The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 36
"The empress dowager bestowed upon His Royal Highness the crown prince golden shredded wheat, arhat prawns, fried scallops on skewers, and white-grilled pork belly."

"The empress bestowed upon His Royal Highness the magpie on the plum blossom, butterfly rolls, fish fillets in ginger sauce, and five-spice pigeon."

"I wish His Royal Highness the crown prince a happy life and a long life, and be safe every year."

The little eunuchs quickly placed the rewarded meal on the table, and Wei Yi stood up and returned the gift to the east, "Thank you, Father, Grandmother, and Queen Mother for the reward."

"Slaves wait to leave."

Wei Yi still didn't have much appetite, so he picked up a chopstick for each dish and asked someone to clean it up.

Today is Wei Yi's fifth birthday. Originally, he had a day off for himself. He asked his father to hold a banquet in his palace and invite all brothers and sisters to attend. Wei Sheng thought it was a good thing to promote brotherhood. , It was agreed, and the entire academy was simply given a day off, and asked him to invite the children he knew acquaintances to come to the palace to play.

Wei Yi has been very happy these few days. He was still thinking about his surprise gift during class, and he kept sneaking glances at little Ah Fu. He would laugh at thinking about it while clutching the quilt at night, but Ah Fu told him the day before , I couldn’t come to participate because I had something to do, Wei Yi was naturally depressed, he likes to be quiet and hates strangers, if it wasn’t for Ah Fu’s happiness, he wouldn’t post a post to let so many people come to his palace, now Ah Blessings didn't come, and he couldn't regret it temporarily. Thinking about having a bunch of people he didn't know celebrate his birthday, Wei Yi felt like a kitten that was drenched in the rain. He was so sad that he wanted to hide and lick his fur by himself.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"Please get up." Wei Yi sat on the chair with a stern face. He was obviously still a child, and his feet couldn't touch the ground when he sat on the chair. He dared to joke, and sat down quietly, not daring to touch the tea on the table next to him.

"Greetings to the prince's elder brother." The third princess came with Gu Ying.Wei Yi nodded expressionlessly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not happy, and those who came to congratulate him naturally did not dare to make a sound. It was a good birthday party, everyone looked down at the ground, and the hall was quiet.

"Princess Anle has arrived."

Wei Yi's eyes widened instantly in surprise, he jumped off the chair and walked outside.

"Why is it so quiet? Could it be that I came late, did everyone change places to play?" Ah Fu murmured in his heart.

Wei Yi walked two steps quickly, suddenly remembered something, tugged at the corner of his robe, slowed down, walked in front of Ah Fu, and said slowly: "Didn't you have something to come?"

He tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, but in fact, he had already exposed it. His small mouth was pursed and his eyes were wet, like a deer who had been wronged. Yours, how could I not come on your birthday?"

Wei Yi obviously wanted to be angry, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his mouth. He took Ah Fu's hand and walked into the hall. Gu Qixuan waved his hand, "Hey, Wei Xiaoyi, did you only see Ah Fu? Here are your two cousins."

Wei Yi held his younger sister's hand, and his mood was smooth, and he didn't feel too noisy anymore. He smiled shyly and nodded, "Cousin."

A few people entered the hall and sat down. Ah Fu saw that everyone was sitting silently, thinking that Xiao Huo Miao must be introverted and shy because she didn't know how to get along with her friends. Everyone, try it, the white jade cake in the Empress Dowager's womb tastes very good."

Seeing her high-spirited appearance, the two elder brothers laughed softly, and the cousin of the crown prince stopped being stern, and handed the sherbet to Ah Fu, and everyone relaxed, and the older ones had the courage to joke, saying: "Thank you!" Princess Anle."

"Look at her, it's not her birthday." The third princess felt that Ah Fu was showing off, so she pouted and complained.

Gu Ying clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness has a good relationship with the princess, and it is reasonable for the princess to help."

"What, I am the younger sister of the prince's brother, and I am the princess, but everyone only pays attention to her."

"Hush, the third princess..." Gu Qiying tugged at her sleeve.

The third princess Wei Ting pouted, feeling unhappy in her heart, but she managed to restrain herself from speaking.

"Little Huomiao, have you prepared any games? It's embarrassing for everyone to sit like this?" Ah Fu hooked Gou Weiyi's finger and reminded in a low voice.

Wei Yi held Ah Fu's hand with a smile on his lips, and he also responded in a low voice, "You can play in the garden, throw pots, enjoy flowers, and watch fish."

Ah Fu nodded approvingly, "I thought you didn't prepare anything, so go out and play in a while."

Of course Wei Yi agreed, not to mention that his mind was not on this matter, everyone scattered into the garden to play, Wei Yi was still with Ah Fu, he thought and thought, holding Ah Fu's hand with one hand, and the other He pinched the sleeve with one free hand. He hesitated a few times when he wanted to open his mouth. His delicate Danfeng eyes were full of longing. Ask me, just ask me, that's what it feels like.

Ah Fu didn't notice his little cousin at first, the second prince caught bugs and scared Ah Fu, "Ah Fu, Ah Fu, look..." He opened his palm suddenly, and there was a beetle in his palm.

Wei Qi wanted to scare Ah Fu, and waited triumphantly for Ah Fu's cries to sound.

Ah Fu rolled his eyes, "Hey, what is this? The one I caught last time was bigger than this."

Wei Yi looked angrily at the two joking. In fact, it was Wei Qi who came to tease Ah Fu, but it made him inexplicably sad. Although he was young, he was so angry that he almost felt a little sad. Ah Fu, Why can't you just play with me alone?Can't just smile at me?
Wei Qi pouted and was annoyed and left, Wei Yi just relaxed a little, trying to pull Ah Fu away from others, so he could ask...

"Ah Fu..."

Little Huomiao had just plucked up the courage to speak, but Wei Qi ran back again, teasing Ah Fu with a flower branch, and the yellow pollen dyed Ah Fu's sleeves in spots.

Ah Fu patted his sleeves and didn't speak yet, Wei Yi was completely annoyed, he stretched out his hand to push Wei Qi away.

"..." He stared at him with a straight face.

Wei Qi threw the flower branch aside, "What? I'm just playing with Cousin Ah Fu."

Ah Fu pulled Xiao Huomiao behind him, covered his eyes with his hands, "Woo, brother..."
