Dressed as a palace cat butler

When the Nanyu Garden was at its busiest, thousands of rare and strange beasts were raised in captivity. The manpower and material resources needed to come to the garden in one day were enough for a hundred ordinary families to spend a year. The hibiscus garden of exotic herbs costs much more money.

But the late emperor couldn't help but never tire of the animals, he would come to the garden almost every day, and even feed the tigers and elephants himself.

The civil officials and loyal ministers in the court went to the court one after another to criticize him. The first emperor restrained a lot because of this. Later, when he became ill in his later years, he was no longer able to wander in the garden, and the Nanyu Garden gradually declined. .

After that, Pei Ye succeeded to the throne. He didn't inherit his father's temperament of loving cats and dogs, and he didn't have much interest in these rare animals.

Today is the first time he has come here since he ascended the throne.

Even though the new emperor had never set foot here, the garden was still cleaned up, and there were stewards and eunuchs and palace officials on duty at the gate to welcome them.

Pei Ye wasn't very interested in those stinking livestock, he just asked the palace man to stop the sedan chair, he led the kitten, and walked unhurriedly towards the "Suanni Garden".

The kitten has keen hearing. Since entering the garden, those two ears have not been quiet, and they are all occupied by the barking in the yard one after another.

There were a few roars that were like thunder, and when they heard it was a huge beast and raptor, Fang Tishuang's hair blew up again, and his whole body shivered physiologically.

When he was approaching the big iron cage where the lion was imprisoned, he seemed to sense the danger ahead. Fang Tishuang stopped on all fours, bit the half-wide collar around his neck, and timidly refused to go any further.

"What?" Pei Ye stopped and looked at him, "Tired?"

Fang Tishuang shook her head, then cowardly meowed twice.

Pei Ye didn't seem to be able to see his fear, but thought he was tired from walking all the way, so he turned his head and told Eunuch Qi: "Chun Ye, you can carry it and go."

"Yes." Qi Chunye leaned over and picked up Fang Tishuang who was on the ground.

Fang Tishuang wants to cry but has no tears, but he can't refuse to go forward in front of Pei Ye, if it annoys him... In case he is thrown into a cage in a fit of anger How about feeding the tiger and feeding the lion?

Before they got close to the huge iron cage, Fang Tishuang heard the thunderous roar of the beast in the cage, and he instinctively retracted his head into Qi Chunye's arms, even though his body didn't smell very good.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Qi Chunye coaxed him in a low voice, "The lion is locked in an iron cage, so it can't bite us."

Only then did Fang Tishuang dare to pull his head out of his arms, and then stared at the giant lion in the iron cage in a daze. The beast bent its legs and looked out of the cage motionlessly. The intention to eat cats.

He heaved a sigh of relief, and the fear in his heart was suddenly replaced by the curiosity that welled up in his heart. He called Qi Chunye a few times "meow meow meow", indicating that he wanted to take a closer look.

Naturally, Qi Chunye couldn't understand the meaning of his cat language, he just thought that he was going to go to the ground to see the lion by himself, so he let go of Fang Tishuang and put Fang Tishuang down.

The end of the leash was still held by the emperor, Pei Ye slowly approached the trapped beast, and Fang Tishuang followed along with him.

One step, two steps.

Pei Yexing was calm and composed, but Fang Tishuang walked cautiously. He felt that the lion in the iron cage would violently rise at any moment, tear open the iron fence, jump out and swallow him in one mouthful.

Just when the man and the cat stood still in front of the iron cage, the lion, which had not moved much before, suddenly opened its jaws towards them, and then jumped and slammed into the iron cage with great force. , hitting the iron fence shook.

Fang Tishuang was stunned, his pupils shrunk, and the cat's mouth opened slightly. For a short while, he didn't even know how to move his body, so he poked there stupidly, turning into a stone-carved cat. .

Pei Ye tilted his head slightly, seeing that the kitten hadn't moved, he thought he was a courageous cat who was fearless in the face of danger.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the trapped animal in the cage slammed its body into the iron fence several times. After realizing that the iron cage was still motionless, it squinted its eyes and let out an earth-shattering roar outside the cage.

"Meow!" Fang Tishuang was awakened from his stupor by this sound. He wanted to run away, but all four hooves under his body stopped working without exception. He was about to run, but it looked like he was on the ground. Crawl around.

When Pei Ye noticed him again, Fang Tishuang had already scrambled and hid behind him.

"Meow meow meow!" Let's go!

Pei Ye glanced at the panicked little cat behind him, and suddenly smiled faintly.

That's right, what courage does a cowardly cat who dare not even catch mice have?

But that night, it was this cowardly cowardly cat who fell from the sky that night and tried desperately to save him from the assassin. Now that I remembered it, it seemed that this little raccoon slave was really intelligent and knew how to be loyal to the emperor and protect the lord.

