Lin Zhuohua pushed her to sit down at the table and poured him a glass of osmanthus wine.

"You sit down first, and I'll be back soon."

Li Zeyi moved the corners of his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, nodded and saw her leave.

Lin Zhuohua came out of the main house and went straight to the small kitchen.

Jade and Onyx were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw her come in, they immediately spoke.

"Miss, everything is ready."

Lin Zhuohua nodded, and then lifted the steamer. Because there is no oven, she can only make steamed cakes. Looking at the soft and glutinous cake base, the whole small kitchen is filled with a sweet milky fragrance.

Spread the prepared cream to the base of the cake and top it with various fruits. Soon a beautiful fruit cake was baked, and she was very happy with her cake.

Packed in a food box, he left the kitchenette with his hand, and stopped when he walked to the door.

"I'll send all the food over in a moment, and then you can go down and eat some rest."

"Yes, miss."

Lin Zhuohua returned to the house with the food box and saw him drinking osmanthus wine. Seeing her come in, his eyes fell on the food box she was carrying.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she walked over to place the food box on the table, and then took out the fruitcake inside. In an instant, the sweetness of the fruit and the milky aroma of the cake blend together, and the smell is indescribable.

"What is this?"

It was the first time he had seen such a strange treat, but it smelled good.

Lin Zhuohua took out the thin candle he had prepared before, rubbed it on the cake, and then lit it.

"I've read in an overseas travel book that people overseas eat this kind of birthday cake on their birthdays. They put candles on it, and then the birthday star promised that they could blow out the candles after wishing for it. Overseas people say that birthday wishes will come true. ”

Li Zeyi didn't know much about overseas, and from the previous life to the death of Jingguo, the sea line was completely open to overseas. In addition, the Jing family's business has reached overseas, and they often go in and out of the sea. Later, the crown prince ascended the throne and suppressed the Jing family, and later the Jing family gave up the business on Jingguo's side and moved their family overseas, which shows that the development of the Jing family overseas should also be good.

"Come, make a wish."

Under the burning gaze of the little girl, Li Zeyi slowly closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart. I hope that this campaign will end smoothly as soon as possible, and the little girl will be safe and happy in this life.

He slowly opened his eyes and blew out the candle.

Lin Zhuohua removed the candle, then took out a slender knife, cut a piece and put it on a plate and handed it to him. Then he cut a piece himself and said with a smile.

"Happy birthday."

When Li Zeyi heard this, his eyes became more and more gentle.

After taking a bite of this so-called fruit cake, it is soft in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and it is indeed delicious. Inevitably, he ate two more bites, and as if thinking of something, he put down the spoon in his hand.

"Where's my gift?"

Lin Zhuohua turned around and walked inside, and after a while, he came out with a slightly larger box with red silk tied into a beautiful knot.

"Your gift."

Li Zeyi took the box, opened it and saw that there were several small boxes inside, picked up a delicate red hollow box and opened it, and was slightly stunned when he saw the ring inside.

"This is the ring?"

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and took out his own one from his body.

"It's a pair of rings that I designed myself, and you gave me diamonds on them. Wearing a ring means that we are firmly together with each other in the future, and our feelings are stronger than this diamond. ”

Li Zeyi's heart was moved for a while, he took the box in Lin Zhuohua's hand, took out the ring and put it on her finger. Then hand your own to her and reach out your hand.

"You put it on for me."

Lin Zhuohua took the ring, hung his head slightly, picked up his slender hand, and carefully put the ring on.

As soon as she raised her head, she felt a tightness around her waist, and the whole person was pulled into his strong embrace by a force.

The cold lips pressed down, and the gentle kiss made her brain go blank. I just felt as if there was an electric current all over my body, crispy and numb.

Li Zeyi's heart was like a tinkering, and this slightly jerky kiss only lasted for a moment, and he let go of her.

Looking down at the little girl with red cheeks, her heart was a soft mess. He reached out and cupped her face, his eyes light affectionately and gently.

