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

Empress Hesheli, who was surrounded by guards and came from a distance, panicked when she heard Kangxi's exclamation. She quickened her pace and ran all the way to Kangxi's side.

She looked left and right but didn't see Cheng Hu's figure, her heart sank suddenly, and she couldn't control her nervousness and shouted loudly: "Cheng Hu? Cheng Hu!"

If Cheng Hu disappeared here... Yinfengmao couldn't even think about what would happen next, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!Yinfeng cat looked around, trying to find that little figure, Kangxi immediately sent guards, asking them to go to Shuntian Mansion immediately to send personnel to blockade the entire capital!

"Ama, Erniang, I'm here!" Just as the empress and the guards were in a mess, suddenly, a small head stuck out from the crowd not far away, blinking at the two and the cat, It was Cheng Hu who everyone had searched for!

The Yinfeng cat's eyes were wide open, and it rushed forward impatiently, its front paws resting on Chenghu's clothes, and it meowed loudly.

"...?" Cheng Hu was a little dazed, and subconsciously hugged Yinfeng Cat's front paws to lift him from the ground, tilted his head and looked up at Kangxi and Queen Hesheli who were rushing towards him.

"You idiot, what if you get lost while running around by yourself?"

"What the hell are you doing, you idiot?"

Kangxi and Empress Hesheli, you said idiot and I said idiot, which made Cheng Hu stupid!

He hadn't realized that he had made a mistake yet, so he pouted and wanted to protest, but he didn't expect that the common people who were nearby also said: "Young master, there are so many thieves outside now, so be careful!"

"Yeah, I heard that Dongdaemun sells candied haws, and that's how their three children got separated!"

"That's right, there are also in the village where I used to live!"

"Young master, if you get lost, you won't be able to see your parents!"

Cheng Hu was in a daze, and from the expressions of Kangxi and Empress Hesheli, he also saw the bad influence caused by his escape just now, and immediately shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head, and responded obediently: "Ama, Er Niang, I'm sorry! It's all me. My mistake, I will definitely not make it next time!"

"Is there another time?" Kangxi raised his voice.

"No more!" Cheng Hu quickly waved his hand.

Only then did Kangxi suppress his anger, and he didn't dare to take Chenghu to squeeze around in the crowd after this incident, just in case he got lost - thinking of this eventuality, Kangxi's heart beat A shiver!

But if he wanted to go back to the palace directly, Cheng Hu was naturally unwilling.He rolled his eyeballs and looked around, and he sat down on the ground and started crying like a kid in another house clamoring for snacks.

Kangxi had never seen Chenghu like this before, and he was angry and funny for a while.Seeing more and more common people around him, he could only lift Chenghu up from the ground angrily, and led a group of people to the busiest restaurant in the square, and chose a good seat by the window for Chenghu to sit. Take a peek here.

"Are you satisfied now?" Kangxi said angrily, raised his head and complained to the queen: "I——I think it's better to separate Cheng Qing from him when we get back! I've learned all the good things and not the bad ones, and then I'll go back to you." If I go down, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fuss on the ground!"

Queen Hesheli covered her lips and snickered: "Chenghu is only three years old, so it's normal to make trouble!"

"Lovely mothers, I'm talking about you!" Kangxi snorted, not bothering to pay attention to the eccentric queen, and hurriedly asked Liang Jiugong to call the mistress to serve them some appetizers, intending to relax while watching the night view.

How can sitting on the top be as fun as being below?

It's a pity that Chenghu knew that he made a mistake, so he didn't dare to make other demands, for fear that Kangxi would take him back to the palace in a moment of anger, so he had to turn his mouth so high that he could put an oil bottle on it!

He was holding the window with both hands, watching the people coming and going outside the window intently, the word envy almost popped out in his eyes!

It's a pity that no matter Kangxi, Empress Hesheli or Yinfengmao were frightened by him this time, facing Chenghu's pitiful little eyes, the two of them and the cat were not at all tempted.The emperor and the empress were having private conversations over drinks. As for the Yinfeng cat, who was playing with a small toy that he had bought from the busy market earlier, he looked at Chenghu from time to time, so as to prevent this guy from running away without his noticing!

