Chapter 738: Red squirrel

"Return to the Empress Empress, the director of the Royal Animal Pavilion went out of the palace yesterday because of something. Would you like to come in with the Empress Empress and take a look?"
After listening to Du Xuechun's coming, the two guards looked at each other. One of the guards who was standing on the right nodded eagerly, and walked to Du Xuechun and said.
"Okay, it's time to work!"
Du Xuechun didn't think too much, smiled and nodded, and then led Mingying with the imperial guard into the gate of Yuju Pavilion. As soon as they stepped into the gate of Yuju Pavilion, Du Xuechun and Mingying saw them on both sides. There are many large and small iron cages.
Some iron cages are covered with black cloth, and some iron cages are not covered. You can clearly see the animals enclosed in them, including monkeys, elk, and roe deer.
All kinds of animals are locked here. Just when Du Xuechun and Mingying walked to the largest place, in front of the iron cage covered with black cloth, suddenly there was a huge howl from inside, listening to that The sound turned out to be the cry of a tiger.
Du Xuechun couldn't help but stopped, walked to the cage, and turned to the guards beside him and said, "Is it a Siberian tiger?"
"Return to the Queen Mother, this cage is indeed a tiger, but it is not a Siberian tiger, but a South China tiger. Listening to the people below, it was only a few days ago that the tribute was paid, and it has not had time to be locked in the domestication room.
Since several domestication rooms were full, he could only put this big guy in a cage and put it outside. I don't know if the empress wants to take a look, I heard people say that the appearance of this South China tiger is very beautiful. "
Seeing that Du Xuechun seemed to be particularly interested in the tiger in the cage, the guard guard hurried forward and flattered Du Xuechun.
"No, next time, I will be out late today. Time is tight. I have to go to Fengyang Hall later. I won't delay these time. You quickly take me to the small animal cage. , I can choose a suitable animal to give to Princess Heya."
Du Xuechun looked through the lower end of the cage that was not covered by black cloth and saw that the tiger in the cage seemed to have heard the voice of a person. He seemed extremely excited. He kept spinning around the edge of the cage, with a tendency to come out.
Although Du Xuechun also wanted to see what this South China tiger looked like, but when he thought that Heya might be crying in Fengyang Palace now, Sapo was rolling, Du Xuechun couldn't help feeling tight and quickly rejected the ban. The kindness of the guards.
"Good queen empress, but there are too many animals in the Royal Beast Pavilion. I don't know what kind of animal you want. Only if you make it clear, the Weichen will let you choose."
Seeing that Du Xuechun was indeed looking at Du Xuechun, the guard was very anxious, so he couldn't help but followed him and immediately asked. If you are looking at the Queen’s Empress in the Royal Beast Pavilion, but the Royal Beast Pavilion is so big and there are so many animals, when will you find it!
Du Xuechun listened to the imperial guard's words and couldn't help but think about this...what kind of animal should I choose? Du Xuechun thought for a long time, but still did not come up with a good answer.
Du Xuechun looked at Mingying, and the two of them faced each other with a blank expression, not knowing what to do.
"Niang, how about you choose a smaller, agile and non-aggressive animal for Princess Heya?" The guards on the side looked at Du Xuechun and Mingying so entangled and hurriedly bowed flatteringly. Proposed.
"Do you have any good suggestions, let's talk about it." Du Xuechun had no idea for a while, after all, she didn't know this very well, so she had to look at the guards and ask.
"Niang, a few squirrels with red fur have just been tributed a few days ago. They are very beautiful, and the red squirrels are very lively, eat little, and have extremely strong vitality. In addition, the workers who raised it have already cut it. Nails will never hurt people. Playing with Princess Ya is the best choice."
The guard tightened his lips, thought about it, and suddenly spoke with excitement.
"Oh? Really? Then take us to see!" Du Xuechun couldn't help but cheer up in Du Xuechun's heart because of the words of the Guardsman. She went to see.
"Okay, Empress Empress, please come with Weichen."
The guard nodded eagerly, and led Du Xuechun and Mingying to the small alley on the left. They came to a beehive-like wooden box, and saw that the guard opened one of them. From a wooden box, a squirrel with red fur was taken out and presented to Du Xuechun.
Du Xuechun wanted to raise his hand to touch the red-haired squirrel, but she didn't dare to come close, for fear that the red-haired squirrel would bite people. After all, the origin of this thing is unknown, and it is unknown whether the saliva contains the virus.
The imperial guard seemed to see Du Xuechun's concerns, and quickly explained to Du Xuechun:
"Empress, please rest assured, this red squirrel does not bite people, and someone has already checked its body. Its saliva, paws, and body do not contain any disease-causing toxins."
Mingying on the side looked at the red squirrel with round black eyes, looking around, and let the guards hold it very quietly, without moving. Can't help but walk forward slowly and take the red squirrel from the guard.
The red squirrel was not afraid of life. It looked at Mingying for a while. Not only that, he smelled it on Mingying's embroidery. With a familiar appearance, Mingying couldn't help but laugh.
"Niang, look at it. I'm not afraid of people."
Mingying turned around, and Du Xuechun, who was looking aside, said excitedly. After speaking, she let go of her hand and let the squirrel climb on her hand and arm. Moreover, the red squirrel was still very stable on Mingying's arm, and jumped to the side of Du Xuechun.
Du Xuechun who was watching was extremely happy, and quickly raised his hand on the back of the red squirrel and stroked it for a while. The red squirrel was also extremely enjoyable, let Du Xuechun touch and pet it. He even rubbed Du Xuechun's robes, acting coquettishly.
"Mingying, look, where is the squirrel? It looks alive like a very gentle puppy, even acting like a baby!"
Du Xuechun looked at the red squirrel on his arm and was overjoyed, and quickly said to Mingying. There was a bright smile on his face, and he was no longer disappointed when he first entered this animal training pavilion.
Seeing Du Xuechun's happiness, Mingying couldn't help but also became happy. He nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, now I have a very good playmate with Princess Ya."
"Yeah, yeah, it's also very good for Weichen to look at this red squirrel." The guards on the side looked at people's expressions very much, and quickly followed Mingying.
"Well, this little thing is really good. If you want to come and Heya will definitely like it. By the way, does this little thing have a name? What kind of food should we feed it on weekdays? Or what should be paid attention to when raising it local."
Du Xuechun smiled and lowered his head and glanced at the red squirrel crawling on his arm, raised his hand and gently caught it, while talking, he put it in his palm to tease.
