045 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” birthday

Yan Zhaozhao would not refuse him, so she allowed Xie Ciyan to carry her out of the tent.

There was no one outside the tent, only the branches on the trees swayed lonely in the cold wind.Xie Ciyan carried her and walked all the way out. Seeing that he was gradually moving away from the camp, Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but raised his head and asked softly: “Where are you going?”

The corners of Xie Ciyan’s mouth curled deeper, and his tone was a little teasing, “Are you in such a hurry?” He walked to his horse, lifted the person in his arms, and placed him safely on the horse’s back.Immediately, he stepped on the pedals, turned over neatly on the horse, and sat behind Yan Zhaozhao, tightening the reins with his arms around her.

The two of them had even done more intimate things, so Yan Zhaozhao didn’t feel that there was any difference in their actions at this moment.There was a heavy cloud hiding in her heart, which could not be shaken off or wiped away. It only made people more worried.She lost the manners she had when she was a queen. She relaxed her back and leaned against Xie Ciyan’s chest. Her voice was more relaxed and carefree, “No need to worry, not at all.”

As he got closer, Yan Zhaozhao’s breath was filled with his unique and refreshing fragrance, like noble white snow. It seemed that as long as she was by this man’s side, she could be her original self without any scruples.Without the burden of a queen, she didn’t have to wake up to worry about whether others would harm her silently. The hairpins on her head that symbolized her status seemed to be a shackle that constrained her to behave in a good way. As long as she had the hairpins on her head, she had to be careful about her words and actions. Every day in the harem seemed like she had never lived for herself.

There was a whistling wind in his ears, and Xie Ciyan pulled the reins and ran in unknown direction. The surroundings were very dark, and Yan Zhaozhao, who had never been here before, couldn’t recognize where this place was.Until the sound of “hoo” fell from his mouth, the black horse underneath him heard the sound and remained motionless, very well-behaved.

Xie Ciyan dismounted first and then carefully picked her up, letting her feet land firmly on the ground.For a moment, without giving her a chance to ask him where he was, Lingnuo naturally took her hand and walked step by step into the dense bamboo forest.

There was silence all around, with only the bleak sound of insects chirping, and darkness that could not be seen clearly. Only a sliver of moonlight hanging in the night sky dimly illuminated the path underfoot.A cool wind blew in my face, carrying a little bit of mist, and there was still a hint of refreshing breath in the air.

Walking to the end, there is a flat mirror-like lake surface. The stars and moon are reflected in the center of the lake, like a bright silver sea, with sparkling waves, like an intoxicating beauty.

There was a small boat docked by the lake, and Xie Ciyan took her to the lake.She got on the boat first, then turned around and picked up Yan Zhaozhao easily and landed her firmly on the boat, without even a corner of her clothes getting wet.

“How can there be a boat here?” Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but her eyes lit up. When she was in the boudoir, she never left the front door or took a step forward. After entering the palace, she rarely left Fengyi Palace. She had never tried boating on the lake like this.

Seeing her smile, Xie Ciyan had a smile in his eyes, “I am preparing to go boating on the lake with you.” He knew that she was unhappy, and as early as the first day he came to the hunting ground, he had someone prepare a boat here.”This lake is called Jingting Lake, and it is the most beautiful place in this hunting ground. It’s just that the ministers and ladies who came here came here just to shine in the hunting ground, so it is a pity that no one cares about this place.”

As he finished speaking, Xie Ciyan also stopped rowing, and the boat stopped in the middle of the lake.He sat in front of Yan Zhaozhao, and then blew out the fire stick in his hand for lighting. There was no light around him, and even the face of the person in front of him could only be seen in outline.Yan Zhaozhao was a little afraid of the dark, and subconsciously raised her hand to grab it.”What, what’s wrong?”

There was a sudden warmth in the palm of the hand, and Xie Ci came over it and clasped it tightly with hers.”Look at the back.” Yan Zhaozhao turned around without doubting his words, and saw little bits of bright green firelight floating faintly from the dense bamboo forest, floating straight towards the center of the lake.

Fireflies brought fireflies to this autumn night, appearing in groups, rising and falling, like moving night pearls. The bright fireflies gradually illuminated the center of the lake, hazy, like stars falling from the sky, falling in front of her eyes.

