Whoever dotes on me will be the best in the world

It's night, everything is silent.

In the bedroom of the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion, Nie Zhen lay on the couch facing inward, propped up with one hand, and held a fan in the other hand, fanning the cool breeze slowly.

There was a pillow in front of him, and a little cat was lying on the pillow, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed, and the cat ears on its head trembled from time to time with the cool wind blowing on its body.

It was midsummer at this time, and the weather was hot. There were ice cubes placed in the palace almost all day long to cool down. Change.

Nie Zhen put down the fan, put his hand on the kitten's back, and touched the kitten's back. After making sure that the body temperature was right and the fur was not hot, he lay down and put his hand on the other side of the pillow to prevent the kitten from sleeping restlessly and rolling off the pillow. go.

Staring at the cat with long and narrow eyes, he recalled all the things that happened before, and thought of the night pearl that the shadow guard said had turned into powder, so he looked at the gourd hanging around Xiao Luomo's neck, stretched out his hand to grab the gourd and touched it. Touching, subconsciously wanted to use force, but immediately stopped the movement and let go.

Mao Mao obviously likes this gourd very much, if he wakes up and finds that the gourd has been crushed by him...

When he gave the kitten Ye Mingzhu, he never emphasized that the pearl was a gift, so even if Nie Zhen destroyed the pearl during the day, the kitten would not notice.However, this gourd... has such a high sense of existence that he can't move it at all.

There was also the painting with the kitten's footprints on it. He searched the entire study room but couldn't find it. Presumably during the day, Nie Zhen realized that he had to be on guard against him and hid it in advance.

Nie Zhen smiled slightly, and said softly, "So it's still a step behind?"

Xiao Luomo rolled over on the pillow, rubbing his chin against the smooth brocade, his soft tail hanging to one side.

Nie Zhen gently held the tail, but he was not willing to rub it. If he rubbed the kitten, it would definitely wake him up.

Little Luo Mo was already embarrassed by his question tonight, and meowed blankly all night, he was really bullied.

"Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future." In the end, he let go of his hand, stretched out his hand to protect the kitten's body, and closed his eyes.

***

A few days later, the emperor and Concubine Jade held a lotus appreciation feast in the palace. Since the candidates for this banquet included not only the ministers, but also the ministers' family members, among them there were many unmarried sons and daughters. As a prince without a family, Prince Rui originally It is possible to choose not to attend, but the emperor still remembered the marriage discussed with him before, and specially ordered him to go.

Ying Wu squatted on the big tree in the yard and peeked into Prince Rui's room, coughed lightly and said solemnly: "My lord looks so handsome today, he will definitely be the most eye-catching person at the banquet. I don't know how many people will be there tonight The noble girl wants to secretly agree with her."

"...Speak human words." Ying Liu ruthlessly gave the person next to him a kidnapping, "Prince Rui's appearance is outstanding, but with the situation like your lord, no matter how much those girls like you, they won't dare to go up and talk to you, right? , who can guarantee that they won't die suddenly the next day after talking to the prince?"

"But Ying Er said that Li Wan, the eldest lady of the prime minister's family, had a very happy conversation with the prince a few days ago, and she is living well now. There is also the saint girl of the Solo Kingdom, and there is no accident. This shows that the prince can still get close to women. "Ying Wu spread his hands, and added: "I just don't know if we can get in touch... If he dies without getting through the door, it's still a crime. It's a pity that our palace has no princess for so long."

"The marriage your Majesty proposed to the prince this time is the eldest lady of the prime minister's family?" Ying Liu rubbed his chin and said affirmatively: "There is news about this girl in the Dark Pavilion. It is said that she was born bold, neither humble nor overbearing, and very talented. Concubine Yu specially held this kind of banquet today, maybe it is just to let the prince get in touch with Miss Li more."

"Are you serious?" Ying Wu leaned out and looked in through the window, just in time to see the scene where Prince Rui reached out to wipe the kitten's mouth with a handkerchief, and quickly hid in the tree again, shaking his head and said: "Ying Six, we're afraid Gotta give that girl some sympathy ahead of time, because she's going to be spiraling into self-doubt pretty soon."

