Chapter 177 A Thrush

Su Qianyun took it suspiciously, and after taking a look at Su Xiyun, she slowly picked one and put it in her mouth, biting it lightly, her mouth was immediately filled with sweetness.She ate it slowly, only to be surprised: "This thing doesn't taste sour, is it grapes?"

Princess Jingyi chuckled and said: "Of course it is a grape, but it is a grape from Fanbang, which is not what we can have in Daqi. This thing actually looks good, but it is not as good as our grapes at all. Come, come, Xiyun, try it too." She said, reaching out to take a bunch and handing it to Su Xiyun.

Su Xiyun didn't know how many grapes she ate in her previous life. This is really not a novelty to her, but on such an occasion, she had to cooperate with Princess Jingyi's words and pretend to be surprised. , not to mention how tired she was, even she herself felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was so fake.But Princess Jingyi on the opposite side didn't seem to notice it, and still handed it over with a smile, waiting for Su Xiyun to pick it up.

Looking at the string of juicy grapes in the other party's slender hands, Su Xiyun reluctantly took it and ate it, then smiled: "It's delicious."

Only then did Princess Jingyi order the plate of grapes to be taken away, and then she sat there with dishes laid out, serving her breakfast. During this time, Su Xiyun thought sitting was boring, so she brought Su Qianyun to the porch, teasing her. There was a thrush bird there, the bird was petite, and its song was melodious. Su Xiyun, who had never seen a thrush before, was very interested. Seeing the bird singing happily, she remembered I read a poem by Ouyang Xiu, a great poet in the Song Dynasty: Hundreds of chants and thousands of voices move at will, and the mountain flowers are red and purple and the trees are high and low.Shi Zhisuo listens to the golden cage, which is not as good as the free singing in the forest.I don't know if the bird was locked in a cage, whether it was lucky or unlucky.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiyun recited this poem out of a whim of interest, and just as she finished speaking, a laugh sounded from beside her: "Miss Su San is very talented in literature."

Su Xiyun hurriedly turned her head back, and saw that maid named Xiuyue appeared again, still smiling, greeted them respectfully, and then stood there prettyly, as good-looking as she wanted.

Su Xiyun looked at the pretty maid who was walking towards her, she really didn't know what to say, she really wanted to ask Xiuyue, don't you even need to serve your master?Are you so idle?But no matter how entangled and depressed she was, she didn't say a word, because she could tell that Miss Xiuyue was not an ordinary maid.When she didn't figure out what the origin of this person was, she usually kept her face.

But Xiuyue took the bird food and went forward to Su Xiyun and said: "You two ladies, this thrush was brought back by our princess from the south. Look, is this bird different from the usual one?" As he spoke, he wanted to pass the bird food in his hand to Su Xiyun.

If Su Xiyun is a bird lover, or if she is very curious and playful, then she will definitely reach out to take the bird food, but Su Xiyun didn't reach out to take it, but said with a smile: "What's the matter?" It's different, forgive me for my poor eyesight, I didn't see it." Actually, it was just an ordinary thrush, and she was not a professional zoologist in her previous life, so she really couldn't tell from the outside.

Su Qianyun was about to reach out to take the bird food and feed it to the birds, but when she saw Su Xiyun's actions, she dismissed her thoughts.She knew that Su Xiyun's actions were implicitly guarding, so she couldn't help but look at Xiuyue a few more times, but unfortunately, she couldn't see anything else except that the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she looked like Kisaragi.

Seeing that neither of them reached out to pick up the bird food in her hand, Xiuyue smiled and said, "Listen, ladies, how happy this bird is singing! This is a rare way to feed birds. Interesting, the two ladies don't want to try it?"

Well, seeing that they didn't reach out to pick them up, she asked directly.

Su Xiyun smiled slightly, and said calmly: "No, I have never fed the birds. This is the princess's favorite thing. If something goes wrong, it will be the fault of both of us. I don't want it." Glancing at Xiuyue, she said, "Miss Xiuyue, are you going to feed it? Oh, we are the ones blocking your way, why don't you say anything?" As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled Su Qianyun to the side Let go, stay away from the bird cage.

Seeing this, Xiuyue's eyes flickered quickly, and then she smiled and said: "The two ladies are out of touch when they say this, everyone knows that the two are the best friends of our Princess, how could the Princess blame you What about it? Besides, this bird was raised for ornamental purposes, and it is an honor for it to be appreciated by the two young ladies."