Yan Zhaozhao only saw a few words about Ye Ying in the travel notes, but she never thought that she would be lucky enough to see it with her own eyes today.She stretched out her hand, spread her palm, and let the flying firefly stay on her palm for a moment, then spread its wings and fly away.”It’s so beautiful…”

Xie Ciyan stared at the sweetheart in front of him with fluorescent eyes, his eyes lingering on her face wantonly under the cover of the night, with a clear smile on his lips.Her willow eyebrows were slightly curved, her twinkling eyes were glowing with fluorescent light, as bright as stars, her fair and flawless skin was also stained with a light and pleasant red, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye made her look stunning. Her red lips were as red as spring without any makeup.

His throat was tight, and the cold wind blowing in the forest was somehow tinged with heat. He was no longer interested in appreciating how beautiful the center of the lake was. He just felt that the most beautiful scenery in the world was right in front of him, and he would never get tired of it even if he watched it for a lifetime.”Zhaozhao.” The man spoke, his voice was hoarse, but with a hint of tenderness.

“Blessed birthday.” In the darkness of the night, Xie Ciyan suddenly said softly.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, and the faint fragrance of albizia was wrapped in the wind. He was looking down at her.When Yan Zhaozhao heard this, she stopped for a moment, turned around and looked up at him, speechless for a moment.

The fifth day of July is her birthday.

It was a birthday that even she had forgotten, but Xie Ciyan actually remembered it.

After entering the palace, although she became a queen, she was neither favored nor respected by the emperor, so she never had a thousand-year-old banquet.She didn’t want to make it public, and gradually no one mentioned her birthday anymore, until finally even she herself forgot when her birthday was.

It’s been a long, long time since she heard anyone say the words “happy birthday” to her.Although it was just the simplest four words, she felt a heavy feeling of being taken into her heart.

“Thank you.” She smiled sweetly, but her mind kept thinking about when Xie Ciyan would be born.For so long, she had never seen Xie Ci Yan’s birthday, and she had never even heard the slightest news about when he was born.”Thank you Ciyan, when is your birthday?”

Xie Ciyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head lightly.”It’s not my birthday.”

“Why?” Yan Zhaozhao’s red lips parted slightly, and she asked that sentence before she even thought about it.Recalling the sadness on his face when he couldn’t tell her his birthday just now, she realized that she seemed to have asked something she shouldn’t have asked. Just when she was about to save him from answering her, Xie Ciyan’s voice came from the night again, with a hint of inconspicuous sadness.

“The third day of the first lunar month.” He paused for a moment before continuing: “It is my birthday and also the death sacrifice of my mother and concubine.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s pupils shrank, and a bit of bitterness suddenly appeared in her mouth, as if at this moment, all the beautiful scenery became a little gloomy.”Thank you…”

Seeing the distressed look on her face, Xie Ciyan’s heart moved slightly and he stretched out his palm towards her.Yan Zhaozhao knew she was in the wrong and felt guilty, so she took his hand without hesitation.Suddenly, Xie Ciyan pulled Yan Zhaozhao up with a sudden tug, spinning around and falling into his arms.

Before Yan Zhaozhao could react, she was already sitting on his lap. She wanted to stand up, but her lower back was already shackled by his big palm, making her unable to move.

Seeing that she couldn’t move, she was not familiar with water, so she didn’t dare to move, so she just sat in his arms.

Xie Ciyan buried his head on the side of her neck, and the scent of the albizia flower became stronger. Even the sadness was infected with this charming scent and dissipated without a trace.But he remained calm and said quietly: “Next time it’s my birthday, will Zhao Zhao celebrate it with me?”

Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t predict what would happen so long ago. It was still unknown what would happen between them, and how she would be able to cope with it easily.But as soon as the words of rejection came to his lips, he remembered the sad look on his eyebrows again, and the words of rejection were instantly choked in his throat, unable to be spoken.

After a long moment of silence, she opened her arms and hugged Xie Ciyan, her voice soft but her eyes firm.”Okay, I’ll stay with you.”

Just let the two people, who no one will celebrate their birthdays for them anymore, celebrate their birthdays together.

Even if it’s just a simple sentence…

Happy birthday.
