There is a rare treasure garden in the north courtyard of Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Mubei, the prince of Zhennan, liked to raise rare and exotic animals, and the people below him liked him, so they searched everywhere for him, including peacocks, white cranes, squirrels, monkeys, and even a white tiger.
As the number of animals increased, Prince Xiao simply opened up a piece of land in the North Courtyard to build a rare treasure garden, and specially invited people to watch and raise these animals.
The place where Princess Xiao took Xie Wu to see the treasure was the Wonder Garden.
However, upon hearing Princess Xiao's words, the woman who was looking after the wonder garden immediately knelt down and apologized, "Princess, please forgive me, but the iron ball you brought back was taken away by someone just sent by the Crown Prince."
"Took it away? Where?" Xiao Muqing was a little angry.
She boasted in front of Ah Wu that she had finally reached this point, but the woman told her that Xiao Mubei had taken away the iron ball!
"The prince said..."
"say what!"
"The prince said that Second Young Master Lu was very interested in the iron ball, so he gave the iron ball to him..." the mother-in-law said timidly.
"What Mr. Lu! Why did Xiao Mubei do this? I picked up the iron ball, it's mine! Mine! Why did he make the decision to give it away! Also, what happened to Mr. Lu?
What a thing! How can he just ask for something from someone else’s house? He’s so shameless!” Princess Xiao caught the mother-in-law and gave her a violent beating.
And Miss Xie, who was lucky enough to learn Princess Xiao's tongue skills from the side, the smile at the corner of her mouth was more dazzling than the sunshine above her head.
"Go, you go and bring me the iron ball right now!" After venting her anger, Princess Xiao simply pointed at the tip of the woman's nose and said loudly.
After hearing this, the old lady quickly begged with a sad face, "Princess Princess, please spare me, I really don't dare to go..."
No, Xiao Muqing became even more angry after hearing what she said. She simply put her hands on her waist and shouted at her mother-in-law, "You don't dare to go to Xiao Mubei, but you dare to give my iron ball to others!"
"Old slave, old slave..."
"Okay, Princess, since the Crown Prince has given away the 'iron ball', wouldn't it hurt the Crown Prince's face if you go to find someone else to get it now?"
"Oh, he wants to be shameless, but I am shameless!" Princess Xiao rolled her eyes and said angrily.
Xie Wu couldn't help but smile again, and then she said, "However, Princess, after listening for so long, I only know that your baby's name is 'Iron Ball'? But what exactly is this 'Iron Ball'?"
Speaking of this, Princess Xiao's eyes lit up again, "Iron Ball is actually an iron-eating beast. Have you seen an iron-eating beast? It looks like a bear and a cat, but it is very beautiful, especially when it was small and round.
It's a round ball, soft and waxy, so cute!" Princess Xiao kept gesticulating with Xie Wu as she spoke, her slender phoenix eyes filled with light and smile.
"What a pity, that idiot Xiao Mubei actually gave my iron ball to Lu Er! Does he know how rare an iron-eating beast is, especially one as small as an iron ball? If I hadn't been lucky, it would have been impossible.
I picked up such a treasure!" Princess Xiao said as the suppressed anger surged out again!
Seeing Princess Xiao's eyebrows raised up and filled with anger, Xie Wu couldn't help but laugh again. She said, "I've seen the iron-eating beast you mentioned... I've heard of it before."
In his previous life, Lu Zhan's man raised one in the garden. It looked so naive, but it could eat sixty or seventy kilograms of bamboo shoots a day. Every spring and winter, Lu Zhan would go around buying bamboo shoots for it and returning them to it.
It was named Gungun.
Although Lu Zhan always told him to roll away, it still clung to Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan even took it hunting with her in the countryside. It was then that she knew why it was called an iron-eating beast.
.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful the iron-eating beast is, it is still no match for the ruthless calculations of humans...
"Ah Wu, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Xie Wu's face suddenly turned gloomy, Xiao Muqing frowned and looked at her strangely.
Xie Wu shook her head, twitched the corner of her mouth, and then said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some unhappy things."
After hearing what Xie Wu said, Xiao Muqing smiled brightly and said, "What do you want to do with the unhappy things? If you have this free time, why not think about crispy roast duck... Speaking of which, why haven't they given me the roast duck yet?"
I’ll buy it back!”
Looking at Princess Xiao, whose face suddenly changed and she was waiting for food with a serious look on her face, the knots in Xie Wu's heart were instantly lifted.
Yes, what else do you want to do if you are unhappy?
Living in the present is the most important thing.,
At this moment, a little maid in the palace wearing a green armor hurriedly walked over. She saluted Xiao Muqing and said, "Princess, the roast duck you just bought has arrived. Do you want to eat it here or do you want to eat it here?"
…”
"Who wants to eat here? This person will put the roast duck in the Nuan Pavilion in the plum forest. By the way, let someone prepare some other food. Don't forget, there is also wine!" Princess Xiao ordered the maid neatly.
The little maid said 'yes', then bowed and walked away quickly.
Seeing the little maid's back disappear from her sight, Princess Xiao turned to Xie Wu with satisfaction and said, "Wu, let's go to Nuange to have a drink!"
"Okay!" Xie Wu smiled and nodded.
Zhennan Palace occupies a large area, and the pavilions, pavilions, gardens and pavilions are all in the southern style.
