The days when I was a cat in the enemy's palace

"Bam—"

The cup fell with a crisp sound, and the hall was suddenly quiet, and everyone looked at him.After seeing his expression clearly, he carefully raised his eyes to look at the high position.

Chu Yao's expression was condensed, he glanced at the little eunuch coldly, and said, "Back off."

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, turned his head slightly and forgot to look at the queen mother, and stood on the spot with the corners of his mouth pursed, motionless.Eyelids drooped, he raised his eyes tremblingly to see Chu Yao's expression, then quickly lowered his head, feeling a little aggrieved.

The hall fell silent, and the ministers dared not speak.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"

After all, without waiting for Chu Yao to speak, he went on to say: "Your Majesty does not want to accept a concubine, and this palace will not force you. But... this palace follows your heart, what is your majesty not satisfied with?"

Chu Yao said: "You don't have to worry about the lonely matter, the queen mother."

"You said that!" The Queen Mother frowned, "You and Bengong are mother and son, and I should be worried about you. You, what you said really hurt Bengong's heart."

As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.For a moment, the only sound of her sobbing was the only sound in the silent hall.

Chu Yao frowned and glanced at Lin Jing.Lin Jing understood, got up and saluted, and took the lead to retreat.

Not long after, the ministers retreated cleanly, leaving only Chu Yao, the Queen Mother and a few others in the hall.

The four eyes meet, the empress dowager's eyes are reddish, she looks weak, but she doesn't budge an inch.

The little eunuch shrank aside, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence.

Chu Yao's voice was cold: "The Queen Mother thinks, what does the emperor dislike the most?"

Why did you mention this all of a sudden?

The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback, doubts arose in her heart, the late emperor had passed away many years ago, what are you doing to mention the late emperor?

"Have you remembered the Queen Mother?" Chu Yao asked.

Empress Dowager: "I know of course, I don't need you to remind me."

"Really?" Chu Yao said, "Father doesn't like concubines to be regents the most, but in recent days, the empress dowager's behavior... has become more disciplined."

The courtiers persuaded her, the queen mother began to choose a concubine, and the courtiers persuaded...all of them, you don't need to think about it, you know that the queen mother is intervening.

The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty should have urged me to choose a concubine. Why do you say that it is too strict? If I don't worry about it, after a hundred years, I may not even be able to lift my head when I see the late emperor."

Chu Xian's plan was about to succeed, and the Empress Dowager was full of confidence, as if she had already won.The Empress Dowager stroked her temples, and a smile appeared on her red lips, "If Your Majesty blames this palace for this, even if this palace is in front of the late emperor, it is justified."

As the king of a country, Chu Yao did not take concubines, did not share the rain and dew, and gave birth to heirs for the royal family, which is already unfilial, and now he dares to talk about it.

"The empress dowager is right," Chu Yao's lips moved slightly, "You are willing to discuss the explanation in front of the father, so go and accompany the father."

"you!"

The Empress Dowager was astonished, the late emperor had already passed away, so asking her to accompany her, wouldn't it be...

The complexion changed again and again, the queen mother shouted: "You dare! If you dare to touch my palace, Xian'er will not let you go!"

"You don't have to be afraid, the Queen Mother," Chu Yao said, "You urged Concubine Gu Na to become the Queen Mother, but Gu has already figured it out and decided to become the Queen Mother. I just want to trouble you to take a trip to the Imperial Mausoleum of the Father and bring a message."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, but was anxious and puzzled, "Who do you want to be queen?"

Chu Yao didn't answer, turned his head slightly, and looked down.

Just now after the courtiers retreated, the seats where people were still sitting became empty, and there was no sign of Yu Tao.

Chu Yao frowned slightly, and said calmly: "You will know later."

"It's just a trek along the way to the imperial mausoleum, and I hope the queen mother will leave sooner."

The empress dowager's brows were upside down, she was about to refuse, the imperial tomb is far away from the capital, the location is said to be a place of geomantic omen, but it is deserted, except for the soldiers guarding the imperial tomb, there is no one else.

However, Chu Yao seemed to see through her mind, and said lightly: "The queen mother recently brought a mature man into the palace, why?"

The queen mother was stunned, "I claim to be worthy of the late emperor and have never done anything inappropriate. Your Majesty must not talk nonsense."

"Of course not," Chu Yao said, "It's just that... the historian recorded truthfully, what you did is just a faint stroke in the history books, not worth mentioning."

"If you like it, let them accompany you on this trip."

After all, no matter what the Queen Mother looked like, Chu Yao went straight out of the hall.

Tao Tao was still there just now, how could he run away after a few words?

"His Majesty--!"

A little thin eunuch ran over, Chu Yao recognized him, he was someone beside Chu Ting.

Chu Yao: "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch tremblingly said: "My lord has accompanied the fifth prince out of the palace, let the slave wait for you here and tell you the news."

...going out of the palace?

Chu Yao paused, changed into ordinary clothes and left the palace.

In that room, ever since the little eunuch who looked a little like him appeared at the banquet, Yu Tao pursed the corners of his lips and remained silent.

Chu Ting followed him step by step, wherever Yu Tao went, he would go there.Looking secretly at Yu Tao's expression, Chu Ting thought to himself, Chu Yao was cheating him, obviously he made Tao Tao unhappy, but he guarded it tremblingly, for fear that Yu Tao would feel aggrieved, overwhelmed, and at odds The emperor is together.

"Tao Tao..."

