Chapter 80: A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix

On a sunny day, the Ming brothers and sisters met with umbrellas in Yongning Palace.

The two eunuchs holding the umbrella were unlucky, and one of them was doused with bird droppings!

Looking at the crows flying up and falling in front of him, Ming Cheng had long forgotten the purpose of this trip.

He asked in a deep voice, "How long have these birds gathered in the Queen Mother's palace?" โ€

Empress Dowager Hirohito frowned and shook her head: "This thing came with your brother before and after, and it didn't take much effort!" โ€

"......" Ming Cheng stood under the umbrella with his hands in his hands, glanced sideways at his sister, and suddenly felt that she was very unable to speak.

"Watch me do what? You're giving me an idea what to do with these birds? The Empress Dowager Hirohito obviously didn't notice her brother's face, there were big black birds everywhere on the roof, on the palace wall, and on the poplar tree planted in the yard, and she had a headache!

"Foolish brother can only govern the country and the country, how can I know what to do with such a trivial matter as bombing birds!"

As the patriarch of the Ming family, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a member of the first rank, Ming Cheng is used to speaking wantonly.

Especially when he was standing next to his own sister-in-law, he didn't think much about his words at this time. so casual that he didn't even realize that he had offended the Queen Mother!

"There is only silver in the eyes of the scholar, and you can earn hundreds of thousands of taels for a five-grade outsider, I'm afraid that this mind is used on this, and you naturally don't care about things like bombarding birds!"

Ming Cheng frowned deeply, and slowly turned to the Empress Dowager Hirohito: "Didn't the Empress Dowager think that our Ming clan is loyal to the imperial court and only relies on this blood?" โ€

"Wow! Wow! Yikes! โ€

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager Hirohito to reply, the old eagle had already screamed, and one of the people next to him also called, and suddenly the bird called "Wow, yes", and the two of them were so noisy that they didn't even have the mood to fight.

One takes buying and selling officials for granted, and the other forgets who is the master of the world because the other party has forgotten who is the master of the world.

The brother and sister parted unhappily, Ming Cheng flicked his robe sleeves and walked towards the palace gate, the eunuch who held the umbrella did not follow his steps for a while, so he let the scholars of the Auxiliary Political University walk in the courtyard in a grand manner, the old eagles on the palace wall fluttered their wings like a dark cloud, and a piece of dung fell down on the head, Ming Cheng secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and ran away with his legs, but the speed of the two old legs could not withstand the pickles that fell from the sky, and they were still poured out!

"Huh!" Seeing her brother running away with a mottled wolf bรจi, the Empress Dowager Hirohito's heart was extremely comfortable, and then looking up at the crows hovering in the air, she didn't feel so annoying.

"Wang, find some people to disperse these birds, and then rinse up and down this palace."

After a few words, the Empress Dowager Hirohito entered the Yongning Palace, first went back to the palace to change into court clothes, and was angry for a while The brother was domineering, and the heart was disobedient.

Just like she is at this moment.

With a face as usual, she changed into civilian clothes, and listened to the intertwined shouts of the old eagles and eunuchs in the courtyard, and said lightly with a hook on the corner of her lips: "Go, invite the one from Kunning Palace over, the mourning family is idle today, and we just want to talk." โ€

"Yes." A palace maid took a few steps back out of the dormitory after saluting, and the Empress Dowager Hirohito walked towards the bed: "The mourning family is tired, don't pass the lunch, wait for the mourning family to rest and use it." โ€

"Yes."

The three palace maids who served her in the dormitory looked at each other, and said in their hearts: Didn't you just say that you were going to invite the mother of Kunning Palace to come over and talk, why did the Queen Mother sleep again?

"You all go down, no matter who comes, the mourning family will not be seen!"

Lying on the couch on her side, the Empress Dowager Hirohito closed her eyes slightly, and her usual smile was still on her lips, and she wanted to say to her son at this time: Don't you feel that your wings are stiff when you are big? Even the queen mother dared to be disobedient! Okay, then I'll let you know what it means to be in pain!

When the son was disobedient, he came to clean up his woman and see who was distressed......

After lying comfortably on the couch for a while, the Empress Dowager Hirohito gradually became sleepy.

At this time, there was a voice in the main hall, and it was the one who served her to sleep: "Niangniang, the queen mother's phoenix body is not in harmony, so she lies down, please sit in the hall first......"

"Sit down...... Empress Dowager Hirohito rolled over, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Yue Xi was the only one left in the main hall of Yongning Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs knew the rules of the Queen Mother, so they all hid away from the palace gate, but they were all stunned to listen to the movements in the hall.

Yongning Palace Yuexi came a few times, she was no stranger to the furnishings in this palace, she first looked in the direction of the side hall of the closed door, and then walked straight to the bookshelf with incense, smoked the book casually, opened it and saw that it was a Buddhist scripture, and quickly put it back in its original place.

After taking three Buddhist scriptures in a row, Yue Xi lost interest, and when she looked back at the three sticks of incense, she sneezed!

"Damn it! Can choke people to death......" muttered in a low voice, Yue Xi walked to the palace gate and pushed the door and walked out, and was immediately stopped by the palace maid guarding the door: "Niangniang, the Empress Dowager has specially ordered, I want to tell you to live well, and please wait a while, the time for the Empress Dowager's nap will not be long......"

Sent someone to invite himself over to chat, but the main owner hid in the house to sleep, Yue Xi could understand with his toes: the old witch lying in the house has a moth again, this is to show Ying Su that he is angry!

"Wow! Wow! "Ahh Yes! โ€

The old owl's cry in his ears was sharp and long, one after another, and the palace people hurriedly walked to the door and closed the two palace doors tightly.

