Dressed as a palace cat butler

After taking a rest today, the new emperor Pei Ye finally had some free time, surrounded by eunuchs and maidservants, he strolled into the Furong Garden unhurriedly.

Except for Eunuch Rong, the one closest to him is one of his servants who has been with him since he was the prince. Today the emperor came to entertain him, and he told him some interesting things about the palace as before.

"Saint, I heard that a mouse was born in the Glazed Palace a few days ago, and you know the temper of the Twelve Princesses. Because of this, all the people in the Glazed Palace were thrown into a commotion," said the little servant with a smile on his face, but his body was tense all the time. He said, "I don't know who recommended it later, and invited the twin masters in the cattery to go. Who knew that the twin masters were afraid of mice, and when they saw mice, they ran faster than the princess."

Pei Ye's eyes fell on the row of begonias that were half withered, and his tone sounded uninterested: "Han Rui is nine years old this year?"

"Yes," the little servant quickly replied, "After the new year is the year of the foreigner."

"It's time to go to school." Pei Ye casually turned back to the topic just now, "Is Shuang'er the one raised by the late Emperor?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory," Rong Dengde replied, "it's the naughty cat that disturbed Shengjia a few days ago—however, when servants served the saints in the past, they often used this pair of cats to catch mice. Sudden sex change?"

Pei Ye's eyes didn't move, these farce and trivia didn't affect his thoughts: "And then? Have you caught all the rats in the Glazed Palace?"

The waiter hurriedly replied: "I heard that Xing Chun who was beside the princess caught one, so the princess asked people to lock up the two masters with the caught mouse, teased it for a while, and then sent it back to the cattery. "

He paused for a while, and then continued: "The princess also ordered that if the twin masters don't kill the mouse, they are not allowed to let the twin masters go out for a day..."

Before the servant could finish speaking, he heard Pei Ye say without interest: "I'm tired, go back to the palace."

The little servant immediately stopped talking, and then followed the palace people behind him and replied: "Yes."

Meanwhile, in the cattery.

Fang Tishuang had been living in the cage with the big fat rat for three whole days, and the whole person, including the cat, was exhausted physically and mentally, and even the dried fish and shredded meat were tasteless.

Because it was the princess who spoke, no one in the cattery dared to release Fang Tishuang from the cage privately, so they had to carefully feed Fang Tishuang through the cover above.

But that mouse obviously didn't get such good treatment. It hadn't had a drop of water in three days, and it had turned from a big fat mouse to a gray and thin mouse. However, its desire to survive was still very strong, and it kept digging and gnawing day and night. That bamboo cage.

However, every time there is a small hole in the cage, the palace people will find it and fill it up in time.

Until this day, the hapless mouse was already starving and dizzy, and finally realized that the cat in the cage was just a silver pewter gun head, and after being locked up with it for so many days, it dared not even fart. put.

If it weren't for the size of the other party, it might have dared to pounce on the cat and gnaw it directly.

So when a little eunuch came to feed Fang Tishuang, the mouse suddenly pounced forward with all its strength, and snatched a piece of dried fish from Fang Tishuang's mouth.

But I didn't expect Fang Tishuang to be quite protective of food. The mouse's behavior angered him at the time. Fang Tishuang, who lost his mind for a while, yelled at the mouse with a paw. It was not enough, and he slapped him several times. Down.

The mouse was already half-starved to death, and Fang Tishuang beat him like this a few times, and he swallowed his breath.

Fang Tishuang, who had reacted, was taken aback by his heroic act. As a rat killer, he stuck his back to the bamboo cage like a victim, with a terrified expression on his face.

But the servant happily touched his head, and then called the other palace people in the cattery to watch together: the master of the two sons has finally regained his glory and can kill the mouse!

Fang Tishuang kept carrying the "weapon" that killed the mouse, that is, his right front paw. The palace people were very puzzled, thinking that Fang Tishuang's move was to shake hands with them, so they all stepped forward to meet him. shook hands.

Fang Tishuang: ...

Just shake hands, but at the end I have to add: "Hey, our twin masters are really smart."

Fortunately, in the end, Wan'er, a palace maid who often played with him, understood what he meant, brought him a basin of clean water, and carefully wiped the paw that slapped the dead mouse for him with a handkerchief. Cleaned up.

