Chapter 13 Birthday
On the third day of April, the maids and cooks in Linglong Pavilion got busy early in the morning.Mother Li is even more busy, she can be seen everywhere, she will tell the maids to pay attention to this, and then ask the cook to prepare that, and she will personally arrange for Luo Yao to offer incense to her ancestors.

Although busy, no one feels bored.I just feel that today is the day to prepare well.

"Miss, are you awake?" Yan'er was playing with Lu Li on the small couch, when she heard some movement on the other side of the bed, she saw that it was Luo Yao stretching.

"En." Luo Yao replied lazily.

Since she took her life and came back, Mother Li didn't let Luo Yao go out, even though she was fine, she was still locked up in Linglong Pavilion.Luo Yao has nothing to do every day, except to eat and sleep, maybe because she was too tired to practice martial arts a while ago and never slept in late, this time recuperating, it seems that she can't get enough sleep, and today it was only waking up in the sun.

Seeing that Luo Yao had woken up, Lu Li got under Luo Yao's bed, took out a brocade box, and jumped onto Luo Yao's bed.

"For me?" Luo Yao watched as Lu Li put the brocade box on the quilt, opened it and saw a pair of magnolia flower earrings, "Pretty good."

Seeing Luo Yao's words, Lu Li proudly raised his head to look at Yan'er.

"Miss, this is Lu Li's hard-earned money, and he bought it as a birthday present for Miss." Yan'er patted Lu Li.

It turned out that Shuang'er and Yan'er were discussing that Luo Yao's birthday was approaching, what should be prepared, Shuang'er and Yan'er both said that they wanted to give Luo Yao a gift, and Lu Li was next to him, and Yan'er joked that he wanted to give a gift to Luo Yao. What is it?Lu Li understands human nature, so he can understand what Yan Er said.I don't know what each person and thing communicated. Yan'er secretly took Lu Li out of the street. After returning, Lu Li pestered Mama Li and beat Mama Li's back with his own fleshy claws. After Yan'er's translation, Mama Li found out Lu Li beat his back to keep her from taking the money.Seeing Lu Li's spirituality, Mama Li didn't ask what Lu Li was doing with the money, and happily gave Lu Li the money, which really made Lu Li rich enough to buy the magnolia flower earrings that Yan'er liked when he went out on the street.

"Our Lu Li is the spirit of the tiger." Luo Yao smiled and held Lu Li in her arms.Lu Li raised his head high and roared.

"Look at how happy you are." Yan'er teased Lu Li, turned around and went out to fetch water to wash Luo Yao's face.

Luo Yao ravaged Lu Li in his arms in various ways, but Lu Li didn't hide, just letting Luo Yao go.

Lu Li often loves to run into Luoyao's arms, so Mama Li washes it every day, so that it is fragrant every day, plus the soft hair, it is like a ball of fur in his arms.It won Luo Yao's favor.

"Miss, the lady from the Dutong family is here." Shuang'er smiled when she entered the door and saw Luo Yao ravaging the normally mighty Lu Li.

"Sister Wanyu is here? Hurry up and pick her up, I'll get up right away. Come and change." Luo Yao heard Wanyu coming and called the little maid to come and change, put Lu Li aside, and got up by herself .

Lu Li saw that Luo Yao threw himself aside when he heard someone coming, not as obedient as before.He opened his mouth wide to the little maids who came in to change Luo Yao's clothes, showing their fangs to scare people.

Luo Yao looked at the trembling hand of the little maid who was changing her clothes, turned around and gave Lu Li a glance, then tapped it on the head again, Lu Li finally settled down.

"Miss, Miss Wanyu is here." Shuang'er said.

It just so happened that Luo Yao was already dressed properly, "Sister, come in quickly."

Seeing Wan Yu walking in in a neat Hu suit, Luo Yao thought she must have come here directly after equestrian lessons.

"I've already finished my equestrian class, you just woke up, you're really a lazy cat." Wan Yu walked in and said.

"Sister is tired, drink some tea." Luo Yao poured tea for Wan Yu with a smile.

"Seeing you once, you look better each time." Wan Yu said looking at Luo Yao in front of her.

