"Get up!" Zhou Yusheng raised his hand and said to her, "I heard that you are from Zhuo Kingdom?" What did you do before and how did you get here? ”

"I've been learning to dance in the dance studio since I was a kid and came here with the dance team." Bai Shuqin's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

Zhou Yusheng saw that she was extremely gentle when she spoke and walked, which was very different from Zhao Guo's blue-hearted and neat style, and her name was also different, so it seemed that she was really not a person.

Since he was not alone, Zhou Yusheng showed a smug smile, she must be interesting to him.

"Bai Shuqin, right? Would you be interested in going outside with me? Zhou Yusheng's eyebrows and eyes were frivolous, and he seemed a little obscene.

"Prince, it's up to you to decide." Bai Shuqin bowed his head and said.

Bai Shuqin wanted to agree, but Zhong Yang was not happy when she saw it, she handed the teapot she was holding to the other maids, and strode over, "Prince, the emperor arranged for the old slave to take care of the girl." ”

Zhong Yang meant that if Bai Shuqin went out, she would definitely have to go with her. However, Zhou Yusheng didn't want to be ruined by her, so he immediately put on a stinky face, "Listen to what you mean, are you afraid that I won't be able to take care of her?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!"

"If you don't dare, shut up!" Zhou Yusheng snorted, and in an instant, he put on a smiling face, "Bai Shuqin, a few days ago, a bird that can speak human words was sent outside, I'll take you to see it." ”

Bai Shuqin looked at Zhou Yusheng with an embarrassed face, and then looked at Zhong Yang with a hesitant look.

No matter how stupid Zhou Yusheng is, he can still understand what this means. He said impatiently to Zhong Yang, "You old woman, if your father comes back, you can tell him that I will do my landlord's friendship for him." ”

"Prince, you go slowly." Zhong Yang nodded.

Bai Shuqin followed next to Zhou Yusheng, looked back at Zhong Yang in embarrassment, and expressed her helplessness.

Zhou Yusheng was very attentive to Bai Shuqin along the way, and when he saw a stone on the road, he would ask her to be careful. When he was about to reach the Imperial Garden, he pointed there and said, "That bird is raised there, and it looks really good." ”

There are not many kinds of talking birds, and when he said that he was good-looking, Bai Shuqin knew that he was talking about parrots.

The parrot was raised by a special person, and at this moment the man was taking the parrot for a walk in the imperial garden, and Guo Hu found the man and brought it to Zhou Yusheng.

"See, it's the bird in the cage." Zhou Yusheng wanted to be courteous to Bai Shuqin, took the cage from the man's hand, and shouted at the parrot: "Say a few words and listen." ”

The parrot didn't even look at him, let alone speak. Zhou Yusheng felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he reached into the cage and wanted to touch the parrot, but it dodged it.

"Prince, you're scared of it." The eunuch who kept the birds said.

Zhou Yusheng originally wanted to show it, but he didn't expect this bird to not give him face. He lost his temper, opened the cage directly, grabbed the parrot in his hand, and said angrily: "Do you say you won't talk today? If you don't speak, I'll roast you. ”

The parrot struggled in his hand, and when he couldn't open it, he pecked Zhou Yusheng's hand with his beak, and his hand was painful and loosened a little, and the parrot flew away from his hand.

"Hey, prince, this is the emperor's favorite bird, what should I do!" The eunuch watched the parrot fly farther and farther, and tears of anxiety were about to flow out.

Zhou Yusheng was also blindfolded, he just wanted to scare the bird, but he didn't expect it to fly. If Zhou Tianmu knew about this, it would be less of a criticism, and more of it would be a month of closed thought.

"Don't worry, it definitely didn't fly far, let's find it quickly!" Bai Shuqin comforted the eunuch.

When Zhou Yusheng heard this, he hurriedly said to Guo Hu: "You hurry up and take someone to find it, you must find it before your father finds out." ”

Guo Hu and the eunuch hurriedly went to find it, and Bai Shuqin saw that Zhou Yusheng was still standing still, so he said, "Let's go find it together, many people have more hopes." ”

"You're right!" Zhou Yusheng agreed.

