Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 73

"Yonger, darling, come to the godmother..." Liu Qingtang held a small rattle and shook it loudly, calling out his nickname to the smiling child not far away. .

Now in the court hall, the imposing and tough empress dowager didn't care about her image at all, she squatted there and let her long skirt drag on the ground, her face was soft and a bit annoyed, her tone was full of coax.

It's a pity that the child she called out like this, Xiao Le'an, the son of the pure prince, was completely unmoved. With a smile all over his face, he focused on looking at the colorful parrot standing next to Qin Shu's hand without turning his head.

Qin Shu held the parrot in his hand, and placed it in front of Xiao Le'an for him to touch. From time to time, he glanced at the empress dowager, who was squatting not far away, trying to attract Xiao Le'an's attention but got no response, with a look of extremely warm love in her eyes.

In fact, this parrot was originally found by Qin Shu to amuse Liu Qingtang, but Liu Qingtang seems to have no relationship with animals, whether it is a cat with green eyes and pure white hair that he found for her before, or an obedient and docile brown Puppies, even a pair of ordinary white rabbits, don't like to get close to Liu Qingtang. When they see her, they either run or hide, which makes Liu Qingtang extremely depressed.

This time, Qin Shu searched for a long time before finding this parrot, which is said to understand human speech and winks to please its owner. I hope it can please Liu Qingtang well.

But as soon as it was delivered to Liu Qingtang, the parrot fluttered its wings and flew to a distant branch to stand there, shaking its head and yelling "Scared me to death" vividly, causing Liu Qingtang to panic again. Angry and funny, he laughed and cursed: "Scare you to death!" Then he waved his hand at Qin Shu and said, "Qin Shu, send this little scumbag back who was almost scared to death by me."

"No return, no return! I'm not leaving!" Hearing Liu Qingtang's words, the parrot said to have human nature immediately shouted cleverly. The quacking sound made Liu Qingtang laugh, and addressed the parrot as if speaking to a person. He raised his eyebrows, "If you don't want to be sent away, just come here."

The parrot walked on the branch for a few steps, but in the end it still didn't fly to Liu Qingtang's outstretched hand, but landed on Qin Shu's hand who was closest to Liu Qingtang.Under Liu Qingtang's dissatisfied eyes, she buried her head under her wings and remained silent like a quail.Strange to say, as long as Liu Qingtang got closer, the bird would fly up as if frightened, and then Liu Qingtang threatened to send it away, and the bird would fly back and stand on top of Qin Shu, but never approached Liu Qingtang.

After tossing back and forth like this, Liu Qingtang understood that this little beast dared not approach her alone, if Qin Shu was there, he would stand on Qin Shu's hand and get closer to Liu Qingtang.If Qin Shu wasn't around, it would hide away, not even wanting to get any closer to Liu Qingtang.What's more, this little beast is reluctant to eat the food in Ci'an Palace, and the person who serves it to make it comfortable, for fear of offending Liu Qingtang and being sent away, every time he stays far away from Liu Qingtang , But good things are said in a basket.

What to say about the Empress Dowager's beauty and beauty is the most common thing. Every morning, I say, Empress Dowager, you are much younger and more beautiful this morning. I don't know how the previous people taught it. Sometimes this parrot is also a little bit fancy , what to say in a serious manner, my sweetheart, I love you the most.This silly bird is very funny, Liu Qingtang is always amused by it.

On the other hand, Qin Shu once heard it called Liu Qingtang as a sweetheart. Although his complexion did not change, he suddenly reached out and pulled out one of its red feathers. The second time he heard it say this to Liu Qingtang, the remaining two The red feathers were also plucked from it.This glib parrot has only three red feathers in total, and he usually cherishes them very much. After Qin Shu pulled them out, he hung his head and groaned for a long time.After that, the parrot never dared to call Liu Qingtang that way again, and for a long time, even Qin Shu didn't dare to stand on the hand, and only stood far away on the branch to admit his mistake.