"Hey..." Cheng Hu glanced around, and let out a long, old-fashioned sigh while holding his chin.

His cheeks puffed up angrily, and he tilted his head to look at the bustling night market outside, and soon the noise below caught his attention, and he yelled curiously: "Ama, Ama! What is that?"

Kangxi turned his head and looked: "This is a high platform for praying, and there are portraits of the three officials on it. Everyone will perform prayers here, bless the heavenly officials to bless, the earth officials to forgive sins, and the water officials to relieve danger."

"No! It's over there!" Cheng Hu stretched out his little finger and pointed to the distance.

Kangxi looked along the place Cheng Hu pointed, and saw countless colorful paper lanterns hanging in a long alley surrounded by groups of pedestrians. He squinted his eyes to observe carefully, and hesitated for a moment before speaking. : "I'm afraid this is guessing lantern riddles?"

"But the streets here are also guessing lantern riddles, why are there so few people in the alleys over there?"

"Young master." Xiaoer who brought up the snacks shouted cheerfully: "It's not the same!"

"Oh?" Kangxi became interested: "What's different?"

"The Lantern Riddle Fair is also held in this alley, but...you have to guess [-] lantern riddles in the street outside before you can enter! Does Uncle Guo know? The winner will not only get a large sum of money, but also enter Tong Jia's mansion to enjoy the imperial lanterns from the palace!"

"Oh..." Cheng Hu suddenly lost interest.It's not that there are as many lanterns in the palace as they want, and what they want more is some fresh ones.

Empress Hesheli's eyes trembled violently, subconsciously sneaking a look at Kangxi's expression.

Xiao Er was very envious, and didn't notice the strange reaction of the people at the table. He slammed his mouth and said melancholy: "The little one also wants to go and see—"

"Come on! Just Li Xiaoer, didn't you guess three?" The guests at the next table seemed to be regulars, patting the table and laughing.

"Tch, you speak as if you have guessed how much!"

Li Xiaoer held his head up and held his chest high, not feeling embarrassed at all: "I only know a few words, so it's pretty good if I can guess it!"

After returning to the words on the table, Li Xiaoer happily turned to Kangxi and said, "I'm afraid the young master is too young, but if you are interested, master, you can try it!"

Cheng Hu suddenly became unhappy, and he sat up straight and straightened his back: "What is Ben-ah——Young Master Ben is too young? Let me tell you that I can guess riddles!"

"Pull it down, young master—" Before Xiao Er could speak, the group of booing guests laughed out of drunkenness, and a man at the head gestured with his fingers: "Young master, you still want to be like a bean! Want to participate in the competition? There are only literati and bachelors here, just you...you should ask your master to win you a lantern!"

"Hmm!" Cheng Hu's face was red with anger, he clenched his hands into small fists, and looked at Kangxi staringly: "Ama, Ama! Take your son to guess the lantern riddles! I haven't guessed it this Lantern Festival." How can lantern riddles be considered as a Lantern Festival?"

"No, no." Kangxi waved his hand.He glanced dissatisfied at the guests who were still booing, and reached out to hold Cheng Hu's little head: "Wait a few more years——"

"Ama——Ama——Ama! They all said that, how could Chenghu not participate!? Chenghu is going to participate! Get the lantern and throw it in their faces!" Chenghu jumped off the stool, Like a boneless caterpillar resting softly on Kangxi's knee, the big round eyes exuded a cute light, trying to arouse Kangxi's sympathy.

Puchipuchi laughter came out from the mouths of the surrounding guests, several men were laughing so hard that even the guards hiding in the corner couldn't help laughing.

"...No." Kangxi's face was black, and he hesitated for a moment or refused.

Cheng Hu turned his head and moved the attack target to the Yinfeng cat.

