Chapter 520: The first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday
Zhou Shaoyu sat quietly on the side, holding Jiutian in his arms, with his two silly sons sitting next to him.
He popularized all kinds of modern knowledge to his own daughter, and tried hard to talk about the advanced nature of Yulong Country. Finally, he successfully attracted Jiutian to promise: "My second uncle and I will go to Yulong Country to take a look after a while."
Emperor Chen immediately promised: "Write to me before you leave, and I will come to pick you up immediately, or ask the crown prince to pick you up."
"Okay."
Zhou Shaoyu shook hands with her, and the two sides "signed a verbal alliance."
He glanced at Xie Zhaozhao and Yin Jinan talking, feeling a little sour in his heart.
In fact, he also knew that this was wrong. Yin Jinan was a man of integrity and would never do anything to poach people.
But he just felt uncomfortable and simply refused to watch it.
He tried his best to dig his daughter back to Yulong Kingdom.
"How long will you stay in Qi? Wouldn't it be nice to live in Yulong Country for a while and learn a little? This way, you can help Qi develop faster in the future?"
"Yes, my second uncle is too busy. I can study in Yulong Country... No!"
I don't know what Jiu Tian was thinking about, but his expression suddenly changed. He asked, "What day is today?"
As soon as she had said this she remembered what day it was—May 15th.
Seeing her expression change drastically, Zhou Qiyuan immediately said, "Tomorrow is your and Third Brother's birthday. Today should be May 15th. Do you have any questions..."
Jiutian had already slipped off Zhou Shaoyu's body and hurriedly ran to Yin Jinan's side.
Sure enough, my second uncle’s eyes were already red.
However, because he had been drinking, everyone thought that Yin Jinan had drunk too much.
Jiu Tian immediately ran out the door, called Xiahou Yan over, and whispered, "Xiahou Yan, today is the night of the full moon, hurry up, call my second uncle to the back."
Xiahou Yan's face also changed color with fright.
The two hurried to Yin Jin'an's side. Yin Jin'an and Xie Zhaozhao had just recognized each other. Yin Jin'an was raising his glass and trying to stay calm: "Living Guanyin, everything will be fine for all of us."
Jiu Tian pulled his sleeve and shouted, "Second Uncle, it's time for you to practice."
Yin Jinan rubbed his head and said, "What kind of training?"
"Xuantian Sutra, have you forgotten it? Come with me."
Jiutian pulled Yin Jinan's sleeve, but Yin Jinan refused to leave. He had only seen the living Guanyin for two lifetimes, so why would she leave after just saying one word?
"No, I won't practice anymore. I won't practice today." He pounded his head in confusion and said, "Keep drinking."
Xiahou Yan also pulled him. Xie Zhaozhao didn't know what was going on. Jiutian said to Xie Zhaozhao, "I'll tell you later. My uncle must leave now."
Yin Jinan refused to leave, and Jiutian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Xiahou Yan gestured with his hands: "Princess, cry!"
Jiu Tian immediately burst into tears: "Second Uncle, I don't want to be here. You came with me to practice. You promised me that we would practice in the sun. You didn't keep your word."
Seeing Jiutian crying, Yin Jinan immediately said to Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao, "I, I'll go out for a while."
Jiutian took his hand, and Xiahou Yan supported him, and they hurried to the imperial garden at the back, where there was a small bridge and a lake.
She led Yin Jinan to sit on the small bridge, pointed at the still bright sunlight in the sky and said, "Second uncle, hurry up and practice the Xuantian Sutra."
Yin Jinan drank a lot, but because of daily practice, the Xuantian Sutra had become an instinctive conditioned reflex.
Then he practiced the Xuantian Sutra, sunlight and lake water, and in a moment, two dragons roared into the sky.
Xiahou Yan had no idea that his master's internal strength was so strong. He was so shocked that he stared at the two dragons in the sky with his mouth wide open.