"I love your gift."

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and suppressed the irregular heartbeat. Her eyes were shining, and she smiled softly and sweetly at him.

"If you look at the other gifts, I've prepared several."

Li Zeyi read all the gifts, and held a hidden weapon made according to the exquisite bracelet in his hand.

"You keep this for self-preservation, and the medical valley will definitely not let go of the medical building easily. They don't know what to expect during my absence. ”

Lin Zhuohua pushed back: "Have you forgotten that I have a delicate bracelet?" This is the secret weapon I begged the fifth brother to make according to the Linglong bracelet, although it is not as powerful as the Linglong bracelet, but every silver needle in it is poisoned, and the lethality is also very great. ”

Li Zeyi didn't refuse, even if it wasn't for himself, for the sake of his little girl, he had to come back from the battlefield safely.

He touched her hair and said softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on your birthday this year." ”

Lin Zhuohua raised his hand with a smile when he heard this, and the blood-red hand on his white wrist was: "This should be my birthday gift this year." ”

Li Zeyi looked at the handpiece and didn't say anything, he had already planned to go to the battlefield last year. So this year's little girl's birthday gift, he has already prepared, just waiting for her birthday.

But in order to surprise her, he didn't plan to tell her.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Zhuohua knew that it was Jade and they had brought the food. Coming out of Li Zeyi's arms, she shouted outside.

"Come in."

The two of them put away the gifts, then watched Jade and Onyx walk in from behind the screen, put away the snacks on the table, set the meal and then withdrew.

Seeing that the table was full of dishes he liked to eat, Li Zeyi's heart became softer and softer. The two sat down, and the door was pushed open again. A person sat behind the screen, and then the gentle and shallow sound of the piano came out, gentle and quiet.

Li Zeyi looked at the little girl with crimson cheeks, knowing that she had carefully prepared all this for herself today. The soft color in his eyes is deep, and his good-looking thin lips move.

"I'm very happy today, it's the happiest of my birthday in so many years."

In previous years, his birthday was spent alone in his mother's bedroom, but this year is different, he has not had a decent birthday for a long time.

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I was very happy anyway.

A touch of distress flashed in Lin Zhuohua's eyes, no one could accept that his birthday was his mother's death day. I really don't know how he has lived this day for so many years.

"Every year in the future, I will accompany you."

After the two of them finished the meal, it was already dark.

Looking at their clasped hands, the diamonds on the ring fingers on the rings reflected dazzling in the bright moonlight.

"Let's go for a walk in the yard to eliminate food, I'm in a good mood today."

She touched her slightly swollen belly and smiled embarrassedly.

Li Zeyi looked at the little girl's crimson cheeks, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Well, let's go."

The two walked out of the house hand in hand, and Jade and Onyx, who were guarding the courtyard, saw them come out, glanced at their own miss, and when they saw her nodding to themselves, they quietly retreated.

Li Zeyi watched the small movements of several people, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that his little girl wanted the two of them to be alone, after all, he would go to the border with the army tomorrow. Eighth Library

Today's night sky is exceptionally beautiful, with stars shining brightly. The white moonlight sprinkled down, enveloping this quiet little courtyard.

The two walked slowly in the yard, and Li Zeyi asked in a low voice, "When did you buy this house?" ”

"It's been a while since I bought it, and the medical building is getting busier and busier now, and it's a matter of time before I recruit new doctors, and I'm going to live here for new doctors."

Li Zeyi smiled when he heard this: "The treatment of your medical building is really good, I heard that many doctors in the hospital who are old and are about to retire want to go to the medical building." ”

Lin Zhuohua's eyes lit up when he heard this, it would not be bad if the medical building could recruit the old lady who had retired from the palace.

"This is a good feeling, it seems that I ask when I teach those people on weekdays."

She still finds some time to teach the few doctors who are interested in her improved acupuncture, and the relationship is also very good. If the masters in the Guogong Mansion have any illness, several old doctors are willing to come and take a look.