Today, Luo Yao's top is a Suzhou embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, and her bottom is a pleated skirt of water mist and green grass. Her hair is too impatient to comb.Only two pink belts were used to tie two bundles and hang down on the chest.Cheeks as white and tender as jade, apricot eyes with upturned nose and vermilion lips.To that stop, is a landscape.

"When I see my sister, I naturally have to dress up better. If I sleep late, I will be criticized by my sister. If I don't dress up, I will be accused of the whole day." Luo Yao teased Wanyu.

"You're so clever." Wan Yu spat at Luo Yao after taking a sip of tea.

"Miss Wanyu, let's have some cakes." Mother Li came in with cakes.

Wan Yu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite, "It's been a long time since I've eaten a cake made by Mama Li. It smells so good."

"Miss Wanyu, would you like to have dinner at the mansion today?" Today is Luo Yao's birthday, and Wan Yu is Luo Yao's friend. Seeing that Luo Yao has been recuperating from injuries for a long time, Mama Li decided to keep Wan Yu.

"I came here to beg for food. Yaoer's birthday, there is always something delicious." Wanyu clapped her hands after eating a piece of pastry.

Seeing Wanyu like this, Luo Yao felt that this sister was living a chic life.But at the age of 12, he knew what he wanted and what he didn't want.They have their own ideas about many things, they all have daughters when they are old, and they feel that practicing martial arts is hard, so they choose Wanyu, and hope that their daughters can study well.I don't want Wanyu to not like reading since she was a child, but only loves to wield swords and swords. She can't do anything about it, so she can only shake her head and say that she was a bastard who was cast as a daughter by mistake.

Seeing that Luo Yao was accompanied by Wan Yu, several people went down to get busy, leaving the two of their playmates to talk about themselves.

"It was rumored that you raised a little tiger. I still don't believe it, but it's true." Wan Yu's sharp eyes saw Lu Li who was still on the bed.

As Wan Yu said, she walked over, reaching out to hug Lu Li, but Lu Li avoided, "Come here and show me." Lu Li hid further away.

Wan Yu turned her head and glanced at Luo Yao, "He still has a temper."

Luo Yao nodded, "You have a very bad temper."

Wan Yu rolled up her sleeves, "Come here, if I catch you, you'll be the one to watch."

Lu Li ignored it and held his head high in the distance.Wan Yu threw herself on the bed to catch it, and it jumped out of the bed.Wan Yu was impatient and chased after it, but she couldn't catch it no matter what.

"Dutong named my younger sister Wanyu, and my older sister ruined the name like this. Why did you come to my general's mansion to catch tigers?" At this moment, Luo Yu's sinister voice sounded.

I saw the three ladies from the second room standing at the door of the wing room, Luo Yang smiled and said nothing, Luo Yu was full of contempt, and Luo Wan was expressionless.

"I remember your father is a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy. When did you become a general? Where is your general's residence?" Wan Yu put her sleeves back and smiled at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu said angrily, "You!"

"Bachelors teach students all over the world, but they teach such rude daughters? My father is upright and first-class, and he is not polite when he sees me?" Wan Yu said with a serious face at the moment, "I still want to tell my father, the Imperial Academy Luo Yu, the daughter of the academician in charge, bullied me?"

Luo Yu's face at this moment was like that of a pig's liver, trembling with anger.

"Luoyang, the daughter of the academician in charge of the Imperial Academy, pays her respects to sister Wanyu." Luoyang saluted at this time, "Sister Yu'er is young and ignorant, and I hope that sister Wanyu will not argue with her because of Yao'er's birthday today."

At this moment, Wan Yu put away her downcast face and smiled, "Sister Luoyang, let's get up, bachelor's tutoring is still good, but some people are rotten wood that can't be carved."

"Yao'er's birthday is today, and because of her injuries, her grandma is not allowed to make a big deal. No, my mother and grandmother asked me to send a gift, and my sister's heart is also in it. I hope Yao'er will be happy every day in the future."

"Yao'er thanked sister." Luo Yao replied lightly.

