Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.
In previous years, the palace would hold a banquet on New Year's Eve.
But this year the old emperor was bedridden and had difficulty even getting up, so how could he have the mind to attend any palace banquet?
Xiao Changqi didn't care about these things, but etiquette couldn't be ignored, so the old steward still sent a letter of greeting to the palace.
Yuan Qing didn't want to spend the New Year at the Yuan residence, so he went to the Gan Prince's residence early in the morning with two jugs of wine.
They call it paying New Year's visits.
They were actually just there to freeload a meal.
Sun Jianchou also rushed back from Tongzhou and went straight to the Ganwang Mansion.
"Jin Jin, your master is back." Yuan Dan, who was awakened early in the morning by the sound of firecrackers from every household, flew to the Qique Courtyard to wake up Ma Xiao Que and Jin Jin.
Jin Jin kicked its paws, opened its eyes, and glanced at the incessantly chirping pink bird: "I don't have an owner."
On New Year's Day, he squatted between the two little birds' nest and asked, "Isn't Sun Jianchou your owner?"
“No,” Jin Jin said lazily, “He just happened to save me.”
"Isn't that your benefactor?" Yuandan poked the two little birds, who seemed to be in hibernation, with its wing.
It's Chinese New Year, time to get up!
“They are benefactors, not masters,” Jin Jin emphasized.
On New Year's Day, she spoke softly, "I should repay your life with my body."
Jin Jin rolled over and loudly retorted, "I'm a male bird!"
"Aren't you female?" Yuandan asked in confusion.
Jin Jin couldn't lie still any longer, so she sat up and glared at Yuan Dan with extreme morning grumpiness: "I'm male, do you want me to show you?"
New Year's Day: "What are you looking at?"
Jin Jin raised her chin: "Look at the mark of my masculinity."
New Year:"……"
never mind.
She really has no interest in birds.
After waking the two little birds, Yuandan flew back to Xiao Changqi's side.
The kitchen prepared dumplings for breakfast. The three people sat around a table, while three little birds sat on the side, some eating bamboo seeds and others eating wild fruits.
"It's still quieter here at Your Highness's place," Yuan Qing mumbled, putting a dumpling into his mouth.
Yuan Yan also returned to the Yuan residence for the New Year. Yuan Qing didn't want to see the people from the second branch of the Yuan family, so he only went to pay his respects in the morning and then slipped out of the Yuan residence and ran to the Prince's residence.
At this moment, Sun Jianchou suddenly called out to the little bird beside him, "Jinjin."
"Chu mi." Jin Jin responded without looking up.
"Don't you remember me?" Sun Jianchou put down his chopsticks, picked up some wild fruit, and went over to tease the little bird.
"Chu mi?"
The way you're describing it makes it sound like a worthless bird.
Jin Jin didn't want to talk to him and continued eating wild fruit by herself.
Xiao Changqi peeled a plate of bamboo seeds and looked up at the little pink bird that was slowly eating bamboo seeds: "Come here."
"Chirp chirp." Yuandan turned back into a bird that couldn't speak. She looked at the unfinished Lian Shi in front of her, then at the pile of white Lian Shi on the table in front of the man. In the end, she abandoned the unshelled Lian Shi and flew to the man's shoulder.
On New Year's Day, she squatted down obediently and accepted the man's feeding.
"Chirp chirp chirp." I want more.
Xiao Changqi caught the little bird and held it in his hand, rubbing her soft little belly: "Eat it later."
Hearing the man's words, Yuan Dan realized that she had eaten too much, so she stopped sweetly begging the man to eat more.
Yuan Qing, who was only focused on eating, stared at Xiao Changqi in shock.
Why did he feel that the prince's tone was somewhat gentle just now?
But how could the word "gentle" possibly be associated with Xiao Changqi?
Yuan Qing glanced at the two people who were each playing with their birds and suddenly felt extremely out of place.
