Before the Ninth Prince finished speaking, there was already a series of compliments.

"His Majesty's things are naturally excellent, and you can't find them outside with a lantern."

"It's true. I'm also a fun-loving person. I often make some rare birds to amuse me. I've seen many high-quality parrots. For example, Your Highness has never had one with a bright coat and a clear cry. It's really the only one in the world. gone."

"That is, this kind of top quality can only be trained by the most noble and leisurely people like His Highness."

Ninth Prince Wu Rui was so flattered by the compliment that he couldn't help showing off the parrot in his hand.

"Why don't you say that my parrot is good, and tell you the truth, this is the only one that will be picked out of thousands."

Everyone said: "But how do you pick this one out of thousands? Your Highness told us, and let us gain a lot of insight. Go out of this palace gate, tell those who don't know, and let them know it too. The wealth and honor of the royal family, we also have honor, otherwise people would say that we don't look like His Highness."

The Ninth Prince Wu Rui always likes to hear compliments, and when he was coaxed by everyone, he nodded his head very complacently, and said, "Okay, I'll let you learn a lot."

Then he said with great interest, "First of all, we need to select [-] parrots, check their coat color, claws, and listen to their calls, keep the good ones, and eliminate the bad ones. After this round, [-] parrots will be removed. Leave a thousand that stand out; feed these thousand carefully for a month, teach ten ancient poems, keep those who can learn it, and reject those who can't. This is the second round of screening, and there are only a hundred left; These hundred parrots are already very rare, and none of them are worth hundreds of taels of silver when sold in the bird market, but if you want to get the best parrots, you need to screen more carefully."

Everyone said: "Hey, this is amazing, how can we fine-tune the screening?"

The Ninth Prince said: "You don't know that. The top-notch parrots must not only have bright coats and loud voices, but also must have good eyesight, intelligence, superior stamina, and perfect body proportions. The selected one hundred parrots must have Specialized people use special rulers to measure the length of eyes, beaks, wings, and claws. It doesn’t matter if they are too fat or too thin. After this round of selection, it would be good if there are fifty left. Then they will be smarter than each other, and someone will teach them to recite. Poetry and prose, set up a ring to compete, and the one who learns the most in one day will be the top of the list."

One said with a smile: "Your Highness, this parrot must be the top of the list."

Wu Rui chuckled and tilted his neck slightly, which meant that there was no need to ask.

Everyone couldn't help sighing and complimenting again, talking about the Ninth Prince in a high spirited manner, almost grinning to the ears.Several honorable children surrounded a nine-year-old child and a parrot and tried their best to flatter him, which is really very backbone.

There is nothing worth making friends with such a group of people.

Zhaoyu pulled Daiyu and Wu Jun, raised her eyebrows slightly, and signaled them to leave.

The three of them had just turned their heads and hadn't gone out when they were seen by an honorable young man over there.Although he didn't recognize Daiyu and Wu Jun, he recognized Zhaoyu and shouted loudly: "Since His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince didn't come forward to say hello, how could Mr. Lin turn around and leave? Could it be that Mr. Lin didn't even teach me how to be respectful and orderly?" you?"

These words are powerful, not only bluntly saying that Zhaoyu disrespected the prince, but also Lin Ruhai.

Zhaoyu turned her head, arched her hands lightly and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, please forgive me. I have been very dizzy recently, and my ears are not very good. I only saw a group of people gathered in one place from a distance. Watching the monkey play tricks, I never thought it was His Royal Highness Ninth Prince and the other young masters, disrespectful and disrespectful."

"You!" The person who stopped Zhaoyu blushed immediately, pointing at Zhaoyu who was about to explode, the Ninth Prince shouted him back sharply.

The man was especially not angry, and when he looked back at the Ninth Prince's expression, he thought he was angry with him, so he didn't dare to say anything, he shrank his head and retreated behind the Ninth Prince, daring to be angry but not speaking.

The Ninth Prince's face changed, from yellow to white, but not angry, but frightened.For some reason, when he saw Zhaoyu and the others, he suddenly felt that his heart was being squeezed tightly. He couldn't help trembling and frightened. Well, it's better not to see them.

Daiyu stepped forward to bless Fu's body. When she got up, she turned her head and glanced at Wu Rui coldly. Seeing the extremely terrified expression in his pupils, she took two steps back in panic, stepped on a small stone, and nearly fell , was supported by a gentleman in brocade clothes who was slightly taller than him.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Young Master Jin Yi asked with concern, and the people beside him also looked at it with concern.

"No, it's nothing..." Wu Rui clenched his fists tightly, "I don't know, I suddenly feel dizzy."

A little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly supported his hand, and said: "Your Highness, let's go back to the bedroom and rest." Turning around, he said to another little eunuch, "Your Highness is not feeling well, I will help His Highness back first, Go quickly to the imperial doctor's bedchamber."

Wu Rui was about to leave when the maid in charge of the empress dowager came to Wu Jun, Daiyu and the others, telling them that there were fresh melons and fruits cut in the empress dowager's palace, and asked them to eat them.Seeing that Wu Rui was there, he said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, let's go together too. The Empress Dowager has been talking about you these few days, saying that you got a new parrot with a very clever tongue, who can recite ancient poems and sing operas. I have long wanted to see you." Woolen cloth."

Wu Rui had to force himself to go with the parrot.

Although the Empress Dowager is not the Holy Majesty's biological mother, her status is there anyway, as a junior, she still has the respect she should have.

When I came to the main hall, I saw that five or six kinds of melons and fruits had been cut.

The empress dowager sat at the head, the empress sat at the head of the empress, the concubine of Chu sat at the empress's head, and the rest of the concubines were gone.The elderly Queen Mother likes to be lively, and also likes to make out with the juniors. Among the juniors present, only Daiyu and Zhaoyu are three or four years old. It is fun to be ignorant, and they are born very well. Like a golden boy and a jade girl, the queen mother liked it when she saw it, beckoning and smiling to let them sit next to her, holding them in her arms from left to right and feeding them melons and fruits.

The Empress Dowager saw the parrot brought by Wu Rui early in the morning. After eating and clearing away, she ordered him to make the parrot read a few ancient poems, and asked: "I heard that your parrot can also sing opera."

Wu Rui, who was sitting on top of Zhaoyu, was in high tension all the time, but he didn't hear it. The queen mother asked again, and he said hurriedly: "Report to the emperor's grandmother, yes, can sing a few words."

At first she asked but didn't answer, and even though she answered, she stumbled and seemed to be disrespectful. The empress dowager felt a little displeased in her heart. Although her face didn't show it, her voice was a little cold, and she said with a faint smile: "What can you sing?" A play?"

Wu Rui replied: "Liu, Liu Erdang said a few words in his clothes." The political acumen soaked in the palace since he was a child allowed him to quickly react to the Queen Mother's preferences when he was nervous. The old man likes lively dramas. A lively drama.

The Empress Dowager's face softened slightly, and her smile became more or less sincere, and she said, "Then let's sing and listen."

Wu Rui said "yes", feeling a little complacent, thinking that this time he would definitely please the Queen Mother.

Then he was wrong.

He never expected that on such an important occasion, the parrot he was proud of would suddenly make such a big mistake.
