Chapter 81 Birthday Banquet
Walking up the straight stairs step by step, the people below can only see the slow backs of the family of three.But the people walking in it have different moods.

At such a young age, Gongsun Wuyou looked at his father for a while, and then at his stepmother, suddenly his eyes became inexplicably moist, the feeling of having parents is such a wonderful feeling.He felt that since he began to accept Qian Zimo, it was the happiest time since he grew up.

However, Qian Zimo smiled slightly, pinching Gongsun Wuyou's little hand in his palm from time to time.Before stepping on a step, her heart sank a little.Perhaps, after tonight, she will have to leave this place.Not for anything else, just to fulfill the promise she made to someone, besides, she and Gongsun Jiuye were just contract couples.In addition, she knew that Gongsun Jiuye had someone in his heart, but she didn't understand that this Gongsun Jiuye had a named princess by his side, someone who cared about him in his heart, but he made all kinds of entanglements and promises to Mo Xiaoyi, Or, the person in his heart is Mo Xiaoyi?Qian Zimo thought about it, but it was wrong!Mo Xiaoyi had only met him a few times.She was very sure that in Qian Zimo's memory, before the National Border Flower Fair, she had never shown Mo Xiaoyi's true colors to anyone, let alone met this famous prince.Every time Gongsun Jiuye looked at her with that incomparably doting eyes, it was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Shaking his head, Qian Zimo felt that his heart had been completely disturbed by this Gongsun Jiuye, so he simply decided that the sooner he escaped, the better.

Gongsun Jiuye glanced at Qianzimo in a daze.His heart is actually very uncomfortable.He knew that Qian Zimo had been thinking about how to escape from him.He also let her run away, but why did he feel empty in his heart?He always felt that once she left, he would lose it forever.But when he thought of Mo Xiaoyi, he became confused again.She was his wife, the wife he most wanted to marry honestly.But why does it feel like, once Qian Zimo leaves, Mo Xiaoyi will leave too?He's scared.also.He still has a deep doubt that has not been resolved, and that is Qian Zimo's face.

There are another [-] or so steps to reach the peak of the moon viewing platform, but the three people who have their own concerns feel that the distance of these [-] or so steps is still so far away.Qian Zimo and Gongsun Jiuye seemed to be separated by something, although they were beside each other, they seemed to be getting farther and farther away.Every step I take is so heavy.And the young Gongsun Wuyou seemed to have noticed that there was a problem with the father and the princess, and his little brows could not help but tighten.

When they finally stepped on the last step and came to the peak of the observation platform, Gongsun Jiuye felt that the light here was too bright, a bit dazzling.In fact, he was just thinking about things and ignored the small luminous pearls placed on both sides of the stairs when they came up. On the top of this platform, Qian Zimo put an extremely bright luminous pearl. Although it is not as bright as day, it also has modern street lights. effect.Can illuminate a world.

"Oh, I just came!" The romantic young man in red came out of the darkness. Even the dark night could not conceal his unrestrained personality and beautiful face.Of course, he was also forced to come out by the doubtful eyes of a certain prince with two clusters of small flames.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Wuyou's immature question made Young Master Fengyu stagger and almost fell down.

"Young Master Fengyu, you don't need to salute this king." Gongsun Jiuye looked at Nan Fengyu who had just stabilized his footsteps with a wicked smile on his lips.This sentence also explained to his son that the flamboyant man in red in front of him was the suave, unrestrained and handsome Nan Fengyu, the number one son in the world.

Nan Fengyu gritted her teeth!Who the hell saluted you?no!He had to find a way to get his sister to divorce this unreasonable and arrogant brother-in-law!

Gongsun Jiuye didn't know that his actions today completely offended his brother-in-law who was born a thousand years ago and lived a thousand years ago.This indirectly made his future pursuit of his wife more difficult.

Qian Zimo coughed lightly, and Gongsun Wuyou let out a drawn-out tone.

Looking up, on the central ground, a long bamboo tube and a white lantern came into view.

Gongsun Jiuye just stepped forward, but Qian Zimo had already walked to the standing bamboo tube and lit a candle. The cool night wind blew past, and the candle's weak flame was flickering non-stop. It seems that it will go out in the next moment.

"Stay away." This was Nan Fengyu's voice, and Gongsun Jiuye quickly retreated to the stairs with Gongsun Wuyou in his arms.Before he could stand still, he heard a "bang" sound from the place where the bamboo tube was placed, and then a brilliant spark exploded in the sky.

