Remove the bird from his hair, Xiao Changqi got up, put on his outer robe, and strode out.
Feeling itself being moved out of its nest, New Year's Day kicked its short legs a few times, wiggled the tip of its short tail, and then rolled over to continue sleeping on its belly.
Xiao Changqi returned after performing a set of boxing moves. Seeing that the little bird was still asleep, he didn't call it. However, the servant who brought in water was startled to see a pink ball on the prince's bed.
The prince would actually let a little bird get into his bed?
It seems the rumors aren't entirely false.
The prince certainly showed some favoritism towards this little bird.
Xiao Changqi gave the overstepping servant a cold look, and the servant was terrified, immediately lowering his head and daring not to look again.
After washing up, Xiao Changqi changed into his court robes and went to the morning court session.
I slept until after 7 a.m. on New Year's Day, and as usual, I ate breakfast and then went to the garden to do aerobics.
Xiao Changqi returned quite early today, but he didn't come back alone.
The girl who returned with Xiao Changqi had her hair styled in a drooping bun with a pearl hairpin adorned with tassels. She had a fair and delicate face, smooth skin, and eyes that sparkled like stars. She wore an embroidered green pleated dress, and the bells tied at her waist made a melodious and clear sound as she walked.
"Seventh Brother, where's your bird?" The girl looked around excitedly.
She had gone to great lengths to beg Seventh Brother to return to the manor with him, just to see the legendary little bird that Seventh Brother cherished dearly.
Xiao Changqi remained silent, but the head steward following behind the two replied at the opportune moment, "Your Highness, Yuanyuan is still playing in the garden at this hour."
Upon hearing the old steward's words, Xiao Anhui immediately rushed to the garden, urging Xiao Changqi, "Seventh Brother, hurry up!"
"Princess, please slow down," Xiao Anhui's personal princess called softly as she chased after her.
Watching Xiao Anhui run off into the distance, the head steward smiled meaningfully and said, "Princess Anhui is truly childlike."
Xiao Changqi glanced at the old steward with a nonchalant air, but the deep, dark light in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.
The head steward hurriedly bowed and said, "This old servant has overstepped his bounds."
Xiao Changqi calmly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the garden.
Seeing this, the head steward hurriedly followed.
In the garden.
After finishing her aerobics workout on New Year's Day, she lay lazily in the flowerbed, sunbathing, when two footsteps approached from afar and stopped not far from her.
She opened her eyes groggily, struggled to sit up, and looked over at the sound.
A beautifully dressed young woman was talking to Green Sprout. Green Sprout bowed respectfully and pointed in her direction, so the young woman turned to look at her.
New Year:"??"
Who is this girl?
The girl originally wanted to come over to her, but was stopped by the palace maid beside her. Then Green Sprout came over, picked her up, and turned back.
Green Sprout held the little bird in both hands so the girl could see it more clearly: "Your Highness, this is the little bird the Prince keeps, Yuan Yuan."
Xiao Anhui exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's so fat?"
New Year:"……"
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a plump little bird," said the palace maid Cuiyi in surprise.
New Year's Day: "Chirp!"
Don't think that just because you're a princess, I won't dare to peck you.
"How could Seventh Brother have thought of raising such a fat little bird?" Xiao Anhui asked innocently. "It's not even as pretty as the thrush that Consort Shu kept."
New Year's Day patted Green Sprout's hand with its wings: Don't stop me, Green Sprout, if I don't scratch her face today, I'm not New Year's Day.
Green Sprout, who had no intention of stopping her: "?"
