Yes, what is she afraid of?
Yuan Yao asked herself this question in her heart.
With that question, she found the answer...
Yuan Yao looked at the Ninth Prince and said earnestly, "Father, whatever decision you make, please tell Yao'er first."
Yao'er has grown up and is no longer a little child who needs her father's protection in everything.
And, Father, no matter what happens, please don't abandon Yao'er..."
She choked up slightly as she spoke her last sentence.
What she feared most was leaving her father...
Looking at Yuan Yao's clear, bright eyes, the Ninth Prince sighed softly in his heart: "Alright, Father promises you."
"You're not lying to me?" Yuan Yao asked.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not lying to you."
Yuan Yao pointed to the black iron box: "Then, these things..."
The old man's narrow eyes held a smile: "Father, take back the things."
As Xiao Yao'er said, from now on, your father will send you a gift every year on your birthday.
Yuan Yao then smiled again.
She glanced at the night sky and said happily, "Father, Yao'er has come of age and is now an adult. Can I drink alcohol now?"
"How about Father keeps Yao'er company for a drink tonight?"
The Ninth Prince lightly flicked her forehead: "Go get the bar."
Yuan Yao happily went to the wine cellar.
Considering that the Ninth Prince had already drunk a lot, she took a jar of rose rice wine back to the Moonflower Palace.
When she returned to Yuehua Palace, the Ninth Prince had already finished bathing and was lying on his side on the bed with his eyes closed, wearing a soft and smooth red undergarment.
The ends of her hair, clinging to the edge of the bed, were still dripping water.
Dressed in red, his fair complexion stood out against his jade-like skin. His already stunningly handsome face, with the passage of time, had lost some of its aloofness and gained a touch of gentleness…
Time, indeed, cannot defeat beauty.
Yuan Yao gently put down the wine, took a clean, thin blanket, went around behind the Ninth Prince, grabbed his hair, and gently wiped it.
After drying her hair, she muttered, "Daddy, you're always like this. You wash your hair and then leave it dripping wet without doing anything about it."
The Ninth Prince, without opening his eyes, said, "I am sleepy..."
"Even if you're sleepy, you can't sleep with wet hair!" Yuan Yao said irritably.
The Ninth Prince's voice had a slight nasal tone: "Don't worry about it, it'll dry on its own..."
Looks like I'm really sleepy.
You promised to drink with her...
Never mind, let's do it another day!
Yuan Yao said softly, "Shadow."
A tall, dark figure silently landed beside the bed.
Yuan Yao said, "I'm entrusting Father to you now!"
It's almost late autumn, and the nights in Beijing are already getting cool.
The Ninth Prince was too tired; he had just finished bathing, and his hair was still wet.
Sleeping like this makes it easy to catch a cold.
At this moment, it would be very necessary to use internal energy to dry his hair and warm his body...
This kind of work, of course, still needs to be done by filmmakers.
Ying nodded: "Princess, please go and rest."
"Then I'll head back to Yaofeng Palace first?" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Ying nodded.
Yuan Yao put away the wine and closed the door of Yuehua Palace before leaving.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Yuan Yao happily stepped into Yaofeng Palace. As soon as she closed the door and turned around, she saw a shadow so dark that it almost blended into the night.
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt her face getting hot.
She coughed lightly: "Yun Chan, what brings you here?"
Moreover, he was dressed as a bodyguard...
However, he had already removed the black mist from his face.
The black color made his already pale face appear even whiter, almost as if it were glowing...
Yun Chan strode over, stopped three steps away from her, and handed her a long box.
"What is this?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.
Yun Chan smiled slightly: "It's a coming-of-age gift for you."
Coming-of-age ceremony?
Yuan Yao chuckled, "Yun Chan, do you know how much I received today? My hands are sore from all the gifts!"
"They are them, and I am me." Yun Chan's eyes shone brightly as she asked calmly, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"
dismantle!
Of course, dismantle it!
However, Yuan Yao's hands were shaking slightly.
For some reason, she felt a little nervous.
