Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"San'er?"

Shu Jiao glanced back at the parrot perched on her shoulder; she recognized its familiar color at a glance. "Why did you come out?"

"Look at what my host sister is saying~"

San'er shook his head. "Why can't I come out?"

It's just a matter of spending some points, isn't it?

It just won a few big hands, it has it!

Shu Jiao raised her hand and stroked its feathers. They were quite smooth, and you could tell from the bird that it was well-fed.

"alright."

Shu Jiao chose to let it go, saying, "Don't squat on my shoulder to poop."

003: ...

"Host, you really don't trust me at all."

Would it do something so tasteless?

Shu Jiao just smiled and didn't respond.

Emperor Jiaheng and Sun Wenzhong also glanced at the parrot, but at first they didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was just someone's pet that had escaped.

After watching the Qiu family's grand spectacle, the group slowly climbed down the wall and returned to the palace.

Seeing that the parrot hadn't flown away, Emperor Jiaheng was somewhat surprised and reached out to tease it.

As soon as she reached out, San'er flew onto Shu Jiao's other shoulder.

"This parrot is quite intelligent."

Emperor Jiaheng wasn't angry. He smiled and asked, "You raised it?"

"Ah."

Shu Jiao responded softly and nodded, "Its name is San'er."

"No wonder, it has recognized its master."

A hint of appreciation appeared in Emperor Jiaheng's eyes. "San'er? You've raised many more?"

"Just this one."

Perhaps recalling what happened before, Shu Jiao's eyes curved slightly, "If you raise too many, it will get jealous."

"Jealous, jealous."

San'er replied in a high-pitched voice.

Ok?

It can even talk.

Emperor Jiaheng and Sun Wenzhong looked at 003 with some surprise. After a while, Emperor Jiaheng suddenly said, "Long live the Emperor."

Sun Wenzhong: ...

Shu Jiao: ???

003: I'll admit defeat if I even glance at you.

003 lowered his head and lightly pecked at Shu Jiao's clothes intermittently.

A gust of wind swept by, carrying withered leaves.

An awkward silence hung in the air.

"This parrot looks intelligent."

Emperor Jiaheng didn't feel embarrassed. He clicked his tongue twice, said nothing more, and strolled back to the palace to sleep.

He soon regretted it.

It was a sunny afternoon.

As Emperor Jiaheng sat on the couch, listening to Shu Jiao and 003, one person and one bird, gossiping back and forth, he truly regretted his actions.

He wants to raise one too!!!

"Oh dear~ Your Majesty, you don't know, Yuan Shu's son isn't his biological son!"

Shu Jiao's words piqued Emperor Jiaheng's interest: "I remember, Yuan Shu only has one son, and he is the legitimate son born to his principal wife?"

"Correct."

003 nodded his parrot head, "But this son isn't his."

"However, Yuan Shu's wife did not have an affair with anyone else."

Shu Jiao then added.

Emperor Jiaheng: ?

"Then why isn't this son Yuan Shu's? The child was born in the Yuan residence, with so many servants and attendants. Surely nothing untoward should have happened?"

Emperor Jiaheng was puzzled.

Sun Wenzhong had a sudden thought, "Could the child have died?"

Left with no other choice, they had to find another child to replace the first.

"That's not it."

Shu Jiao shook her head slightly, "The child is alive and well. It's just that Yuan Shu's wife gave birth to a girl."

“Yuan Shu already had few children. His wife had been in the household for many years, but there had been no infants. His parents were also urging him to have children, constantly saying that the Yuan family line must not end.”

"Ah——~"

As soon as Shu Jiao finished speaking, 003 called out, "If I give birth to a daughter, my mother-in-law will definitely blame me."

“If I give birth to a daughter, my husband will surely take more concubines.”

"If I give birth to a daughter..."

003 used a bird-like voice to imitate Madam Yuan Shu's inner thoughts.

Emperor Jiaheng was shocked to hear this.

No.

Isn't this parrot a little too smart?

"Therefore, she claimed to the outside world that she had given birth to a son and that she personally took care of herself during her postpartum period without entrusting it to anyone else. In addition, the midwife and the servants who served in the room were all her people, so this matter was kept secret."

Shu Jiao then explained.

But this kind of thing can be kept secret for a while, but not forever.

What should we do next?

We can't keep this child from being seen by others forever, can we?

A lie told in a moment of folly requires more lies to cover it up.

Left with no other choice, Yuan Shu's wife brought over an abandoned orphan, claiming it to be her son. She then sent her own child back to her parents' home, claiming it was born to her elder brother's concubine.

With this back and forth, the matter was temporarily covered up.

"Right now, Yuan Shu is thinking about finding a good marriage for his son,"

Shu Jiao chuckled lightly with a hint of mockery, "But Madam Yuan Shu disagreed and insisted that her son marry the illegitimate daughter of her eldest brother. The couple, who were originally quite harmonious, argued about this for more than half a month."

Wait a minute~

Let's sort this out!

Emperor Jiaheng's mind raced, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "That's quite a plan."

He gave his biological daughter away to someone else, brought back a bastard child, and then made the bastard child marry his own daughter.

Talent.

The capital is teeming with talented people!

"Her biological daughter is now an illegitimate daughter."

Sun Wenzhong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although the Yuan family has declined somewhat, it is still considered a prestigious family. Marrying a child from the maternal clan is not a problem, but a concubine's daughter is not an option."

It's not that they disliked the illegitimate daughter.

The marriage between two families is a union of equal social standing.

The chances of this illegitimate daughter becoming the mistress of a prestigious family are extremely slim.

Yuan Shusong said that he would let that illegitimate daughter become a concubine and enter the family.

Shu Jiao smiled slightly, "But she doesn't agree and insists on having her daughter as the legal wife."

"Um……"

Emperor Jiaheng pondered for a moment, "She's dreaming."

The old couple from the Yuan family are still alive, so she may not be able to make the decision about this marriage.

Furthermore, this whole thing is just outrageous!

"Yes, yes."

003 nodded in agreement, "How is that possible?"

"People can be stupid in all sorts of ways."

Emperor Jiaheng sighed, "She is shrewd, but not shrewd enough."

"It's just stupid."

003 complained, "A fool who only thinks he's a smart person."

"That's it."

Emperor Jiaheng wholeheartedly agreed, "This kind of talent is hard to deal with. You never know what she might do next."

"Bad people are much easier to deal with than stupid people."

003 said.

These two were exchanging words, and they even started talking back and forth.

Emperor Jiaheng lowered his eyes to look at 003 on Shu Jiao's shoulder, and the more he looked, the more tempted he became. "San'er, why don't you come with me? I'll find people to serve you, build you a big garden, and give you gold."

He felt that San'er would definitely be able to understand what he was saying.

This parrot is so smart!

"Caw caw caw—bird kidnapping! Bird kidnapping! There are bird traffickers here..."

003 started barking, pressing her little head against Shu Jiao's face, "I will always be best friends with my sister."

Jiahengdi tried to lure it away a few more times, but in the end, 003 pooped on the folding paper.

He calmed down.

I wonder what the minister who submitted the memorial is thinking.

When Shu Jiao had nothing to do, she would go out of the palace to gather gossip, taking 003 with her. 003 even had a small gold medal bestowed upon her by Emperor Jiaheng hanging around her neck.

Life was incredibly enjoyable.
