After making the cake, Shen Ciwu deliberately added some careful thought to it, and decorated it with some seasonal fruits on it.

Looking at the finished product she made with her own hands, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

went to Sanfu in advance and conspired with him in private:

"Father-in-law Sanfu, I have prepared a birthday surprise for the emperor, but you have to cooperate with me."

"Yo, the emperor must know that you are so attentive to Young Lord Shen, you have to be very happy! Tell me, if there's anything you need to be a slave, just command. ”

Shen Ci smiled evilly, and Sanfu muttered about her plan.

After hearing this, Sanfu squeezed his eyebrows at her, "Little master, you can really play~~"

Li Mobai, who had been busy with government affairs for a day, only finished washing up and returned to his dormitory when he was approaching the child.

He kneaded his sore neck, looking at the empty candle-lit dormitory, he felt a little desolate.

Thinking that tomorrow was his birthday, Chaoyang Palace, Shang Shufang and even Jinluan Palace, I don't know how many people have to go to great lengths to please him, he feels a headache.

He drank all the soothing tea, and was about to extinguish the candle to sleep, when suddenly the familiar voice sounded in his head:

[Why doesn't he lie down?] Why don't you turn off the lights? Seeing that the time was about to come, he would have no chance to rub it any longer. 】

No chance?

Not much of a chance?

Looking around the dormitory, only people can be hidden in the wardrobe.

Li Mobai walked to the wardrobe with steps, ready to suddenly open the cabinet door to startle Shen Qi.

But as soon as he walked to the door of the closet, he heard Shen Ciwu muttering in his heart:

[It's too late! Whatever, he can't delay the auspicious time! 】

Shen Ciwu pushed the wardrobe door open with all his might, only to hear a 'bang', and the spread wooden door smashed on Li Mobai's face mercilessly, making him dizzy with Venus in his eyes.

"The Emperor...... Emperor? Seeing that he had caused a big disaster, Shen Ci hurriedly put the cake aside and stepped forward to check Li Mobai's injury.

The tip of Li Mobai's nose turned red, like a clown's rosacea.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Go away!" Li Mobai stumbled backwards, keeping a safe distance from Shen Ciwei, "Every time I see you, there is no good thing!" ”

He covered his nose, and tears broke out in the corners of his eyes because of the pain.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to ......"

"What are you doing hiding in my room in the middle of the night? Want to stab? ”

"No, no, no! The concubine is here to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and she originally wanted to surprise the emperor, who knew that you have a bed and don't sleep, so you have to stand in front of the wardrobe in a daze......"

The pain on his face eased a little, and Li Mobai waved the wide sleeves of his bedclothes, not angry and arrogant, "Is this still me?" I'm in my own dormitory, I can be wherever I want, and I have to get your approval? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare to ......" Shen Ci bowed his knees, and looked aggrieved with a small mouth, "But I really didn't mean to......"

This milky voice instantly swept away Li Mobai's anger.

Seeing her like this, she couldn't bear to scold her again, "That's it, I'm no wonder what ridiculous things have happened to you." You just said you were going to celebrate my birthday? ”

Shen Ciwu nodded, and Li Mobai sneered: "Heh, I can't even remember when my birthday is, who am I behaving for?" ”

"No, Your Majesty." Shen Ciwu pointed to the copper leak on the table, "It's the next day, isn't it the emperor's birthday?" ”

Seeing that the copper leak was about to arrive, Shen Ciwu hurriedly took the brocade box where the cake was placed.

Li Mobai subconsciously covered his face, "You...... What do you want to do? ”

Shen Ci couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, this is a gift I prepared for you." It's a cake I made myself, and I eat it on my hometown for my birthday. ”

She opened the brocade box as she spoke, and Li Mobai glanced at the brocade box.

I saw a round hair cake in the shape of something inside, the size of a small basin, and there were many fruit particles regularly placed on it, which looked quite appetizing.

It's just that!

What's the red berry jam in the middle of this thing??

'Joyful birthday'?

"For nothing?" Li Mobai's gaze wandered back and forth between Shen Ciwu and the cake, "What do you mean?" ”

"That's right." Shen Ciwu nodded innocently.

"You're bold." Li Mobai was amused and shy by this title, "No one has ever dared to call me like this." ”

"It's almost time!" Shen Ciwu put the cake on the table, took out a cloth bag that he was carrying, and after opening it, there were slender candles inside.

You need to blow out candles before eating cake and making wishes on your birthday, and a sense of ritual is a must!

In ancient times, there were no candles, so she used her ingenuity to melt the red candles used for lighting into wax oil, and then reshape them into elongated shapes.

She carefully placed the candles evenly on the cake, then took out the fire folds and lit them one by one.

This move stunned Li Mobai.

After all, he had never seen a modern birthday candle, he only felt that the slender things that Shen Ci was inserted in the cake looked more like incense.

And her series of operations don't look like she's celebrating her birthday, but the more she looks at it, the more she looks like she's going to her own grave......

"Did you put incense on the dead?"

"Phew!" Shen Ciwu slapped his mouth a few times very cutely, "On the emperor's birthday, you can't say such unlucky words." Look, it's almost time, the emperor make a wish and blow out the candles! Everyone in my hometown celebrates their birthdays like this, and the wish I made on my birthday is the most fulfilling! ”

Li Mobai refused in his heart, but he couldn't stand Shen Ciwei's repeated shouting, so he could only do it.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, Shen Ciwei's 'beautiful and beautiful' singing voice came from his ears:

“Happy Birthday to You，Happy......”

Huan, who was singing, saw Li Mobai looking at her with a caring and mentally handicapped look, Shen Ciwu hurriedly changed his words: "I'm sorry, I accidentally sang in dialect!" ”

She cleared her throat and continued: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~~ I wish you happiness, I wish you good health, I wish you a happy birthday~~"

She sang and clapped her hands, as if she had social cow B syndrome, and she was contented and immersed in her own world, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Seeing that she was so gracious, Li Mobai had no choice but to close his eyes and make a wish.

only made a wish, and he vaguely felt that something was not quite right:

[Why are the customs of people thousands of years later so strange? Celebrating a birthday, but using incense to people's graves, is not too unlucky? 】

[Wait...... What am I doing? Why should I listen to this crazy woman, obediently and obediently, close my eyes and make a wish? 】

[So, isn't it that I am putting myself on a grave? 】