"I think so too," Ying Liu agreed, he just leaned out and saw Prince Rui carefully hiding the cat in his arms, "Bringing the cat to see the future princess, the prince is probably the No. 1 in the ages. "

Xiao Luomo and Nie Zhen in the bedroom didn't know what the shadow guards said behind their backs. They had breakfast together and set off.

During the day, Nie Zhen likes to ride horses when he travels. His war horse has a very high tacit understanding with him. It is an extremely rare and peerless horse that can make rapid progress.Little Luo Mo poked his head out of Nie Zhen's skirt, looked at the pedestrians and vendors coming and going on the street, and opened his eyes curiously.

Nie Zhen wanted to buy something for it, but he didn't know what the kitten liked, so he asked in a low voice, "Is there anything the cat likes?"

Xiao Luomo turned his head to look at the hawker selling candied haws, then looked back and shook his head, a cat could not eat it even if he wanted to, even if he bought it back, would it be possible for Nie Zhen to eat candied haws?In addition to food, it only likes luminous and spherical toys, but it has them all.

Nie Zhen also saw the peddler, frowned and said, "Cats don't eat better than humans, so don't be greedy."

Xiao Luomo nodded, and called out obediently.

The system has long left the space of consciousness and wandered around the street. Hearing what Nie Zhen said, it flew back to Xiao Luomo and suggested, "You can become a human being, and he will indulge you in whatever he wants to eat."

"No way." Xiao Luomo said worriedly, "There is no energy supply now, becoming a human may not be complete, and this world seems to be more superstitious, if I am regarded as a monster, what should I do if the national teacher catches me and burns me to death?" ?”

"Why don't you think of a way to become an ancient 'internet celebrity'?" the system asked, and immediately rejected his proposal, "No, this world has conservative concepts. If you are really famous, others will not think you are smart, but will Treat you as a goblin. Besides, most women in ancient times liked men like Prince Rui. I'm afraid you won't have many fans. If you use your luck ability as a publicity, then the crime of being pregnant is also a trouble. First of all, the emperor will not tolerate you. Someone is using you to try to usurp the throne, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to sleep well."

"That's it." Xiao Luomo replied distressedly, "I can't collect the power of faith. I only rely on Nie Zhen's liking. I am afraid that it will affect his own luck, so I dare not absorb it. Unless there is something particularly energetic Things... system, do you think Buddhist relics are useful?"

"I can't be sure." The system replied vaguely, and flew away with a strange cry.

They entered the palace after a while, and the banquet venue was set at Henghe Garden. When Nie Zhen entered, most of them were already there.He first went to meet the emperor in the pavilion by the lotus pond, and came out with a cold face, without going back to his seat, ignoring the bursts of laughter from the female relatives in the opposite pavilion, and went straight to the most secluded corner of the garden.

Xiao Luomo only focused on the lotus in the pond and the dragonflies flying on the lotus leaves. It wasn't until Nie Zhen entered a gazebo with a wine jug and wine glass and began to drink by herself, that she clamored to come out.

Nie Zhen put down the wine glass, took the cat out and put it on the table, and touched its forehead with his thumb.

"Do cats like lotus?"

Little Luomo nodded vigorously, it called out to the lake, stretched out its paw and patted Nie Zhen's hand.Nie Zhen paused for a while before he understood what it meant. He summoned Ying Er, ordered people to watch the cat, and then walked to the side of the pavilion by himself, and flew to the middle of the lake with a light tap of his feet. Then fly back to the pavilion again.

On the other side, some of the female relatives who were admiring the lotus covered their mouths and screamed when they saw this, they all wondered if there was someone with a special status in the pavilion who could invite the unruly Prince Rui to pick the flowers himself.A few daring young ladies even walked out of the pavilion directly to try to find out.

Xiao Luomo lowered his head and sniffed close to the lotus, opened his mouth to bite a petal, then immediately let go of his mouth and spit it out, looked at the missing piece, then sat down, stepped on the stem of the flower with his claws and pulled it to his side a few times, then turned his head and called out to Nie Zhen With a sound. "Can I take the flowers home?"

Nie Zhen held the wine glass and watched the kitten's movements, put his hand around its tail, and said in a low voice, "This flower will wither soon if it leaves the water. If you like it, I'll let someone plant it in the house."

