Just as they were wondering, they saw black dots of all sizes appear and fly towards them. As they got closer, they realized that it was a flock of birds. Among the flock were common sparrows, beautiful orioles, and other colorful birds of unknown species. The most eye-catching bird was the peacock at the very front.
However, the peacock did not fly in from the distant sky, but leaped in from outside the walls of Ganlu Palace. Its posture was graceful and its lines were smooth. After landing lightly, it walked towards Hu Nuan'er.
The birds flew over and circled around Hu Nuan'er, some even landing on her palms and shoulders, chirping and singing.
This stunned the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies and the group from Little Liang. They stared in disbelief at the scene before them, while Ah Feng began to exclaim excitedly, "Holy Maiden! This is the power of our Holy Maiden!"
Wow! What kind of amazing ability is this?
Chuanwen went to dig through the melons and found it quickly, then couldn't stop laughing to himself: [Hahahaha...]
The emperor's brow twitched slightly as he heard Chuanwen's laughter. He glanced at the few people from Xiaoliang Kingdom, relieved that they couldn't hear Chuanwen's thoughts, and then went to enjoy the scene before him with peace of mind.
But the message reads: "The bird was released by the Second Prince! The large peacock had been waiting outside in the corner for a while; as soon as the whistle blew, they threw it in!"
But why are all the birds surrounding Hu Nuan'er?
[Oh, so these birds were originally raised by the palace's animal trainers; they would fly over to perform when they heard a specific whistle!]
Chuanwen's gaze fell on the ring on Hu Nuan'er's index finger. At first glance, the ring didn't seem like anything special, but after Chuanwen looked closely, he quickly discovered that there were many openworks on the ring. He figured that the whistling sound was coming from those openworks.
The emperor remained unfazed, while the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial wiped his sweat. So that's what happened! He was so frightened that he actually thought Hu Nuan'er had some kind of special ability.
At this moment, a palace maid rushed in in a panic. Upon seeing the people in the courtyard, she became even more flustered and immediately kowtowed when she saw the emperor.
The emperor asked in confusion, "Where do you work? What are you doing here?"
The young palace maid hurriedly reported, "This servant...this servant works in Consort Meng's courtyard, specifically in charge of the peacocks she feeds. But just now, I don't know where a whistle came from, and the peacocks seemed to be summoned and flew away. Fearing something might happen, this servant chased after them..."
The emperor laughed heartily and explained to him that it was just the holy maiden of the Little Liang Kingdom summoning him, and that he should not panic.
Chuanwen, who silently watched the two act: "...Silence is the Cambridge of tonight."
The emperor said he didn't understand, so he ignored it.
The people from Xiao Liang Kingdom, however, were even more convinced that Hu Nuan'er possessed the abilities of their Holy Maiden.
The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial wiped his sweat again, wondering if he should also lend a hand. But when he looked at the little palace maid, whose face was pale and lips were trembling, he realized that her flustered appearance didn't seem like an act. He glanced at her again and suddenly felt that she looked familiar.
Seemingly noticing someone watching him, the little palace maid looked over and met the eyes of the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies. She blinked her innocent eyes, and the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies almost coughed up.
Isn't this He Lingce, the one with exceptional talent in poetry and prose who was recently promoted to the emperor's side, achieving a leap in rank?!
When He Lingce saw that the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial recognized him, he winked at him so quickly that the Vice Minister thought he was seeing things. When he looked again, the man still had that nervous look on his face, as if he had seen an important person.
Even the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial wanted to give He Lingce a thumbs up. "Lord He, you're truly a man of great talent!"
It was fortunate that the Liang Kingdom members were so dazzled at the palace banquet that they didn't notice this low-ranking official, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have trusted He Lingce to act.
At this point, Hu Nuan'er finished demonstrating her interaction with the birds and began to demonstrate other abilities. The emperor had a tiger brought in, saying that the tiger was wild and difficult to tame, and that the animal trainer had been raising it for a year but had not yet managed to tame it.
The tiger was indeed ferocious, ramming the iron cage with a loud clang, scaring the Liang Kingdom members to death. Ah Feng looked at Hu Nuan'er with great concern, fearing that their Holy Maiden, standing in front of the tiger-dragon, would be swallowed by the tiger.
Hu Nuan'er was also scared, her face turned pale, but the desire to escape the cold palace still subtly prevailed, preventing her from running away. She almost stiffly completed the set of movements that the animal trainer had taught her.
The tiger gradually calmed down, and Hu Nuan'er finally felt relieved. She continued to gesture, and the tiger followed her every move, sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, sometimes rolling around, without showing any anger.
The eyes of everyone in Xiao Liangguo were practically popping out of their sockets, and Ah Feng excitedly grabbed the old man's arm, "Sir, I told you! She is our Holy Maiden!"
【Well......】
Looking at the text, I felt a little sorry for those people.
[The tiger is a good tiger. It only rammed into its cage because it was given some medicine two hours ago, and it calmed down just because the effects of the medicine had worn off... It sat and rolled around because it saw a specific command, and Hu Nuan'er was just performing the set of actions that the animal trainer had taught her...]
The emperor still smiled slightly. "Hmm? What? I can't hear you."
The position of Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies was already blank. However, while Hu Nuan'er was performing, Chuanwen also went to investigate why the Holy Maiden of Little Liang Kingdom had the ability to communicate with animals. Could it really be a special talent?
Upon further investigation, they were stunned: [The first Holy Maiden of Little Liang Kingdom was a beast tamer from Great Jin?]
The emperor was also taken aback, as was He Lingce, who was playing the nervous little palace maid. "Where's my pen!"
[He seems to be the emperor's great-grandfather, a real banquet maniac! He held banquets every other day. When he was young, it was alright; he would still handle some state affairs between banquets. But in his old age, he didn't care about state affairs at all and spent all his time partying with his ministers. This old man in his sixties could still breakdance at banquets to entertain everyone, hahaha!]
