Yuan Fu has followed Emperor Zhao for many years, and witnessed with his own eyes how that shady and lonely young man, step by step, climbed from a desperate position to the pinnacle of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.But even so, he couldn't figure out what was going on in the heart of this young emperor who showed no signs of emotion or anger.

He sent himself to fetch Luo Bai, but he only placed it in a side hall. After these few days, he only saw him once when he entered the palace, as if he found a random place and raised a cat or dog.

But other places did not treat Luo Bai badly. The meals brought by the little eunuch to the imperial dining room every day were all exquisite, completely different from the regular dishes in other palaces.The usual pastries and snacks have not been broken, and the fruits and vegetables are very fresh.

In the eyes of other palace people, he, Eunuch Yuan, fell into the mud from the sky, and he would be full of cynicism and ridicule when meeting him on weekdays, but he never took it to heart, and only tried his best to take good care of Luo Bai.

He thought, the emperor should watch everything...

Luo Bai ate his lunch dully, Yuan Fu didn't even look at him, he just lowered his head and concentrated on serving the dishes.

Because as long as there is a pair of eyes, Luo Bai's big eyes are full of pleading, looking pitiful, which makes people feel weak.

After Luo Bai put down his chopsticks, he had no choice but to obediently go to sleep. Yuan Fu took off his outer shirt for him, and he said: "Aunt Yuan Fu, I will definitely not be able to sleep. I will not be able to sleep when I am sad."

Yuan Fu hung the clothes on the rack, and replied: "Then lie down and play."

Luo Bai lay on the bed and sighed, tossed and turned with the quilt in his hands, and even sneaked a look at Yuan Fu.

Yuan Fu ignored him, hung up his clothes and went out to leave, but after walking a few steps, he came back lightly and put his ear on the door to listen.

The moaning and sighing in the room was gone, only a dull chatter.After a while, Bajizui also disappeared, and there was only a light snoring like a kitten snoring.

Yuan Fu chuckled secretly, shook his head and walked to the well in the corner of the courtyard, and took the basket of mulberries filled with well water.

No one in the palace eats this, after all, it is not a melon or fruit worthy of the table, only Luo Bai would regard this as a rare thing.

Luo Bai woke up, lay on the bed and regained his senses for a while, and whispered along with the cicadas singing outside.However, he still remembered that he had to write in the afternoon. Although he was lazy and didn't want to move, he insisted on getting up.

After Yuan Fu wiped his face with a wet kerchief, he went to the cabinet and found his booklet, hid it under his clothes and went to the study room, then took the brush from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and drew on it. A big plum blossom.

It is bigger than the previous plum blossoms, more than twice as large.

Not only did I see my beautiful brother today, but I also had to press a big paw!

After putting away the booklet, Luo Bai began to write.

Although he can't write, he puts on a good posture.The ink should be ground well, the tip of the pen should be moistened and full, and it should sit upright in front of the desk.Open the copybook, put it on the left top of the desk, hold the pen in one hand, and lift the sleeve of the other hand, and write pen on the rice paper calmly——

Another scribble.

From time to time, I have to flip through the copybook in the upper left corner, and turn to the next page in a serious manner.

Yuan Fu came in to see him twice, and brought tea at the right temperature and a plate full of peeled walnuts.

Children are too tired to study and need to replenish their brains.

The whole afternoon passed like this, and when dinner was over, Luo Bai couldn't sit still any longer, and dug up the soil under the ginkgo tree in the yard, digging out several ant nests.

Yuan Fu saw that he looked bored with nothing to do, and finally said: "My lord, you can go for a walk to digest your food, but remember not to play by that pond."

"Understood, Aunt Yuan Fu." Luo Bai's eyes lit up, he threw away the branch in his hand and was about to run out, when he ran to the door, he remembered something, and went back to grab mulberries on the table by the well.

"Hey, you can't grab it like this. Be careful of the color you get on your hands. It won't wash off even if you wash it."

Yuan Fu hurriedly stopped his movements, went to the house to get a small ceramic jar, put some mulberries in it, and handed it to him.

Holding the small pot in his hands, Luo Bai quickly left the courtyard gate, walked along the path beside the forest for a while, and then flashed into the nearby bushes.

After a while, a white leopard cub wearing a small jade crown came out from the tall grass, not only carrying a bundle on its back, but also a small clay pot hanging around its neck.

Luo Bai trotted towards Gande Palace with ease, the setting sun fell from the tops of the leaves, coating his white fur with a light orange red, like velvet satin.

But it was still early, and he knew that if he passed by like this, he would be easily spotted by the guards in front of the hall, so he still climbed up the rockery where he usually stayed, and waited patiently for dark.

The setting sun in the sky is about to sink, like an orange salted duck egg.The little leopard lay on his back on the rockery, stretched out his fluffy paws, pretended to reach for the salted duck egg, fed it into his mouth, and ate it.

At some point, a group of wild cats had quietly gathered, sitting quietly under the rockery as usual.Chewing the imaginary sunset, the little leopard made another feint of taking it out of his mouth, rubbed his paws, and sprinkled the imaginary powder down.

Give you some to eat.

The cats didn't understand, so they looked at each other, then lay down on the spot and continued to remain silent.

When the last ray of light disappeared from the sky, Xiaobao stood up and jumped down the rockery lightly.

ooh ooh...

You are not allowed to follow, go play by yourself, what does it sound like to follow me all day long?Even if you don't know how to write and draw, you can still climb trees and catch birds.

As expected, the wild cats stopped and stopped following it. They only turned around and left after watching the little leopard disappear into the night.

The apse of Gande Palace.

