Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 418 A caring person

  Zhu Houzhao was happy, and he was very happy. He really never thought that there would be such a coincidence.

  I came back after a long journey, and I was worried about my sister's birthday, and I couldn't explain it.

  My sister is in the palace all year round, everyone is a lady, the palace is a paradise after all, if I take some jewels, I am afraid that my sister will not look down on her.

   But if it is a plaything outside the palace, not to mention whether the girl likes it or not, even if she likes it, the father, queen and empress will inevitably blame it. They are so big, and they still give the child something.

   This cake is good.

  Delicious and innovative.

   This old Fang is really a lucky star, and he sent a pillow when he fell asleep.

  Zhu Houzhao cheerfully took Fang Jifan's hand, his eyes glowing.

   "Old Fang, you have to help me."

   "Help me for what?" Fang Jifan volunteered, his brother's loyalty was on top, Fang Jifan naturally had nothing to say.

  Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan's straightforward promise, and stopped making rounds, and said directly: "Make cakes, you have to hurry up, and you have to make them before the day after tomorrow, and you have to make them big and big."

  As he spoke, he opened his arms excitedly to make shapes.

  Fang Jifan stared at the excited Zhu Houzhao, and asked lightly.

   "For Her Royal Highness?"

  Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily.

"Of course, the day after tomorrow is my sister's birthday. I have thought about it. This cake is really wonderful as a gift. My sister has always eaten delicious cakes. This cake is so fresh. It's just for her to try it. Isn't it okay to eat it again?" Is it engraved on the top? I have already thought about the words, and the Duke of Zhen Guo presented it to Princess Yongkang, wishing you every year..."

  Fang Jifan waved his hands in disgust: "This is not good."

   "What do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao was upset, showing no sense of loyalty.

  Fang Jifan said: "This is what I said."

   "Huh?" Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan with wide eyes: "I haven't finished talking, why, do you have an idea?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while, then smiled at Zhu Houzhao: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter is on me. Your Highness is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and it just so happens that I am too. Your Highness's sister, I will take care of her." as..."

   "What should I do?" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help becoming vigilant when he agreed so happily, his bright eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight at him.

  Fang Jifan ignored Zhu Houzhao's confusion, but buried his head and spoke lightly.

   "Okay, it's getting late, and we have to hurry up to make the cake. Since it's a gift, we can't be as vague as before."

  Even though Zhu Houzhao was confused, he thought that this was a gift from himself to his sister. There was nothing wrong with Fang Jifan, so naturally he didn't go into it any further, but said cheerfully: "Then let's help."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "What do you know, I can do it alone, don't come here to get in the way."

   Since it is a gift to Her Royal Highness Princess Taikang, of course it cannot be handed over to others.

  Zhu Houzhao is happy again. In fact, Lao Fang is a good person. Although he is a bit lazy, he actually cares about his own affairs.

   What a coincidence.

  He couldn't help but sigh, or else, how could it be fate.

  Fang Jifan spent a full day in the kitchen, and when he came out, he was already sweating profusely.

   This is a little bit of my heart for Her Highness the Princess, ah, no, it is the heart of the Crown Prince for Her Highness the Princess. Therefore, extra caution is required.

  Zhu Houzhao danced happily, and two days later, a large cart delivered the huge cake directly to the palace.

  There were no lanterns and festoons in the palace, but in the back garden, it added a sense of joy.

  Empress Dowager Zhou happily looked at the children and grandchildren under her knees, she was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, her face was also brightened, she looked a few years younger than before.

  Her eyes were on Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Xiurong turned back and forth, her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

  Great-grandson Zhu Houzhao, I heard that his father stopped beating him despite his progress recently. This is a happy event.

The great-granddaughter Zhu Xiurong became more and more slim. She took Zhu Xiurong's hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "One year older, okay, okay, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that I'm going to get married, and I don't even know about it. I should hug her." Great-grandson, or great-grandson."

  Zhu Xiurong's face was bright, showing the delicate attitude of a little girl: "Great-grandmother, don't make fun of me."

   "Where is the joke." Zhou said with emotion: "Women, they have to marry, what kind of shameful thing is this, Hou Zhao, you haven't bullied your sister recently, have you?"

   "Nothing." Zhu Houzhao looked aggrieved: "Sun Chen dare not."

"That's good, you guys... Hey... Be harmonious, your father, queen, mother, just you two brothers and sisters, in the future Aijia will go to see Emperor Yingzong, your father, queen, mother will also grow old, we, I don't even think about it, I just hope that you brothers and sisters can get along well, Xiurong, come, put this on."

Mrs. Zhou took a jade bracelet, which was simple and unremarkable, and Mrs. Zhou put it on for her with her own hands: "It was given to Aijia by his mother when Aijia entered the palace. Aijia is nothing A wealthy family, therefore, this bracelet is not a rare item, but Ai's family has always kept it by his side, because, after entering the palace, he has been separated from his natal family since then, and when he is with him, there is a thought Think, now, this bracelet is given to you, so you can wear it."

