A kitten dressed as an empress

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the perfect time is the most lively New Year's Eve feast in the southern country.

The palace was covered with snow, and Zhao Yao, who had claimed to be sick for several months, attended the banquet, and all the officials stood up to salute.

The brightly lit palace, with the interlacing of cups and cups, seems to be peaceful.

But only Zhao Yao saw those new princes, and heard that the Supreme Emperor chose some suitable candidates from Zhao's side branch to assist the emperor because of his illness and death in the past six months.

Among them, Zhao Xiu, who is also a woman, is sixteen years old, has outstanding talents, and is also very good at horseback riding and hunting, so she was conferred the title of Prince An.

Only emperors can issue imperial edicts on granting titles, but the Supreme Emperor's move is tantamount to showing signs to everyone that the throne may change hands.

As the child's hour approaches, fireworks bloom in the night, and all officials congratulate the New Year in unison.

That Zhao Xiu personally helped the drunk Taishang Emperor back to Chaotian Palace, his eyes were full of certainty.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yao returned to Yuqing Palace in a chariot. The heavy snow that had stopped was slowly falling, and the palace lanterns on both sides dimly illuminated the long palace road.

After entering the inner hall, Zhao Yao took the medicine, and Nanny Li quietly withdrew.

The huge Yuqing Palace was not at all tainted with the festiveness of the New Year, and the little milk cat was already peacefully sleeping in the bedding.

After taking a simple bath, Zhao Yao carefully lay on one side, raised her hand and rubbed her little head.

"Meow..." It was probably a subconscious habit, the head rubbed against the palm, and then the back of the face fell straight down on the palm, and a bang was vaguely heard.

Zhao Yao slightly pursed the corners of her raised lips, fearing that the little kitten would have trouble breathing when she slept like this, so she stretched out her hand to make the little kitty turn over and lie on her back. The little kitten who was sleeping on her back boldly spread her four little paws, not caring about the small movements at all.

After a long night of sleepless nights, Zhao Yao had to get up and change clothes when the sky was getting dark. During the Chinese New Year, the emperor had a lot of troubles to deal with.

Offering sacrifices to the ancestors is one of them. Although the emperor's ordinary clothes are lighter than the royal robes, the styles are also complicated and diverse.

The ceremony at the Temple of Heaven was over. Although there was light from the clouds outside, the cold wind never stopped, and there was thick snow in sight.

In Chaotian Hall, Zhao Yao was sitting on one side drinking tea, and unexpectedly saw Zhao Xiu.

Although he is a prince, according to the law, he is not allowed to enter the palace without an edict.

"Your Majesty, your face is a little pale. Could it be that you are unwell?" Zhao Xiu looked directly at this direction, without any scruples about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

The outside of Chaotian Palace is particularly open and bright, but in winter and spring it is even colder, Zhao Yao is not used to it.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Zhao Xiu's appearance was quite beautiful, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she had a certain style, she held a teacup between her fingers and replied, "Yesterday, the Supreme Emperor was also tired, I'm afraid it's inconvenient now."

"What Prince An said is true." Zhao Yao put down the teacup in her hand, stretched out her hands to straighten her clothes, "Then I will come back another day."

Before the words fell, a figure slowly walked into the inner hall, the Supreme Emperor looked at the two lazily, and then sat on a high seat.

"Yao'er is leaving now?"

Zhao Yao put her hands together in front of her body and replied, "If my aunt is not feeling well, Yao'er will stop bothering her."

"Since everyone is here, let's eat together."

"Yes."

Zhao Xiu on the side didn't make a sound, thinking that the Supreme Emperor didn't want to abolish the new emperor?

It was rumored in the court that the new emperor and the Supreme Emperor were at odds, and now it was a bit strange.

The palace people prepared the dishes, Zhao Xiu saluted and toasted, only to see the pale new emperor drinking hesitantly, looking weak.

In the Southern Kingdom Chongqiang, both men and women practice martial arts, so the vulnerable new emperor cannot convince all the officials.

After drinking for three rounds, the Supreme Emperor glanced at Zhao Xiu, although he was a little dissatisfied, Zhao Xiu wisely withdrew from the outer hall.

Zhao Yao doesn't like wine, the smell of wine is pungent and unpleasant, and the taste is so spicy that it's hard to swallow.

There were only two people left in the outer hall for a while, the Supreme Emperor put down the wine cup in his hand and said first, "Have you figured it out in the past half a year?"

"What is aunt referring to?" Zhao Yao turned her head to look at the slightly drunken person.

"It seems that you still don't know how to repent."

Zhao Yao clearly saw the killing intent flashing across her eyes, and asked with slightly raised lips: "Auntie, what did Yao'er do wrong?"

The person who walked down from the high seat stretched out his hand wearing the long gold armor, raised Zhao Yao's jaw between his fingers and murmured: "Yao'er really looks like her."

