I am a cat in the palace

"Great Immortal, have you hidden your ears?" Shang Xin looked back at the Immortal while walking towards Wanmei Garden.

Daxian supported the gauze hat that the little eunuch usually wore on his head, "Well, it's all right."

Because the weather was too cold, Fulin's old cold legs developed a problem, and he could hardly walk, so Shangxin only brought Daxian, Adong, and Wanji with him when he came out today.

In the reception hall on the west side of the Wanmei Garden, the second prince had already sat in the main seat. Today he was in charge of entertaining all the male guests who came to the plum appreciation banquet, while the queen entertained the female relatives in the east.

Mengdang stood next to the second prince, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look, very respectful.

"Are you sure they will come?"

"Yes, His Highness replied to the post, saying that he will definitely come." Meng Dang replied in a low voice.

The second prince subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, and the smile on his face became gentler, "It's good if you come."

"Your Highness, there are so many people today, you still..." Meng Dang walked around uneasily.

"Of course I know it, there's no need for you to be wordy." The second prince gave Meng Dang an impatient look.

Meng Dang shut his mouth immediately and dared not speak again.

And at this moment, a voice came from outside the door——

"His Royal Highness King Zhen has arrived. His Royal Highness Prince Liang and Sixth Prince have arrived."

The voice of the announcement came in high and low, and the princes and grandsons of the various families who had been present in the hall turned their heads to look outside the door.

The second prince immediately stood up and greeted the guests very politely, "His Royal Highness, Sixth Highness, Third Brother."

"I've seen His Highness the Second Prince." As soon as Prince Mingrui entered the door, he brought his younger brother to salute the Second Prince from a distance, appearing extremely courteous.

Seeing that Prince Mingrui rushed to the front enthusiastically, Shang Xin took advantage of the situation to follow behind and briefly bowed to the second prince, then found a seat and sat down. Since the old ghost can't be moved for the time being, it's better to keep a respectful distance.

"His Royal Highness, please take a seat quickly." Several people sat down as guests and hosts. The second prince glanced at Prince Mingrui, and then turned his gaze to the young boy who was following Prince Mingrui.

"Is this His Highness the Sixth Highness? It really is like a pearl and a beautiful jade." The second prince chuckled, while praising the Sixth Prince of Liang Guo, his eyes swept towards Shang Xin, but Shang Xin seemed to show goodwill to him. His eyes were completely invisible.

The thin-skinned sixth prince immediately blushed up to the ears when he heard the second prince's sudden praise.

Shang Xin also turned her head to look at the sixth prince when she heard the sound. The envoy from the Kingdom of Liang just glanced at him and didn't have any impression. The sixth prince didn't show up at the welcome banquet. Today is Shang Xin's first time to watch it seriously. Knowing this sixth prince of Liang Kingdom, but the first feeling when he saw that sixth prince was: why is he shy and shy like a little girl.

Shang Xin looked at the Daxian standing behind him with a bit of distress. At this time, he felt that the human form was not good. Normally, on such occasions, Daxian was held in his hands and held in his arms. He could only stand behind him aggrievedly, without even a place to sit.

It's just that when he turned around, he saw Daxian was standing obediently with his head lowered, his hands lowered, seemingly docile and careless, but in fact the pair of black eyes on his slightly slanted face were staring round and chattering Turn around non-stop.

"The fourth younger brother just ordered someone to pass the word, saying that he couldn't come because he went directly to the garden. I heard that the wind outside doesn't seem to be very strong at the moment, let's go for a walk too. After all, we should be rewarded by the queen mother." For Mei Yan’s post, you should go out and see the plum blossoms.” The second prince enthusiastically invited everyone to take a walk in the garden outside, and everyone readily agreed.

Although the weather is really cold in the twelfth lunar month, since the queen is going to hold a plum feast, the preparations are naturally done well, because the plum garden is always in winter when nobles come to enjoy it, so there are many built on the mountain. The Nuan Pavilion and Xiaoxuan, the brazier will not freeze the nobles, and it is convenient to open the window to see the scenery, which is the most comfortable.

But this time there were a lot of people, the eunuch in charge of the garden thought very thoughtfully, and asked people to build a lot of thatched sheds in the places with the best plum blossom scenery, and decorated them with plum branches and bamboo boards inside and outside, which not only shelters the wind and snow, but also A bit of a painting of a hut in a plum garden.

What's more, because these thatched huts were built temporarily, most of them were chosen in the places where plum blossoms are most blooming, so many people gathered in such huts to appreciate plum blossoms, recite poems, and draw pictures in opposition.Especially those sons and daughters who are proud of their literary talent, they are making full use of this opportunity to show their talent and ambitions, and gain a reputation for literary talent and versatility.

"Prince Mingrui, there is a gathering of my most talented young masters in Daxia over there. There will probably be a lot of poems, calligraphy and paintings. I wonder if the prince and the sixth prince are interested in tasting it? As for the third prince, you should come over You haven't seen the queen mother yet, how about going to greet the queen mother as a brother?"

The second prince wanted to be alone with Shang Xin, so he kept his words out of the way, thinking of sending that prince Mingrui and the sixth prince to play by themselves, so as not to miss his business.

Prince Mingrui was very winking, he immediately nodded kindly, and pulled his younger brother to go to the place where the princes gathered.

However, Shang Xin slightly stopped Prince Mingrui, and said unhurriedly, "I never told Brother Second Emperor that I have just gone to pay my respects to Queen Mother. Since Brother Two is going to greet Queen Mother, why not?" Let me accompany Prince Mingrui and Sixth Prince on behalf of Second Emperor Brother."

