The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 359 Birthday Banquet

At this moment when the night was extraordinarily gentle, Xiao Yu was dazzled by this smile.

The spring breeze blew slightly, lifting a little bit of her hair on the sideburns.It also touched her heart.

Han Yi glanced at Junrong, then at Xiao Yu, but said nothing.

After stopping for a while, Xiao Yu still walked towards the carriage.

Jun Rong stretched out his hand from the carriage, with gentle eyes, "Come, I'll help you."

Xiao Yu glanced at his hand, the light from a distance fell over, and Jun Rong's hand was white and slender. She didn't notice it before, but now she stretched out her hand to compare, and suddenly realized that Jun Rong's hand was bigger than his. I have grown up a lot.

"Huh?" Seeing that she was standing still, Jun Rong gently hooked her fingers.

Xiao Yu came back to his senses and put his hand on it, Jun Rong immediately clenched it tightly and pulled her up.

When he let go, he squeezed reluctantly.

Xiao Yu has long been used to Jun Rong's ambiguous little actions.

Maybe it's not ambiguous, Jun Rong just likes to have physical contact with her, and she has been like this since she was a child.

"Why did you remember to pick me up?" Xiao Yu calmly sat opposite Jun Rong.

Jun Rong glanced at Han Yi who was following up, and said to him, "Sit outside with Lan Yi."

Han Yi didn't say anything, and glanced at the driver, who raised his head and revealed a pair of familiar eyes, "Boss."

Han Yi nodded at him, and sat down beside him.

Jun Rong put down the curtain of the carriage, and then said to Xiao Yu: "I have nothing to do, thinking that you may not have a good time in the palace, so I want to come pick you up."

He took the teacup from the low table in the carriage and poured Xiao Yu a cup of tea, and handed it to her, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Xiao Yu reached out to take the teacup and held it in the palm of his hand: "I didn't ask anything, you know the temper of the old princess."

"Forget it if you can't ask. At worst, the soldiers will come and cover them up. Even if they want to do something, they have to look at the [-] troops in your hand."

"I understand, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart. I can't tell where this premonition came from. After meeting the old princess, this premonition became stronger."

Looking at Xiao Yu's frowning and pensive look, Jun Rong sighed helplessly, and put his hand on her brow.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at him puzzled.

Jun Rong smiled slightly, "Don't think about it, let's talk about it when we go home, my birthday will be in two days, what gift do you plan to give me this year?"

It was fine if he didn't ask, but when Xiao Yu asked, he suddenly remembered that he forgot about it and didn't prepare a gift for him at all.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Jun Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you not prepared for anything?"

Xiao Yu put down the teacup and held his hand, smiling softly, "Isn't this too busy? Just forget about it, why don't you tell me what you want, I don't think I'll have time to give it to you Prepare?"

"What do I want?" Jun Rong looked at her amusedly.

The things I want most are right in front of me.

He didn't say this, but his eyes were undisguisedly enthusiastic, Xiao Yu didn't hide this time, just looked at him like this.

Jun Rong hesitated and said: "Forget it, there are still many, many birthdays, I forgot this year, just make up for it next year, but I still want to eat longevity noodles made by you, so I can't forget this."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you tonight."

……

After going back to take a good bath at night, Xiao Yu sat beside the bed in a white undershirt, and touched her heart silently.

Reason can deceive itself, but a heartbeat cannot.

"Some things, some people, if you can't avoid it, maybe you can try to accept it..."

Xiao Yu smiled after thinking it through, and lay back on the soft bed. She didn't dream that night, and Hua Ye didn't bother her.

It's rare to sleep peacefully until dawn, but there is only one day to be safe, although Jun Rong doesn't plan to make a fuss, but what should be prepared is still to be prepared.

The Minister of Rites and the servant entered the palace several times, Jun Rong and Xiao Yu were too busy to see them, and had no time to think about other things.

In just two days, it is fleeting.

……

On the morning of the fourth day of April, Jun Rong got up, dressed and washed.

According to the usual practice, I first went to the harem with Xiao Yu, and greeted the Queen Mother and the others.

At noon, I reviewed the papers for a while and had a meal with Xiao Yu.

After noon, the palace began to formally prepare for the dinner.

……

Ding Guogong sat in his study, looking at the note just delivered, with a slightly condensed expression.

This piece of paper suddenly appeared in his study, and he saw it when he came.

He called all the servants and questioned each of them without finding out who put it there. They all said they didn't know and no one had been there, but this piece of paper appeared on his desk out of thin air.

He dismissed the servants and locked himself in the study, staring at this piece of paper in a daze.

He has already read the content on the paper, and it is precisely because of this that he is in a dilemma.

"Who the hell is it? Could it be Xiao Yu?" Dingguo muttered to himself, then shook his head, denying his guess, "No, it won't do her any good, if it happens, he will be ruined , being reviled by thousands of people, the loss outweighs the gain.”

"But apart from him, looking at the whole of Kyoto, who else has such mysterious power?"

Ding Guogong was puzzled, he picked up the note on the table and read it again, his face gradually became gloomy.

His eyes flickered, and he got up after a while, grabbed the paper and tore it up, lit the torch and burned the shredded paper.

"Come to prepare the car, I'm going to the Prince Regent's Mansion—"

……

The undercurrent under the festive and peaceful appearance began to surge, and the invisible hand was wantonly fueling the flames. This night was destined to be a sleepless night.

The auspicious time has come, and all officials and their families enter the palace to celebrate Junrong's birthday.

This time the banquet was still held in the Xiefang Hall, but this time there were no colorful silks or red silks, and only a few palace lanterns were simply hung.

The furnishings in the hall have also been reduced by half, making it look empty.

"Your Majesty's birthday celebration this year is really simple."

"Didn't there be a snowstorm in Suizhou this year? Your Majesty is saving money for the treasury."

"I heard that the disaster victims in Suizhou have been appeased, and the border has also stabilized. The regent has contributed a lot."

"Although that is the case, he is already an extremely human minister and cannot be sealed anymore, right?"

……

The officials gathered together, in twos and threes, and whispered to each other.

However, when Ding Guogong and Ning Guogong appeared together, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

These two people have always been at odds, why did they come together today?
"Dinggong, let's take a seat." Ningguo made a gesture of invitation, Dingguo glanced at him, smiled and nodded.

"What's the matter with them?"

"I don't know, when did you shake hands and make peace?"

"Wait, who do you think that is?!"

Someone exclaimed and pointed to the direction outside the palace door, and everyone looked at it one after another, only to see the old concubine walking in dignifiedly, holding the maidservant's hand.
