Chapter 241 Yuwen Cheng comes to pick up Chu Huaixu
Yu Youning didn't care about any birthday gifts, but since Huo Qingchen said so, Yu Youning didn't refuse and agreed with a smile, "Okay!"
Huo Qingchen thought that Yu Youning would be unhappy because he didn't prepare a gift, but now he was relieved when he heard Yu Youning agree.
He looked at Chu Huaixu, leaned closer and asked quietly, "Your Highness, have you prepared a birthday present for Youning?"
Chu Huaixu nodded, "Ready."
"What?"
Huo Qingchen's voice suddenly became much louder.
"You knew today was Youning's birthday? Have you already started preparing a birthday present?"
Chu Huaixu nodded again, "Yes!"
Then why didn't you remind me?
These words circled around Huo Qingchen's lips, but were finally suppressed by Huo Qingchen.
You can’t ask that!
And there is Jiang Lingzhou!
Jiang Lingzhou must not be prepared, right?
With this thought in mind, Huo Qingchen followed them out of the yard to wash and change clothes.
When they got together again, they all looked refreshed.
Huo Qingchen immediately ran to Jiang Lingzhou's side.
He hadn't seen Jiang Lingzhou for many days.
He stayed in Qinglong's yard every day to practice martial arts and never came out.
Jiang Lingzhou didn't go with Youning and the others, so naturally there was no chance for them to meet.
I don’t know what Jiang Lingzhou has been busy with recently!
"Jiang Lingzhou, you—"
Huo Qingchen had just said these few words and was interrupted by Jiang Lingzhou before he could continue.
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell Youning!"
Jiang Lingzhou said this and walked towards Yu Youning.
When he arrived in front of Yu Youning, Jiang Lingzhou took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Youning, "Youning, happy birthday!"
Yu Youning took the box with both hands and gave Jiang Lingzhou a bright smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"
"You're welcome."
After Jiang Lingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Yu Youning, who was not much shorter than him, and felt complicated.
He already knew that Yu Youning had unsealed the seal.
Youning is getting more and more powerful!
But it seems....I am getting further and further away from him!
Jiang Lingzhou lowered his eyes, quietly stepped back, and unknowingly retreated to Huo Qingchen's side.
Looking at Huo Qingchen, Jiang Lingzhou suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something to say just now.
"What did you want to tell me just now?" Jiang Lingzhou looked at Huo Qingchen curiously.
Huo Qingchen opened his mouth and asked the question in his mind, the answer to which he already knew, with some difficulty, "Did you know that today is Youning's birthday?"
"Of course I know!" Jiang Lingzhou answered as if it was a matter of course. "I'm Youning's junior brother. I celebrate Youning's birthday every year. How could I not know?"
Huo Qingchen, "..."
You are right!
How could Jiang Lingzhou not know!
So he is the only one who doesn’t know!
Jiang Lingzhou looked at the expression on Huo Qingchen's face and understood what was going on. He raised his hand and gently patted Huo Qingchen's shoulder.
"Don't think too much. Even if you didn't know, Youning wouldn't blame you for not preparing a birthday gift. Youning has seen all kinds of good things since she was a child. She doesn't care about these things at all."
Huo Qingchen didn't say anything.
Yu Youning didn't care, that was Yu Youning's business.
He was not prepared, but it was his own business.
He will definitely remember this day forever and will never forget it in the years to come!
Chu Huaixu also took the box and walked up to Yu Youning. "Youning, this is for you. Happy birthday!"
Yu Youning took the box, eyes full of curiosity, "What's in it? Can I take a look now?"
"sure!"
Yu Youning opened the box and saw a pair of green jingle bracelets inside.
The bracelet is emerald green all over and very transparent, looking like leaves after the rain, very refreshing, very suitable for someone of Yu Youning's age, and does not make her look mature at all.
Not only is the color suitable, but the style is also somewhat different from ordinary jingle bracelets.
Other jingle bracelets are just ordinary bracelets without any carvings.
However, one of the bracelets of this Jingle Bracelet is carved in the shape of a Teng Snake.
You can tell at first glance that it was prepared with care!
Such materials are hard to find, and such carvings are even harder to find.
I don’t know when Chu Huaixu prepared it, but he carries it with him all the time.
The more Yu Youning looked at it, the more she liked it. "Ah Xu, the gift you prepared is really great! I love this bracelet so much!"
Although he said he liked her, his expression became a little lonely.
Seeing Yu Youning's expression, Chu Huaixu was a little worried, "Youning, what's wrong with you?"
"I was just thinking, when I grow up, I won't be able to wear such a beautiful bracelet anymore! What a pity!"
After hearing Yu Youning's explanation, Chu Huaixu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So that’s why!
