rebirth will be hard to find

It is easy to hide some secrets from outsiders, but it is somewhat difficult to hide some secrets from people around you day and night.

The doubt in Cheng Zian's eyes naturally failed to hide from Heimiao's eyes, she obediently lay in Cheng Zian's arms, tilted her head in doubt, her golden cat eyes were full of doubt and innocence.

Fortunately, Cheng Zian just glanced at Hei Miao with that doubtful gaze, and seeing her innocent appearance, he habitually reached out and stroked Hei Miao's fur: "Xiao Hei, what are you doing today? woke up so early?"

When the crisis was resolved, Hei Miao squinted her eyes and relaxed her body, allowing Cheng Zian to help her lightly stroke her fur, and by the way gave a soft "meow", which was not considered a response.After hearing this, Cheng Zian's expression softened a bit, but he kept stroking his hair.

As a result, between one person and one cat, the weird atmosphere that was tense at that moment before was instantly broken, and the harmony of the past was restored.But that seemingly lazy black cat has already begun to be vigilant - the doubt in Cheng Zian's eyes is not accidental, and she will show doubts about a cat, which can remind Chu Yi There is only one thing, and that is the secret of her unstable soul!

Cheng Zian has always been a careful person. They have been together day and night for two and a half years, and there are many things that cannot be covered up.Hei Miao never showed many flaws, and Cheng Zian never said anything, but that didn't mean she wouldn't keep it in her heart, thinking about it secretly.

For example, in the past few days, Heimiao has behaved abnormally one after another.Not to mention that just now Li Lin said "Your Highness was drunk and was brought back", just a few days ago, she fell asleep late at night because of preparing the Longevity Picture, and woke up on the cat in the middle of the night, which naturally alarmed Cheng Zian.And Qiyunxuan is very close to her bedroom, and her bedroom has the habit of turning off the lights after she falls asleep, so it's not a secret when she rests...

Chu Yi felt that when she woke up tomorrow, she had to tell Zhang Dai not to go to bed at night and not to turn off the lights on time!Although her secret was unbelievable, she was really afraid that if Cheng Zi'an had rich associations, he would come up with something!

Because of the sudden appearance of Hei Miao, what Li Lin was going to say was interrupted. Now that nothing happened, he continued to speak: "Zian, guess what happened in Xuande Palace today?"

Cheng Zian held Hei Miao in one hand, and continued to stroke Hei Miao's fur with the other. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Lin: "I didn't go out to inquire, how do I know?"

Li Lin didn't give a damn, and smiled when he got the answer: "There are quite a few big dramas in the Xuande Palace today! I heard people say that King Qi, King Zhao and King Wei were all demoted, and King Qi was demoted directly." Jue, became the king of Changping County."

Although the two of them are only accompanying students and have not entered the court yet, considering their backgrounds, it is only a matter of time before they step into the court.Therefore, when Li Lin had nothing to do, he would inquire about the affairs of the court, and Cheng Zian would also listen attentively.Occasionally, Li Lin went home when he was resting, and when he came back, he brought news to Cheng Zian that even Chu Yi, who was being taught government affairs by the prince, didn't know.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Cheng Zian's originally casual expression suddenly became serious.She gave Hei Miao a hand that stroked her hair, and asked, "What's going on?"

The Longevity Festival happens every year. Although the old emperor usually doesn't do big things, but because they are all in the palace, he has seen them more than once with Chu Yi.In the past years, it was all calm and peaceful, but this year it is rare to have a big event. How could anyone dare to cause trouble at the palace banquet of the Longevity Festival?

Gossip, of course, has to be shared with someone to be fun.Seeing Cheng Zian's questioning, Li Lin's eyebrows brightened immediately: "Do you still remember the Princess Ningya we met when we went outing in Chashan at the beginning of the month?" He paused, and added as if thinking of something: "By the way, the last time King Qi went to Chonghua Hall to visit His Highness the Crown Prince, our Highness invited the princess to visit the small garden."

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the move secretly. Back then, when King Qi visited the house in person, the news of his intention to marry the Cheng family was not spread.According to the rumors in the capital, the one who tied up with Princess Ning Ya has always been the little prince from Duke Wei's mansion.Cheng Zian didn't tell Li Lin about it, and Li Lin didn't know about it, so he asked this question.

At this moment, Cheng Zian was still not ready to say much. After hearing Li Lin's words, he just frowned slightly and asked, "What does it have to do with her?"

Li Lin heard that Cheng Zian still remembered, so he didn't explain further, and said, "I heard that King Qi presented a pair of dragon fish today, and the limelight was in full swing. Princess Ningya wanted to make something better for her father, so she said A jade-carved birthday peach was presented. That birthday peach was very good, but unfortunately the princess didn’t catch it. In the presence of a large audience, he fell on the Xuande Hall and broke the birthday peach into seven or eight petals..."

Speaking of this, everyone can understand why King Qi was demoted. Many people even thought that the punishment of demotion was the result of the old emperor's lenient.But after Li Lin finished speaking, he laughed "hehe" and asked Cheng Zian, "Zian, do you believe this is an accident?"

