Just when Shen Cangzhu's hands were about to touch, Chu Xingchen suddenly stepped back and said, "Okay."
The combination of the scarves was not inconsistent, and made Shen Cangzhu more gentle and jade-like. Chu Xingchen was very satisfied, and then looked at Shen Cangzhu's hands in the air, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Shen Cangzhu retracted his hand, thinking that if His Highness hadn't suddenly backed away, he would have almost made a fool of himself.
He lowered his head and touched the scarf, "It's very soft and warm, but I haven't seen it before."
"Because this is Da Chu's first scarf." Chu Xingchen was proud.
As a qualified palace maid, Wan Dong immediately added, "Mr. Shen Zong, His Highness stayed up late to knit this for you with his own hands."
Shen Cangzhu was stunned, "Your Highness knitted it with your own hands?"
Chu Xingchen glanced at Wan Dong, "I want to knit with my own hands more thoughtfully. The painting you gave me last time was also painted by my own hands. I don't know how to needle and thread, but I can knit wool. I hope you won't dislike it."
"How could you dislike it?" Shen Cangzhu shook his head, "Is it made with the two small wooden sticks you mentioned before?"
"yes."
Shen Cangzhu suddenly remembered the moment when Chu Xingchen put the scarf on him, and the redness of her index finger. He stepped forward and took her hand to check.
Sure enough, he saw that her index finger was a little red. Shen Cangzhu raised his head and looked at Chu Xingchen, his eyes were dark, like a deep well that could swallow people's hearts, "Does it hurt too much?"
"No, the knitting yarn will be a little red at the beginning, but it really doesn't hurt, just a little bit."
Chu Xingchen took back his hand and pointed it with his fingers. Shen Cangzhu laughed while looking at it.
Just as he was smiling, he heard the report that Ling Shaoqing was here. Ling Zhou came in advance. When he came in, he saw that Chu Xingchen had already arrived, so he was not too surprised.
Sure enough, she came early.
Looking at Shen Cangzhu with a springy face, Lingzhou felt a little listless, but Shen Cangzhu was lucky enough to choose a day for his birthday.
For the first time, he felt that his birthday was too late, and it would take so long to arrive. It would be better if it were earlier, but Shen Cangzhu drove him away.
Lingzhou saluted and said hello. Chu Xingchen couldn't help but turn him around and whispered, "What are you doing? It's Shen Zongjun's birthday. Why are you so wilted? You have no energy at all."
"Because it's not my birthday." Lingzhou bared his teeth, "I must be in good spirits on my birthday, otherwise, Your Highness, would I also celebrate my birthday today?"
"How can a birthday be celebrated like this?" Chu Xingchen rolled his eyes at him.
"I knew it." Ling Zhou muttered, and then his attention was quickly attracted to Shen Cangzhu, "Jun Fang, why is the scarf on your neck like this?"
"That's how it is." Shen Cangzhu smiled.
Lingzhou felt something was wrong, but he didn't guess what was wrong.
When the time came, the kitchen quickly served the prepared meals one by one. Unfortunately, when all the dishes were served, Xiao Wang hadn't come yet.
Xiao Wang is very punctual and will not be late for no reason. "Did something happen?"
Just when Chu Xingchen was about to order someone to take a look, Xiao Wang came late. He smiled and apologized, "I was late, so I will punish myself with three drinks."
After saying that he really drank three drinks, Chu Xingchen looked surprised, "Why did he really drink three drinks...Don't get drunk, eat some food first."
Xiao Wang nodded, but when he saw the food, he didn't want to touch it. What to eat? The dishes he cooked were basically Shen Cangzhu's favorite dishes.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lingzhou suddenly picked up his chopsticks and started eating. All he ate were Shen Cangzhu's favorite dishes.
Xiao Wang looked puzzled, and Shen Cangzhu was also a little confused, but looking at Lingzhou's posture, he hesitated for a moment, fearing that it might get dirty accidentally, so he took off the scarf and took it carefully from Baopu.
