When the Prince of Gan visited the Prime Minister's residence again, the Prime Minister hurriedly led his men out to greet him.
The Emperor had just bestowed a marriage upon Yuan Yan when Prince Gan came to visit. Some people couldn't help but wonder if Prince Gan had any objections to the marriage.
Xiao Changqi was unaware of what others were thinking. As soon as he entered the Prime Minister's residence, he handed the little bird to Yuan Qing.
Let him take the little bird to visit your sister on his behalf.
Yuan Qing: "??"
Did he hear that right?
The prince actually gave him his beloved bird.
He even asked the little bird to visit Yuanyuan in his place.
"Your Highness, what are you up to?" Yuan Qing asked in a low voice.
Xiao Changqi glanced at him coldly, his handsome face as if covered with a layer of chilling frost.
Yuan Qing immediately hugged the little bird tightly: "I'll take Yuan Yuan to see Yuan Yuan."
Yuan Qing: "..."
Something about that statement seems off.
"Is the little bird that the prince keeps also named Yuanyuan?" Yuan Jingwen happened to be on leave today and was with them. Hearing Yuan Qing's words, he couldn't help but chuckle. "What a coincidence."
Xiao Changqi stared blankly at the little bird, not even glancing at Yuan Jingwen.
"Chirp chirp." Yuandan stretched out her wings and patted the man's arm reassuringly, indicating that she would be back soon.
"Good boy." Xiao Changqi gently stroked the little bird's feathers, and the single word that came from the man's mouth was unexpectedly tinged with affection.
"Chirp".
See you in a bit.
Yuan Dan waved her wings at the man, and then Yuan Qing carried her to the courtyard where Yuan Dan was recuperating.
Yuan Jingwen took in this scene and said with a half-smile, "The little bird that the prince keeps is quite intelligent."
Xiao Changqi's cold, sinister gaze swept over him without a trace of warmth, his thin, cool lips revealing a hint of bloodthirsty ferocity.
Yuan Jingwen felt a chill run down his spine. He had no doubt that if he weren't a member of the Yuan family, he would probably have been torn to pieces by Xiao Changqi by now.
He's just an unloved, lowly wretch.
Concealing the ruthlessness in his eyes, Yuan Jingwen lowered his head slightly, appearing submissive and harmless.
Yuan Xiang also noticed that the Prince of Gan disliked Yuan Jingwen, and waved his hand to let his son and grandson go back.
The old prime minister knew that Prince Gan never visited the palace without a reason, so his visit must have been for something important to discuss with him.
"Your Highness, this way please." Prime Minister Yuan led Xiao Changqi directly to the study.
On the other side...
Yuan Qing, carrying the little bird, strolled leisurely towards the direction of Shangri-Yuan as if taking a walk.
In ancient times, New Year's Day was also called Shangri or Yuanri. However, Yuanri and the surname Yuan were incompatible, so the residence of "Yuandan" was named Shangri by the old prime minister.
"Chirp chirp." Seeing that Yuan Qing was walking slower and slower, Yuan Dan slapped his hand with its wing in dissatisfaction.
What are you dawdling about?
I promised Xiao Changqi I'd be back soon. At your pace, I definitely can't be back within an incense stick's time.
"You little fat bird, you've got some nerve! Do you even know who I am? How dare you hit me?" Yuan Qing teased the bird.
New Year's Day: "Chirp!"
I dare to swat at even a tyrant with a single wing, why would I be afraid of you?
When Yuan Qing saw the little bird roll its eyes at him, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on his lips. He stroked the little bird's head lightly and casually, saying, "You really can understand human speech."
New Year:"……"
Damn it.
He got carried away with his success.
Forget that this man isn't a real playboy; he's a cunning strategist who pretends to be weak while actually being cunning.
The little bird stiffened for a moment, a sight that did not escape Yuan Qing's eyes. The smile on his face became even more meaningful: "Your Highness would not suddenly be so concerned about a little pet unless this little pet has something extraordinary about it."