"Don't worry, Youning. Every year on your birthday, regardless of whether I prepare other gifts or not, I will definitely give you an identical but larger bracelet so you can wear it all the time!"
"Will that be troublesome?" Yu Youning asked worriedly.
"Of course not!"
"Thank you, Xu!"
"Youning, you don't have to thank me."
While the two were talking, no one else said anything and just watched quietly.
After both of them finished talking, Yu Youning put the bracelet on her wrist.
The emerald green jingle bracelet hanging on her fair wrist complements the other and looks particularly beautiful.
As she moved, the two bracelets collided with each other, making a tinkling sound, crisp and pleasant.
The Jingle Bracelet got its name from this.
Because it was Yu Youning's birthday and they had to leave Penglai Island the next day, everyone gathered together that night and chatted until very late.
Yu Youning has been eating all the time.
She said that after leaving Penglai Island, she wouldn’t be able to eat fresh seafood for a long time, so she must eat more!
If Chu Huaixu didn't know Yu Youning's appetite, he would have stopped her long ago.
Fortunately, Yu Youning still had some sense and stopped eating when the party was about to end.
She pulled Chu Huaixu, Huo Qingchen and Jiang Lingzhou and climbed onto the roof.
Lying on the roof and looking at the stars, it seems that I am closer to the starry sky.
"The last time we watched the stars together was in Nanzhao!" Yu Youning said with emotion, "I've discovered that the stars you see are different when you watch them in different places!"
Huo Qingchen opened his eyes wide and stared at the stars in the sky without blinking. After looking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was different.
"What's the difference? Why can't I see it?"
Chu Huaixu said softly, "Because the people who look at the stars are different."
Yu Youning didn't say anything else, as if he agreed with Chu Huaixu's explanation.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone boarded the boat.
When I got on the boat again, my mood was completely different from when I came here.
I came here feeling relaxed, comfortable and curious.
But now I have to go back. Besides the feeling of loss and reluctance, there is also the uneasiness about the unknown.
On the way back, we passed through the windy and rainy area as usual.
But with the experience from the previous time, no one was afraid even though the boat was shaking as if it was about to capsize.
As it turned out, it was indeed passed without any danger.
After having lunch on the boat, they finally reached the shore near dark.
Chu Huaixu was stunned as soon as he walked out of the cabin.
Seeing Chu Huaixu suddenly stop, Yu Youning was a little surprised, "A Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Huaixu looked towards the distance, "I think I saw...Yuwencheng."
"Yuwencheng?" Yu Youning was puzzled. "Who is it?"
"It's the Sima of the Capital's Patrol Division, Lord Yuwen."
Yu Youning suddenly realized, "So it's him! Shouldn't he be in the capital? How could he be here?"
As he said this, Yu Youning also looked in the direction Chu Huaixu was looking.
Yu Youning had good eyesight and saw Yuwen Cheng at a glance.
"It really is Lord Yuwen!"
Huo Qingchen also saw it and expressed his guess, "The Emperor or the Empress must have asked him to wait here!"
"Let's go and take a look first!"
Chu Huaixu said this and took the lead to get off the boat.
Yuwen Cheng had also seen them and was running towards this side excitedly with his men.
As soon as he came over, Yuwen Cheng was so excited that he wanted to kneel on the ground, but was stopped by Chu Huaixu with a look.
Although it was almost dark, there were still many people and boats at the pier.
Yu Wencheng's kneeling would probably attract everyone's attention and would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Yuwen Cheng also understood what Chu Huaixu meant and suppressed the urge to kneel down, but his expression was still very excited.
"Your Highness... Young Master, the Master and Madam are very worried about you, so they asked me to wait here with my men."
Chu Huaixu nodded, "How long have you been here?"
"It's been ten days since I arrived."
"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's rest tonight and leave for the capital early tomorrow morning."
Yuwen Cheng was worried that Chu Huaixu was unwilling to go back, but now when he heard Chu Huaixu take the initiative to say that he wanted to go back, he was almost crying with joy.
"Okay, okay! Master and Madam will definitely be very happy when they find out. I will send a letter back tonight so they can prepare."
Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.
Yu Tingwan watched this scene from the side and felt very emotional.
During this period, Chu Huaixu behaved like an ordinary child from a wealthy family.
But the prince is the prince, and his habits and temperament will not disappear.
Soon a carriage came to pick them up and took them back to the inn.
After a whole day on the boat, we were all very tired. After having dinner together, we went back to our rooms to rest.
Yuwen Cheng followed Chu Huaixu back to the room. As soon as the door closed, Yuwen Cheng knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince!"
"Master Yuwen, please get up." Chu Huaixu said calmly, "What happened in the capital during my absence?"
"Nothing major has happened in the capital... However, Marshal Wen led his troops to war a while ago..."
