"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

A pleasant and clear singing came from behind me, like a breeze blowing across the lake, which seemed particularly beautiful in the night.

Lu Xiuyuan's ears twitched, and he turned around suddenly, dazzled by the scene before him.

He saw the woman of his heart, wearing a green mist skirt, with light makeup and a faint smile, walking towards him like a fairy under the moon.

Her green hands held a plate, on which was placed a piece of... very beautiful, sweet-smelling dessert.

There were many colorful thin candles on the snacks, and the golden flames on the candles flickered from time to time in the night breeze, which was really beautiful.

There were many people following her, including Su Yu, Chan En, Bei Jin, Lu Yanluo, and all the loyal servants of his palace...

They were behind her, singing beautiful songs with her and wishing him a happy birthday.

Lu Xiuyuan never cried easily after his mother passed away, but because of this woman, his eyes became red for the second time.

Before she came, his world was bloody and filled with hatred without a single ounce of space.

Her arrival was beyond his expectations, like a happy fish leaping into a silent lake, completely disturbing his heart.

Or like the graceful and fluttering white snow, it gradually covered up the creeping blood-red in his heart, until he could see no one else but her.

He looked at her infatuatedly and wanted to rush over to hug her, but she was holding the "glowing dessert" in her hands. He was afraid of bumping into her, so he could only wait for her where he was, watching her singing a song and walking towards him step by step.

Xia Younan had a gentle smile on her lips, her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and she walked up to him with a group of people, her beautiful eyes looking forward, "Yuan'er, happy birthday."

"Happy birthday, Your Majesty." Su Yu and others also congratulated him.

Lu Xiuyuan stared at her and smiled. She was so beautiful and charming that she dazzled everyone.

His eyes seemed to be filled with vast stars. He raised his hand and gently scratched the nose of the beauty in front of him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my lady."

Xia Younan looked back at him, and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. He didn't seem to have the childish naivety anymore, his eyes were warm and peaceful, his smile was like a spring breeze, like a banished immortal who had fallen into the mortal world.

"Princess!" The servants' shouts interrupted the two people's infatuation.

There were more than a dozen exquisite lanterns hung around the octagonal pavilion, lighting up the interior of the pavilion as bright as day.

It was only then that Lu Xiuyuan discovered that the round table in the pavilion was filled with fragrant dishes.

The dish did not have any particularly precious ingredients, but it was delicious and tasty, making people's appetite increase.

Xia Younan smiled, and walked into the pavilion with Lu Xiuyuan in tacit understanding, placing the cake in their hands among the dishes.

"Everyone, please take a seat. We agreed that there will be no master and servant today, only family." Xia Younan asked everyone to take a seat. Everyone stopped talking and sat together happily.

Xia Younan took out an exquisite wooden box from under the table like a magician, handed it to Lu Xiuyuan beside him with both hands, and smiled happily, "Yuan'er, I'm too busy during the day, so I'll celebrate your birthday at night. This is my birthday present for you, see if you like it."

"It's a gift from my wife. Yuan'er will definitely like it." Lu Xiuyuan took the box with great interest and couldn't wait to open it.

What comes into view is a neatly folded, furry gray-blue "cloth".

This color...why does it look so familiar?

He looked up at Xia Younan, picked up the "cloth" and asked, "Madam, what is this?"

Xia Younan smiled but did not answer, watching him slowly unfold the result of her two sleepless nights.

When the thing was fully unfolded, Lu Xiuyuan found that it was a long strip of cloth. It was about 30 centimeters wide and 160 centimeters long, with long and thin tassels hanging at both ends.

This "cloth" was soft and skin-friendly, and it felt like nothing. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was woven with fluffy threads. The threads were arranged in a very regular pattern, and the pattern was the most exquisite he had ever seen.

The color is gray-blue with low saturation and moderate brightness. The gray-blue tones are calm and soft, very high-end and elegant.

Having seen this, even if he was slow to react, he would remember the origin of this "soft cloth".

This was knitted by the girl herself, poking it out bit by bit with a needle. He clearly remembered that she didn't sleep for two nights because of this thing.

He coaxed and pestered her to sleep, but she always secretly got up in the middle of the night to continue doing it, muttering that she was afraid that she would not have enough time.

It turns out...she was making a birthday present for herself.

Lu Xiuyuan held the scarf, his heart seemed to fall on a ball of soft cotton. His eyes were slightly moist as he looked at Xia Younan, not knowing what to say.

Thank you? This is so pale, how can it be possible?

Xia Younan pulled the stool closer to him, took the scarf from his hand, gently and slowly wrapped the scarf around his neck, and finally gently tied a beautiful knot in front.

"It looks good." She looked at him putting on the scarf, and the smile on her face was like the winter sunshine.

My vision was right. The color made his skin look whiter and matched his temperament. The pattern was simple yet exquisite.

Although he was wearing ancient costume, the modern scarf did not look out of place at all. Instead, it was like the finishing touch, making him look even better.

She gently adjusted his neck with her hands, muttering with a smile, "Winter is coming, the weather is getting cold, I can't let my Yuaner get cold. Yuaner, this is the scarf I knitted for you. Is it warm? Does it look good?"

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes turned red quietly, and there seemed to be a thorn stuck in his throat. After a long time, he nodded in a hoarse voice, "It's warm and beautiful, Yuan'er... I like it very much!"

This is the best birthday gift he has ever received, and it will be engraved in the deepest part of his heart along with this woman.

"It's so beautiful~" Lu Yanluo exclaimed in amazement, and looked at Xia Younan with envy and jealousy, "Second cousin, how come you are so skillful? You can knit such beautiful things with just a thread and two needles. I'm so envious. Can you teach me?"

Xia Younan readily agreed, "Of course you can, my little princess. This may seem difficult, but there are actually rules to it. You will learn it once you learn it. I will teach you tomorrow."

"That's great! Thank you, cousin!" Lu Yanluo was so happy that she was beaming with joy.

That’s great. This kind of woolen product looks very warm. Once she learns how to make one, she can knit one for Su Yu.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Su Yu out of the corner of her eye, but unexpectedly her eyes met his.

They were both stunned. Su Yu reacted first and looked away, lowering his head and no longer looking at her.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo was even happier, her heart was beating non-stop. Brother Su Yu said that he didn't like her, but he had been secretly looking at her all the time.

It seems that her trip tonight was not in vain. While the prince was busy with his uncle's affairs, she sneaked out of the palace to celebrate his birthday. She also accidentally discovered that Su Yu was peeking at her, hehe.

Seeing that the candles on the cake were almost burned out, Xia Younan clapped his hands and said to Lu Xiuyuan, "Yuan'er, I made a birthday cake for you. Make a wish to the cake and then blow out the candles."
