After the New Year's greetings, the princess gave two big red envelopes, said a few auspicious words, and then sent Xue Ying to visit the garden with a tired face - the New Year was supposed to be a day of family reunion, but as a princess, she couldn't even see her husband, and she was in a better mood than a ghost. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suiwang's Mansion is not big, it didn't take long to reach the edge, and there was a lack of well-maintained rockeries and pools as far as the eye could see, and the pools were frozen but did not have a crystal clear feeling, but were as gray as the sky and depressed.

Red lanterns were hung on the branches of the trees on the side of the road, but the style was ordinary, and there was no decoration, probably because the subordinates were afraid of committing a taboo, so they coped with the matter. The princess's sick look is estimated to be okay with her usual life, the male owner has not come back for decades, and the female owner is like that, no wonder this Suiwang Mansion is lifeless.

When she arrived at the edge of the wall, Xue Ying hesitated for a while: although it was cold and boring outside, it was better than going back to face Princess Sui, the embarrassment and discomfort were too torturous.

I turned around the pool, and was helpless to go back, when I suddenly heard the howl of a bird, and then the gray sky suddenly darkened, and when I looked up, a pair of huge wings slid low in the air, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was amazing.

Xue Ying was startled, her feet slipped and she almost fell into the pool, but fortunately, Qiao Yayan grabbed her quickly.

"Miss!"

"County Lord!"

Everyone was frightened and was about to come around, but Xue Ying hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "I'm fine." ”

Looking up again, the big bird had already fallen, standing on the wall and looking at everyone condescendingly, that expression revealed an unusual posture.

It's huge!

Xue Ying's exclamation is not an exaggeration, in fact, she wants to use "so fat" to describe this bird, and she even doubts that this bird is so fat, how did it fly just now?

"What is this?" She asked.

The mother-in-law who led her around the garden hurriedly replied: "It's a domesticated eagle next door, and it doesn't usually fly, and I don't know how ......to do it today."

"No, how did you go up? Come down, I've prepared fresh lamb, beef, rabbit and fish today, what do you want to eat? ”

The eagle eagle glanced back, grunted disdainfully and then stretched his waist, the fat belly that was revealed made Xue Ying's eyes widen again, and then under the gaze of everyone, the eagle who stretched his waist did not maintain his balance, and fell backwards with a howl and fluttered his wings.

"Ouch!" There was a muffled sound and a human howl of pain from the other side of the wall, and then someone cried out in surprise, "Catch it, catch it, don't fall." Little Ancestor, what are you doing on the wall? How dangerous is it to jump so high? ”

Xue Ying was speechless: For an eagle, is it considered high on the wall? And there are birds that fall off the wall and get hurt?

The leading mother-in-law lowered her voice and said, "County Lord, let's go back, right?" ”

Obviously, Xue Ying was inexplicably startled, but this mother-in-law didn't even dare to make a sound for the master, which made Xue Ying a little strange: "Who lives over there?" ”

"Oh," said the owner of the mansion next door, and the mother-in-law's expression relaxed, "Next door is the mansion of the hidden king." ”

"The Hidden King?" Xue Ying didn't have this person in her impression at all.

"Yes." The mother-in-law didn't explain much, but led the way, "The county lord is here, please." ”

Xue Ying glanced back, and it seemed that a lot of people had gathered on that side to carry the eagle away, and then calmed down and made no sound: "What's going on with that bird?" She knows that some people like to keep eagles as pets, but it's too much to make an eagle look like that, right? If you can't fly, what's the difference between being scrapped?

The mother-in-law's expression suddenly became sincere and frightened: "That is the divine bird that the emperor gave to the hidden king, but you must not offend." County Lord, don't you think this happened today? ”

"Well, I'm fine anyway." Xue Ying is as good as a stream, but she secretly thinks about this matter in her heart. If you have a chance, you have to ask what was the situation in the past, and why is a bird more precious than a king? And who is this hidden king?

Intuition told her that the hidden palace next to her was not simple.

………………

Glaring, Xue Ying felt that the floor in front of her was about to be stared out of a hole by herself.

After a few circles in the garden, I finally passed the morning, and after lunch, I had nothing to do. I lay on the bed for a while, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, so I had to get up and stare at the floor. As soon as she thought that she would have to stay in this Suiwang Mansion tonight to keep the New Year, she felt that her future was bleak.

How can you survive this day and night? If you sneak out now, will people find out?

Although she has that thief's heart, she really doesn't have the courage to be a thief. In Jian'an Hou Mansion, she did something a little out of the ordinary and the third lady covered her, but this is the Suiwang Mansion, where everyone lives with their heads, if something really happens, I'm afraid she will be the only one who will suffer at that time.

was in a daze, and Qiaoya suddenly hurried in.

"Miss, just now the princess asked someone to deliver a letter, saying that the prince had a sudden serious illness and she went to visit Beizhuang."

Xue Ying Huoran stood up: "How's the situation?" Where's the princess? ”

"Said it was gone." Qiaoya also thought it was incredible, "The princess is too strange, she left without saying a word." Miss, what should we do now? ”

Xue Ying's eyes rolled: "Don't do it, wait." If the princess is not there, I will keep vigil. ”

Qiaoya doubted: "Will you be so well-behaved?" ”

Xue Ying smiled: "Of course I'm good, but I want to break it now." Qiaoya, you can help me inquire about the arrangements in this house tonight, and it will be up to you whether we can sneak out smoothly today. ”

Qiaoya showed the same evil smile as her: "Okay, okay, I want to go out too!" ”

In the inn.

The people who should go home for the New Year have all gone home, and the inn is extremely deserted, and even the shopkeeper and Xiao Er have gone on vacation. Xixi and Broken sat in the room, staring at a table of food.

Although he didn't speak, the disappointment in his eyes couldn't be hidden. In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the people in the courtyard would gather together, lively and lively, and it was the first time for the break to celebrate the New Year in such a deserted manner as today.

Xi Xi picked up the chopsticks and pinched a piece of chicken to the break: "Let's eat something." ”

Interrupted nodded obediently, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, when he suddenly heard movement outside, suddenly looked up, and his eyes, which had always been calm and waveless, flashed with joy. Before Xi Xi could react, he had already thrown down his chopsticks and rushed over to open the door.

"Dangdang, dang!" Xue Ying appeared at the door with a food box, followed by a string of people: Dong Xun, Aunt Sun and Uncle Shunzi's family, everyone was holding something, food boxes, snacks, candy, firecrackers, very complete, even tied hands with a pair of blessing characters.

Xi Xi stood up: "You guys are?" ”

"Chinese New Year!" Xue Ying entered the door and put down the food box, turned around and hugged the broken break and kissed it several times, "The New Year should be spent together lively, right?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Break nodded vigorously.

Dong Xun took out the food from the food box and set it up, and shrugged his shoulders to Xi Xi: "This is what Miss meant, they all agree, and I am embarrassed to disagree." ”

Xi Xi shook his head, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked slightly: "Bold guy!" ”