... Yinfeng cat couldn't see Chenghu's pitiful appearance, he surrendered with both hands helplessly and let Chenghu pick him up and put him in front of him, one person and one cat looked at Kangxi in the same posture, tilting their heads and meowing.

... Kangxi's shameful heart moved: "Then, then..."

"Ahem." Queen Hesheli coughed.

Kangxi closed his mouth, coughed, and blinked: I have to ask your mother-in-law!

"Emiang——" Cheng Hu immediately changed the object, and pitifully tugged at the corner of Queen Hesheli's robe and said in a childlike voice: "Emiang, can you just let son——son go? I will definitely do it this time. Be obedient!"

"Meow meow~" Yinrong cat also meowed in agreement.

"Er Niang~" Cheng Hu rolled his eyes, quickly climbed onto the small bench, and pressed Empress Hesheli's shoulder with his fat little hands: "Er Niang, look at me, I'm so good!"

Empress Hesheli enjoyed Cheng Hu's service, and hummed with one eye closed: "Okay, okay, sit down! Er Niang agreed this time."

"Really!?" Cheng Hu jumped up excitedly, fortunately Kangxi grabbed his robe, otherwise he would have to fall to the ground.

"Chenghu—" Kangxi scowled.

Cheng Hu quickly stood up obediently, grabbed Kangxi's hand and tried to leave: "Let's go, or else the lantern riddle guessing will be over!"

At the end, when he reached the stairs, he pointed at the guests in the building angrily and shouted: "You wait, I will get No.1 and throw it in your face!"

Kangxi's stern face didn't last for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Cheng Hu stared at the 'traitor' Kangxi, who had no choice but to wave his hands and beg for mercy before letting him go.

But holding Chenghu's hand is quite flattering, who made Kangxi also hope that Chenghu could act like a spoiled child to him... cough cough!When he was in the palace, of course he hoped that Cheng Hu could behave like a prince, but now... he is outside after all.

Holding Chenghu's hand cheerfully, holding the Yinfeng cat in his arms, Kangxi took to the streets like a silly father that can be seen everywhere. Many people squatted in front of a lantern, thinking hard.

"Chenghu, you asked to participate in this yourself, so Ama won't help!" Kangxi looked at this scene, his eyes rolled and he suddenly had a bad idea.

Cheng Hu snorted: "The son naturally depends on himself!"

"Meow!" Yinfeng Mao couldn't bear to show weakness, he kicked Kangxi who was bullying his son, and jumped into Chenghu's arms, one person and one cat stared intently at the lantern riddle on the top with big round eyes.

This scene inevitably attracted everyone's attention.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kangxi and his party are either rich or noble, but who knows that today is the eve of the Lantern Festival, and there are too many dignitaries and dignitaries who came out to enjoy the lanterns in these two days, and Kangxi and his party are not conspicuous among them.

In addition, the little Chenghu steamed stuffed bun is snowy and tender, and its stern movements are not to mention how cute. The onlookers on the side are either booing or cheering, and they are very tolerant towards this little carrot head that can barely reach the knees.

"Chenghu, come on!" Kangxi bent down and patted his son on the shoulder, and stood beside him with a smile on his chest, watching the excitement.

There are simple and difficult riddles for lantern riddles. For example, hearing the bell in a foreign land after autumn is a word for "final". Chenghu guessed more than twenty riddles in a row, which immediately aroused the interest of the onlookers, and many ordinary people who originally planned to leave stopped. Step down, gather around Kangxi and his party, watching excitedly as the little Chenghu guesses one answer after another.

"This kid is so good!"

"I don't know whose family's child is so smart!"

As the end drew closer and closer, the onlookers were admiring and cheering. Even the steward who was counting next to him shouted the numbers loudly. When the No. 30 guess was correct, there was a burst of applause from around.

It was only at this time that Cheng Hu came back to his senses, his round face was flushed red, even his earlobes were red!

As for Kangxi, Empress Hesheli and Yinfeng Mao, they are all proud of it. People who don’t know think they are the three of them guessing right!