Then, the three of them started an eating competition inexplicably. You used chopsticks and I used chopsticks, and they had a great time eating.
They ate lively and happily, but Chu Xingchen was a little confused. She remembered a few of their favorite dishes. Today, we focused on Shen Cangzhu's favorite dishes. After all, he was the birthday boy, but the three of them ate them wildly and seemed to like them all. , which made her confused.
Little did they know that what Ling Zhou and Xiao Wang were thinking was: His Highness must have specially ordered this dish to be cooked for Shen Cangzhu, and they wanted to eat it all! Not leaving any for him.
Xiao Wang was rarely naive for once: Shen Cangzhu couldn't take advantage of all the good things.
Seeing that they were eating happily, Chu Xingchen didn't care, because the highlight was next. Chu Xingchen used the excuse to change clothes and pushed up the prepared Da Chu version of the birthday cake.
Chu Xingchen found that although Shen Cangzhu didn't show any obvious symptoms and there was no rumor that he preferred sweet taste, he seemed to like sweet food, so he finally thought of birthday cakes.
With the help of the imperial chef, a not-so-authentic birthday cake was finally made.
Chu Xingchen also drew a cartoon version of Shen Cangzhu and wrote the words "Happy Birthday".
After inserting the special candles, Chu Xingchen waited for Late Winter and the others to cooperate, blew out all the lights inside, and then pushed the birthday cake up.
Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang and Ling Zhou thought something had happened, but when they saw Chu Xingchen they knew they had prepared a surprise.
Although it seemed a bit weird for someone to sing Happy Birthday, it would be wrong not to sing Happy Birthday, so Chu Xingchen sang it.
Shen Cangzhu looked at Chu Xingchen under the dim candlelight and stood there in a daze without moving.
He thought that the small banquet tonight and the scarf she knitted by herself would be enough of a surprise for him to return to the Shen Mansion, but he did not expect that there would be another surprise behind the surprise.
Lingzhou asked quickly, "Your Highness, what is this?"
"This is a birthday cake. It's almost the same as a birthday cake, but it's made in a different way."
Chu Xingchen explained, "Mr. Xi, you can make three wishes at once. After you make your wish, blow out the candle, and your wish will come true."
After saying this, Chu Xingchen pulled Lingzhou and Xiao Wang, "Clap your hands with me and sing Happy Birthday together."
Ling Zhou was not in the mood to sing, so Xiao Wang clapped along without opening his mouth. In the end, only Chu Xingchen sang, and the clever Bao Pu Wandong sang along.
Shen Cangzhu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and made a wish; first, I wish that the country of Chu would be peaceful and the people are safe, second, I wish that my parents and relatives are well, and third, I wish... that every birthday from now on, there will be a princess.
He opened his eyes and blew out the candle.
Chu Xingchen clapped his hands and cheered. After they lit up the lights again in late winter, he couldn't wait to say, "Jun Xi, come share the cake. This cake is delicious."
Shen Cangzhu looked at his cartoon, "You want to eat this too?"
"It's edible, it's painted with jam."
Shen Cangzhu paused, first gave it to Ling Zhou and Xiao Wang, then specially separated out his little cartoon portrait and handed it to Chu Xingchen.
"I will feed it to Your Highness."
Chu Xingchen: "..." This is a bit wrong. It sounds misleading.
But it seemed right, after all, she was going to eat the cartoon, but it was a bit embarrassing to eat it with Shen Cangzhu.
Just when Chu Xingchen didn't know what to do, he suddenly stuck out his head and ate Shen Cangzhu's head in one bite.
"Pi Jun's head is so delicious." He swallowed it with two moans, licked the cream on his lips at Shen Cangzhu, who had a sullen face, grinned, and replaced Chu Xingchen with his cake. .
"Your Highness, if you eat the word 'le' from me, I guarantee you will be happy."
Xiao Wang raised his lips quickly at the side, lowered his head to hide his expression, and also ate the cake.
But even though he was eating cake, his expression was inexplicably fierce.
