I am a cat in the palace

In the evening, Rourou took me into the bathroom again. Since I suddenly transformed into a human form in the bathroom last time, whenever she enters the bathroom to take a bath, Rourou will never drag me down.However, with the experience of almost drowning me last time, he finally knows how to measure, except for the occasional sneak attack, he never pushes me under the water for nothing.

With a soft towel under my stomach, I lay lazily on the edge of the sapphire pool, enjoying the meticulous service of His Royal Highness.First the back, then the belly, then—

"Touch again!" Zhen raised his foot and kicked the fleshy face hard.

"Don't be so small, you won't lose a piece of meat if you touch it." Rourou touched his face and raised his head unwillingly, his little eyes were still glancing at my bell, and I immediately clamped my legs and rolled away to the water.

"It's so easy to touch, why don't you touch your own? You don't have it?" Zhen raised his chin vigorously, and scratched his paws angrily in the water.

"Can that be the same?" With a smirk, "I have no hair on my balls." After saying that, he jumped down with a splash, splashing water all over the sky, and the waves almost knocked me back Go to the bank of the pool.

"Since you like it so much, then go to the cat and dog shop and ask for a male cat. You can touch it every day and don't bother me!" Hearing his words, I felt uncomfortable for no reason, and turned my face away Just climbed ashore, and was about to go out after shaking his hair.

"Ah, are you really angry? Well, don't be so petty, can't I not touch it in the future?" Rourou quickly climbed up, wanting to hug me back.

I just held back the breath in my heart, but I was still stuck. I kicked him in the chest again, and continued to walk out. Rourou quickly caught up with two steps, "Daxian, Daxian, okay, don't be angry, I was wrong Isn’t that okay? Or, I’ll let you touch it too, and I’ll touch it back for you, look! Mine is bigger than yours!” After speaking, he put his hands on his hips, his legs wide apart, and jumped in front of Zhen, I almost didn't stop, and went directly under his thigh, and when I heard the sound and looked up, I saw that... jingle dangling above my head.I almost didn't come up in one breath, and was choked by him!The dignified emperor and prince, even when he puts on his clothes, he looks like a dog. How can he become this virtuous when he takes off his clothes?Does this brat know what it means to be ashamed?Twisting the big yangko on top of my head with my big butt naked, I just feel that if I look at it one more time, my eyes will go blind!

"Come on, let you touch it back!" After saying that, the brat took a big cloth towel for wiping himself and spread it on the ground, and then he really lay on his back in front of me.

I looked up at the sky, and then wiped the wet hair on my face with my paws. After thinking for a long time, I finally got angry—and threw myself on him, "You let me touch you! Then don't blame me." You're welcome!"

There was a lot of noise in the bathroom, and it wasn't until both of them rolled into the sink and had a thorough bath again that the bath was not over.

I squinted my eyes, lay on my fleshy legs, and His Royal Highness Prince Ren dried my hair a little bit, lazily wanting to do nothing but sleep.But Rourou suddenly said, "Do you want to pick up the Liang Guo Mission with me tomorrow?"

"Go." I hummed unwillingly to even open my mouth.

"Do you think it's strange that Liang Guo asked the prince to come here with a pair of younger siblings?"

"Yes, I have."

"That's right, I think so too, then guess why Liang Guo asked the second princess and the sixth prince to come with him?"

"How old is the second princess?"

"Sixteen." Rourou answered smoothly.

Every few days, Weiyin would give Rourou some copies of the imperial court’s news about the surrounding countries, asking him to read carefully, and asking him to practice predicting and analyzing from those fragmented or inconspicuous information, except for the Di Bao, of course. , There are also some other sources of news, such as some basic information about the royal family members of the surrounding countries, which are already familiar to the flesh, so there is no need to think about it at all.

"What about the sixth prince? It seems to be the same age as me, but a few months younger than me."

"Oh, then what do you think they are here for?" I asked back, and at the same time turned over comfortably, raised my paws, and let him continue to wipe the long hair on my legs.

