Emperor Jing exchanged a glance with Mr. Wei, and both couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Cao Ge wanted to lash out, but the one teasing him was merely a bird, and now it belonged to His Majesty. Helpless, he could only glare at the myna and awkwardly step aside.
Emperor Jing's slight worry was completely dissipated by this ridiculous myna.
He then signaled with his eyes to the chief eunuch Li Zhongxin beside him and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, this bird of yours is indeed amusing. I quite like it, so I will keep it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Zun nodded respectfully.
To eliminate any resentment Zhao Zun might feel, Emperor Jing decided to reward him as a gesture of good faith, giving both a slap and a sweet date.
