From New Year's Day onwards, he moved from Qique Hall to Yangxin Hall, where he slept in the same bed and at the same table with Xiao Changqi every day.
As a result, everyone in the palace knew that the little bird His Majesty kept was His Majesty's beloved pet.
It cannot be moved.
I heard that one of the late emperor's concubines threw the emperor's beloved pet into the pond, and was subsequently given poisoned wine and died in the palace.
Is Your Majesty raising a little bird or a bewitching concubine?
There's no shortage of gossipy people in the palace. On New Year's Day, people were either hearing that Xiao Changqi had beheaded some minister, or that some palace maid or eunuch had been overheard by His Majesty while whispering and had been beaten to death.
Judging from the New Year's Day, if things continue like this, Xiao Changqi will definitely become a tyrant in the eyes of the people.
When Xiao Changqi returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the Imperial Study, Yuandan fluttered into the man's arms and chirped twice.
Xiao Changqi rubbed the little bird's head and ordered the servants to leave.
Only then did he settle accounts with the little bird, saying casually, "Why didn't you go find that little bald bird today?"
On New Year's Day, she whispered a reminder: "She has a name, it's Jin Jin."
Xiao Changqi sneered, showing no intention of changing his mind.
“Besides, I have important business with Jinjin,” Yuandan said seriously as she jumped onto the man’s shoulder.
Xiao Changqi sat down, holding the little bird in his hand, and asked expressionlessly, "What important matter is it?"
"Didn't you used to say I was a fairy bird?" Yuan Dan said lightly, lying in the man's palm with one of her little claws raised. "That's why I'm learning how to transform into human form from Jin Jin."
Xiao Changqi was taken aback: "You can transform into human form?"
On New Year's Day, a wing slapped against the man's wrist: "I am a human being."
Xiao Changqi raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile hidden in his eyes: "Isn't it Little Phoenix?"
New Year:"……"
On New Year's Day, she argued forcefully: "The little phoenix can also transform into human form."
Xiao Changqi didn't speak, clearly not taking the little bird's words to heart.
On New Year's Day, Chirp chirped and pecked at him with its beak: "I really can transform into human form."
The man gave a perfunctory "Mm".
On New Year's Day, I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I flapped my wings and went to find Jinjin.
"Where are we going again?" Xiao Changqi grabbed the little bird's tail feathers.
"Go find Jinjin and the sparrows to play." Yuandan twisted her round body, trying to get rid of the man's hand that was holding her tail feathers.
"You are not allowed to go," Xiao Changqi said coldly.
Then he held the little bird in his hand and asked, "Have you finished reading the storybook I had someone find for you last time?"
"No." Unable to escape the man's grasp, Yuan Dan could only lie down and let himself be rubbed. "Your Majesty, would you like to tell me a story from a book?"
Xiao Changqi casually unfolded a storybook: "Which story would you like to hear?"
On New Year's Day, it peeked out and pointed at one of them with its wings: "This one."
On New Year's Day, she squatted on the table, listening attentively to the man's speech. As she listened, her gaze drifted to the man.
Although the palace servants always said how bloodthirsty and cruel men were, he was genuinely good to her.
"Your Majesty, will you treat your future Empress this well?" Yuan Dan suddenly asked.
Xiao Changqi paused in his reading of the storybook, turned the page with his slender fingers, and said calmly, "Hmm."
Yuan Dan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, when will you get married?"
Xiao Changqi shifted his gaze from the storybook to the little bird, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Whenever the little bird I raised takes human form, I will get married."
My heart skipped a beat on New Year's Day.
She turned her head away and muttered softly, "Then you might not be able to marry an empress for a hundred years."
Xiao Changqi nodded nonchalantly: "Then I'll marry her again in a hundred years."
