Zuo Miaomiao didn't know how a foodie like her could help Fu Weiyun, and suspected that Fu Weiyun was going to play a prank on her again.
But since he had already asked, she felt embarrassed to refuse.
He replied, "Of course, no problem."
Fu Weiyun smiled slightly: "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he left.
Zuo Miaomiao waited anxiously for a while, and then Fu Weiyun returned with a box.
"Do you know how to make shuttlecocks? I'd like to trouble you to make one using these feathers."
Fu Weiyun said as he opened the box.
The box contained a dozen or so white feathers with a few speckles, which looked quite beautiful.
Zuo Miaomiao fell in love with it immediately.
What kind of bird is that?
"Gyrfalcon".
"Is that the divine eagle that can catch swans and fly a thousand miles in a day?"
"Yes."
Zuo Miaomiao was amazed.
"Where did you get so many gyrfalcon feathers? Did you pick them up in Liaodong?"
"I had a gyrfalcon, and this is the one I replaced."
Zuo Miaomiao was immediately filled with envy.
I've heard that the gyrfalcon is the most magnificent bird, and Fu Weiyun actually owns one, a top-quality one with white feathers.
That's so enviable.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of the gyrfalcon.
Seeing this, Fu Weiyun chuckled and said, "Miss Bai is not in the city, but in the suburbs."
So you weren't at the manor.
Zuo Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But then Fu Weiyun continued, "I'll let you see it sometime in the future."
"Really?"
Zuo Miaomiao was flattered and overwhelmed.
I am deeply ashamed of my previous petty thoughts.
Fu Weiyun is such a good person, how could he possibly use a screaming rat to mock her? She must have misunderstood.
I'm so sorry.
She must treat him better from now on.
Fu Weiyun: No, I just wanted to tease you.
Zuo Miaomiao thanked Fu Weiyun and went home with the gems and feathers.
After returning the gemstone to her father, she started making shuttlecocks.
She not only knows how to make shuttlecocks, but she's also very good at kicking them; none of the neighborhood girls can compare to her.
The shuttlecock made of gyrfalcon feathers was much prettier than the one made of chicken feathers. After finishing it, she went to the courtyard and couldn't wait to try it out.
Whether it was psychological or not, she felt that this shuttlecock was lighter than the ones she had used before. She caught it gently, and the shuttlecock flew very high.
It looked like a little bird was fluttering up and down.
It looks absolutely beautiful.
She was a little reluctant to return it to Fu Weiyun.
She wondered if he had any extra feathers so she could ask for some and make one for herself.
Just as she was thinking this, a strong gust of wind blew, sending the shuttlecock she had kicked into the air flying to the neighbor's house.
The house next door belongs to the Gong family, the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud. The Gong family is the maternal family of the Second Prince's wife, and they are not easy to get along with.
Just as Zuo Miaomiao was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard a child's voice from next door: "Hey? There's a shuttlecock here, and the feathers on it look strangely familiar."
"Isn't this a gyrfalcon's feather?"
A nonchalant voice replied.
“We went hunting in the countryside a few days ago and we met a white gyrfalcon, didn’t we? You even tried to catch it.”
"Ah! I remember now, the feathers of that gyrfalcon and this shuttlecock are exactly the same color. Could someone have shot that bird? That's clearly my gyrfalcon!"
The child said angrily.
"This is outrageous! I'm going to burn this shuttlecock!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Miaomiao was so startled that she quickly spoke up.
"Your Highness, that's my shuttlecock!"
She had heard this child's voice many times. He was the only child born to the Second Prince's wife and the Second Prince, Situ An.
Although Situ An was not made the Crown Prince, he was His Majesty's only grandson and was greatly favored.
The owner of that nonchalant voice was Gong Ershao, who was also Situ An's second maternal uncle.
Gong Ershao held a nominal position in the Imperial Guard, but rarely went to the guard post. He spent his days idly, engaging in cockfighting and dog walking.
Situ An was only five years old, a time when he was very playful, and he often went out of the palace to play with Gong Ershao.
Zuo Miaomiao had overheard many of their conversations and knew that Situ An was a little tyrant. When he said he was going to burn shuttlecocks, he definitely wasn't joking.
If the shuttlecock really gets burned, how will she explain it to Fu Weiyun?
She needs to get the shuttlecock back.
Upon hearing this, Situ An instructed his guards to take him and Gong Ershao to the Zuo family's courtyard.
Looking at Zuo Miaomiao with an arrogant air, he asked, "Did you kill that gyrfalcon?"
Zuo Miaomiao quickly waved her hand: "No, I found this feather."
Where did you find it?
"Found it in the suburbs."
Zuo Miaomiao mumbled.
She didn't want to implicate Fu Weiyun.
Judging from the conversation between Situ An and Gong Ershao, they wanted to capture the gyrfalcon. If they knew that the gyrfalcon belonged to Fu Weiyun, they would definitely force Fu Weiyun to hand it over.
Young Master Gong, however, was adept at reading people's expressions, and he could tell from her tone that she was lying.
"You'd better tell the truth, or not only will you lose this shuttlecock, but you'll also lose your father's official hat."
He threatened and intimidated.
However, they underestimated Zuo Miaomiao.
Zuo Miaomiao knew that her father was upright and honest, and dared to impeach even the Emperor, and was not afraid of anyone framing him.
Gong Ershao's threats had no effect on her whatsoever.
She said angrily, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, fine. I accidentally kicked the shuttlecock next door. If you dare to burn the shuttlecock, I'll report you to the authorities."
ha?
Gong Ershao was amused by her.
"Are you a three-year-old? Going to report me to the authorities over a shuttlecock? The magistrate of the capital would never pay you any attention."
