[Qing Chuan] After the waste prince is reborn as a cat

Chapter 38 The Strange Case of the Imperial Garden.

The Kunning Palace was not far from the Imperial Garden, and the figures of Queen Hesheli and his party soon appeared outside the Imperial Garden.When the empress came, Kangxi naturally didn't want to sit on the grass and fight around like before. Instead, he ordered people to set up a round table in the pavilion, and took the empress and the royal cat to eat in the pavilion and enjoy the scenery.

After lunch, it is natural to have a light tea, enjoy the intoxicating autumn scenery, and recite poems and Fu by the way.

Kangxi was an emperor at a young age, wise and intelligent beyond ordinary people, while Empress Hesheli was beautiful, intelligent and talented. The two chatted about the scenery for a long time, but they still couldn't get enough, and found that they had a lot in common.

The Yinfeng cat was lying on the chair, flicking its tail hanging to one side, looking contentedly at the scene of harmony and warmth between the emperor and empress before him, filled with pride in his actions: Look!look!This is all a lonely country... Bah!This is a marriage made by solitary matchmaking!

Seeing that no one came out to disturb the Empress, he yawned in peace of mind, squinted his eyes, and planned to take a nap with his little head, but when he was sleepy, he suddenly heard a slight sound in his ear. footsteps.

A cat's sense of hearing is far better than that of a human, and the Yinfeng cat suddenly raised its head and stared at the source of the sound with breathless concentration.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, and outside the gate of the imperial garden, two women dressed as concubines entered slowly.The person on the left, Yinrengmao, knows that she is the future Concubine Hui. Yinrengmao has carefully observed that Concubine Hui Nala is still innocent and charming, seeing how she walks and chatting with the concubine next to her, I can't see the solemn and solemn appearance of the future.

The one on the right is the concubine Guerjia, and this is the first time Yinfengmao has seen it: a small, shiny and snow-white melon-seeded face, with a delicate figure, swaying and graceful when walking.Yinfengmao frowned slightly. If she hadn't come from a common surname in Manchuria, she wouldn't be able to tell that Concubine Guerjiashu was a Manchu noblewoman, but she looked like a Yangzhou skinny horse. Unique among.

Concubine Nala Shu walked into the imperial garden and suddenly realized that the atmosphere around her was not right. She closed her mouth and looked around in a daze, and soon noticed the figures of the emperor and empress in the octagonal pavilion not far away. Her expression changed slightly, subconsciously stop.

What was different from her was that a trace of eagerness flashed in the eyes of Concubine Guarjiashu. She straightened her skirt and raised the corners of her mouth to a suitable angle, but unexpectedly, all her small movements were caught in the eyes of two people and one cat.

Concubine Nalashu hesitated for a while, she secretly thought that something was wrong, but she couldn't leave immediately after walking in, could she?She braced herself, stepped forward with bowed head and brows, and greeted respectfully: "Concubine to the emperor, empress, please greet!"

Concubine Guar Jiashu followed suit and squatted down to pay her respects, and it seemed that the two of them were not equal.Tut tut!A hint of suspicion arose in Yinfengmao's heart, and he stared intently at the two concubines, especially the Guarjia concubine, always vigilant to guard against their actions.

At this moment, Yinfeng Mao smelled a faint fragrance again.

He shrugged his nose for this fragrance, and immediately shivered slightly. No matter how he smelled it, he felt it was the smell of catnip!If it wasn't for the fact that I played with Kangxi just now, I can barely resist it now with my energy, I'm afraid I can't wait to rush forward immediately.

Even so, Yinfeng Mao couldn't help shaking his ears, his pink nose moved up and down, and following the source of the fragrance, he raised his head just in time to meet the eyes of Concubine Guerjiashu.

The Yinrong cat meowed softly and softly.

Concubine Guar Jiashu's eyes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slowly curled into an arc.

……Ha ha!

A stern look flashed in Yinrong's cat's eyes.He shook his ears curiously, flicked his tail, and moved towards Concubine Guer Jiashu.

The joy in Concubine Guarjia's eyebrows and eyes became more and more intense, Yinfeng cat suddenly jumped up with force on its hind legs, and saw Concubine Guarjia's panicked face, looking around in a daze, her hands slightly opened, as if doing a good job I am ready to embrace the Yinfeng cat.

But Yinfeng Mao just kicked on her body and jumped back onto the round table with some strength.Concubine Guerjia exclaimed, her upper body suddenly fell backwards, her hands subconsciously grabbed Concubine Nala.