The scene where the parrot admitted its mistake was also funny. Qin Shu stood under the tree with his hands tied and looked expressionless, while the parrot, which had been bred to become fatter and fatter like a chicken, squatted on the branch bent by it, repeating quackingly: "My lord, please forgive the little one. The little one knows his mistake." Qin Shu remained unmoved like a strict prison boss, and the fatter and fatter parrot just nodded and bowed to admit his mistake, and almost fell from the branch many times. down.Every time she watched such a scene, Liu Qingtang couldn't straighten up with laughter.

Since this parrot was really weird, it made Liu Qingtang a little more fun, so he kept it in Ci'an Palace.This time Xiao Le'an was summoned into the palace, and Liu Qingtang specially asked Qin Shu to bring the parrot she named 'Coward' to play with her godson.Originally having a good time, the young Xiao Le'an is also very interested in parrots.But Liu Qingtang watched for a while, seeing Qin Shu, his godson and that coward getting together, and felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

It's all to blame for that coward, who flew away when she saw her approaching, so that she couldn't get close to play with her godson. It's not fun to do it like this.

Liu Qingtang regretted letting her godson see that coward. Liu Qingtang, who had a temper like an isolated child, was sour for a while, and asked someone to take a lot of children's gadgets, and squatted not far away. He tried to attract Xiao Le'an's attention, and pulled him away from that nasty coward.However, after trying for a long time, it was obviously useless, which made Liu Qingtang more and more depressed, and almost squatted on the ground and beat the ground.

"Yonger, so yonger, come and see, the godmother has delicious food here..." Liu Qingtang gritted her teeth and glared at the coward who was laughing over there, drank a cup of tea to quench the fire, and let Zhuiyi take the Some snacks to fight again, coaxingly said unwillingly.She often took Qin Shu to Yang's house to visit Xiao Le'an. Xiao Le'an was a smart child. Although he didn't like to talk, he was born with a smiling face. Looking at Yuxue's cute and quiet temperament, Liu Qingtang loved her It's almost melted, and I keep giving him good things.

Qin Shu's love for Xiao Le'an is no less than Liu Qingtang's. The two of them watched Xiao Le'an grow up, they could not have children, they almost loved Xiao Le'an as their own child.If Liu Qingtang cared about ten points in Qin Shu's heart, Liu Guogong and other relatives and friends Liu Qingtang cared about six points, then Xiao Le'an cared about eight points.Of course, caring for them is also based on Liu Qingtang's caring for them.

No matter what, Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu are very close and love Xiao Le'an, and Xiao Le'an is also very close to Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu.But it's rare for this kid to show his closeness to others. He's still quite wicked at such a young age, and his favorite thing to do is to entertain his silly father's appetite.Liu Qingtang has seen countless times that this young child turned a blind eye to his father's clumsy flattery, and then kissed him on the face to comfort him when he was disappointed.

Poor Xiao Huai and the one who was finally trained by Yang Sushu to express some things, but was played around by his precocious child who was only three years old.But this is also good for him, at least every time when thinking about how to please his son, Xiao Huai and he understand more and more things, and their movements become more and more proficient.As for the fact that Xiao Huai always used the same method to please his wife before trying to please his son, I won't say much.

Probably because he is used to hanging his father's appetite, watching him change from anticipation to depression, Xiao Le'an often does the same to Liu Qingtang.It's just that he never did this to Yang Sushu and Qin Shu, which is also a strange thing.

At this moment, Qin Shu could see that this little godson was playing with Liu Qingtang's appetite again, and he deliberately didn't agree with her. Take a look at Liu Qingtang.

Qin Shu, who couldn't see Liu Qingtang being wronged in the slightest, did not go to help Liu Qingtang immediately, but waited for Liu Qingtang to give up on his own, and sat down on the beauty couch beside him angrily, Qin Shu was ready to go to comfort Liu Qingtang.He lifted the parrot in his hand and threw it away, regardless of the silly bird's efforts to flap its wings and try to fly up to avoid falling.Instructing Xiao Le'an to play by himself with his still gloomy but gentlest voice, he handed him a large plate of various medicinal materials and a book of herbal medicines with pictures.

