A kitten dressed as an empress

Not only was the water bag never taken back, but she was hunted down, and now she was reprimanded by Zhao Yao, Wen Ruyan was very depressed.

After a period of time like this, the courtyard of Yuqing Palace was full of withered leaves, Zhao Yao looked at the decadent little milk cat collapsed to the side.

"You, are you sleepy in autumn?" Zhao Yao stretched out her hands and rubbed her fluffy little head, and fiddled with her little ears with her fingertips.

The little milk cat didn't even answer, just like an ordinary cat.

Zhao Yao withdrew her hand and poured a cup of tea. As late autumn became colder, the water mist rose slowly and then dissipated.

The palace people cleaning outside the window were scattered in twos and threes. Zhao Yao took a sip of tea, broke off a piece of pastry with her fingertips and handed it to the little milk cat, saying: "I never blamed you for leaving the palace without authorization, why are you in a bad mood?" good?"

The little milk cat buried its head in Zhao Yao's palm, ate the pastry in small bites, and collapsed to the side again after all the pastry crumbs in the palm were eaten.

In any case, this situation is very weird.

Zhao Yao pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "Have you ever found your water bag?"

The little head resting on the book still didn't move, only the amber eyes responded slightly dodging: "Meow..."

Wen Ruyan buried her head in the book with a heartbroken heart. Nanny Li was agile and greedy, so she probably didn't have a few sips left.

Even if you take back the water bag now, it won't help, there is no need to take any more risks.

Zhao Yao stretched out her hand and pressed the soft buttocks, she couldn't put it down because of the too soft touch.

The little milk cat who hadn't responded at all suddenly turned its head, and its pink paws hugged Zhao Yao's hand and called out in dissatisfaction: "Meow!"

"In autumn and winter, you are like a small stove."

The little milk cat didn't let go of its two paws, Zhao Yao let her go with great interest, and poked the fleshy cheek with her fingertips.

Mostly because of the comfortable strength, the little milk cat squinted its eyes very cooperatively, and its fluffy tail shook a few times from time to time.

It's really easy to coax.

One night, heavy snow fell quietly, and the windows were rustled by the fine snow. Zhao Yao woke up from a light sleep, the left side of her face was extraordinarily warm.

The little milk cat curled up into a ball, most of its body was nestled in its neck, and its fluffy head lay on the left side of its face like a small pillow.

Of course, the sound of snoring was also very clear, Zhao Yao caressed the overly thick hair with her fingers, and gently pushed the soft flesh with her fingertips.

The little milk cat turned round roundly to its side, hugging its tail as if habitually, and continued to sleep soundly.

Zhao Yao turned her head to look for a while, the left side of her face that was warm before turned cold again, seeing that the little milk cat showed no sign of approaching, she pursed her thin lips slightly.

There was a strong wind on a snowy night, so it was always extremely restless. Before dawn, Zhao Yao got up and dressed neatly. The little milk cat nestled in the quilt was still fast asleep.

There is a towering attic in the bedroom of Yuqing Palace. In the past, Zhao Yao would often come up alone.

The little milk cat nestled in her arms, and Zhao Yao held it with one hand, and opened the small door and window with the other, and Nuo Da's palace appeared in front of her eyes.

The strong wind made Zhao Yao's cloak sway violently, and what caught the eye was a vast expanse of white snow, as if there was only one color in the world.

When Wen Ruyan woke up in a daze, his whole body was trembling, his eyes were covered in pure white, and he was almost blind.

Who would have thought that sleeping in a warm bed would turn out to be in the open air after waking up.

"You're finally awake." Zhao Yao gently pushed back the hair that was blown wildly by the strong wind with her fingertips.

The little milk cat poked its head out and looked out. It seemed to be slowing down, and it jumped out of Zhao Yao's arms very happily, and ran out of the pavilion with four little paws.

Without the little milk cat like a stove in her palm, Zhao Yao clenched her hands slightly, got up and followed the little guy who seemed to be one with the snow.

The palace was very quiet at this moment, and the attic was extremely spacious. I heard that the Yuqing Palace had specially repaired it for several years in the past.

Zhao Yao tightened her scarlet cloak, looked at the little milk cat that fell down in the snowdrift, leaned over with slightly raised lips and stretched out her hand to hold the snow-covered little milk cat.

