Yung Heng's temperament had changed.
In the past, he would try his best to spend time with Song Yuan. If it had been before that incident, he would have shamelessly followed them to dinner today.
Now, he seemed to have returned to being the emperor who had everything under his control.
After Rong Ting and Song Yuan left, he went to the hotel's restaurant to have a simple dinner. After returning to his room, he picked up a book he had bought from the book bar and read it carefully. It was not until someone knocked on the door that he raised his head and got up to open the door. The person standing at the door was Sun Qiming. Sun Qiming was carrying a cage and said as if he was presenting a treasure, "Boss, someone bought a parrot yesterday. I saw that Rong Ting seemed to like it very much, so I went to the flower and bird market today. There are parrots, but they are not rare. I saw that this bird is very beautiful, so I bought it back for Rong Ting to play with."
The bird in the cage was indeed very beautiful. Yung Heng also lowered his head to take a look.
Sun Qiming was really worried about his boss's feelings. Since he wanted to take the indirect route to save the country, he had to serve the young master well. What was the point of just bringing him food? The child did not remember those things, so it was better to cater to his interests. If it were not for the fact that he was not sure if Miss Song wanted to raise a dog, he would have gone to the pet shop to get a puppy or a kitten for Rong Ting.
His boss was a rich second-generation heir who was not very good at chasing girls. What he needed to chase girls was a reciprocal relationship. If he gave a pet to Rong Ting, he would have an excellent reason to keep in touch.
It was troublesome to raise a cat and a dog. Raising a bird would be a lot easier. He believed that Miss Song would like it too.
"Rong Ting went back," Yung Heng said in a flat tone.
Sun Qiming was a little disappointed, but he still said, "Boss, you can give this sparrow to Rong Ting. Children are lonely at home. If he doesn't like this sparrow, I'll find another one for him next time."
"Boss, next time you can ask Miss Song if she has any intention of raising a cat or a dog. I know a friend whose dog also gave birth to a puppy. He even said that he would give me a dog. It's a little Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are docile. "
It was unclear whether Yung Heng had taken her words to heart, but he still looked at the bird in the cage and said, "Give it to me."
Sun Qiming hurriedly passed the cage to him.
Yung Heng took the cage and walked into the room. Sun Qiming saw that he didn't close the door and didn't ask him to leave. Sun Qiming followed him in, thinking that his boss must have something to tell him.
"Tell me," Yung Heng sat in front of his desk and looked at the cage he had placed on the table. He said in a low voice, "Do you think it wants to stay in this cage, or is it willing to fly away?"
This question stumped Sun Qiming.
He wasn't this bird, so how could he know what it was thinking?
However, he definitely had to answer his boss's question. He thought for a moment and said, "This kind of sparrow is very easy to domesticate. Once it gets used to being domesticated, it will die if it flies away."
Rong Ting smiled. "Is that so?"
Once, during an argument, she had said that the palace was just a cage to her, a cage that locked her up, and he was the one who tried to domesticate her.
He didn't understand why she would say that. He had clearly offered all his sincerity. During this time, even if he covered his ears and closed his eyes, he could still feel what the world she lived in meant to her, and how depressed she had been in the ancient times.
In the middle of the night, Yung Heng couldn't sleep. In fact, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
He thought of many things. He thought of his first encounter with her, and he thought of the words she had said that he believed to be disgraceful.
She must have been very unhappy in the following years in the palace.
He simply got out of bed and looked at the bird in the cage under the moonlight. He suddenly understood something. He walked to the table, took the cage to the window, and opened the cage.
***
The next day, Song Yuan heard from the owners' group that the supermarket was having an event. Early in the morning, she took two or three eco-friendly shopping bags and left with Rong Ting.
Just as she walked out of the neighborhood, she saw Yung Heng get out of the car and walk over.
Song Yuan didn't find it strange. He had always been a straightforward person. Thinking about it carefully, he had probably thought about it for a long time before coming up with those coincidental encounters.
"Where are we going?" Yung Heng looked at Rong Ting and asked.
Rong Ting was very unusual today. He didn't take the initiative to call out to him when he saw him, and he didn't answer his question at all.
This was very rare. Song Yuan was shocked. Her son used to be a big fan of Yung Heng, who always talked about his father, the emperor, and who was careful with his words.
It seemed that Rong Ting had some conflict with his idol, the emperor, without her knowledge.
However, she didn't intend to get involved in this matter between father and son. Yung Heng was so smart, he definitely knew how to deal with this kind of conflict.
"Let's go to the supermarket to make a big purchase." Song Yuan didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she took the initiative to say, "There's an event today. A lot of things are on sale and there's a lucky draw. A big sister in Block 12 won an electric rice cooker. I want to try my luck too."
Actually, she didn't lack an electric rice cooker … but she couldn't help but join in the fun when she heard about the lucky draw.
