A kitten dressed as an empress

In the early summer, it was getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Yao had always slept very lightly. She woke up before dawn and heard the faint sound of snoring.

Slightly sinking on the shoulders, the little guy on the cheek approached with a pink nose, and made a strange purring sound from his slightly opened mouth.

The snow-white hair was softly attached to Zhao Yao's arm, and she opened her four little paws quite unpreparedly, obviously sleeping soundly.

This kind of overly heroic sleeping position is really far from the little guy's cute appearance.

Zhao Yao got up slowly, perhaps without a pillow, the little guy woke up slowly.

The amber eyes looked at this side blankly, and the little paws stepped on the thin quilt, and raised their heads and called a few times.

"Do you want to stay here?" Zhao Yao reached out and hugged the little guy, stroking the little ear with her palm.

Wen Ruyan, who was not fully awake yet, tilted her head and rested her right shoulder on her right shoulder, her eyelids drooping slowly.

Without getting a response, Zhao Yao let go, put the little guy in a wooden box in the closet in the clothes room and said in a low voice: "Don't run around, if you are found, you will not be so lucky."

Wen Ruyan fell asleep in a daze, as if he had heard some instructions vaguely, but he didn't remember anything.

After closing the wooden box, Zhao Yao asked the palace people to wait for her to change clothes and go to court.

Hundreds of officials worship in the main hall, the dragon seat is the most noble symbol in the whole southern country, but now it is just a stage.

Zhao Yao hardly ever said a word, most of the ministers reported, and the edicts were passed down by the female officials beside her.

Of course, the female officials are also appointed by the Supreme Emperor. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not be the regent of the Southern Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this new policy may cause chaos, and I think it should be done with caution." Grand Master Song said standing in front of the hall.

All the ministers cited later agreed, and several generals beside him were also dissatisfied.

Zhao Yao doesn't need to make a sound, she just needs to be a puppet in peace.

The female officer at the side asked the Supreme Emperor who was sipping tea, and then accepted the gesture and said: "We will discuss the new policy later. Your Majesty is a little tired today."

"Retreat!"

Although the high officials were dissatisfied, they still left the hall in an orderly manner.

This is Chaotang, boring and interesting.

It was only Chen Shi when the morning dynasty ended, and the weather in early summer was sweltering, especially when wearing a heavy dragon robe.

The sound of teacups breaking in the Chaotian Hall was particularly obvious, and the palace servants kneeling aside to clean them up.

"Grand Master Song dared to openly provoke!" Taishang Huang violently picked up the sword placed aside, his eyes became more and more murderous, but he immediately put down the sword in his hand.

"Yaoer, what do you think?"

Zhao Yao stood aside quietly, holding a teacup in her hand and shaking her head slightly.

"Since when did you become so silent?" The fingertips that raised his jaw were extremely strong, and the Supreme Emperor squinted his long and narrow eyes, looking at him fiercely, "How can you rest assured that the throne will be passed on to you like this?"

"If my aunt doesn't like it, Yao'er can abdicate for the virtuous."

The throne was only temporarily thrown to Zhao Yao under the pressure of the ministers.

"Concubine Jin please see me." The palace servant outside reported in a trembling low voice.

There was dead silence in the hall and no one responded, and it took a while for the jaw force to loosen.

"Your Majesty is sick, and sent back to Yuqing Palace, and the subsequent morning court will also be exempted."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yao pursed her lips and saluted, "Thank you for taking care of me, aunt."

The downcast stared at Zhao Yao closely, and then laughed contemptuously: "Useless things."

Coming out of the main hall, Zhao Yao saw Jin Taifei who was coming this way.

The empress ascended the throne, and the selection of concubines changed from women to men. There used to be hundreds of concubines in the palace, but now there are six concubines in total, but they don't have a single heir, which is really unusual.

Concubine Jin is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, but her eyebrows and eyes always look a little weak, not as hard as a man, but as feminine as a woman.

"Your Majesty, I still respect and love the Supreme Emperor as always." Concubine Jin looked at the new emperor who had just grown up, with imperceptible hostility flashing in her eyes.

"En." Zhao Yao nodded, and went straight out of Chaotian Hall.

A long time ago, Zhao Yao knew that her aunt not only liked men, but also women.

The coldness in Chaotian Palace often reminded Zhao Yao of the past that she didn't want to think about. It was already noon when she returned to Yuqing Palace in a chariot.

Dining in the outer hall, served by Madam Li, serving soup and vegetables carefully.

"Your Majesty, I have been eating less and less recently."

Zhao Yao rinsed her mouth with tea, stretched out her hand and said, "Medicine."

Nanny Li put away the stiff smile on her face, poured the medicine into her palm, and didn't dare to speak again.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't bother Madam Li to take care of me in the palace."

"Yes."

Zhao Yao entered alone, the pungent incense made people sick, stepped forward and opened all the windows, the smell dissipated a lot.

The entire inner hall, illuminated by the scorching sun at noon, was particularly bright, and a meow was exceptionally clear.

The little milk cat ran out of the wooden box at some point, lying lazily on the desk drawer, its fluffy tail spinning in the air.

But that little head was lying on the drawer, where there were a lot of pastries and jade jewelry piled up in the drawer, and the gold chain was wrapped around the little milk cat's neck and little paws.