Their medical skills are much better than those of ordinary imperial doctors, and they generally only see nobles with high positions in the palace.

"You're going to dig into the corner of the hospital."

Those old ladies had already thought of retiring, and if the little girl threw an olive branch, they would definitely take it happily.

When it came to Tai Hospital, Lin Zhuohua thought of Xue Zhen'er: "Tai Hospital has one more Imperial Doctor Xue?" ”

Li Zeyi nodded: "Well, I heard that the medical skills are good." My father seems to like this person quite a lot, and now he is also one of the few imperial doctors who see my father. ”

Lin Zhuohua was slightly surprised, didn't he expect this Xue Zhen'er's father to climb so fast?

However, it should be good to think about medical skills, otherwise it would be impossible for him to climb to such a position even if he had the support of the prince, and now there are princes among the imperial doctors who see the emperor, which is not very beneficial to Li Zeyi.

Seeing the little girl's thoughtful look, Li Zeyi stretched out his hand to smooth her slightly frowning brow.

"But what's wrong with Imperial Doctor Xue?"

"Then Imperial Physician Xue is Xue Zhen'er's father, and Xue Zhen'er will probably be included in the East Palace soon."

Li Zeyi was stunned, he really didn't notice this. If this is the case, the prince's hand is stretched out to the hospital. And it really made his people fall into the eyes of his father, which is not a good thing.

"Then Imperial Physician Xue is the prince's person?"

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Well, but I heard someone say before that Xue Zhen'er's family is a medical family." In terms of medical skills, he does have some skills, and it is not easy to get this person out of the Tai Hospital. ”

Li Zeyi hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, everyone will have weaknesses, as long as you find his Achilles' heel, you can take it in one fell swoop." There is no urgency in this matter, he has the least qualifications among the several imperial doctors commonly used by his father, and he will not be summoned often. ”

He still knows a lot about his father, and he will definitely check it carefully before using this person with confidence. Now he seems to be among the imperial doctors he is accustomed to, and he must have checked it.

That means that the prince did something to make his father not find out about his relationship with Imperial Doctor Xue, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to find a suitable time to mention it to his father, as long as his father has doubts in his heart, he will definitely re-verify, and then his people will prompt it.

However, Li Zeyi was not prepared to say these things to Lin Zhuohua, and his little girl didn't need to worry about these things.

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the time, looked sideways at the southwest corner of the courtyard, and nodded when she saw the jade. Emerald turned away willingly.

After only a short while, there were suddenly several explosions. The dark night sky is lit up with brilliant fireworks, one after another, like fireworks and silver flowers.

Li Zeyi looked at the fireworks that kept blooming in the night sky in a daze, and the emotions in his heart were complicated. Touched and a little speechless, this kind of fireworks trick is mostly used by men to make women happy.

But today he was coaxed by his own little girl with this kind of trick, although he was a little obedient, but he felt very happy in his heart.

"Thank you, Zhuohua."

Lin Zhuohua heard the sound of fireworks blooming in his ears, and vaguely seemed to hear his voice, looked sideways at him and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Li Zeyi shook his head, reached out to hug her slender waist, forcefully brought the person into his arms, and leaned into her ear: "I'm very happy today, Zhuohua." ”

The corners of Lin Zhuohua's mouth turned up, and he leaned his head in his arms: "It's good if you're happy." ”

The two embraced each other like this, looking at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and it took a long time for the fireworks to end.

"Tomorrow you have to leave for the border pass, it's not too early, let's go back."

Although Lin Zhuohua was a little reluctant in his heart, he still looked at him with a light smile.

Li Zeyi's hand around her slender waist tightened, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and nodded: "Well, let's go." ”

Li Zeyi put all the gifts that Lin Zhuohua gave him into the carriage, and then helped her into the carriage.

first sent Lin Zhuohua back to the Gongfu Mansion, looking at the little girl standing on the side of the carriage, there was a touch of helplessness in his eyes.