"So cute!"

"Young master, come on!"

When Kangxi and his party followed the steward to the alley, these unqualified ordinary people could only reluctantly wave goodbye.Entering the alley, a group of people immediately found that the difficulty of the lantern riddles here has increased a lot. Cheng Hu's speed this time is not a bit slower than the last time, and he often has to think for a long time before he can figure it out.

What's more, the lantern riddle guessers in this alley have to guess every single lantern!Most of the people around were young men and women in their teens or twenties. Seeing children like Cheng Hu speculate, they immediately raised their hearts. It would be fine if they lost to others. If they lost to such a child...

These young scribes swallowed their saliva in unison, and this time they had to use [-]% of their strength, [-]% of their strength, and must guess before Cheng Hu finished guessing.

Yinfeng Mao shivered and turned his head to look around, only to see a cluster of fires appearing behind all the people present. To express it in one sentence, that is: the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return ...

etc!Are you going to battle?

Just guess a lantern riddle...

Those who had finished guessing were relieved, and they all stood beside Chenghu, cheering Chenghu up, while looking around at the remaining scholars who hadn't finished guessing, gloating over their misfortune.

Whoever loses, his name will be posted in the circle of literati outside tomorrow!

They know it, and those who haven't guessed it all know it too!They all seized the time to think desperately, but unfortunately, the more impatient they were, the more they couldn't complete the lantern riddles.After coming and going, five or six literati were overtaken by Cheng Hu. Their faces were pale, and they covered their faces and walked away after being hit badly. As Cheng Hu guessed, they really succeeded in the end!

"Young master is so amazing!" The counting steward was really taken aback. There were a few lantern riddles with unusual difficulty, and even adults could not guess many of them.

"Awesome, ah, ah!"

"Whose family is this young master? I've never heard of it?"

The literati who also guessed all the lantern riddles praised and celebrated, Cheng Hu was very proud in his heart, but his face was still very calm and majestic, not knowing that such an appearance would cause waves of amazement in the eyes of the onlookers.

Kangxi was very satisfied, not to mention the simple first round, it is not ordinary to pass the second round, if it is the calculation speed, I am afraid that few of the literati present are faster than Cheng Hu's speed!

With the compliments from the people around him, the smile on Kangxi's face became brighter and brighter. His big white teeth were exposed majestically, and he happily followed behind Chenghu, watching him pretending to be steady, almost walking in with his hands and feet. go.

Yinfeng Mao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he suddenly understood the source of his brothers' envy and hatred for him: If he was really an ordinary child, seeing Cheng Hu's intelligence beyond ordinary people, what would he do? Performance?

What's more, although Chenghu is highly talented, he also put in a lot of hard work. After he has memorized the books thoroughly, he will analyze and judge word by word, and ask various questions. The attitude does not know how hard it is.

Thinking of this, the trace of jealousy in Yinfengmao's heart dissipated, and a sense of pride arose in his heart again. He raised his tail, swaggered behind, and followed the crowd to the third round of lantern riddles.

A group of people walked into the courtyard, and the lantern riddles for this game were placed in the garden. There were not many of them, but all of them were carefully selected.

The steward stood at the front with a smile and cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, this third round is a time-limited round. You need to guess fifteen questions in one stick of incense time. If you guess all of them, you can go to the study rooms on both sides to place a lot of rare questions." The books, calligraphy and paintings are for everyone present to appreciate and read. Of course, if you don’t finish guessing, don’t be sad, you can go into the backyard to watch the imperial lanterns in the palace.”

Hearing these words, the students who hadn't had much strength before immediately beamed with joy, and each of them put on all their strength and stared at the movements of the servants behind the steward.

And Kangxi and Empress Hesheli also suddenly realized that this quiz meeting that attracted many students was probably not to enjoy the lanterns as the waiter in the restaurant said, but to let people have a look at the rare books. Calligraphy and painting.

The steward took two steps back, waved his hand, and the lantern riddle fell down.

