Situ Qianchen's birthday is approaching day by day, and all the preparations for Ling Jiantong have been done very sufficiently, just waiting for that day to show his skills.

However, there is one thing, in order to avoid making jokes on the spot, she had better find a "guinea pig" to do some experiments earlier.

"Hey, have you arrived?"

"No, you go straight ahead, and you'll be there in a moment."

"Straight?" He muttered in wonder, but the steps under his feet became smaller and smaller, for fear of falling into some trap.

"Why are you so slow? Turtles crawl faster than you. Ling Jiantong, who was standing at the stone table, couldn't bear it, so he simply took two or three steps to Mu Jinghong, who was blindfolded, grabbed his sleeve, and brought him to the stone table.

"Why are you so cowardly, an old man?" Ling Jiantong couldn't help but complain, she didn't even have that little bit of excitement.

Mu Jinghong tilted his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, I don't have long eyes on the top of my head, how do I know, will you be playing tricks and deliberately messing with me, of course I have to be careful, this strip of cloth can be taken down, right?" ”

"No way!" Ling Jiantong stopped his hand and exclaimed, for fear that he would see this surprise in advance.

"What the hell? Can't you say it now? Mu Jinghong's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, a little impatient.

Ling Jiantong didn't answer his words, but there was a "rubbing" sound in his ears, isn't this a flint? What the hell is this girl going to do?

Mu Jinghong was thinking about it, but he didn't think about it, the darkness in front of him suddenly shot into a light, this discomfort couldn't help but make him squint his eyes, and when he got used to it, he saw that it was a red candle, so what was white underneath?

Mu Jinghong sat down curiously, reached out and touched the white layer, only to find that it could be recessed and stuck to his hand like a paste.

"Eyes, what is this? Are you newly invented candlesticks? Mu Jinghong asked, holding his index finger stained with a white sticky paste.

Ling Jiantong smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "What candlestick, you are really earthy, this is obviously a cake." ”

"Cake?" The word is fresh.

Ling Jiantong cut a piece with a knife, put it in front of Mu Jinghong, and gestured: "You taste it, this is our specialty, it is very delicious." ”

Mu Jinghong was a little unbelievable, after all, it was the first time he had seen it in his life, he tentatively dug a little bit and put it in his mouth, and suddenly the sweet taste overflowed his mouth, slippery and a little cold, and the aftertaste was endless.

"How? Is it tasty? Ling Jiantong leaned down and asked with wide eyes.

Mu Jinghong nodded while eating: "Yes, what is this called...... Egg ......"

"It's cake."

"Yes, this cake is better than the dim sum made in the palace, eyes, how did you make this?" Mu Jinghong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop talking at all.

Ling Jiantong pretended to be mysterious and smiled slightly: "It's a secret. ”

This cake is delicious and can't stop at all, Mu Jinghong ate the small piece of cake in front of him after a while, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, and then cast his eyes on the big cake in the center of the stone table, just about to stretch out his hand, he was suddenly hit by the chopsticks to hit his fingers.

Mu Jinghong was in pain, retracted his fingers, and said aggrievedly: "Eyes, you tied me here and didn't let me eat enough, where in the world is there such hospitality?" ”

Ling Jiantong didn't care about this, she happily wrapped the cake in paper, and slowly explained: "This cake is not made for you to eat, but it is just for you to taste, you don't have to inch in." ”

Mu Jinghong's narrow eyes were half-narrowed, and he said tentatively: "Isn't this cake for me to eat?" Is it dedicated to the second brother? ”

At the mention of Situ Qianchen, Ling Jiantong's whole face could be smiling, and she didn't deny it: "Yes, the cake cake can only be eaten on your birthday, and you haven't had a birthday, why should you eat this cake." ”

You can only eat cake on your birthday.

Mu Jinghong seemed to suddenly remember something, stepped forward and covered Ling Jiantong's hand, and said seriously: "This is what you made for the second brother, I won't rob it, then the next time I celebrate my birthday, eyes, will you also make a cake for me to eat?" ”

His eyes were bright and sparkling, as if everything in the world was contained in this pair of expectations.

Ling Jiantong was silent for a long time, then turned around and said, "Wait until your birthday." ”

The empty hand was awkwardly frozen in mid-air, Ling Jiantong had already walked away with the cake, and gradually even disappeared, Mu Jinghong didn't know why, he suddenly felt a burst of emptiness in his heart, not uncomfortable, but very uncomfortable.

On the day of Situ Qianchen's birthday, the entire town and country mansion were jubilant, as if the house was going to do a happy event, and the people in the capital all took congratulatory gifts and came to congratulate Situ Qianchen on his birthday.

Among them, Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai are naturally indispensable, they put down the gifts, and the housekeeper Fukang greeted them: "Seventh Prince, Ye Daxia, the second master is receiving guests in the hall at this time, why don't you take you there?" ”

Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai looked at each other and smiled very tacitly, almost shaking their heads and waving their hands together.