Mingming had long since gotten used to receiving all sorts of gifts over the years...
Yuan Yao coughed lightly and reached out to lift the lid.
The fingertip, unintentionally, brushed against Yun Chan's fingers.
Yun Chan's hand trembled, and the tips of her ears turned red.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She pretended nothing had happened and lifted the lid.
As soon as the wooden box lid was opened, a kingfisher feather hairpin with two phoenixes holding pearls in its beak was revealed.
The hairpin is exquisite and delicate, with gorgeous kingfisher feathers, a glittering gold shaft, and a crystal-clear agate accent. The pearl in the center is even more dazzling...
Yuan Yao was surprised and amazed.
Why did Yun Chan give her a hairpin?
And it looks so expensive...
Suddenly, Yun Chan asked, "Do you like it?"
His usually aloof eyes, now reflected in the candlelight, were filled with boundless tenderness.
Yuan Yao nodded: "I like it!"
I love it!
Looking at the girl with a slightly flushed face and a joyful expression, Yun Chan's eyes softened.
He picked up the hairpin and gently pinned it to Yuan Yao's newly styled hair bun: "If you like it, wear it from now on."
Yuan Yao's face flushed slightly: "Mmm..."
As if by magic, Yun Chan picked up another food box: "The moon is beautiful tonight, shall I take you to admire it?"
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Mmm!"
Night had fallen.
The palace servants had already retired for the night.
Yun Chan wrapped his long arms around Yuan Yao and pulled her into his embrace. They found a rooftop and set out wine and food there.
The wind was a bit strong on the roof, so Yun Chan specially brought a cloak for Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao wrapped her cloak tighter and sat down side by side with Yun Chan.
The silvery moonlight poured down like flowing water.
The entire capital was shrouded in a soft mist, and scattered lights illuminated the night...
Tonight, both the moonlight and the night sky are beautiful.
Before she knew it, Yuan Yao had drunk quite a bit.
Once I drink too much, I completely black out.
The next day.
When the sun was high in the sky, Yuan Yao slowly awoke.
"Awake?" The voice of the Ninth Prince came from above.
Yuan Yao rubbed her eyes, her voice hoarse: "Father..."
"Does your head hurt?" asked the Ninth Prince.
"It hurts..." Yuan Yao said coquettishly.
The Ninth Prince lightly flicked her forehead: "You know it hurts? Will you dare to drink so much next time?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
oh……
She remembered!
Last night, she drank with Yun Chan!
The wine Yun Chan brought was sweet and delicious, and she drank too much of it.
Thank goodness!
Fortunately, the person she was drinking with was Yun Chan!
If it were someone else, wouldn't it be very dangerous for her to be in this state?
The Ninth Prince handed over a cup of water: "Here, drink this honey water."
Yuan Yao felt weak and tired all over, and her head was a little dizzy, so she said in a coquettish tone, "Father, feed Yao'er."
"You little dumpling!" The Ninth Prince lightly flicked her forehead with his other hand: "Are you still a three-year-old?"
Yuan Yao said coquettishly, "Whatever age Father says Yao'er is, that's how old Yao'er is."
The Ninth Prince was both amused and exasperated.
After personally feeding Yuan Yao the honey water, the Ninth Prince asked, "Did Yun Chan come last night?"
Yuan Yao's eyes widened.
She quickly explained, "Father, please don't misunderstand! Yun Chan and I didn't do anything!"
The Ninth Prince raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you sure?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
Originally, she was quite certain.
But when the Ninth Prince asked that question, she suddenly became uncertain...
The Ninth Prince suddenly chuckled softly.
Yuan Yao's brow twitched: "Father, what's wrong?"
The Ninth Prince flicked her forehead with his finger: "I heard that the one from Fangfei Palace was trying to kill herself early this morning."
I thought you had done something.
Yuan Yao: "???"
The one from Fangfei Palace?
Jiang Lanyue?
Yuan Yao asked in surprise, "What happened to Jiang Lanyue?"