Kangxi and Queen Hesheli glanced twice, Yinfeng cat squinted his eyes, and both of them sighed together.

Sure enough, Cheng Hu's small face was wrinkled into a ball, and he couldn't guess any of them.

The fastest guess was a young literati in his early thirties. He stroked the long beard on his chin, squatted down and patted Cheng Hu's shoulder: "Young master is still young, these things don't understand It’s a common thing, so don’t worry about it.”

The two of them smiled at the same time.

That's right, the previous riddles were all about guessing words and poems, but in the third game, they all turned into guessing place names, guessing common things, and even some involving the relationship between men and women... A three-year-old kid, no matter how smart he is, he will definitely I do not know!

Time passed by every minute and every second, and sure enough, when the stick of incense was burned, Cheng Hu didn't guess a single one, his whole body was sluggish, his head seemed to be staring at the layers of haze, and obvious annoyance appeared on his face.

Everyone around was also very sorry, and they all sighed.

"Okay, okay, Chenghu, you are already very good!" Kangxi squatted down, smiled and put his arms around the sullen Chenghu and said: "Look here, everyone is many years older than you! Wait for you When we grow up, let's guess the lantern riddles again, and we must win the first place, okay?"

"...Well." Cheng Hu was sullen, and reluctantly gave Kangxi a smile: "Ama will also come at that time... Let's guess together, shall we?"

"Okay." Kangxi said with a gentle smile.

Now that it was over, and everyone was not interested in the imperial lantern, the group turned around and left the house before going back to the palace.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the gate, the steward hurried over, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Several distinguished guests, my master, please stay for a moment."

Kangxi was just about to wave his hand to refuse, but unexpectedly a figure appeared not far away and cupped his hands to signal, Kangxi squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but tighten Chenghu's hand: "Let's go."

After entering the main room and walking straight into the study, the man landed on one knee: "Slave Tong Guogang pays respects to the emperor."

"Uncle, why be so polite." Kangxi stretched out his hand to support Tong Guogang, and then pushed Chenghu forward: "This is the second elder brother."

"My servant greets the second elder brother." Tong Guogang, who is less than 40 years old, has a handsome face, and his brows are vaguely similar to Kangxi. Smarter than ordinary people, I always thought it was a rumor, but now I see it is a slave who is arrogant, and the frog at the bottom of the well doesn't know how big the sky is outside."

Kangxi nodded with a smile. He was very satisfied with Chenghu's praise. After pulling Tong Guogang to sit down, he asked with a smile, "Why did uncle hold this lantern riddle party?"

Tong Guogang blushed, coughed and couldn't help nagging about the nephews at home. There are too many nephews and it is not easy to go out. He simply made a riddle in the place under his jurisdiction, which would make a few children play and make a fuss some.

In the end, he once again looked at Cheng Hu who was sitting on the side neatly, playing a game of you and me with Yinfeng cat, and sighed: "It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor was in such a good mood today, that he brought the second elder brother Let's go shopping together."

"I've been troubled too much." Kangxi sighed, and asked curiously after changing the subject: "According to uncle, how many cousins ​​are here?"

"Yes, the slave's son Orondai, nephews Ye Keshu, Dekexin and two nieces are all here."

"Oh? Since we're here, let me have a look at them." Kangxi said with a smile, not noticing that Empress Hesheli's gaze turned cold, and she stared at the gate calmly and silently.

Yinfeng Mao noticed the change in the atmosphere, he stopped his movements and meowed, holding Chenghu's cuff in his mouth to signal him to stand beside Queen Hesheli, and then looked out of the house like Queen Hesheli.

Queen Hesheli and Yinfeng Mao watched the group of people walk into the study quietly, and their eyes fell on the girl as quickly as possible.

Tong Jia and Jing.

The author has something to say: Brothers, why are you more ruthless than me?

Isn’t it just stuck, you just sentenced our little baby Chenghu to death (bushi)

Seeing the comments, I was so scared that the melons in my hands dropped!