Yang Hanfeng followed Xiahou Yan on the Northern Expedition. Xiahou Yan really didn't know that Yin Jinan had already realized the profound meaning of the Xuantian Sutra.
Many people in the palace heard the roars of tigers and dragons behind them, and didn't know what was happening. When they looked up, they saw two dragons of water and fire circling alternately above the palace.
They had never seen such a vision before.
Jiutian felt the kindness of Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao, so after Yin Jinan started practicing, she immediately went to see Xie Zhaozhao.
"Your Majesty Emperor An, my second uncle is practicing an internal skill now. He needs to circulate the Qi every day. Otherwise, his blood vessels will be broken, which is very dangerous. So I'm really sorry. I apologize on behalf of my uncle."
Jiutian thought what he said was very reasonable, but Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao both thought it was full of loopholes.
What kind of internal energy needs to be practiced every day, or else the blood vessels will be cut off?
Isn't this some kind of evil practice?
"Jiutian, if your uncle has any problems, you can tell us," Xie Zhaozhao squatted down and said to Jiutian gently, "your uncle is the biological brother of Chendi and me. In this world, besides Jiutian, we are the ones who most wish him the best."
Jiutian felt that he could trust them.
However, she didn't want to tell anyone Yin Jinan's secret.
After thinking for a while, she said, "The exercises my second uncle practices are good for his health. The exercises were given to him by my master. When he has mastered them, he will never get sick again and will not be afraid of anyone."
She felt that being able to say this was already a manifestation of her utmost trust in Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu.
She won't say any more.
Xie Zhaozhao said: "How long does it take to practice this set of skills?"
"It will be fine tomorrow morning."
“Do you want to practice every day?”
Jiutian shook his head and was about to say that it was only the fifteenth day of every month, but he immediately shut up.
If we say the fifteenth of every month, does that mean we are telling others that Second Uncle’s fifteenth day is a day of defense gap?
So the little fellow immediately made up a lie: "No, it's just in the order of the exercises, the dates are not fixed. Today just happened to be the day."
Xie Zhaozhao doesn't know martial arts, so she doesn't understand much about it.
Zhou Shaoyu has practiced martial arts for thirty years, but he does not agree with Jiu Tian’s statement and keenly feels that his daughter is not telling the truth.
But I don't want to expose it.
I felt really uncomfortable. What was going on? At such a young age, you sided with others and lied to your own father without blinking an eye!
Because Yin Jinan wanted to "practice martial arts", Wang Can and other officials were very frightened and kept saying nice things for fear of offending these two most powerful emperors.
Zhou Shaoyu said calmly: "It's okay, we are full and have enough to eat and drink, let's go back to the post station to rest first."
The group returned to the inn, closed the door, and deployed secret guards around it. No one in Qi was impatient enough to provoke the emperor of Yulong Kingdom.
Li Yunmu spoke first: "Your Majesty Emperor Chen and Emperor An, Emperor Aotian is the Second Master. Although we don't know how he became the eldest son of Emperor Yangsheng, he is definitely the Second Master."
Zhou Lingyin couldn't hold back his tears and said with certainty, "I grew up with him and followed him for more than ten years. I know him too well. Emperor Aotian must be the Second Master."
As certain as they were were Yunyang, Xie Jue, Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu.
Among these people, except Xie Yu and Yin Jinan, who he did not deal with much, the others were familiar with him.
"I don't know what kind of skills he will practice today, but it must be something big." Zhou Shaoyu said, "He should have known us for a long time, but he has his own difficulties and cannot recognize us publicly."
Everyone agreed and were a little worried about Yin Jinan's sudden departure from the banquet.
Given Yin Jinan's personality, he would not abandon his old friend even if the sky fell.
What's more, see you again in these two lives.
What's more, they are all his closest comrades-in-arms.
"Something big must have happened." Xie Zhaozhao originally thought of sending secret guards to investigate, but gave up.
She respected what Yin Jinan didn't want to say and didn't want them to know.