The little milk cat shook his head suddenly, and the snow splashed, causing Zhao Yao to be covered in snowflakes.

"Don't move around." Zhao Yao held down the restless little milk cat, and then returned to the pavilion.

He didn't feel cold when he was playing before, but now that he was idle suddenly, Wen Ruyan curled up into a ball on Zhao Yao's lap.

"This is the best place in Yuqing Palace, you can see any palace you want to see here." Zhao Yao gently stroked the hair that had been subdued by the snow water with her palm.

The little milk cat stretched out its two hind paws, barely kept standing and looked around, its big eyes were full of curiosity.

Looking at the fluffy ball, Zhao Yao said quietly: "But even if you look, you still can't escape the palace, after all, you have to go through several palace gates to get out of the palace."

The little guy who had been concentrating before was suddenly discouraged and nestled obediently on his lap again.

"This year, the states and counties in the southern country first experienced floods, followed by several months of severe drought, and the people had no crops. The snow that came earlier than in previous years will only aggravate the disaster. It is not a wise move to leave the palace right now."

These words are not because Zhao Yao deliberately coaxed, but the situation in the court is indeed the case.

The imperial court was supposed to donate food to relieve the victims, but the opening of the national treasury required consultation with the ministers, and the four great families obstructed it in every possible way, and even the Supreme Emperor was quite troubled by this.

The emperor has no power in his hands, and his courtiers have too much power, which will inevitably intensify conflicts and disputes.

The little milk cat looked at the bottom of the attic and suddenly said: "Meow?"

Zhao Yao fiddled with the tender little paw with her fingertips and asked in puzzlement, "What did you see?"

I saw two courtiers playing in the snow in the backyard of Yuqing Palace, one of them fell down on the snow, the other took the initiative to rush forward, and the two bowed their heads and kissed each other.

There are many rules in the imperial palace. Once the palace people enter the palace, they may stay there for decades, and many of them may never leave the palace again.

Zhao Yao has seen many such things, and she has long been used to them.

The little milk cat on the lap poked its fluffy head and looked around curiously, its amber eyes never blinked, obviously it was very focused.

Zhao Yao raised her hand to press the little head and said: "Be obedient, don't look at what you shouldn't."

The little milk cat, who didn't react in the slightest, was directly pressed down, and the hair that had just been smoothed became messy again.

"Meow?" You are obviously more serious than me, okay?

Wen Ruyan rested his head on his lap, looked at it full of sorrow, and thought to himself that this is clearly only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps!

Zhao Yao saw the two people from the palace holding hands and leaving the courtyard, just now she looked back, the palm of her hand became much lighter immediately.

The little milk cat angrily bit Zhao Yao's sleeve with pitifully weak strength.

"You..." Zhao Yao pulled out her sleeve lightly, looking at the little milk cat that was caught, a smile appeared in her eyes.

In ancient times, there was Jiang Taigong who took the bait when he was fishing, and now there is a winter coat fishing for little milk cats.

After coming down from the attic, Zhao Yao went out of the palace to go to the morning court. Wen Ruyan wanted to lie on the bed to catch up on sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and the wind outside made the windows rattle.

In the end, Wen Ruyan could only get out of the quilt, jumped from the seat onto the desk, and carefully jumped up to the tall bookcase beside her.

This bookcase is scary big, all kinds of books are piled up like a wall, Wen Ruyan occasionally picks out books to pass the time when he is bored.

On weekdays, many of the books that Zhao Yao chose were unfamiliar and difficult to understand.

It stands to reason that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should read a love story, but Wen Ruyan has never seen such books in the bookcase.

Zhao Yao is definitely not an ordinary girl. Which ordinary girl can peek at other people's intimacy without blushing?

Wen Ruyan complained silently in her heart, and the next best thing was to find some books that didn't seem too difficult to understand.

With its small and exquisite size, it can be unimpeded in the bookcase.

There was a "bang", Wen Ruyan was startled for a moment, because she accidentally touched the book.

Bite the book from the ground and climb back to the top, Wen Ruyan suddenly discovered that there was actually a black porcelain bottle on this floor.

Generally speaking, this should be an incredible thing.

And it was deliberately kept so secretive, obviously to prevent Wen Ruyan.

After all, Wen Ruyan had turned over other places in the bedroom, but this bookcase would not usually climb to such a high place.

