The journey was unhurried. The sky gradually darkened. The red sunset hung in the sky, very charming and gorgeous.
She came to Zhe Hao's room. The lights were dark inside, and there seemed to be no one inside. However, the palace maid was guarding the door.
Zhong Yan waved his hand and called one of them over to ask,""Is your master not in the room?"
The palace maid slightly bent her knees and replied," Yes. The Second Prince also came by in the afternoon. He was chased out. Master said that he didn't see anyone."”
Zhong Yan smiled and deliberately said loudly,""Is it because you look too sad and are afraid that others will be upset when they see you? Or is it because you are narrow-minded and feel sorry for your big body?”
There was no movement in the room.
Zhong Yan covered her mouth and said in a low voice,"You guys can go down. You're not allowed to come over unless someone calls you."?”
He looked at Ying Shu and Ying Hua behind him and instructed,"Just follow my arrangements."
The two nodded and left.
Those few palace maids thought that Zhong Yan was going to take Prince Zhehao as his male toy today, so they did not dare to announce it and left as if they were running for their lives.
Seeing that they had all left, Zhong Yan gently pushed open the door.
Because of the direction of the window, the room was much darker than the outside. A figure was lying on the bed with his back facing the outside and his face facing the inside. His body was moving up and down slightly, but it was very stable.
She approached him quietly. Zhehao seemed to have fallen asleep. Under the dim light, the child seemed to be sleeping very soundly.
"Zhehao?" Zhong Yan called out in a low voice and walked to the bedside. She saw that there was no reaction from the person.
She reached out a hand and pulled the corner of his blanket, wanting to lift him up.
Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by a strong force. His body leaned forward and he could not control his balance. He was carried by that force and directly pounced on the person on the bed. Suddenly, his feet were suspended in the air and he was actually pulled onto the bed and pressed firmly inside.
Zhong Yan looked at Zhehao's lowered face in horror. His pitch-black eyes were staring at Zhong Yan without blinking.
"What are you doing?" She gave him a slight push, but he didn't budge.
Zhe Hao's face approached again and said,""Who did you say looked sad? Who's so petty that they don't dare to meet people?" The tip of his nose almost touched the hair on Zhong Yan's forehead.
The two of them suddenly realized that the situation was very ambiguous. The atmosphere was tense, but neither of them was willing to admit defeat. They just stood there stiffly.
Both of them held their breaths and quietly observed each other in the darkness.
Zhong Yan saw that Zhehao's eyes were black and bright. The hot air from the tip of his nose tickled his face, but he had no choice but to lock his hands tightly on the bed and not touch them.
Zhe Hao also seemed to be entranced. That little girl who had yet to mature had a pair of bright eyes, curved eyelashes, and a small nose that stood there. Her face seemed to be flushed because of her ambiguous posture.
" You..." The two of them suddenly spoke at the same time, but when they saw each other speak, they both shut their mouths.
Zhe Hao already had an Adam's apple. At this moment, because he was nervous, his Adam's apple moved up and down.
"Aren't you going to get up?" Zhong Yan turned her face away. She did not want anyone to see her blushing face. Fortunately, the light was very dim, so she could not be seen clearly.
Zhe Hao also felt embarrassed and immediately got up."I…I'm sorry…I…I was too impulsive!”
Zhong Yan's face was flushed red as she sat up. The light shone on her face bit by bit, causing Zhe Hao to be stunned.
She took out something from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhehao's hand. It still carried the warmth of her own body.
Zhe Hao lowered his head to take a closer look. It was actually a jade pendant.
"This is?" He opened his mouth in shock.
Zhong Yan smiled, a flirtatious expression on her face."Happy birthday. This is a birthday present for you. It definitely doesn't feel good to celebrate your birthday alone without your mother by your side, so I specially came over to celebrate your birthday!”
Zhe Hao widened his eyes in surprise and asked her in disbelief,""You're not here to mock me, but to celebrate my birthday?”
