Yidiancui is a very small kingfisher, which is very rare, because it is too small, its legs are too thin, and its neck is too thin, so it cannot be used to pass letters with letter paper. However, it has two advantages. One is its flying speed. Quick, the second is that he is very smart, can remember a few words, and write them out with his paws dipped in tea.
Now that Huayan doesn't have birds and eagles around her, she thinks of He Tan's little emerald green.
He Tan nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "Yes, I have been taking good care of it, and I carry it with me every day. According to what the young master said, I have been teaching it to read all these years, and now it knows a lot of characters, and now it is in this palace." The words fell. , he scratched his head, "Young master, when you were in a coma, I really wanted to use it to send a letter to the Sixteenth Prince, but because I was in the palace, I was afraid that it would be shot by the hidden guards of the East Palace, so I didn't dare to let it out."
Huayan smiled, "That just so happens, you bring it to me, and I'll ask it to do me a favor."
He Tan responded happily, and hurried away immediately.
Xiao Zhongzi knew Huayan's habits, so he asked him tentatively, "Crown Princess, do you want to bask in the sun when you come out now?"
Huayan nodded, "OK"
Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly ordered people to go.
Not long after, I chose a place under the shade of the trees in the courtyard and set up a chaise longue. The sunlight fell through the sparse and mottled shadows of the trees, which can get the sun without making people feel too hot.
Huayan was supported by Caiqing and lay down.
Caiqing went back to the room and took a thin blanket to cover him below his waist.
He Tan came with a little jade, and said to Huayan, "Young master, you see, it was raised by me, okay? I exercise it from time to time. Besides writing, I will let it fly around every once in a while. Last year, he went to Lin'an to meet the young master."
Huayan turned her head and took a look, she was standing in the palm of He Tan's palm, looking at her with a little bit of emerald green, she looked like she was smart and quick to praise me, she nodded with a smile, "I was raised by you Very good, very juicy."
He Tan was happy, "Where do you want it to send a letter to whom within ten words, it will definitely reach it. If it is familiar with someone, it will be passed quickly. If it is not familiar with someone, it is estimated that it will be heard. that person's belongings."
Huayan smiled and said, "For Shiliu, he just left yesterday, catch up with him as soon as possible, just say a few words to him."
He Tan immediately said, "That's easy to say. After Master Sixteen came to Southern Border, he still played with it for a few days. It is familiar with Master Sixteen, so it can deliver letters easily without smelling things."
Huayan nodded and said to him, "Okay, let me say a few words to you, you teach it, let it go immediately." After finishing speaking, she said a few words to He Tan.
She didn't shy away from Xiaozhongzi and Caiqing who were beside her.
After hearing this, He Tan remembered it, nodded quickly, took Yidiancui to the side, and dipped in some tea to teach it.
Huayan looked at him, and saw that the young man was writing seriously. After finishing a word, he asked Didiancui if he remembered it. After memorizing it, he happily circled around on the table, drew the word with his paws, and then chirped for He Tan's praise.
He Tan patted its head, happily continuing to teach it the next one.
After about three cups of tea, He Tan finished teaching Huayan the characters to pass on, and let Yidiancui go.
Hua Yan saw that the little figure of Dian Cui quickly flew straight into the sky and rushed to the clouds, and even the shadow disappeared, so she looked back.
He Tan walked back with a smile, and said to Hua Yan, "This little thing is very fast, and it is familiar with the southwest region. The sixteenth son only walked for a night and half a day, and now he doesn't see the southwest region. It can catch up at night at most. , choose a place to rest for an hour at night, and you can return early tomorrow morning."
Huayan nodded.
He Tan took a look at Xiaozhongzi and Caiqing, leaned closer to Huayan, and asked in a low voice, "Young master, our Huichuntang people are confined in the palace all day, when will we be able to move around freely? People are useless and can only sit idle."
Huayan smiled and asked him, "The palace is delicious and comfortable to live in. As far as I know, His Highness the Crown Prince has not treated you badly. It's because you feel bored."
He Tan chuckled and scratched his head, "It's a little stuffy."
Huayan said to him, "Even if you're bored and panic, you have to live here for the time being. Princess Ye Xiangming disappeared last night, and now that the news of the destruction of King Gu's Palace has been revealed, she might join forces with King Li to bring 200,000 soldiers." The horse attacked the southern border capital,
The situation outside is critical now. Although Huichuntang did not participate in the action, the princess Ye Xiangming is not a fool. She must have recalled that she was injured that day. It was to take her blood. I figured out that your grandfather has something to do with this matter , and further, it would be bad if she attacked Huichuntang. After all, she is a princess of Southern Xinjiang. She lived here since she was a child, so she is not considered a princess with no skills. "
He Tan nodded obediently when he heard the words, "Then I'd better just stay in the palace and live in peace."
