The corners of Wu Sanniang's mouth curled up slightly as she cheered in her heart.
She handed the box containing the jade to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen accepted it helplessly.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave.”
Wu Sanniang was startled and immediately said,"That's good. I'll send Censor Yang out of the palace."”
Yang Chen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but when he saw Wu Sanniang's smiling eyes, he didn't say anything.
Just as the two of them were about to walk to the palace door, a burst of chattering suddenly sounded in Yang Chen's ears.
Yang Chen was stunned and immediately turned his head.
He saw a small and exquisite birdcage on a rosewood shelf not far away.
Inside the cage was a colorful bird.
This bird was extremely beautiful.
Wu Sanniang followed Yang Chen's gaze and said,""Is Imperial Censor Yang also interested in this bird? That's right. This bird is quite beautiful and extremely precious. Even Second Sister likes it very much.”
"Your Majesty?" Yang Chen was stunned.
Wu Sanniang nodded." That's right. This bird was left in my care by Second Sister. If it's kept in the study, it'll be bad for our reputation."”
Yang Chen nodded slightly. As the Emperor, it was indeed not good for Wu Ling to be addicted to playing with birds.
"It seems that His Majesty really trusts Third Aunt.”
Wu Sanniang pursed her lips slightly, her starry eyes flickering slightly." Second Sister has always doted on me, but she is also a decisive and determined person. She is a true talent of an emperor. Therefore, if it were not for Censor Yang's help in this marriage alliance, I'm afraid Second Sister would really have married me off."
Yang Chen was speechless. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
Wu Sanniang blinked her beautiful eyes and quickly regained her composure, as if her emotions just now did not exist.
"This is Second Sister's favorite bird. Don't you want to see it, Imperial Censor Yang?" she said with a smile.”
"Alright, then I'll take a look at Your Majesty's bird," Yang Chen said seriously.
Wu Sanniang and Yang Chen walked to the birdcage.
This birdcage was quite exquisite and exquisite.
Wu Sanniang blinked her beautiful eyes and opened the cage door. She stretched out her fair and slender fingers and poked the bird.
"Censor Yang, this bird is very obedient and has always been very close to people.”
"Uh, Third Aunt, if this door is opened, won't it fly?”
"No, the bird is quite human and has never flown before.”
Yang Chen nodded. He followed Wu Sanniang's example and poked inside.
The bird looked extremely docile, and its feathers were soft and comfortable.
Yang Chen nodded to himself. The bird that caught Wu Ling's eye was definitely not ordinary. However, even with his vast knowledge, he could not recognize what species this bird was.
Because they were teasing the birds, the two of them were not far from each other.
Yang Chen didn't really care. After all, such a distance was really nothing in the future.
Wu Sanniang's face was slightly flushed.
Her eyelashes fluttered and she looked very shy.
At this moment, the princess's mind was no longer on the bird in front of her. She was somewhat absent-minded.
Yang Chen was quite interested in this bird. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how the empress had secretly hidden the bird.
It seemed that this cold and elegant empress was not as unapproachable as she appeared to be.
Yang Chen unconsciously increased the strength of his fingers.
Suddenly, the bird started chirping.
The two of them were stunned.
In the next moment.
The bird flapped its wings.
Plop!
It flew out of the cage.
"F * ck." Yang Chen was dumbfounded and could not react at all.
Plop. Plop.
The bird flew away in the blink of an eye.
The room instantly fell silent.
Wu Sanniang and Yang Chen looked at each other speechlessly.
The two of them were silent for a long time.
"Third Aunt, does His Majesty like this bird very much?”
"That's right. Second Sister treats him like a treasure…There was once a palace maid who accidentally injured this bird. Second Sister was furious and severely punished it.”
"Uh, what if the bird disappeared?”
"I might die."
“........”
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Inside Hanyuan Palace.
Wu Ling leaned lazily against the headboard of the bed. She held an ancient book in her hand, and her beautiful face was filled with concentration.
After a while.
A flurry of footsteps sounded.
Wu Ling was startled and she frowned slightly.
She hated being disturbed when she was reading.
Usually, with Shangguan Wan 'er guarding outside, there would be almost no movement.
What was going on?
Just as she was thinking, Shangguan Wan 'er's figure appeared in her field of vision.
"Your Majesty…"
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips slightly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to carry a trace of anxiety.
"Wan 'er, what's wrong?" Wu Ling frowned.
Shangguan Wan 'er lowered her eyes." Your Majesty, you lost your bird."
"Lost the bird?" Wu Ling subconsciously muttered.
"What? The bird is lost?" She suddenly raised her voice, and her phoenix eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
She was born into an official position and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although she was a woman, her literary skills and martial arts were not inferior to men.
Sitting in the position of the Emperor required her to rack her brains and plan all sorts of things.
Her hobbies were limited, and raising birds was a way for her to relax.
That bird was also quite precious, and Wu Ling took great care of it. He didn't expect it to be gone?!
Wu Ling quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice,"What happened?"
Shangguan Wan 'er whispered,"I heard that Princess Fenyang and Censor Yang were watching the bird together. In the end, I don't know why, but the bird suddenly flew away…" He had already sent people to look for it, but there were no clues yet.”
The atmosphere in the hall gradually quieted down.
The expression on Wu Ling's pretty face was extremely interesting.
"Censor Yang? It's him again!"
She was speechless. How did Sanniang get involved with Yang Chen?
Moreover, it seemed that wherever Yang Chen appeared, there would be trouble.
Wu Ling was silent for a moment before he coldly said,"Ask Yang Chen to come and see me!"”
"Yes." Shangguan Wan 'er said in a low voice.