In such a big place in the palace, with only a few of them looking for it, they will definitely not find birds in a short time. Zhou Yusheng wanted to find more people to look for him, but Bai Shuqin stopped him and reminded: "If there are too many people, it is too eye-catching." ”

Zhou Yusheng patted his head and almost did something bad on impulse.

Although the imperial garden here is not like Zhuo Guo, there are many towering trees, but there are still a lot. Moreover, the garden is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, and the road left is not wide.

A few people did not see the shadow of the bird until noon, and the weather was hot again, and it was like a steamer outside.

Zhou Yusheng sat slumped on the edge of the shady flower bed, constantly fanning the wind with his sleeves, "Don't look for it, don't look for it." I told my father that I lost it, and I would lock him up for a month. ”

Bai Shuqin was also too hot, and the sweat on her forehead was about to squash her makeup, but she still said, "Let's look for it again, maybe we'll find it later." ”

"It has two wings, who knows where it flew? Don't look for it, what I did will not affect you. Zhou Yusheng said simply, he shouted to Guo Hu and the eunuch who were still looking for parrots in the distance: "You all come back, don't look for it." ”

Guo Hu didn't care, as soon as Zhou Yusheng's words fell, he jumped down from the tree.

But the eunuch did not give up, he was in charge of taking care of the parrot, and if the parrot ran away, he would definitely be held responsible. He was afraid that his life would not be at stake, and he still had to look for it.

"Guo Hu, get him back for me. What else are you looking for? Find the bird, heat the person to death, I don't have to be locked up. Zhou Yusheng thought clearly.

Bai Shuqin was surprised that Zhou Yusheng didn't want to shirk his responsibility. Normally, this kind of gentleman, the first reaction when he encounters something is to run away, but he made Bai Shuqin look at him differently.

Even the wind blowing at noon was hot, and Zhou Yusheng took the eunuch to Zhou Tianmu to confess his mistake. Bai Shuqin also followed, and she was also present in this matter, which can be regarded as a bit of responsibility.

Zhou Yusheng disagreed at first, but he couldn't say that Bai Shuqin could only let her follow.

was about to arrive at the gate of Zhou Tianmu's dormitory, Zhou Yusheng persuaded Bai Shuqin again, "You better go back, no matter what I say, it will be his own son, it won't be good." ”

Of course, Bai Shuqin knew that Zhou Tianmu would not do anything to Zhou Yusheng, although he could speak human words, but after all, he was just a bird. However, even so, if Zhou Tianmu is really angry because of this, the punishment of Zhou Yusheng must be indispensable.

The weather was hot, but Zhou Yusheng's heart was cold. He does things so impulsively, sometimes he wants to pump himself.

"You hurry back, don't say you're with me today." Zhou Yusheng told Bai Shuqin that he had thought about it behind closed doors at most, but Bai Shuqin was just a dancing girl, and he was afraid that she would not end well.

Bai Shuqin shrugged, "I was originally with you, and this matter has something to do with me." Are you trying to get me away from responsibility? ”

"That's not what I meant!" Zhou Yusheng was very helpless, "I am a man, so I should be responsible!" Guo Hu, you send her back to me. ”

"I know, I'll go back." Bai Shuqin suddenly changed his mind.

As long as she makes sure that she is not implicated, Zhou Yusheng doesn't care what punishment there is. He watched Bai Shuqin leave before stepping into Zhou Tianmu's bedroom.

Zhou Tianmu had just had lunch at this time and was taking a lunch break, and as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the personal eunuch.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Tianmu's face was not very good.

The eunuch bent over and said to him unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince, he has something to look for you." It's a very serious matter, and I'm going to see you now. ”

For this Zhou Yusheng, Zhou Tianmu loves and hates. What he loves is that he is his first son and is honest, and what he hates is that he is unlearned and idle.