"Wow! It's fireworks. Father, look, it's fireworks. Such beautiful fireworks." Gongsun Wuyou exclaimed excitedly.

The bamboo tube was still rattling, Gongsun Jiuye raised his head to look at the flashy fireworks although his eyes were indescribably dark.The same sky, I hope she can see it too.

Soon, the fireworks were over, and the strong smell filled the surroundings. Nan Fengyu couldn't help covering her mouth and nose.The sudden taste irritated his nostrils and even stimulated his brain, and he really couldn't stand it for a while.

Gongsun Jiuye stretched out his hands to cover his son's mouth and nose, but he himself frowned and held his breath, not wanting to smell the pungent smell.Qian Zimo didn't care.

"What's the smell!" The people below also smelled a slight smell, and some of them also couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

Before people could get over the pungent smell, the butler lit a small ball of cotton cloth hanging from the bottom of the white lantern in his hand. Everyone saw that the lantern began to swell when it was stretched open by the butler, and then the butler lit it. Afterwards, they threw it casually, and everyone was surprised to find that the lantern could fly.Then, several soldiers around the housekeeper followed his example and started to act. One, two, three lanterns were lit one after another and flew into the dark night sky.

"Wow, father, look, it's a flying lantern." Gongsun Wuyou exclaimed excitedly.Gongsun Jiuye couldn't help but also looked up, a slowly flying lantern was gradually passing in front of him, Gongsun Wuyou couldn't help reaching out to grab the lantern, Nan Fengyu called her to stop in time.

"Don't touch."

Being yelled at by Nan Fengyu's harsh tone, Gongsun Wuyou pursed his mouth, looking like he was about to cry. Gongsun Jiuye looked at his son's aggrieved appearance. As a father, he certainly It can be seen that his precious son is completely pretending, but he still feels distressed!
"Who gave you the courage to yell at my son?" Gongsun Jiuye said in a deep voice.

"Take good intentions as the liver and lungs of a donkey." Nan Fengyu was really wronged.

"You guys, come here." Qian Zimo said to them while fiddling with a few white lanterns.

Nan Fengyu shook her head helplessly, and said to her sister!Although I know what it is, it really hurts my heart for you to ignore my elder brother so directly!

Gongsun Wuyou broke free from his father's arms, and circled around Qianzimo in a desperate manner.There was a thief's light in those black jewel-like eyes.

"Mother."

"Take it." Qian Zimo handed a brush to Gongsun Wuyou.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Gongsun Wuyou looked up at Qian Zimo suspiciously.

"Write your wish on the lantern." Qian Zimo said flatly.

"Mother, writing my wish on the lantern will come true!" Gongsun Wuyou said with some doubts.

"Of course...you can't! It's just a belief and a custom. It's up to people! If you want to have 500 million taels of gold, but if you don't take action or earn them, the 500 million taels of gold won't fall from the sky!" Qian Zimo explained with a smile.

Gongsun Wuyou let out a long cry.Although he knew it was unreliable, he still wrote his wish on his lantern.Then, Qian Zimo helped him open the Kongming lantern, lit it and let it fly.

"Gongsun Jiuye, why don't you write? Don't tell me you don't have a wish!" Nan Fengyu taunted her brother-in-law unceremoniously.Gongsun Jiuye ignored him, just raised his head, quietly watching the white lanterns floating in the sky, one after another slowly flew up, and one after another lights flickered in the sky.As one lantern rises, the other flies farther and farther away until it disappears.The lanterns flying all over the sky are as dazzling as stars in the dark night.Can't help but look sideways.

The emperor, ministers and envoys also picked up the lanterns given to them by the housekeeper of King Ning's Mansion, learned to open them, lit them, and let them fly.Even the people in and out of the city went to a wide place to look up at the bright sparks in the sky.

"Mother, why are there so many lanterns flying? How many lanterns are here?" Gongsun Wuyou asked Qian Zimo while handing a lantern that had not been opened to Gongsun Jiuye.

Qian Zimo couldn't explain why the lantern could fly.Only picked the latter answer.

"One thousand and one, on behalf of me giving you father and son a thousand and one wishes."

"But mother, one thousand and one, my father and I can only get five hundred. If both my father and I have one thousand and one wishes, you should prepare two thousand and two lanterns." That's right." Gongsun Wuyou said seriously.

