When Wen Huaian left the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, he walked with brisk steps and a cheerful look on his face. This was seen by some people with ulterior motives, and many rumors spread.
Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian once again made their presence felt.
Unfortunately, it still failed to cover up the widely circulated and talked-about stories about Fourth Miss Tang and the Fourth Prince.
Wen Huaian felt upset when he found out. He took a deep breath and silently comforted himself that after tomorrow the whole capital would be filled with rumors about him and Tang Cheng.
In the evening, Su Jingxing, the son of Marquis Dingbei, brought Wen Huaian's surprise, and he was accompanied by the eldest young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion.
"Su Jingxing, what's going on with this parrot?"
When Wen Huaian saw the listless parrot in the cage with its body dyed green, his handsome face turned green with anger.
Two bastards!
Su Jingxing picked up the bird cage and laughed, saying with a double meaning: "Huai'an, don't you think the green parrot is very beautiful? I dyed it specially and sent it to you!"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that this color can't be washed off."
The eldest young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion was shaking: "Huaian, don't you think the green parrot suits you well?"
Wen Huaian had a cold face.
"You like green so much, why don't you wear green?"
"There's nothing we can do. Green has nothing to do with us." Su Jingxing smiled with gloating.
At this moment, the green parrot in the cage suddenly shouted at Wen Huaian, completely changing its previous listlessness.
"Green! Green! Green!"
The scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect this green parrot to be so smart!" Su Jingxing laughed out loud.
Qi Changxiu, the eldest son of Duke Qi's mansion, couldn't help laughing.
Wen Huaian's handsome face darkened.
The green parrot seemed to enjoy showing off. It turned to Su Jingxing and a strange laugh came out of its pointed mouth.
"Hahaha!"
Su Jingxing's laughter paused.
He seemed to be laughed at by a parrot.
It's just hell.
By the way, doesn’t this parrot know how to talk
Su Jingxing was shocked.
Wen Huaian's mood instantly improved. This parrot was indeed the one he had taken a liking to at first sight.
Qi Changxiu burst into laughter again. This green parrot was so funny. After laughing, he said to Wen Huaian.
"Huaian, if you don't like this green parrot, just give it to me. I like it very much."
Wen Huaian decisively refused: "No!"
Qi Changxiu looked disappointed and settled for the next best thing: "Why don't you help me choose a parrot? I trust your vision."
"I chose it based on my feeling. I was just lucky this time." Wen Huaian said.
In fact, he didn't expect that the green parrot would give him such a big surprise.
Tang Cheng must like this surprise very much.
Maybe with this parrot, she will stay in the house peacefully.
"Ahem, have you forgotten me? I have lost a smart and fun parrot, and you won't comfort me?"
Su Jingxing looked sad and angry.
He liked raising birds, and he set aside a remote yard in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to raise many beautiful birds, including a number of talking parrots.
Wen Huaian wanted a parrot, and Su Jingxing generously let him pick one. Unexpectedly, Wen Huaian picked a parrot that had never spoken a word after being taught for countless times.
At that time, he also advised Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian said that the parrot caught his eye and he trusted his intuition.
He was sighing at the time, but he didn't expect that he was the one who made the mistake.
Su Jingxing tightly grasped the birdcage in his hand. Is it too late for him to regret now
“My condolences!”
Wen Huaian patted Su Jingxing on the shoulder, then reached for the birdcage.
Su Jingxing held on tightly.
"I am its former owner."
The green parrot in the birdcage called out to Wen Huaian: "Master!"
Su Jingxing: “…”
Qi Changxiu: “…”
"The parrot is mine now, and it calls me master!" Wen Huaian looked at Su Jingxing with a smile.
Su Jingxing presented the bird cage with tears in his eyes.
Wen Huaian took the birdcage, looked into the green parrot's rolling eyes, and curled up the corners of his mouth.
The more Su Jingxing looked at it, the more heartbroken he felt.
"This heartless and heartless parrot!"
Qi Changxiu: “…”
Wen Huaian raised his eyebrows, lowered his head to tease the green parrot in the cage, and was in a very good mood.
"Huaian, why did you go to Nanyang Marquis' Mansion again today? Don't you think the rumors are not enough? I really don't understand what you and my uncle are thinking. Did the Fourth Miss Tang put a spell on you, so that you and your uncle keep praising her?" Qi Changxiu, the eldest son of Duke Qi's Mansion, looked at Wen Huaian's smile with a look of disappointment.
Wen Huaian looked up at Qi Changxiu: "Tang Cheng is different."
Not only was she very kind to him, she was also the biological mother of his child.
Qi Changxiu's mouth twitched: "Of course she is different. There are noble ladies who are unruly, overbearing and brainless. This Fourth Miss Tang is able to stand out. I guess there is no one like her in the entire Zhou Dynasty!"
Su Jingxing, who had just adjusted his mood, couldn't help laughing when he heard Qi Changxiu's evaluation of the fourth Miss Tang.
"Qi Changxiu, you used this idea of standing out very well."
A black line started to appear on Wen Huaian’s forehead.
These two unreliable guys.
"You can go back now!"
Wen Huaian didn't want to see the two of them now.
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu shrugged their shoulders and decided to come back tomorrow.
They didn't believe that Wen Huaian wanted to keep a parrot himself. He probably wanted to give it to someone else, most likely the spoiled and brainless Fourth Miss Tang. So Su Jingxing maliciously turned the beautiful parrot with a white beak and yellow feet into a green parrot that was green from head to toe.
I never expected that this was a parrot with hidden talents!
Su Jingxing's heart ached again.
After Wen Huaian waited for them to leave, his eyes fell on the green parrot that was looking so proud in the cage.