Eunuch Cheng put the newly burned spices into the cloisonné enamel double-crane censer, and asked the person in front of the desk respectfully and softly: "Your Majesty, your dragon body has not recovered yet, why don't you rest earlier today?"

Chu Yuzhao was wearing a loose gown and was reviewing the memorial. Hearing the words, he only responded lightly, but did not put down the ink brush in his hand.

Eunuch Cheng felt helpless, so he had to carefully persuade: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important..."

"I know, I'm going to rest now." Chu Yuzhao finally put down his pen this time, rubbed his temples, his voice revealed a bit of fatigue, "You all go to rest too, there is no need to keep anyone in the hall."

"Yes."

Eunuch Cheng knew Chu Yuzhao's temperament, he never liked to be surrounded by people while sleeping, and he was not allowed to blow out the candles, so he checked the candles in the four corners of the hall, and made a gesture to signal to the two little girls standing with downcast eyes Eunuch, leave with yourself.

Just when Eunuch Cheng was about to leave the room, Chu Yuzhao suddenly asked, "Chengshou, are there any white dogs, white foxes, etc. in this palace?"

Eunuch Cheng was stunned for a moment, and thought about it: "I have never heard of anyone raising white dogs in the palace, but there are two peacocks, falcons, and a tiger in the garden behind, but I have never heard of white foxes."

Seeing that Chu Yuzhao remained silent, he tentatively asked again: "Your Majesty wants to raise white foxes? There are many foxes in the north, so you should be able to find them. If Your Majesty wants, this old slave can go and invite General Wu from the northern border, and send the ones caught to him." Come to the palace."

Chu Yuzhao waved his hand: "No need, I'm just asking casually, you all step back."

"Yes."

When everyone exited the door, the bedroom was empty and silent.Chu Yuzhao stood up from the desk, walked to the window, looked at the lights in the palace in the distance through the shadow of the whirling trees in the courtyard, two deep lines appeared between the eyebrows, and he was lost in thought.

The atmosphere of the imperial court has been dirty for a long time, and it is not so easy to clean it up for a while. The branches and vines of the officials are intertwined and intertwined.So even if the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households embezzled the embezzlement money for embankment repairs, Cheng and Li could not be dealt with for the time being.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze from a distance, and wanted to close the window and go back to the room. When his gaze turned to the glass dripping glass on the table next to him, he was slightly taken aback, and his arm resting on the window lattice also stopped.

The crystal surface of the glazed water leak clearly reflected the roof beams behind him, on which lay a small white figure, with a round, furry head propped up, and with those big black eyes, staring at each other without blinking. look at him.

Chu Yuzhao's heart skipped a beat, and he recognized that this was the white puppy or fox he had seen during the day when he was about to faint.But now looking carefully from the crystal face, it is neither a puppy nor a fox, it is clearly a cat.

No, it's not a cat either, although its face is immature, its head is much bigger than a cat's...

This is a leopard, a young white leopard that has just been weaned.

Chu Yuzhao was afraid of startling it, so he didn't turn around to look at it, but continued to close the window calmly, watching the little leopard in the crystal surface from the corner of his eye.

I saw Xiaobao raised his right front paw, followed by the movement of closing the window, and moved his left front paw, as if locking the latch. He looked naive, and he was actually imitating him.

Chu Yuzhao also noticed that it had a small jade crown on its head and a bundle of baggage on its back, and was secretly surprised.But after thinking about it, many animals like shiny objects, such as bowerbirds and crows. There was a palace man whose jewelry disappeared and was finally found in the bird's nest in the treetops.This little leopard likes to imitate people, maybe he saw some palace maid wearing a crown, so he stole it and put it on himself.

After closing the window, Chu Yuzhao walked unhurriedly to the bed, threw his outer shirt on the chair, and took off his middle coat, revealing his muscular upper body.

The candlelight fell on the smooth skin, as if coated with a layer of beeswax. With his movements, the lines of his muscles changed, revealing the vigorous power contained under the skin.It's just that there are two old wounds on the chest that have already healed, which respectively traverse the position of the heart, which looks quite shocking.

He didn't deliberately look at the little leopard on the beam, but kept watching from the corner of his eye.He was raising his hand to take off his trousers, but found that the little leopard, who was staring at him, suddenly stretched out two paws and scratched excitedly in the air, sticking out his pink tongue, looking very happy.

Chu Yuzhao paused with his hands on his waist, and stopped his movements. When Xiaobao saw that he didn't continue to undress, he also stopped scratching.

At that moment, Chu Yuzhao suspected that he saw an expression similar to regret on that hairy face.But I felt that I was thinking too much, it was just a beast that didn't understand anything.

Chu Yuzhao went to bed as if nothing had happened, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sleeping, but he was thinking in his heart why this leopard appeared in his bedroom.

If it was said that someone put it in with ill intentions, it would not be such a cub that has not lost its deciduous teeth.And according to the situation during the day, the leopard not only had no malice towards him, but also licked his wounds.

Thoughts were running in Chu Yuzhao's mind, thinking that this cub should have entered the palace by accident, and then bumped into the Qiande Palace by mistake, and he was just curious about him.

After closing his eyes for a while, he gently opened them, and sure enough, the little leopard thought he was asleep, and was sliding down holding the pillar.

Chu Yuzhao lay on the bed and watched calmly, seeing that the little leopard slid to the ground, and raised its claws to support the little jade crown that was shifted above its head.Then he walked lightly to the desk, jumped up, sat down, and took off a small porcelain pot hanging from his neck.

Those two fat claws were as nimble as human hands, grabbing the cork and pulling it out, and then dumping something on the desk.

The author has something to say:

Chu Yuzhao: It’s just a beast

Luo Bai: Are you polite?