Concubine Nalashu never expected such a thing to happen, she staggered, gritted her teeth to manage to stabilize her body, but she couldn't stand another burst of gravity from behind, she knelt down on the ground and walked towards the emperor and empress A big gift!

The atmosphere in the arena was stagnant, Concubine Nala Shu's eyes were red, she was in pain, shame and resentment that she had to tear Concubine Guerjia into pieces on the spot!

In the next second, a scream was heard in the ear.

Kangxi, Empress Hesheli and the surrounding palace people stared at the scene with dumbfounded eyes: Concubine Guar Jiashu was not stable, and she relied on Concubine Nala to stabilize her body.However, it only took a second to stand firm, and in the next second, she was hit hard on the waist, and she screamed suddenly, pushing Concubine Nala Shu to the ground, and at the same time she fell to the ground, A pretty face hit the ground directly, with a loud bang.

When Concubine Guar Jiashu raised her head, she saw bright red blood dripping from her nose. Not to mention, there was also a face painted with makeup on the ground.

The Yinfeng cat sat on the ground, stretched out its paws and meowed lazily.

It was the wild cats who had been playing in the imperial garden before, but now the palace has always kept wild cats. They are rounder and rounder than the other, and their weight is increasing day by day, no!Knocked down Guar Jiashu concubine directly!

That’s not to mention, the wild cats are not like the Yinfeng cats that have already been stimulated by catnip. When Concubine Guarjiashu lifted her body, they still pressed their small heads against Concubine Guarjiashu’s body and sniffed here and there. Hearing it, he took out his paws and pawed at her body from time to time.

Concubine Guar Jiashu was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses completely, her face turned blue and white and almost cried on the spot.She stood up and wanted to push away these wild cats, but the heavy blow on her waist made her gasp when she moved slightly, and the expression on her face was terrifying.

Kangxi and Queen Hesheli suppressed their laughter.

But Concubine Guar Jiashu didn't know!She raised her head slightly, and cast a pitiful look at Kangxi for help, with tears in her eyes, longing for a little sympathy from Kangxi.

But... with her current face, I see that the word "You Lian" cannot match her at all!Especially the clear and obvious facial makeup on the ground, Kangxi's impression of her has directly risen to that of a strange concubine.

Pity, no~!

Even seeing her like this, Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and turned his head to the side with a soft pop.

This laugh was a fatal blow to Concubine Guer Jiashu, and all the blood faded from her pretty face.

Queen Hesheli coughed: "Hurry up and help the young masters up!"

The dumbfounded maids panicked and helped Concubine Nala Shu and Concubine Guarjia.Concubine Nala is okay, she just lowered her head and thanked her with a trembling voice. As for Concubine Guarjia, maybe it was because she was in a panic or because Concubine Guarjia was injured too badly. A lot of emoticons.

In the end, Queen Hesheli controlled herself almost by willpower, and she didn't laugh immediately.

Concubine Nala couldn't see how strange the expressions of the people present were, she let her stand on her back, she bowed down, and left in a hurry without even having a chance to talk to the empress. As for Concubine Guerjia... She didn't even give it a glance!

Pooh!Originally, for the sake of being the concubine of the Yanxi Palace, she only took a second look at this Concubine Guarjiashu, but now she has let herself be so humiliated!

Concubine Nala Shu who left in a hurry, naturally did not see the shame, resentment and hatred that flashed in Concubine Guerjia Shu's eyes after she left.

As for Kangxi and Empress Hesheli, the emperor and empress looked at each other, and they had a slight liking for Concubine Nala, who dared to love and hate.

Well, just a tiny bit.

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, and tacitly set labels on the two concubines: Concubine Nala is honest and obedient, as for concubine Guarjia... If she is too scheming and can't do anything, isn't she just a fool? the idiot?

The wild cats meowed and chased after Concubine Guar Jiashu, and they didn't turn their heads until she hurriedly left the imperial garden.Seeing this scene, Empress Hesheli stretched out her hand to caress the Yinfeng cat, and frowned slightly: "What method did this concubine Guar Jiashu use to attract the cats to follow?"

As she said that, she looked down at the majestic Yinfeng cat again, and felt relieved: "It's better that our Yu Mao is smart and knows not to get close to each other."

Kangxi smiled, following the eyes of Empress Hesheli, he also lowered his head and stared at the royal cat, meaningfully: "That is, of course, how can ordinary wild cats compare with our royal cat."