Since the annoying green color can't be washed off, just dye it red.
Red parrots are always more cheerful, beautiful and have better meanings than green parrots.
Wen Huaian fed the green parrot, teased it and said a few words to it, then he took the birdcage and quietly went to find Tang Ping.
Tang Ping was once a subordinate of the Duke of Zhenguo and is now the steward of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Tang Ping's eyes twitched when he saw the green parrot in the cage in Wen Huaian's hand.
"Prince, where did you get this green parrot? It looks weird."
Wen Huaian avoided answering and handed the birdcage in his hand to Tang Ping: "Uncle Tang, find someone to dye this parrot red from head to toe. I want to see a festive red parrot tomorrow."
Tang Ping was full of black lines: "..."
"good."
Only then did Wen Huaian feel relieved to leave.
Tang Ping told the Duke of Zhenguo that the prince wanted to dye a green parrot red, and the Duke of Zhenguo was speechless.
The next day, when Wen Huaian went to the yamen, Tang Ping brought him a red parrot.
As the red parrot came over, its little eyes rolled around and it screamed at Wen Huaian.
"Master is the best looking!"
"The master is the best!"
Wen Huaian's lips curled up.
Tang Ping: “…”
Trusted servant: "..."
So you are this kind of prince!
Facing Tang Ping's strange gaze, Wen Huaian calmly walked forward to take a closer look at the greatly changed red parrot. The red color of its fur looked very natural, so he hung the birdcage containing the red parrot under the eaves. Looking at it walking around on the perch in a lively manner, a smile flashed in his eyes. He ordered his trusted servant to take good care of it and went to the yamen.
In fact, the parrot could be sent directly to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, but Wen Huaian was afraid that it would be rejected, so he invited Tang Cheng to come to the Zhenguo Mansion and let Tang Cheng take the red parrot back personally, and by the way, make the rumors about Tang Cheng and the Fourth Prince disappear.
…
Tang Cheng stayed quietly in the mansion today, waiting for Wen Huaian to pick her up to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to see the surprise.
Zhenzhu and others were secretly happy when they saw this.
Thinking of the subtle expression on the Marquis's face last night when he learned that the young lady had agreed to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Prince Wen, the four of them laughed secretly in their hearts.
It seems that the Marquis is also very optimistic about Prince Wen.
At noon, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
After Wen Huaian left the court, he rode over on his horse without even changing his official uniform. Tang Cheng got on a carriage with the mark of Nanyang Marquis' Mansion and went to Zhenguogong Mansion with four maids and guards.
The pedestrians on the road were shocked to see this scene, and some idle young men followed curiously.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was unaware of this.
Before Wen Huaian left the government office, Xie Xue Ning, who came from the Xie family in Jinling, had already arrived in Beijing.
The curtain of a gorgeous carriage with the emblem of the Jinling Xie family was lifted, revealing a beautiful and delicate face that was somewhat similar to the appearance of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Min.
She is Xie Xue Ning, the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Jinling.
"Cousin, here I come!"
Xie Xue Ning looked at the towering city wall not far away, a trace of excitement and anticipation passed across her beautiful face. An unparalleled handsome face emerged in her mind, and she murmured softly.
This time when she came to Beijing, she was already prepared to marry her cousin, the Crown Prince.
After receiving the news, Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, hurried to the city gate to pick someone up.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Min family frowned slightly when she saw her sister-in-law, an elder, couldn't wait to pick up her little niece, and felt a little strange in her heart.
Out of woman's intuition, she felt that her sister-in-law's reaction was very wrong.
I've heard before that my sister-in-law dotes on Xue Ning, but this is too much.
Is it because of guilt
The eldest sister-in-law of the Min family couldn't understand it and could only explain it by saying that she felt guilty.
At this time, Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, had already met Xie Xue Ning. When Xie Xue Ning saw Lady Min, she happily and excitedly shouted, "Aunt!" Then she lifted up her skirt, got off the Xie family's carriage, and ran towards Lady Min's carriage.
"Go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
When Min in the carriage saw Xie Xue Ning, her eyes became slightly moist. Xie Xue Ning immediately threw herself into Min's arms and hugged her excitedly.
"Aunt, Xue Ning misses you so much!"
"Aunt misses Xue Ning too!" Min's nose felt sore and she raised her hand to gently brush the hair that had fallen by her ears.
"Aunt, I want to stay in the capital to accompany you. I don't want to go back to Jinling." Xie Xue Ning nestled in Min's arms and said coquettishly.
Min said quickly: "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Wait until you and Huai'an decide on your marriage, and then stay in Beijing to prepare for your marriage."
Xie Xue Ning smiled contentedly, she knew that her aunt loved her the most.
The cousin is also hers!
The aunt and nephew were talking affectionately in the carriage, and they didn't know that Wen Huaian also took Tang Cheng to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today.
Wen Huaian, Tang Cheng and his party were one step faster than the carriage of Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, but they had not yet entered the house and just stopped at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
The guards at the gate were shocked when they saw the carriage of the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Nanyang.
Tang Cheng leaned out of the window in the carriage and gave a bright smile to the handsome man standing next to the carriage.
"Wen Huaian, are you ready for your big surprise?"
Wen Huaian looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, you will see it later, come down quickly."
At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from far away. From afar, an exquisite and luxurious carriage was coming towards them. After a while, it stopped on the other side of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, opposite Tang Cheng's carriage.
After seeing the Min family mark on the carriage, Wen Huaian had a bad feeling in his heart.
After a while, a graceful lady and a beautiful young girl got off the carriage.
Wen Huaian's handsome face changed slightly when he saw the two of them.
It turned out to be my mother and cousin!
