Yue Lin stroked the green beard and sighed: "It seems that Zhiyun has really grown up, and this time the answer is finally correct." It seems that you have quit your impatience, in this case, the teacher will accept you as an apprentice, may you be enlightened, famous, safe and smooth, no wind and no waves. ”

Zhaohua immediately ordered someone to take the tea, personally served it to Yue Lin, and kowtowed to him respectfully three times and said: "Master Xie is complete, after the apprentice learns martial arts, he will definitely keep to himself, and never cause more trouble, if he can share his father's worries and serve the country, he will not retreat, and he will never fall into the prestige of the master!"

Yue Lin mixed her up, and explained a few words to her, since then he followed Yue Lin to practice, and asked her father to get a light and sharp sword, smelling the chicken and dancing, day after day, Gu Wang Ye watched her practice the sword and sighed to Yue Lin: "Her mother once hoped that she would be safe and smooth in the future, so I hope that she can keep her mind at ease, learn to be a good female worker, and marry an ordinary family in the future to live a good life, but now in this world, I am afraid that there will be no peaceful birthday." Yue Lin said: "Yun'er is a good child, even if the future is not smooth, she can deal with it herself." ”

Gu Wang Ye smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Yes, she has to learn to deal with it herself." ”

The sixth day of the first month of April is Zhaohua's birthday, and today is the early morning of the sixth day of the fourth month.

Mama persuaded: "Today, many people come to celebrate the birthday of the county lord, so the county lord will practice for a while, so as not to sweat a whole body, and have to re-freshen up, which will snub the guests."

Zhaohua said with a smile: "No, the guests are taken care of by servants, and the people I personally invited are all intimate sisters, there is nothing to be cautious between me and them, and the rest are the petty officials in front of my father, and my father and housekeeper will take care of them, and the master said that I have improved a lot recently, but I can't delay my efforts because of a birthday."

Mama smiled: "The county lord loves to be lively since he was a child, every year on your birthday, he always gets up before dawn when he is happy, starts to dress up, runs all over the yard, and now he ......"

"Oh grandma, don't talk about what happened when I was a child, what a shame, I'm ...... this year I'm seventeen years old! How can it still be like when I was a child. ”

After saying that, he ran out to find Yue Lin.

Zhaohua originally planned to move her muscles and bones before breakfast, rest for a while after breakfast, and change her clothes to meet guests after practicing until she was in the past, but as soon as she became a servant, a maidservant girl came to call her, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to celebrate the girl's birthday with a generous gift, and asked the girl to meet her. ”

When Zhaohua heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Why is he here again!" Come and give it to me...... Birthday? ”

"Yes, County Lord!"

At this moment, although Zhaohua was worried in his heart, he still said goodbye to his master and promised to make up classes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so he hurriedly went.

She didn't follow the maid directly, but first asked the maid to tell the grandmother, prepare first, and she would go to them later. So the maid left, and she secretly went to the kitchen to find Zhou Wenlian.

Zhou Wenlian was washing vegetables, and when he saw her suddenly appear, he said to him: "Xiao Zhou, I have something to tell you, you can come here." She pretended to be very calm, all in the tone of a county lord ordering a slave, Zhou Wenlian went with her, and in a place where no one was around, Zhaohua completely relaxed, and said with a panicked expression: "Zhou Wenlian, the prince came to celebrate my birthday, you say, is he still here because he has affection for me this time?" I...... What should I do? ”

Zhou Wenlian is very proud that there are others begging for him, the purpose of his coming to the Gu Wangfu is not known, the Gu Wangye is very careful, even the old servants in the family, the personal eunuchs often do not open their arms, because anyone may be bribed by Luan Chengxiang, so he came, everyone thought that he was a person who could cook, but he would only steam steamed buns, Gu Wangfu's family style was good, but no one would bully him, but many people often laughed at him, his steamed buns, the cooks in the house tasted it, and they all said that it was mediocre, He also said that the county lord just liked to eat because he hadn't eaten it, but in fact he didn't have any skills.

Zhou Wenlian was angry in his heart, he was a scholar, if he hadn't provoked Prime Minister Luan at the beginning and disdained to be an official, he would only be able to replace Prime Minister Luan in the future, it was a matter of time, but now here, it seems that he will only sell steamed buns.

When he came here for a while, Gu Wangye didn't have anything important to do for him, most of the time he spent in the palace, occasionally going out of the city to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms in the suburbs. Because only Gu Wangye and Zhaohua eat her buns in the entire palace, the demand is not large, and he doesn't need anyone to help him every time he goes to find wild vegetables, so he has the opportunity to dig wild vegetables and go to the outskirts of the city to help Gu Wangye collect a few dens of Yiren spies.

According to Gu Wangye's explanation, he became friends with them. He is very good at chatting, and he can see who the other party is in a few words, he talks to people when he meets people, he talks nonsense when he meets ghosts, he talks to you about wine when he sees that you like to drink, he talks to you about meat, he talks about meat with you, he pulls things around, and helps Gu Wang Ye screen and determine several dens, and there is nothing else.

