Afraid……
Of course they're afraid.
But compared to being locked back in the cage, this fear is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, she could sense that Xiao Changqi actually had no ill intentions towards her.
"Chirp~" Realizing this, Yuan Dan took advantage of the situation and rubbed against the man's fingers, chirping softly in her little voice.
"No whining allowed." Xiao Changqi tugged at the little bird's pink feathers on the back of its neck, his face stern.
Xiao Changqi had spent several years at the border and had seen all sorts of strange birds, but this was the first time he had ever seen a bird with pink plumage that was also so fat.
Lord Zhuang, who brought the bird, said that it was a descendant of the ancient sacred beast Vermilion Bird, but it was still just a fledgling.
Xiao Changqi had never believed in gods or Buddhas, so naturally he didn't believe that this little fat bird was a descendant of the sacred beast Vermilion Bird.
"Who dyed your feathers like this?" Xiao Changqi asked as he carried the little bird out of the front hall.
He could tell that the fat bird could understand human speech.
"Chirp chirp chirp." Yuandan, daring to be bold, flapped its wing at the future tyrant's wrist.
What dyed it?
These are all-natural colors.
Xiao Changqi: "..."
Can't understand.
As he reached the door, Xiao Changqi stopped and handed the little bird that was clinging to his palm to the head steward: "If it doesn't like to stay in the cage, then don't keep it locked up."
"This old servant understands," the old steward said, bowing respectfully.
Xiao Changqi did not linger any longer. He put on his brocade fur coat and walked straight out of the palace gate.
As the head steward turned around with the little bird in his arms, Yuan Dan stole a glance at the man's handsome and dashing figure. She only looked away when the man nimbly mounted his horse and rode away.
I thought I was really going to become roasted bird meat.
After realizing she wouldn't be roasted, Yuan Dan was completely relieved and lay down in the little nest prepared for her by her maid to start thinking about her future.
She didn't know why she was dressed as a bird, but she had tried, and she couldn't turn back into a human at the moment.
Am I really going to live like a bird forever?
On New Year's Day, I looked at my round, plump bird body and my pink downy feathers.
Actually, she had never seen a pink bird before.
What's more, it's pure pink.
And she was certain that the little bird had no intelligence before she arrived.
Therefore, the bird should just be an ordinary, chubby little bird.
"Sigh." Yuan Dan sighed inwardly, tilted her head to look out the window, and blinked her beady eyes.
Just then, the sound of maids talking could be heard outside the door.
"I heard that Miss Sun from the Yuan family fell off her horse yesterday and was seriously injured. Even the imperial physicians are helpless."
"That young lady from the Yuan family..."
"She's still unconscious," the maid said in a low voice. "I heard from the sisters in the Prime Minister's residence that Miss Yuan might not wake up."
On New Year's Day, she listened quietly to the maids' whispers, trying to recall information about the young lady from the Yuan family.
However, apart from knowing that this young lady was the most favored granddaughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, all other information was blank.
The author didn't even mention the name of this Miss Yuan.
Hearing the surname Yuan gives me a strange sense of familiarity on New Year's Day.
Perhaps it's because she and Yuan Xiang both share the surname Yuan?
Before dinner, the maidservant who was taking care of her scattered a handful of beans and rice. Yuan Dan, who was determined to pretend to be an ordinary little bird, tentatively pecked at a bean and rice.
Ugh~
It doesn't taste good.
On New Year's Day, when the maid wasn't looking, he spat out the beans he hadn't chewed completely, and then refused to eat any more.
The maid named Lvya patted her head with some concern: "Yuanyuan, don't you like eating beans?"
With its head drooping, the bird looked rather pitiful.
"Chirp~"
I want to eat bamboo seeds.