Nodding her head, her eyes curved into an arc as she looked at him, who was overjoyed. Zhong Yan also felt very happy.
The ambiguous atmosphere from before was swept away.
The two of them came down and tidied up their clothes. Zhong Yan clapped her hands and someone pushed the door open and entered.
Ying Shu and Ying Hua entered and lit up the candles in the room. The palace maids who came in one after another set up the banquet. When they left, they had to say,"Happy birthday."
Zhe Hao seemed to be teary-eyed.
The last person came in, holding a white round object in his hand. There was a small red candle inserted in it, and it was lit with a bright flame.
Zhong Yan smiled and looked at Zhehao's surprised expression. He took the leather bag filled with red syrup from Ying Hua and rolled up one corner of it to make it look like a pen. Then, he personally wrote on the white date cake.
Zhong Yan took the white pastry and shook it in front of Zhe Hao. She smiled and placed it on the table."Zhehao, happy birthday. This is Ji Chongyan's birthday wish for you!”
He pressed the dazed Zhe Hao onto the chair and waved his hand to dismiss everyone.""Now, when I sing the birthday song, you have to make a wish while I sing. You can't say it out loud! Otherwise, it wouldn't be effective! After making a wish, he had to blow out the candle on the date cake in one breath!”
Zhe Hao nodded his head, feeling a little touched. He was useless to this little girl, but she still treated him so well. Even when he was in Lanling Kingdom, he only ate a bowl of longevity noodles in his mother's room, but she went to great lengths to prepare gifts and dinner for him. He was really touched!
Zhong Yan's sweet voice rang out as she hummed softly,""Happy birthday to you…"
Zhe Hao closed his eyes. At this moment, he hoped that his mother would be well. He hoped that he could return to his mother's side as soon as possible…and he also hoped that…the girl beside him…would be well…
When the song stopped, Zhe Hao opened his eyes. Under the expectant gaze, he blew out the candle.
Zhong Yan excitedly sent someone to call Ruo Wu,""Tell him not to accompany you in the afternoon. As punishment, he can't see your birthday. Ask him to come over for a cake!”
He accidentally let it slip, and his eyes flashed."By the way, I call this kind of thing that can hold candles a birthday cake.”
Zhe Hao was a little confused, but he still nodded obediently.
Ruo Wu came over very quickly. When he saw the two of them sitting at the table peacefully, he seemed a little disappointed!
"Why are you two eating together?”He sat at the side and saw the white date cake. He was even more surprised." Yo, how did you get such a big thing? Who can eat it?!"”
Zhong Yan glared at him." You still have the cheek to say that? Do you know that today is Zhehao's birthday?"”
At this moment, Ruo Wu finally understood and slapped his head.""I forgot!"
After rolling her eyes at him, Chong Yan called someone to come in and cut the date cake into small pieces. She specially placed the date cake with the word "happy" written on it on Zhe Hao's plate.
"Ruowu, I gave him a birthday gift. Do you have anything to give him?”Zhong Yan teasingly looked at Ruo Wu tasting the date cake dipped in red jam.
It wasn't that Ruo Wu didn't have anything that he couldn't give away. He never cared if this thing was expensive or not. He just thought it was fun and would bring it with him.
Zhe Hao pretended to dissuade him." Forget it. If it's not presentable, then don't give it to me. I don't lack that little bit of yours."”
Ruo Wu found it funny instead. He took a sachet from his waist and threw it in front of Zhe Hao."Here, this is for you. I took it from Ying Hua a few days ago to play with. I don't know what it's used for, but it smells quite good.”
Zhe Hao looked at him with disdain.”
Ruo Wu shrugged." Forget it. I'll get someone to find you something fun in a few days."”
Just as Zhong Yan was about to speak, she heard the palace maid call out,""The palace maid is here."
Yue Qing rushed in from outside the door and immediately knelt down when she saw Zhong Yan.""Princess, the Empress is looking for you everywhere.”