Little Luo Mo nodded in satisfaction. It looked at Nie Zhen's bony hand, and was about to walk over to lean on it, when Ying Er stood beside it and handed him a thin line.

It looked up along the line and saw a tied dragonfly. It stood up in surprise and ran around chasing the dragonfly on the table.

Nie Zhen quickly reached out to protect it, took the thread in Ying's second hand, and only thought for a few seconds before wrapping the thread directly around the stem of the lotus and tying it into a knot.Then put the flowers in the center of the table, let go of your hand, and let the kitten use its paws to hook the line and chase the dragonfly.On the other hand, he held the wine glass and looked at it for a moment, reaching out to protect it from time to time to prevent the kitten from falling off the table.

The shadows in the dark looked at Prince Rui's caring attitude towards the cat, and felt a little touched by coincidence.They all entered the dark pavilion to receive training since they were young, and they have been with Prince Rui for more than ten years. They know better than anyone how Nie Zhen survived in the frontier these years.Because of this, seeing Prince Rui pay attention to something like this for the first time now, even if it is not a person but a cat, it is very rare.

While Nie Zhen was playing with the kitten in the pavilion, Li Wan, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family on the other side of the garden, also walked slowly towards this side with her maid, but she bumped into Solo when she walked halfway. The Saintess Goer of the country had no choice but to stop and say hello to each other, the two of them came and went to each other for a long time, and finally walked in the direction where Prince Rui was.

"The Holy Maiden met Prince Rui before?" Li Wan asked with a smile as she gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.She has a gentle temperament, and when she smiles, she gives people a very comfortable feeling, so asking questions like this will not make people feel abrupt at all.

Goer nodded, her face was a little red, her appearance was unparalleled, but her temperament was completely opposite, weak and lovable. When she heard this question, she immediately thought of Nie Zhen's majestic appearance on the horse that day, and then Thinking of the purpose of my coming here at this moment, I endured my embarrassment and replied: "The tribute team was attacked by bandits that day, and the holy relic and I were in danger. Fortunately, Prince Rui rushed to help in time, and left behind elite soldiers to escort us, so we were able to Arrived in the capital safe and sound."

"So that's how it is." Li Wan suddenly realized, "It's no wonder the prince rescued the cat from the national teacher that day."

The smile on the Saintess' face froze when she heard this, "Yes, Prince Rui is indeed righteous. Goer doesn't know how to repay his life-saving grace."

The two arrived outside the pavilion not long after, and both saw Xiao Luomo bouncing around on the table chasing dragonflies for the first time.

Li Wan went up first to greet Prince Rui, followed by Ge Er.Nie Zhen glanced at the two of them indifferently, and only responded lightly, inviting them to sit down out of courtesy.

Xiao Luomo stopped when he was tired from running, and sat down on Nie Zhen's hand with his feet tilted, his little head resting on the palm of the other party, so tired that he didn't want to move.

Nie Zhen touched its forehead, took the teapot that Ying Er had just brought over, poured a glass of water, and put it in front of the kitten.

Little Luomo lowered his head to drink water, and the holy girl, Goer, looked at the kitten's well-behaved appearance, and smiled softly, "The holy cat is well-raised by the prince, so it looks more energetic than before, and it looks fleshy."

Xiao Luomo looked up at the other party, and gave a light meow as a greeting.

Li Wanjian was talking, and seeing that Nie Zhen was not very talkative, he took the initiative to start the conversation, and the man would answer in a low voice from time to time, but his expression was always majestic and indifferent, and he looked a little careless.

His attention was almost entirely on the cat, and Xiao Luomo drank so much that the hairs on his chin were covered with water droplets, so he stretched out his finger to wipe it off, and scratched the kitten's chin teasingly, making the little guy look up. Scratching him with a paw, he turned his back to him.

Li Wan saw it, and changed the subject, "This kitten is really cute, and it looks very spiritual, I didn't expect that the prince is also a cat lover, Wan'er thought I was the only one who loved cats in Daqing. "

Nie Zhen glanced at her and said lightly, "The cat is very smart."

