Danyang really put his heart into building this small village, and invited famous masters in Lujing to design it, and the people who built the house all asked Xiao Huaiyu to go to the Ministry of Industry to recruit a group of people who built the palace.
Every part of Zhuangzi is poetic and picturesque, and every part is exquisite and beautiful, which makes it hard not to like it.
Of course Bai Yao also liked it very much, so he lit the first fire in Xiaozhuangzi to celebrate his birthday and thank Danyang for this heartfelt gift.
The two of them didn't stay in this small village for a long time, Bai Yao promised Xiao Huai'an that he would go back earlier, of course he had to do it, there was no need for the shadow guard to remind him.
When the sun was shining, Bai Yao broke up with Danyang at the Prince Regent's Mansion, and walked slowly inside with the briquettes, one person and one cat.
When Babao saw Bai Yao coming back, he rushed up to greet him, "This old slave wishes young master a happy birthday."
"Thank you, Chief Babao." Bai Yao said with a sweet smile.
Even after spending so long with the old people in the Yong'an Palace and the current Prince Regent's Palace, Bai Yao is still the same as when she first came to the Palace, she is polite to everyone, without the arrogance and arrogance that she has after changing her status.
This is also an important reason why Babao and the shadow guards have always respected and liked Bai Yao.
"Has Junzhu come back?" Bai Yao touched the head of the coal ball sitting next to his leg with his right hand, the straight coal ball narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and rubbed his big head against Bai Yao's leg.
"Your Highness hasn't left the palace today, and has been in the study." Ba Bao pursed his lips and smiled, but there was something unclear in that smile, as if some happy event was about to happen.
"Ah?" Bai Yao was taken aback for a moment, and the hand that was stroking the cat stopped. He just asked casually. After Xiao Huaian became the regent, he was very busy, and he rarely returned home at noon.
He originally thought that what Xiao Huai'an said in the morning meant that he would come back a little earlier, but he never thought that Xiao Huai'an would be in the palace all day.
Bai Yao immediately understood that Xiao Huaian probably decided very early to spend his birthday with him. And he himself took it for granted, without asking Xiao Huaian, he made Danyang's invitation without authorization, wasting Xiao Huaian's intentions in vain.
Bai Yao pursed her lips, feeling extremely guilty, with a small face that was about to cry, pitifully tight.
"Oh, the young master is the birthday boy. Of course, the young master should be the main one. Your Highness just wait, what a big deal." How could Babao see Bai Yao's grievances? , said comfortingly.
As early as in Babao, the status of the princess Bai Yao surpassed that of His Royal Highness Xiao Huai'an. Thoughts are deep, I still see the big His Royal Highness since I was a child, how can there be a good and soft princess? !
"I, I'm going to find Junzhu right now." Bai Yao thought of Xiao Huaian sitting alone in the study waiting for him all morning, how could he stay still, said something, and ran to the study with his clothes on his hem.
"Hey, little boy, please slow down, don't fall down! ... Don't make trouble with the briquettes. Eunuch has meat here. Let's go and eat meat."
Babao grabbed the neck of the coal ball that was about to run, and was not afraid to bite the dark fangs at the coal ball. He patted the coal ball's head with a smile, and directly resorted to his killer.
When the briquettes heard that there was meat to eat, they didn't care about Bai Yao's two-legged beast, and followed Babao happily.
Poor Baiyao didn't know that he combed the briquettes with a big comb every day, and played with the briquettes with yarn balls, but in the hearts of other big cats, he was nothing compared to a piece of meat.
However, the current Bai Yao doesn't have the extra thought to distribute the briquettes. He ran all the way outside the study, panting from exhaustion, hammering his chest desperately with one hand, and secretly vowed that he would exercise more when he had time.
Bai Yao managed to catch her breath, and just about to knock on the door, Li Xia appeared out of nowhere, bent to help Bai Yao push the door open, and jumped onto the roof in a flash.
Bai Yao slowly put down the hand that was raised to knock on the door. Up to now, he has not been able to adapt well to these shadow guards who suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
But it has changed from being stunned with fright on the face to a calm face and a little heart beating.
The study was very quiet, only the occasional sound of pages being turned could be heard. Bai Yao was leaning on the door, first cautiously poking her head in for a peek, but could only vaguely see the shadow reflected on the wall.
Bai Yao retracted her body, straightened her clothes, and hid that little bit of caution before walking in.
Xiao Huaian wore a sky blue brocade robe trimmed with silver thread, and his black hair was all tied up in a dark green jade crown on the top of his hair. He seemed to have been sitting for a long time, not very upright, with one hand propped up. The chin is drawn down, and the long eyelashes droop, forming a small fan-shaped shadow under the eyes.
The warm light in the spring afternoon came in from the half-opened window, casting a layer of gold on Xiao Huai'an who was reading quietly, making this already handsome person even more dazzling and compelling.
Bai Yao came closer and noticed that Xiao Huai'an's clothes were a little too formal, and he was wearing a palm-width cyan girdle with intricate totem patterns embroidered with silver thread.
On it was a half-worn purse that he sewed by himself, and on the other side hung a small jade sword and a suet-white panlong pendant.
Bai Yao pouted unexpectedly. The pouch he embroidered was not carried every day after Xiao Huaian found some slight wear and tear, but was treasured in a red sandalwood box carved with plum blossom relief with a faint fragrance. inside.
