When Xiao Changqi arrived in the garden, Yuan Dan was being pinched and tossed around by Xiao Anhui, looking utterly hopeless.

Seeing the little bird lying there resignedly, letting itself be trampled, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"There are so many round feathers, why don't you give me some? When I get back, I'll have the Imperial Wardrobe make a hair ornament from them." As Xiao Anhui played with the feathers, she took a liking to the ones that were not commonly seen on New Year's Day.

New Year's Day: "Chirp!"

On New Year's Day, she refused to give it away because her feathers were so beautiful.

Xiao Anhui asked in surprise, "So you agree?"

"Chirp chirp!!"

I did not agree!

Just as Yuan Dan was jumping up and down in anger, Xiao Changqi finally came over, picked her up, and skillfully stroked her fur.

Upon seeing the man, Yuandan immediately buried her head in his chest and complained, "Chirp chirp."

She wanted to use my feathers as a hair accessory.

Xiao Changqi stroked the soft feathers on the little bird's head, his tone indifferent: "Didn't Consort Xian teach you that taking something without asking is stealing?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Anhui's face paled, and she murmured softly, "Wasn't I just discussing it with Yuanyuan?"

Xiao Changqi said coldly without any mercy, "Yuanyuan is my bird."

On New Year's Day, she looked up at Xiao Changqi for a while, then at Xiao Anhui, and finally let out a soft "chirp" before continuing to act like a quail.

It's a battle of the gods; she'd better not get involved.

Xiao Anhui pouted and said aggrievedly, "It's just a little beast that can't understand human speech. Seventh Brother, you actually scolded me for a little beast."

New Year's Day: "Chirp chirp~~"

I'm sorry.

She really does understand human speech.

"Yuanyuan is my pet bird, and it represents my reputation." Xiao Changqi's dark and unfathomable gaze was like a cold arrow, shooting mercilessly at her.

Xiao Anhui was a pampered princess in the palace. She was pampered and adored since childhood. Whatever she wanted, the palace servants would quickly find it for her, and she rarely suffered any grievances.

Now that she had run into a wall with Xiao Changqi, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Her tears might have some effect on others, but they were of no use to Xiao Changqi.

"Send Princess Anhui back."

Xiao Changqi didn't even glance at her, gave this instruction, and then left with the little bird in his arms.

Xiao Anhui stomped her foot angrily behind him: "Seventh Brother, they're right, you really have been bewitched by this little fat bird!"

New Year:"??"

Yuan Dan looked up at the man's cold, handsome features with a confused expression: "Chirp?"

Who are "them" referring to?

Xiao Changqi reached out and covered the little bird's pure eyes, his voice cool and indifferent: "It's none of your business."

"Chirp chirp".

But Princess Anhui just said that I have bewitched you.

Xiao Changqi maintained his cool and indifferent tone: "It's just a rumor."

"Chirp?"

What rumor?

Sensing the doubt in the bird's chirping, Xiao Changqi paused for a moment before speaking slowly and deliberately: "There is a folk saying that the Prince of Gan was so angry that he lost his ambition by playing with birds and spoiled one bird."

New Year:"??"

Could this bird from the rumors be her?

“There are even stories that say: ‘This bird is a fairy in disguise, with a beauty as beautiful as a fairy. Every night she will transform into a stunning beauty to seduce the king, causing him to lose his mind and dote on her alone…’ Are you a little fairy?”

"Chirp chirp!!"

I am not!

I don't!

What kind of writing is this?

Yuandan was so angry that it bristled in the man's palm, constantly flapping its wings at his wrist: "Chirp chirp."

How could you, as a cruel and ruthless tyrant, allow these people to write stories about you?

Xiao Changqi had a barely perceptible smile on his lips, but his voice remained as cold as ever: "If you want to read them, I can have a few sent over."

New Year's Day: "Chirp!"

Who said they wanted to see it?

I won't watch!
