Chapter 131 Mirror and Cake

"Fifth sister, please don't look at it. There is no Qin King's bone-transparent mirror in this world. Sister is lying to you!" Princess Pingyang heard Princess Chang Guang look at the mirror given by Li Xiu, and immediately stopped him. She was worried that if Li Xiu really gave only an ordinary mirror, it would leave a bad impression among his sisters.

"That's not possible. General Ma and the others are not here. Li Xiu is the most important person under your command. The gift he gave cannot be vague!" At this moment, the Xiangyang Princess, who had not spoken, also smiled. She was Princess Pingyang's second sister. She had also met Li Xiu, a young hero when she came at noon. She was also very curious about his gifts.

Seeing that the second sister supported her, Princess Changguang ignored the reaction of her third sister and urged Sheheu to go and get Li Xiu's gift. This made Princess Pingyang not stop her anymore, so she could only nod and agreed. In a short while, Sheheu came over with a wooden box and placed it on the table in front of Princess Pingyang and the others.

Princess Changguang immediately reached out and was about to open it, but was stopped by the Xiangyang princess and smiled: "Fifth sister, this is a gift given to the third sister, so the third sister has to open it with her own hands!"

When Princess Pingyang heard the second sister's words, she smiled helplessly again, reached out to take the box in front of her, and then gently opened the box. She saw a very delicate mirror inside, with the bronze back facing up, looking similar to an ordinary bronze mirror. However, when she turned the mirror over, she couldn't help but say "ah" in surprise, and a look of incredibleness appeared on her face.

Princess Changguang and Princess Xiangyang sat on both sides of Princess Pingyang, and at this time they both leaned over to look at the mirror in her hand. When they saw the front of the mirror, they opened their eyes wide in shock. Especially Princess Changguang, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and couldn't help but whisper: "This... how is this possible?"

"What's wrong? Did that Li Xiuzhen find the King of Qin's bone-transparent mirror?" The Changsha Princess sat opposite Princess Pingyang, so she could not see the front of the mirror for the time being. However, from the expressions of the three sisters, she could also see that the mirror seemed very unexpected, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, you would never have thought that there would be such a mirror in this world!" At this time, the Princess Xiangyang finally raised her head and murmured to the Princess Changsha, with a little unbelievable shock in her eyes.

"Sister, hurry up... let me see!" Princess Changguang suddenly reached out to grab the mirror in Princess Pingyang's hand, then looked left and right with a narcissistic look on her face, and saw a woman with a smile reflected in the mirror. She lived for more than 20 years and it was the first time she had seen her face so clearly.

When she heard the second sister's words and looked at the fifth sister's narcissistic appearance, the Changsha princess finally couldn't help it. She stood up and walked behind Princess Changguang. She saw that she was indeed holding a mirror in her hand. Although the back of the mirror was copper, the front was as cool as water, which seemed to be crystal and overseas medicine jade. But this was not the point. The point was that her appearance was reflected in the mirror, which was clear and even scary.

"This... is this really a mirror?" The Changsha princess looked at herself, who had gained weight in the mirror, and compared to her young sisters, she seemed a little old, especially at the corners of her eyes, and there were a few crow's feet. However, no matter how clear the bronze mirror was in the past, it was still a little yellow and blurry, so she didn't notice it. But now through this strange appearance, she discovered her aging.

"It's incredible. This mirror seems to be made of medicinal jade. Where did Li Xiu find such a mirror?" Princess Xiangyang couldn't help but reach out and touched the mirror with emotion. No matter how clear the bronze mirror is, it cannot reach this level. However, she has seen a lot of medicinal jade, but she never knew that medicinal jade could also be made into a mirror.

"Sister Three, give me this mirror!" At this moment, Princess Changguang, who was addicted to her appearance, finally woke up. She screamed and hugged the mirror in her arms and said, "She really likes this mirror!"

If it was something given by someone else, even if it was a hundred times more expensive than this mirror, Princess Pingyang would give it to Princess Changguang without hesitation. However, this mirror was the first birthday gift given to her by Li Xiu, so Princess Pingyang immediately shook her head firmly and said, "No, fifth sister, if you like other things, even if you take away all other gifts, this mirror will definitely not work!"

"Good sister, I like this mirror. Can I let it be made by me?" Princess Changguang used her trick at this time, holding Princess Pingyang's arm and shaking and acting coquettishly. In the past, as long as she used this move, Princess Pingyang would agree no matter what request, except for the last time she wanted Princess Pingyang's Peony Flower to suffer.

"No, you can take away other things if you want, but this mirror is not good!" Princess Pingyang said firmly again.

Seeing that the third sister firmly disagreed, Princess Changguang was also a little angry and said angrily: "San Sister, this is what you said. I want the peony flower I asked for last time, do you give it to me?"

