"Yes, that's right." Murong Qingli glanced at her kneeling on the ground and spoke lightly.
"Your Majesty, I... thank you for your grace." Princess Kang Jia wiped her tears and thanked him word by word.
"Kangjia, take care of yourself."
"Whether it's him or us, we all hope that you'll be fine."
Si Muqiao walked over, helped her up, and then patted the back of her hand gently.
Once upon a time, this tearful and sad girl in front of me was still innocent, high-spirited and bright.
She appears to be arrogant and domineering, but in fact she is very kind-hearted and not even too smart.
But at that time, she was really free and did whatever she wanted.
Simuqiao was sighing and lamenting, perhaps from today on, there would no longer be Princess Kangjia in the world.
"Thank you very much."
Because it was really late, after Murong Qingli gave the order, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective duties.
Kang Jia also went to the side hall to sleep under the care of Aunt Lan.
"It's late, are you sleepy?"
Murong Qingli asked as they held Si Muqiao's hand and slowly walked towards the cold palace.
"fine."
"By the way, Your Majesty, is everything resolved?"
"Yeah, it's solved."
"Your Majesty." Si Muqiao suddenly stopped and stared at him.
"Um?"
"Happy birthday!"
"Although this blessing is a little late, you must believe that my blessing to you is sincere."
"Well, thank you, I feel it." Murong Qingli nodded, then pulled her into his arms.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, just for a while."
Almost a cup of tea later, he took Si Muqiao's hand again and continued walking forward.
The only difference is that the destination changed from the cold palace to the imperial study as suggested by Simuqiao.
After arriving at the bedroom in the imperial study, Si Muqiao went to take a bath first.
While Murong Qingli went in to wash and change clothes with the help of the eunuch, Simuqiao quickly ran to the side hall.
In the side hall, there were things she had prepared in advance.
After Murong Qingli came out of the shower, the first thing he thought of was to wipe the water stains off Si Muqiao's hair.
He did this several times during the few days when they swapped bodies.
From being unfamiliar at the beginning to being proficient and forming a habit now.
But who would have thought that when he arrived at the dormitory, he didn't see Si Muqiao at all.
It was Si Muqiao. There was not even a ghost in the entire dormitory.
"Where is Concubine Si?"
"I don't know, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment. I will go out and ask."
After the eunuch serving him finished speaking, he ran out.
"Well, I'll go out with you."
"yes."
After leaving the bedroom, Murong Qingli still did not see Si Muqiao except for the guards on night watch.
But he did find several road sign arrows pointing the way.
Led by the young eunuch and Guo Fu, he walked step by step along the signposts.
Then... they walked into the dark bedroom.
Just when Murong Qingli was about to say something, palace lanterns suddenly lit up in front of him.
When all the palace lanterns were lit up, they spelled out the words "Happy Birthday".
Simuqiao was standing among the palace lanterns, holding a round object in his hand and smiling at him.
There were several burning colorful candles stuck on the round thing.
The orange light of the candle flickered slightly.
The light shone on her face, making her smile seem even warmer.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called a cake. It is used to celebrate birthdays."
"Walk over here slowly, blow out the candles above, and make a wish."
"Yeah." Although Murong Qingli felt it was childish, he still did as she asked because of her expectant eyes.
After making a wish, Tangyuan, who was standing behind Simuqiao, handed him a knife and asked him to cut the cake.
After taking the first bite of the cake, Murong Qingli found it extremely sweet.
"Noble Concubine Si, I want to eat this again at this time next year."
"Okay, I agree." Si Muqiao nodded with a smile.
Although Murong Qingli's face looked normal, at this moment his heart was already filled with joy.
This was the first birthday that Simuqiao personally spent with him.
It was also the happiest birthday for him.
This thing called cake is very sweet, but his heart is even sweeter at this moment.
"Your Majesty, there are gifts that I have prepared for you in the imperial study."
"But you need to find it yourself."
"A gift? For me?" Murong Qingli was surprised, but also felt a bit of unspeakable surprise.
"Yeah, for you."
Hearing this, Murong Qingli suddenly felt that the cake in his hand no longer tasted good.
After putting it down, he took Si Muqiao back to the imperial study.
"What does the gift you mentioned look like?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you look for it yourself? If I tell you, it will take away some of the fun of treasure hunting."
[Hehe, you'd never guess that I have 25 gifts hidden.]
[Those twenty-five gifts were all prepared by me personally.]
[Just think of it as my way of making up for the birthday gifts you gave me over the past 25 years.]
[I can’t help it. You are my boyfriend. I really like you now.]
[If I can always like you, I will definitely treat you well. ]
[So young man, I hope you won’t let me down. ]
After hearing these thoughts, Murong Qingli paused, and something seemed to explode in his heart.
The exploding thing made him feel extremely happy and light-hearted inside and out.
Therefore, he not only has the love of his mother, but also the love of Si Muqiao.
She knew that he had never celebrated his birthday since he was young, so she took great pains to help him plan this birthday.
She is trying her best to make up for his past regrets and also pampering him with all her heart.
As expected, this woman, Simuqiao, loved him terribly.
Okay, considering Si Muqiao's sincerity, he swore that he would never let her lose.
He would use everything he had, even his life, to protect her.
"I found it."
Soon, Murong Qingli found the first gift.
The first gift is placed on the top shelf of the bookshelf.
It's not a very big box.
There was a note on the box that read: "Three-year-old Murong Qingli is so cute, happy birthday."
He opened the box and saw a small wooden carriage inside.
The little carriage was painted with various colors and looked very cute, making him unable to put it down.
But soon, he put it aside and continued searching.
This time, he found a cloth bag under the pillow.
There was the same note on the cloth bag.
The note read: "Thirteen-year-old Murong Qingli is like the breeze and the bright moon, happy birthday."
After Murong Qingli opened it, he found a brand new set of underwear inside.
The collar of the undershirt had his words embroidered on it, and it felt soft and comfortable.
He couldn't wait to start looking for the next surprise.