When Xiao Luomo heard others praise it, he happily cocked his tail, stood up and pulled the lotus over, and sat down next to Nie Zhen's hand.

Li Wan noticed the kitten's movements keenly, and thought that this cat is really smart, almost from the moment they appeared, it has been clinging to Prince Rui, and it will quickly go back to nest when it goes a little farther away, either because it is afraid of others, or it is just Too attached to Prince Rui.However, the saint is obviously the previous breeder of the kitten, but she has not seen it showing intimacy, which shows that the latter is more likely.

If you just love cats... naturally it doesn't matter, this just shows that Prince Rui is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside rumors say, but, is Prince Rui's attention to this cat... a little too much?

Thinking of this, she said, "Concubine Yu just said that she hoped that the prince would put up lanterns with His Majesty and the others at night. The prince is not in the palace during the Lantern Festival this year. This time, he will make up for it. As for the prince's cat, I can leave it to my servant girl." Take care, she is also in charge of taking care of Wan'er's cat in the Prime Minister's Mansion on weekdays, what does the lord think?"

"The king will go to put the lamp on, and the cat doesn't need it." Nie Zhen replied without hesitation, picked up Xiao Luomo and stood up, "The king is too weak to drink, so let's go sober up first, the two girls please go ahead."

After he finished speaking, he strode away without looking back, leaving two people in a daze.

***

Little Luomo tried to look back at the pavilion, sat in Nie Zhen's hand and said aggrievedly: "Meow, you forgot my flowers."

Nie Zhen knew what it was anxious for at a glance. He controlled the strength and rubbed the back of the kitten's neck, raised his hand and put the cat on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Your flowers are with Ying Er."

Xiao Luomo was immediately happy. Sitting on Nie Zhen's shoulder, he felt that he was much taller in an instant, and his vision expanded several times. When he looked up, he could see the white jade crown on Nie Zhen's head.

The man turned around with it, and quickly left Henghe Garden along the path.

"Nie Zhen, are you really drunk?" Xiao Luomo looked at the side face of the other party, and said strangely: "Nie Zhen often drinks in the mansion, but he is not drunk."

The system ran back from the banquet at some point, hid behind and suddenly replied: "He must be pretending, Nie Zhen is not interested in those two women at first sight, I bet a cucumber, he has a cold personality .”

"System, didn't you say that you won't come back until the banquet is over?" Xiao Luomo was startled and almost fell, but Nie Zhen raised his hand to support him, so angry that he pumped the system with energy. "Don't speak ill of Nie Zhen. Also, you don't have cucumbers."

"I'm here to watch the show, right?" the system hurriedly hid away, "Nie Zhen is looking to cause trouble, how can the system miss it?"

Little Luo Mo tilted his head in disbelief, put his head against Nie Zhen's ear, and sat obediently.

After a while, Nie Zhen brought the cat into a palace full of dust and cobwebs. He took the cat down and hid it in his arms, and flew up to the beams of the room with a single step.Stretching out his hand to stroke the kitten soothingly, he coaxed, "Kitty, don't make any noise."

Xiao Luomo poked his head out and looked down nervously, while the system floated quietly aside.

Not long after, the door of the hall was pushed open, and a man wearing an imperial doctor's uniform walked in, walked to the center of the hall and stood with his hands behind his back.His appearance is somewhat similar to that of the national teacher Zhu Ming, and he is the imperial doctor Zhu who gave Xiao Luomo a pulse before.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the palace door was pushed open again, and a girl in a pink palace dress walked in slowly. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief as she walked, and looked around in disgust.

As soon as the man saw her coming in, his eyes became eager, and he stepped forward and said: "Zhu Ming has met Princess Changle."

"No." The girl waved her hand, took off the veil, revealed a delicate and pretty face, frowned and said, "Why did you ask me to come to such a place? I wish the imperial physician, if you have something to say, hurry up, I have to go feast."

"Princess... have you received the letter I sent you with a carrier pigeon?" Zhu Ming tentatively asked, "I don't know what the princess thinks after reading the letter?"

"What letter?" Princess Changle pulled her handkerchief and said cautiously: "I wish you an imperial doctor, I haven't received your letter recently. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he asked eagerly again, "Princess really never received a letter from my minister? Then have you ever received a letter from someone else?"

