"I..." Fu Tong'er pursed her lips. "I don't really like the sudden appearance of more living creatures. I'm happy to have your Ninth Prince accompany me here. You can take this parrot. Thank you for your kindness."
Lu Zhenzhi laughed dryly: "He plotted against your man's life, and you're still thanking him."
Fu Tong'er: "You, please stop doing this, it makes me so nervous... so scared."
Fu Tong'er spoke the last three words in a very low voice.
"I can't see at all, you, you..."
Lu Zhenzhi grabbed the parrot from her hand and returned it to Lu Qixuan. He then leaned back on the stone table and gently pressed Fu Tonger's head into his arms: "Oh, little girl..."
King Hui said, "I at least remember that your nineteenth birthday is coming soon. Has the Ninth Prince mentioned your birthday? Does he have any plans for you?"
Fu Tong'er leaned in Lu Zhenzhi's arms, her white silk fluttering in the wind. After a while, she murmured and smiled, "He made me a promise."
"Promise?" King Hui was stunned at first, then laughed. "What's the point of a promise? Aren't you too naive?"
"Do you want to hear it, Your Highness?" Fu Tong'er listened to Lu Zhenzhi's steady heartbeat, and her heart gradually calmed down. Although she couldn't see Jiu Ye, she could feel it.
"This king," Lu Qixuan glanced at his Ninth Uncle and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, tell me, this king wants to see what promise the Ninth Uncle made to you that will allow you to not mind him forgetting your birthday."
Fu Tong'er smiled in the wind: "He said that after returning to Beijing..."
She didn't say anything else, but just leaned on Lu Zhenzhi's chest and smiled sweetly. This time, she really closed her eyes and wanted to sleep.
"What about after we return to Beijing? Tong'er, can you please finish what you have to say?" Lu Qixuan became anxious when he heard this. He was so young and couldn't control his temper.
"I won't tell you. This is a secret between him and me. Slightly..."
Lu Zhenzhi scratched her nose.
Lu Qixuan chuckled. "Secret? Tong'er, there are no secrets between you. Your so-called secrets are all lies told to you by the Ninth Prince. Tong'er, the Ninth Prince has already sent a letter with the title of Regent Princess to Miss Mu San of the Dingnan Marquis's Mansion. Mu Yingge, are you aware of this?"
Fu Tong'er was stunned and opened her eyes out of habit, but it was still dark.
She sat up from Lu Zhenzhi's arms and said in a bad tone, "Take your bird back. I'm not bored. Your Ninth Prince accompanies me whenever he's free. Besides being busy with official business, he spends the rest of his time with me."
Lu Qixuan snorted and laughed. "You can't see, so how do you know where the Ninth Prince goes when he's not with you? Today, the annual Wanhua Festival is being held in Shangyang County. I'll take you out to see it, or rather, to experience it. It's quite lively."
"No matter how lively it is," Fu Tong'er said, "it's useless if your Ninth Prince is not by my side. Also, you don't have to repeatedly emphasize to me that I'm blind. I know I can't see. And don't take this opportunity to sow discord between him and me."
"He wants to marry Tong'er."
"He said he can't." Fu Tong'er had already pulled her hand out to touch the Soul-Breaking Whip.
Prince Hui said, "Ninth Uncle, didn't you tell her that you were marrying Princess Dingnan Tingyang on the first day of May? What's the point of you holding her on your lap like this?"
Fu Tong'er smiled faintly, stood up and turned her back to King Hui: "I thought you really came here to celebrate my birthday today. I thought that even if you remembered the date wrong, as long as your heart is good, it's okay. So, you came all the way to tell me that your ninth uncle is going to marry another woman on my birthday! Great! I believe you again! You two uncle and nephew are very good friends!"
As Fu Tong'er spoke, she touched the Soul-Breaking Whip and pulled it with both hands with a snap!
"Even though I can't see anymore, I can still beat people up!!"