The jewelry under the slightly dazzling sunlight was particularly conspicuous. The little milk cat stared blankly at its head, and the jade bracelet that was originally in its mouth fell down next to its little paw with a clatter.

This silly look made Zhao Yao's lips curl up.

Wen Ruyan blinked in embarrassment. At first, she just felt bored, so she walked around. Later, she found those large boxes of jewelry, so she looked curiously.

Then I accidentally picked it up out of curiosity, but suddenly heard a sound, thinking it was a palace official coming in, so I rushed into the desk drawer in a panic.

"Does the little guy like these shiny jewelry?" Zhao Yao raised her hand and rubbed her fluffy head, trying to untie the entangled chain.

The little milk cat raised its paw obediently, Zhao Yao untied the heavy chain and said: "If you like these, I can give you all of them."

really?

Wen Ruyan swallowed with difficulty, and sneaked a peek at the heavy gold chain, thinking that as long as there is such a thing, then there should be no worries in this life.

But before there was any response, Wen Ruyan was carried out of the drawer.

Zhao Yao was sitting on the low couch by the window with the little milk cat in her arms, and raised her hand to pick up the cakes beside her, only to find that there were small tooth marks on each piece.

"It seems that you are very good at finding food."

Wen Ruyan stared longingly at the jewelry placed on the desk, then turned his head and rubbed the girl's palm.

"But these will be gone soon." Zhao Yao said softly with a normal expression, but Wen Ruyan still didn't understand.

The young girl is the new emperor, and the Supreme Emperor is her aunt, so why should she not starve to death?

But on the second day, a large number of items from Yuqing Palace were taken away, and Wen Ruyan hadn't had time to look at the boxes of jewelry.

Because of her small size, Wen Ruyan hid in the girl's sleeve, peeking at the palace servants who left one after another.

When the female officer at the side slowly approached, Wen Ruyan's head was pressed down by the girl's palm.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has an edict, and I have to abide by it."

Zhao Yao sat on a high seat in the outer hall, folded her hands in front of her body, her loose finery was scattered slightly, and said straightly, "The Supreme Emperor's arrangement, you must abide by it."

In the Yuqing Palace in Nuo Da, there were only Nanny Li and two palace attendants left. All jewelry and jewelry were emptied, and even gold lamps and tea bowl utensils were also cleared away.

The Southern Kingdom emphasizes etiquette and laws, and the throne has its own corresponding regulations on supplies, but in this way, it is tantamount to abolishing the emperor.

The female official did not dare to speculate on the deep meaning of it, nor could she disobey the Supreme Emperor's edict, so she had to salute and leave.

When night fell, there was only a little bit of light left in the entire Yuqing Palace, and there were only sporadic candlelight in the outer hall.

"Your Majesty, please use the soup." Seeing the scene in the daytime, Madam Li knew that the Yuqing Palace might have run out of luck, but it was just a day to day.

Fortunately, the new emperor can't see it, so it's easy to fool around.

Zhao Yao drank half a bowl of soup and didn't continue to eat.

The use of candles is limited. There is only one candle in the entire inner hall, which can only illuminate the surroundings of the bed.

"Little guy?" Zhao Yao opened the wooden box and did not find the little milk cat. She frowned solemnly and walked to the desk.

I saw the small half of the tail dangling outside the drawer, and the brows just relaxed.

Wen Ruyan dozed off in the afternoon, but unexpectedly slept until dark.

Zhao Yao sat on the side with her long hair scattered, and played with her pink paws with her fingertips, saying, "I thought even you had left Yuqing Palace."

Living for nothing for so long, it would be too dishonest to run away now that a disaster is imminent.

But there is no food, so you won't starve to death if you go on like this.

Wen Ruyan, who was carried in her arms, nestled obediently in her arms.

The candlelight beside the bed was so dim that the entire Yuqing Palace looked even more terrifying.

Wen Ruyan put her little head on the girl's neck in fear, and her little tail shook around in fear.

Zhao Yao lay on her side, grasped the little tail with her fingertips and sighed calmly: "It's really quiet tonight."

That's right, everyone left.

Usually, the little milk cat is always very noisy at night, but tonight it is abnormally clingy, rubbing its head against Zhao Yao's palm, calling softly.

Zhao Yao rubbed the little milk cat's soft face with her fingertips, put her arms around the little milk cat and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Wen Ruyan poked his head out of the quilt with difficulty, only to breathe in the fresh air.

The girl seemed to be in a deep sleep and stopped moving, but the strength of her embrace hadn't diminished at all. She looked quite slender, but she was actually quite strong.

Perhaps one of the windows was not closed, a gust of wind suddenly blew out the only lamp, and the eyes were plunged into darkness. Wen Ruyan was so frightened that she hurriedly hid in the bed, and even silently retracted the little tail that was exposed outside.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhao Yao raised her hand to rub the restless little milk cat in her arms, and could vaguely feel it trembling.

Wen Ruyan lay her pillow in front of the girl, but she didn't dare to stick her head out, so she could only softly call a few times: "Meow..."

Zhao Yao embraced the clingy little milk cat, stroked the small ears with her palm, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: "Don't be afraid, no one will come."

Today's Yuqing Palace is a forbidden place, and it will only be forgotten in a corner of the palace.

But the shivering little guy didn't poke his head out, but stretched out his little paws to wrap around Zhao Yao tightly.

Little guy, you are so timid.
