In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

The carriage was already prepared, which shows that they came prepared.

This time, however, Li Chengze did not call too many accompanying guards, just two simple carriages and two coachmen.

And then there's Xie Bi'an.

Li Chengze and Tao Jingyang stood side by side outside the mansion. Li Chengze nudged Tao Jingyang with his elbow, turned his head to look at her, and said:

"What are you doing? Why aren't you getting into your own carriage? Wait to ride with me!" Li Chengze, dressed in red, stood in stark contrast to Tao Jingyang, who was dressed in pale white.

Tao Jingyang looked at her speechlessly, then shook his head helplessly and resignedly climbed into the carriage.

But today's carriage seems slightly different.

Why are there suddenly some small notes and pens on this carriage? Is it so I can work on the carriage?

The key point is that no task has been assigned yet. No, even if a task had been assigned, it shouldn't be given to him to do.

Just as Tao Jingyang got into the carriage, and had barely sat down, an eagle flew in through the window.

"!?!" The eagle that rushed in startled Tao Jingyang. But the eagle was very polite; after entering, it found a place to stand and didn't fly around randomly.

Upon closer inspection, Tao Jingyang noticed a small message tube tied to the eagle's leg. He wondered, "Who in Kyoto could possibly be sending me a message?"

Besides... who uses an eagle as a carrier pigeon? It's a bird of prey!

Could it be Fan Xian? Why does this kid talk so much every day?

But then I thought about it and it didn't make sense. After all, Xie Bi'an outside wasn't blind. He should have been able to stop such a large "unidentified flying object".

I bet it was Li Chengze who posted it. I'm impressed, he managed to get people back to work in such a short time.

Tao Jingyang was cursing under his breath as he used his hands to detach the mini mailbox.

It's strange, really. This eagle was so obedient, letting people touch and rub it all they wanted, without getting angry or jumping around. Although it looked scary, it seemed quite intelligent.

[So cute, this little...big thing.]

This made Tao Jingyang unconsciously reach out and pet it a couple of times, and even feed it a grape, so he didn't check the little letter for a moment.

After teasing each other for a while, Tao Jingyang finally opened the letter, on which were written in small, bold characters:

"I am Li Chengze. I'm bored, so I'm just chatting."

After reading the words on the small envelope, Tao Jingyang felt that the world had gone mad.

"Li Chengze actually used such a well-trained and seemingly professional eagle to send such an incredibly boring message!?"

Being a prince must be great, I'm so jealous! (Just kidding)

But it seems like it really has a lot of fun!

I'll post one too.

He picked up his pen and began writing: "I am Tao Jingyang. Who trained your eagle? How come it's so obedient? Get me two more tomorrow."

After writing, he folded the letter, tied the letterbox back, and released the eagle.

Meanwhile, Li Chengze was waiting in the carriage for so long that the flowers were about to wither.

I was just about to ask Xie Bi'an to go check on the car behind to see if the person was asleep and why they hadn't replied yet.

Just as Xie Bi'an was about to resign himself to his fate and get into Tao Jingyang's carriage, he suddenly saw a large bird fly out of Tao Jingyang's carriage.

Before it could even flap its wings twice, it had already climbed back into Li Chengze's carriage.

Xie Bi'an suddenly realized that he and this eagle weren't that different anymore...

Li Chengze had heard the sound of an eagle flapping its wings long ago, and sure enough, it came in.

He quickly tore off the letter, happily opened it, and saw... good, good, the letter only mentioned eagles.

But he still replied to her: "It was a gift from someone before. It can not only deliver letters, but it's also very intelligent. I'll give it to you since you like it."

Seeing that she replied and played this "boring" little game with him, Li Chengze was still very happy, but he felt that giving her an eagle was not enough, and he wanted to give her something else.

Tao Jingyang, on the other side, was overjoyed when she saw that Li Chengze was going to give her the eagle.

But feeling awkward about accepting it directly, he wrote in the next letter:

"That would be so embarrassing."

Can I call it Little Eagle?

After opening the letter and reading its contents, Li Chengze's eyes lit up with a smile. He quickly assessed Tao Jingyang's preferences and wrote:

The name Little Eagle sounds nice.

Next time I'll get you an eagle; this one's a bit too small.

After finishing writing, he checked his handwriting to make sure it was neat and that there were no mistakes before having Xiao Ying deliver it.

A little while later, Tao Jingyang replied again:

"Thank you, Your Highness. The eagle will be called 'Little Eagle'." Li Chengze found it quite amusing to see that she had given another name with the character "Little" in it.

"How about I give you a pigeon?"

"Call him Little Pigeon."

"...What if I gave you a parrot?"

"Call him Little Witch."

"...Alright then."

After reading the message, Tao Jingyang didn't reply, as he was almost at his destination.
