Chapter 63: It's really lively in the Beast Garden
Xia Miaoyuan stretched out her little hand and reached for the pouch on the waist of the fifth prince.
The fifth prince was playful and liked to put ceramic marbles in his pouch.
Xia Miaoyuan took out a marble and threw it at the alpaca with all her strength.
The apricot-colored alpaca was hit on the leg by the marble, stunned for a moment, and continued to chew the leaves.
Xia Miaoyuan followed the same method and threw another marble.
He threw 5 marbles at the alpaca in a row, and each one hit the alpaca.
The alpaca spit out the leaves in its mouth, and anger appeared in its eyes.
Xia Miaoyuan immediately wrapped her little hand around the neck of the fifth prince and pressed down hard, forcing him to lower his head.
Ugh!
The alpaca spit out a large amount of saliva.
"Ah! What is that!" Qian Yuejiao reached out and touched the sticky liquid on her face, and screamed.
Because she was closest to the apricot alpaca, the saliva sprayed all over her face without a drop leaking out.
"Ah! Help! Help!"
Qian Yuejiao screamed in a panic.
She had lived in the mansion of the marquis since she was a child, and was used to being pampered. She usually liked cleanliness the most. Sometimes, if her clothes were stained with something dirty, she would rather throw them away than wear them again.
As for her love for small animals, she pretended to do so in order to win the favor of the prince.
In fact, when she just reached out to touch the alpaca, she was already covered with goosebumps out of disgust.
Now, this dirty animal in front of her actually spit saliva on her face, which was simply more uncomfortable than a beating.
The queen suppressed her laughter and ordered the palace maids to come forward and help her wipe her face.
Qian Yuejiao felt weak all over and wanted to vomit.
Her followers had no choice but to send her back to the mansion in a hurry.
[Hahaha, you dare to play tricks in front of this princess! ]
Xia Miaoyuan cheered in her heart.
The fifth prince looked at his sister with admiration.
His sister is really a fairy. She can actually make that strange sheep spit at Qian Yuejiao!
Presumably, using marbles to hit the strange sheep is to issue instructions to the strange sheep, right?
It's really amazing.
"Let's go see the birds." The prince broke the strange atmosphere and suggested.
"Miao'er has grown up so much, but it seems that she has never seen a parrot."
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Xiao Shengzi led everyone to the bird area.
The bird area is divided into the raptor area and the parrot area.
Xiao Shengzi heard the prince specifically mention parrots, so he took the initiative to lead everyone to the place where parrots were raised.
Xia Miaoyuan straightened up and looked carefully.
There were more than 20 wooden stakes standing in an open field, and a parrot was perched on each wooden stake, with thin iron chains tied to the parrot's ankles.
Budgies, golden parrots, black phoenixes, monk parrots... There are seven or eight kinds of parrots in total, and each kind of parrot is in pairs of two or four, except for the sunflower parrot, which is only one.
[Wow, so many parrots. I like this one. It's much more fun than alpacas.]
Xia Miaoyuan observed the parrots with great interest and clapped her hands happily.
"Oh, isn't this the Empress and the Concubine! Oh, Prince, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince are here too!" A slightly hoarse male voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary demeanor walking towards this side, followed by a lady in a red silk skirt.
"Your Highness and I pay our respects to the two madams, the crown prince, and the princes."
The middle-aged man stood still and saluted with the woman in red.
"It's the Duke. You are in a good mood today. You brought your daughter to visit the garden!" The queen smiled dignifiedly and politely.
Duke Deng Changsheng of Wei, his father was a founding hero of Daxia, so the Wei family had a special status in the court. Even the emperor and the queen had to give him some face on weekdays.
"This lady must be Yirou, the eldest daughter of your Deng family?" Concubine Shu looked at the woman in red and asked.
"It's the youngest daughter Deng Yirou." Duke Wei smiled.
"Girls really change a lot when they grow up. Yirou has grown into a beauty!" The queen said politely.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Xia Miaoyuan all looked at Deng Yirou, only to see that Deng Yirou raised her chin slightly, with a look of arrogance.
[Huh? Deng Yirou? It's her! Hahaha!]
Xia Miaoyuan thought of Deng Yirou in the book and couldn't help but grin a few times.
[Isn't this the famous arrogant girl Deng Yirou in the book?]
"Since the Duke is interested, why don't you go to the garden with us?" The Crown Prince said respectfully.
"Okay, okay. It's an honor for me and my daughter to go to the garden with you nobles." Duke Wei stroked his beard and smiled.
Everyone was talking, and suddenly, the voice of the Second Prince came over.
"Look, is there someone there?" The second prince asked, pointing to the rockery 20 meters away.
Everyone looked in the direction the second prince pointed, and in the pavilion on the rockery, there was a person in purple clothes vaguely visible.
The reason why it is vague is that there seems to be a mist shrouding the vicinity of the pavilion.
"Could it be a young man or young lady from some family?" Concubine Shu said lightly.
"Xiao Luzi, go and see who is in purple clothes." The queen ordered.
Everyone continued to look at the parrot. The second prince and the fifth prince spoke to the parrot word by word, teasing the parrot to speak.
Occasionally, a parrot would say "good luck" or "long live the emperor", and the second prince and the fifth prince would get excited.
"Your servant pays respects to the Empress, to the Concubine Shu, to the Crown Prince and the other princes. I pay my respects to Duke Deng."
Suddenly, a clear voice came into my ears.
"Your Majesty, look, I have brought someone here. It turns out that this is the third daughter of the Earl Zhijun's mansion." Xiao Luzi walked up to the Empress and reported.
Everyone turned their heads to take a closer look. They saw a graceful young lady in a purple gauze dress, with a light makeup on her face and
a very simple jewel on her bun. At first glance, she looked extraordinary and beautiful.
"I remember you. You are Mr. Shen's third daughter, Shen Limei." The queen smiled.
"Your Majesty has a good memory. I am so lucky to meet you in the garden today." Shen Limei said lightly.
[Who? Shen Limei? ]
[No way? I met her in the Hundred Beasts Garden? ! ]
Xia Miaoyuan was very surprised when he heard Shen Limei's name.
[Isn't she the Great Light of Xia? Hahahahaha...]
Xia Miaoyuan recalled Shen Limei in the book and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
[What kind of day is today? How come I have met three weird female supporting roles in a row?]
Weird? Female supporting role?
What does that mean?
The Queen and the Crown Prince were all confused after hearing Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts, but they still pretended to be calm.
The Fifth Prince looked at Xia Miaoyuan with a puzzled look.
My sister is so weird. What's so funny about such an extraordinary and fairy-like beauty sister?
