She put down the jade pendant and told Li Mingji: "All these, take them to the warehouse."

Li Mingji said hello.

Shu Yao was quickly called away by the palace servants. He picked up the long brocade box, sneered, pressed it at the bottom of the gift, and called the palace servants over: "These will be transported to the princess' mansion later."

It was not until the evening that this lively birthday ceremony ended.Emperor Yong is using his actions to tell these dignitaries in the capital that Princess Huaxi is getting more and more favored every year, and no one can shake her position.

Shu Yao left the palace in a carriage.She was already tired, yawning on the back of the cushion, pulled up the curtain of the car with drowsiness, and asked Li Mingji in front of her: "Li Mingji, where is the gift you prepared for the princess?"

The young man's voice was gentle: "The Princess will know when she returns home."

What, is this still a trick?
Glancing at the purse hanging on his waist, Shu Yao lost seven or eight points of her anger after getting up.All right, all right, she will wait a little longer.

She was about to put down the curtain when she saw someone standing outside the palace gate, staring at her with scorching but sad eyes.

Shu Yao was shocked and frowned uncomfortably. Who is so bold to stop her car? ... Hey, isn't this Xie Yanzhou?

She and Xie Yanzhou hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The handsome and romantic young man in the past looked haggard, he became thinner visible to the naked eye, his eyes were dark and dark, it seemed that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and he was completely different from the energetic young man in his memory.

However, those who have been given up are naturally not worthy of her attention.Perhaps when she was ignorant, she mistook Xie Yanzhou for her future husband-in-law, but this matter has passed, and she has also seen Xie Yanzhou's character clearly, and will no longer have any expectations of him.

Shu Yao put down the curtain of the car, and ordered coldly: "Go around him and leave the palace."

"Yoyy—!"

Hearing her voice, Xie Yanzhou outside the palace gate hurried over as if waking up from a dream, "Yaoyao, yaoyao, I have something to tell you!"

Li Mingji was still here, and Shu Yao really couldn't hear him say "Yaoyao", so she asked people to stop the car, and gave him a glance, "Xie Yanzhou, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, call the Princess."

I thought Xie Yanzhou would be as difficult as before, but he just gave her a sad look, but immediately changed his words: "Princess."

Hey, when did he become so sensible?

Shu Yao was not interested in the reason for Xie Yanzhou's change, "Xie Yanzhou, if you don't leave, don't blame the princess' guards for being rude."

"Yoyao, princess, I..."

Xie Yanzhou still stared at her with complicated eyes, hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Happy birthday."

He stopped her car and wasted so much of her time just to say this?
Shu Yao felt more and more that she should have ordered people to bypass Xie Yanzhou from the very beginning, snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "The princess has received enough blessings, don't waste my time here. "

These words finally stimulated Xie Yanzhou. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Princess, I just want to remind you to be careful of the people around you. No matter what...no matter what happens, you come to Xie Mansion to find me, I will I will never give up on you."

When it came to "be careful of the people around you", he seemed to be intentional, and he glanced at Li Mingji.

Li Mingji stared at him calmly, Xie Yanzhou shuddered fiercely with his deep eyes.That's right, how could an ordinary young man have such eyes?
They were all deceived by Li Mingji, this is an unfamiliar wolf!

But now Li Mingji is Shu Yao's most beloved bodyguard, even Emperor Yong trusts him, so how could he have thought that he would...how would he find those evidences in the future?
Shu Yao didn't ignore his hostility towards Li Mingji, she just felt inexplicable and angry, "Xie Yanzhou, this princess has nothing to do with you for a long time, put away your preaching posture. It's not your turn to protect me."

I thought Xie Yanzhou changed his temper after not seeing him for such a long time, but he didn't expect to show his original shape again when he opened his mouth.What she hated the most was Xie Yanzhou's self-righteousness, always taking things for granted. At that time, she told Xie Yanzhou to leave over and over again, but he didn't listen to a word, completely immersed in his own world.

"The county master..."

Shu Yao put down the car curtain and didn't look at him again: "Leaving the palace."

Xie Yanzhou was forcibly pushed aside by the guard of honor.

Li Mingji gave him a cold look, his eyes dimmed.

……

It was a good birthday, and Xie Yanzhou's words made her uneasy, and her sleepiness disappeared.Won't give up on her?Shu Yao clearly remembered that in the dream, the apprentice said that something happened in the capital, Xie's family ran the fastest, and fled to the northwest early, and she didn't come back when she died. What face did Xie Yanzhou make such a promise in front of her?

Really bad luck.

The carriage slowed down, is it almost to the princess mansion?It's just that the front of the princess mansion has always been clean, so why is there so much "bang bang" smoke today?
A slender hand like jade lifted the curtain of the car, and Shu Yao heard Li Mingji's voice: "Princess, you're home."

No matter what happened, his voice was always so steady, like a mountain spring, deep and sweet.Hearing his gentle voice, Shu Yao's restless heart also calmed down, she held his hand, and jumped off the carriage with his strength.

The noise of gunpowder smoke grew louder.

The sky is full of purples and reds, and fireworks explode in the deep purple night.Mars fell like rain, and the night sky was as bright as day.Shu Yao stared blankly at the tall buildings in the distance, and the radiance reflected in her eyes.

The young man stood behind her, his voice as cold as a mountain spring was tinged with a slight smile: "Princess, happy birthday."

"I made an agreement with Chunjiang Huayue Tower in advance that the fireworks will be set off on the moon-watching platform. The best view is from the princess mansion."

In the imperial palace, setting off fireworks in the imperial city is only allowed for important matters, and it needs to be approved by the Ministry of Rites, which is a cumbersome procedure.There is a fixed place for the fireworks display, and you have to go to the highest point of the palace to see it clearly. The patterns are also fixed every year, so after watching it a few times, Shu Yao gradually lost interest.

But this fireworks was set off specially for her, where she could see it at a glance.There is no need to climb up to the eaves. Standing here, she can enjoy all the glory of the sky.

Shu Yao's eyes were bent into crescents, but she refused to admit that she was coaxed into elation, "When did you get in touch with Chunjiang Huayuelou?"

"Money can turn ghosts around," Li Mingji said calmly, "Besides, I heard that it was for the princess's birthday, and the shopkeeper agreed without saying a word."

It was the mysterious landlord again.

Shu Yao thought to herself that she and the landlord should be considered half-confidants, so she must find a chance to meet that person.The landlord is so careful and considerate, he should also be a kind elder, right?