"Isn't that obvious? I've traveled thousands of miles to bring a princess who is in full bloom. What else can I do other than marry? Is it really here to visit the mountains and rivers?" Rourou snorted coldly with a little disdain. Mr. Tian said that Liang Guo sent a princess over, and he immediately understood Liang Guo’s plan. Now that he came to ask me, I think he wanted to have a deeper chat with me.

"Since this princess is here, if there is no accident, she must stay, right?" I patted my fleshy hand, indicating that the hair under his armpits hadn't been wiped dry.

"Yes." Rourou took a cloth towel and rubbed my hair vigorously, obviously not very welcoming to the coming princess.

"Perhaps, Liang Guo's goal is not your father." I pushed his hand away with my claws, jumped onto the ground beside him, shook the hair that was no longer so wet, fluffed up the tips of the hair, and stretched it out. Lanyao said to Rou Rou: "Don't forget, you have a brother above you, and our Da Xia has a eldest prince who is about to grow up."

After all, Rourou was still young, so he couldn't help thinking about these matters between countries. In his heart, he probably only thought that Liang Guo sent a princess to make a promise to stay with her as a baby mother.What's more, in his subconscious mind, he probably already tacitly agreed that his second brother is a dead person, so in this matter, he inevitably got into a dead end.

But——the old emperor was dying of illness, even if the news was covered up too tightly, but in the past half a year, the old emperor had hardly been in court, but he couldn't hide it no matter how stupid Liang Guo was, he wouldn't be able to hide it. A beautiful 16-year-old little princess sent here to be buried with the old emperor?How could Liang Guo do such a thankless task?Their target is obviously the young prince of Daxia, and judging by the age of the little princess they sent over, they obviously want to bet their treasure on the second prince.However, it is inevitable that they will do this. After all, the second prince is both the eldest son and the eldest son. Although the old emperor has been dragging his heels on not establishing a crown prince, according to Da Xia's tradition, he still has the highest possibility of inheriting the throne.

"You mean, Liang Guo wants to marry the princess to the second emperor?" Rourou was a little shocked when he heard what I said, but after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help nodding, "You're right, there is indeed such a thing. possibility."

"Okay, don't think too much about it, no matter what Liang Guo plans, you still need your father's consent, even if your father agrees, you still have to agree with the queen and that old ghost. I don't think it's that easy to do this. I think you should first think about how to receive Prince Liang and his siblings tomorrow."

Hearing me mention this, Rourou suddenly paused, and asked suspiciously: "If Princess Liang is here to marry, then why is the sixth prince here?"

I was taken aback by his question, "Are you here to play?"

"His Royal Highness, we will arrive at the official post of the Imperial Capital of the State of Xia. We need to rest here overnight. They will send someone to lead us into the city after we formally submit the letter of credence to the State of Xia tomorrow." The accompanying officials saw the official post of the Imperial Capital Come over to report the itinerary to Prince Liang, the princess, and the prince.In fact, since they entered the territory of Daxia, they have been escorted by officials from various places along the way. The itinerary has already been determined. Now that they see the Imperial Palace, it is just a routine for the attendants to come and report.

Prince Liang raised the curtain of the car, and immediately saw a large expanse of cornices, black tiles and red walls standing beside the busy avenue in the distance. The two carriages, which were covered with dust, couldn't help sighing softly.

"Go and talk to Princess Yasukuni and the sixth prince, and let them prepare. They will be greeted by officials from the Ministry of Rites when they get off the car later. Don't lose your dignity."

"Yes." The attendant responded, and hurried to the two cars behind.

The convoy continued on. After a stick of incense, Liang Guoguo's convoy finally stopped in front of the Imperial Palace.

Prince Liang's status is honorable, and the Ministry of Rituals in the Great Xia Dynasty did not wait too long, and arranged the best courtyard for Prince Liang, the second princess, and the sixth prince to rest. After the banquet, it was already late at night.

After changing into casual clothes, Luo Mingrui, the crown prince of Liang, who had lost the smell of alcohol, hesitated again and again, but still walked to the front of his sister's house. The little maid who was watching the night in front of the door was bowing her head and holding her net under the light and shadow of the wind lantern. When she saw the prince coming, she quickly got up and saluted .