Luo Yang didn't care about Luo Yao's tone, and still had a smile on his face, "Yao'er is alone in the mansion, and the uncle and brothers outside the Great Wall entrusted Yao'er to grandma. My sister should do so."

"Brother is seriously injured, but he still celebrates his birthday happily. Yao'er doesn't see her brother often, so the relationship is weak. Besides, Yao'er's mother also died today. Yao'er's birthday is not very auspicious." .” Luo Yu said coldly.

"What did you say?" Luo Yao said loudly when she heard Luo Yi was injured.

"Yu'er, grandma told you not to say anything. Why did you mention the dead person? You're making nonsense." Luo Yang scolded Luo Yu, "Yao'er, you don't have to worry, it's just a serious injury, life is safe."

Luo Yao was impatient just now and lost her position. When Luo Yang spoke, she thought about it, and she was preoccupied.

"Why didn't I receive the letter from home?" Luo Yao asked at this time.

"Grandmother stopped you because she was worried." Luo Yu said.

Wan Yu snorted coldly and said, "The major general is seriously injured, the letter from home has not arrived at Yao'er, and I have not heard that the palace knew about it, if there was no letter sent, the palace didn't know, and you actually know about the military affairs? "Wan Yu suddenly raised her voice at this time, "The head of the Imperial Academy is very talented."

As soon as Wan Yu said this, Luo Yang was shocked, Luo Yu and Luo Wan still didn't know what it meant.Luoyang hurriedly said, "The family letter is in the hands of grandma. Luoyang doesn't know why the family letter didn't reach Yao'er. Daddy never knew about it." Then he pointed to the gift outside, "Sister Yao'er's birthday, the gift sister put it outside for the maid to keep. My sister has something else to do, so I will go back first."

After Luo Yang finished speaking, he dragged Luo Yu Luo Wan away who didn't know the so-called.

Wan Yu said to Luo Yao in a voice that she could hear when Luo Yang just turned around and left, "This matter is very important, you must talk to your father, Yao Er, you should also study the book and the general, if anyone in the army is concerned If you know, then His Majesty must be very anxious."

After Wan Yu finished speaking, Luo Yang's footsteps became even more hurried.

"Ignorance!" Wan Yu said to their backs.

"Sister is amazing." Luo Yao sat down holding Wan Yu's hand.

"Didn't you see through it too? You are too innocent, but you can't be kind to some people. My father is not like your father. There are groups of concubines in the mansion. They spend all day thinking about how to marry my mother and me." Fight on. Luo Yu is an idiot, but Luo Yang must be careful." Wan Yu recalled what happened just now, and comforted Luo Yao, "Don't believe what they just said. If there is anything wrong with the major general, the palace will know, and you will I know, I can’t reach their prophets anyway.”

Luo Yao nodded, "I know, but I was a little anxious when I heard it just now. After thinking about it, I can understand. But I don't want me to live in peace."

"But what's the matter with your injury? You didn't send someone to let me know. It's better for me to come and see you." Wanyu worried.

"It's all right now."

"You, what do you want to tell me in the future, there is no need to see each other between you and me."

Luo Yao agreed.

Wan Yu looked at Luo Yao at this time and said, "I know you are still sad about the death of the wife that Luo Yu said, but Yao'er, no one can control life and death. Since the wife is doing her best to let you be born, she will not hope for her sacrifices." It is the source of your sadness, and someone else seriously injured your weapon. The general is away, and the mansion is not at peace, so if you want to tell me anything, I will try my best to help you."

"With such a confidant, what more can I ask for." Luo Yao smiled while holding Wan Yu's hand.

"Irregular."

Luo Yao didn't know why the ancients had the saying that "a scholar dies for a confidant", but now she understands how lucky it is to meet a confidant in the mountains and rivers, and also understands the meaning of Boya no longer playing the qin after Zhong Ziqi's death.Now Wanyu treats herself, she treats Wanyu, and the friendship between each other has no benefit or purpose. In this troubled world, Luo Yao feels that it is even more precious.

"Miss, it's ready. Let's eat." Mother Li called someone to pass the meal.

"Sister Wanyu, let's go, Mama Li must have made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Luo Yao pulled Wanyu up.

