Jiaochu

Chapter 187 Birthday (Part [-])

When Ye Lanchen waved Ye Lingxi over to sit down, he saw an extra flower on the little girl's head. He thought it was accidentally attached, so he took it away.

"Father, I put this on myself~" Ye Ling said with a small pout on her cherry.

Ye Lanchen put flowers on her little girl again, but she couldn't put them on properly and fell off as soon as she put them on. It was difficult to approve the flowers, so she handed the flowers to Concubine Lan in desperation.It was Lan Fei's ingenuity that pinned the flowers to Ye Lingxi's hairband, which was not easy to fall off and matched the color of the hairband. It looked seamless and did not make people feel artificial.

"Little girls only like flower pinks, but when they grow up, they don't like to wear them." Xiao Guifei said with a smile.

After hearing Concubine Xiao's words, Su Wan, Yan Chuchu and Hu Qian'er all quietly took off the flower powder on their heads.

"Don't you like flowers, the imperial concubine?" Ye Lingxi looked at Xiao Guifei with innocent and strange big eyes, "Why doesn't the imperial concubine like flowers? The flowers are so beautiful and smell delicious. Lingxi's mood will improve when she sees the flowers. "

Concubine Xiao suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said with a smile: "I, like the emperor, like to see plum blossoms." Then she cast her gentle and watery eyes on Ye Lanchen and said, "I still remember that the emperor stood on the snow. "Looking at the plum blossoms inside, I'm wearing a moon-white cloak,"

"How come Lingxi has never seen her father looking at plum blossoms in the snow?" Ye Lingxi also looked at her father with big, clear and innocent eyes, as if she was competing with Concubine Xiao to see whose eyes were wide open, and raised her hands to hold She tilted her face to the left and then to the right, as if "I am the cutest in the world", which made Ye Lanchen and the Queen laugh.The queen also waved Ye Lingxi over, held the little dumpling-like figure in her arms, and said lovingly, "At that time, we were still in the palace, and there was a large field of plum blossoms planted outside the emperor's study. The emperor took a look at it for a long time."

"Then my father won't be hungry?" Ye Lingxi smiled playfully, "Oh~, I know, my father must be full of flowers."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, even Concubine Rong showed a little smile.

"Princess, the emperor has also prepared longevity noodles for you." Eunuch De said, changing the subject at the right time.

Ye Lingxi's eyes lit up when he heard that there were longevity noodles.

When Eunuch De placed the steaming bowl of longevity noodles in front of Ye Lingxi, he said diligently: "Princess, please don't bite off the noodles when you eat them later. It's for good luck."

In order to achieve good luck, Ye Lingxi only moved his cheeks and smacked his face like a little hamster.

Zhao Ce stared at it without moving his eyes. He didn't know whether he was greedy for the noodles or wanted to see if the noodles would break.

"Lingxi, eat slowly, don't choke." Xiao Guifei said.

Ye Lingxi turned a deaf ear and finished chewing a whole stick of longevity noodles without any distractions. She felt her cheeks were a little sore. She raised her hands and rubbed her face. As a result, the action of rubbing her face made Zhao Ce burst into laughter. The next moment he became Being the focus of the audience, he rushed to his wits and explained guiltily while holding the wine glass, "I, I didn't laugh, I just choked."

"Brother, Prince, please stop drinking, lest you choke again, you'd better drink tea." Ye Lingxi said.

Zhao Ce couldn't object, and then the wine glass in front of him was replaced by a tea cup.

After the dinner, Zhao Ce took out the luminous pearl from his arms and stuffed it into Ye Lingxi's hand before running away, as if he was afraid that the other party would catch up and stuff the thing back into his hand.

Ye Lingxi could only put the things into her purse first. It was too showy to hold such a luminous bead the size of a pigeon egg in her hand. When she raised her head, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure walking over from under the flowers. Niao Na is slender, with her head lowered and her fingers tightly twisting the handkerchief. She looks a little wobbly when walking, as if she has suffered a heavy blow.

Seeing Yan Chuchu walking over without saying a word with her head lowered, Hu Qian'er asked, "Where did you go just now? What happened? Did someone bully you?" Yan Chuchu shook her head, and Hu Qian'er wanted to ask again, Su Wan shook her head and she stopped asking.

Turning his head again, Ye Lingxi caught a glimpse of two other people standing together and talking. The two of them didn't usually interact with each other, so what could they have to say in private?The two briefly exchanged a few words. Yan Fei talked about the problem in Xiuzhou, and Ye Lingjue said that it seemed that he had guessed wrong, and then they dispersed.

After a while, Ye Lingxi caught a glimpse of Concubine Xiao leaving the place where Yan Chuchu came from, and she probably knew what was going on. It was probably because the other party saw the little girl's thoughts towards her second brother, and showed no mercy. The ground was beaten a lot.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Wu'er came over happily holding a brocade box, "Princess, this is what Mr. Xiao just sent here. It is Mr. Xi Mu's congratulatory gift to the princess."

Ye Lingxi opened the box and found a small white porcelain altar inside, with a pure peach blossom painted on it, which looked very delicate and delicate.

When the lid was opened again, a strange fragrance floated out. What was inside was tea leaves. The color and shape of the tea leaves were also very strange. A handle of seven leaves looked like a small purple lotus, but the tea leaves were thin and pointed. Like a silver needle.

Ye Lingxi had never seen this kind of tea before. The aroma was very similar to the tea he drank in Youzhu Pavilion. He wanted to boil water to make tea. He He said that drinking tea at night would make him unable to sleep, so he persuaded Ye Lingxi to take a bath.

"Princess, this hairpin is...?" He He had never seen this magnolia hairpin before. It seemed that the workmanship and the quality of the jade were both good, and it was on par with the ones in the palace.

Ye Lingxi looked at the hairpin and smiled, without saying who gave it to him. He asked Hehe to put the hairpin away, saying that he would wear it tomorrow.

"How is the princess's handwriting? In a few days, she will go to the Chancery's study room to study. The master wants to check her homework."

"Go and see how many have been written."

After Lingdang opened the box and counted for a while, he came back and said there were more than 50. Ye Lingxi thought about it and thought it should be enough. After thinking about it again, he decided to write two more every day starting from tomorrow.

The next morning, Ye Lingxi shut herself in the room and wrote five words without any distractions, completing half of the plan in one go.In the afternoon, she planned to go to Ganquan Palace to see how her third brother was doing with his homework.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Ye Xingye and Xiao Luzi walked out excitedly.

"Lingxi, you came just in time. I was about to go see Hayate. Let's go together."

"Third brother, have you finished your homework?"

"Homework? What homework?"

"Have you forgotten the homework my husband assigned me before the holiday?"

After Ye Xingye was stunned for a few seconds, he comforted himself: "There are still a few days, I will definitely make it."

Xiaoluzi said sadly: "Your Highness always said that he could catch up, but when did he catch up?"

"Third brother, how many words have you written?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Ye Xingye hesitated, Xiaoluzi sighed, and shook his head. The answer was self-evident.
