Chapter Seventy-Seven: Parroting

Mu Chenghuang returned to Jinglan Palace, and received a letter sent in by Shen Ke Peony, Mu Chenghuang had been communicating with Shen Ke before, and it was not surprising, but during this time, Shen Ke came to the capital and acted conveniently outside the palace, before Mu Chenghuang asked Wen Zhi to follow Zhou Yang back to Beijing from Fangyuan, but he found nothing, not that Wen Zhi was useless, Mu Chenghuang probably guessed that Zhou Yang was too vigilant this time, so Wen Zhi couldn't find anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But this fox's tail has been hidden for a long time, and it will always reveal flaws, Shen Ke's methods are clever, the Shen family's shops have blossomed everywhere, and the best intelligence officers are always hidden in the middle of the market, so it is very important for Shen Ke to provide this news.

Mu Chenghuang finished reading the letter in his hand, and directly lit a fire and burned the letter, former Prime Minister Song Yushu, the Song family? Shen Ke's speculation is bold, but it is not unreasonable, in this way, the intersection with Song Kui makes sense, if Zhou Yang is Song Ning, the eldest son of the Song family who disappeared back then, then Song Kui is his brother-in-law, but it has been rumored that these two brothers are not harmonious, and their positions are also opposite.

At that time, Song Ning was with his father, trying his best to run for the corruption case of the first prince, and he was also against the Yuan family, but Song Kui was doing things for the Yuan family, if the two people were in frequent contacts, there were only two possibilities, one was that the two of them were in the same stream, this possibility did not exist in Song Ning, after all, if he wanted to attach himself to the Yuan family, as early as more than ten years ago when the prince was in the case, he could grasp the best opportunity, but if it was Song Kui, it would not make sense, Mu Chenghuang remembered that Wen Zhi said that every time Song Kui went to the Zhou Doctor's Hospital, he went in a righteous and bright manner, and it was impossible for the Yuan family not to know。

Then there is only the second possibility, Song Kui is not sure that the true identity of this Zhou Yang is Song Ning, he is also constantly tempting, thinking about it, only this is the most reasonable.

At the end of the letter, it was also said that Shen Ke's shop in Beijing has gradually opened, although the Shen family is mainly a jewelry shop, but the surrounding embroidery and treasures are also sold, I heard that Shen Ke is also preparing to participate in the annual treasure meeting in Beijing in recent days, it is a grand auction ceremony, rich people or special collectors and businessmen will take out the treasure at the bottom of the box to bid, if the eyes are poisonous, there will be a lot of gains, of course, there will be a loss, but it is okay, can come to participate in this treasure will not be ordinary people, I am willing to buy a thousand gold, just like the things I buy, and I don't care about the price。

Around the Dragon Boat Festival is the Queen Mother's birthday, Shen Ke asked Mu Chenghuang if she wanted to ask her to find a good baby for Mu Chenghuang in the treasure club as a congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother.

In fact, before this, every time the Queen Mother had a big birthday, Concubine Ru was generous and threw a lot of money, but now, Mu Chenghuang thought of today's situation, it was inevitable that he was a little tight, Mu Chenghuang also knew that since Shen Ke asked like this, he didn't think about letting Mu Chenghuang pay the silver by himself, it was because of this that Mu Chenghuang didn't want to owe this favor, and wrote a few words of politeness in the reply, Mu Chenghuang stared at this line of words for a long time, and suddenly ripped off the page and wrote a reply letter, if Shen Ke could find that thing, it would be worth it if Shen Ke owed it。

After thinking about this, Mu Chenghuang only felt that her heart seemed to be pressing a lot of things, she didn't need to think about anything in the past, as long as she remembered which Yueji should be watered today, which peony was dewormed, and the rest, the mother concubine would always help her arrange it, and now she is alone, although there are Wenzhi Baojuan and Vermilion Parrot around her, the eldest princess in the palace to help her, and Shen Ke outside the palace, but she still feels empty in her heart.

Mu Chenghuang lay on the soft couch for a while, as if he was awakened by the arrival of the quail in his sleep, after Mu Qinyi left the capital, he would still let the quail enter the palace every day to say hello to the queen mother and the emperor, according to the rules, the quail does not need to come to Mu Chenghuang to say hello, today the quail came, but he did not come empty-handed, he carried a pine bird cage in his hand, a parrot in the bird cage was jumping happily, the snow-white feathers were shiny, and the yellow crown feathers on the top of the head were very beautiful.

The quail bowed to Mu Chenghuang, handed the bird cage to the hand of the treasure cuckoo on the side, and said: "This is a little sunflower cockatoo that the prince of my family saved before, and now it has grown up and is very lively, but the people in the house have trained it for a long time, and this little parrot is still not good at learning to speak. ”

Mu Chenghuang likes these little animals very much, especially when he sees that this parrot seems to understand human speech, when the quail speaks, the little parrot still tilts his head, as if he is listening very carefully.

