Bird Raiders

The first cold war between Yi Xuan and Jin Yu in more than ten years made the whole prime minister's mansion tremble. Ah Ting stayed in his tree hole and listened to Ah Ning flying to tell him the new news in his bedroom.

"How about it?"

Aning shook his head, "It's not that good, Daddy ignores Mother, and Mother ignores Daddy."

But Ah Ting didn't worry too much, he could bet a hundred crystal worms, and his father would definitely coax his mother before the evening.

Then he discovered an unexpected benefit, that is, his father has no time to take care of him now, so he can go out to find the seventh prince.

When he arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the prince was preparing to have lunch. There were very few servants in the prince's house, and there was only one servant who he had seen several times waiting at the door. When the servant saw him approaching, he bowed and said, "Mr. Yi Please come in."

With that tone and expression, it seemed that he was sure he would come.

The prince is sitting alone at the table, there is no window in the room, only the narrow daylight coming in from the door, the rest of the place is like night, Ah Ting feels that he can only see the faint golden thread on the prince's robe in the whole room, Ah Ting doesn't like it In the dark, he asked: "My lord, can I open the window?"

The prince paused with his chopsticks, and Ah Ting begged again: "My lord, wouldn't it be better to make the room brighter?"

The prince didn't say anything, so Ah Ting took it as a tacit consent.

Crash, clatter, it was the sound of the wooden window being opened. In an instant, light came in from all sides, fine dust was flying in the air, and the whole room became much wider.

The prince got used to it for a while, and then continued to eat. Ah Ting sat next to the prince, looked at it, and smelled it in surprise: "My lord, why are you only vegetarian?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

With both hands on the table, Ah Ting asked, "My lord, can I have lunch with you?"

"My lord, there are no bugs here."

"I don't eat bugs, I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat anything."

"There are no extra bowls and chopsticks."

Ah Ting pouted, sitting at the table pitifully watching the prince eat, the prince had no intention of entertaining him at all, obviously heard Ah Ting's stomach grumbling several times, but still continued to eat slowly and calmly.

Still the attendant came in and brought up two dishes. Ah Ting could smell the aroma from a distance and swallowed.

"I don't know what you like to eat, I hope you will forgive me for not entertaining you."

A plate of lotus seeds and horseshoe soup, and a plate of eggplant-flavored Sixi balls.

Ah Ting quickly got up and thanked the attendant, who handed over the bowl and chopsticks, "Last time you helped the prince heal his wounds, and the prince kept saying that he would like to thank you very much, so you don't have to be polite."

Ah Ting nodded repeatedly while holding the bowl and chopsticks, not noticing the gloomy expression of the prince and the slightly stiff smile of the attendant.

The attendant walked out, Ah Ting said to the prince shyly: "Your highness, you don't need to thank me, friends should help each other."

The prince put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Are you so greedy?"

Ah Ting immediately sat up straight, "I'm not greedy."

As he spoke, he still stared at the Sixi meatballs on the plate.

"Why did you come today?" the prince asked him, "Is there no food for you in the prime minister's residence?"

"My lord is always alone, I want to come and accompany you."

The prince didn't look at him, but said softly, "Fool."

Ah Ting's chopsticks had already touched the Sixi meatballs, his eyes were shining brightly, and he bit his lower lip and tried hard to pick them up.

The prince pushed the bowls and chopsticks, and pulled A Ting's arm, "Their cooking is not delicious, let's go, I will take you out to eat."

The attendant at the door came in and called out anxiously, "My lord", but the lord ignored him and said, "The dishes are so salty, where did you find the cook?"