He has always boasted that he has some skills, but he can't get the recognition of the people around him, and he can only pretend to be stupid every day, which is really a little depressed. Seeing her anxious face, she deliberately joked with her: "Oh, your birthday, such a big event, what's so strange about the prince coming to celebrate your birthday?" ”

Zhao Hua twisted his arm and said, "What's so strange?" Are you still talking about human words? You obviously know that I don't want to marry him, and it's obvious that Queen Luan is annoying me, and you also ordered the prince not to come to see me, and you still think about finding trouble for him every day, and take him away...... I...... I did it step by step according to your idea, and you taught me the trick of retreating as advancing, and now that the prince is serious, Queen Luan can't beat him! It's all over now, you're still talking here, do you have a conscience! ”

Zhou Wenlian said: "Okay, okay, look at you, you are also the county lord, how can you nag it and it won't end!" I also use my hands and feet. I was brought here by your father, how can there be a reason why my niece is in trouble and my uncle doesn't care? Either way, for your father's sake, I'll help you...... But then again, your father is just as smart and powerful, and with your father in front of you, why are you coming to me! ”

Zhaohua was stunned, and he couldn't say why he was afraid to come to him instead of his father. "Probably because he was the one who came up with the idea from the beginning to the end," she thought, she habitually came to him. In order to repay Zhou Wenlian's revenge for teasing her, she gave him a blank look and said: "My father is different from you, my father is a righteous gentleman, and he can't deal with these villains in the Luan family, you have the most ghost ideas, and you are more villain than a villain." ”

Zhou Wenlian smiled instead of being angry: "Thank you for the compliment, you go to dress up first, I'll change my clothes, and follow you to the front hall in a while." Don't panic first, it may not be that you still have affection for you, maybe it's just following the habits of previous years to celebrate your birthday, do you really think that someone will die for you? is the crown prince, and the princess he married will be the queen of the world in the future, you? Mother of the world? Hehe! ”

Zhaohua waited for him angrily, and hurriedly said: "You really owe it, you don't deserve to marry a daughter-in-law!" Today, the county lord is too lazy to quarrel with you, I have to go back quickly, you remember to go in a while, and when you see that the situation is not good, give me a look to remind me. ”

Zhaohua said that he couldn't wait to leave, and Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "Continue to pretend to be stupid and coquettish, blame him for not coming to see you, and do a full set of plays so as not to make him suspicious!" ”

"Okay, got it!" Zhaohua agreed, and ran away like a gust of wind.

Zhou Wenlian rolled up his sleeves and saw that the place that had just been twisted by Zhaohua was already green, so he said with disgust: "People are so beautiful, it's really dark!" ”

Zhaohua ran back and forth sweating, after going back, the maid hurriedly helped her change her clothes and freshen up, Mama knew that the prince was coming, and hurriedly pressed her into the bucket to take a bath, wiped the pollen rouge, made it fragrant, pulled her hair in a bun and put it on, put on a long skirt of lotus, light yellow moire delphinium coat, decorated exquisite and gorgeous.

Zhaohua looked left and right in the mirror and asked everyone, "Is it good-looking?" The maidservant and the grandmother both laughed and said, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Zhaohua said with a sullen face: "Very good!"

When even the momentum led a group of girls to the front hall.

Zhaohua's steps were extremely fast, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word along the way, and the servants who followed him also felt worried. In the front hall, the prince had been personally entertained by Prince Gu and sat down, and the rest of the guests did not dare to bother here, so they all followed the housekeeper to eat tea and chat elsewhere.

In the front hall, the prince's entourage and the servants of the Gu Wangfu stood in a room, and the prince appeared in the front hall in a newly made civilian dress and in good spirits. The prince's entourage held the gift for Zhaohua and stood in two rows, saying that this was a gift from Queen Luan to Zhaohua, and it must be handed over to Zhaohua in person, so it was not good for Prince Gu to accept it on behalf of Zhaohua first, and the entourage stood straight for an hour, motionless.

Finally survived until Zhaohua came over, the prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up and said, "Sister Yun......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that today's Zhaohua was exceptionally beautiful, but his expression was also extraordinarily strange. Although she was smiling, between her eyebrows and eyes, it was all provocative.

"Zhaohua greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" She bowed to him dignifiedly, and the prince said, "Why is Sister Yun so polite!" ”

Zhaohua said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, call me Zhaohua, otherwise it will be uncourteous." Today, the prince came to congratulate me on my birthday, which really made the little woman honestly afraid, and the little woman couldn't stand your voice 'Sister Yun!' ’”

The prince frowned slightly and said: "I came today, I came with the intention of the queen mother, today in front of you, I am not the prince, I am Changhan, how can I not stand it?" Sister Yun, I was too busy a while ago, and I neglected you, but today I came to make amends to you, you hate me and hate me, I have no complaints, but you can't even give my mother's face, right? ”
