Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 338 Feed the Birds
The emperor immediately ordered Princess Xinglan to go to the Bird Garden to feed the canaries for him.

After Princess Xinglan evacuated from Suhe Palace in embarrassment, she talked about her marriage with Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi knew that the matter was serious, and told her to keep her own life during this period and not to provoke Yili for the time being.

Xinglan also stayed silent for two days, and was overjoyed to hear that Eunuch Xi personally came to tell that the emperor asked her to go to the bird garden to feed the canaries.

Concubine Qi Gui said to her: "Your father takes care of these birds very much, and let you feed them yourself, which shows how much he values ​​you."

The seventh prince heard it from the side, and sneered, "Don't forget, my sister is still carrying the name of a demon star, and my father asked her to feed the birds, not because of value, but as a test."

Concubine Qi Gui and Princess Xinglan were shocked when they heard this, and asked why.

The Seventh Prince said: "Today, He Lianying entered the palace, presumably she chose a husband-in-law for my sister, and this choice must also be disliked by my father, so I will test whether my sister's evil spirit can be removed. As expected, after my sister came back from feeding the birds, if there were any problems with the birds in the bird garden, my sister's husband-in-law would be decided."

Xing Lan snorted and said: "I don't believe in the rumors of any demon stars. These so-called demon stars are just rumors fabricated by the national teacher. I don't believe that when I feed the birds, the birds will die."

Concubine Qi thought for a while, "However, what Qi'er said is not unreasonable, it's better to be more cautious. We prepare the bird food ourselves, lest Yili buy the bird supervisor and poison the bird food."

The Seventh Prince wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just sat aside, looking very old-fashioned.

"Cangyue, Cangyue!" Concubine Qi called out, but was stopped by Xinglan, "Concubine Mu, let Caiqi go to prepare."

Concubine Qi immediately understood, waved her hand, and let Cang Yue go out again, "It's okay, you can go out."

Cang Yue bowed and retreated.

Cang Yue knew that although she could still stay in Fushen Palace, Qi Guifei's mother and daughter would no longer trust her.

Caiqi prepared bird food, and went to the bird garden with Xinglan.

There are more than a hundred kinds of birds in the bird garden. The emperor actually dislikes canaries the least, and loves parrots the most. So, this time, for the sake of caution, he ordered the inner eunuch to move all the parrots to the inner room.

He asked the sparrow supervisor to hang the canary's cage at the end, and only asked Xinglan to feed the canary.

Throw in the crushed corn crumbs, the canaries eat happily, and Xinglan teases these birds with a flowery smile on his face.

She knew that her father must be watching her nearby, and she had to behave as sunny and gentle as possible without showing any displeasure.

Although, she doesn't like these noisy birds.

After feeding all the more than ten canaries, the sparrow supervisor stepped forward and said to Xinglan: "Princess, it's fine, there is no need to feed the rest."

Xing Lan seemed a little unsatisfied, and looked at half a plate of crushed corn left, and said, "Don't you need to feed the rest? There are so many left, it would be a pity to lose them."

Quejian said: "Princess, there is no need, the rest of the bird food will be left here, and the servants can feed it later."

"Alright then." Xing Lan clapped his hands, "Choose chess, leave the bird food, let's go."

"Yes!" Caiqi handed the bird food to the bird supervisor, and helped Xinglan out.

Not long after Xing Lan left, the bird she had fed jumped up and down in the cage, very lively, and did not die as He Lianying said.

And Concubine Qi Gui also sent someone to watch at the bird garden, and immediately report back to her if there is any news.

But half an hour later, the watcher reported back that the bird was fine.

Concubine Qi was overjoyed, and said in a deep voice: "If those birds are all normal, it means that your status as a demon star can make a big fuss, and we can find an eminent monk to rectify your name."

Xinglan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Father believes in the people of Blood Sacred Mountain. I heard that He Lianying is the elder of Blood Sacred Mountain. He was recommended by Bai Suning, the national teacher of Southern Chu. Father is very fond of him." I am convinced that it is useless to seek any high-ranking monk, but have you found out who is the husband-in-law that He Lianying found for me? This person is not even satisfied with the father, and the lintel is limited if he thinks about it."

"Understood, Mingwei General Zhang Gongyun." Qi Guifei gritted her teeth authentically.

"Mingwei General Zhang Gongyun?" Xing Lan frowned, "What family status? I've never heard of it."

"His father worked in Dali Temple. As for this Zhang Gongyun, he is the only general in the Zhang family. He has no achievements. He was named General Mingwei for his achievements in suppressing bandits a few years ago, but he was married to the third wife. The wives all died unexpectedly, it is said that they are the lone star of Tiansha."

Xing Lan was taken aback, "What? You promised me to such a person? I will never marry."

Concubine Qi said: "Fortunately, your father didn't agree, so he ordered you to feed the birds to test you. Now those birds are safe and sound. Your father wants to let him find another candidate, but the one he is looking for will not be What a good family, you have to ask your grandfather to take care of it outside."

"Grandpa's behavior is rather weak, mother and concubine might as well go to Qi Zhurong, I heard that he also got the help of someone from Blood Sacred Mountain, that person's name is Bai Suqing, I don't know what is the relationship with Bai Suning?" Xing Lan said.

Concubine Qi groaned for a while, "Qi Zhurong is a sinister and vicious person, forming an alliance with him is actually seeking skin from a tiger, but now we can only rely on him."

The mother and daughter were talking, when Cang Yue came in from the outside and said hurriedly: "Young Concubine, something is wrong."

Xing Lan was slightly annoyed: "What are you doing so loudly? What's wrong?"

Cang Yue said: "Returning to the princess, the sparrow supervisor came to report just now, saying that the dozen or so canaries that the princess fed were all dead."

"Dead? How did this happen?" Concubine Qi was shocked, "Didn't you say you were very lively just now? Why did you die so quickly? Did someone tamper with you?"

Cang Yue said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been in the Bird Garden all the time, I'm afraid no one can do anything about it."

Xing Lan's face was pale, and he said in disbelief, "We prepared those bird food, and it was not poisonous. How could those birds die? Did someone feed them poison in advance?"

Cang Yue said: "No, the sparrow supervisor said that those canaries were either poisoned to death, or died for no reason."

Concubine Qi Gui said solemnly: "Could it be that there is really something about the demon star? But, the national teacher said, this is just...?"

Seeing that Cang Yue was present, she stopped talking and said, "Go ahead and inquire, and report back immediately if you have any news."

"Yes!" Cang Yue turned around and left.

The emperor was indeed in the bird garden all the time, from the time when Xinglan was feeding to when Xinglan left, he didn't leave.

Seeing that the canaries fed by Xinglan were very lively, he was very happy, but, slowly, he saw that the canaries, which had been alive and kicking, began to lose their spirits, and finally died after a few flops in the cage .

His complexion also slowly became serious, and he looked at He Lianying next to him, "It seems that everything is as expected, sir."
