April 30th is Chu Yuening's birthday.
But for her, this was a day she had deliberately ignored since childhood.
How could her parents celebrate her birthday if they had no love for her?
Although her grandfather loved her, the concept of birthdays was rare in rural areas.
It wasn't until she was 18 that she bought herself a small cake.
Without the blessings of family and friends, and being alone, the sweet cake is like chewing wax.
Later, Chu Yuening never celebrated her birthday again...
In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat at the top with an indifferent expression.
"Is everything all right?"
"Everything has been arranged according to your majesty's request."
Zhang Han looked respectful, but was shocked inside.
I never thought that His Majesty, who used to be aloof from women and cold and majestic, would be like this now...
"Well, besides, coal mining and transportation are the top priorities right now."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I dare not slack off!"
After discussing some more political affairs, Ying Zheng raised his chin slightly to signal Zhang Han to leave.
At noon, Chu Yuening brought a bowl of rice soup mixed with egg yolks and fed it to Ying Zhao with a spoon.
Now the baby mainly drinks milk powder, but you can gradually add some complementary foods to supplement other nutrients.
"Ahh, ahhh!"
(Mom, it’s delicious!)
"Eat slowly, baby."
Chu Yuening picked up the bib and wiped the stains off the corner of Zizi's mouth.
"Your Highness, please go and have your meal. I will feed the little prince."
The aunt beside her came forward to persuade her.
"No hurry, I'll wait for A Zheng to have dinner together."
After Chu Yuening finished feeding the cub, she wiped his face clean and held him in her arms.
"Baby, you're awesome! You've finished your meal, give your mother a kiss~"
"Aa ...
At this time, Ying Zheng strode into the hall and was a little displeased to see Chu Yuening still taking care of the child.
"Why is Yue Ning waiting for me to eat again?"
"I want to be with A Zheng~"
Chu Yuening looked smart and said coquettishly.
Ying Zheng picked up the kid, stared at his bulging belly, and said softly.
"You're well fed all day long."
“Aiya!”
Ying Zhao felt the increased attention and danced with joy.
"Take the prince down for a nap."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking at his energetic son, Ying Zheng frowned and threw this annoying guy to his aunt.
Chu Yuening smiled as she watched the loving scene between the father and son.
After lunch, Chu Yuening pestered Ying Zheng to rest for a while before going to Zhangtai Palace together.
"A Zheng, the autumn harvest is almost here. We've planted sweet potatoes this year, so I'm sure the people won't go hungry anymore."
Chu Yuening was happy from the bottom of her heart.
At all times, the lower class people have the hardest time.
Aren’t there enough records in history of people cannibalizing their own children due to famine, with corpses strewn everywhere?
Food is the most precious thing to every ordinary person.
"That's right, this is the power of Moon Condensation."
There was tenderness and gratitude in Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes.
No matter how Yue Ning obtained this magical object, everyone in the world, including him, the ruler of the world, should thank her for her selflessness and kindness.
He had experienced the pain of hunger burning in his stomach when he was young and fled, and he could empathize with the common people better than the royal nobles who wanted to eat meat.
"A Zheng also deserves credit. If you hadn't trusted me..."
There was love, admiration and gratitude in Chu Yuening's pair of clear autumn eyes.
She knew that if it were any other emperor, she would most likely face torture or even death.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng simply kissed the girl's face with his thin lips and said nothing more.
Until night fell, Ying Zheng put down the memorial, stood up and picked up Chu Yuening.
"A Zheng, where are you going? Aren't you taking care of business?"
"To dinner."
Chu Yuening was confused when she was suddenly carried like a princess.
Isn’t it usually her who urges A Zheng to have dinner?
When they arrived at Qinian Palace, A Ye and A Hua were teasing Ying Zhao with rattles.
"Aye and Ahua, why are you here?"
Chu Yuening blushed and quickly got down from Ying Zheng's arms.
"Come and celebrate my sister's birthday!"
"We even made a three-tiered birthday cake for my sister!"
As the brother and sister talked, they carefully opened the wooden box on the table.
An exquisite cake covered with snow-white cream and topped with colorful fruits came into Chu Yuening's sight.
"...Thank you."
Chu Yuening choked a little, her eyes red.
"Yuening, this is the longevity noodles I made for you."
Ying Zheng pulled the woman to sit down and placed a bowl of noodles that didn't look very good in front of her.
Chu Yuening, with tears in her eyes, finished the bowl of noodles that was filled with love, bite by bite.
After everyone finished dinner, A Ye couldn't wait to light the candles.
Ah Hua put a wreath on Chu Yuening's head.
"Sister, make a wish and blow out the candles!"
"good."
Chu Yuening closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a silent wish in her heart.
May those whom I cherish be safe and sound and have everything they wish for.
The candles went out and A Ye and A Hua cheered.
"I wish my sister happiness!"
"I wish my sister eternal youth!"
"Yaaaaa!" (Mom is happy!)
"I wish my Yue Ning a long and peaceful life with no worries!"
Chu Yuening was surrounded by sincere and loving blessings. She could no longer hold back her tears.
Ying Zheng hugged his emotionally out-of-control wife and gently wiped her tears.
Although I don’t know why Yue Ning broke down like this on her birthday, I think she must have suffered a lot of grievances in the past.
"Yuening, I will be with you on every birthday from now on."