Yinfeng's cat's heart skipped a beat, recalling the catnip balls that Kangxi took out for him to play with in the Qianqing Palace earlier, he was shocked.

Could it be that... Khan Ama knew the actions of Concubine Guar Jiashu, so he did this?

He was puzzled in his heart, but he still maintained the expression of "I'm a cute and innocent kitten who doesn't understand what you're talking about." .

Empress Hesheli stretched out her hand to caress the back of the Yinfeng cat, a little curious: "The emperor knows what concubine Guerjia concubine uses?"

Kangxi nodded: "Catnip."

"Catnip!?" Queen Hesheli was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": mint, cat food is intoxicating, and cat eating mint is like drinking alcohol, but mint is also planted in the concubine's house, but it is not seen. Have you ever had such a big reaction from cats?"

"Catnip is not other mint. The leaves of catnip are thicker than mint leaves, and the leaves have finer hairs. The most important thing is that although catnip is mint, it has no clear fragrance."

Kangxi smiled and added enthusiastically: "As early as the time of Song Gaozong, the poet Lu You mentioned in the cat poem that he was always drunk with mint and occupied every night. It was said that the cat was easily excited after encountering catnip. , as drunk as a human being.”

"This Concubine Nala concubine actually came up with such an idea, I must admire her." Queen Hesheli couldn't help but shook her head.

Kangxi thought it was even more funny: "It's a pity that some people can't make money by stealing chickens. Looking at this injury...the empress should ask someone to give her condolences."

"Your Majesty." Empress Hesheli gave him a reproachful look, then turned her head and told Nanny Xu with a smile: "Send an imperial doctor to the Yanxi Palace to have a look at the young master Guerjia, and then send a copy of my palace's Bai Yuqing wound ointment, give me some condolences."

"Yes." A smile flashed in Xu Nanny's eyes, and she hurriedly retreated.

Not only did Kangxi not stop it, but he seemed to be happy to see it happen. After Madam Xu left, he said cheerfully: "When the spring of next year, the empress will make people plant this catnip in the palace, so that no one else Use such a crooked brain."

"Yes, my concubine understands." Empress Hesheli replied, and stood up with a smile on her arms around the Yinfeng cat: "The concubine will take her leave first."

After this incident, Kangxi also lost interest in the scene before him.

Besides, the imperial garden is only so big, and he has seen all the sights that should be seen. He felt a little melancholy, thinking that he must go to other places to visit in the future, facing the queen's farewell, Kangxi nodded casually: "Retreat. Bar."

After a while, Kangxi came back to his senses.

He stood up abruptly, looking at the queen who left the imperial garden at a faster pace, he couldn't laugh or cry, pointed at the queen's leaving figure and reprimanded angrily: "Liang Jiugong, why didn't you make a sound when the queen took the imperial cat away? "

"This..." Liang Jiugong had a bitter face, how could he dare to say that he was frightened by the empress's blade-like gaze earlier!

But even if he left, Kangxi couldn't rush up to stop the queen in full view, right?

He stared at the queen's figure, and felt that the previous ambiguous atmosphere had all disappeared!

Sure enough, the queen can't get along with me!

……

This time Xu Momo went, not to mention that the whole palace knew about the incident of concubine Nala Shu and Concubine Guerjia being injured in front of the emperor, it also spread to at least half of the palace, and the ridicule was endless.

Concubine Nala, who suffered innocently, felt wronged and hid in the tent for several days without getting sick. On the contrary, Concubine Guarjia was very thick-skinned, and went out again after her waist injury recovered a little. .

For a moment, some people suspected that the one who lost face was not Concubine Guerjia but Concubine Nala?

This day lasted for more than half a month. Seeing the Queen's Qianqiu Festival approaching, the eldest maid Chonglou, who was still unwilling to go out for a while, couldn't bear it anymore: "My lord, if you get sick again, it's hard to be the master's wife!" You didn't show up at the Qianqiu Banquet?"

"..."

"If you don't show up at the Qianqiu banquet, if the mistress gets angry, it will really make you sick, and it will be too late to regret after withdrawing the green card!"

"Without the young master, I would be without the young master! Anyway, I am completely ashamed!" Concubine Nala Shu muttered.

