"Who is the stinky egg!" Dan Su widened his eyes and winked at Dan Que, but his father never knew what it meant to save face for his son, and he talked incessantly about the origin of his name.
Dan Su's mother was an ordinary member of the Qing tribe. She could not transform into a bird. After she laid the phoenix egg, her grandfather incubated it himself.
"It was winter then, and we couldn't live without eggs for a moment," Grandpa recalled. He carried eggs with him all the time, and didn't take a bath for ten days or half a month. The eggs in his arms became smelly. "The eggshells of your father's eggs when he was a child were always smelly."
Later, his subordinates couldn't stand it anymore and offered to help the palace lord hatch the eggs. Danque then remembered that although the child's mother couldn't hatch eggs, there were so many birds in Guiyun Palace that could hatch them!
Therefore, he stuffed the stinky red egg to the Baiyun envoy at that time, and Danque was able to take a bath happily.
