Jiaochu

Chapter 185 Birthday (Part [-])

After a battle, only three kites were left out of the seven.

There were many onlookers gathered outside Weiyang Palace. They were all palace maids and eunuchs who were attracted by the kites. Their eyes were fixed on the three kites to see who would be the final winner.

Hu Yuhan's big crab flaunts its eight large claws majestically, and the pair of red pincers in front are even more domineering.

"Princess, go around to the back and let's attack from both front and back." Hu Qian'er said confidently.

Ye Lingxi held the kite spool and cooperated tacitly with Yan Fei in taking up and releasing the line, smoothly moving his big swallow behind the big crab, forming a pincer attack with the big butterfly in front.

The maids and eunuchs outside the palace were whispering to each other about which crab, butterfly, and swallow were stronger and weaker. Some people also placed bets, and most of them bet that the big crab would win. After all, the domineering appearance was really domineering.

"Tsk, tsk, three against me, you are bullying the minority with more." Hu Yuhan said.

Hu Qian'er said: "Brother, just admit defeat."

Hu Yuhan held her chin and thought about it for a few seconds, then sighed, as if she had accepted her fate, "Okay, I'll admit defeat."

"No!" Zhao Ce was the first to jump out and object, "We can't admit defeat."

"Then let's decide the outcome, Your Majesty." Hu Yuhan handed the kite spool to Zhao Ce and became a spectator.

Zhao Ce pulled the kite string a few times, and the other three people saw that he was an inexperienced novice. Hu Qian'er set her sights on Yan Fei and Ye Lingxi, intending to compete with them.

"If the princess wins, I will write a hundred words of longevity to the princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ce uttered an ouch and muttered why it was tied up again. Hu Qian'er looked up and found two kites crowded together. Zhao Ce pulled the kite string back hard, not listening to Hu Qian'er's advice at all. Hu Qian'er was so angry that she pulled out the hairpin and cut the kite string neatly, making her bun a little loose.

Ye Lingxi waved He He and Ling Dang over, and then the two of them took Hu Qian'er to the house to tidy up her hair.

After the two kites fell down at the same time, only the swallow kite was left flying in the wind.

The maids and eunuchs surrounding the palace wall felt a little unsatisfied when they saw the winner so easily. Someone shouted in panic, "Your Majesty." Only then did the others realize that the Holy Emperor was behind them, and they all knelt down to say hello. A look of sincerity and fear on his face.

Ye Lanchen arrived a quarter of an hour ago, and when he saw a few kites fighting in the sky, he didn't disturb anyone. Concubine Xiao also arrived later, and she didn't disturb Ye Lanchen's enjoyment.

After Eunuch De and everyone had dispersed, Concubine Xiao said considerately: "Your Majesty, the second princess caught a cold two days ago and is not in good health. She can't live without people around her, so I asked Concubine Liu to stay in the palace. I’ll take care of you here, so there’s no need to come over at night.”

Ye Lanchen nodded and asked: "What did the imperial doctor say?" Concubine Xiao replied: "I have already asked the imperial doctor Han to see me. It's okay. I also went to see you yesterday and my fever has subsided." Okay, just keep it for another two days and it will be fine.”

While talking, the group entered Weiyang Palace.

"Father~"

Seeing the figure of Ye Ling running towards her, Concubine Xiao frowned in displeasure, as if she had seen a round and clingy spirit who could act coquettishly.

When people came running over, Concubine Xiao's face had already put on a smile.Concubine Lan and Zhu'er came over to salute, and the others also saluted and said hello. After some noise, Ye Lingxi took Ye Lanchen to look at the arrow shaft of the throwing pot.

"Father, you see, Lingxi threw it in with his eyes closed. Brother Yan threw these two in with his eyes closed. Brother Yan threw them in with his eyes closed like this." She closed her eyes as she spoke. After demonstrating it, she opened her eyes and pulled Ye Lanchen to look at the arrow shafts on the other side, saying which one was hit by her third brother, which one was hit by Brother Hu, which one was hit by Sister Su...happy The voice was chirping like a little sparrow, and then she took Ye Lanchen to watch the chess game. Her feet really couldn't stop for a moment~
"Father, this was done by the eldest brother and Brother Su, and it was done by the second brother and Brother Murong. The Lingxi here can understand it a little, but the one here can't."

The chess game on both sides was not finished yet. After Ye Lanchen looked at it, he asked about the kite fight just now. Ye Lingxi proudly said that she and Yan Fei won.

Zhao Ce grimaced unconvinced, feeling as if a jealous jar had been overturned in his heart. He felt sour gas rising from the top of his head. Hu Yuhan came over and whispered, "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood." Zhao Ce was puzzled. He asked, "Why don't you have firewood?" Hu Yuhan mentioned four more words, "The days are long." Zhao Ce was still puzzled. Hu Yuhan sighed and added another sentence, "I heard that the three uncles of the Yan family are all 15 I went out to fight with General Yan at the age of [-]." Zhao Ce became even more puzzled, "Are we going to fight again? Why didn't I hear about it? Where did you hear it?" Hu Yuhan sighed again, shook his head and walked away silently. .Zhao Ce still had a question mark on his face. He didn't know what the other party meant by saying a bunch of irrelevant things.
"Sister, it's really lively here." Concubine Xiao smiled and said to Concubine Lan, as if she had a special meaning, and asked Hongqiao to send the congratulatory gift. She looked at Su Wan, Yan Chuchu and Hu Qian'er again, only to Asked Su Wan how old she was.

Su Wan lowered her head shyly and replied that she was fourteen. Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "She is about the same age as Ling'er."

Hearing these words, Yan Chuchu suddenly tightened her handkerchief, and Hu Qian'er was also a little surprised. Did the imperial concubine mean to bring together His Highness the Second Highness and Sister Su's sister?
At this time, a slim figure walked in. Her charming aura made Concubine Xiao frown unhappily. The person who came was none other than Murong Ze's personal maid, Hongxing.

Hongxing came to give Murongze a hand stove, and her soft voice was like a pampered canary, which made Concubine Xiao even more unhappy.When Hongxing said her name, Ye Xingye and Zhao Ce couldn't help laughing. The next second, they both looked at the ground. Ye Xingye was even blushing with embarrassment. If Concubine Rong was present, I'm afraid that He will be punished to copy scriptures again.

However, Concubine Xiao felt a little relieved.

"I made His Highness and this young master laugh." Hongxing apologized.

Ye Xingye hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm not laughing at you."

Hongxing smiled sweetly, and Concubine Xiao swung the knife away, and said to Ye Lanchen, "Your Majesty, the decoration at Qingliang Hall has been arranged, why don't we go there first."

Murong Ze gathered up the fox fur on his body and coughed slightly.

"The imperial doctor told me not to catch cold, why don't you go back and rest first?" Concubine Xiao asked with concern.

Murong Ze bowed to Ye Lanchen and left with Jingzhe and Hongxing.
