Not only is it non-toxic, but it's also very sweet and juicy.
Xiao Changqi then believed the bird's words and sent someone to pick some to feed it.
When the guards from the Prince's Palace said that the fruit was not poisonous, the onlookers exchanged skeptical glances.
Only after seeing the prince feed the birds fruit did some of the bolder people step forward to pick a few and try them.
"So sweet!" the person exclaimed in delight.
After the first person tried it, everyone else took a bite, and it was indeed sweet.
The old man who had previously warned everyone that the fruit was inedible was also somewhat skeptical. It wasn't until someone next to him picked one and handed it to him that he tentatively took a bite.
So sweet.
Although your mouth will be stained purplish-black, this fruit is really delicious.
And it's sweet.
Farm families rarely can afford sugar, and they even try to save as much oil and salt as possible when cooking.
So, once they knew the fruits weren't poisonous, everyone rushed to pick them.
After feeding the birds the last mulberry, Xiao Changqi looked up and saw that the fruit on the tree had almost all been picked by the people.
He stroked the little bird's head and asked, "Want more?"
Yuandan shook her head: "Chirp chirp."
Aren't there still bamboo berries on the carriage?
Let's go back and eat bamboo seeds.
Xiao Changqi then carried the bird back to the carriage after it had eaten its fill.
Then Yuandan jumped down from the man's hand and used her slightly pointed beak to pull a small package made of silk and embroidered with a little bird from the cushion.
Xiao Changqi leaned lazily against the carriage wall, watching the little bird stick its head into the small package and then pick out a bamboo fruit.
The little package was specially sewn for her by Green Sprout this morning; it's meant to hold bamboo seeds and other small items for the little bird.
The little bird used its short, sharp beak to poke open a corner of the bamboo seed, picked up a few grains of bamboo rice, and slowly began to eat.
"You greedy little bird." Xiao Changqi's face remained as cold as ever, but a hint of warmth quietly crept into his deep, dark eyes.
"Chirp chirp." The little bird chirped twice confidently.
Anyway, no matter how much I eat, you can afford to feed me.
That's true. Ever since Prince Gan started keeping birds, almost all the bamboo fruits in the capital have entered Prince Gan's mansion.
To keep the bamboo fresh, the servants would go and buy it every morning.
Gan Wang believed that since he was raising birds, he should give them the best.
Moreover, Xiao Changqi did not regard the bird as an ordinary bird.
...
Once they arrived at the village, after a hearty meal, New Year's Day had to go for a walk to digest her food. Her weight loss exercises had finally started to show some results, and she couldn't let them all go back to square one.
Xiao Changqi slowed his pace to wait for the little bird running behind him. Although he didn't turn around to stare at it, he did spare a bit of his attention for the bird.
Once inside the yard, the little bird finally showed signs of fatigue, its short legs taking a long time to take a single step.
Xiao Changqi didn't pick it up, but stood outside the door waiting for the little bird to come over on its own.
On New Year's Day, she really wanted to sit down on the ground and refuse to move, but looking at the man's expressionless face, she felt a surge of resentment and charged at him in one go.
Xiao Changqi only saw a small pink ball running aggressively towards him, then crashing to the ground with a thud, rolling several times before stopping.
Xiao Changqi: "..."
New Year:"……"
She should just die.
"Oh."
A faint chuckle suddenly came from behind. Yuan Dan lay on the ground with its wings spread out, tilting its head and glancing at the man with a puzzled look.
Just then, she saw the smile that hadn't yet faded in the man's eyes, like winter snow melting in an instant, turning into a gentle spring stream.
