The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 63
The Rare Animal Garden is in the northwest corner of the palace, near the north gate.

This was the first time Fu Xuechen had seen an ancient zoo, but the zoo in this era belonged to the royal family and would not be open to the public, and the animals inside would not receive a large number of tourists who specially visited them.

The Royal Rare Animal Garden of the Darong Empire is also divided into five workshops, namely the Bird Workshop, the Elephant Workshop, the Leopard Workshop, the Eagle Workshop, and the Strange Beast Workshop. In addition, there is also a plant garden, where many rare plants that are not commonly seen outside are planted.

Among them, the poultry workshop is divided into two parts, one is next to the botanical garden, covered by a fine net, which mainly contains starlings, thrushes, parrots, peacocks and other terrestrial birds that do not rely on lake water, and the other covers a large area. In the water area, there are water birds such as swans, cranes, and mandarin ducks. Because of their habits, these water birds do not need to be restricted by cages, or even specially managed. They will come to this water area every year to live, and they come and go quite freely.

In the elephant workshop, there are elephants donated by the southern kingdoms. I heard that in the previous dynasty, elephants were auspicious beasts, and they were often brought outside to participate in ceremonies on major festivals and festivals.

Leopard Square is a place to raise beasts. In the previous dynasty, there were not only leopards, but also tigers and bears. When it came to Darong, Emperor Yuan'an disliked the daily need for a large amount of meat for raising beasts, which was too expensive. He ordered slaughtering and cooking After a year, there were only a few leopards and two brown bears left.

Tigers are full of treasures, their meat can be eaten, and their parts can be used to make medicines. They are the first to be killed. There are not many leopards, and the value of their meat is not as good as tigers, so they are left behind. Bears can also eat meat, and bear paws are even rarer. Delicious, only two of them were eaten after the tigers, and in a short time, even these two will probably be eaten up.

Fu Xuechen was speechless when Yun Zuo talked about the fate of these ferocious beasts in the beast garden, he didn't expect it!Emperor Yuan'an turned out to be a foodie. The former emperor raised ferocious beasts, which was probably used to show off the noble status of the royal family. As a result, Emperor Yuan'an didn't have this string in his mind. Compared with spending money to raise these ferocious beasts, he would rather kill them directly. eat meat.

Leaving the lonely and empty Leopard Square, the next one to go is Yingfang. Compared with Leopard Square, Yingfang is much more lively. There are big eagles, bald eagles, falcons, owls, and sea dongqing.

Emperor Yuan'an no longer had the idea of ​​killing eagles to eat meat. In his opinion, eagles are good hunting aids and can be domesticated to deliver information for the army, which is very useful, so he raised many people who are proficient in eagle training. In Yingfang, he specially trained eagles for him. According to the person in charge of Yingfang, there was a pair of ferocious Haidongqing, which was the favorite of Emperor Yuan'an, and they were named "General Wei" and "Smart Handsome".

"Father just allowed me to have a young Haidongqing, but I have to wait at least two months, until it learns to fly and leaves the Eagle's Nest before it can start training." An artificial eagle's nest: "There are two young birds that have just hatched in that nest, and they are the species of Meng Shuai and General Wei!"

Two months!Fu Xuechen sighed secretly. After two months, she and Fu Yuchen would have to switch back to each other's identities, so she would have no chance to see how Yun Zuo established a pet relationship with the young Hai Dongqing, and how to beat the eagle.

Sensing that Fu Xuechen seemed a little lost, Yunzuo thought for a while and tried to comfort him: "If you want it too, I'll find a chance to ask my father for you later! There are two little Haidongqings, one for me and one for you! "

Fu Xuechen smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Your Highness!"

Birds of prey are birds of prey after all, even domesticated hawks have an air of not getting close to them. If they stare at them for a few seconds with those sharp eagle eyes, their scalps will feel cold.

In contrast, Fu Xuechen, a relatively small owl, is not afraid anymore, and always thinks that these little things with round eyes are called raptors, but they are cute.

In one of the cages, Fu Xuechen even saw a few snowy owls with a few brown spots on their bodies.

Isn't this the Hedwig described in "Harry Potter"!Fu Xuechen suddenly seemed to have roots under his feet, and he stayed outside the birdcage, not wanting to leave, and stared there with his eyes shining.

The snowy owl, the king of arctic birds, looks majestic at first glance, but after a while, when it "smiles", its whole expression changes, and it suddenly becomes extremely cute and funny, making people laugh.

Yun Zuo was a little surprised: "Do you like snowy owls?"

Fu Xuechen said "hmm": "They look so fun!"

But Yun Zuo shook his head: "Snowy owls are not easy to keep. They like to eat voles and hares. I don't think it's suitable for girls. If one day it suddenly catches a mouse and gives it to your sister..."

Fu Xuechen's face suddenly changed, this is impossible!

Yoon Zuo probably guessed it, but in his previous life, there was really such a news: Because he was adopted by humans, the owl reciprocated, and every now and then he caught the mouse and came back to kill it, and put it on the side of the hostess's pillow, "feed it" Mistress, watching the news makes me laugh and cry, it's very interesting, but if it happens to me, think about sleeping well in the morning, waking up and opening my eyes to see a tragically dead mouse stuck to its head... Oh my God!

"Let's go! Let's go!" Fu Xuechen hurriedly turned around and left.

Yun Zuo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing instantly, Fu Xuechen's reaction was too funny, isn't it?

The two finally went to the strange animal workshop, which is also divided into two parts, one with relatively large and unique animals such as rhinos, hippos, zebras, giraffes, etc., and one with small animals, such as golden monkeys, red pandas, snowflakes, etc. Mink, mantle, red fox, etc., among which there are more cats and dogs.

Many cat breeds have been bred in this era, such as Angora cats, four-eared Jianzhou cats, lion cats, Maine Coon cats, leopard cloud cats, etc. Dogs include poodles, Tibetan mastiffs, Shih Tzu...

As soon as Fu Xuechen came, he was caught by two lion cats with snow-white long hair, one green pupil and one blue golden pupil!In this era, there is no gradual layer of British short-haired American short-blue cats that are common in later generations. The best-looking cat is the lion cat. At first glance, it looks like the long-haired Napoleon of later generations, but its legs and feet are longer, unlike cats of later generations. Stupid with short legs.

Seeing that Fu Xuechen was guarding the cattery and didn't want to leave, Yun Zuo called the eunuch in charge of the cattery, pointed to the two lion cats and asked, "Are these two cats grown up?"

The eunuch in charge said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, these two have just grown up, but..."

"What?" Yoongi asked.

The eunuch in charge said carefully: "These two cats already have owners, and they are all recorded under the name of His Highness the Fourth Highness."

Yun Zuo couldn't help being surprised: "Fourth brother adopted a cat? But why haven't I seen him with a cat before?"

"It's like this. His Highness the Fourth Highness came to the cattery two years ago and wanted to take the two cats back to the palace, but the empress refused to allow it. His Highness the Fourth Highness can only come here every now and then to enjoy them."

The eunuch in charge pursed his lips, and continued: "In the past two months, although the Fourth Highness has come less frequently, the cat has been recorded under the Fourth Highness's name after all, and the servants dare not give the cat to others."

　I'm almost 20 days old and I'm still coughing. I'm a little hesitant, should I go for a CT?