Cheng Zian glanced at him and shook his head silently: "The princess cannot walk unsteadily, let alone dare to drop the birthday peach." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then asked: "What about King Zhao and King Wei? gone?"

Li Lin curled his lips, feeling that Cheng Zian's reaction was a little dull, and he also felt a little boring: "It's nothing, it's just that Qin Yushi intervened, and His Majesty didn't deal with it, but let the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai conduct a thorough investigation. .”

Cheng Zian raised his eyebrows after listening, but said: "Okay, let's forget about the gossip, don't get involved."

Li Lin looked at Cheng Zian helplessly, and said quietly: "Can I get involved in the matters of these big men? The old man is well-versed in the Ministry of Industry, and he deals with stone and wood all day long. Which feudal lord has something to do with him?" Can it be involved?"

It was said that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry dealt with stone and wood all day long, that's what Li Lin would say, not to mention Cheng Zian, even the black cat in her arms couldn't help but roll his eyes.But it was only the few words of the two of them, and Chu Yi could hear it. Even Li Lin, who seemed unreliable, could smell the difference from today's events, and knew how to protect himself wisely.

In this way, it is impossible for those vassal kings not to see the old emperor's intentions, so will there be any movement in Beijing next?

Hei Miao was thinking about things on her own, she didn't even know when Li Lin left or when Cheng Zian left the study.When she came to her senses, she realized that she was no longer in the study, but was carried by Cheng Zian all the way to Qiyunxuan, the dining room that was hardly used, and the food was already prepared in the dining room .

A table of light dishes, obviously not specially prepared for a cat.Heimiao subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky outside, but saw the setting sun, obviously it was time for dinner.

The fluffy black tail brushed against Cheng Zian's sleeve and flicked lightly. Looking at the table full of food, Heimiao suddenly became interested.It has been more than two years, and she has had countless meals with Cheng Zian as the princess, but it seems that she has never had the chance to eat with Cheng Zian as a cat!

"Meow——" boy, shall we have dinner together today?

Cheng Zian obviously didn't understand, but seeing Heimiao's eyes glowing with enthusiasm, his mood improved inexplicably.So as soon as he opened his mouth, he responded to Heimiao: "Your Highness is drunk today, so I don't have to go there, Xiao Hei, it's rare for you to wake up so early, let's have dinner together."

Heimiao obviously understood, nodded happily, and patted Cheng Zian's arm with her snow-white paw, as if signaling her to let her down.Cheng Zian didn't think it was different, but when the words fell, she looked at the table top full of dishes, and then at Hei Miao in her arms, but she was a little embarrassed - Xiao He always eats standing on the table , but now that the table is full of dishes, is it really good to put a cat on the table?She won't overturn the dishes and soup pots, will she? !

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Zian put Hei Miao on the stool beside the round table and asked Hei Miao: "Xiao Hei, can you eat here?"

Hei Miao froze for a moment, as a human being, it was unquestionable to sit on a stool to eat, and of course there was nothing wrong with Cheng Zian's arrangement.However, with her small body now... Heimiao straightened her body, stood up, raised her two little paws, and slanted it on the table, and then a small black head emerged from the table. Popping out from the side, the golden cat's eyes turned slightly, looking at the dishes.

It is said that a cat's body is soft, and it looks very small when shrunk up in a ball on weekdays, but it is unexpectedly long when it is straightened.

Cheng Zian glanced at Hei Miao's stretched body that was nearly two feet long, and felt that what she said was true, but looking at Hei Miao's current posture, she felt so awkward!Not only awkward, but also tiring!

Although Xiao Hei seems to be in high spirits, but this way Xiao Hei can't eat at all, right?

Cheng Zian was helpless, she looked at the table full of dishes, Hei Miao didn't even have a place to lay her feet, she couldn't help but muttered about the luxury in the palace, she couldn't finish these dishes by herself!

There was no other way, Cheng Zian, who had already sent away all the palace people, could only roll up his sleeves and build a pile with a few dishes, barely freeing up a space.Then she ignored Heimiao's suspicious eyes, and carried her to the table as usual.

Four paws landed on the table, Heimiao looked at the dishes piled aside, and then at Cheng Zian, who was already sitting down, feeling very strange—usually she didn’t feel anything when she was eating by herself on the table, From the first day she met Cheng Zian, she adapted quickly.But now eating at the same table with Cheng Zian, Cheng Zian is sitting on the stool in a regular manner, but she is standing at the dining table, that feeling is really... indescribable!

Heimiao suddenly became worried. It has been one and a half years since the five years she agreed with Cheng Zian, and she has been doing this cat for almost two and a half years.However, the situation of the indeterminate soul has never changed, and she switches back and forth between the two bodies.There is no problem now, but when the five-year agreement arrives and she really gets married to Cheng Zian, how will she live her life? !

And when that time comes, she won't be able to hide her secret anymore, right?What should Cheng Zian think then?Will she be treated as a monster? !
