Chu Xingchen's birthday banquet was no exception. When Xiao Wang brought up the Kongming Lantern and asked Chu Xingchen to write down his wishes and put them there, although there was a little surprise, it was not an accident.
This Kongming Lantern was a gift from her a long time ago, and today it's her turn.
It was just that after Chu Xingchen carefully wrote down his wish, and after Xiao Wang, who had written the wish together, released the Kongming lanterns, he suddenly discovered that many Kongming lanterns were rising around him.
Chu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was Xia Zhi and the others, one by one from the Liangyi Palace, all putting down the Kongming Lanterns in their hands.
Seeing Chu Xingchen looking over, they saluted with smiles on their faces.
"Your Majesty, look, there is more."
Summer Solstice pointed to the sky. Chu Xingchen looked up again and saw Kongming lanterns rising in all directions.
One or two Kongming lanterns will not be so spectacular and beautiful, but dozens or hundreds will be spectacular.
Chu Xingchen witnessed this spectacle this night.
Because all the palace attendants put up Kongming lanterns.
Chu Xingchen looked at the sky full of Kongming lanterns, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Xiao Wang, "Did you arrange this?"
Xiao Wang smiled, "Do you like it?"
Chu Xingchen breathed out, "It would be strange if you don't like..."
It turned out that this was Xiao Wang's surprise.
The picture was very beautiful. Chu Xingchen looked at it intently and asked jokingly, "You're not using your power to force them to release it, are you?"
Xiao Wang nodded seriously, "Yes, if you don't let me go, I will put on your shoes. If the news is leaked, I will chop off their heads, so they have to cooperate."
Chu Xingchen: "......"
Xiao Wang looked at Chu Xingchen's expression and smiled, "Why is Your Majesty looking like this? Did I answer poorly?"
"Okay, very good."
Xiao Wang then smiled, "Okay, no more joking, they did it voluntarily."
"I did want to use my power to suppress them, but in the end I didn't use it. I heard that I wanted to prepare a surprise for you. Everyone is more active than me."
Everyone knows about Da Chu's crisis during this period, and everyone also knows about Chu Xingchen's pressure.
Chu Xingchen didn't want to waste money and people on his birthday, so he said he wouldn't celebrate it so that everyone didn't have to do anything.
But the palace official really wanted to do something to bless her.
It happened that Xiao Wang also thought about it, and finally Xiao Wang came up with this method.
Kongming lanterns are not difficult to make and the cost is low. You can make one yourself or ask someone to make one.
So under Xiao Wang's arrangement, everyone actively prepared.
Because the palace has opened literacy classes, everyone can go to school during breaks, and many people in the palace can read and write.
Those who knew how to write and those who couldn't, all took it upon themselves or asked someone to write blessings for His Majesty or the Great Chu on the Kongming Lantern.
Be prepared, after Chu Xingchen releases the Kongming Lantern, they all release it too.
This gift is indeed full of sincerity.
"Why did you think of using this method?" Chu Xingchen felt that this surprise was too romantic, and this level of sincerity was enough to propose a proposal.
Are you working too hard?
Xiao Wang looked at the sky full of sky lanterns and said, "I just want your wish to come true."
"Um?"
"I can probably guess what your wishes are this year, and mine are the same. Everyone is the same."
"I'm afraid that even my wishes won't be enough. I just want everyone's wishes to be gathered together. No matter what, there will always be a few that can be seen by the immortals in the sky."
"In this way, your wish will come true."
Even though her wish may have nothing to do with him, he still hopes that her wish will come true.
It can be achieved every year and never fails.
Because he knows how uncomfortable it feels to have failed wishes.
It was enough for him to experience the pain of having his birthday wishes come true every year.
Chu Xingchen didn't expect Xiao Wang to think so. She took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, I believe it can be done."
Her birthday wish this year is for the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe. She hopes that both Zhou Buyan and Ling Zhou can return safely.
She also wrote a small line of words, wishing Zhou Buyan a happy birthday and a safe delivery of the little ice cube.
Zhou Buyan also has two birthday wishes this year, one is for Cathay Pacific to be safe, and the other is for Chu Xingchen to give birth safely.
He only allowed Chu Xingchen to give birth safely. This was his most pressing concern and he hoped God could help.
He couldn't help Chu Xingchen give birth, but the country was peaceful and the people were safe, so he could work hard on his own.
The wish Xiao Wang wrote down was also for Chu Xingchen to give birth safely.
This is his most urgent wish.
The wishes of the palace people are almost the same: the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and His Majesty gives birth safely.
Chu Xingchen felt that with so many people helping her make her wish, it would surely come true.
She asked Xiao Wang excitedly, "Have you asked the imperial chef to make more cakes? They are celebrating me like this, and I can't even eat the cakes."
"I have already asked the imperial chef to prepare it. The imperial chef made a huge birthday cake, and all the palace guests who participated in the Kongming Lantern display can eat it."
"That's good."
Chu Xingchen felt relieved, looked up and couldn't bear to look away, and soon she discovered something was different.
Because I suddenly discovered that there were many more Kongming lanterns appearing one after another outside the palace.
Soon, the entire Feng'an City seemed to be lighting up sky lanterns.
"What's going on?"
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang, "Have you made arrangements outside the palace?"
Xiao Wang shook his head, "No."
Chu Xingchen hurriedly sent someone to check, and quickly responded to the message.
The Kongming lantern outside was not arranged by Xiao Wang, but the people spontaneously followed the blessing after knowing about it.
They also hope that His Majesty will get through this crisis well.
As for how the people knew about it, some heard it accidentally from the palace servants who went out to buy during the holidays, and some just followed the trend.
Whether they are following the trend, or they are quietly preparing after hearing it, it is spread from person to person.
In addition, after hearing this, the minister was very willing to sell it well and asked his servants to prepare it.
I pray that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and that your majesty will have a safe delivery.
Just like that, there was such excitement.
The people Chu Xingchen sent to inquire would not hear these inside stories. They only said that they knew it by chance and automatically participated.
Chu Xingchen quickly felt relieved after hearing this.
Although the movement was really loud and the sky lanterns were very spectacular, the cost was actually very small compared to her extravagant birthday celebrations and receiving gifts.
Some gifts are very valuable. I am afraid that one gift is worth more than all the Kongming lanterns.
But this Kongming Lantern gift moved Chu Xingchen even more.
Xiao Wang felt happy and grateful in his heart, "Your Majesty, why not ask the imperial chef to make some more cakes and send them out, so that the people can be happy together."
"Okay." Chu Xingchen nodded.
The imperial chef began to work overtime, but fortunately, he also made a lot of preparations in advance.
There were so many people that the imperial chef was overwhelmed. Xiao Wang quickly sent people to buy all the cakes and pastries in Feng'an City and distributed them to the people of Feng'an City.
Thank them for celebrating His Majesty's birthday and celebrating together.
Although Da Chu is in a difficult situation now, this night was full of joy and laughter.
Chu Xingchen personally carved out the extra large cake and gave Xiao Wang a portion and also gave a portion to Xia Zhi and the others.
After that, Xia Zhi and the others pushed the big cake outside and divided it among the people in the palace.
There are too many people in the palace, so we can only get a small piece of cake, but everyone can get a share, and the royal chef who doesn't get a share will make up for it.
Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang sat down and ate cakes. When they looked up, they could see the Kongming Lantern getting smaller and smaller.
Chu Xingchen looked at it for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Wang.