"aunt……"

Zhao Yao didn't understand why her aunt looked at her so strangely when she was young, but now she doesn't care about the truth.

"Even your stubborn appearance is so similar to her, which is really hateful." The palm against the cheek was not strong, but it made Zhao Yao extremely disgusted.

The leaning figure blocked the light outside the hall, Zhao Yao was forced to look up at the face that was getting closer and closer, and the hand hidden in the sleeve was tightly clenched and never let go.

"Concubine Jin asks to see you." The report from the palace people outside the palace sounded abruptly.

The hand holding the cheek suddenly let go, the gaze that was full of greed turned into hatred in an instant, and then whispered: "Does Yao'er know why you are still alive?"

Zhao Yao's clenched fingers still did not loosen, her thin lips slightly pursed in response: "Because my aunt allowed Yao'er to live."

"You are right." The person who sat on the high place looked at this side with a half-smile, "So you have to be obedient, you know?"

"Yes."

The palace people outside waited patiently for a response, and it took a while to hear the voice inside.

Concubine Jin, who came in from the outside, looked anxiously at the two of them, seeing that their clothes were neatly dressed, she felt relieved.

"What made you come here in such a hurry?"

"The wintersweet in the plum garden is in full bloom, so I want to watch it together..."

Zhao Yao didn't stay for long, she exited the Chaotian Palace and sat alone in the chariot, the white snow falling everywhere fell on her palm and melted into snow water in an instant.

There was a crescent-shaped red mark on the white palm, and two of the nails were broken, and there were faint bloodstains.

The cold wind shook the hanging curtain of the chariot, and the two nails were silently thrown into the snow, which was soon quietly covered by the wind and snow.

In the early spring, all the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in bud, and because of Zhao Yao's initiative to show softness, the daily expenses of Yuqing Palace returned to normal.

Nanny Li happily summoned the palace servants, but she heard that there was a little wild cat stealing cakes in the palace, so she kept the palace servants squatting at night.

But I failed to catch the little wild cat several times, so I was always annoyed.

When Wen Ruyan woke up lazily during the day, when she slowly crawled out of the desk drawer, the sun was already high outside, and there was no one in the palace.

The Yuqing Palace was back to bustling, and the palace must be cleaned by palace people. In order to avoid being discovered, every time Wen Ruyan fell asleep on the bed, but when he woke up, he was always in the desk drawer.

It was probably stuffed in quietly by the girl.

Wen Ruyan lazily jumped out of the window, the warm sun in spring is extremely rare, so she planned to find a place to bask in the sun.

It's a pity that there are always people in the palace who want to catch cats, especially that Nanny Li set up all kinds of traps. Wen Ruyan looked at the fish in front of him, and was keenly aware of a certain peeping gaze.

Nanny Li's overly friendly gaze made Wen Ruyan's hair stand on end, and she hurriedly turned around and fled from the disputed place.

But who would have thought that it would be that big dog that he hadn't seen for a long time who would meet him.

This, isn't that wolfhound?

"Woof!" Two loud voices made Wen Ruyan spread her paws and run wildly in fright.

The legs are too short, it really makes people want to cry at this time.

Wen Ruyan slid out of the dog hole, and ran all the way to the imperial garden. The whole cat was hanging on the tree trunk, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the cat can climb trees, otherwise it would be life-threatening.

Wen Ruyan, who was almost paralyzed, rested his head on the tree trunk, staring blankly at the big sun above his head.

"The flowers are so beautiful."

"Yes."

The two people holding their voices attracted Wen Ruyan's gaze, and saw a few women sitting in the garden pavilion...

No, it seems to be a man!

Wen Ruyan carefully looked at the throats and front of those people, and confirmed that they were all men.

But why are they all dressed up as women?

Could it be that women's clothing bosses are prevalent in the palace?

That frown and smile, even the posture of drinking tea is learned vividly.

She obviously has a good face, but forcing her to dress up as a woman is also too contrary to harmony.

Wen Ruyan, who listened to their chatting and laughing, almost died on the spot.

After resting, Wen Ruyan jumped down from the tree, planning to find a way back to Yuqing Palace, away from this group of strange people.

Unexpectedly, he embraced Wen Ruyan who had just jumped off the ground with both hands, and when he turned around, he saw a smiling woman.

"Where is this little thing raised in the palace?"

"Meow..." Friends, can we keep a little distance and talk properly?

Wen Ruyan was forcibly held in the arms of the woman, and almost died of suffocation.

"Prince An, you are really loved by the Supreme Emperor." Several men in the pavilion looked at this direction one after another, but their eyes were very unfriendly.

"You concubines, you are so elegant." The woman responded indifferently.

The few people didn't chat much, and the woman left the imperial garden with Wen Ruyan in her arms.

