Chapter 298: Birthday

According to the practice of previous years, she packed everything and waited for the arrival of Zhaoyu's debt. However, these days, Zhaoyu's debt was busy with official duties. When the emperor pulled the empress dowager's men off, he had to fill it with his own people. The appointment of new officials and the subsequent consolidation of power were irreplaceable. It was precisely because of his military support that the whole process seemed smooth and peaceful, otherwise the capital would have been overwhelmed!

Because of this, he never remembered that today was Li's birthday. After returning home, he went straight to Pei Xiner's yard as usual.

Li sent his maid Hongyuan to the door to welcome Zhao Yubao, but unexpectedly, Hongyuan came back alone, and her smile couldn't help but condense on her face.

‘Where is the master?’ she asked, with an unknown premonition in her heart.

Hong Yuan looked at her with a look of distress, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, General, he went to Aunt Pei's yard."

Li felt that there was a "boom" in his mind, and he could not hear anything. His eyes suddenly turned red. The resentment from it made people feel frightened when they saw it. Hong Yuan was so scared that she trembled all over and hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her expression again.

After a long time, the low atmosphere in the room did not improve at all. Hongyuan had to raise her head and urged her, "Auntie, don't worry, maybe I just ordered Aunt Pei to do something, so I went to her first. He would not forget the birthday of Aunt***, and maybe I might come here later!"

Li clenched his lower lip and said nothing. Now it was useless to say anything. After Zhao Yuqiu came back, he did not come to his place directly. It was a huge shame. If he had to ask Pei Xiner for something, could he not be able to bring him a message? Besides, there was something in the family that could not be delayed for a moment. He had to let go of his birthday star to another woman? He could go directly when he was on his birthday, and when he arrived at his place, he went to someone else's yard. Is he disgusted with himself or something?

No, it wasn't because he was disgusted with himself. Someone must be making trouble and tricking him into tricks, otherwise he would never treat him like this! Li thought hatefully, and twisted the handkerchief hard, almost squeezing the handkerchief, with his face sometimes blue and white, and his eyes seemed to be about to kill someone.

Hong Yuan only took a look and couldn't help but lower her head. For a moment, there was a silence in the room.

At this time, in Pei Xiner's yard, she was also staring at Zhao Yujin and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing her looking at her stupidly, Zhao Yuzhao couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw her motionless. He asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you talk?"

She suddenly came to her senses, looked at him with laughter and cry, and asked without answering, "Why did you come to me?"

Zhao Yuzhang frowned even more and more, looked at her with a bad look and asked, "What, I'm so amazing?"

If she dares to say 'yes', he will definitely want her to taste the taste of punishment tonight!

Pei Xiner was not afraid of his eyes at all and said calmly: "Today's master shouldn't come to me. Have you forgotten that today is Sister Li's birthday? You should go to her place."

Zhao Yuzun couldn't help but be stunned. Then he remembered that there was indeed such a thing. In the past, the housekeeper reminded Quanxing. Quanxing reminded himself again. But there were a lot of things recently, let alone him, even Quanxing was just a lawsuit. Even if such things came to Quanxing, it would be normal for him to tell him.

After all, it is just the birthday of an unpopular concubine. If it were Pei Xiner's, it would be guaranteed that no one would forget it.

He then had a fever on his face and said stubbornly: "I haven't forgotten it, it's just a birthday, it's not a big deal. I've been so busy these days, so how can I still have the mood to celebrate what birthday?!"

Pei Xiner looked at him clearly, but did not expose his lies, but just followed his words and said: "That's not what he said, yes, after all, there is only one birthday a year, and Sister Li must also attach great importance to it. If you don't go, it would be too heartbreaking. After all, she is also your woman, right? You should go there. According to the rules of previous years, you should have rested in her room tonight."

Zhao Yuzhang frowned and said, "Why do you have to be so troublesome?"

He doesn't want to be with other women at all now. He is already very busy during the day. When he returns home at night, he can only feel relaxed by Pei Xiner. Sun and Li give him the feeling that they are too artificial, and there are many things, and there are always requirements. They can't relax in front of them. What's the best way to live like this? As his woman, he should let him relax when he is tired. Now it's the opposite. What's the use of so many women?!

