The good ones only praised Qiao Yu's appearance, while the bad ones said that Qiao Yu was a foxy woman who was the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old fox. There were even more unpleasant and unbearable comments, but no one laughed at Qiao Yu and called her an "abandoned woman" anymore.
"Prince An also sent a mynah bird today. Your Majesty, what do you think...?"
Unlike clothes and jade, the mynah bird cannot be put into the warehouse as usual. After all, it is a living bird.
"Mynah? Let me take a look."
The young eunuch holding the mynah bird outside the door had been listening with his ears perked up, waiting for orders. When he heard the order from his master, he immediately trotted in.
This mynah bird seemed to have become a spirit. As soon as it saw Qiao Yu, it immediately shouted:
"Empress Hua is a goddess who only exists in heaven. It is rare to see her in the human world. She is so beautiful that the moon and flowers are ashamed and the fish sink to the bottom of their bodies!"
The starling's unique sharp voice made these flatteries sound quite funny, which made the woman laugh uncontrollably. Her almond eyes were smiling, charming and enchanting, and the ground was covered with mist and water, and she was full of charm.
The young palace maids and eunuchs beside them couldn't help blushing when they saw their queen smiling. How could their queen be so beautiful, like a fairy?
"Alright, stay. Prince An is so thoughtful. I'll thank the Emperor on your behalf later."
Qiao Yu preferred quietness, so the sudden arrival of a starling had brought a rare burst of activity to Lan Zhao Hall. Strangely enough, the starling only spoke when it saw Qiao Yu; otherwise, it was quite well-behaved and quiet.
At this time, Yu Yuanting walked in:
"May your Majesty be blessed with good health. The Emperor has asked me to bring you lunch to share with the Empress Dowager."
After saying this, Yu Yuanting thought of the mynah bird he had just seen, and thought that Concubine Hua had never been interested in birds. If the emperor liked this precious bird so much, the Lan Zhao Palace would probably be filled with birds. How come there was suddenly a mynah bird in the Lan Zhao Palace today?
I guess who sent it:
"What joyful event is this today? I heard Miss Zhu'er's laughter from afar. Your Majesty, please do me the favor of sharing in the joy."
Qiao Yu had no intention of hiding it, so she said, "The mynah bird Prince An sent is quite interesting, so I'll keep it. Later, Eunuch Yu will tell the Emperor to thank Prince An on my behalf."
The woman was half leaning lazily on the chaise longue, with her eyes closed, looking very relaxed.
Yu Yuanting wiped the sweat from his forehead. He thought to himself that he had said something so damning. However, he also cleverly pretended to apologize and said awkwardly:
"Your Majesty, can you please let me live for a few more days? Your Majesty is well aware that the Emperor is keeping a close eye on you. Will you please come over to dinner and talk to the Emperor about this?"
It was only because this lady was so easy to talk to that Yu Yuanting dared to refuse. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would be punished with a cane for not handling such a "small matter".
"Alright, I'll go over and pay my respects to the Queen Mother later. I'm sorry to trouble Eunuch Yu to make the trip."
"No trouble, no trouble."
It's a blessing to be alive, Yu Yuanting wiped the sweat off his forehead in disappointment. The emperor and the regent were at loggerheads with each other, and they, the slaves, were at the bottom of the pile.
