Xiao Changqi: "..."
This naughty little bird is good at playing the victim.
The New Year's Day decoration clung shamelessly to the man's finger, looking from a distance like the infamous Gan Wang carrying a ball of pink.
"Chirp chirp." Yuan Dan chirped softly twice, her little voice full of coquettishness.
Xiao Changqi reached out his other hand and pinched the bird's tail feathers, saying in a deep voice, "If you run around again, I will have your wings clipped."
Upon hearing this, the little bird immediately bristled: "Chirp chirp!!"
You dare!
Xiao Changqi understood what the little bird meant and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You can give it a try."
New Year:"……"
It's better not to try.
How painful must it be to have your wings clipped?
She's afraid of pain...
Yuan Dan doesn't know why she's so afraid of pain. She's never been injured since she was a child, and she's always been very lucky. Her friends always joke that she's a lucky koi fish.
As a result, she didn't become a lucky koi fish when she transmigrated into the book; instead, she became a little bird.
When faced with a man's words, Yuan Dan could only slump her head in agreement, then nonchalantly lay in the man's palm, flattening herself into a pancake.
She didn't seem worried at all that the man would actually clip her wings.
It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of Yuandan; rather, she had figured out Xiao Changqi's temperament—he was a proud and stubborn person with a soft heart.
He always threatened to roast her, but as long as she acted pitiful and used her tears, the man was basically helpless against her.
If other women who had used this method to gain the pity of the Gan King knew her thoughts, they would definitely think that the Gan King they knew was not the same person.
Although Xiao Changqi had a bad reputation, he was truly handsome and a prince, so some daughters of high-ranking officials in the capital were willing to marry him.
However, King Gan was a man who lacked romantic understanding. His methods of rejecting people were not exactly violent, but they were certainly not gentle either.
If the other person continues to cry in front of him, Xiao Changqi will stare at them with a sinister look in his eyes, and then have them thrown out without showing any mercy.
Young women are easily embarrassed, and being thrown out of the palace in front of so many people made them feel extremely ashamed. They cried and ran away, covering their faces.
From then on, no one dared to casually propose marriage at the Prince Gan's residence.
So far, Yuandan is the only bird that could move Xiao Changqi with a self-inflicted injury ruse...
...
After spending the night at the manor, Xiao Changqi took the little bird back to the capital. Since they set off before dawn, he kept dozing off on the way.
The little bird had been sharing a bed with Xiao Changqi for the past few days, and suddenly not being able to sleep on the man's head was a bit of a shock, but she quickly fell asleep again on the small bundle.
The small package was full of bamboo seeds and winter dates that the servants had picked that morning. It was very uncomfortable for the bird. Yuandan wiggled its tail uncomfortably and pried at the small package with its short little wings, trying to push the bamboo seeds and winter dates away.
But all their efforts were in vain.
Seeing that she was struggling, Xiao Changqi simply reached out and picked up the little bird, placing it on his lap. The little bird finally slept peacefully.
Just then, a hushed voice suddenly came from outside the carriage—
"Your Highness, an urgent report from Tongzhou."
Xiao Changqi took a wool blanket from the side and covered his legs, completely covering the little bird: "Nian."
"The Crown Prince, Li Dan, supplies."
Although it consists of only a few simple words, the meaning is very clear.
A few years ago, Daying and Lidan fought a war in Tongzhou. As the saying goes, "An army is only as good as its supplies."
However, after half a month of fighting, the grain stored in Tongzhou had long been used up. An urgent report requesting the distribution of grain from the capital was sent to the capital by fast horses shortly after the start of the war, but the grain was delayed.
News of the burned grain supplies did not reach Tongzhou until after the battle was over.