"That's good. Since it's a big purchase, you must be short of porters. "Yung Heng volunteered," I'll help you carry things. "
Song Yuan felt that she and Yung Heng had already talked things out, and Rong Ting was still here. She didn't want to embarrass Yung Heng, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The three of them walked in the direction of the supermarket.
Today was a workday, and there weren't many people in the supermarket at this time. However, compared to a few days ago, it was already very lively.
Song Yuan pushed a shopping cart, and Yung Heng and Rong Ting followed behind her. They squeezed through a group of aunties, and the aunties' voices were very loud. Yung Heng was originally very calm, but ever since he was pushed by an aunty, his expression became very ugly, and he unceremoniously emitted a low pressure. If it were his ministers beside him, they would all be scared and wouldn't dare to make a sound. However, the aunties couldn't be bothered to care so much. They squeezed and pushed as they should …
Rong Ting was already used to this kind of situation. He was like a little loach, scuttling through the aunties and aunties, and he wasn't affected at all.
Song Yuan bought a lot of things. Just Rong Ting's Yakult alone, she bought four or five boards, not to mention pork ribs and other things.
Yung Heng stood a little further away, and his eyes were quiet and affectionate as he looked at her.
She was carefully selecting sweet peppers, frowning as she compared them. Her whole body was full of smoke and fire, and she had a gentleness that she didn't even know she had.
"Today's sweet pepper fried beef fillet, okay?" Song Yuan felt Yung Heng's gaze. She raised her head, and their eyes met. His gaze was very strange to her. She couldn't figure it out, so she lowered her head to ask Rong Ting, who was standing beside her.
"Okay, I don't want to eat green peppers. Mother, don't exchange a raccoon for a crown prince. Change the green peppers to sweet peppers."
"Is this how you use a raccoon for a crown prince?"
"I think it's okay."
Song Yuan laughed. "Nonsense. I won't force you if you don't like to eat green peppers, but you still have to eat vegetables."
Rong Ting was good at everything, but he didn't like to eat vegetables. He had his own set of theories. To him, vegetables were no different from grass. He wasn't raised by cows, so why should he eat grass?
"You have to eat meat and vegetables. Don't tell me you want to get sick and get an injection?"
When it came to injections, Rong Ting, the iron-willed little straight man, was terrified. He could only reluctantly nod his head and agree.
Song Yuan was also scaring Rong Ting. She used to have a classmate who didn't like to eat vegetables. He ate beef for every meal. His body was very healthy, and everything he ate tasted good. After being classmates for so many years, she had never seen him get sick. Of course, this example couldn't be told to Gugu. If she told him, he would have more reasons to not eat vegetables.
Today, Song Yuan came to the supermarket to buy vegetables and fruits.
When she was about to go to the fruit section, Yung Heng came to her side, put his hands on the shopping cart, and whispered, "Let me push it."
Song Yuan didn't object. She led Rong Ting to the fruit section.
She was very surprised to find that there were very good durians in the supermarket today. She said in a light tone, "This durian looks very good. It's exploded. It must be very ripe and very sweet."
Before she went to university, she didn't like to eat durians. She would deliberately go around the supermarket. When she was young, her cousin once gave her durian candy. The taste was really … Later, when she went to university, she had a roommate who especially liked to eat durians. That time, her roommate bought a frozen durian and brought it to the dormitory to share a piece with her. She was embarrassed to refuse. She was a little curious when she saw that her roommate liked to eat durians so much. She tried a bite, and the door to a new world opened.
She had bought a durian before, but Rong Ting threw it away the day after she bought it.
When she asked him, he said that it was spoiled and smelly. Of course, he had to throw it away quickly.
Later, she wanted to let him try it, but he made an expression as if he was going to vomit …
Thus, she could only give up. She rarely bought durians anymore. Even if she did buy one, she would eat it outside before going back home.
Rong Ting had forgotten what durians were. He followed his father to her side. Coincidentally, someone was opening a durian. At that moment, the smell made Yung Heng and Rong Ting subconsciously take two steps back.
Song Yuan often ate durians, so she could tell which one was good and which one was bad. Today, the supermarket was having a promotion, so the price of durians was very good. She could even try it. She took a small bite and felt that it was very sweet. Then, she turned around and asked Rong Ting to come over and try it.
Rong Ting waved his hand and exaggeratedly pinched his nose. "I'm not eating it. It's poisonous."
Yung Heng wanted to try it and get closer to her. Unfortunately, his body was more honest. His feet were like superglue and didn't move at all. Obviously, he agreed with his son's point of view.
Song Yuan snorted. "Forget it if you don't want to eat it. I'll buy it and eat it alone!"
Rong Ting instantly remembered the fear of being dominated by the smell of durians. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even if this piece of durian was put in plastic wrap, the fridge would be filled with this smell. It would make people want to avoid it.
His bun face was full of despair. "Why is Imperial Mother like this?" quot;
