I am a cat in the palace

After sacrificing to the Ancestral Temple, the emperor returned to the capital with hundreds of clan relatives, leaving only the deserted and lonely sound of lectures in Changyun Temple.

Just after the first month of the lunar year, the night in the mountains was extremely cold, and the whistling mountain wind still carried some breath of ice and snow, humming in through the cracks in the windows.

Rourou hugged me wrapped in a quilt and sat on the bed in a daze, I groped under his feet, his little feet were cold.

"Daxian, father was spanked, will it hurt now?"

I couldn't answer what he said, so I could only raise my head and lick his chin, rubbing against him repeatedly with the base of my ear. This time, I was not careful enough and followed someone else's lead, which not only caused the emperor to be spanked, but also made him less fleshy. With tens of thousands of taels of salary, he still has to stay in this Dashan Taoist temple for as long as five years.And Asi, fortunately, he survived the misfortune, but he was beaten with fifty sticks, expelled from Yongshan Palace, and transferred to the Miscellaneous Bureau as a hard laborer.

But I heard that he can still kneel down to thank him after fifty sticks. I know someone must have secretly protected him. None of the eunuchs from the internal government department climbed down from the torture bench.

"Your Highness, why are you still up so late?" Hearing the voice of Rourou talking to Zhen, Fulin put on his clothes and walked into the inner room.

"Well, I miss my father." The fleshy little head leaned on his arm, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.

"Your Highness..." Fulin's eyes couldn't help getting wet when he heard Rourou say this, "Your Highness, don't be sad, doesn't the Emperor go out of the palace every year to come to the Taimiao? You can always see him. Besides It's only a few years, and it will pass in a blink of an eye. When you are 12 years old, you will be able to return to the palace to see the emperor again.

Besides, as you have seen, the palace has not been peaceful these past few years, and those people are getting bolder and bolder. If they stay inside, they might end up with some kind of disaster. Let's avoid it in the Changyun Temple for the time being. Not a good thing. "Fulin sighed and said softly, listening to the howling mountain wind outside the window.

I slipped out of Flesh's arms and lay on his cold feet. This was the first time in my life. I suddenly wished that I could become a human being. Even if it was only for a short while, it would be good!

Changyang Hall of Xingde Palace, the emperor's bedroom——

Jiangui, who was waiting outside the door of the emperor's bedroom, kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, quietly guarding the door of the hall. He thought he would wait for a long time, but Jian Duangui came out after only a cup of hot tea. He hurried up to put on her cloak, and at the same time asked in a low voice: "Mother, why did you come out so soon?"

"The emperor just took the medicine, and he is not in good spirits. He thinks the crowd is too noisy, so let us all go back first." While speaking, Concubine Duan glanced at the beauties who came out from the corner of her eyes, except for the queen. Almost all the concubines who were worthy of face came.Some of them were still wiping their tears with handkerchiefs when they came out, Concubine Duan couldn't help snorting coldly when she saw the red-eyed concubines, and flung her sleeves away, obviously the emperor disliked the noise and had nothing to do with them.

Along the way, Concubine Duan just had a sullen face and didn't speak, and she didn't dare to ask more questions when she saw Gui, but walked slowly behind her silently.It was not until returning to the Qinghui Hall of Qingyang Palace that Concubine Duan finally said, "Where is Shang Xuan?"

"Go to bed, it's already so late." Jian Gui replied cautiously, but felt that the imperial concubine's mood was not right.

"Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! Is he a pig? He knows how to sleep! Go! Pull him up for me." Sure enough, Concubine Duan erupted instantly. It fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"Young lady, please calm down. Your Highness is still young. He is really tired after coming back from Changyun Mountain today. It was my servant who asked Jinfu to wait for him to rest early." Seeing Gui thumped and knelt down in front of Concubine Duan, I don't care if there are still pieces of porcelain slag under my knees.

Concubine Duan looked down at her most loyal chief servant, and after a while she let out a light breath and said, "The second prince, that tuberculosis ghost, knows how to go to ask the emperor to please him before going back. Shang Xuan didn't even show his face when he came back. You all know that you are used to him. Get him up early tomorrow morning, and let him be the first to pay his respects to the emperor. "

"Yes, yes, it's all the servant's fault. The servant didn't think carefully, so please forgive me." Jian Gui bowed his body deeply, pleading guilty.

After Concubine Duan's mood calmed down a bit, he saw that the noble concubine had called the maids in to clean up the messy floor in the house. He waited on Concubine Duan to change her clothes and sit on the couch to rest. He sat at Concubine Duan's feet and gave her While beating his legs, he asked softly: "Just now in Xingde Palace, why didn't you see the empress?"

"In the Taimiao, the emperor slapped her face in public, and since he came back, he has been shutting himself in the Zining Palace, and no one has been seen. Hmph, speaking of it, I really think highly of her, the road is paved for her like that, The steps were built up one by one, and there were so many supporters around, a charge of disrespect can be properly charged, but in the end, let alone the dead coffin, he didn't even lose a prince, and the old man King Huan's life was lost, she is such a waste!"

Concubine Duan twisted the armor on her hand resentfully, when she mentioned Lao Huan Wang, there was only a click, and the gold inlaid jade armor was twisted into a twist by her, and the emerald jade inlaid on it shattered to the ground again.Jian Gui looked at the jade crumbs all over the floor, and subconsciously recalled that this was the first set of nails broken by the imperial concubine this year.

Concubine Duan was about to go mad with anger. She made some careful arrangements, and almost used half of the secret agents in the palace to find an opportunity to set up such an excellent situation. Can completely blow out King Zhen from the heir to the throne, but what will happen?She spent a lot of money, but she didn't even hurt King Zhen's flesh. She didn't even kill the cat, but broke the old King Huan into it.

