The Regent's little cutie is four and a half years old

Chapter 371 Peacock
The jealousy that flashed in Shu Yun's eyes did not escape Gu Qingning's eyes.

Sure enough, she was jealous of herself in her heart. A woman who fell into the vortex of love couldn't be offended, couldn't be offended.

"Sister Shu, this is a gift from Ning Ning. It's not much, but it's also Ning Ning's wish. You can accept it." Gu Qingning glanced back, followed by the second-class maid who followed from the mansion. , and put the things in his hands on the table next to him.

There are more than a dozen boxes, large and small, all of which are expensive gifts.

Shu Yun pretended to be polite, and at the same time winked at her personal maid, Chunhe, "Look at you, come here, and bring any gifts. Sit down and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. Later, my sister will take you to the backyard to see peacocks." go."

"Peacock?"

"Yeah, last year my father bought two from a merchant and kept them in the backyard. One male and one female, the green skin is very beautiful."

Gu Qingning didn't know that the prime minister's mansion also raised peacocks. Peacocks were rare in their Jiang Dynasty, and even their palace didn't have them.

There are many peacocks in the Yan Kingdom, and the queens and concubines are raised in the palace. Gu Qingning has seen them a few times.

She only knows that the peacock is very beautiful when it spreads its tail, but she has never seen it before.

"Come, let's drink tea."

Gu Qingning took the tea that Chunhe handed over, and took a few sips, it was a little hot.

After exchanging some pleasantries in the main hall, Shu Yun asked Chunhe to come over with an umbrella, ready to go to the backyard to see the peacocks.

The rain was much lighter than when Gu Qingning and the others had just arrived, and it wouldn't take long for it to stop.

Along the way, Shu Yun introduced to Gu Qingning the various courtyards in the mansion, such as where Prime Minister Shu lived and where Concubine Ji lived.

When Shu Yun introduced the courtyard where Concubine Ji lived, Gu Qingning was a little bit taken aback.

Looking back at the extra large courtyard, can concubine Ji live in such a large courtyard?
The size of the yard was comparable to that of Shu Yun's.

Chunhe is a person who can read words and expressions. Seeing her expression, she explained, "Miss, there are many concubines in my lord's house. Madam asked them to live in the same courtyard in order to control them."

"Then, how many lives in it?"

"Not many, a dozen or so." Chunhe said calmly.

A dozen or so?How much is too much?
There are so many concubines, but there is not even a concubine, which is quite amazing.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the backyard, where two maids were feeding the peacocks with food.

Here is a small garden, the peacock is walking slowly in the rain, not afraid to see strangers coming, staring at Gu Qingning with two pairs of eyes.

When it rained, their feathers got wet a lot.The rain was not heavy, so the outermost layer was soaked and could not penetrate.

The peacock raised its neck proudly and walked past Gu Qingning.

"How about it? Does it look good? If it wasn't for the rain today, their hair would be even more beautiful when they were wet." Seeing that she was almost done seeing her, Shu Yun walked up to Gu Qingning and said.

These two peacocks are usually her favorite. When she is in a bad mood, she will come over to look at them. Occasionally, the male peacock will open his screen to show his face.

"Beauty is pretty, but now it's just spring, let them rain, aren't you afraid they will get sick?" Gu Qingning looked at them worriedly.

Standing outside by herself, Gu Qingning felt that the cold air kept coming in through the gaps in her clothes, seeping into her delicate skin.
