Chapter 336 Birds
Chapter 336 Birds
The sky is clear and the clouds are floating, the autumn wind is refreshing, the voices of people are not noisy, and an atmosphere of tranquility and peace spreads.
Qingxue and Meihua supported Fu Mengli and walked slowly.
There were guards on all sides around the tent to provide protection. Although they were outside the palace, there were palace maids and eunuchs serving them, so they did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For Fu Mengli, the leisurely and quiet atmosphere at this time made her feel quite comfortable, but Meihua felt dull and boring.
After Concubine Xian left the palace, she lived no differently from when she was in it, staying in her tent all day long.
"Your Highness, these days, other ladies have been asking His Majesty for this skin or that skin. Don't you want to join in the fun?"
Meihua found a random topic and spoke.
Fu Mengli said quietly, "I am not interested in these skins that have been peeled off alive, and I am pregnant now, so you are not thinking at all."
"It is said that pregnant women cannot see strange birds and beasts, wield weapons, or shoot living things. If I were not worried about Mingzhang's first hunting trip with His Majesty, and His Majesty did not intend to make special arrangements for me, I would not want to come."
Fu Mengli frowned, pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Oh! It's all my fault that after hearing the story of Lady Lan, I forgot to remember the etiquette during pregnancy and spoke rashly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
With a smile in her plum blossom eyes, she squatted and saluted.
"Excuse me, tell me what new things she has done."
Fu Mengli gently extended his hand in front of Meihua. Meihua immediately stood up, holding Fu Mengli's hand, pacing and talking.
"Lady Lan asked His Majesty to send someone to catch several hundred brightly colored birds for her, saying that she wanted to take them to the Shangyi Bureau to make a colorful feather skirt.
I secretly went to see the birds that were shot down. Although they were dead, their feathers were all shining brightly, and the color was different in every direction you looked.
I wonder how stunning this feather skirt will look when it is made.”
When talking about those beautiful birds, Plum Blossoms' eyes sparkled and their voices were full of longing.
"What's new about this?"
Fu Mengli stretched out her index finger and pushed the plum blossom with disgust.
"Please stop being so envious. You are drooling. Fortunately, you don't have the key to our Yutang Palace's storehouse. Otherwise, I would be worried that you would go to the storehouse to sleep every night."
The plum blossom chuckled.
"But... the birds that were shot down? By the time the feathers reach the Clothing Bureau, they will have faded, so it's a waste of effort."
Fu Mengli muttered.
"Your Majesty, you said that Concubine Lan is pregnant. She is killing so many people for a skirt. Will it be harmful to the succession of the emperor?"
"Why do you care about her? Just take good care of me and the princess in my belly. If someone hears you saying this, and if she has any accidents during childbirth, they will blame you for cursing the heir, and I won't be able to save you at all."
Fu Mengli brushed away Meihua's hand and warned.
"Your Majesty is right. Whether Lady Lan has reservations or not is her business. Meihua, how can you not have any reservations when you speak? Don't let your Majesty get in trouble."
Qingxue slapped Meihua on the head.
"Oh, I got it."
Meihua sighed and nodded dejectedly.
"It's getting dark, your majesty and Mingzhang will be back soon, let's go back, I'm hungry."
"Yes, ma'am."