Thinking of the old King Huan, she couldn't help cursing inwardly, she is really old and stupid, not to mention how to persuade the emperor to abolish King Zhen, but to fight against the emperor, and finally pay for her old life. It was so stupid that she wanted to pick up his coffin and pinch his neck to strangle him to death again.

Lao Huan, like Prince Hui, is the uncle of the current emperor.Concubine Duangui's direct sister married into Prince Huan's mansion. Although she is not in the same line as the son, she is still considered an in-law. The two mansions have frequent contacts on weekdays. When it comes to establishing the heir, the old King Huan has always been biased towards the fourth prince. One of the important supports.

But this time the old King Huan just folded in the Taimiao, and according to the hereditary rules of Daxia's title, the new King Huan will be demoted to the next rank, that is to say, he will suddenly change from a prince to a county king, although it is only a word. Poor, but the difference in influence between the court and the clan cannot be counted.

"The main reason why King Zhen was able to get out of this incident was because of the emperor. The emperor's heirs are struggling, so naturally he is determined to protect the three..."

"What's so difficult? Even if the second prince looks like he can't grow up, isn't there still Shang Xuan? But he just can't bear to part with that coffin! I don't think he can't bear to part with that coffin, but he can't let go of the precious concubine in his heart." !"

Seeing this is expensive, no matter what, I dare not take it anymore.

The place where Rourou is placed is an independent courtyard called Jingyuan, which is on the northeast side of Changyun Temple. It is said that Emperor Taizu once lived in this courtyard, so although the decoration inside is simple, it is still elegant. exquisite.

At night, it snowed heavily again. It is said that the snow in Changyun Mountain can continue to fall until the end of February. I leaned over to the window and took a look. I was surprised that the snow was even heavier than the snow in the twelfth lunar month in Beijing. Accompanied by the mountain wind, the snowflakes rolled down, covering the sky and the sun, and it seemed that there was only a vastness left in the world.

I have been busy during the day, but I didn't care about it. Now the surroundings are quiet. From time to time, there are some strange crashing sounds like something breaking, accompanied by the sound of falling water. I didn't think about it for a while. What kind of sound was it? Seeing that Rourou was sleeping restlessly, I felt a little uncomfortable.

The bed here is also hard, and the room is also cold. After sleeping until midnight, Flesh accidentally kicked the quilt and was woken up once by the cold. Finally, he slept soundly when it was almost dawn, so when he got up in the morning, Fulin stopped everyone. People, don't let anyone go to wake up.

I squatted on the eaves of the gate of Changyun Temple, looking at the vast snow field covered in silver from a distance, and suddenly realized that this was the first time I had really left the palace since I could remember, and there were no gold bricks and blue tiles in my sight. The palace walls without the eaves and corners of the towers, everything is so strange, I feel a little frustrated for no reason.

Suddenly, a group of figures from far away appeared on Guanqian Avenue, led by two small figures, one tall and one short, walking side by side arm in arm. It seemed very difficult for them to walk up almost step by step.

"Ah Chen and Ah Wei?" I could hardly believe my eyes, but I had great confidence in my eyesight, so I finally confirmed that those two little figures were the two of the British government. little boy.Didn't they already follow the Tiger Cavalry Army yesterday?Why did you come up again today?

"Meow~" When they came to the front of the temple, I immediately swooped down and climbed onto Awei's body along the corner of his robe.

"Great Immortal!" Awei held me with both hands, his expression was shocked, but there was flattered joy in that shock, "Brother, am I dreaming? The Great Immortal actually crawled on me on his own initiative!"

"Probably because of your pity." Lin Guanchen slapped Ah Wei on the head unceremoniously, "Hurry up and hug Daxian, you can see that his whole body is wet, let's go in quickly, it's so cold, it's too cold." I don't know how His Royal Highness King Zhen survived that night last night."

"Brother Chen? Ah Wei?" When I led the Lin brothers to Rourou's courtyard, Rourou was dressing and washing.

"Your Highness!" The Lin brothers immediately saluted when they saw Rourou.

"Why are you here? Get up, get up, didn't you say it a long time ago, there is no need for these false gifts between us." Seeing the sudden appearance of the Lin brothers, Rourou's whole body instantly became alive.

"We are His Highness's companions, and also His Highness's bodyguards. Naturally, wherever His Highness is, we will be there." Lin Guanchen said with a smile.

"My grandfather said, let us live in Changyun Temple with His Highness from today, and let us also cultivate our temperament in this holy mountain and clear water. When His Highness can return to the palace, let us go home " Lin Guanwei spoke quickly, and directly relayed the words of the old British man.

"The British government, the old man, the old man..." Fulin stood by, listening to every sentence, and was moved to tears in an instant, and was so excited that he couldn't even speak, "The British government, really You are worthy of being the heir of loyalty, Your Highness, it is really a great fortune for you to be accompanied by two young masters from the British government, great luck!"

"It is my Shangxin's blessing to have Brother Chen and Ah Wei as companions. From today on, Brother Chen and Ah Wei are like brothers. No matter what happens in the future, we will never bear each other!"

"His Highness King Zhen speaks seriously. It is an honor for the British government to choose my brother as his companion. Naturally, we must do our best to serve His Highness well." Lin Guanchen bowed his hands humbly.

Lin Guanwei is a carefree master. After hearing what the two said, he grinned and stretched out his left and right arms to embrace the two, "Outside, Your Highness is the prince or the prince, so we naturally have to respect him, but here In the mountains, it doesn't matter if we become brothers by ourselves? As long as His Highness is happy."

"Yes! What Awei said is exactly." Rourou immediately embraced the Lin brothers with his backhand, and also grinned freely. The haze of the night seemed to have completely dissipated in a moment.