Baojuan smiled and said, "It's okay now, there are two parrots in our palace." ”

Mu Chenghuang also nodded and said: "Your prince still remembers me outside, go back and thank your prince for me." Although Mu Qinyi's impression of Mu Chenghuang has become more and more mysterious, he feels like an inscrutable person, he may receive such a painstaking gift from Mu Qinyi, Mu Chenghuang is still happy in his heart, although he is also vigilant, but at least he has to give enough face on the face.

Now that he was talking about parrots, he couldn't help but ask, "How are parrots feeling better lately?"

"Much better. Baojuan said, "It's that people have lost a lot of weight, and when they have a fever, they can't eat a grain of rice, and the whole person is thin and out of shape." ”

The quail said nervously, "Is it thinner than I was that day?"

"What's more," Mu Chenghuang took over the words, "It's like she's only half as thin as she was before, and when she gets better, I'm going to make up for her, or the plump and moving parrot like the original is more cute." ”

The quail lowered his head, and he said in a low, soft tone that he thought only he could hear: "Parrots are fat and thin, and they are all very cute." ”

Mu Chenghuang smiled: "I look at you, this is the second thing to send this little parrot, come and see the big parrot in my palace is real." ”

The quail's face turned red suddenly, and he just shook his head, but his words were a little incoherent: "Little one...... The small ones are just ordinary concerns. ”

Mu Chenghuang saw his embarrassed appearance, and laughed out loud, although the quail is small, but he is a very good-looking person, seeing Mu Chenghuang's appearance, his face is even more uncomfortable, Baojuan also laughed when he heard this: "The princess has been sad today, and now she is finally smiling, quail, this is also your credit." ”

"What's the trouble with the fifth princess today?" the quail asked casually, but his expression was serious.

Baojuan was about to say something, but Mu Chenghuang just stopped: "It's nothing, don't you know that girls have a hundred reasons to be unhappy every day?"

Seeing that the serious expression on the quail's face was a little relaxed, Mu Chenghuang smiled again: "But I don't want to be as honest as a parrot." ”

Hearing the word parrot, the little parrot in the cage also suddenly screamed: "Shake, shake." ”

Bao Juan slipped up the cage and looked at the little parrot chirping here: "Ah, this little parrot has spoken, what is she talking about? What yellow, yellow, green and green?"

"By the way, does this little parrot have a name?" Mu Chenghuang asked the quail.

"Not yet," the quail saw that Mu Chenghuang's attention returned to the parrot's body, and the flushing on his face gradually faded, "When I was injured before, the prince and I also called it a little bit, and I never chose a name, and the prince also loved it very much, and in Fangyuan, it has always been hung in front of the prince's roof." ”

The parrot learned a few words again, and kept calling: "Shake, shake." ”

Baojuan stared at the little parrot and said, "This is not the name she gave herself, just call it Huanghuang." ”

"It sounds like it's shaking. Mu Chenghuang listened carefully, and when the little parrot saw that everyone was coming over, he screamed even more vigorously, and he screamed indistinguishably in a yellow way.

"It's called Shake. Mu Chenghuang clapped his head and said, "Its name from now on will be Huanghuang, Baojuan, you will also hang this bird cage under the eaves in front of the palace." ”

Quail heard this and said happily: "It's good if the fifth princess likes it." ”

"Okay, look at your appearance," Mu Chenghuang held back a smile, "The parrot should have taken medicine and slept before waking up, you go to the back of the ear room to see her, save yourself from worrying about it every day." ”

Although the quail still looked shy, he went out and went.

Mu Chenghuang looked at the swaying under the eaves, it jumped back and forth on the pine sticks, Baojuan looked fresh at the bottom, and took sunflower seeds to feed it, and every time he fed it, he would jump a few times happily and call his name.

Baojuan heard this voice crisp and beautiful, glanced into the room again, and saw that Mu Chenghuang also liked to listen to Huang Huang talk very much, and fed several in a row, Huang Huang suddenly said in a sharp voice: "Huang Huang I like you, Huang Huang I like you." ”

Baojuan laughed in surprise when she heard this, and hurriedly brought the bird cage into the room for Mu Chenghuang to hear: "Look, princess, it will also say that it likes people." ”

When Huang Huang said this sentence outside, Mu Chenghuang heard it clearly, at first he thought it was nothing, but the more he thought about it, the more strange it became, they all said that parrots learn words, if no one teaches it, how can it say such a thing, listen to the quail said, this parrot is hung under the eaves of Prince Su every day, is this sentence learned from Prince Su's mouth?

Baojuan was still teasing and shaking with sunflower seeds outside, but Huanghuang seemed to have eaten enough sunflower seeds and was no longer fooled, no matter how Baojuan fed him, he didn't talk anymore, Baojuan was angry, but Mu Chenghuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, what if this parrot didn't say "Huanghuang I like you", but "Huanghuang, I like you"?
