Chapter 61 Lonely and widowed in the same room, the door is locked
Xiao Cheng was so angry that he couldn't control his eyes. His wife looked helpless and could only remind him to restrain himself.
Naturally, birthday gifts were given at the birthday banquet, and everyone came up with tricks one after another, which made Mr. Gui very happy. Xiao Cheng felt annoyed when he heard the laughter. He was just about to find an excuse to go out, but he listened to Mr. Gui.
"Didn't Xingchen say he was preparing a gift? Why haven't you come yet?"
"Isn't this coming?" the queen's smiling voice sounded. Xiao Cheng frowned and looked over, and saw Chu Xingchen wearing a blue dress, holding a red lamp in his hand, and leading a group of people. Come up.
No, she skated up and wore skates on her feet.
Everyone saw what Xiao Cheng saw. Chu Xingchen smiled at Mr. Gui above him and looked to the left. Shen Cangzhu plucked the strings, but it was him who was playing.
The sound of the piano was melodious, and confusion flashed across everyone's faces. Is the concubine going to dress up and kiss her in person to make your concubine happy?
Just when everyone thought Chu Xingchen was going to dance, they just dispersed and then raised the red light in their hands.
The people sitting below didn’t understand what this meant, but Prince Gui and the Queen sitting at the top suddenly said, "Okay! What a lucky word!"
It turned out that Chu Xingchen and the others were not dancing, but spelling.
Games like spelling are very common in modern times, and they can also create many surprises, but Da Chu is unprecedented.
After realizing that Chu Xingchen and the others were spelling, the people sitting below could no longer sit still and stood up to watch.
Chu Xingchen held a lantern and wore Da Chu's skate shoes as the finishing touch, forming one word after another.
"Blessings are as good as the East China Sea, and life is as long as the Southern Mountains." After putting together all eight words, Gui Taijun was very happy.
This performance surprised everyone, and Chu Xingchen was even more stunning tonight.
Xiao Cheng didn't know whether it was because he was depressed and drank too much, which made his mind unclear, or because the lamp in Chu Xingchen's hand was so beautiful. He only knew that he couldn't move his eyes away from Chu Xingchen.
It took him a long time to look away with difficulty, and then he realized that many of the young talents present were just like him.
Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth, he was just drunk, he didn't regret not entering the palace.
Chu Xingchen didn't notice Xiao Cheng. She was just glad that after the performance was completed without any mistakes, Mr. Gui was so happy that he kept praising it, saying that it was his favorite gift.
The Queen looked forward to it and added hints, "I like it very much too. I'm just waiting for the gift from Xingchen."
Chu Xingchen: "..." So she has to rack her brains to think of a gift next time? She ended up personally today, mainly because Gui Taijun took care of her when she was a child, and he coaxed her to take medicine when she was sick. She had a very good relationship so she bothered to make him happy. Unexpectedly, the Queen also joined in the fun, but the relationship between the Queen and her was even better.
She quickly changed the subject, "Actually, this lamp can still fly?"
"Let go?"
"Yes, write your wish on it and let it fly. When it sends your wish to the sky, your wish will come true."
The lantern Chu Xingchen carried was a special one, similar to a Kongming lantern, and could be placed in the sky.
Your Majesty was in high spirits, and even the Queen also became interested and went outside to write wishes to be released. Others also joined in the fun. Fortunately, they were prepared and had enough lights.
When no one was paying attention, Chu Xingchen found Shen Cangzhu and the others, and specially found Zhou Buyan as well, "Quick, you guys should also write and release it together."
Lingzhou immediately asked, "Your Highness, what wish do you want to write?"
"If I don't tell you, it won't work if I say it." Chu Xingchen prevented Lingzhou from peeking and ran to the side to write with them behind his back.
"I won't peek." Lingzhou said, but he also hid aside.
When hundreds of Kongming lanterns were released, the scene was very beautiful. Chu Xingchen looked up at the sky and said, "It's so beautiful."
"Yes, it's so beautiful." Lingzhou looked at her, "What wish did you write?"
Chu Xingchen shook his head, "I won't tell you."
In fact, what she wrote was very simple, she just hoped that all five of them would live a long life.
Chu Xingchen raised his head and looked at the sky, but he didn't know that he had become the scenery in other people's eyes.
Xiao Cheng couldn't control his gaze at all. He had to admit that he regretted it. He looked down on the concubine before, but now he realized that the concubine was so good. What's more important, she was so good to Xiao Wang!
He had heard other people at the banquet say that Xiao Wang was responsible for the popular royal liquor, and even the magic potion.
Xiao Cheng was drunk and had only one thought in his mind. He couldn't let Xiao Wang continue to be so arrogant. He wanted to defeat him and take what he had!
Seeing Chu Xingchen leaving everyone, he followed him while no one was paying attention.
Chu Xingchen had just changed his shoes in the side hall when he heard the sound of the door opening. He thought it was late winter, so he put on his embroidered shoes and walked out, "Late winter, I want to change my clothes too..."
The words stopped suddenly, because it was not late winter outside, but Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng's back was facing Chu Xingchen, his clothes were half untied, revealing his fair body. He turned around and saw her screaming, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"It's my turn to ask you this. This is my resting place." Chu Xingchen said coldly, "Get out."
"I... am..." Feeling aggrieved, he used his clothes to cover himself, but it was only half-covered. He turned around to open the door, but it didn't open.
"Your Highness, the door seems to be locked." He turned back in panic, "What should I do?"
The corner of Chu Xingchen's mouth twitched. She encountered this kind of scene that must appear in ancient TV dramas and ancient novels. She was not surprised that the door was locked. If the door could be opened, how could the play continue?
She was 100% sure that the person who locked the door was one of his. This was Xiao Wang's brother Xiao Cheng. What did you think?
And what about her late winter? Where did she go in late winter when she was so old?
Chu Xingchen stepped forward with a sullen face and patted it twice without opening it, "Late Winter!"
Xiao Cheng was anxious, "Your Highness, please stop shouting. If someone comes and sees us like this..."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Your maid will definitely find you if the concubine disappears. Just wait patiently."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have something that I have been looking for an opportunity to say to His Highness."
"Actually, I was supposed to be the one who entered the palace, but three days before the gentleman's election, I got sick for no reason and couldn't get out of bed. After I recovered, everything was settled. My brother entered the palace instead of me, and I missed you too.
..Seeing you again today, I am really filled with emotions. If I hadn’t been sick at the time, I should have been..."
Xiao Cheng hesitated to speak, and Chu Xingchen was speechless. Do you think she is stupid for letting her confuse right and wrong?
"There is such a thing. It's a good thing that you are sick and it is Xiao Wang who enters the palace."
Chu Xingchen's straight daughter output the quotation, and she looked frightened, which made Xiao Cheng freeze, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Literally."
Xiao Cheng was heartbroken, "Young lady knew what I meant, why did you still answer like this? I didn't ask for anything else, I just took this opportunity to humbly beg you. I have no regrets in my life, so why do I have to be so humiliated?"
Did Xiao forget what he said?"
After saying this, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, "I beg you, my lady." After saying that, he let go of his clothes and grabbed Chu Xingchen's hand, with a dangerous light shining in his eyes.