At this moment, an eunuch came hurriedly here, and Qi Chunye, who was standing behind the emperor, reprimanded in a low voice: "What's going on? What do you look like in a hurry?"

The eunuch hurriedly begged for mercy, then lowered his voice and whispered to Qi Chunye, Qi Chunye's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward and whispered something to the emperor.

Others might not be able to hear it, but Fang Tishuang's ears couldn't be more sensitive. He heard Qi Chunye's words clearly, saying: "Rong Dengde committed suicide in fear of crime."

Pei Ye's expression remained unchanged, he just looked coldly at the huge iron cage in front of him, and then said softly, "I know."

He was as cold as a piece of ice, which made Fang Yishuang couldn't help thinking, even if this giant beast came out of the cage and bit off half of Pei Ye's arm, this person would definitely not cry out in pain, even There will be no red eyes, let alone half a tear.

Pei Ye met the eyes of the trapped animal in the iron cage. The eyes of the beast were bloodshot, the fangs in its mouth were ground flat, and the two front paws holding the iron fence were bloody. The man pulled out his claws.

For the rest of its life, it can only be trapped in this square inch of land that does not allow it to jump.

After a long time, I'm afraid it will no longer remember that it was once a ferocious beast on the forest, will it still make such roars and mournful cries?

How pitiful, Pei Yexin thought.

"Don't watch it," Pei Ye led Fang Tishuang to the direction where he came and went, "It's boring."

Fang Tishuang, who was running ahead of the little emperor while pulling the leash, agreed with what he said, wagging his tail and urging the young man to go faster.

The palace people behind him also hurriedly followed.

Yu Jia soon returned to the main hall, and the palace people who followed him had already turned a blind eye to the emperor's elusive and changeable temperament. After returning to the hall, they went about their duties in an orderly manner.

In the main hall, Pei Ye unexpectedly squatted down himself, and reached out to take off the soft leather collar on the kitten's neck.

Fang Tishuang took a step back subconsciously, while Pei Ye reached out to wrap his arms around the back of his head, and said in a low voice, "Don't move."

Fang Tishuang didn't dare to be disobedient, and obediently let Pei Ye move around his neck.

At the same time, Qi Chunye, who was standing outside the house, suddenly stepped forward quickly, walked behind the emperor, and then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Yang from Qingning Palace brought some young eunuchs here, saying that he wants to see you."

"Let him wait." Pei Ye slowly untied the collar on the little raccoon slave's neck.

To be honest, the collar wasn't too difficult to solve, Fang Tishuang always felt that he was deliberately slowing down like this, as if deliberately leaving Yang Songyuan alone.

outside the temple.

Yang Songyuan, who was waiting outside, led the people to stay under the eaves for a long while, his feet felt a little sore, and finally saw the eunuch in dark red robes coming out of the palace.

The whisk in Qi Chunye's hand moved slightly: "Director Yang, the saint asked you to bring someone in."

"Ancestor Lao has delivered a message for us." Yang Songyuan complimented.

"What about Eunuch Yang?" Qi Chunye said, "Please, everyone, don't dare to keep the saint waiting."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hall. Yang Songyuan, together with five young eunuchs behind him, hurriedly followed Eunuch Qi who was leading the way.

Just stepped into the hall, and smelled a cold fragrance, it is the fragrance used in the imperial palace, no matter how exquisite the material is, one or two thousand gold, even if someone gets this fragrance by chance, they dare not take it privately. use.

Among the six people who entered the hall, only Yang Songyuan dared to take a vague look at the emperor in the hall.

The white jade-like boy on the dragon chair was wearing a crimson embroidered uniform, and in his arms... was holding a white cat that looked like a cotton ball.

It's... rare.

Yang Songyuan first brought the people behind him to salute Pei Ye in the Pei Ye Hall, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager learned that the Rong family's betrayal of the lord was deeply involved. I am afraid that the eunuchs serving in front of the imperial court are too meager, so she sent a special servant I picked a few well-behaved people to show the sage, they are all very upright and clean children."

Before Pei Ye could raise his eyes, the kitten couldn't help but screamed.

Fang Tishuang didn't expect to meet her elder brother here, so she moved towards Cao Silang and yelled "meow meow meow" excitedly without thinking too much.

The emperor heard his call, so he raised his eyes unhurriedly, the five young eunuchs looked very young, even the longest one, he looked only twelve or thirteen years old.

Moreover, their faces are all pretty and pretty, their skin color ranges from bronze to fair, and their facial features range from delicate to soft, each of which is beautiful in its own way.

The queen mother is really...well-intentioned, he thought.

Being scrutinized from head to toe, Cao Silang secretly clenched his fists under his sleeves, almost pinching blood on his palm.

He heard the hateful meowing in one ear, and knew that his brother-killing cat was here, in the same room with him, but his face remained unmoved.

He listened to Eunuch Yang's teachings and kept them in his heart——

If he wanted revenge, he had to learn to endure first.
