Tianmu let out a low cry and lay there, half-expanding one of his wings, revealing his belly which was not too flat.
"And it's still bulging."
Xu Mingyi poked it with his finger and said: "There is no dried meat in the car anymore. I owe you for now and I will give it to you when you come back."
Anyway, the birds have to be fed every day. If you don't owe it, it's time for the next meal.
Tianmu didn't notice anything wrong at all. After thinking about it together, he probably thought this was okay, so he got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft seat, flapped his wings, and flew towards the direction of Dingnan Prince's Mansion.
When the big bird flew back to Prince Dingnan's mansion, Wu Chao was playing chess with Prince Dingnan in the study.
In early summer, outside the wide open window, there is a gentle breeze and the bananas are green.
The big bird came in through this window.
The big bird that suddenly landed on the coffee table next to his elbow gave a cry and tapped the tea cup with its long beak. Hearing the banging sound, Wu Jingming was frightened and quickly lifted the tea cup.
This is one of his two favorite tea sets.
The other set was already broken by Tianjiao last month!
But what is gratifying is that Tianjiao has also received corresponding punishment and price - the lady tapped its head with her finger and told it to pay more attention in the future.
In this case, it was hard for him to pursue anything further.
Looking at the tea cup protected by his father in front of him, Wu Chao looked thoughtful in his eyes - Tea? Does it mean teahouse?
And as if just to prove his guess, the big bird flew down from the coffee table and plucked the corners of his robe twice with its paws, as if to urge him.
When Wu Chao saw this, he was roughly convinced.
——It seems that Zhaozhao wanted to see him and specially asked Tianmu to deliver the message.
"Father, my son suddenly remembered that he still had something to do and needed to go out." The young man stood up and said.
Wu Jingming was stunned when he heard this: "Why are you in such a hurry? This game of chess has not even been finished yet -"
Wu Chao thought for a moment, and probably felt that doing so was indeed against the rules of the chess game.
Then he sat back again and dropped a piece.
Wu Jingming nodded with satisfaction, and after thinking for a moment, he dropped the white piece in his hand.
The next moment, there was a soft "click" sound, and the sunspot between the young man's fingers landed on the chessboard without any hesitation.
"...?" Wu Jingming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the outcome of the chess game.
Why did he lose suddenly?
The young man stood up again, raised his hand and saluted him: "Father, my son will go out to do errands first."
Wu Jingming nodded silently, his eyes always fixed on the chess game, and a voice in his heart tortured him - so, why did he have to talk so much just now? Isn't it good to let the children go out early to do errands?
…
When Wu Chao dismounted in front of Xuesheng Tea House, he subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor.
And when he looked up, he saw a girl smiling and waving to him inside the open window lattice.
The girl's appearance was beautiful, and from the angle he looked at at this time, a section of her bright wrist was exposed under the sleeves of apricot gauze, which was white and even a bit dazzling in the sunlight.
Wu Chao seemed to have been burned by something. He immediately looked away and strode into the hall, heading towards the second floor.
"How do you think of asking the Third Eye to send a message?" He sat down opposite Xu Mingyi and said, "If it doesn't listen, wouldn't it make you wait in vain?"
Since entering Beijing last year, this big bird has gradually become a little out of control.
After all, it is obvious that the other party does not want to be a bird, but a human being.
For example, last time, he asked Big Bird to accompany Mr. Fang to find someone, but Big Bird flew out early, and was later found sleeping in the corner by his servants.
Xu Mingyi found his words a bit strange: "How could you not listen to the messenger? When it comes to sending messages, the Third Eye has never made any mistakes."
Hearing this, Wu Chao couldn't help but think silently for a moment, and then came up with an answer: Big Bird just didn't listen to him, but Xu Mingyi did. He was confused.
At this point, there is obviously no need to continue discussing this topic.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Wu Chao was about to ask if he had anything to do with him today, when he heard her say from the front: "Wu Chao——"
"Um?"
"Smile and let me see." The girl folded her arms on the table in front of her, looked at him, and made a serious request.
Wu Chao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
Then I heard Xu Mingyi say: "I want to see you smile."
Want to see him smile?
Wu Chao vaguely felt that this request was a bit weird and straightforward, but because the people in front of him were different, he still tried to comply.
Seeing the young man tilting his head uncomfortably, coughing slightly, and raising the corners of his mouth slightly, Xu Mingyi felt that it was not enough.
She simply stood up, leaned slightly in his direction, and stretched out her hand.
The girl took two index fingers, placed them at the corners of the boy's mouth, and gently pulled them upwards from left to right, pulling out a well-curved but very passive smile.
"..." Wu Chaowei looked at the face so close to him in astonishment.
He saw that her eyes were looking very seriously and intently. The long and slightly raised eyelashes above her clear eyes were clearly reflected in his sight, and they were like soft snowflakes falling on his heart, refreshing and cool.
The softness quickly turned into water, but the water seemed to be burning hot due to his violently beating heart.
From this moment to the next, Wu Chao didn't struggle at all, nor did he react in any way. He just let the cool and delicate fingers gently pull on his face in a daze.
Carrying a teapot up the stairs, Shou Ming, who had just reached the corner of the stairs and was two steps up, saw this scene and suddenly stopped at his feet, his eyes as wide as bells.
——The sky is clear and the world is bright, the noble daughter of the general is teasing the children of the family, the young man is ignorant and does not know how to resist?!
Shouming, who has been writing a lot of stories recently, suddenly this sentence came to mind.
But how can a consensual thing be called teasing?
Shouming lowered his head and glanced at the teapot in his hand. After a moment, he held his breath and slowly turned around, bowed his body and walked downstairs step by step - his meowing under the stairs was light and silent, and the cat must have seen it.
They are all so ashamed of themselves that they feel they are not worthy of being a cat, and lament that humans do not leave a way to survive.
"It doesn't seem like it..."
On the second floor, Xu Mingyi looked at his "masterpiece" and still felt that it didn't look like that.
"——Who does it look like?"
Wu Chao came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
Xu Mingyi finally took his hand back, sat back, and whispered to him: "Today I met His Highness Prince Yan at the eldest princess's residence."
Wu Chaoshang felt quite uncomfortable with the face she touched, and wanted to raise his hand to rub it, but somehow felt reluctant to smooth away the discomfort. However, the expression on his face was always calm enough——
"So, do you think I look like His Highness Prince Yan?"