Bai Yao only saw that box when Xiao Huai was installing the purse, and never saw it again afterward. When he asked Xiao Huai'an where he put it, Xiao Huai'an only said that it was put away properly, and when he asked again, he laughed Don't speak mysteriously and don't say where.
"Junzhu~" Bai Yao walked to the desk, pulled out the scroll in Xiao Huaian's hand, and smiled beautifully at Xiao Huaian who looked up.
"Are you back? Did you have fun?" Xiao Huai'an also laughed, wrapped his big arms around Bai Yao's slender waist and brought her to sit on his lap.
"Yeah." Bai Yao nodded, "Yangyang actually gave me a courtyard with a peach grove. The peach blossoms there are so beautiful. When we have time, can we go and live there?"
"As long as you like it." Xiao Huai'an had already guessed it when he bought the land in Danyang, otherwise it would be difficult for Xiao Huaiyu to borrow the best group of people from the Ministry of Industry to repair the palace.
"Jun Zhu, I didn't know that you turned down official business to spend my birthday with me today." Bai Yao took Xiao Huaian's big hand, pursed her mouth, and asked in a soft voice: "Are you not angry?"
"Not angry." Xiao Huaian pressed Bai Yao's forehead, the two of them looked at each other, tender love overflowed from Xiao Huaian's deep eyes, "Your birthday, I only hope you can be happy. Baby, happy ?"
"Happy." Bai Yao replied again, drawing circles on Xiao Huaian's palm with her small paws, "But, if I knew that Junzhu had deliberately spared a day, then I would definitely be by your side from the morning. of."
Bai Yao's voice became smaller and smaller, and it had been a long time since they could stay together for a long time like before.
If he hadn't been able to feel that Xiao Huai'an loved him, pampered him and cared about him as always, he would really have believed those nonsense rumors that Xiao Huai'an had another new favorite in the palace.
"It's my fault." Listening to Bai Yao's frustrated tone, Xiao Huaian felt his heart was tightly held by an invisible rope, and it was so sore.
He half embraced Bai Yao in his arms, patted Bai Yao's back with his big hands, and coaxed gently: "In the future, I will definitely spare a lot of time to spend with the baby, baby, please don't be angry with me."
Bai Yao nodded obediently, he just wanted to act coquettishly when he said that, not really trying to make trouble. He also knew that Emperor Xuanwen was still young, and Xiao Huai'an was in charge of the big and small affairs in the court, which was not much easier than being an emperor.
"It's the baby's birthday, we don't mention those unhappy things." Xiao Huaian kissed the corner of Bai Yao's mouth, and said: "I prepared a gift for the baby, but I want the baby to find it by himself."
"Ah?" Bai Yao tilted her head, looked up and down Xiao Huai'an, confirmed that there was no way to hide anything, guessed that it was somewhere in the palace, and her interest was immediately aroused.
"Where can I find it?" Bai Yao's voice was filled with excitement.
"It's in this study." Xiao Huai'an was infected by Bai Yao, and the smile on the corners of his lips rose a bit.
When Bai Yao heard this, she immediately jumped off Xiao Huaian's lap and looked around the study.
Bai Yao always came to this study, not to mention the time when he was looking for things for Xiao Huaining. Even now, Bai Yao always comes here to find some miscellaneous books to read.
There is only a soft pillow on the soft bed, and there is nothing to hide.
Screen, so thin one is even more impossible.
There are quite a lot of antiques on the antique shelf, but Xiao Huaian would not give him such an ordinary thing.
In the end, Bai Yao's eyes fell on the bookshelf, he touched his chin with a pensive expression on his face.
Although he always flipped through the books on the bookshelf, there might be such a thing as a hidden compartment!
Bai Yao's eyes flashed with excitement, and she arrived at the bookshelf in a few steps, flipping through and bumping, looking like she was looking for treasures with great interest.
Xiao Huaian stood leaning against the table, with a doting and gentle smile on his face.
"Click!"
Bai Yao didn't know what she was tinkering with, only heard a sound, and the middle of the bookshelf was slowly opened.
A not-too-large space was exposed, and the fine white fox fur was filled with painting scrolls of the same size.
Bai Yao turned her head and asked Xiao Huaian with her eyes.
Xiao Huaian nodded, "Open it and have a look, these are all gifts from you."
Bai Yao was confused by the picture scroll of Xiaoshan Gao and didn't know what to choose. Finally, she chose a slightly yellowed scroll that looked old and tied with a blue silk rope.
He untied the rope carefully, opened the scroll bit by bit, and saw a picture of a young man in white clothes sleeping in a sea of plum blossoms with his eyes closed. His eyebrows were delicate and lifelike. It was as if the boy could jump out of the painting the next moment he opened his eyes.
Bai Yao's eyes became wet all of a sudden, his hand holding the scroll trembled a little, and he looked at Xiao Huaian with disbelief and panic.
Of course he knew who the boy in the painting was, it was himself!
He hurriedly went to confirm the date of signing, and it turned out to be the night when he first met Xiao Huaian! That's right, judging by the boy's face and fatness and thinness in the painting, it was really me who couldn't even eat enough at that time.
Bai Yao carefully placed the painting in her hand on the table, then turned around to open another volume. One volume after another was opened, and all the paintings on it were of him.
Laughing, frowning, crying, sad, dazed, playing with briquettes.
There are all kinds of him, from the young and thin at the beginning to the adult appearance now.
But no matter what it looks like, the self in the painting is the best that I can't imagine.
It turned out that in Xiao Huaian's eyes, he had always been so beautiful.