The Nuan Pavilion that Xiao Muqing was talking about is located in a plum grove. Although this plum grove is not as big as the Plum Garden in Wu'an Marquis Mansion, it is still sparse and sparse. In particular, there are two extremely rare green plum trees planted in it.
Seeing that Xie Wu's eyes lingered on the two green plums for a long time, Xiao Muqing explained, "These two green plums were bought by my father to make my mother happy. Unfortunately, these green plums were not picked up before."
When it bloomed, he went back to Yunnan."
"The princess also likes plum blossoms!" Xie Wu said with a smile.
Xiao Muqing nodded, then she let out another sigh, looked at Xie Wu and said, "You just said 'yeah', why, you also like plum blossoms?"
Xie Wu smiled and did not directly answer Xiao Muqing's words. Instead, she said, "We also have a plum forest at home, but it is full of red plums. If there is a chance, the princess can come to the mansion with the princess."
"Absolutely." Princess Xiao agreed cheerfully.
The two of them entered the Nuan Pavilion as they spoke.
The maids in the Zhennan Palace were very quick with their hands and feet. After a while, the table was filled with delicacies according to Princess Xiao's request, and there was also wine. However, Princess Xiao's face changed immediately after taking a sip.
"Didn't you tell me not to fool me with fruit wine?"
"Princess, you can drink strong wine, thank you girl? Can she drink? She is here as a guest in our house. What should we do if she gets drunk?" At this moment, a voice suddenly called Princess Xiao.
I took it over.
As soon as Xie Wu turned her head, she saw an older maid walking in with a few maids. Two of them were the eldest maids in front of Xie Wu - Miyue and Xianyue. Both of them had a little worry on their faces.
.
That nanny should have some influence in the palace, because after she said these words, although Princess Xiao had dissatisfaction on her face, she did not refute them verbally.
Seeing that Princess Xiao stopped talking, the nanny turned to look at Xie Wu and said, "Thank you, Miss. Princess, I'm naughty. Please be patient with her. By the way, I've also brought you your maid."
"Thank you, mama."
The nanny nodded and said, "In that case, the old slave will leave first. Princess Xie and Miss Xie please excuse me." After that, she calmly withdrew.
As soon as grandma left, Princess Xiao immediately came to life. She said, "Grandma Chang is my mother's wet nurse. She likes to keep a straight face most of the time! Fortunately, my mother left her here to take care of my brother.
Otherwise..." Having said this, Princess Xiao shuddered.
Xie Wu couldn't help but laugh again.
Even Mi Yue and Xianyue, who looked nervous when they just came in, also smiled.
They were staying in the small room next to the flower hall, but unexpectedly, they suddenly heard that their girl had been taken away by the princess of Zhennan Palace. They were so anxious that they were spinning in circles. Fortunately, the princess quickly sent Aunt Chang away.
Mom, come here.
They were originally worried that Princess Zhennan Wang would be harmful to their girls, but they did not expect that the princess would be such a cheerful and easy-going person.
Moreover, at present, the girl seems to be getting along well with the princess.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat meat and drink wine!" Xiao Muqing said, then reached out and pulled off a duck leg and handed it to Xie Wu.
Sure enough, this is Princess Xiao's usual style.
Xie Wu smiled, reached out to take the duck leg, and took a bite.
"Ah Wu, your temperament really suits me!" When Xiao Muqing saw this, his eyes were filled with stars.
She has followed King Zhennan like a little tail since she was a child, learning to ride horses and hunt with him, follow him in and out of the military camp, and follow him to drink and eat meat with the generals!
She likes such a carefree and free life, but unfortunately, her mother doesn't like it!
Her mother wants her to be a princess who behaves dignifiedly like a puppet. She can't do it, and her father can't do it even more!
Thinking of this, Princess Xiao couldn't help but sigh again. She looked at the roast duck in her hand, and finally decided to turn her grief into appetite, then opened her mouth and took a vicious bite of the duck meat.
Xie Wu smiled and was about to say something when a sound suddenly sounded outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer to Nuan Pavilion.
"It is said that during the Shu-Han Dynasty, Wei generals Zhong Hui and Deng Ai led the army into the Shu territory in ten groups. Jiang Wei, the leader of Shu, was defeated and retreated to the natural danger of Jianmen. At that time, the soldiers in Jiang Wei's camp were exhausted and could not fight anymore, and their horses were exhausted and could not be defended.
Riding. However, Wei General Zhong Hui tried his best to seize the pass and saw that Jianmen Pass was in danger. At this time, Dong Jue proposed a plan to Jiang Wei and ordered the people in Jianmen to grind and make tofu at home, reward the soldiers with tofu, and feed the army horses with bean dregs. A few days later
Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses recovered their physical strength, so he led his troops out of the pass and killed Zhong Hui directly. Deng Ai was defeated and fled... Tofu also became famous in Shu. This time the princess used Tofu to say that the soldiers of Yun and Shu were in trouble, and the method was very clever.
However, that old fox Fang Shoucheng of Tobe, whose face is as thick as the city wall, wants to impress him with just a few rumors and make him pay...Mu Bei, when did you become so naive?"
This voice...
Xie Wu's eyes darkened.
Princess Xiao, on the other hand, frowned again and again. Finally, she simply threw away the roast duck in her hand, stood up and walked to the door a few steps, then pulled the door open, and then said to the person speaking outside, "Then you can