"Okay, peony flowers are in the garden. If you want them, go dig them!" Princess Pingyang agreed almost without hesitation. Although she loved flowers as her life, she would not give this mirror to others no matter what.

"Uh? Third sister, do you have a fever? Are you really willing to give flowers to the fifth sister?" The Changsha princess heard that Princess Pingyang would rather not have flowers than leave this mirror, and said in a little unbelievable moment. She knows her sister best. If she wants to love flowers, she is so crazy about sending flowers and plants. It is harder than climbing the sky. What's wrong with her today?

Princess Changguang was also stunned when she heard Princess Pingyang agreeing to give her peony. After a while, she reacted and said, "Sister Third Sister, then I really went to dig it?"

Looking at the incredible expressions of the sisters, Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently and said, "If you want it, go. Anyway, you have been thinking about my peony for a day or two. With your temperament, if you don't give it to you a day, you will think about it for a day. It's better to let you do it today!"

"Hehe~, it seems that the third sister is really a change in nature, so I'm not polite!" Princess Changguang immediately jumped up and ran to dig her peony. She also realized that since the third sister can even give up flowers and plants, it means that it is impossible for her to want this mirror, so it's better to settle for the second best. Speaking of which, she has indeed been thinking about those peony plants for a long time.

Seeing Princess Changguang leaving happily, Princess Xiangyang laughed and scolded: "I am a mother, so why do you still be so erratic? I am not afraid of being said to be without the majesty of a princess!"

However, now, the Changsha Princess looked at the fifth sister who had left and said with great emotion: "It's so good to be young, it's a pity..."

When he said this, the Changsha princess reached out to take the mirror from Princess Pingyang, then looked at the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, and the expression on her face became even more dim. Nothing felt more sad than the beauty's old age.

However, just when the Changsha princess was sad about her old age, and Princess Pingyang and Princess Xiangyang didn't know how to comfort her, she suddenly saw several maids from the Princess's Mansion walking towards her carrying a large tray, with a big box covering it, and I don't know what was on it?

Several maids placed the tray on the table, and then the maid in charge bowed to Princess Pingyang and said, "Princess, this is the pastry for today. Please taste it!"

"Pastry? What kind of pastry?" Princess Pingyang asked strangely when she heard this. She remembered that she didn't ask the kitchen to prepare pastries?

"Princess Qibing, this was made by Li Jijiu specifically instructed the kitchen. It was called a birthday cake, just to celebrate the princess' birthday!" The maid replied with a smile again.

After saying that, the maid reached out and opened the box on the tray, revealing the white birthday cake below. There were not many tricks on it, and the four big words "Happy Birthday" were written in red cream. This was also impossible, because no one had any experience in making cakes, and Li Xiu had only seen others make it simple, but he found it very difficult to operate it himself, so he could only do it simple.

"This birthday cake is a good name, and the smell is very attractive. But how can you eat such a big pastry?" Princess Xiangyang looked at the cake in front of her, which was bigger than the lid of the pot. She asked in confusion. The largest pastry they usually eat is only the size of her palms. It was the first time she saw such a big pastry.

"Princess, don't worry. When Li Jijiu came, he had already taught us, but before eating, there was one thing to do!" At this time, the maid smiled again, and then took a few colorful candles from the maid beside him, two thick and five thin inserted into the cake.

Speaking of which, in order to make this cake, Li Xiu thought of it in all aspects. For example, even a few candles were made by him by himself. In fact, it was very simple. It was nothing more than melting the wax and adding pigments, and adding wicks to let them solidify. Moreover, he wanted to give this cake to Princess Pingyang himself, but he didn't expect that Princess Changsha and the others would not leave. He heard that Princess Changguang planned to stay overnight, so he gave up this plan helplessly.

"Princess, each of these two thick candles represents ten years old, and thin ones represent one year old, and two thick five thin ones represent your age this year. After lit it, you can make a wish, but don't say it out, and then blow out the candle. It is said that doing this will make your wish come true!" The maid lit the candle and introduced to Princess Pingyang with a smile.

"I didn't expect that Li Xiu had such thoughts. Third sister, you have such subordinates, it's really jealous!" The Changsha princess finally recovered from her sadness at this time, and when she spoke, she also put down the mirror in her hand. Although this mirror is good, she would rather use a bronze mirror that is not very clear, so that she would not be sad when she saw her aging face.

"Sister, I am becoming more and more curious about Li Xiu. Moreover, such a mirror is unprecedented. I also want to have one. Why don't you call him in and see if he can find a few more mirrors for us?" The Princess Xiangyang picked up the mirror and looked at herself carefully. At this time, she suddenly spoke and suggested. (To be continued.) 19
