The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhou Shiyue stretched out his hand in front of Lu Zhaoling.

In his hand, there was a box as big as his palm.

Just looking at the box is eye-catching, because the whole box is made of gold, carved with diamond patterns, inlaid with gems and glass beads, and it is glittering and golden.

"Happy birthday." Zhou Shiyue said again.

Lu Zhaoling was stunned.

She thought that the monkey lantern in her hand was a birthday gift.

Zhou Shiyue took the monkey lamp with his other hand and held it next to his cheek. The warm light shone on his face, giving it a layer of warm luster and making his eyes sparkle.

"Just think of it as me. This is the real birthday present."

He brought the box closer.

Seeing that the senior sister was still in a daze, Yin Yunting patted her lightly.

Lu Zhaoling then came to his senses and took the box from Zhou Shiyue's hand.

Quite heavy.

"Open it and take a look." Zhou Shiyue said softly.

Lu Zhaoling opened the exquisite golden box and saw what was inside.

It was a comb made of white jade inlaid with gold.

comb?

This comb is extremely valuable. The white jade teeth are polished very smoothly and feel soft to the touch. The decoration on the back of the comb is extremely valuable.

"Giving a comb as a gift, could it be a symbol of growing old together and being together forever?" Yin Yunting looked at Zhou Shiyue.

He thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin would always be a chatterbox. After all, the Prince of Jin had been enjoying teasing Xiao Lingzi for so long, which was not serious at all.

Now I have given you such a serious gift.

"Yeah." Zhou Shiyue nodded, "Did Junior Brother Yin give it to someone else?"

Yin Yunting: "...Don't worry, I have never given a comb to Senior Sister."

Lu Zhaoling's face rarely turned red.

She looked at the box and the comb and couldn't let them go.

Gold is heavy and gems are dazzling.

The diamond flowers are very beautiful.

"How do you know my birthday?" she asked, looking at Zhou Shiyue.

"Is it hard to know? It's in the marriage certificate." Zhou Shiyue poked her forehead lightly with his finger. "Silly."

Yin Yunting felt a little upset.

He stroked his forehead and sighed.

This sour smell of love is really unbearable. Otherwise, he should go horseback riding from tomorrow.

Zhou Shiyue said to Lu Zhaoling again, "Would you like to come down and take a walk? We don't want to travel tonight."

They had been traveling for such a long time, and Lu Yiyi had never complained, but today was her birthday, so she should at least be able to take a break.

Lu Zhaoling turned around and glanced at Yin Yunting.

In the past, she had always celebrated her birthday with her fellow junior fellow students. This was the first time that someone else had prepared a birthday surprise for her and wanted to take her out.

Yin Yunting met her questioning look and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Although Xiao Lingzi always thought that having them was enough for her, in fact, they have always been her only ones, and she has always been protecting them.

This was the first time in all these years that she had a different way of celebrating her birthday.

"Big sister, please go with the prince." He smiled at her gently, "See if the prince has any more surprises for you."

Their master's birthday celebrations for her have never been innovative.

"Junior Brother Yin, Qingfeng will take you to the inn." Zhou Shiyue said to Yin Yunting.

"it is good."

Lu Zhaoling put her hand on Zhou Shiyue's hand and was helped out of the carriage by him.

Zhou Shiyue took her hand and led her into the street full of lanterns.

At this moment, some people finally came out on both sides of the street, and gradually the scene of people coming and going returned to normal.

They also looked at the colorful lanterns on both sides with surprise.

"Why are there so many lanterns?"

"They are all tied to poles in strings first, and when the time comes, people will set them up at the same time. When the lanterns are being set up, Qing Xiao and his men will ask people on the street to step aside for a moment." Zhou Shiyue was walking down the street holding Lu Zhaoling's hand, and knowing that she was also a little confused, he explained in a low voice.

"As for how to get people to avoid us, it's also simple. Just give out snacks on another street without asking for money. When people hear the news, they go to get the snacks."

The moment he wanted to let Lu Zhaoling enter the city gate, all the lanterns on the street were lit up for her alone.

Only after she had looked at it did she allow others to enjoy the lanterns.

"We are always on the road, how do you have time to arrange all this?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Qing Xiao and his men arrived first. I had people prepare the lanterns long ago. This time, the Sun family also helped."

The Sun family had a business that stocked all kinds of lanterns. Zhou Shiyue had talked to Sun Yanyan in advance and bought out all the lanterns. The Sun family sent people to help with the arrangement and lighting of the lanterns.

"I made this lantern myself." Zhou Shiyue raised the monkey lantern again. He looked at Lu Zhaoling and smiled, "There has to be a special one, right?"

When you say special, doesn't that mean she is a monkey?

Lu Zhaoling snorted.

However, now strolling on such a beautiful street with lanterns, she really couldn't get angry.

"During a major funeral, who would dare to bring out so many colorful lanterns?"

She heard someone asking quietly beside her.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue was very calm, "The old man is not completely dead, and my brother often hears him in his dreams, so it doesn't matter if I violate this little taboo."

If you don’t believe it, call the old man out and ask him if he has any objections.

How dare he have an opinion?

"If the emperor finds out, or the censor hears about it, be careful that he will impeach you again," said Lu Zhaoling.

Zhou Shiyue curled his lips, "It's not like I haven't been impeached before. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, it will be fine."

Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but be amused by him.

Zhou Shiyue took her by the hand and walked for a while, then entered a restaurant.

He took her to a seat by the lobby window and said, "Sit here and wait for a while."

Lu Zhaoling didn't know what he was going to do.

Sitting here, she could still see the lanterns outside. They were of various shapes and colors, attracting many girls to stop and look. Some children smiled as brightly as they looked at the lanterns, which made people feel good just by looking at them.

Since coming to Da Zhou, it was the first time that she felt so relaxed and enjoyed the lanterns lit up for her on the streets.

She held her chin and looked outside, feeling quite happy.

After a long while, Zhou Shiyue came.

Lu Zhaoling looked over and saw him coming over with a tray.

It's a bowl of noodles.

The poached egg in clear soup and the plain thin noodles look light and refreshing, with the hot smoke rising up and bringing a fragrant aroma.

"Taste it."

Zhou Shiyue sat down next to her.

Hearing his words, Lu Zhaoling's heart moved, and she couldn't help but look at him, "Don't tell me you did this."

Zhou Shiyue nodded.

"I did it. I learned it from Aunt Liu."

Aunt Liu, the Aunt Liu from Huaiyuan?

"Your junior sister probably can't keep a secret, so I didn't ask her." Zhou Shiyue said again.

Lu Zhaoling was truly stunned.

Where did he get the time?

When did you learn it?

"Zhou Shiyue..." Lu Zhaoling called his name, and her voice and tone unconsciously became softer.