The second prince was slightly startled, he wanted to take this opportunity to find a chance to be alone, and try to devour Shang Xin, but Shang Xin obviously didn't want to follow him.As soon as the words were spoken, he had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "Since the third brother has already been to the mother's side, that's all. It just so happens that the third brother can accompany Prince Mingrui and His Royal Highness the sixth prince on his behalf. .”

After all, the second prince could only take Mengdang towards the queen unwillingly, but Mengdang, who was only following behind the second prince, was slightly relieved. This old ancestor is becoming more and more difficult to serve now. If he really wants to attack the third prince in this crowded place, the ancestor is of course not afraid of anything. If he is not careful, he will easily become a scapegoat. At that time, he will lose his life before he can enjoy the glory and wealth. That's not worth the money.

Shang Xin looked at the direction the second prince was leaving before turning his head to leave, but seeing Daxian still standing there, "What's wrong?"

"That old ghost's anger is getting stronger and stronger." Daxian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the back of the second prince, with a faint murderous look on his face.

Shang Xin also frowned when he heard this, but he is a complete layman in such things involving ghosts and gods.

"If this continues, will you not be able to beat him?" Shang Xin began to worry.

"That's not the case, it's just a lot of effort, and..." Daxian stopped talking with a somewhat unsightly expression, Shang Xin looked at him a little puzzled, and wanted to hear him continue, but Daxian turned his head, Refused to continue explaining.

Seeing that the Great Immortal stopped talking, Shang Xin thought for a while: "No matter what, I can't let him eat like this anymore. We were too far away before, and now that we're back in the palace, we can't let him do whatever he wants. eat human."

"It's easy to kill, but it's not easy to not kill." Daxian touched his round chin and felt a little headache.

Prince Mingrui led his younger brother to walk in front, and noticed that Shang Xin was not walking forward with him, so he looked back strangely.At this moment, a timid hand put on his arm.

"Brother Prince."

"Ming Xu, let go of your hand!"

"Brother Prince." The sixth prince heard the stern tone of Prince Mingrui, and the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Ming Xu, take back your tears. This is Daxia, and you are the sixth prince of my Daliang. If you cry here, you will only become a shame to my Daliang and a laughing stock of Daxia. Do you live a life of being ridiculed every day here?" At this time, Mingrui sincerely regrets the indulgence of Mingxu these years. Such a prince really poses no threat to him, but when he is placed as a proton in Daxia, he makes him Feel deeply uneasy.

Shang Xin brought the Great Immortal over, and saw that Prince Mingrui's complexion seemed a bit unsightly, and the sixth prince's eye circles were still a little reddish, he was concerned in his heart, but he could only pretend he didn't see it politely.

"His Royal Highness, Sixth Prince, why don't we go over there and have a look. I heard that there is a green plum planted there, which is very rare."

"Oh? That's really a rare thing. Go and see it later."

The fourth prince wrote a poem about plums that the gunner had prepared in advance for him in public, and walked out of the warm pavilion with a smile amidst praises like "the fourth prince is really a genius" and "the fourth prince is really talented".

"Is Xiao Shan here today too?" As soon as he left the warm pavilion, he couldn't wait to ask the attendant beside him.

"Here, here, I've inquired about him, he is Fulin's distant nephew, he came in through Fulin's route a few days ago, once he came in, Fulin took him to Yongshan Palace, and then followed the third prince all the time. "

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and a wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "No wonder I never heard that the coffin son has attacked any court lady, but he likes this kind of thing."

However, when he thought of the delicate waist and fair face of that little eunuch named Xiaoshan, his heart burned as if caught by a cat, and he wished he could take him back to his room immediately and play with him. For a while, he must be beaten to death, crying and begging him for mercy.

"See if there is any way to find him a chance to be alone." The fourth prince winked at the valet, and the valet immediately understood.

Shang Xin accompanied the Prince Mingrui and the Sixth Prince towards the direction where the crowd gathered, and soon came to the rumored location of Lvmei.

There is only one green plum, but there are many people. We are not ordinary people, so we naturally know that no matter how rare something is, it is not worth doing a disrespectful act on such an occasion, so everyone is very conscious, or just far away. Or just take a close look for a while, and then walk away quickly.Therefore, although there are many people near the plum tree, they are not so crowded that they cannot walk.

Daxian closely followed Shang Xin's left hand, only half a step behind. Seeing that Prince Mingrui and the Sixth Prince's attention was attracted by those talented men and beauties, Shang Xin suddenly turned his head to look at Daxian, and then suddenly turned his left hand to With the back hanging down, where the wide sleeves covered, he very precisely held Daxian's hand firmly.

Daxian froze for a moment, looked at Shang Xin holding his hand, looked up at Shang Xin, but saw that he looked nonchalant, so he also pretended to be nonchalant and let Shang Xin lead him away.

A Dong and Wan Ji followed closely behind his Highness. Even if the petty movements between Daxian and Shangxin could be hidden from everyone, they could not be hidden from their eyes. A Dong raised his head and looked at the sky, but Wan Ji stared at his own His Highness and Daxian stared blankly at the place where the sleeves of each other were hanging down for a while, and the two suddenly moved their bodies in a tacit understanding, one left and one right firmly blocking the position where Shang Xin and Daxian were holding hands.

But at this moment, there was a commotion, but it turned out that it was the Empress Empress bringing some noble ladies over.

According to the etiquette, Shang Xin must take Prince Liang Guomingrui and the sixth prince to greet the empress.

And at this moment, several people in the crowd exchanged glances with each other, the opportunity has come!