The little milk cat stretched its paws to hug the porcelain bottle, sniffed it closely with its pink nose, and immediately stood up its ears energetically.

This sweet smell, could it be Qiongyeyulu!

Earlier, Zhao Yao personally said that there is Qiongye Yulu in Yuqing Palace.

At the end of the morning court, Zhao Yao returned to Yuqing Palace, and Nanny Li waited outside for meals.

"Your Majesty, this is the freshly made ginseng soup."

Zhao Yao reached out to catch the soup bowl, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the water bag hanging on the side of Nanny Li.

It turned out that the water bag was taken by Nanny Li.

The ground heating in the hall was prepared early, and the ground was also very warm. When Zhao Yao entered the inner hall, she could feel the warmth inside.

It's just that the Yuqing Palace is filled with disgusting incense, Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to open the window, and then she breathed comfortably.

The little milk cat jumped onto the flowerpot table on the side, then climbed up the window sill with its paws and called enthusiastically: "Meow."

Zhao Yao looked at this somewhat abnormal little guy and subconsciously explored the objects in the hall.

If you accidentally break a vase or an inkstone on weekdays, the little milk cat will take the initiative to be so abnormal.

But the objects in the hall are intact, and the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk are also placed in a regular manner. Zhao Yao held the little milk cat with one hand, stared at the innocent and pitiful big eyes and said, "You, what did you do today?"

The little milk cat hurriedly shook her head, very obedient, Zhao Yao rubbed her head with her palm, her heart was still tight with suspicion.

However, there was no evidence to be found right now, so he did not ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, when the little milk cat had eaten and drank enough, he would sleep soundly on the book, and the pink and tender paws crushed countless books in the palace.

Zhao Yao was reviewing the memorial, until she heard the sound of purring, then she stopped writing and looked at the little milk cat that melted like water.

Because of the winter, the hand holding the pen was a little stiff from the cold, Zhao Yao put down the pen and cautiously leaned towards the little guy who looked like a stove.

Gently rubbing the soft buttocks with the palm, it was extremely warm and soft, Zhao Yao lightly touched the half-raised little paw with her fingertips.

Perhaps it was too sound asleep, and the little milk cat's posture was particularly strange, with its two front paws half-raised, while the two hind paws spread straight, without any precaution against its abdomen, which was extremely vulnerable to attack.

Zhao Yao played with the soft flesh of that cheek with her fingertips, and turned her head to look at the bookcase behind her.

Could it be that the fine nectar and jade dew that had been dropped from the Summer Palace had been discovered?

Confused, Zhao Yao picked up a handkerchief to cover the little milk cat before getting up and walking towards the bookcase.

The black porcelain bottle on the back of the book was still in it, Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows lightly, wondering if her abnormality today was just a whim?

Just when Zhao Yao was about to put the book back to its original place, she suddenly found a clear tooth mark on the book, which was obviously bitten by some little guy.

What is she planning to do?

The corners of Zhao Yao's lips raised, and she put the book back in place calmly.

After a few days like this, Zhao Yao pretended not to know about it, while Wen Ruyan was full of thoughts about how to sneakily take that fine nectar and jade dew for himself.

Although the behavior is a bit improper, this may be the only good nectar and jade dew.

To Wen Ruyan, it was extremely important, so he was thinking in his heart how could he hide it from Zhao Yao quietly?

Just when Wen Ruyan was worried, it was suddenly reported in Chaotian Palace that the Supreme Emperor had contracted an illness, and he could not even attend the early court.

When Zhao Yao heard the news, she was actually very confused.

After all, the Supreme Emperor is not yet over 20, and it is reasonable to rule for another [-] years. It may not be a problem.

It was the possibility that Zhao Yao suspected immediately.

If it was really poisoned, it would be a direct sudden death, how could it be just a simple infection.

Such a sudden illness, but things are arranged in such an orderly manner, it really doesn't look like a critical moment.

When Zhao Yao heard the news in the early court, all the ministers were also talking about it.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Zhao Yao went to the Chaotian Palace to find out the truth after the morning court was over.

In the past, the Chaotian main hall was always pungent and fragrant, filled with the smell of medicinal soup, the palace people were silent, and Zhao Yao walked through the bead curtain to enter the inner hall.

Concubine Jin was holding the medicinal soup in her hand, she stood beside the bed with worry on her brows and said, "Your Majesty, you are here."