Wan Yu smiled and said, "Won my heart."

The two little sisters went to eat happily.

After Wanyu and Luo Yao had lunch, they played with Lu Li in the small garden all afternoon, and Wanyu returned home after dinner in the evening.

With Wan Yu's company today, Luo Yao feels much refreshed.When she returned to her room, she saw the shoes embroidered by Shuang'er, the sachet of Yan'er, the brocade clothes of Mama Li, the piano specially made for her by Wanyu, and the new gadgets sent by her father and brothers far away in the frontier. fell into the sugar bowl.

Mother Li and the others had been busy all day, Luo Yao rushed them to rest.

Luo Yao didn't know if she was too happy or she really slept a lot today, but she couldn't fall asleep.So he picked up the book and read it on the couch, trying to entertain himself in the long night.

"Tuk-tuk~" Luo Yao heard someone knock on the window lightly.Luo Yao didn't know who it was, so she didn't dare to look rashly.

"Du Du~" the voice rang again, Luo Yao put down the book and put on her coat.Take a deep breath and go boldly.

Luo Yao exhaled in front of the window, and kept her body away from the window, thinking about what to do to have room to run.Reaching out to open the window, a large bunch of epiphyllums came into view.

Luo Yao looked at the epiphyllum whose petals were as white as jade, bit her lip and still couldn't help laughing.

"Are you happy to see me?" A silver masked face poked its head out from behind a bunch of epiphyllum, and asked the girl in front of him.

Hearing Qinghe's question, Luo Yao's face instantly turned red, like a pink cloud in the sky.

Coughing lightly, Luo Yao said, "Of course I am happy. You are my lifesaver. Where have you been? Mama Li couldn't even find you for lunch at noon."

Luo Yao has never seen Qinghe since he came to get Qionghua wine that day.

"I sent the master back, but something happened later, so I never went back to the house."

"Where did the epiphyllum come from?" Luo Yao reached out and stroked the petals.

"I saw it occasionally on the way here, so I took it along."

"It's pretty." Luo Yao laughed happily, her almond eyes were bent into crescent moons, she was even more beautiful than that epiphyllum.

Looking at Luo Yao's smiling face, Qinghe was stunned for a moment.After a while, I reached out and handed Luo Yao a pink brocade box.

"What is it?"

"Open it and you'll know."

Luo Yao opened it and saw a white bead the size of an egg. Qinghe jumped into the room at this time and extinguished the candles in Luo Yao's room with the wind of her palm.

I saw the beads in the brocade box emitting a faint light, "Ye Mingzhu!" Luo Yao was pleasantly surprised.

"Well. A birthday present for you."

"It's more expensive."

"Uh...not counting."

"Qinghe!" Qinghe only heard Luo Yao shout angrily.

Qinghe didn't know that he was fine just now, so why?I saw Luo Yao relighting the candles in the room according to the light of the night pearl.

Qing He looked and saw Luo Yao looking at him angrily, very puzzled.

"I've accepted your wish. Where did you get it from? Hurry up and return it. This is Ye Mingzhu. Someone will arrest you." Luo Yao approached Qinghe and said softly.

Qing He chuckled lightly, "Which mansion will have Ye Mingzhu?"

"You..." Luo Yao was furious, "You stole to the palace?"

"Hurry up and return it!"

Qinghe watched the emotion in Luo Yao's eyes change from joy to anger, and then to worry now, a certain place in his heart was tapped, and a warm feeling lingered in his heart.

"It's not stolen, and I'm not a thief." Qinghe explained.

"Then didn't you almost get caught by my third brother for stealing in my mansion?"

"No."

Luo Yao wanted to say something else, but Qinghe had already jumped out of the window, "Don't worry about accepting it, this Ye Mingzhu is mine, and it will be yours in the future. It never belonged to anyone else." After finishing speaking, she flew away.

Looking at Qing He's leaving back, Luo Yao muttered, "It's really hard to guess." She turned and went back to bed.

The epiphyllum placed on the window sill seemed more beautiful than before. Luo Yao felt sleepy after putting away the Ye Mingzhu.