Chu Ting's voice was a little weak, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was the brother of Chu Yao's compatriots, and he needed to contribute to his happiness.Having made enough mental preparations, Chu Ting patted his chest and said, "Tao Tao, if you are unhappy, you can tell me."

Yu Tao glanced at him, then quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Tao Tao, don't ignore me," Chu Ting also quickened his pace, "You feel uncomfortable, I will accompany you to feel uncomfortable, you want to scold Brother Huang... I, too, can scold with you!"

Yu Tao said sullenly: "Don't scold him."

When he stayed by Chu Yao's side as a cat, he had already learned the Queen Mother's temperament of creating something out of nothing and looking for trouble for nothing. This time... it should be the same.

Chu Yao told him that he would not accept a concubine, and he believed it.

It's just... when he suddenly saw someone else standing beside Chu Yao, he felt... very sad.He didn't want Chu Yao to be coveted by others, he only wanted Chu Yao to belong to him alone.

"...Ah? Don't scold..." Chu Ting said, "Okay, okay, if you don't scold, I will vent your anger for you?"

Yu Tao: "You are not allowed to scold."

"Okay." Chu Ting closed his mouth and followed him forward. The shops along the way were very familiar. Chu Ting asked, "To Duobao Pavilion?"

Yu Tao: "Yes."

Chu Ting clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Duobao Pavilion... to get the covenant finger?"

Isn't this asking knowingly?Yu Tao: "...um."

Chu Ting chuckled, "Tao Tao, do you know what Yue Zhi represents?"

Yu Tao paused, and under the night, his ears were quietly stained red.

When it was decided, he just thought it looked good.Chu Yao's knuckles are slender, it must look good after wearing it.It's just that he didn't expect that a small appointment finger could have so many meanings.

About refers to the name of about.A promise is made, and there is no obstacle in the mountains. The meaning represented by this makes people feel at ease and heavy.

In Dachu, it means that only husband and wife can wear it, and matching it means being loyal to each other.Since Yu Tao knew the meaning implied by the date finger, he observed the person with the date finger intentionally or unintentionally.From the civil and military officials to the common people in Liming, almost no one takes them.

Most men love three wives and four concubines, so how could they cut their own way for one person?

Yu Tao suppressed the thoughts in his heart, no matter whether others take it or not... When he takes the contract finger, he must bring it to Chu Yao.Regardless of whether he is acting like a spoiled child, coercing and seducing... Anyway, I have to wear it for him.

If Chu Yao doesn't follow...Yu Tao has also thought of a way.Contact father and tie him to Great Liang!

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Ting smiled, "Do you want me to answer it for you?"

Yu Tao: "...No need."

Chu Ting joked with him from time to time, said a few words, and arrived at Duobao Pavilion in a short while.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was Yu Tao, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him into the Duobao Pavilion, "My lord, the words you ordered have already been engraved by the master, and they were delivered two days ago, just waiting for you to pick them up." .”

While speaking, he took out a small and exquisite box and presented it to Yu Tao.

Yu Tao thanked him, took it and opened the box.The pair of covenant fingers placed inside are the same as before, but the inner wall of the covenant fingers has another mystery.

There are characters carved on the inner wall, the font is very small, but if you look carefully, you can still see the name written in Xiaozhuan.One was written about him, and the other was written about Chu Yao.

In addition to the lettering, the pattern on the surface is also different.Yu Tao studied for a while, then closed the box and hid it in his arms.

Chu Ting took a folding fan, swished it open, fanned it gracefully, and raised an eyebrow at Yu Tao, "Let's go?"

They went out of Duobao Pavilion together, Yu Tao touched his chest from time to time and pursed the corners of his mouth.Chu Ting couldn't help but want to tease him a few words, but he was afraid that it would make Yu Tao feel uncomfortable, so he talked about other messy topics, talking to Yu Tao from time to time.Even so, Yu Tao's attention was not on him.

The night is fading, and the red lanterns on the street emit a warm yellow light.Pedestrians are bustling, very lively.Standing behind the crowd, Chu Yao finally saw Yu Tao's figure.

He held the thing carefully, focusing all his attention on it.Talk to Chu Ting from time to time, but obviously not in the mood.

Chu Yao took a step, passed through the crowd, and walked towards him.

Chu Ting was talking to Yu Tao, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Chu Yao coming.Chu Ting paused, stopped, and did not remind Yu Tao, who was paying attention elsewhere, and let him go forward by himself.

Until——Yu Tao bumped into a wall-like chest, the tip of his nose became sore, and he took a step back, "I'm sorry...stop."

Yu Tao raised his eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and all the words that hadn't been uttered disappeared in his throat.

"You, why are you here?" Yu Tao held his nose and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Come to find you."

"...Mmm." Yu Tao responded softly, feeling that his ears seemed to be getting redder.

"Let's go."

Chu Yao took Yu Tao's hand, and the wide sleeves covered the two hands. From outsiders' eyes, they were just getting closer.

Chu Yao held Yu Tao with one hand and put the other behind his back, reminding him, "You have something to give me."

Yu Tao lowered his head, clutched the box in front of his chest, and once he covered it... he was stunned.

What about the box? !

It won't crash, will it? !

Chu Yao knew why and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I lost something..." Yu Tao said, "I'll go back and look for it!"

Chu Yao clasped his wrist and smiled helplessly, "It's not lost, it's here."

Yu Tao: ...

Taking the box and holding it firmly in his hands, Yu Tao heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Yao: "Can you let me take a look?"
