Chapter 552 After accidentally entering the palace, the emperor burst into tears when he saw her
Shen Chuwei carried Xuetuan and walked towards the corner where stinky tofu was sold. From a distance, she saw that the bulletin board was crowded with people, all sighing.
"With such a big commotion, I thought someone was missing, but it turned out to be a bird."
"You have never seen the world. The pets in the palace are very valuable. They are more important than your life. If they are lost, you must find them."
Shen Chuwei squeezed into the crowd with curiosity and saw an imperial edict posted on it. It said that a colorful feather was lost in the palace and a reward was issued to find it. On the right side was a portrait of a colorful feather. Its head looked a bit like a parrot, but its tail looked a bit like a phoenix, and its body looked like a pheasant...
It would be a miracle if you could find it with this weird looking portrait~
Shen Chuwei just came to watch the excitement, and after the excitement was over, she took Xuetuan to buy some stinky tofu.
The stall selling stinky tofu is still in the original place, but it is located a bit out of the way, probably because it smells a bit bad.
When Shen Chuwei came, the stall owner recognized her at a glance, mainly because there are very few girls like Shen Chuwei who are beautiful and love to eat stinky tofu.
In addition, Shen Chuwei was sweet, pretty, and spoke nicely, so the stall owner remembered her at first sight.
"Girl, do you want some stinky tofu?" the stall owner greeted her enthusiastically.
Shen Chuwei sniffed it and said with a smile, "Give me ten pieces of stinky tofu."
"Okay." The stall owner took out an oil paper bag, put in the stinky tofu that had just come out of the pot, sprinkled it with chili sauce and coriander, and then handed it to her happily.
Shen Chuwei lowered her head and looked at Xuetuan in her arms. It was a little inconvenient to eat while holding Xuetuan. Xuetuan seemed to see through it and climbed swiftly onto her shoulders and continued to lie there.
She then reached out and took out her wallet. As soon as she put her hand in, she heard the stall owner say with a smile.
"No need to pay. Your followers paid a lot of money two days ago."
"Okay then." Shen Chuwei put the wallet back into her sleeve pocket, took the stinky tofu from the stall owner, poked a piece of stinky tofu with a bamboo stick and put it into her mouth to eat. The stinky tofu just out of the pot was particularly fragrant.
Shen Chuwei continued walking around while eating to see if there were any other delicious foods.
Just then, a colorful bird circled above her head.
Xuetuan raised his head and looked at the colorful bird above his head. He stood up and called to the bird: "Meow."
There was a hint of provocation in that cry.
Shen Chuwei was eating stinky tofu and didn't notice a bird circling above her head. She looked up at Xuetuan and kindly reminded him, "Be careful not to fall."
Xuetuan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei, as if to remind her, "Meow."
However, Shen Chuwei, whose attention was always on the stinky tofu, did not hear Xuetuan's reminder and continued to eat the stinky tofu.
Suddenly I felt a little thirsty, so I walked towards the sweet soup stall.
The colorful bird flapped its wings, circled a few times, and followed Shen Chuwei.
Xuetuan propped up his body, and kept staring at the bird with his deep blue eyes, as if he was looking for an opportunity to catch the bird.
Shen Chuwei bought a bowl of sweet soup and drank a few sips to quench her thirst. She looked at the mung beans in the bowl and suddenly wanted to eat a green mood, mung bean flavored popsicle~
It’s a pity that ice cubes are only available in the palace, otherwise I would have bought a few mung bean popsicles to satisfy my craving.
The colorful bird was originally circling in the sky, but it suddenly flapped its wings and lowered its circling altitude.
The guard saw Iroha circling not far away and shouted, "Look, Iroha is over there, hurry over there."
Dozens of guards rushed towards Iroha upon hearing this.
Then the chief guard ordered: "Go back and report that Caiyu has been found."
"As you command." The little guard turned around and ran back.
People on the street consciously made way for it.
Shen Chuwei drank the sweet soup in one breath, and then continued to eat stinky tofu. After walking for a while, she saw a group of armored guards coming towards her. She subconsciously stepped aside to make way for them.
After retreating to a safe area, Shen Chuwei continued to eat stinky tofu with her head down. Suddenly, she saw dozens of black boots in front of her...
She raised her head in confusion and found a group of guards standing in front of her.
There was a flash of doubt in Shen Chuwei's eyes. She had been in Nanzhao Kingdom for a few days, and it seemed that she had not done anything wrong?
Maybe it was a misunderstanding?
Shen Chuwei tried to go to the right.
The birds overhead fluttered their wings and followed behind.
When the guards saw Caiyu move, they immediately moved their positions, fearing that Caiyu would run away again and they would not be able to complete their mission.
Shen Chuwei suddenly stopped, a strange scene happened, and the guards also stopped.
She tried several times. When she moved, the guards moved with her. It was obvious that they were coming towards her.
Shen Chuwei stood where she was, not daring to act rashly, because she didn't know why the other party was blocking her.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.
Respond to ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged!
This stalemate lasted for a long time.
The bird flew lower and lower, and the guards' sight followed its colorful feathers. The bird flapped its wings and finally landed on Shen Chuwei's shoulder.
The guards stared at Iroha intently.
But in Shen Chuwei's eyes, she was staring at her closely.
