The night of the ninth day.
The princess's mansion suddenly became busy because the princess was about to give birth.
The servants in the mansion were coming in and out of a large house.
A few people bumped into each other in a panic, spilling the hot water in the basin all over the floor, which earned them a scolding from the housekeeper.
"You clumsy thing, clean it up quickly."
“Yes, yes.”
Different from the busyness here, there were two idle people sitting on the roof not far away.
It was Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao.
They came here specifically to see the results.
But unlike Yu Jiuchen, this was the first time that Su Changzhao left Sixingjian.
She was very afraid of being discovered, so after thinking it over, she decided to back out and stood up to look for a way down.
"Where are you going?" Yu Jiuchen asked her.
"I...I think it's better for me to go back and wait for news."
"Stop, I'm already here."
Yu Jiuchen grabbed him and sat back in his original position.
Su Changzhao seemed even more embarrassed.
It seemed to soothe her anxious mood.
Yu Jiuchen put his big hand on the back of her hand and patted it.
"Don't be afraid, no one will find us."
He pointed downward with his chin.
"Look, the Princess's mansion is already very busy. Everyone's attention is on the Princess's birth, no one will notice us."
After hearing what he said, Su Changzhao felt a little better.
She turned her head and stared at the people around her: "Do you do this often?
Yu Jiuchen didn't react for a moment, "You mean climbing the roof?"
Su Changzhao nodded speechlessly.
"Haha," Yu Jiuchen suddenly laughed, but he didn't laugh very loudly, just showing a row of white teeth.
Looks clean and crisp.
"Don't you want to tell anyone?"
Su Changzhao thought: Who should I tell? You are the only one I know.
The next second, Yu Jiuchen also reacted.
"Sorry, I forgot I'm your only friend."
After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was not right, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to mock you."
"I know you're just telling the truth. So just admit it, breaking into other people's homes and climbing on roofs is something you do often, right?
"Haha, not really. It's just that occasionally, I can't help but come over to see the results."
"Are you talking about the results of your divinations for others?"
"Yes. Because I am the eldest brother, my words and deeds are role models for my junior brothers and sisters. Sometimes I want to chat and laugh with people like this, but it is difficult to do it in front of others. But I am also a human being, and I also have doubts about my divination.
Whenever I can’t sit still, I come over to see the results myself.”
Seeing Su Changzhao’s lips lengthened.
Yu Jiuchen couldn't help but ask, "Are you laughing?"
"No."
"You're still saying no, but the corners of your mouth are all upturned."
"Haha." Su Changzhao finally couldn't hold it back.
But after she laughed for a while, Yu Jiuchen suddenly covered her mouth.
Before Su Changzhao could react, two maids came over from below.
"Did you hear that?"
"You heard that, too?"
"It seemed like someone was talking just now."
"Yes, but there is no one here."
"That's right. Now everyone is surrounding the princess's house. There's no one around here."
The two maids understood each other tacitly, and their eyes were filled with "seeing a ghost".
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Wait until they leave.
Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao smiled at each other.
Just at this moment.
A baby crying was heard from the big house opposite.
Yu Jiuchen said: "It is now three quarters past ten! The baby is born!"
You can tell it's a boy by the sound of the cry.
Sure enough, the midwife's voice of congratulations came from the room.
"It's a young master! It's a young master!"
But then another cry was heard in the house.
"There's another one, there's another one...a girl, she's a rich girl!"
The county horse who was anxiously waiting outside the door heard two pieces of good news in a row.
Then came the servants' congratulations to him.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the princess, on the birth of the dragon and phoenix!"
The county horse was happy: "Reward! Everyone will get a reward! Hahaha..."
As he said this, he rushed into the house to see the princess and the child.
At this time, the roof opposite was also empty.
·
Since the result has come out, there is no need for Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao to stay any longer.
The two returned to Sixingjian.
At the time of parting, Yu Jiuchen told Su Changzhao.
"What did I say? Do you believe you are awesome now?"
"No, no, no, I was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse."
"Don't underestimate yourself. Excessive modesty is arrogance."
"..." Su Changzhao didn't know what to say: "Will you stop being friends with me because you lost?"
"Hahaha...do you think I'm such a stingy person?"
“…”Su Changzhao lowered his head uncertainly.
Because when she was very young, she also competed with others.
Of course she won in the end, but at that time, the loser seemed very devastated and insisted that she cheated.
They were having a pretty good time.
I didn't expect that a rift would arise just because of a competition.
Yu Jiuchen was a friend she had made with great difficulty, and she didn't want to lose him just like that.
"Don't worry. I don't know about others, but for me, I feel honored to find someone who is equal to me or even better than me. I can learn more from you and it will help me grow."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah~"
Yu Jiuchen suddenly scratched Su Changzhao's nose.
Although the nose was bandaged.
But Su Changzhao's heart still skipped a beat at his intimate behavior.
"So to celebrate your victory over the eldest disciple of Si Xing Jian, let's meet at our old place tomorrow. I will give you a gift."
"What is it?" Su Changzhao couldn't wait to know.
Yu Jiuchen pretended to be mysterious: "Keep it a secret for now, you can only know when you come tomorrow."
“…”
·
And so it happened, the next night.
Su Changzhao managed to endure for a day, and at night, Yin Jingyue came again.
But there seems to be a lot going on in the palace recently.
Yin Jingyue stayed with her for a short while and then left.
She had the chance to slip out.
Cangxing Pavilion has been occupied by other disciples recently.
Therefore, the place that Yu Jiuchen agreed with her could only be the Observatory.
When Su Changzhao looked over, he saw the man in blue clothes already waiting there.
"You're here?"
Yu Jiuchen came forward with a smile.
Su Changzhao also glanced at him, and then began to search around him.
Yu Jiuchen smiled, knowing that she was looking for a gift.
"Are you looking for this thing?"
Yu Jiuchen took out a cloth bag from behind him.
Su Changzhao didn't expect it to be such a big thing.
He took it with both hands and asked expectantly, "What is it?"
"Open it and take a look."
Su Changzhao opened the cloth bag as he was told, and saw a set of clothes and a veil inside.
"What is this?"
Yu Jiuchen smiled: "Something that changes your destiny."
