Chapter 2555: Situ Dieer
The Emperor smiled: "What’s wrong? Who dares to bully you in the Imperial Palace?"
Xiao Jiu nodded vigorously with its bird head and said, "Yes, yes, it’s that big-headed ghost, almost hit Xiao Jiu with a slap! Chirp chirp chirp...! So terrifying, so terrifying!"
While speaking, Xiao Jiu used its wings to gesture at the overturned table on the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby were dumbfounded. This little bird complained vividly and expressively, with communication skills on par with humans.
They expressed that whenever they saw the Emperor, their hands trembled and feet shook, but this bird spoke so fluently.
The Emperor listened and frowned, especially when he saw Situ Dieer; his brow furrowed even more tightly, looking quite displeased, and said: "Imperial Son, you’re about to go on an expedition, why aren’t you preparing properly at the mansion, and instead venting your anger at a bird here?"
Before the Third Prince could speak, Xiao Jiu fluttered and flew onto the Emperor’s palm, chattering: "It’s not the Third Prince’s fault, it’s the vixen spirit beside him causing trouble, she told the Third Prince to hit Xiao Jiu. The Third Prince has a human head and a pig brain, how can he listen to a woman’s words! Chirp chirp chirp...! So scared, scaring Xiao Jiu to death."
"Master, Master, hug hug!" Having said this, Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and flew back to perch on Xuexue’s shoulder.
Xuexue smirked and said, "Xiao Jiu, this lesson tells you that you can’t offend scoundrels and women."
Xiao Jiu nodded: "Understood, especially that woman, with a big-headed, brainless man, you definitely can’t offend, otherwise, you’ll be chased by that pig-like man."
"Pfft!" Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh out loud, immediately covering her mouth with her hand.
The Third Prince immediately glared at them angrily.
Situtu Qinger stood obediently to the side, not daring to make a sound.
After all, the Emperor was eyeing her like a tiger watching its prey.
Because of her status, the Emperor doesn’t like her at all. Situ Dieer is smart, and of course, she thought of this layer, so she tries to make herself appear more obedient, hoping to change the Emperor’s impression of her.
"Utter any more nonsense, and do you believe this Prince will kill you?" The Third Prince hated Xuexue and Xiao Jiu bitterly, even cursing them as pig-brains in front of his imperial father, truly outrageous.
Thus, he raised his fist, waving it at Xiao Jiu.
"Ah! Scared, scared, Emperor, help! Save me!" Xiao Jiu flitted over to the Emperor’s shoulder again.
This little bird, apart from being rude at the beginning, was now increasingly eloquent, and the Emperor was quite fond of it.
"How dare you, trying to commit violence in front of me?" The Emperor, unable to bear it anymore, shouted angrily at the Third Prince.
The Emperor was furious; the Third Prince was startled and quickly knelt on the ground: "Imperial father, calm your anger, your son knows his mistake."
The Emperor glanced at Situ Dieer, the more he looked at this woman, the less he liked her. Her lowly status and her foolish desire to become the Third Princess Consort are unacceptable. The Third Prince grew up on the mountain, inexperienced, and just after coming down the mountain, he encountered this woman; it’s understandable that he was temporarily deceived.
The Emperor took a deep breath and said: "Alright, the Imperial Son will go on an expedition in a few days, return to the mansion and rest early!"
"But...!" The Third Prince glanced at Situ Dieer, unable to rest assured on the expedition until he had settled his beloved woman.
The Emperor: "Everything will be discussed once the Imperial Son returns triumphant."
The Emperor saw the Third Prince’s thoughts clearly; it seems this woman is not simple, she’s got the Third Prince bewitched to such a degree that he listens to her on everything. It looks like a strategy is needed to make this woman obediently stay away from the Third Prince.