Situ Qianchen's most annoying thing in his life is socializing, seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, if Mu Jinghong and Ye Zhengbai go, Situ Qianchen will probably find a reason, take the opportunity to sneak out of the hall, and hand over all the mess to them to answer.

As a general of a country, it is not good to be too maverick, and it is better for him to have more contact with the government than to wield knives and guns.

If you want to say that the busiest person in this town and government is Situ Qianchen who is trapped in the hall, then it is Ling Jiantong, who is in charge of the overall situation.

The guests who came to congratulate the birthday were almost there, and the singing on the stage was coming to an end, and it was almost noon, and the guests should be seated and ready to eat.

The kitchen of the Zhenguo Mansion was full of smoke, and from a distance it looked like it was about to catch fire.

The chef in charge of the spoon is a fat man, but the cooking skills are a fight with the imperial chef in the palace, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything is under his iron pot, a few rolls, a few times to turn the spoon, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are added, and the pot can be sent to the courtyard with steaming steam.

There are more than a dozen tables of feasts in the courtyard, which is really lively.

The wine and food were served, and before everyone could move their chopsticks, they suddenly heard two shouts outside the door of the house.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, here!"

"Fourth Prince, here!"

The banquet, which was originally lively, became quiet and abnormal in an instant, and the two of them were just fighting in the court, why did they fight to the Zhenguo Mansion today?

As the hosts, Situ Qianchen and Situ Qiannan could only get up helplessly out of politeness and went to the gate of the mansion to greet them.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw the carriage of the crown prince Mu Luo and the carriage of the fourth prince Mu Zhen, parked in the middle of the street with great fanfare, and more than a dozen subordinates standing behind each of them, each holding a congratulatory gift covered with red cloth, had already begun to compete secretly before entering the mansion.

Prince Mu Luo walked up to Mu Zhen with his crown princess and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't come unharmed, hey, today is General Zhaoyi's birthday, why don't you see your younger siblings coming?" ”

This "brother and sister" exit suddenly made the faces of the people standing at the gate of the mansion darken, and they involuntarily cast their eyes on Situ Qianchen who was standing at the front, but Situ Qianchen's face was still unfazed, and he couldn't see any ups and downs.

Mu Zhen chuckled, walked to the side of the carriage, and stretched out her hand to open the curtain: "On such an occasion, how could this king not bring the princess here?" ”

A white and slender little hand stretched out from the carriage and gently landed on Mu Zhen's palm, and then, the four princesses slowly stepped out of the carriage with Mu Zhen's support.

With generous manners and dignified manners, she is worthy of Meng Xueyuan, who is known as the first talented woman in Tianyuan Country.

Meng Xueyuan raised her eyes and inadvertently saw Situ Qianchen standing at the gate of the mansion, he was still so cold, and the knife-like silhouette set off him even more cold and arrogant and resolute.

Back then, everyone knew that Meng Xueyuan, the first talented woman in Tianyuan Kingdom, and Situ Qianchen of Zhenguo Mansion were childhood sweethearts, and the two stood together that was a match made in heaven, and the talented girl was not a good match, but who would have thought that when Situ Qianchen went to Mengfu to propose marriage, Meng Xueyuan refused, and married to the Four Princes Mansion the day after tomorrow and became the four princesses.

Those days were the hardest and most difficult period in Zhenguofu, and everyone said that Meng Xueyuan was in order not to live a hard life with Situ Qianchen, so she gave up her former lover and turned to the arms of the four princes.

Mu Zhen took Meng Xueyuan's hand, slowly walked up the steps, and stood in front of Situ Qianchen.

"General Zhaoyi, this is a congratulatory gift carefully selected by this king, I don't know if you are satisfied?"

The subordinates of the Four Princes' Mansion put the congratulatory gifts on the table one after another, but Situ Qianchen's eyes never left Meng Xueyuan, and he replied in a cold tone: "Satisfied, the congratulatory gifts given by the Four Princes are naturally the best treasures in this world, how can I be dissatisfied?" ”

Mu Zhen smiled proudly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, General Zhaoyi is more and more able to speak." ”

Mu Luo and his subordinates had already walked to his side, glanced at the proud Mu Zhen, and chuckled: "Fourth brother, you will be mistaken, I think General Zhaoyi is not satisfied with those treasures, but someone else." ”

There was something to say in these words, Mu Jinghong reminded Situ Qianchen to poke Situ Qianchen's waist with a folding fan, but Situ Qianchen's eyes were like nails, and they had been placed on Meng Xueyuan's body, and they couldn't leave it.

Meng Xueyuan kept her head down, and there was nothing on her face except shame.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mu Jinghong came out and started the original scene: "Since the prince and the fourth brother are here, then let's not stand outside and talk, the wine and food have been served, everyone should not stand, let's go in." ”