Huayan nodded, "You can tell everyone later, just say what I said, stay here with peace of mind, if you are really in a hurry, you can make medicines, and make some pills for bruises. Soldiers have a use."
He Tan nodded quickly, "I'll go right away." After finishing speaking, he turned and left. After taking two steps, he turned back again, "Well, young master, I want to make medicine, but there are no medicinal materials."
Huayan smiled and glanced at Xiao Zhongzi, "If you need any medicinal materials, make a list and give it to Xiao Zhongzi, and he will ask someone to help you."
Xiao Zhongzi immediately answered from the side, "The Crown Princess is right, only slaves can handle this matter."
He Tan happily agreed, and trotted away.
Xiao Zhongzi was overjoyed, and said to Huayan, "Crown Princess, what you told the bird just now was to help His Highness."
Huayan said "Yes", "I am fully responsible for putting him in a difficult situation. If I can help a little now, I will help."
Xiao Zhongzi said excitedly, "Your Highness must be very happy to know that you care about him and think about him."
Hua Yan smiled.
Cai Qing said crisply at the side, "This is no small favor. Although the Crown Princess only asked the bird to pass a few words, the servant understands that you want the hidden guards of the Hua family in Lin'an to return to the other side. A group of people secretly stirred up the Southwest meridian, and worked on the rice grain and salt warehouses, so that the 200,000 Li Wangjun and clever wives could hardly cook without rice."
Xiao Zhongzi slapped his head, "It's a stupid slave. Although I knew that the Crown Princess was helping His Highness, I didn't realize it was such a big deal."
Hua Yan said with a smile, "King Li and the 200,000 King Li army are not scary. Since His Royal Highness ordered Mei Shuyu to return to Southern Chu to dispatch troops long before I broke into the Gu Palace to seize the Gu King, now that so many God, the soldiers and horses must have entered the southwest territory. It is easy to stop the 200,000 King Li army, but the most terrifying thing is that if the soldiers and horses in the entire southwest territory are destroyed due to the destruction of the Gu Palace in the southern border, they will be integrated with each other. The small countries no longer have civil wars, and take the opportunity to join forces and deal with His Royal Highness first, adding up to a million soldiers, it is really dangerous."
Cai Qing immediately said, "So, your move is not to encourage the king and the 200,000 troops of the king's army, but to the soldiers and horses of all the barracks in the entire southwest."
Huayan nodded, "Yes, since ancient times, soldiers and horses have to fight, and food and grass must not be lost. Rice, grain and salt warehouses are indispensable."
Cai Qing said in a low voice, "For a hundred years, Southern Chu's control over the Southwest has mostly been in the military policy, and the foundation for people's livelihood is not as good as that of Lin'an Huajia. Now that you help His Highness in this way, His Highness can reduce half of the pressure."
Huayan moved her limp body and sighed helplessly, "I can only do this now, nothing else can help him."
Cai Qing comforted, "Don't think too much, the most important thing is to take care of your body, I trust Your Highness."
Xiao Zhongzi said again and again, "Yes, Your Highness loves you very much. As long as you understand His Highness's heart, His Highness will be happy if you don't help. You don't know, after you left, what kind of days did His Highness live when Yizhi regretted his marriage? At that time, the slaves were afraid that His Highness would suddenly fall to the ground and get sick."
Huayan laughed, and looked at Xiao Zhongzi, "He is sensible and calm, so he won't be as serious as you said."
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head vigorously, and said sincerely, "I dare not lie to the princess, Your Highness really almost fell down. In those days, I was traveling day and night, and I didn't say a word all day, and I was about to fall. I am still a slave." After persuading His Highness, His Highness was relieved a bit, and he gritted his teeth and survived."
Hua Yan was curious, "Oh, how did you persuade him?"
Xiao Zhongzi used to be very afraid of flamboyant faces, but now he is not too afraid. He felt that the princess who did not resist being with His Highness was really easy to serve and get along with. He hesitated for a while, and then said the words of persuasion to Yun Chi with embarrassment.
Huayan listened, and nodded with a smile, "No wonder he chose you to serve him by his side. These words can really enlighten people."
Seeing that she wasn't angry and caring, Xiao Zhongzi smiled and said, "It's all right now, when you return to His Highness, the slave's life will be easier."
Huayan was noncommittal, stopped talking, and closed her eyes with a smile.
