Prince Jian looked haggard, wearing a short brown dress, and there was dust standing on his boots, which was quite dusty.

"Lord Wang." Xu Qingan and Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to salute.

"I told you a long time ago, don't be so polite," said King Jane, carefully opening his arms, and a bird lay there on its back, its two paws straight to the sky, its eyes closed as if it had no life, "Come and see what is wrong with this bird." ”

Xu Qingan immediately leaned over and stretched out his hand to move the fat bird, but the fat bird still didn't move: "I'm really sick, I'm still alive when I send it back...... Lord Jane, what did you feed it with? ”

King Jian frowned: "No, it's all fresh insects, specially let people catch them in the garden, and let people take them around the house, it was good a few days ago." ”

The mother of the fat bird is the favorite of the old King Jian, and now the old bird is gone, and the remaining chick, Prince Jian has been carefully caring, raising it fat and strong, and I don't know if it is too much care for this bird, this bird is sick at every turn, either does not eat or drink, or lies motionless in the cage, which makes King Jian full of anxiety.

The last time the fat bird was sick, Xu Qingan and Xu Qinghuan just came to King Jian's mansion, Xu Qingan teased casually, the bird was much more energetic, seeing that King Jian was worried about this bird, Xu Qingan simply mentioned that he wanted to take the bird away, and then send it back when he was in good spirits, for fear that King Jian would not be at ease, so he deliberately pressed a hibiscus bird that had crossed the sea here.

It is also strange to say, the fat bird likes Xu Qing'an very much, Xu Qing'an goes out for a walk, and he will inevitably put this fat bird on his shoulder, and when he meets people, he says: "This is King Jian's bird." ”

A man and a bird are spiritual.

Later, when he slipped away from home in trouble, he also took the fat bird with him, as if the fat bird had become his life talisman.

Xu Qinghuan looked at his brother, his brother was anxious, but he could faintly see a smile in his eyes, and he had a bottom in his heart: "Lord Jane, you will give the fat bird to my brother, the fat bird likes my brother, and I can't say that I will be happy and energetic." ”

King Jian also had this in mind, so he called their brother and sister over, and when Miss Xu said this, he naturally had no opinion.

Xu Qingan hugged the fat bird in his arms, and then said with a smile: "I took the fat bird to the yard for a walk." ”

King Jane will go with him.

"Lord Wang," Xu Qing'an looked at King Jian's clothes, "You dusty servant, let's go and freshen up first." ”

Princess Jian also greeted her as she spoke, and when she saw this scene, she immediately complained: "Didn't the concubine let the prince change his clothes, why did he come here first." ”

King Jian smiled and said, "I heard that the two children had arrived, and I was in a hurry, so I greeted them." ”

Princess Jane couldn't help complaining in her heart, how could there be a dignified prince who came to welcome the younger generation for a bird, and when she said this, she was afraid that her prestige would be lost, but fortunately, the prince had long been famous, and everyone was not surprised.

King Jian took people to the inner courtyard to change clothes, Princess Jian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Xu Qinghuan gently: "The prince is really in a hurry, but I see that although the bird is not in good spirits, it is not that it refuses to eat anything, it will always eat some insects every day, but there are not as many as before, and many people are invited to see, but they can't see any clues, the prince still thinks that it is unaccompanied, I heard that there are merchants from the big food country outside Beijing who sell some rare birds, and I personally went to pick up a few of them, but I didn't expect this fat bird not only to ignore it,"

After Princess Jane said this, she sighed: "If this bird is a human, I'm afraid it is a heart disease." ”

Xu Qinghuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Tell the princess, I don't know if I should say something or not." ”

Princess Jian couldn't help but say, "You kid, don't you tell me this." ”

Xu Qinghuan nodded: "The prince and the princess are too concerned about this fat bird, but it has annihilated its nature, although the cage in the house is big, it is a cage after all, this bird likes my brother, because my brother often takes it outside, Princess Jian is right, this is probably really a heart disease, it is a good thing for people, and it is probably painful for birds." ”

"Another one with a heart disease," Princess Jane shook her head, "everything is fine, don't get sick with your heart, it's really helpless." ”

Xu Qinghuan raised his head: "The princess is talking about the female official next to the Queen Mother." ”

Princess Jane was stunned: "How do you know." ”

Xu Qinghuan turned his head to look at Yin Gui, who walked up with a brocade box.

