Chapter 19: Happy Birthday
The Zhaoxian Hall shrouded in night is quiet and deep.
Lu Cichuan leaned lightly under the vermilion beams and pillars of the side hall, waiting for Dongfang Han's so-called "surprise".
It was past the hour, but I didn't see a shadow of the man. Lu Cichuan laughed to himself, he was so stupid that he actually believed her nonsense.
"Master, there's something strange to say......"
Yun Feng walked to Lu Cichuan's side with a complicated expression.
Without waiting for Yun Feng to continue, Nanyin appeared in the side hall.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Your Majesty invites you to the back garden."
Lu Cichuan said to Yun Feng: "What is the matter until the king comes back." Then he followed Nanyin and left.
Leaving Yunfeng alone to stop in place awkwardly.
"I found that the prince has changed a lot these days." Jing Hong leaned over.
Yun Feng looked at the direction in which his master left, and helplessly crossed his shoulders: "I have a hunch...... Something is not good......"
……
When Lu Cichuan came to the back garden, he saw that Dongfang Han was already waiting for him in the octagonal pavilion.
Around the pavilion, lotus lanterns are lit, which are connected into a brilliant and bright one, like a sea of stars rising and falling in the middle of the night.
Dongfang Han stood in the pavilion, the soft light and shadow sprinkled on her graceful body, she lightly opened her lips to reveal two rows of neat snow-white teeth, gentle and beautiful.
Lu Cichuan was in a trance for a moment.
"Your Highness, come quickly!"
The girl beckoned to him.
Lu Cichuan's eyes moved slightly, but he still had that cold face.
"What the hell are you up to?"
As he spoke, Lu Cichuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the stone table, where there was a noodle dish in a plain porcelain bowl.
He twisted his eyebrows in confusion: "What does this mean?" ”
Dongfang Han Yingying smiled, reached out and grabbed his arm, dragged the person who was stiff over, and sat down in front of the stone table.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Happy Birthday!"
Suddenly, Lu Cichuan was stunned, his heart also contracted at that moment, and the woman's delicate and sweet voice echoed in his mind for a long time.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Happy Birthday......
Yes, it's his birthday, and no one remembers, not even himself.
But Dongfang Han actually knew.
"What is Your Highness thinking? Eat longevity noodles quickly, otherwise it won't taste good for a while. ”
Dongfang Han sat beside him and stuffed the chopsticks into his hand, "The birthday star eats noodles!" ”
Lu Cichuan looked at her, and countless emotions surged up in his deep eyes like a cold pool, complex and subtle.
Picking up a piece of noodles and putting it in his mouth and chewing it slowly, he couldn't help but pull his lips and smile.
Seeing this, Dongfang Han frowned and asked, "What?" Not tasty? ”
"No, it's delicious." Lu Cichuan replied.
Dongfang Han breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought His Highness didn't like it." ”
"Your Majesty did it himself?"
Dongfang Han nodded: "Of course!" Seeing his suspicion, he said, "In the fifteen years of the Huizhou Palace, if I hadn't learned to cook by myself, I would have starved to death." ”
Lu Cichuan somehow, hearing her words, his heart was filled with a sourness.
He actually saw the shadow of his childhood on Dongfang Han's body...... The young child, who was crowned as the son of the king of sin from birth, lived a humble and difficult life in the exile of Lingnan.
Dongfang Han saw the mist in his eyes, and his heart was overjoyed...... Lu Cichuan's ice cube was finally moved by himself!
It turns out that only a bowl of noodles is needed to melt the ice.
Dongfang Han took advantage of the victory to pursue, she picked up the brocade box at her feet and placed it in front of Lu Cichuan's eyes.
"The surprises aren't over yet! I have also prepared a birthday gift, so let's take it apart and take a look! ”
Dongfang Han's smiling apricot eyes were full of expectation.
Lu Cichuan stared at the brocade box, feeling that his mood was very delicate at the moment.
Twenty-six years later, he received his first birthday gift.
Open the brocade box, there is a folding fan lying inside, with the snow jade of the Tianshan Mountains as the bone, and the fan surface is embroidered with a magnificent picture of the rising sun mountains and rivers.
He recognized it at a glance as a crown gift from his grandfather, Emperor Chenzong, to his father. It's just that later his father was beheaded by Emperor Shunyuan for the crime of rebellion, and all the palaces of the Chu Dynasty were copied, so I don't know where this thing went.
"Where did you find it?" Lu Cichuan's eyes lit up.
Dongfang Han said: "Your Highness, do you remember that one day you came to my dormitory and found that I was not there. At the time, I lied to you that I was going out for a walk, but I didn'......"
The corner of her mouth smiled, and she clicked the folding fan: "Han'er knows that this fan is of great significance to the Chu Palace, and when I heard that it was in the Shen State Mansion, I visited the Father of the Kingdom and asked for it." ”
It turned out that she had a secret meeting with Shen Guogong that night for this folding fan......
He thought she had something else in mind.
Lu Cichuan felt a sense of self-blame in his heart, and secretly said: It seems that this king is wrong to blame her......