"Niangniang, why don't you sit outside and drink tea?" The palace maid asked cautiously.

"I'd better go back to the house and drink." Yue Xi looked up at the crows, and then at the eunuchs who were holding long bamboo poles tied to red cloth strips and kept driving away the falling birds, and she asked knowingly, "So many birds."

So he asked, "Where did all these birds come from?" How can you just fly straight to the palace of the Queen Mother? โ€

As she spoke, she had already stood still in and out of the door, but she was not in a hurry to go to the hall, but kindly reminded the eunuchs who were bombarding the birds: "Those birds rise and fall, and if you stop them, they will not be able to leave." โ€

Several eunuchs were exhausted, everyone was sweating profusely and having bird droppings, it was the time of distress, after listening to Yue Xi's words, they all stopped and stopped moving, and rushed to the bottom of the steps to ask for advice: "Niang Niang is right, the little ones have already been able to work hard, and they have no effect at all!" โ€

"I know ......" Yue Xi nodded sympathetically: "These things are more comfortable in the sky than we can walk, you just tired them won't walk, you have to make some movement to scare them, whether it is beating gongs and drums, or putting a few firecrackers, after all, the greater the movement, the better!" โ€

"That's ...... It's not okay......" The two palace maids at the door glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction of the dormitory, which was self-evident.

"Outside, you are arguing with these birds like this, it's no wonder that the Queen Mother can sleep!" Yue Xi pursed his lips and said no more, turned around and entered the Yongning Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids outside the door came together and muttered quietly, discussing countermeasures, Yue Xi stood in front of the desk near the window with a cup of hot tea in the palace gate, quietly listening to the movement outside the window, and at the end, poured the bowl of tea in his hand that had just fallen into the best orchid in the pot!

Wang Zhi walked out of the yamen of the twelve eunuchs, and was walking back slowly, when he suddenly heard a burst of firecrackers and gongs and drums sounding at the same time, he immediately looked in the direction of Yongning Palace, and saw that a large piece of old eagles had exploded their nests, and the black pressure rose in mid-air!

"Lord Steward, this is the movement in our palace!" The little eunuch who followed him came to his side and whispered: "Didn't Master Qin, who just had the palm print, say that if you want to blow away those old eagles, you have to make a big move, it seems that someone has told our Empress Dowager a way!" โ€

Wang Shi glared at him: "Don't talk so much, no one treats you as a dumb ......"

The little eunuch put a cold face on his buttocks, quickly shut up, and followed Grandpa Wang with a frown and trotted towards Yongning Palace, wondering in his heart: What is Grandpa Wang's urgency?

As soon as he entered the palace gate of Yongning Palace, Wang Zhi saw the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling in a courtyard, and the Empress Dowager Hirohito, who was wearing civilian clothes, stood on the steps with a cold face and looked like she was losing her temper!

Wang Zhi hurriedly glanced at the kneeling crowd and didn't see Yue Xi's figure, which made him breathe a sigh of relief......

When the Queen Mother was sleeping comfortably, she was awakened by the sound outside, she opened her eyes and didn't understand what was going on for a while, she only turned her head and shouted outside: "Is it the one from Kunning Palace who is practicing again?" โ€

"Nope! The Queen Mother, the concubine is outside......" Yue Xi's voice sounded faintly, and he returned quickly!

Originally, she could still sleep when the old eagle outside screamed and closed the palace door, but now she was so angry that she could only stare dryly when she was woken up.

Bombed away Yue Xi, Empress Dowager Hirohito sent all the fire to the palace maids and eunuchs, and she asked coldly: "Didn't the mourning family say that you should use a pole to bombard, who came up with the idea to beat gongs and drums?" โ€

"It's the mother of Kunning Palace......" The palace maid who knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother was slapped in the face, her face was hot and painful, she lowered her head and choked with tears: "Niangniang, she said ......"

"What did she say?" As soon as Empress Dowager Hirohito twisted her eyebrows, she intuitively guessed that Yue Xi couldn't say anything good.

The palace maid looked up at her, and saw the fierce face of the Queen Mother, who was usually always smiling, and she hurriedly lowered her head: "The mother of Kunning Palace said that the Queen Mother is a phoenix, and these birds are coming for you, this is called ...... Hundreds of birds and phoenixes! โ€

Empress Dowager Hirohito wanted to beat people even more when she heard it: A hundred birds and a phoenix? There are a hundred birds, but they are all old eagles!

Thinking of this, she looked up and looked up, but she was surprised to find that there was not a single bird in the sky!

There were a few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and it made people feel happy to see it.

"Where's the birds?" Empress Dowager Hirohito took a few steps down the stairs and looked back at the top of the main hall.

"Hui Niangniang...... Wang Zhi answered in a timely manner: "The old slave went to the Twelve Prisons to ask, but some people said that these birds are very afraid of the sound of cannonballs. โ€

Empress Dowager Hirohito still looked at Gao Gao, but she was thinking about one thing in her mind: a hundred birds and a phoenix...... If it is said that it is a phoenix, she is originally the queen, why don't these old eagles go to Kunning Palace to make trouble......

"Could it be that these old eagles listen to her?"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The crows that flew all over the sky returned to Yongning Palace in flocks at dusk the next day.

After trying several methods that didn't work, the Empress Dowager Hirohito also had guano on her head!

"Go! Put a few whips to ...... We must get rid of these brutes! It was getting late, and the inside and outside of the hall were dark, and the dense black spots in the sky made her feel terrifying: "Why are these mourning stars only chasing me!" โ€