"Auntie, why are you sick all of a sudden?" Zhao Yao stepped forward, sat sideways, and carefully questioned the person on the bed.

Although his face was a little pale, there was nothing unusual about it.

"The imperial doctor said that it was a sudden illness, and he was seriously ill for a while, so I can't tell you the specifics." Jin Taifei said with reddish eyes.

Zhao Yao glanced at the palace servants in the inner hall, and then stayed beside the couch with Concubine Jin until late at night.

Because it was inconvenient to walk in the snow, the chariot also walked extremely slowly, and a few snowflakes floated on the back of the hand along with the wind.

In just the blink of an eye, the snowflakes melted into water droplets.

The palace servant of Chaotian Inner Palace has not been replaced, so the most suspicious person is the person close to him.

Could it be that Concubine Jin really did it?

But if Concubine Jin made the move, why didn't she take the next step?

On the contrary, she, the puppet empress, looks like a profiteer. This is a very dangerous thing, and it is very likely that others will be splashed with dirty water.

Zhao Yao gently wiped the cool water drops with her fingertips, her brows frowned slightly, the matter might not be simple.

Due to the riots caused by the disaster, all states and counties in the southern country rioted one after another. In the early court, some generals proposed to send troops to suppress it.

But to mobilize the army of the Southern Kingdom, only the Supreme Emperor can issue orders.

All the ministers knew well that the new emperor was just a puppet. At this time, it was tantamount to instigating disputes, and they could also test whether the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill.

Military power has been taboo for emperors since ancient times.

No matter what the reason for the expedition, as long as the new emperor interferes, it will be in danger.

The minister, who has always been dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor, wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the Supreme Emperor, but because of fear, he hesitated to take action.

The ministers are trying to find out whether the Supreme Emperor is really seriously ill, so as to ensure a fatal blow.

The new emperor is just a stone to explore the way, and they can throw it away at any time.

Zhao Yao looked at the conscientious minister below and said: "This matter is of great importance, I need to discuss it with the Supreme Emperor, and I will discuss it with all my lovers in the future."

"Retreat!"

Re-entering Chaotian Palace, Concubine Jin still stood by, the Supreme Emperor on the bed was still unconscious, Zhao Yao did not return to Yuqing Palace, and even asked people to move the memorial to Chaotian Palace.

After waiting day and night for more than half a month, the matter of sending troops to suppress has been delayed.

Seeing that New Year's Eve is approaching, the palace is full of joy, the snow is getting thicker and thicker, and the icicles hanging down from the eaves look sharp and tight.

Finally one day the Supreme Emperor woke up, and the palace staff hurriedly informed Zhao Yao who was in the side hall.

Zhao Yao pretended to rush in, and waited on the bed, and saw the Supreme Emperor resting on a round pillow, and Jin Taifei guarding the side with a medicine bowl.

"Yao'er has been staying in the Chaotian Palace, and she looks thinner." The Supreme Emperor, except for his pale complexion, was still very organized, not at all like a serious illness.

"Auntie, why are you suddenly sick?"

"It's common for people to get sick when they get old." The Supreme Emperor looked at it with a smile, and put his hand on the back of Zhao Yao's, "You are in power alone, but you are still busy?"

Concubine Jin at the side said with reddish hands and eyes, "I wake up now and talk about important national affairs, it's better to rest well, so as not to suffer again."

"Yao'er is not as good as my aunt to deal with it." Zhao Yao shook her head and responded, "The ministers want to send troops to suppress the riots, how should my aunt handle this properly?"

The Supreme Emperor looked at Concubine Jin meaningfully, and then said to Zhao Yao: "It is not advisable to send troops to suppress this winter, let's deal with it after the New Year."

"Yes."

The Concubine Jin, who was left to the side, looked at Zhao Yao with a bit of hatred in her red eyes.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yao had just returned to Yuqing Palace in a chariot. Snowflakes were falling on the long palace road, and the brightness of the dim palace lanterns was extremely low.

Holding the hand warmer in her palm, Zhao Yao recalled that just now the Supreme Emperor said that he decided not to attend the early court due to his health, and that the court affairs would be managed by himself.

This disease is strange, and it is also strange when it is good.