"It's still a little cold at night, don't get cold, let's go in."

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and raised his head, with a little reluctance in his dark phoenix eyes: "You must pay attention to safety and come back safely." ”

Li Zeyi smiled lightly and touched her head: "Okay, I promise you that you will come back safely." Don't go to see you off tomorrow, lest you be sad because of parting. ”

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before nodding: "Well, I know." ”

Looking at the little girl's somewhat lonely back, he resisted the urge to step forward and hug her, knowing that her figure disappeared at the gate, he turned around and got into the carriage and left.

The next day, the sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and Li Zeyi and Feng Da Commander had already left Shangshangjing.

Jade and Onyx looked at the young lady sitting in front of the window, with a little worry in their eyes. Early this morning, before dawn, the young lady sat here. Don't speak, just look outside.

Miss, the slaves and maids will serve you to make up, and then after breakfast, you will go to the old lady's Ning Shouyuan to say goodbye.

Lin Zhuohua lowered his eyes slightly, covering the reluctance in his eyes. Slowly got up, and said, "Well, wait for me to wash." ”

After washing and dressing, breakfast was also placed on the table. Looking at the breakfast that was more exquisite and rich than before, Lin Zhuohua knew that this was jade, and they were afraid that they would be sad and in no mood to eat.

She cheered up and a smile appeared on her face: "There are my favorite crystal buns and shrimp dumplings, and I will definitely eat more today." ”

Seeing that the young lady had eaten a lot of breakfast, she also returned to her usual liveliness. Jade and Onyx were relieved, and happily packed up their things and accompanied their young lady to the old lady's side to say goodbye.

When Lin Zhuohua arrived at Ning Shouyuan, she still walked in with a cheerful smile on her face.

"Grandmother, granddaughter has come to greet you."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter's face and was okay, but her eyes were slightly blue, and she sighed in her heart, but her face was full of love.

"Come and sit next to Grandmother, and your second and third aunts will come over in a while."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and then saw Mrs. Lin and the two concubines come over to greet the old lady.

After sitting down, the second lady Gu Zhen said with a smile on her face: "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law asked Cheng Xi what her impression of the Li family girl was, and he said that everything was up to her daughter-in-law, and she liked it. I just don't know what the Queen Mother's impression of Chengxi is. ”

The old lady showed joy on her face when she heard this: "This is not a difficult matter, the Queen Mother will call me into the palace to talk in two days, and I can help ask." If the Li family doesn't have any opinions, then they can come to the door to propose. ”

"Then I'm going to have to bother my mother." The joy on the second lady's face can't be stopped, she has a total of three sons, and now the second and third have been booked, and the eldest son is missing, but thinking of the eldest son's temperament, it is not an obedient person, he can only find it himself.

The old lady was also in a good mood: "I can see that they are all settled, and it is worth being tired." ”

Lin Zhuohua tilted his head and watched them chatting, thinking of Li Zhixue, he smiled slightly and said: "The girl of the Li family looks like a lively character, and it is quite suitable to be with the third brother." ”

The old lady looked at Lin Zhuohua and thought that Miss Li seemed to be chatting with her that day.

"I look at you, I like her."

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Well, Miss Li is lively and has no scheming, and she is very comfortable to make friends." ”

"After that, I will move around more, I heard the Queen Mother say that Miss Li has just returned to Beijing, and she doesn't have any friends here, if you have nothing to do, you can play more together."

The old lady remembered that King Yi and Commander Feng left Shangjing today, and she was afraid that her granddaughter would be in a bad mood, so she would evacuate and evacuate if she went out and walked around more.

Lin Zhuohua didn't refuse, and just as he was about to leave, he saw the housekeeper running in in a hurry.

"Old lady, the maid next to Miss Li sent a post."

The old lady took the post and glanced at it, then looked at Lin Zhuohua and said, "Miss Li is coming in a while, you can entertain it." ”
