Chen Jingxi smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there."

Chu Jinghuai lowered the curtain and looked at her thoughtfully.

The carriage sped all the way from the north of the city to the center of the city, and then to the south of the city.

Finally, the carriage stopped.

Chu Jinghuai looked at the old store, a little confused, "Is this where you want to bring me?"

Chen Jingxi smiled without saying anything and gently pushed the door open. A noisy sound instantly came from inside the door. Chu Jinghuai looked closely and saw that the store was full of people, drinking and chatting, looking very comfortable.

"Your Highness, although this place is simple, the wine is the best in the capital." Chen Jingxi found an empty seat and sat down, asking the boss to serve some wine.

After a while, the wine was served. Chu Jinghuai took a sip, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "It's really a good wine."

"The roast lamb here is the best in Beijing. We also have steamed duck with fermented rice wine and almond tofu..."

Chen Jingxi talked endlessly about food, and Chu Jinghuai listened to her while drinking.

Soon, the roasted lamb was served, and the aroma of the meat was very appetizing.

…

At night, Chen Jingxi stood up and walked out of the tavern a little unsteadily.

Chu Jinghuai looked at the slightly drunk Chen Jingxi, shook his head, and followed her.

Chen Jingxi pointed to the Guanyan Pagoda not far away and said, "Jinghuai, I want to see the entire capital."

"Now?"

Chen Jingxi nodded, "But I don't want to climb up, you carry me."

Chu Jinghuai: "..."

In the end, Chu Jinghuai had no choice but to bend down under her coercion and inducement.

There are many lanterns hanging under the Guanyan Pagoda, lighting up the entire tower like daylight.

There were also lanterns hanging inside the tower, which was obviously prepared in advance.

After climbing to the seventh floor in one breath, Ling Ying was slightly out of breath. He asked softly, "Han Yu, why did the princess let the prince carry her up such a high tower in the middle of the night, just to see the night view of the capital?"

"you guess."

"Could it be that the princess is still angry with the prince and is deliberately torturing him?"

Han Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is after midnight?"

Ling Ying was confused for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She covered her mouth excitedly and said in a low voice, "I understand. The princess is really too thoughtful, but it's a bit tiring for the prince."

After reaching the top of the tower, Chu Jinghuai put Chen Jingxi down. He held onto a pillar beside him, his legs shaking.

"Wow...it's so beautiful." Although it was night, the capital city was still brightly lit.

Chu Jinghuai looked at her, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"My Lord, are you okay?"

Chu Jinghuai walked over and put his cloak on Chen Jingxi.

Chunmei, who was inside the tower, looked at the two people standing side by side at the railing outside the tower and felt very happy.

He lit the candle on the longevity peach and handed it to Chen Jingxi, then left.

"Happy birthday, Chu Jinghuai."

Chu Jinghuai stood there straight, lost in thought. He stared at the smiling face in the candlelight for a long time without saying a word.

Chen Jingxi smiled a little embarrassedly, pointed at the birthday peach and said, "Hurry up and blow out the candles and make a wish."

Chu Jinghuai said nothing and followed her instructions.

"This is something the cook and I made together, although it's a little... well, special."

Chu Jinghuai took one look at the black peach with a piece of sweet potato peel stuck on it and couldn't help but laugh. He said gently, "It doesn't matter. As long as it's a gift from you, I like it."

"From now on, I will celebrate your birthday with you every year."

Chu Jinghuai nodded and smiled.

"Princess, the time has come." Steward Wu shouted at the top of his voice from under the tower.

Chen Jingxi shouted to the crowd below, "Light it up."

After receiving the order, more than a dozen servants acted together.

After a loud "bang", colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire area around Guanyan Pagoda.

In the palace, the emperor, who was drinking to drown his sorrows, heard the noise and shouted angrily, "Where did that sound come from?"

The eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, it's...it's over at the Wild Goose Pagoda. Someone is setting off fireworks."

"Asshole, are you trying to rebel? Arrest them all!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The eunuch rolled out of the Jinque Palace and sighed. Who was so blind to have such bad luck?