The maid on the side whispered: "Miss, why are all the concubines in this palace dressed like this?"

The woman raised her hand and rubbed her troubled little head, and replied, "The Supreme Emperor likes feminine men, so naturally they want to do what they like."

"But this is too..."

"Shut up!" The woman restrained her eyes and smiled, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "How can the palace talk about others at will?"

"Your servant realizes your mistake." The waiter hurriedly lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

Wen Ruyan was quite frightened by the sound just now, thinking that this woman was smiling so happily just now, but she changed her face in a blink of an eye, it's too dark.

"Which palace did you raise, little one?"

Wen Ruyan, who had no love in life, raised his head and couldn't stretch out his paws to guide the way, so he could only keep a safe distance as much as possible.

This woman is not much older than the girl, how can there be such a big gap between the two?

Wen Ruyan glanced in front of the woman, and looked away in embarrassment.

"The little guy is quite heavy." The woman put down Wen Ruyan, raised her hand and pressed the little head, "Okay, let's go back."

Wen Ruyan, who was relieved, ran towards the long palace road with her little paws.

"Then where is the palace road ahead?"

"I heard that it is the Yuqing Palace where the new emperor lives."

Zhao Xiu stared at the little milk cat that had disappeared, her eyes flashed with trickery and she smiled and said, "Then next time you have to catch this little thing."

I was still silently grateful for the previous woman's Wen Ruyan in my heart, but suddenly felt a little chilly.

I couldn't help but looked up at the sun above my head. It was obviously afternoon, so it should be quite warm.

Wen Ruyan, who came in from the dog's hole, carefully guarded against the sudden attack of the big dog, but found that the entire palace people of Yuqing Palace were gone.

Wen Ruyan turned around curiously, and saw that Nanny Li was kneeling in the open space with the palace guards, while the previous big dog was chained to the side.

What's wrong with this?

Leaping into the inner hall from the window, Wen Ruyan poked his head to look for the girl's figure, and suddenly grabbed the back of the neck with a force, and then his four little claws were suspended in the air.

With this familiar technique, Wen Ruyan turned his head and saw the girl's extremely serious expression.

Although there is a gold veil to cover it, but they have been together for a year, and they can feel the emotional changes of the girl to some extent.

"Meow..." Wen Ruyan called a few times flatteringly.

Zhao Yao went back to Yuqing Palace, but couldn't find the little milk cat in the inner hall, so she couldn't help worrying, so she summoned the palace people to ask.

I just learned that the little milk cat was chased by the palace people and ran out of the Yuqing Palace. The palace is very big, once it runs out of the Yuqing Palace, it may not come back.

Zhao Yao, who was in a restless mood, randomly found a reason to punish those meddling palace servants.

Before entering the palace, I saw the little milk cat timidly looking around.

"Where did you go to play secretly?" Zhao Yao held the little milk cat in one hand, reached out to hold the protruding little paw, and smelled the strong smell of powder, and frowned even more.

Wen Ruyan struggled to stretch out her paws, seeing that being cute didn't work, so she had no choice but to stay still.

No way, cats can't talk, how to explain this?

But if you speak suddenly, maybe you will be burned to death, right?

Before the girl could calm down, Wen Ruyan was lifted and thrown into the small wooden basin in the inner bath.

With a kerchief on her head, she floated on the water with difficulty, Wen Ruyan was so frightened that she screamed again and again, and hurriedly stretched her paws to hug the girl's arm.

Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to uncover the handkerchief, raised her hand and knocked on the dripping little head and said in a low voice: "It seems that you have other masters in the palace."

Hey?

This misunderstanding is huge!

Wen Ruyan blinked her big amber eyes, stretched out her pink paws and hugged the girl's slender arms, doing the cleaning work very obediently and cooperatively.

Zhao Yao pressed her soft cheeks with her fingertips, stretched out her arms and lifted up the little milk cat, which had lost a lot of weight when it was soaked in water.

Even Zhao Yao's clothes were soaked a lot, Zhao Yao wrapped the little milk cat with a handkerchief, her face was so calm that it was hard to see whether she was happy or unhappy.

Wen Ruyan stretched out her paws and slowly stood up, raised her head and mustered up the courage to kiss the girl on the cheek, which was the highest level of affection.

Zhao Yao looked at it in a daze, then stretched out her hand to embrace the little milk cat that was leaning up without saying a word, then got up and walked out of the room.

Wen Ruyan, who was comfortably nestled in his arms, had his head pillowed in front of the girl, confirming that the girl needs to eat more papaya, otherwise it would be too disgusting.

Zhao Yao, who didn't know what the little milk cat in her arms was thinking, her cheeks were slightly hot, and she was still feeling unbelievable because of the sudden intimacy just now.

Cats, are there such human beings?