Xiao Le'an's favorite game is to find the corresponding medicinal materials in the atlas. He can often play with this atlas and a bunch of medicinal materials for a whole day without getting tired.

Seeing Xiao Le'an pounced on the pile of medicinal materials and fresh herbs he had specially found, Qin Shu walked to the sullen Liu Qingtang, and called softly, "Qingtang."

They were in the small garden of Ci'an Palace, apart from sitting not far away making sewing clothes, there was not a single servant in the palace, so the three of them got along very casually in private.At this time, Liu Qingtang doesn't have the aggressive style outside, and she looks more and more like a spoiled little girl in her twenties. If things go wrong, she will sit on the side and get angry, and want Qin Shu to come over and coax her .Sometimes Qin Shu didn't notice or didn't notice on purpose, she would move in front of Qin Shu to look at the sky, look at the flowers and plants but not him, and then she would hum a few times to attract Qin Shu to look at him before giving up.

"Qingtang." Qin Shu put one hand on Liu Qingtang's shoulder and bent down to see her expression.

"What?" Liu Qingtang turned her head and glared at the cowardly parrot walking around like a fat chicken.

Seeing this, Qin Shu took her hand and placed a hairpin with red feathers on it. "This is done by 'Coward's' favorite feather."

Liu Qingtang's eyes lit up, she was no longer depressed, she shook the hairpin and then smiled.The coward has always been worried about the three red feathers that were pulled out by Qin Shu, and he often stands there sighing like a human being. When she wears this hairpin for the coward to see, he will be mad at that fat bird!

"Qin Shu, put it on for me, I'm going to piss that fat bird to death!" Liu Qingtang said this, Qin Shu had expected it a long time ago, took the hairpin and carefully inserted it in her hair.After looking at a certain place, he lowered his head and whispered in Liu Qingtang's ear with a flash of his eyes: "I let people make the coward fatter and fatter. After a while, it won't be able to fly, so Qingtang can hold it. I can't escape even if I'm afraid."

Hearing this, Liu Qingtang stared at the parrot who didn't know what was going to happen with a malicious smile, and kissed Qin Shu on the face. Liu Qingtang immediately waved in front of the coward so that he could see the hairpin.The coward really recognized his beloved feather, and immediately uttered a cry, hopped up and down on the ground, flapped his wings, and quacked: "Bad guy! Bad guy!"

Liu Qingtang laughed complacently at the coward's accusation, and when she turned her head and saw Qin Shu didn't know what she was looking at, she said again: "Qin Shu, what are you looking at?"

Qin Shu withdrew his eyes calmly, and said without a trace of strangeness: "I was just thinking, it's almost time for lunch."

He was just thinking about how the emperor must feel when he saw the scene just now.The sarcasm in Qin Shu's eyes disappeared in a flash, and when he turned to look at Liu Qingtang, his eyes were full of tenderness from the heart and an unclear possessive desire.

At this moment, Xiao Huaixu walked out of Ci'an Palace in a messy footstep, and he was shocked and angry in his heart. He never expected to encounter such a scene when he came to Ci'an Palace.The woman he once loved smiled so happily at an eunuch, and even kissed him actively. Their behavior was so intimate, it was almost... as if they had an affair.Maybe it's not like, it's just fact.Xiao Huaixu felt that it was extremely absurd, and then he was filled with sarcasm and unwillingness, what is this, he lost to a eunuch?A slave who doesn't even count as a man?

Xiao Huaixu tried his best to control it, so he didn't step forward on the spot and stabbed the damn servant to death with a sword, but left Ci'an Palace with a embarrassed face and a ruthless face.He didn't even pay attention to what was wrong with this matter. Ci'an Palace had always been firmly controlled by Qin Shu, so how could he accidentally bump into such a private scene.
