Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 174 Birthday Gift (VIII)

He thought that no amount of words could match the moment of tenderness and her satisfied smile.

"Well, it's almost time, you can shake the bell in your hand again." Xuan Luo said.

"Okay. This time, how many times?" He looked at her softly, with a peaceful and beautiful expression.

Xuan Luo blinked, "You can do whatever you want this time."

"By the way, we have to go down first, this place is not very suitable." After finishing speaking, Xuan Luo naturally took Huangfu Yao's hand and flew down.

Her lightness kung fu has begun to recover slowly, because of Tianshan Snow Lotus, and because there are a lot of rare medicinal materials for healing in the palace, her injury healed very quickly, so it is not a problem to bring Huangfu Yao down the roof.

Huangfu Yao let her lead him down, feeling the little hand tightly holding him, his hand tightened slightly.

Xuan Luo noticed something strange, and couldn't help pulling out his hand, "Didn't you lose your martial arts, I kindly take you for a ride, let's go, go over there."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the small room in the middle of the small building in the middle of the lake with somewhat hasty steps.

I do not know when the room was decorated very delicately, although it is still mainly elegant, but it is a little more joyful.

With an inexplicable smile on Huangfu Yao's face, he walked into the house at a leisurely pace, wondering what kind of surprise the little fox would like to give him?

It had to be said that the surprise she gave him tonight was more than what he had looked at in his life.

"Master, I'm really curious about what's in your head that you can do so many new things." He looked at Xuan Luo and sat down gracefully.

Xuan Luo raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "There are many things I know. It's normal if you don't know. This time is your birthday, and you just saved my life again. Naturally, I will do my best to make you happy. Besides, it's rare for His Majesty to value someone so much this time, so I have to win you over for her."

"So, you did these things just to attract talents for His Majesty, and to repay the kindness of saving your life?" He squinted at the small gold bracelet on her wrist, and asked with a half-smile.

Xuan Luo was surprised, but still nodded heavily, "Of course."

Liar!he laughs.

"Well, master knows, then you should use all you know, it happens that master is also very bored now." Huangfu Yao nodded, indicating that she could continue.

Xuan Luo held his breath in his heart, and stared fiercely at Huangfu Yao's comfortable handsome face.

Damn, I can't say enough about him.

"What is this?" Huangfu Yao asked, pointing to a large beautiful box on the table.

Among them, it seems to be something to eat, and the taste is a little sweet.

"Open it and see for yourself."

"Alright." Huangfu Yao didn't open it with his hands, but picked up the fruit knife that Xuan Luo had prepared earlier from the side and swiped it left and right, the outer box fell down from all directions, revealing the mystery inside. .

A round fruit cake just appeared in front of you...
"This is—" Huangfu Yao paused, "Dessert?"

Why is it so big?
It looks very exquisite, and it is also a dessert that he has never seen before. There are fashionable fruits on it, and the fruits are deliberately carved into some patterns. The top layer of oily things should be the sweet things just now .

"Dessert?" Xuan Luo was surprised by Huangfu Yao's words, then thought for a while, and nodded: "It is indeed a dessert, but it also has a name called cake, which is different from ordinary desserts. This cake is eaten on birthdays. Yes, here, those are birthday candles, you can make a wish after inserting them on the cake and lighting them up.”

"Your statement is quite unique." He smiled, and there were many things in his deep eyes.

Xuan Luo knew that Huangfu Yao would be curious about why she knew so much, but she didn't bother to explain, anyway, no one would believe such a thing, so it's better to give him more mystery.

Xuan Luo inserted the candles placed on the cake on the side, and said: "After you finish making your wish, blow out all these candles, and then the wish will come true."

"Actually, I don't really believe this."

"Actually, I don't really believe in it. It's just a custom. You just make a promise. It's always a powerful force that can truly make a wish come true. These things should be regarded as belief."

Huangfu Yao carefully looked at these lit candles, yes, this can be regarded as a kind of sustenance.

"The creators of this cake and candles are people who yearn for beautiful things. They believe that the burning candles have mysterious power. If a child who celebrates his birthday makes a wish in his heart and blows it out If there are all candles, then the child's good wishes will surely come true."

"You think, Master is a child?" Huangfu Yao was dissatisfied, and looked at Xuan Luo with a half-smile, his long and narrow star eyes full of darkness.

"I'm just a metaphor. You're not a child anymore. You're a 23-year-old man—" Xuan Luo quickly covered his mouth, "Slip of tongue, slip of tongue. Make a wish and blow out the candles."

There were several obvious gasping sounds from the dark place. Obviously, no matter how calm people heard these words, they could no longer remain calm.

Hearing the sound of gasping in the dark, Huangfu Yao frowned slightly, and his eyes on Xuan Luo became deeper.

Obviously, this time he doesn't intend to let Xuan Luo go easily, the little fox is really speaking more and more boldly now, it seems that he has to have a deep talk with her.

"You think, grandpa is old?" he asked.

"Still growing stronger." She hurriedly looked at him flatteringly, secretly regretting that she had offended this stingy fox.

What to do now?
Or just slip away?
"Old and strong." Huangfu Yao lightly repeated her words, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you still think you are getting old?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "old" a lot.

"No, I just made a slip of the tongue. Your lord has a lot, so hurry up and make a wish and eat the cake." She tried to laugh, "This cake is delicious. I made it a dozen times before I succeeded. The ingredients in this place Although it is good, there are still many things missing, but fortunately, I am smart and dexterous, and finally succeeded."

"Don't change the subject, answer what Master said carefully." He fixedly looked at her and said.

Xuan Luo is angry, I have done so many things for you, can't it be compared to a slip of the tongue?
Besides, you are already old.hum.

When people get angry, they tend to become more courageous, and Xuan Luo is like this at the moment.

She puffed her chest out, raised her head, and stared at him: "In the first place, she is already 23, no matter what, she can be regarded as half an old man. Those officials and young masters from aristocratic families I know already have wives and concubines at your age." No matter how hard you are, you will already be the father of several children, do you think you are still young?"

After saying these words, the sound of gasping in the dark became stronger.

Of course, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't compare to the storm in Huangfu Yao's eyes.