However, Pei Xiner looked at him without saying a word, with gloating clearly in her eyes - who told him to have three wives and four concubines? Since she has taken so many women, she naturally has the obligation to comfort them well. This is his own choice and she cannot blame others.

He understood her eyes and felt a little confused, but he couldn't say anything to refute. He could only say in anger: "Okay, then I'll go over and take a look. But at most I'll just have a meal with her, and I'll come back to rest with you in the evening. These days are so busy, so how can I have the heart to deal with others!"

After saying that, without waiting for Pei Xiner to speak, she turned around and strode out. Pei Xiner had no time to say a word, so she could only watch his back disappear from her vision, opened her mouth, and finally she could only turn into a bitter smile-

Did this master forget? She should also fall into the category of "others". Since he said he was tired and wanted to rest and was impatient to deal with "others", he should go back to his own yard in the front yard. What's going on when he came to her? Didn't he deliberately cause trouble for her?

She seemed to be able to see Li's resentment towards her now. Li was not a generous person. In her eyes, it must be that Zhao Yuzhang wanted to leave alone, but that she bewitched him that way. She was afraid that she would hate herself!

But now Zhao Yuzun has left, and it is too late to say anything. Besides, he has never been an easy person to convince. Once he decides, he will rarely change things. If he really makes up his mind, even if she wears her mouth, it will not be of any effect.

After sighing, she simply put down her worries and turned around and walked into the inner room. Now that things have come, then let the soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil cover them.

But Zhao Yuxian walked towards Li's yard. The servant guarding the gate saw it from a distance and rushed in to report to Li. Li was sure that he would come, so he kept the food and other things and put it on the stove to warm it. He was so happy that he quickly brought all the food, and then put it in the mirror to dress up, then smiled and smiled happily at Zhao Yuxian.

‘Master, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!’ She said happily and slightly coquettishly.

Zhao Yuzun looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but feel moved. Thinking of what Pei Xiner said, does a woman still value her birthday very much?

After all, it was his own woman. His heart softened and his expression calmed down. He said, "It's rare that it's another birthday. I'm just born. I'm very busy recently, but I'm late. Don't mind."

Li had already determined that he had been deceived by Pei Xiner. After hearing what he said, he thought he was saying it for Pei Xiner to excuse her, and his face was stiff. However, she was quickly covered up by her and said with a smile: "I can still remember my birthday every day. I am very grateful. How could I mind? I am tired for a day, so I have prepared some water and wine to accompany you to have a few drinks to relieve my fatigue?"

Zhao Yu knew that she wanted her to have dinner with her, and it happened to coincide with his idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Li hadn't seen him so kindly for a long time, and he was even more delighted. He boldly walked into the house with him, and saw that the table was filled with exquisite wine and food.

Zhao Yuxian frowned at her intimacy without any trace, feeling a little unhappy. However, thinking that today is her birthday, it is not too good to sweep her happiness, so he could only force himself to endure it. When he walked to the table, he quietly pulled out his hand and sat down to the table.

Li did not notice his unhappiness. The excessive excitement made her whole body and mind extremely excited. She personally poured wine for him and herself, then raised the wine glass shyly and said, "Master, I will give you a glass. Thank you for taking the time to celebrate my birthday in my busy schedule. I will do it first!"

Zhao Yuzun watched her drink, so he drank it all in one go, and then poured a glass for her, saying, "Tell me, you are the birthday star, I should be the one who wishes you. Cheers."

Although his words were simple, Li was flattered and even burst into tears. He hurriedly drank the wine in one sip.

Next, the atmosphere between the two was also excellent. Li frequently picked up food and toasted him, and was attentive, while he drank lightly and slowly. Although he drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk.

After a while, Li served him and rinsed his mouth, served him with another cup of tea, then looked at him shyly and said, "Master, I'm going to ask someone to prepare hot water for you to bathe?"

Zhao Yuzhan frowned and said, "No need. I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't stay here. I didn't have time to give you any gifts on your birthday. If you want anything, just tell the butler directly, you don't have to be polite."
