He knew the birds he raised. Wu Chaoruo glanced at the big bird's chubby body, and then at Mr. Fang's chubby body...
Take a look at Big Bird's bald head, and then take a look at Mr. Fang's excessively receding hair...
Even the clothes Mr. Fang is wearing today are very similar to the color of the big bird's coat.
Faced with this strange coincidence, Wu Chao was silent for a moment. He didn't say anything. He only motioned for Mr. Fang to go to the study with him.
"This vulture... why is it tied up with a rope?" Mr. Fang asked curiously as he walked.
You have to eat whatever he says you should. These raptors are very angry and will lose weight if you keep them.
"Domesticated." Wu Chao explained.
This bird's heart has become wild, and it seems that it no longer knows where its home is. It cannot listen to what is said and cannot be punished without discipline.
Considering the love between master and servant, just tying him up instead of locking him up in a cage was his greatest kindness.
"Oh..." Mr. Fang understood and felt a little pity.
The domesticated ones are not good, lack of exercise, the meat is too fat, loose and tasteless.
Seeing the study door being closed, the big bird flapped its wings and started chirping.
The cry was loud and harsh, and the servant hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and untied the rope to lead the unwilling big bird away from here.
The proud bird refused to be led around like a dog, and chose to hover in anger.
But in this way...it actually looks like a lifelike big kite!
Feeling humiliated, the big bird screamed even louder.
…
It rained heavily that night, adding a bit of coolness to the capital.
The next day, in Changkun Palace, the queen looked at the short girl in front of her to greet her, with an approachable smile on her soft and dignified face.
"Miss Xu's body has not yet fully recovered. There is no need to rush into the palace to thank you for any kind of reward - come and sit next to me."
"Thank you, the Queen, for your concern. My daughter's health is almost fully recovered."
Xu Mingyi walked over obediently and sat down next to the queen.
She thought about it for a long time yesterday and didn't make the decision to enter the palace until night.
It happened that I had just received a commendation the day before yesterday, so it was a ready-made way to go to the palace to express gratitude.
Xu Mingyi took the tea cup from the palace maid and lowered her sleeves as she raised her hands.
The queen was attracted by the embroidery on her sleeves and said casually: "Miss Xu, the pattern of plum blossom branches on the cuffs looks quite different from ordinary patterns. Such exquisite yet smooth embroidery is really rare.
…”
Xu Mingyi smiled.
"It probably has little to do with the embroidery method. The main thing is that this pattern was painted by my second uncle in my family, so it may look a little different."
A faint look of surprise appeared on the queen's face.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xu..."
She looked at the pattern carefully for a moment, and her eyes gradually filled with smiles. She turned her attention to the girl and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Xu loves Miss Xu very much.
The outer clothes are all painted by him himself..."
He had never been as rigid as those literati, and she knew that.
However, since he is still in such a good mood now, I think his life will go smoothly in the future.
Xu Mingyi nodded generously.
"The elders in my daughter's family are always kind."
The queen nodded slightly, but her eyes were still on the embroidery on her cuffs: "Does Miss Xu like plum blossoms?"
Xu Mingyi didn't know why the Queen seemed to be so interested in her plum blossom embroidery, so she nodded and asked with a smile: "The Queen also likes it?"
"I used to like it, but now I'm older..."
The queen said, turned around and ordered: "Mother Jiang, take the pair of white jade plum blossom hairpins that I loved before entering the palace."
Aunt Jiang was startled for a moment, and then she calmed down.
"This hairpin is too lively. I can no longer use it, so let's give it to Miss Xu for fun." The queen said jokingly: "It's not a precious thing, so don't think it's old-fashioned."
Xu Mingyi took the box from Aunt Jiang and said a little flattered: "How can I not cherish the gift given by the empress?"
It is said to be something from before entering the palace, but since it is still stored close to him and has always been remembered in his heart, it can be seen that this thing has some meaning to the other party.
Such a thing was rewarded to her, and the weight of it was not even comparable to those truly valuable and rare rewards.
She didn't know much about what kind of person the Empress was in her previous life.
But the arrow in front of the Yangzhou city gate made her feel differently from others when facing the direct daughter of the Wu family.
At that time, the Dingnan Palace of Ningyang was burned to the ground, and all the direct descendants of a century-old family were burned that night...
King Yan was enraged and went south with a powerful offensive.
When people in the court were panicked and the war was imminent, the first assistant Xia Tingzhen and others proposed to take the "daughter of the rebellious minister Wu" to Yangzhou and use her life to coerce the King of Yan to withdraw.
Princess Yan, who died early, was the eldest daughter of King Dingnan and the eldest sister of Queen Wu.
Like your Majesty today, King Yan married all daughters of the Wu family.
The world may not know it clearly, but Emperor Qingming and Xia Tingzhen knew that King Yan valued friendship the most.
All the direct descendants of the Wu family died in the fire. In addition to being shocked and angry, King Yan must also feel guilty and regretful. Now there is only one Empress Wu left in the Wu family, and King Yan will save her life no matter what.
Taking her to Yangzhou as a bargaining chip in negotiations with King Yan must be valuable, and it can at least delay it for a moment or two.
But Queen Wu was unwilling to be used as a hostage.
She was held at the city gate and refused to eat or drink for two days and two nights.
Then he bit his tongue and tried to commit suicide while the soldiers forced him to drink.
With her tongue cut off, blood gushed out from her mouth, almost soaking through her clothes. Even the people of Yangzhou couldn't bear to see this, and secretly scolded the current imperial court for its unscrupulous tactics.
It was Xu Mingyi who took advantage of the darkness to shoot an arrow through her heart and took her life.
At this time, the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of her had a beautiful appearance, a dignified and gentle smile, and a look of exhaustion in her eyes that even makeup could not hide.
Xu Mingyi suppressed his past feelings and whispered with concern: "Your Majesty's face seems not to be well. Do you need me to check your pulse for you?"
"Miss Xu is still good at taking pulse?"
"Have a brief understanding of it."
"Then Miss Rao Xu will take a look at it for me." The queen smiled and stretched out her arm.
She knew her body well, and the imperial doctor was here, so there was no need for Xu Mingyi.
But it's because I really like the girl in front of me that I am so patient and full of interest.
Xu Mingyi took her pulse seriously, but doubts gradually arose in her heart.
This body is a little too weak, but it's a little weird...
It’s not like it’s just caused by worry and worry——
She explored it carefully again.
"how?"
Seeing the girl take back her hand, the queen asked softly.