This brocade box is made of Shu brocade material, and it is a lotus pattern with entwined branches, which looks very exquisite.

Princess Jian couldn't guess Xu Qinghuan's intentions, and was about to ask.

Xu Qinghuan has already said: "The courtiers entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and when she left the palace, the Queen Mother was worried about the people around her, and when I brought things to the palace to visit." ”

Princess Jane's eyes sank slightly: "You are talking about Rong Xiao, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to still think about her, if she knew it, she would be very happy in her heart." "I look very sad.

Xu Qinghuan said: "The princess will take her courtiers to see Rong Xiao first, and she must hand over the errand of the queen mother first." ”

Princess Jane bowed: "Come with me!" ”

Xu Qinghuan followed Princess Jian to a courtyard in the West Garden, and saw a few people busy in the courtyard from a distance, and a big maid in charge stood at the door and ordered: "Let you take the azure poplin silk, but you prefer the top green one, no wonder the master is unhappy, how many mistakes have been made all day long, and if it goes on like this, all of them will be sold, even if you recruit some newcomers, you will not be as clumsy as you." ”

After the big girl finished speaking, she raised her head and saw Princess Jian and Xu Qinghuan, and immediately walked forward to salute.

"How's it going inside?" Princess Jane asked.

The big girl said: "I was a little unhappy earlier, but now I look much better, there is a Lang Zhong who wants to see the master, but the master refuses to agree, and she has to let Lang Zhong first check the pulse of the people in the house, and she is willing to stretch out her hand." ”

Princess Jane sighed: "Then you just rely on her, don't make her sad." ”

The big maid bowed her head and said, "The slave knows," she said, pursing her lips, "but there is no way to go on like this." ”

"Don't I know," Princess Jian said and looked at Xu Qinghuan, "This is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, and she came to visit ...... on the order of the Queen Mother."

Princess Jian paused slightly, looked up at the big girl's expression, and saw that the big girl was still the same as Fangcai, and there was no wave on her face, so she sighed and said, "Come to visit her, you go and say goodbye!" ”

The eldest maid replied: "Wait a minute, the princess, the slave and maid will go immediately." ”

After a while, the big maid instructed her subordinates to open the curtain and lead Princess Jian and Xu Qinghuan into the door.

Xu Qinghuan walked into the room, raised his head and saw a woman in her twenties and thirties sitting next to the bed, she was wearing a bright red gown, and in such weather, she was wearing a silver fox collar robe.

The big girl pursed her lips: "The master has to wear that robe, and the slave and maid persuaded her, but it is useless, as long as she is allowed to do so." ”

Princess Jane nodded and looked at the eldest girl: "You go out first, we want to talk to her alone." ”

The big girl answered, walked out with everyone, and then closed the door lightly.

There was no one else in the room, Xu Qinghuan was about to look at the woman sitting on the bed, and the woman immediately stood up and saluted Princess Jane: "Princess, save the slave maid, the slave maid can't go on like this anymore." ”

Saying that, she took off the clothes on her body: "Look at it, on this hot day, she insisted on letting the slave maid wear this, and she really wanted to suffocate the slave and maid here." ”

The woman's expression naturally didn't look like she was sick.

Xu Qinghuan looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Princess, is she Rong Xiao?" ”

Princess Jane sighed again: "She's not Rong Xiao, but she's ...... Rong Xiao, you've already seen it. ”

Xu Qinghuan turned his head to look out the window: "Could it be that Rong Xiao is the maid who brought us in the door?" ”