He rubbed his temples, suppressed his anger and asked, "What did he do again?" ”

"The servant didn't know, but he came with him, and the eunuch who kept the parrots. The minion thought that it might have something to do with parrots. The eunuch speculated.

Zhou Tianmu put on his coat and came outside, only to see Zhou Yusheng standing in the middle of the room with his head down, and next to him stood the eunuch who raised parrots, looking sincerely frightened.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhou Yusheng hurriedly raised his head, and without waiting for Zhou Tianmu to ask, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said, "Father, the son has lost your parrot." ”

"Tell me how you got it gone." Zhou Tianmu's face was expressionless.

Zhou Yusheng couldn't guess his thoughts, and with the mentality that he would be punished anyway, he said directly: "I want that parrot to say two words, but it won't say it." I took it out and prepared to train it, but I didn't hold it steady, so I let it fly. ”

Zhou Tianmu didn't ask the parrot, but asked him, "Missed today's class?" ”

"This..."Zhou Yusheng looked embarrassed, he only thought of the parrot, but he didn't expect him to have class today. This is miserable, the two things are punished together, and he has to copy poetry books for a month in addition to facing the wall.

"Your Majesty, blame me for this." Bai Shuqin's voice sounded from outside the door, and she ran in in a hurry and knelt directly at Zhou Tianmu's feet, "I heard that there is a talking bird in the palace, and I happened to meet the prince, so I begged him to take me there." ”

Zhou Yusheng didn't expect Bai Shuqin to run back again, he kept giving her a look, and hurriedly took the responsibility on himself, "Father, I skipped class to see the parrot." It was only when I met her on the road that I picked her up on the way, and it had nothing to do with her. If you want to be punished, you will punish me alone! ”

"Your Majesty, it's really my fault." Bai Shuqin looked up at Zhou Tianmu with watery eyes.

Zhou Tianmu bent down to help Bai Shuqin up, and said to her kindly: "It's just a parrot, if it flies, it will fly, just send someone to find it, you don't have to be afraid." ”

"But..."Bai Shuqin glanced at Zhou Yusheng worriedly.

"I don't care if the parrot loses it." Zhou Tianmu looked at Zhou Yusheng's face and became more serious, "You skip class, you said it yourself, how to deal with it?" ”

Zhou Yusheng wondered why Zhou Tianmu was so tolerant of Bai Shuqin, he knew that this was the case, so he directly let Bai Shuqin come out to top the bag, and he would not have to be punished. He pouted to himself, how could he have such thoughts of escape.

"Punish me for thinking about it for a month!" Zhou Yusheng picked the punishment that he felt was the lightest and said it, but when he saw Zhou Tianmu frowning, he hurriedly added: "Recite the three ways of governing the country again!" ”

Zhou Tianmu stretched his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction, "Since you proposed it yourself, let's do it." ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhou Yusheng secretly sweated for himself, afraid that he would regret adding something to him, so he quickly slipped away.

At this time, the eunuch who raised the parrot was still there, and Zhou Tianmu didn't want to punish him, but just said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Go and tell the chief of Ouchi about this, and ask him to arrange for someone to look for the parrot, and don't let the prince get close in the future. ”

"Emperor Xie!" The eunuch was relieved.

They all left, and Bai Shuqin also wanted to leave, but was left behind by Zhou Tianmu.

"Why did you just speak for him?" Zhou Tianmu stared at Bai Shuqin's face, wondering why.

Bai Shuqin lowered his head and said uneasily: "I'm afraid that you will punish the prince." ”

"Then you're not afraid that I'll punish you?" Zhou Tianmu lifted Bai Shuqin's face and forced her to look at him.

"I'm afraid, but I'm also responsible. If I hadn't wanted to see the bird, the bird wouldn't have flown away. Bai Shuqin admitted his mistake.

The parrot is nothing to Zhou Tianmu. He didn't want to continue to embarrass Bai Shuqin, so he withdrew his hand and patted her on the head, "It's just a bird, if you want to see it, tell me directly next time." ”