"Is your princess asleep?"

The little girl looked into the room a little uncertainly. The lights in the room were always on, but this was the princess' habit since she was a child, and she never turned off the lights at night, so she really didn't know if the princess was asleep or not.

"Forget it then." Prince Mingrui turned around and planned to go back, but just as he turned around, he heard the door behind him being opened with a creak, and the second princess' personal maid came out and saluted Prince Mingrui, "Your Highness, the princess hasn't gone to bed yet, Please, His Royal Highness, go in and have a talk."

Prince Mingrui paused for a moment, then nodded and entered the room.

The layout of the princess' room is basically the same as his room. Entering through the gate, there are two living rooms, one large and one small, and then there are study rooms and two bedrooms inside and outside.But the room that the obvious princess lived in was much more gentle and delicate than the room he lived in from the interior decoration and furnishings, and it was obviously specially used to entertain female distinguished guests.And his second sister, Luo Zhirong, the newly crowned Princess of Yasukuni, is still sitting on the rosewood chair in the inner living room with her makeup neatly.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Can't sleep." The delicate makeup could hardly conceal the tiredness on Princess Zhirong's face, but even though she was so sleepy, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.

"I heard that you've been bedridden since you were a child. It's been a hard journey all the way." Prince Mingrui went to the seat beside Princess Zhirong and sat down.

"I've been changing beds almost every night during this journey, how can I be so pretentious about admitting to bed problems." Princess Zhirong shook her head slightly self-deprecating.

"Is that afraid?" Prince Mingrui looked at his sister gently, and he couldn't help but recall her courageous face when she knelt in front of Chengye Hall and volunteered to kiss Daxia, "If you don't want to, tell brother now, why don't you marry me?" Brother will definitely not embarrass you, just take you out for a tour of the mountains and rivers, how we got here, we will go back."

Princess Zhirong was slightly startled, her nose suddenly felt sore, but she tried her best to hold back the soreness in her heart, and shook her head again: "No! Brother Huang, I have already made a decision on the way to the Chengye Hall. Marriage is voluntary on my own. These years, Daxia has been pressing every step of the way, constantly provoking and encroaching on the territory of our country, and thousands of soldiers have shed their blood for the protection of the country. Unfortunately, even if I live in the deep palace, I know that Yu Yangdao, Zhang Xindao has been ravaged by floods. Not only have taxes been reduced, but disaster relief has to be done everywhere. The treasury is seriously empty, and it is really powerless to fight. Right now, what I need most in Daliang is a respite. We need time to recover. For the sake of my Daliang Luo family Qianqiu Emperorye, my sacrifice is simply insignificant."

Seeing his beautiful sister who was as beautiful as a flower, with lips as soft as petals, speaking words as strong as steel, Prince Mingrui couldn't help being moved again. The first time was in front of Chengye Hall, he was moved by her unwavering attitude , but this time she was shocked by her spirit of giving up her life for righteousness without hesitation.

"Prince Luo Mingrui of Daliang, Xie Princess Jingguo on behalf of thousands of people and soldiers of Daliang!" Prince Mingrui suddenly got up, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the princess.

Princess Zhirong hurriedly got up to avoid it: "Brother Prince, don't do this, Zhirong is ashamed."

"Since it's not because my sister is afraid that she can't sleep, why can't she sleep?"

"I... am worried about my sixth brother."

"Xiao Liu..."

When mentioning the sixth prince, Prince Mingrui couldn't help but a trace of tenderness flashed across his face. Xiao Liu's mother was the concubine sister of his mother, Empress Yun Hui. Ten years after her mother entered the palace, she was sent to the palace by the Yun family to help her mother Gu Chong. Among them, because of his gentle temperament, he was loved by his father, and he was awarded the title of Wanmei. Unfortunately, he died of illness within three years after entering the palace, leaving only the sixth prince Mingxu, who was not yet two years old at the time, and his mother took him into her arms. He was raised by his side, because he was close on weekdays, this younger brother and him were really like brothers of the same mother.