  Zhu Xiurong nodded: "Yes."

  Emperor Hongzhi sat on the side drinking tea, smiling, looking at this slim daughter, he was also emotional.

  Empress Zhang was sitting on the other side. Seeing Mrs. Zhou giving Zhu Xiurong a bracelet, she hurriedly said, "Just say yes, there are no rules at all, you have to behave like a rite, and you don't want to thank you?"

  Zhu Xiurong was about to thank her, Zhou waved her hand: "Don't have so many vain courtesy, it's too much."

  Zhu Houzhao said with a smile at this time: "Actually, my minister has also prepared a big gift for my sister."

  Zhu Xiurong is not interested, even the bracelet in his hand, as for the gift that Zhu Houzhao said, he has little interest and can't arouse any enthusiasm.

  Now, it is getting late, and the day is about to pass. After a while, this birthday will naturally come to an end.

But…

  Fang Jifan promised the gift, but he has not seen it yet.

  Her heart was a little empty.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhu Xiurong couldn't help thinking, he is a man, it would be inconvenient for him to bring gifts into the palace. of.

   If this is spread, who knows how many discussions it will cause, I am afraid that the father will be unhappy.

  And if Fang Jifan gave himself a gift rashly, it would be detrimental to himself and him.

  After being comforted like this for a while, Zhu Xiurong felt a little better in her heart, but her heart was still a little empty. Even though she was feeling down, she forced a smile to Zhu Houzhao.

   "Ah, but I don't know what kind of gift it is."

  Zhu Houzhao smiled and said excitedly: "You will know it when you see it."

  So he shouted, the eunuchs outside had already made preparations, and after a while, Liu Jin pushed a small cart in. This cart was one meter square, and the top was covered with a curtain, novel and mysterious.

  Everyone became curious.

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Zhu Houzhao a wary look, very worried that Zhu Houzhao would make a fuss again.

   Zhou Shi trembled tremblingly, and said expectantly: "The Ai family also wants to see and see."

  Zhu Houzhao happily opened the curtain.

A huge pastry is right in front of you. The pastry is divided into three layers, like a temple of heaven. The soft cake is covered with a layer of cream. On top of the cream, there are various kinds of fresh fruits. It looks very delicate and the most eye-catching. It's the top layer of the cake. On the cream, there are words engraved on it.

"your happiness is the sun in my world!"

this is…

  Very vulgar eight characters.

  But girls like it.

  Zhu Xiurong was taken aback for a moment, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Did you see, Lao Fang... No, uh, I mean, if you are well, it will be sunny, which means, as long as my sister is well, I am a brother, no matter how windy it is." It rains, no matter it is outside, it is windy and sunny, it is freezing cold, it is raining and snowing, but in my heart, it is like a sunny day, every day, the sun is shining brightly, and my heart is at ease."

  Zhu Houzhao looked at his sister enthusiastically, with a flattered look, and only smiled for Bo's sister, and he could say anything.

   Zhou couldn't help laughing, very disgusting.

  Emperor Hongzhi was also happy, finally...he became normal once again today, um...he looks like an elder brother.

  Empress Zhang chewed on this sentence. These words are actually very straightforward, but they are also quite interesting.

   Zhu Xiurong had a strange feeling when he heard the word Lao Fang and the word goodbye.

"what is this?"

   "The birthday cake is specially prepared for girls. It took a lot of effort. Most importantly, it is delicious."

  Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Bring the knife."

  Liu Jin carefully handed over the dagger, and took another plate, Zhu Houzhao was going to cut it.

  Zhu Xiurong said: "You did this?"

   "..." Zhu Houzhao blushed, and replied very sincerely: "I only ate it."

   "Huh?" Zhu Xiurong stared at Zhu Houzhao intently, as if he was about to know the truth.

  Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I asked Fang Jifan to make it. It's delicious."

   All of a sudden...

  I got it all.

  Zhu Xiurong instantly knew what Fang Jifan's so-called gift was. She stared at the delicate and huge cake in front of her with wide eyes.

   It was a gift from my elder brother, but it was Fang Jifan's kindness.

  Fang Jifan is really smart, Li Daitao is stiff.

   It's a gift, but it's still not insulted.

  The most important thing is that this has become a little secret between Fang Jifan and himself.

   There is also the words on the cake, "If you are well, it will be sunny" What does this mean?

   As long as I'm doing well, will he be happy?

  He is such a caring person.

  Zhu Xiurong smiled instantly, her willow eyebrows were stretched, her eyes were slightly arched like a crescent moon, and her thin lips were slightly raised. This smile is soul-stirring.
