Chapter 340: The Prince and Daiyu Have a Dissension
When the prince hurriedly caught up with Daiyu, he found that she had already returned to Cuizhu Garden.
Daiyu walked into the house lightly, carefully took the lovely parrot off her shoulder, and put it in the cage.
Just then, the prince strode in.
Who could have expected that when the parrot saw the prince, it suddenly flapped its wings and rushed straight towards the prince.
It pecked at the prince with its sharp beak, and kept shouting:
“Bad thing…bad thing!”
Seeing this, Xiaoling and Xiaowan hurriedly picked up a handful of sunflower seeds and tried to lure the parrot back into the cage.
Daiyu slowly supported her bulging belly and sat down gracefully. Then she gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.
From beginning to end, she never raised her eyelids to look at the prince who was being attacked by the parrot.
The prince naturally knew that Daiyu must be angry at the moment.
So he calmly winked at the maids, signaling them to leave first.
After everyone left, the prince began to make various noises intentionally or unintentionally, trying to attract Daiyu's attention so that she would come to care for him.
The prince frantically chased the parrot away while shouting at the top of his voice:
"Yu'er, it hurts! It really hurts..."
But even so, Daiyu still sat at the table as steady as a rock, sipping tea leisurely, as if she was oblivious to the prince's howling.
The prince hurriedly grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and gently placed them in front of the parrot.
The parrot was originally chirping, shouting, and flapping its wings to bully the prince.
But when it saw the sunflower seeds in the prince's hand, it immediately quieted down and ate them with its little mouth.
Seeing this, the prince smiled slightly and put the parrot into the cage.
He turned around and slowly walked towards Daiyu.
At this time, Daiyu was sitting quietly at the table, staring blankly at the tea in her hand.
The prince mustered up the courage to walk over to Daiyu, gently took one of her hands, and said with a bit of embarrassment:
"Yu'er, can you say a few words to me?"
However, facing the prince's request, Daiyu just glanced at him indifferently, then put down the teacup in her hand and responded in a cold voice:
"say what?
Are we going to talk about those boring things like blowing eyelids or blowing wrists?"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, suddenly, a slight knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open and Xiaowan walked in with a plate of exquisite pastries.
She first bowed to the prince, then walked quickly to the table and placed the pastries steadily on the table.
After putting it away, Xiaowan nodded slightly at the prince, suggesting that he pass the pastries to Daiyu.
The prince understood what she meant and quickly reached out to pick up a piece of rose cake. He handed it to Daiyu with a smile on his face and said gently:
"Yu'er, this is your favorite rose cake, try it."
But Daiyu only glanced at the cake and said calmly:
"Your Highness, please leave quickly. Cailian will be here soon to ask you to visit Hongxuan.
If Hongxuan's condition worsens because of me, then it will be my fault."
When the prince heard Daiyu's words, his heart was shocked. He then realized that the old Taoist's words might have reached Daiyu's ears.
The prince really wanted to tell Daiyu that he and the first wife had only slept in the same bed, but had not performed the Zhougong ceremony.
I really want to tell Daiyu that every second she spent in the eldest lady’s room was torture!
He didn't touch the first wife at all!
But, but, why did it become like this today!
We finally met, but I didn't expect to be unable to say anything!
The prince slowly buried his head deeply in Daiyu's legs, which were covered with a Manchu dress, as if he wanted to hide all his fatigue in this tenderness.
However, an inexplicable feeling of disgust welled up in Daiyu's heart.
This man kept saying how deeply he loved me, but then he turned around and flirted with the eldest lady, hugging and kissing her. If I hadn't discovered all this today, I would have foolishly believed his lies!
The so-called love is nothing but the most illusory thing!
Before, she was just a concubine, but she was the prince's favorite.
Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help feeling sad.
At this moment, she suddenly reached out and pushed away the prince who was lying on her legs.
Facing the prince's astonished gaze, she stood up without hesitation, walked to the cage, gently opened the cage door, and let the parrot out.
As soon as the parrot was free, it flapped its wings happily and circled around the house.
Seeing this, Daiyu let out a clear and pleasant chirp.
As if summoned, the parrot stopped flying instantly, flew straight towards Daiyu, and landed steadily on her shoulder.
It held its head high and looked around the room proudly.
When the prince saw that Daiyu was very fond of the parrot, he had an idea and thought that maybe he could tease the parrot to make Daiyu smile.
So he quickly took some more sunflower seeds and carefully handed them to the parrot, with a flattering smile on his face, and said softly:
"Little thing, call Fu Jin Ji Xiang!"
However, what the prince never expected was that the parrot did not appreciate it at all.
It just turned its head away proudly, without even looking at the prince, and completely ignored the sunflower seeds in the prince's hand.
Daiyu's heart seemed to be burning with nameless anger, and the raging flames had nowhere to vent.
Her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and her gaze happened to fall on the parrot.
With just this casual glance, the parrot seemed to understand Daiyu's thoughts in an instant. It flapped its wings without hesitation and rushed straight towards the prince.
The parrot opened its sharp beak and pecked at the prince with all its strength.
In an instant, the prince felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked down and found a deep cut on his hand, with blood slowly oozing out.
At this time, Xiaowan and the others outside the house heard the shrill squeaking of the parrot coming from the inner room. They knew that the parrot must be being naughty and hurting people again.
So, several maids hurried into the house to check what was going on.
However, when Xiaoling and Xiaowan stepped into the room, they were shocked by the scene before them.
——Daiyu was seen sitting quietly by the side, her face as cold as ice, while the parrot was pecking at the prince's arm relentlessly, as if it had a deep hatred for the prince.
The maids hurriedly lured the parrot away and nodded at the prince, signaling him to coax Daiyu.
The prince closed the doors and windows, hurried to Daiyu's side, hugged her tightly from behind, and said softly:
"Yu'er, be good, you're not angry with me anymore, right?
I swear, I didn't touch the eldest lady with even a finger!"
Daiyu said expressionlessly:
"Really? You're blowing my eyes and wrists right in front of me. How can you be affectionate when there's no one around?"
The prince immediately stood aside, raised his finger and swore to the sky:
"I swear on the lives of all our family members that I will never let Lin Daiyu down!"
Daiyu didn't even raise her eyelids, but held her belly and slowly sat down on the chair, saying coldly:
"Your Majesty, you'd better leave quickly, it's almost night!
Hongxuan needs your Yang energy to stay healthy!"