Qian Zimo blinked, such a serious child, really...

"That's good at arithmetic. Are you really only seven years old?" Qian Zimo was so speechless that he forgot the fact that children in ancient times matured prematurely.

Gongsun Jiuye held the lantern, opened it, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two of them.The corner of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.

He didn't write any wishes, but directly ignited a small black thing with a pungent smell hanging under the lantern, and then let it slowly fly into the sky.

"Father, you haven't written your wish yet!" Gongsun Wuyou turned around and saw that his father hadn't written his wish, so he said seriously.

"Father's wish is that you grow up safely and happily." Gongsun Jiuye patted his son's little head and smiled dotingly.

Qian Zimo looked at the father and son, and unconsciously lost his mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Nan Fengyu leaned into her ear and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking, in my previous life, when my brother celebrated my birthday, every wish he made was for me to be happy and safe. But." He didn't celebrate his birthday for himself.These were the words Qian Zimo choked in his throat.

"Fool, brother naturally sincerely hopes that you are happy and safe. It's the same now." Nan Fengyu gently tapped the tip of her small nose gently.

Qian Zimo smiled bitterly.

"Stop talking, let's set off the fireworks." Qian Zimo said in a coquettish tone, pouting.

"Yes, I obey, my lord concubine!" Nan Fengyu reluctantly went to light the fuse of the fireworks.

And their intimate behavior just now was seen by a certain prince.A certain prince stared at a certain princess who was pouting and acting coquettishly.It looked like he was about to be blown up.

Gongsun Jiuye rushed over and grabbed Qian Zimo's wrist tightly.He stared at her firmly.Qian Zimo, who was about to go down, was baffled by him.She really didn't understand where the anger on his face came from.

After thinking about it, Qian Zimo casually glanced at Nan Fengyu who was looking at her dotingly.She was a little happy to see Gongsun Jiuye jealous, and opened her lips slightly, trying to explain something.But looking back, it won't be long before I say goodbye, and there is no need to explain.Simply, pretend not to know.

"Father, don't drag mother. Mother said, there will be arrangements later." Gongsun Wuyou looked at Gongsun Jiuye anxiously and said.

Gongsun Jiuye pursed his lips.On the stairs behind him, a eunuch was struggling to run up.After finally reaching the top of the viewing platform, I was already too tired to breathe.His legs were weak and he sat down on the ground made of blue bricks, panting heavily.

It took a long time before he could barely speak.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty said that if the Concubine has no arrangements, please... you two go down and receive...foreign envoys together."

"Did my concubine say that there is no show? Go and tell the emperor, if he is busy, he can go back first." Qian Zimo said coldly.Going to the side and picking up two bamboo tubes, the eunuch's scalp felt numb, his legs went limp, and he rolled directly down the stairs.This Concubine Ning is a well-known evil goddess, he can't afford to offend her.Fortunately, there are green brick walls on both sides of the stairs, otherwise, if he is not killed by Princess Ning, he will fall to his death first.

Enduring the pain all over his body, the eunuch told the emperor what Concubine Ning had said, and the emperor was furious, but no matter what, the fourth wife of his family protected his daughter-in-law tightly, so he had no choice but to convict him.He had no choice but to lead a group of ministers and envoys away from the viewing platform on the grounds of physical discomfort, and returned to the Zhenghe Palace to continue the banquet and chat.

Gongsun Jiuye embraced Gongsun Wuyou with an expectant face, and looked at Qianzimo who was preparing to set off fireworks.

"If you talk to the old emperor like this, you won't be afraid that he will kill you."

"Don't be afraid. If he dared to kill me, he could have done it as early as when the queen had an accident." Qian Zimo said while putting the bamboo tube away.

Gongsun Jiuye looked at her calm appearance, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously evoked an evil smile.

"So, relying on this king, are you going to be willful and reckless?"

Qian Zimo paused in his hands and hummed softly.

"Then what if you leave me? Can you still be so casual?" Gongsun Jiuye's question not only touched Qian Zimo deeply, but also made himself aroused.

"Father, where is mother going?" Gongsun Wuyou didn't move what his parents said, but the sentence of leaving the king made him afraid.He has just had the love of his parents that he longed for for a long time, and he does not want and is afraid of losing the warmth that only a mother can give.Although she was just a stepmother, he was satisfied.
