeptical: "But what you said to Liu Sishan that day was ......"
Zhao Jiu raised an eyebrow at her and smiled: "I lied to her that day." β
The smile was clean and pure, and Wen Mi's gaze seemed to be so attracted, and he couldn't take it off Zhao Jiu's face for a long time.
When Zhao Jiu saw that she was distracted, he pretended to be angry and said, "Do you think my thing is worthless?" They weren't worth much, but I made them up all night. β
"No, how could I dislike it......" Wen Mi hurriedly explained.
Zhao Jiu laughed again: "Do you know, although this thing is not as beautiful and valuable as the jade bracelet, but it belongs to the talisman, now I give you this blessing, you will have good luck in the future." β
Wen Mi's pupils moved slightly, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Zhao Jiu, why are you so good to me?" β
"Because we're good friends."
Zhao Jiu smiled and crooked, thinking that you are the heroine, I am not good to you, who is good, I still want to hug your thighs!
Wen Mi's nose was slightly sour, and Zhao Jiu gave her not only a gift, but also a gift for her birthday. It's been a long time since she's had a birthday, so long that she herself has forgotten when it was. No matter how Zhao Jiu knows, it's really nice to be remembered for his birthday.
"Thank you, Shojiu."
Zhao Jiu was about to cry when he saw that she was moved, and hurriedly said, "Oh, we are good friends, what do you say thank you for." If you do this again, I will make up another hundred for you and make you cry for a day. β
Wen Mi was amused by her, and looked up at her again: "Then your hand can't be wasted?" β
"Harm, I won't make it up if you laugh."
At this moment, Wen Mi let go of the only remaining defense against Zhao Jiu in his heart, this little pony's smile was clean and good-looking, and his heart must be kind.
She raised her hand again to look at the red rope on her wrist and quipped, "Isn't this bead really a red bead agate?" How could someone like Liu Sishan who is greedy and cheap admit the wrong baby? β
Zhao Jiu smiled: "If you feel that it is precious and you don't know how to pay it back, then you can do me a favor." β
Wen Mi smiled: "I was going to help you, let's say, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you." β
Only then did Zhao Jiu take out the bottle of poison in his arms, and said cautiously, "Can you help me change the medicine in this to a non-toxic one?" β
