I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 117 The Surprise Brought by Fatty Xiao

"What else is on your mind besides eating? Okay, your face isn't swollen anymore, get up now!"

Shangguan Yue was really impressed. How could someone not feel pain after taking a bite of food? It was really unheard of.

"Yes! I like delicious food the most. My mother said that being able to eat is a blessing!" The Ninth Prince was very proud that his mother loved him.

"This large plate contains all the new snacks I just developed, and I'm going to put them in Lan..." Forget it, Fatty Xiao doesn't know that Lanyue Pavilion is hers. Since he doesn't know, she's too lazy to tell him.

Otherwise, once she brought it up, Fatty Xiao would probably continue to ask her a hundred thousand questions, and she wouldn't have time to answer him.

Shangguan Yue opened the food box and brought it to the Ninth Prince. There were four or five kinds of snacks in it. They smelled delicious and had strange shapes. The Ninth Prince had never seen any of them before.

"Sister Yue'er, did you make this?" The Ninth Prince couldn't believe it. His sister Yue'er was so amazing! How could she make so many dishes?

She was like a fairy who came down to earth to bring him delicious food.

The ninth prince picked up a yellow thing wrapped in a little syrup and put it in his mouth. It was sweet, fragrant and milky. He chewed it again and felt crispy.

This is the food that Sister Yue'er stuffed into his mouth just now. It's so delicious!

"Sister Yue'er, what kind of food is this? I have never seen it before, and I have never eaten it before!"

The Ninth Prince couldn't wait to ask Shangguan Yue to introduce the names of these foods and what they were made of.

Shangguan Yue knew this would happen, and a hundred thousand questions came to her mind.

"What you just ate was popcorn, which is made from corn, that is, corn kernels, syrup and milk.

This is cat ears... knead the dough... cut into thin slices and bake until crispy. This is toasted steamed bread slices, spread these jams on them when eating.

This is the Smiling Date. There is no date inside. It is made of flour, sugar and sesame crisps and fried until it cracks open, so it is called the Smiling Date…”

She finally finished, exhausted.

"Sister Yue'er, can I take these back to the palace so that my mother can have a taste?"

He had agreed to come out to find new food! He also planned to go out and buy some food he had never seen in the palace to bring back, but he didn't expect that there were so many delicious foods now that he didn't even want to give them to his mother.

"If you like them, take them all back!" They're not valuable things, so since he likes them, just give them all to him.

"Really? How about I leave some for you?" The Ninth Prince wanted to take them all back, but he felt that it would be inappropriate to take them all without leaving any.

"No, it's not something very valuable. Just eat it if you like. I can make more if I want to eat it."

"Really? Sister Yue'er, you are so kind." The Ninth Prince hugged Shangguan Yue. He was reluctant to eat these delicious foods now!

If he couldn't stop eating once he started, he would quickly put the food back into the food box, cover it with the lid, and prepare to take it away later.

"Ninth Prince, come here for a moment. Where did you say this painting was yesterday?"

Shangguan Yue sat at the table on the other side and opened the three paintings from yesterday.

“Sister Yue’er, don’t call me the Ninth Prince. Call me Brother Yunteng! This won’t reveal my identity.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Just call Yun Teng brother…” Shangguan Yue felt that this way of addressing was so similar to the standard way of addressing Bai Lian in TV dramas.

But now, if you want to ask for help, you should learn from Bai Lian! She can sacrifice herself for the greater good and bend and stretch.

"Brother Yunteng, take a look, where are these three paintings?"

“Okay, let Brother Yunteng see this. This is the exterior of my father’s council hall, this is the exterior of the imperial study and its surroundings, and the last one is the imperial study.

Sister Yue'er, why are you painting these palace scenes? Eh? You don't seem to have been to the palace, how come you know the imperial study so well? "

"Brother Yun Teng, this is what I dreamed about a few days ago, and then I drew it. I didn't expect that it would actually appear in the dream!"

Shangguan Yue felt that there was no need to hide anything. Dreaming about the palace was not a secret that could not be told.

"Do you like the palace so much? If you really like it, you can marry into the palace and see it every day."

"What are you talking about! I will never marry into the palace. What's so good about the palace? It's like a big birdcage. I won't marry anyone. Even if I do, I will marry an ordinary person."

Shangguan Yue didn't want to get married at all, let alone marry into the imperial palace. What a waste! Who would be so desperate to marry into the imperial palace?

I don't know why he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Shangguan Yue say that she didn't want to marry a royal family. Is she really so opposed to marrying a royal family? If it's not good, then why are so many people fighting to marry into the royal family?

"Why? Isn't the palace good? The living quarters are good, the things to use are good, the food is good, and there are rights that ordinary people don't have. The only thing is that you can't leave the palace at will."

"I can't explain it to you clearly. You just need to tell me whether you are sure these three paintings are scenes from the imperial palace."

Shangguan Yue just wanted to confirm it, because the more she looked at the feather, the more familiar it seemed, and she was sure that she had seen this feather before.

"Sister, we have been looking for Zi Yanling for so many years but can't find any news. We haven't looked anywhere except in the Imperial Palace because the palace is so heavily guarded that not even a bird can fly over, let alone a group of birds like us."

Xiaolan and Xiaobai suddenly said something in her ear, which made Shangguan Yue suddenly realize and she remembered.

This feather is the bird feather that Feng Xi gave to Ning Zhenzhen in the first dream. What was it called? Yes, Purple Flame Feather. It is this feather. No wonder she always feels familiar with it and doesn’t know where she has seen it.

It seemed that the Purple Flame Feather required chanting a spell before it could be used. She had forgotten how to chant the spell in her dream, and even if she knew how to chant it, she wouldn't dare to.

If she was told to turn into a bird, she would be so scared that she hadn't lived long enough! How could she possibly turn into a bird?

Unless one can transform between human and bird at any time, that would be different. That wouldn't work. It would be too against the will of heaven. She would panic.

"Brother Yunteng, why did your father put a bird feather in the vase? It doesn't match the other flowers and branches?"

"I don't know either. This bird feather is very precious to my father. No one can touch it. It is said that it was a trophy when my father was hunting twenty or thirty years ago."

"What? Are you sure this was from 20 or 30 years ago? Does your father treasure this bird feather so much?"

"Yes! I heard that my father touches this feather almost every day and doesn't let anyone else touch it. In fact, I secretly told you, Yue'er, that the bird feather is a bit strange. It seems to glow when you touch it."

The Ninth Prince whispered in Shangguan Yue's ear that he thought it might be an illusion! It could also be that he was dazzled, because Eunuch Xiaojizi said he saw nothing but a dead bird feather.

Upon hearing the Ninth Prince's words, Shangguan Yue's pupils trembled. She was certain, even certain, that the Purple Flame Feather was the bird feather in the imperial study.

But the palace is heavily guarded, how can she take out the Purple Flame Feather?