"Well," Chang Le nodded her chin, and said indifferently: "It is true that I did not receive your letter, but I did receive the letter from the national teacher. Could it be that the imperial doctor Zhu wanted to say that you accidentally wrote your name wrong, and put Zhu Is it clearly written as Zhuming?"

"This..." Zhu Ming smiled embarrassingly, "The letter was indeed written by the minister, but I was afraid that the princess would not accept me, so I wrote the name of the national teacher when I was in a daze. Zhu Ming was confused for a while, hope Don't blame the princess. However, every word in the letter is Zhu Ming's heartfelt words, and he will never lie. If there is a lie, Zhu Ming will be struck by lightning that day."

Chang Le took a step back when he heard the words, a blush appeared on his face, and he looked more and more gorgeous.She twisted the veil, suppressed the enthusiasm on her face after a while, and replied: "I wish the imperial doctor's affection... I naturally understand, but I have never thought about the love between children, so... I can't respond." You. I will pretend that this has never happened, and I hope the imperial physician will forget about it." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Wait, princess!" Zhu Ming rushed to catch up and stop him, with a sincere expression on his face, "It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't accept me, I just hope that the princess won't feel disgusted with me because of this matter, I really can't help it This is why I made such a bad plan, I hope the princess will forgive Zhu Ming for his abruptness."

"Well... that's fine." Chang Le waved his hand a little, "Don't worry, I'm not a narrow-minded person. Today's business will end here."

"Thank you, Princess." Zhu Ming cupped his hands and watched Princess Changle leave. After a while, he straightened up. He covered his head with his hands, and circled around the hall like a trapped animal. As he walked, he came across a dilapidated Suddenly, he stretched out his foot and kicked the chair over, followed by kicking it a few more times, until he was completely vented, then adjusted his official uniform, and left the palace with his head held high.

Nie Zhen stayed on the beam for a while, making sure no one would come in again, and then jumped down protecting the kitten in his arms.

He stared at the chair that had been kicked down, his eyes were as cold as a knife, his whole body was full of murderous aura, he raised his hand to call out the shadow guard, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to continue to follow him. Responsible for protecting Chang Le, don't let her leave alone."

Little Luomo blinked suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "System, that Zhu Ming...why does he like Changle? Doesn't Zhu Ming like Changle?"

"Guess!" The system floated excitedly, "Luo Mo, I think you should find Zhu Ming to help him as soon as possible, he has already started to act."

"But I haven't seen him yet. Zhu Ming was imprisoned by the emperor." Xiao Luomo was a little embarrassed, "I'll talk to Nie Zhen tonight, maybe there's a chance."

"It really doesn't work, it will have the same effect if you help Zhu Ming." The system said meaningfully, and then flew out of the hall.

It hasn't watched the dancers dance yet!

Xiao Luomo thought about what it said, and finally understood.This national teacher... actually likes to wear a vest and use fake identities, isn't it because he thinks that if he can't hook up with one identity, he can change it?This trick is really deep, obviously the princess didn't notice it at all.However, judging from his attitude, although he looked a little mentally ill, he was cautious towards the princess, but he didn't know how long he could last.

If matching them up will harm Princess Changle, then it has to seriously consider whether to complete the task.

***

In the evening, Nie Zhen got up and walked to Henghe Garden with the cat after dinner. Xiao Luomo sat on his shoulder and kept looking at his side face without blinking his eyes.

"What's wrong with the cat?" Nie Zhen asked in a low voice.

Xiao Luomo whispered, "Nie Zhen, are you going to transform?"

The man stopped and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Instead of answering the question, he coaxed in a low voice, "Does the cat remember what I said this morning?"

Xiao Luomo nodded seriously, "I remember. You said that if Nie Zhen at night spoke ill of you, I would stand by your side. I remembered."

Nie Zhen saw the kitten nodding, and the smile on his lips was fleeting. He took the cat down and put it in his clothes, and slowly closed his eyes. After a while, the tall figure suddenly swayed, then quickly stood still, and opened his eyes slightly. He laughed, lowered his head and nodded the kitten's forehead, and said dotingly: "Did Maomao miss me today?"
