After wearing a book, my pampered little poor is the prince

Chapter 21 When is your birthday

She didn't say anything, just responded lightly, then turned around with her face upright and left.

In the memory, it is her thin back, which seems to be lost and sad.

But at that time, she didn't say anything.

Although she is the noble daughter of the Duke of Zhen, she was pampered and brought up since she was a child, but she has never been arrogant or angry in front of him.

Junci's heart tightened suddenly, inexplicably making him a little out of breath, an indescribable feeling spread all over his body, probably guilt.Looking at his slightly pale face, Mrs. Jun couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Ci'er, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, mother." Jun Ci raised his head and smiled dryly, the back of his hand holding the chopsticks showed faint veins, "I just remembered something."

He pinched the center of his eyebrows and pursed his lips tightly.

For some reason recently, I always think about Shen Nanyuan, maybe because I heard what she said when I was in Gaofu that day.

"Don't play tricks anymore."

She didn't know when she found out.

Maybe it's because I knew it, that's why I want to divorce.

He was restrained by the marriage contract before, and he never cared about her, let alone cared about it, but no matter what, he was really sorry for Shen Nanyuan.

This year's birthday seems to be extraordinarily peaceful and quiet. Apart from him, there are servants in the study room. The weather is very good. The sun is shining brightly, and the dark clouds that have been covering for several days have all dispersed. It is a rare good weather.

"Master, Mr. Liu is here."

Junci raised his eyes from the book, and from behind the servant, Liu Yuli, who was wearing a black brocade suit, slowly walked over. He sat down and poured a cup of tea by himself: "Today is your birthday, so it's too late for you to come here." It's too quiet."

"You know," Jun Ci said quietly, "I don't like excitement."

"Although this is the case, at least the birthday should be more lively. In the past, Ms. Shen would come over, and it seemed like a birthday celebration with her. She won't come in the future. Are you going to celebrate your birthday like this?"

Hearing the words, Jun Ci suddenly exerted force on his fingertips, which turned slightly white.

Liu Yuli didn't notice Junci's expression, and continued with a smile: "How about we go to Mingyue Restaurant? Then let Miss Lin come over secretly, today is special, I will help you two meet."

"no need."

Junci said: "Next month I will go to the Lin Mansion to propose a marriage. It will be a few days, so it's okay to see you then."

He didn't raise his eyes, his eyelashes blocked all the expressions in his eyes: "I don't want to go anywhere today."

Liu Yuli touched his nose, feeling a little resentful: "Okay."

He left after not staying long in Jun's mansion. Liu Yuli was very excited and came here to ask Jun to resign. He couldn't stay in such a quiet place like the study for long.

After Liu Yuli left, there was no one to speak, and it was so silent that it was as if a needle could be heard.

But Jun Ci couldn't read the book in his hand.

He stood up and walked out, and unknowingly walked to the warehouse, where the things sent by others were piled up, and he seldom came here.

The servant pushed open the door carefully, and there would be someone cleaning and wiping it every day. It was clean and bright, and he asked cautiously, "Master, what are you looking for?"

Junci looked around for a week, and then said: "When I was born in the past, where did I put the birthday presents sent by others?"

"Back to young master, here."

He heard the sound and walked over, his eyes skipped the gifts from the adults who had made friends with him in court, and his eyes fell on the small and exquisite objects, which were both strange and familiar.

Shen Nanyuan would give him a birthday gift every year, or a painting she made herself, or a jade pendant, and she would happily put it in front of her, but he didn't put his mind on it at that time, only After taking a look, he asked his servants to put it in the warehouse, and it has been kept here since then, and today is the second time he took a look.

Junci reached out and picked up one of the jade pendants. It was warm and cool in the palm, and the color was fine and delicate. It was a piece of high-quality jade.

Thinking about it, he didn't seem to have given Shen Nanyuan any birthday gift.

The only few times his father forced him to give it away.

Never once was it from my own heart.

Junci's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and without saying anything, he turned and left the warehouse with the jade pendant.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to bow his head, he still had some expectations in his heart, whether Shen Nanyuan would give him a birthday present this year.

Even though the engagement between them had been broken long ago, they grew up together since childhood.

But until night, he didn't wait.

Only then did he know that at this time every year, the old lady of the Shen family would go to Puyue Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and it took three days to go there.

And Shen Nanyuan had never been there before because his birthday was in these few days.

This year, she went.

-

The dinner at Puyue Temple was the vegetarian meal in the temple, all of which were vegetarian, although it didn't suit Shen Nanyuan's taste, she still ate them all.

Xiao Yan came back very early today, and Shen Nanyuan stayed by the old lady's side all day without going anywhere else, so she couldn't help being a little curious about her surroundings.

"What's there in the back mountain? Is it fun?"

"Miss Hui," Xiao Yan said, "there is a peach tree in the back mountain."

Shen Nanyuan slightly held her chin: "Peach tree, there is nothing to see now, it must be very beautiful when it blooms in March next year."

She raised her eyes to look at the young man, the corners of her lips curled slightly, under the candlelight, she was gentle and sweet: "We will come here to see the peach blossoms in March next year."

Xiao Yan was not interested in these things, but under her gaze, she nodded involuntarily: "Listen to Miss."

"By the way, when is your birthday?"

Hearing this, he paused for a moment, shook his head after thinking for a while, and said, "I don't know, I only know that I was brought back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion in March."

On his birthday, no one has ever asked him this question.

So much so that he was stunned when he heard it just now.

"That's it." Shen Nanyuan smiled, "From now on, choose a day in March every year to be your birthday, and ask Li Bo to cook more of your favorite food on that day. Li Bo likes to be lively the most. He should Very happy."

When these words came, it seemed as if something spread from the bottom of his heart suddenly, Xiao Yan's throat was a little tight, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Shen Nanyuan, and met those clear and bright eyes, like As if being scalded suddenly, he hastily withdrew his gaze.

"Thank you young miss."

Shen Nanyuan didn't know what he was thinking, but just looked at the sky outside, and then said softly: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest earlier."

Xiao Yan bowed and saluted: "Yes."

He took a few steps back and suddenly remembered something.

"Miss, it's too late, so don't go out like yesterday, this place is no better than the Zhen Guogong's mansion."