"My lord, when you entered the palace, you liked fish fillets in tomato sauce, braised tofu in oil, rice porridge with red dates...how many days have you not had them?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Chong Lou began to persuade him from another aspect: "The servants in this palace look at the dishes, and now they are just perfunctory with some dishes that the young master doesn't like. Next time, they will be leftovers from cold dishes. If I continue to be so decadent, I might bring the dishes that have passed the night to the little master in the future!"

Concubine Nala Shu was born in Manchuria, and even though her father was only a fifth-rank doctor, she was also born as a delicate young lady. Chonglou's words scared her into a panic.

She sat up in time, with her messy hair on her head, and said in a soft voice: "But it's not like you didn't see it, the emperor laughed at that time!"

"The emperor is laughing at our concubine Guer Jiashu, not you!"

Chonglou chattered: "If it wasn't for the little master Guerjia who gave you a hand, how could you have fallen to the ground? It's good now! The little master Guerjia behaved like nothing happened, and behaved to you every day. Greetings, mistress, mistress, but you are the one who is reluctant to go out because of your injury."

Chonglou saw Concubine Nala's obstinate appearance, and threw another thunderstorm: "It is rumored that you are the fault of the young master, otherwise how could you be sicker than Concubine Jiashu?"

"...What are you talking about?" Concubine Nala Shu's face really changed.

"Little master... what this servant said is absolutely true!" Chonglou held Concubine Nala's hand and persuaded softly: "Our Yanxi Palace can only have one master in the future, what do you say? If the young master Guerjia takes the position..."

"How can concubine Guerjia lose face with the emperor, how can she be the lord of the first palace?" Concubine Nala twitched her lips.

"At least, the emperor must remember Concubine Guar Jiashu in his heart."

Chong Lou shook his head: "This servant thinks that it is better to make the emperor smile than to make the emperor feel bad!"

Concubine Nala was silent for a moment, and her heart sank suddenly: "If concubine Guerjia is allowed to take the throne... I'm afraid there will be no place for my young master to sit in this palace!"

There was a gleam in her eyes, and her willow eyebrows were raised with a stern look: "Chonglou, you hurry up and tell me that my health has improved, and I have to kowtow to the empress tomorrow!"

After a pause, Concubine Nala pulled the handkerchief: "No, I'd better change my clothes, and now go to pay my respects to my mistress! This young master was angry with the Guarjia family, and was beaten by the Guarjia family." Involvement, she still wants to step on this little master to take the position? I am bah!"

"Yes." There was a hint of joy on Chong Lou's face.

A magpie chirped and jumped around the edge of the window, and the master and the servant noticed this scene almost at the same time. Seeing this, Chong Lou smiled and said, "Look, little master! Even the magpies came to cheer us on, You must be right!"

Concubine Nala Shu's eyes lit up, and she nodded with confidence.

The magpie spread its wings and flew high, and soon landed on a tree outside Kunning Palace.Empress Hesheli frowned and looked at the birds of all colors jumping around outside, chirping endlessly, and couldn't help frowning suspiciously: "Why do I think there are more birds in our palace?"

"Not to mention the birds, there are even more wild cats." Madam Xu replied with a smile, "Probably they all came back with the royal cat."

"That's right. I saw that the royal cat was resting at the emperor's place, and there were quite a few birds in the palace." Queen Hesheli nodded, and turned to look at those who were meowing and meowing with the birds. Yinfeng Mao, who was still nodding and shaking his head from time to time, fell into deep thought for an instant.

Look, how does it feel... Does Xiao Sanhua communicate with these birds?

But in an instant, the queen burst out laughing, this kind of conjecture is too absurd.

With a sinking heart, she continued to look at the submission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of her—it was all about the plan to hold the Qianqiu Banquet, and the Empress Dowager handed over all this matter to Empress Hesheli.

A line of court ladies came in and out, measuring the size of the queen to choose materials for new clothes and accessories, and there were also a list of banquets prepared with names and identities with smiles. The Kunning Palace was bustling.

Only Empress Hesheli's expression was not good-looking. She turned over the paperwork in her hand several times, and finally closed it and shook her head: "Return this paperwork to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and let them reduce the process. Keep it simple."

"Mistress, this is your first Qianqiu feast after all." Madam Xu took the booklet with both hands, and couldn't help nagging in a low voice.

"Could it be that the Qianqiu Banquet is made so simple that I'm not the queen anymore?"

Empress Hesheli chuckled: "Besides, the Emperor's last few Longevity Festivals were not extravagant, and the disasters and wars in the dynasty a few years ago have been continuous. As a queen, as a role model for women in the Six Palaces and even the world , it’s a good thing for me to be more simple.”

