Chapter 54: The Parrot

Su Xin went around in the imperial city, from the Vermilion Bird Gate all the way to the north, passed through the bustling business area, passed through the high-ranking officials' mansions, and came to the Forbidden City, the most towering and glorious in the imperial city.

Looking at the purple-gold building, and the soldiers wearing full sets of armor who walked by from time to time in the distance, Su Xin couldn't help but sigh at the preciousness of power in this world.

The home of the emperors in the world, the concentration of countless powers, for thousands of years, how many people have thrown their heads and spilled their blood in order to occupy this place, and every masonry of this tall building is made of corpses.

Around this palace city, how many legendary characters, how many legendary stories have been interpreted, how many people laugh here, yellow robes are added, how many tears of remorse are shed here, and they have no choice but to kill themselves.

Su Xin suddenly wanted to go into the palace to take a look, although there were many guards in the Forbidden City, and the defense was also very tight, but the palace city was too big after all, and it was impossible to take care of it everywhere.

What's more, there are also vacancies secretly set aside by some palace maids and little eunuchs for their own careful thinking, Su Xin walked around the palace for half a circle, and found a leak at a corner, taking advantage of the gap between the two teams of guards to change shifts, a dodge entered the palace city.

The palace wall, which is about three feet high, is an insurmountable moat for ordinary people, but for Su Xin, it is like walking on the ground.

Behind the palace wall, only the sound of pots and pans colliding, the sharp urging of the eunuch, Su Xin stood in the corner of the wall, and found that it was the imperial dining room in front of him.

It seems that a grand banquet is being held in the palace, and countless eunuchs and palace ladies shuttle through it, holding delicacies in their hands and sending them to the court.

"Hurry up, wait a while, the saint will be displeased, and everyone will have to lose their heads. ”

"Xiao Linzi, Xiao Baozi, you two hurry up, don't think that you can be lazy if you are a newcomer!"

"Chef Liu, when will Buddha jump over the wall be served, didn't it stew yesterday!"

......

A fat eunuch with rouge stood by the door, talking about this and scolding that, so that everyone hurried and did not dare to rest at all.

Su Xin looked at the affairs of the palace, he only felt that it was novel and interesting, and most of those meals were special offerings in the palace, and he had never seen them, and after looking at them for a while, he avoided people's eyes and ears and walked to the other side.

The clothes worn by the people in this palace are uniforms, and he is wearing a civilian dress that is very eye-catching, Su Xin laughed secretly, followed a little eunuch and touched the place where they lived, found a clean clothes to put on, and walked out generously.

He changed into a eunuch costume, had no estimate in his heart, roamed all the way, and first came to the imperial garden.

The scenery in the imperial garden is extraordinary, the species are all rare species offered from all over the place, find a famous craftsman to prune and match, on the left a piece of yellow and bright geranium flowers, the fragrance is pleasant, not thick or light, on the right is a few unflowering plum blossoms, the shape of the branches is faintly like a dragon, even the bark is raised like dragon scales.

Next to the plum blossoms, there is a small wooden sign, on which the words "dragon scale plum" are written, but I don't know whose pen and ink it is.

Su Xin walked slowly, saw a lot of precious flowers and trees, and suddenly a chirp came from the front, he was worried that someone was coming, and after flashing to the bamboo forest, he saw a few peacocks walking leisurely with the screen open, looking graceful and comfortable.

Su Xin smiled dumbly, and secretly said that he was too careful, and he was wearing a eunuch suit, even if it was seen by others.

Su Xin flashed out, approached a peacock and touched its crown, the peacock was not afraid of people at all, but rubbed Su Xin's hand with his head relatively.

Su Xin chuckled twice, turned forward and saw a white-haired parrot, as soon as the parrot saw him, it fluttered its wings and shouted: "Little eunuch, little eunuch, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, hurry up, hurry up!"

Su Xin was stunned, he didn't expect that the animals in this imperial garden were not afraid of people, and this parrot would have to eat when he saw a living person.

Su Xin looked around, but didn't see any feed, and asked, "What do you want to eat, where can I get it for you?"

"Stupid, stupid, catch insects in the vegetable garden on the right, catch insects, I want big green worms, big green worms. The parrot ate extremely fat, flapped its wings and slowly flew to Su Xin's head, stretched out its wings and pointed to the right and shouted.

Su Xin glanced at it, and sure enough, there was a vegetable garden over there, growing some Chinese cabbage, but he didn't expect it to be specially for this fat parrot to raise insects.

He jumped into the vegetable garden, pulled the cabbage leaves, and sure enough, he saw a fat cabbage worm in the leaf, reached out and pinched one and handed it to the top of his head, and wondered: "This vegetable garden is so close to you, and there are so many insects, why don't you fly over and catch it yourself, but you want me to catch it for you to eat?"

"Stupid, stupid, what kind of person is this parrot, have you ever seen the people in the palace cook and eat by themselves? If we do everything we can by ourselves, then what do you people do?" the parrot raised its head and swallowed the cabbage worm, patted Su Xin's head, and pointed.

Su Xin nodded thoughtfully, he didn't expect this parrot to be a philosopher, however, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that the chef in the imperial dining room recently studied a dish called roasted parrots, which is specially designed to burn those white and fat parrots for people to eat!"

The fat parrot drooled a drop of saliva and said to himself: "Roasted parrot, it must be very good to come out, two days ago, the ninth princess also gave me a piece of roast suckling pig, hehe, it's really delicious, although I have a little indigestion after eating..."

It suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and exclaimed: "No, what are you talking about, burn parrots, parrots are so cute, why do you want to burn parrots to eat, it's really unconscionable, which cook, you say, tomorrow I will let the ninth princess drive him out of the palace!"

Su Xin handed him a fat cabbage worm again, shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid not, that chef is the favorite chef of the saint today, and it is said that the parrot is also specially researched by him for the saint to taste." ”

"Woo, ah, you are all bad people, I won't eat it, I won't eat it, I'm going to lose weight, the ninth princess definitely doesn't like to eat Xiaobai's, definitely not!" The fat parrot lined up the cabbage worms handed over by Su Xin, and slowly flew away with a crying voice.

Su Xin looked at its distant figure, and inexplicably felt that this parrot was too smart.

Su Xin smiled, jumped out of the vegetable garden and continued to walk forward, there was a faint sound of water in front of him, he looked for the sound, wanting to see what was rare.

Su Xin bypassed a huge lake rock, glanced at a waterhole in front of him, turned around suddenly, and said secretly: "Don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things, you have to wash your eyes now!"