After a night of anxiety, Jiutian woke up at noon the next day and released the seal for Yin Jinan. Yin Jinan ate a quick breakfast and went to the post station with Jiutian.
Wang Can and Gu Bahuang wanted to go together, but Yin Jinan said to them, "You guys should follow the procedures and do your respective duties. I will negotiate with the Emperor of Yulong Kingdom alone."
Before leaving, he told Wang Can about what happened in the northern border and asked him to send an old tutor to the border town to take care of Li Ziwei.
Wang Can was full of admiration. His Majesty was a truly wise emperor who employed people in a non-conformist way. Only his Majesty would dare to employ someone like Li Ziwei.
Whenever Yin Jinan travels, he must bring Jiutian with him.
The two took the royal carriage to the post house.
I saw a huge pile of colorful things in front of the entrance of Yulong Pavilion. Xie Zhaozhao borrowed a stove from the post station and was busy in the kitchen.
Only when they saw that Yin Jinan and Jiutian were safe and sound did Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao feel relieved.
"Sister Jiutian, come and see quickly." When Zhou Qi Ze saw Jiutian coming, he immediately came over and took her little hand and ran into the museum.
Zhou Qiyuan also shouted: "Sister Jiutian, come and see."
The entire Yulong Pavilion was decorated in a festive atmosphere, with all kinds of colorful calligraphy on the walls and various colored lights and ribbons hanging.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the big words on the wall - "Happy birthday to Princess Jiutian and Third Prince Zhou Qi Ze".
"Is it pretty? I picked these flowers." Zhou Qi Ze said excitedly, "Sister, do you like them?"
"Also, also, those are fireworks at the door. In the evening, father and mother will set off fireworks to celebrate for us." Zhou Qi Ze chattered and showed off.
Jiutian looked very curious, as it was her first birthday.
On the big table in the restaurant are home-cooked dishes.
There were many small snacks in the center, including sugar balls and soft cakes that I had never seen before. They were not as exquisite as those made by the imperial chef, but they looked delicious.
Zhou Shaoyu said to Yin Jinan and Jiutian: "I know Jiutian can't afford money, so these are ordinary ingredients, and they are all home-cooked dishes made by myself."
Father, mother and second uncle are the most noble people in the world. They can pick the stars in the sky and give them to their children, but the children cannot afford it.
A troupe of actors were rehearsing their lines in the yard. When they saw Yin Jinan and Jiutian coming, they immediately knelt down to salute them.
Asked Jiutian: "Princess, we have arranged several plays. When can we start performing?"
Jiutian asked curiously, "What kind of play are you rehearsing? Can I understand it?"
The sentences in opera are difficult and children often cannot understand them. At most they can just listen to the noise of gongs and drums.
"We are going to perform a play, not an opera. Princess, I'm sure you will understand it." The owner of the troupe said, "We specially arranged this play for the princess and the third prince's birthday. If you enjoy it, don't forget to reward me!"
"Okay."
The stage has been set up indoors, and there are movable sets and various costumes and props. It is obvious that a lot of time has been spent in preparation.
So this is what a birthday is all about! There are delicious food, fun things to do, nice things to listen to, and things to see.
Zhou Shaoyu and Yin Jinan sat down together. Xie Zhaozhao brought a dish over from the stove and said to Jiutian, "I cooked it myself today. Please try it and see if it tastes good."
"These are all made by Emperor An himself. She started working on them at midnight." Zhou Shaoyu touched Jiutian's little head and said gently, "Why don't you go and kiss Emperor An and thank her?"
Jiu Tian ran over immediately, and Zhou Qi Ze also ran over.
Xie Zhaozhao squatted down, holding the two children in her arms, one on each side. The two children leaned on her cheeks, and "Trojan Horse" kissed them.
Xie Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly turned red with happiness.
After five years, she finally cooked a table of dishes for her daughter and celebrated her birthday.
The daughter finally kissed her.