Nanny Xu opened and closed her mouth, and it took a long time to say: "But you... how wronged you are..."

"Mother, where is this palace wronged?"

Queen Hesheli's face was calm, she turned around and took Xu Momo's hand and said carefully: "You forgot the girls we met on the way to Zhuangzi, we saved this song, but what about the other girls? The government brought people here When it came time to recognize someone, how many of those parents were willing to sell their daughters to survive if they were not desperate? There were even children who said that being a slave is better than not being able to eat."

Madam Xu remained silent.

"I have been pampered and grown up since I was a child, so why have I ever seen the helplessness of the world with my own eyes? Now, as the mother of the country, I can only start from my side. If I can't do big things, I will do small things. I only wish that the emperor can bring peace to the world as soon as possible." , let the common people live in peace and health."

Yinfengmao didn't know when he stopped talking, staring blankly at the empress who spoke frankly, his heart seemed to be pierced severely by sharp knives.

The words in front of him were entangled with Kangxi's angry reprimand to him, he just felt that he couldn't even breathe for a while.

Gu...is he really a good prince?

He asked himself, but it was difficult to spit out a 'yes'.

"The queen is right." A low voice suddenly sounded, and Kangxi pushed the door open and entered.

He looked at Queen Hesheli with complicated eyes, and he was speechless for the throbbing in his heart.

Kangxi's eyes sparkled with emotion, melancholy and joy.He took three steps at a time and hugged Queen Hesheli before he had time to salute, with mixed feelings in his heart: he thought that no one in this world understood him, no one understood him, no one understood what he wanted to do.

But now, for the first time, he realizes that maybe no one in this world understands him but understands what he does. Although no one understands him, they understand the purpose of his actions. Although no one understands him, they know what kind of future he wants. appearance.

queen.

Queen!

"Wen Hui, Wen Hui!" Kangxi's uproarious emotions towards Queen Hesheli reached the peak again several times, and he suddenly hugged Queen Hesheli, who was still a little dazed in front of him, in his arms again and again. He repeated her boudoir name over and over again.

"Emperor, Your Majesty!?" Empress Hesheli's face was flushed red with a touch of color.It took her a long time to push Kangxi away. Looking at Kangxi's fiery eyes, Empress Hesheli trembled slightly. She tried her best to avoid her eyes for a long time before stammering: "Why did you come in without notice?"

Kangxi smiled, but did not answer Queen Hesheli's question.

He avoided people and entered the Kunning Palace. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to see what Empress Hesheli looked like in private.Is it just pretending or the real dignified and virtuous?

Kangxi was young, but he knew the cruelty of people's hearts well in these years, so he was inevitably moved by the queen's words.

After being moved, what came to my mind was the sweet memories of the past few months.

One is intentional, the other is intentional.

The Yinreng cat nestled by the window, quietly watching the scene where the emperor and the empress were sticky and confessing their affection to each other. The magpie chirped and yelled, and after a while, it simply fell from the head and landed on the top of the Yinreng cat's head, pecking at it several times in one breath. Then he let go of his mouth: "Royal cat! Royal cat!"

"What's the matter?" Yinrong cat bared its teeth, and stretched out its paws to poke at the magpie.

"I've finished what I said earlier. Can you give me the promised snacks?" The magpie shook its feathers, frowning: "It's too cold this year, and it's hard to find food."

"Don't worry, Gu is not talking too much? Look at the pastry over there, you can take a piece first! There will be more later." Yinfeng Mao patted his chest, and his eyes suddenly remembered One thing: "You said that Nalashi said that he would come to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the queen in a while?"

"Yes." The magpie shook its hair, and its small round eyes fell on those pastries and couldn't move away.He jumped to the front of the plate, first pecked at the crumbs next to it, and tasted it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he picked up the whole piece of snack with one beak.

"Wait—" Cat Yinfeng glanced at the empress and empress who were chatting happily, and quickly called to the magpie who was about to leave: "You help Gu to send a message to Dabao and the others, and let the wild cat team set off to attract melons as soon as possible." Concubine Erjia came out and stopped Concubine Nala."

The magpie nodded, and easily flew out with the snack in its mouth.

Yinfeng Mao yawned, and slowly looked back at you and me, the emperor and empress, shaking his head secretly in his heart: I have paid too much for this family alone!