She thought carefully about what happened in Nanzhao Kingdom in the past few days and found that she had been sleeping in the inn most of the time. She had no chance to cause any trouble and she was not a troublemaker.
Xuetuan saw the bird flying down and stretched out his claws to catch it, so Shen Chuwei didn't realize that it was a bird and not Xuetuan's claws that were holding her shoulder.
The chief guard saw Caiyu and waved his hand, "Surround it, don't let it run away."
The guards slowly formed a circle and surrounded Shen Chuwei.
Shen Chuwei: “…” What on earth do they want to do?
Looking at the guards approaching, Shen Chuwei felt that if he didn't run now, he would not be able to escape.
She turned her head and whispered to Xuetuan, "Come down and run by yourself. You're so fat, you'll hold us back."
Snowball: “…”
Shen Chuwei urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, if you don't run now, you won't be able to escape."
At this moment, a clear bird cry startled Shen Chuwei. She turned her head to look over her left shoulder and met a pair of small dark eyes...
Where did the bird come from?
The head of the guards finally spoke up and reminded her, "Young lady, please stand still. Otherwise, Caiyu will be scared and fly away."
Shen Chuwei suddenly realized that they were coming for the bird, not to catch her?
She suddenly remembered the imperial edict on the bulletin board. Was this the colorful feather that was lost from the palace?
She stared at the bird for a few more seconds. There were three spiritual whiskers on its head, which glowed sapphire blue under the sun.
The head looks a bit like a parrot, and the body is small and delicate, not at all like a pheasant. I don't know how the artist drew a pheasant's body.
At this moment, Shen Chuwei was much calmer. As long as it wasn't directed at her, there was no need to worry.
She held Xuetuan in her arms and soothed it, telling it not to move around and not to eat Caiyu.
The guards did not dare to move, for fear that Caiyu would fly away.
After a stalemate lasting for about an incense stick of time, the captain of the guards noticed that Caiyu was standing on Shen Chuwei's shoulder and had no intention of leaving, so they did not dare to step forward.
After thinking it over, the chief guard said, "Miss, if you send Caiyu to the palace, I will give you a reward."
Shen Chuwei looked at the silly bird and asked in confusion: "How can I send it?"
The chief guard thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead and try. If Caiyu doesn't fly away, it means she likes you. Then you can send her to the palace."
Shen Chuwei had seen the imperial edict before. The fact that it could be found on the imperial edict showed that this silly bird was very precious.
"I don't want a reward, can you agree to one of my requests?"
The captain of the guards nodded without even thinking, "No problem, all ten requests are fine, as long as Caiyu can be sent to the palace."
"Then I'll try." Shen Chu glanced at the silly bird on her shoulder and said, "If you have the guts, just stand there and don't move." She held the snowball and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
After walking a few hundred steps, the silly bird stood on his shoulder and showed no intention of leaving.
Shen Chuwei turned his head and looked at the head guard who had been following behind him and said, "You lead the way."
"Okay." The captain of the guards ordered some of the guards to follow behind while others led the way.
Shen Chuwei followed the guards all the way to the palace. With the guards clearing the way in front, they entered smoothly.
The imperial palace of Nanzhao Kingdom is majestic and impressive, and one can tell at a glance that a lot of thought was put into the design of the gardens inside.
After walking such a long way, Caiyu had been standing on Shen Chuwei's shoulders, which made the captain of the guards secretly relieved. All he had to do was send Caiyu back to Wuyou Palace.
The palace was so big that Shen Chuwei's legs were sore from walking. She hadn't reached the designated place yet, so she couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"
The chief guard said, "There is still halfway to go."
Shen Chuwei: “…”
At this moment, a shrill voice came, "The Emperor has arrived."
The guards knelt in unison.
Shen Chuwei stood there without moving, mainly because she was afraid that if she squatted down, the stupid bird would fly away, and her efforts would be in vain.
Following the eunuchs' loud shouts, a tall figure came over surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. The man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a golden crown on his head, and he exuded an imperial aura.
The first time Shen Chuwei saw the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, he looked to be about fifty years old and a little bit fat. Although he was old, his facial features were still calm and handsome.
The chief guard stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Caiyu has been found."
When Ye Haoting learned that Caiyu was found, he rushed over impatiently and saw a girl in pink standing in the yard, with Caiyu standing on her shoulder.
When he saw the girl's face, he was shocked for a long time.
Caiyu has been raised in Wuyou Palace and has never been so close to anyone except Xiaojiu.
Now you can see that the girl's face is very similar to Xiaojiu's, and the pet in her arms is exactly the same as it was ten years ago.
Could it be that Xiaojiu has returned after being missing?
Shen Chuwei looked at the Emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom in front of him with a confused look on his face. He was in tears and looked surprised and happy. It was just a bird. If you didn't know, you would think he had lost his children...
Ye Haoting took a few steps forward and looked her up and down. He hadn't seen her for ten years. She had grown a lot, but she was no different from when she was a child. She loved wearing pink clothes and carried snowballs with her wherever she went.
He couldn't suppress his excitement in his voice: "Xiaojiu, you're back?"
There was a hint of doubt in Shen Chuwei's eyes, "How do you know my nickname?"
Ye Haoting was more certain that she was Xiaojiu after hearing this. He was surprised and delighted: "It's too hot outside, let's go in first."
