"Find a place in our palace and raise them." Liu Yan said: "After raising this winter, they should be able to survive on their own, right?" When spring comes, put them on the side of the Chiba Pond in the Imperial Garden—well, be careful not to let any wild cats or squirrels eat them. ”

Doutang promised: "Princess, just rest assured, I will hand it over to Xiao Jia and them, and they will definitely take care of it." ”

Carrying the three duck chicks out of the hall, Doutang went to find Xiao Jia first and handed over this work to him.

Xiao Jia rarely took a good turn, and he responded in a row, holding three ducklings and three little ancestors.

"But this duck is so small, what can it eat?"

This turned the bean soup down.

He hadn't fed the ducks either, and besides, it was still a wild duck, but there were many ways to make the bean soup.

"You go to the eunuch who raises flowers and birds, and the little bird is probably about the same as a duckling."

Xiao Jia also remembered when he mentioned it. Isn't it, the people in the palace who raise these exclusively, those precious birds, cats and dogs are well raised, and these ducklings are naturally not a problem.

Xiao Jia went out for a run, and he knew that he was the eunuch of Anhe Palace, so he naturally hurried to stammer, and patted his chest and said that if he sent the wild ducks to them to raise, he would definitely raise them fat and strong.

Of course Xiao Jia can't agree! This is a good job that can please the princess, and Brother Doutang took a fancy to him and gave him this job. Princess Ming'er remembered it and asked how the duck was raised, so wouldn't he have a chance to talk back and please him? How can such a good thing be given to others.

When Xiao Jia came back, he not only brought back a large bag of bird food, memorized the trick of raising birds, but also brought back a large cage.

Ginkgo was very strange when she saw the cage: "You want to raise ducks, not dogs, what are you going to do with a cage?" ”

Xiao Jia hurriedly explained: "Sister Ginkgo, this is for the ducklings to live, in case there are snakes, insects, cats and mice coming to bite them at night." Sister, you see, the hole in this cage is so dense that rats can't get in. ”

Ginkgo praised him: "You are very careful, take care of it." ”

Xiao Jia got a compliment and was even happier.

Liu Yan thought about the crab, took a nap, got up and read for a while, wrote a few more big characters, then threw down the pen and stopped writing, and wanted to go to Yilan Palace.

Longan hurriedly asked people to pass the sedan chair.

"Don't sit down, I'll walk over, move more and eat a few more bites later."

Gui Yuan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid to eat a few more bites of other things, crabs are cold, and the princess should eat a few bites less, so as not to come back with a stomachache." ”

Longan is certainly reasonable, but the days of being able to eat crabs in a year are only like this for a while, and there are either no or no delicious ones when they are next to them.

The crab meat buns that Liu Yan asked for were served on the table with the steamer, and the eunuch lifted the lid of the cage, and the aroma and heat gushed out together, and the white and fat buns in the cage made people like it.

"Eat slowly, princess, there is soup in this bun, be careful to burn it."

Liu Yan couldn't even speak, he bit open the bun and carefully sucked the soup first, and then used two bites, and one bun went into his stomach.

Empress Cao laughed at her: "Such a big girl is still so greedy, but how can I get it." ”

The emperor looked at his daughter's eating appearance but was full of joy: "It's a good thing to be able to eat, don't learn those twisting and pinching styles, don't eat this and that, I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength all day long, either sitting or lying down, how can my body be good if I go on like this." ”

Queen Cao's physique should not eat more crabs, so she ate a little bit of the crab meat that was dismantled, and ate a bowl of rice with boiled winter melon soup.

Liu Yan saw that the queen mother should not be in a good mood.

When he had cleaned his hands after dinner, Liu Yan quietly asked Yingluo: "What happened today?" I saw that the queen mother was not very happy. ”

There are a lot of things that don't go well today, but there is more than one, and Yingluo doesn't know where to start.

"The princess comes back and talks more with her mother, there are a lot of things today, but none of them are good."

Liu Yan felt sorry for Queen Cao.

Others envy the scenery of being a queen, but Liu Yan knows how many things are pressed on Queen Cao.

In the past, when the eldest sister was there, she could help the queen mother, but she could ...... herself

Liu Yan was ashamed.

She can't help at all, she is pampered, at most she can do not make trouble for the queen mother.

Liu Yan, who was ashamed in her heart, had a particularly sweet mouth today, and she was beside Queen Cao, serving her tea for a while, and beating her shoulder for a while.

Empress Cao made her laugh: "What's wrong?" What did you do? ”

"The queen mother didn't have much lunch and dinner today, so I think I'm tired. I'm not as capable as my eldest sister, and I can't share my mother's worries. ”

Empress Cao's nose was sour, and her eyes turned red.

But she disguised it well, and with a blink of an eye and a brief time to hold her sideburns, she was back to normal.

"Who said that the queen mother was glad when she saw you."

"Really?" Liu Yan pulled over a round stool and sat upright in front of Empress Cao: "Then the queen mother will look at me twice, and she will be happy for a while." ”

Even Yingluo made the fourth princess laugh.

Let's just say that the fourth princess is the heart of the mother, this is not wrong at all. As soon as she saw the four princesses, her mood could be better, her appetite could be better, and even her sometimes sick body could be alleviated.

But after laughing, Queen Cao thought about it for a while, and told her daughter that Princess An "suffered a black cat nightmare".

Liu Yan didn't even hesitate and said, "This can't be done by Wen'er." ”

Empress Cao appreciated her daughter's decisiveness, but still asked, "Why is it not her?" Wen'er, this child, has a temper a little like her mother. Besides, if Xiao Zhu gives birth to a child, it is likely to shake her brother's position as the son, and it is possible that she will do something wrong in a moment's confusion. ”

"No, it won't." Liu Yan couldn't tell if Liu Wen had evil thoughts about Xiao Zhu, but even if she had evil thoughts and buried the black cat to curse such a thing, she would definitely not do it.

Liu Wen is a girl with ideas, she has read books, and she is not ignorant.

Burying a black cat can curse people to have a miscarriage, it's ridiculous when you hear it, even if Liu Wen really wants to attack his stepmother, he won't use such ridiculous means.

Even if Xiao Zhu accuses Liu Wen of contradicting her, or even framing her for drugged or something, it is more reliable than this.

If it is true that burying a cat can curse people to have a miscarriage, then how many people in this world must be cursed? Why don't those bad people who want to harm their father use this convenient and effective method?

"yes, that's a fake."

But before Xiao Zhu's child was born, he began to frame Liu Wen, and maybe there was a trick waiting to deal with Liu Qi.

This......

Liu Yan understood.

It's no wonder that the queen mother is so upset.