Having said that, she didn't say anything more, but stood beside the cage with the bird food in her hand, carefully and slowly sprinkled the food in, and the two birds immediately started eating happily in the cage , Xiuyue poured clean water into the sink in the birdcage again, and waited by the side until the two birds were full and stood beside them and began to comb their feathers. Then she turned around and smiled and said to Sister Su Xiyun: "You two young ladies! , our princess thinks that we should have finished our breakfast by now, please come in, both of you!"

Su Xiyun stared straight at the bird cage behind Xiuyue, and said in a daze, "You, look at that bird."

Xiuyue turned her head in a hurry, but saw that the thrush, which had been jubilant just now, had fallen limply in the cage on its back, and it seemed that it would not survive.

Xiuyue's complexion changed drastically, and she rushed over immediately, inspected it carefully, then turned her head and said angrily to Su Xiyun: "Miss Su San, what did you feed it just now? You actually killed it, what are you doing?" Take care!"

When Su Xiyun heard this, she immediately changed her face and said, "You spout blood! Just now, my sister and I have been standing here the whole time, and we have never been near the cage at all! It is obvious that you fed it food and water with your own hands, but now something happened. You don't say to find out what's going on first, but you actually beat me up here, I want to ask you what your intentions are!"

As soon as Xiuyue heard it, she was about to refute immediately. At this moment, the bead curtain inside the door was lifted, and Lord Jingyi came out accompanied by the maidservant. ;"What happened? What are you talking about?"

Su Xiyun looked up at Princess Jingyi, and said nothing with a sullen face.

They made such a big commotion here just now, Princess Jingyi sat in the room, even if she didn't hear everything clearly, she would definitely listen to it closely.But at this moment, she pretended to be ignorant and ignorant, what was the meaning?
Before Su Xiyun could get to the bottom of it, Princess Jingyi had already turned to her maid, Xiuyue, and said with a gloomy face, "Xiyun and Qianyun are good sisters that I invited with great difficulty. I want you to entertain them well. Treated like this? Did you just ignore my words? What happened here just now, why don’t you quickly tell the truth!”

Xiuyue immediately knelt down with a "plop", admitted her mistake again and again, and then said: "Princess, just now the two ladies of the uncle's mansion came out of the inner hall, and saw that the thrush was so cute, so they teased the thrush next to it, and ordered the servants I went to get some food to feed the birds, the servant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to look for it, because the food prepared in our Ziwei courtyard had been used up yesterday, so the servant had no choice but to look for it in the kitchen, so the big kitchen was not available. Far away, the servants went away for a while and then came back with food. Although the two ladies felt that the servants had been away for a long time, they didn't say anything. The bird enjoyed it, and Miss San even added water to it."

Following Xiuyue's words, Su Xiyun's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and Su Qianyun next to her didn't show her way.She already knew what Xiuyue was going to say next.She couldn't help but smiled wryly in her heart: She was already so careful, why did she still fall for this maid's tricks!But is this what Xiuyue meant, or Princess Jingyi?After all, Xiuyue is the maidservant of Lord Jingyi, the kind she trusts...

Su Xiyun glanced at Princess Jingyi, but saw that the other party also had a dark face.

Xiuyue secretly observed the expressions of the crowd, and continued: "The servants didn't pay much attention when they saw the birds eating happily, but what the servants never expected was that they ate the food fed by the two ladies. In an instant, she fell to the ground, and the slaves were shocked, and hurried forward to check, but the two birds were already dead." At this point, Xiuyue was sobbing uncontrollably.

Monarch Jingyi's face was very ugly. After listening to Xiuyue's words, she didn't turn around to question Su Xiyun and sisters, and didn't even look at them. She just stared straight at the birdcage and walked over slowly. , stretched out his hand to gently caress the birdcage, the beautiful princess, the dead bird in the exquisite birdcage, this picture is so weird no matter how you look at it.

Xiuyue only glanced at it, then hurriedly lowered her head.

Su Xiyun didn't dodge, she looked straight at Princess Jingyi's back, feeling a little angry in her heart, she didn't expect that in this ancient time, she would be on all possible precautions in the uncle's mansion, such a scheming person like Su Daiyun, They failed to design her, but now she was set in a trap in the county prince's mansion, and the man wanted to make her suffer, how could this not make her extremely depressed?
To be honest, she didn't expect that there were people in the county palace who came to deal with her.Even in the past when Qi Junhan's idle son entangled her all the time, she had never been so angry. These days, although she mentioned the county palace, she still had such a feeling of escaping, but for Jingyi County Lord, she still came bravely.

No matter what the outcome of today's incident, Su Xiyun swears that she will never step here again!