Originally, the ministers sent troops to suppress the proposal in the name of deliberation perfunctorily, but if they wait until the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the Supreme Emperor has not yet appeared, and the ministers are not fools, so they will naturally start plotting secretly.

Now that the Supreme Emperor suddenly woke up, no matter how tightly sealed the news from the palace was, it would definitely reach the ears of those unwilling ministers.

It's just that the Supreme Emperor's sudden delegation of power is a bit tricky for Zhao Yao.

For the emperor, delegating power to some extent is to give others the sharp edge of beheading himself.

So, this is likely to be another trial.

If you take the sharp knife, it is tantamount to directly admitting your desire to seize power, so you must think of a perfect strategy, which is to carefully avoid the trap and win some trust.

Suddenly one side of the flames shot into the sky, that direction was Yuqing Palace, and the palace people hurriedly carried buckets to that direction.

Zhao Yao withdrew her mind, and because the chariot was too slow, she walked on foot in the snow, while the palace servants stood aside with umbrellas.

The snow was trampled up and rustling, Zhao Yao stepped into the main hall, grabbed Li Nanny who was approaching with a gloomy expression, and asked, "Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

Nanny Li responded with some fear: "I don't know which palace servant who doesn't have eyesight knocked down the lamp, but it was the bedroom that caught fire first."

Zhao Yao let go of her hand and said, "Quickly let the guards put out the fire!"

"Yes."

Mother Li was terrified, and quickly responded.

The light of the fire was particularly obvious in the dark night, Zhao Yao walked towards the palace alone, the bright red flame illuminated the white snow, because the palace people trampled back and forth, most of the snow near the palace melted, making it extremely slippery to walk.

Zhao Yao looked around until she saw a series of completely opposite footprints, and then followed to the side hall.

The palace people in the side hall all went to put out the fire, so it was extraordinarily quiet, and their footprints stopped in front of a door.

Hastily reached out to push, the door suddenly opened from the inside, Zhao Yao was grabbed by the girl and jumped forward uncontrollably.

The girl who was so frightened that she fell backward fell firmly to the ground and yelled out in pain: "Ouch!"

Zhao Yao's chin was also hit by the girl's head, but she quickly stretched out her hand to open the distance. Seeing the girl's painful expression, she asked, "Where did you fall?"

The girl said aggrievedly: "Don't move, I hurt everywhere, the most painful is my little butt."

"What?" Zhao Yao looked at the girl in confusion, only to realize that the girl's hands seemed to have bright red marks of burns, "You were burned?"

No matter how stupid you are, you won't be set on fire just standing there.

Wen Ruyan was left speechless by this question, and had no face to tell what happened.

Originally, Wen Ruyan, who was sitting on the desk reading a book, was reading seriously, his little tail kept wagging, when he suddenly bumped into a candlestick beside him.

The fluffy ball caught fire and ignited, Wen Ruyan was so frightened that he ran around in a panic, and many books ignited in the blink of an eye.

Since the bookcase couldn't escape, Wen Ruyan jumped onto the bookcase impatiently, bit the porcelain bottle impatiently, and took several big gulps hastily.

Unexpectedly, the porcelain bottle fell down with a clang, the wine spilled quickly, and the fire burned even bigger when it met the wine. Wen Ruyan was so frightened that he was stunned.

Zhao Yao watched the girl who was only wrapped in a thin spring dress fight coldly, she didn't even have a pair of shoes on her feet, so she stretched out her hand to untie her outer robe to wrap it around the girl, fastened the buttons between her fingers and said, "Follow me, don't let me go!" Run around."

Nanny Li was directing the palace staff to put out the fire, and a large number of guards arrived in time, so the fire was quickly brought under control.

But many people in the palace had never seen His Majesty, Madam Li was so anxious that the palace caught fire and His Majesty disappeared. This is a capital crime!

Hurriedly leading the palace servants to look for His Majesty inside and outside the Yuqing Palace, it was a coincidence that Nanny Li found His Majesty in a side hall, but there was another palace attendant beside her.

His Majesty, who has always been indifferent, would actually be so close to a palace servant, even giving his dragon pattern robe to a humble palace servant.

Nanny Li suppressed her thoughts and approached carefully, only to find out that the palace attendant was actually a little girl from the summer palace!

Sure enough, it was a pitiful Hu Meizi who dared to seduce His Majesty. If the Supreme Emperor was told about this, sooner or later she would be rewarded!