"Meow meow meow~" Fang Tishuang licked her finger, and took a small dried fish from her nest as a thank you.

Wan'er smiled: "Who wants your dried fish?"

But Fang Tishuang firmly put the small dried fish in her palm: "Meow!"

If you don't accept it, you will look down on me!

Wan'er smiled and scratched his chin with the other hand, and then picked up the dried fish. This small dried fish was specially made for Shuang'er by the Shangshi Bureau. After a while.

Now that the dried fish came to the door, Wan'er held back for a while, but finally put the dried fish into her mouth.

A little salty, with a slight fishy smell, the taste is very chewy, and it is even addictive after eating.

"Meow~" Is it delicious?

"It tastes good," Wan'er stroked the fur on his back, and then deliberately teased him, "I still want to eat it, Shuang'er, why don't you give me the whole bag of dried fish?"

Fang Tishuang immediately slipped away from her hands, then quickly returned to the cattery, and hid the dried fish that she put in the cattery in another place.

Wan'er, who was peeking at the door, couldn't help laughing for a moment: "I'm teasing you, I really think everyone is as greedy as you."

Fang Tishuang turned her head and bared her teeth.

In the afternoon of the same day, the unlucky gray mouse was washed and shaved carefully by the palace staff, served with a few dry leaves, and sent to his exclusive food plate as an extra meal for him.

At the end, the servant who came to deliver the "afternoon tea" also said to him: "This mouse is a good thing. I have seen all the raccoon slaves who can catch mice, and all of them have a shiny coat color."

"Oh, this palace is only pointing at you, the owner of the cat, to catch mice. Today, the Holy Majesty doesn't like cats. He just turned a blind eye to you because you were the late emperor's pet cat," Xiao said. The servant murmured to him in a low voice, "You can be brave, don't be like that dog master in Qingning Palace, who barks when he sees people, but trembles with fright when he sees mice..."

After hearing what he said, Fang Tishuang's eyes lit up, and after he left, he walked thoughtfully around the food plate containing the dead mice a few times.

Immediately afterwards, he ran out of the house and into the yard, jumped up, bit off a piece of kerchief that the eunuch had left to dry in the yard, and wrapped the dead rat tightly with this kerchief.

Because his current claws are not as dexterous as before, and the same five fingers are not very effective, so it took him a lot of effort to wrap the dead mouse with his mouth and claws.

After everything was ready, he gritted his teeth, picked up the dead mouse, and headed towards Qingning Palace.

Because she was going to do bad things, Fang Tishuang deliberately avoided the main road, and went to places where there were few people.

In the palace for more than a month, although he failed to find Cao Silang, he was almost familiar with the roads in the palace, so this time he didn't get lost again, but walked into Qingning Palace with ease.

Then he took advantage of a small rockery in the palace to jump onto the eaves. Although Fang Tishuang was a little afraid of heights, he still endured it in order to get revenge on that vicious dog.

He followed the smell and sound to find the courtyard where the vicious dog was. The dog also smelled his scent, but it didn't realize that he was standing on the roof and kept barking in his direction. .

Fang Tishuang's snow-white cat showed a human-like sneer, then slowly unwrapped the package, bit the corner of the handkerchief and shook it, and the dead mouse was hung on the evil cloth with perfect precision. above the dog's head.

The vicious dog was startled, shook its head violently, and threw the dead mouse to the ground.

After a while it came forward again and curiously sniffed the thing that fell from the sky. After seeing clearly what the shaved thing was, the vicious dog immediately jumped up and frightened everywhere in the courtyard. Running and jumping, barking non-stop.

At this time, Fang Tishuang, who was standing on the roof tiles, got his revenge and let out an arrogant cry, and the eyes of the vicious dog immediately fell on him.

With fierce eyes, the vicious dog bared its sharp fangs at Fang Tishuang, then jumped down there non-stop, trying to jump to the roof as well, biting Tishuang's neck below.

Fang Tishuang dozed off comfortably on it, the vicious dog had short legs and didn't have the ability to climb trees and tiles like him, so he could only rage helplessly underneath.

When the vicious dog got tired of dancing, Fang Tishuang also got tired of admiring it, so he jumped up the palace wall and went to the rockery where he just came.

He carefully landed on the rockery, and then chose a sunny porch in the courtyard, planning to take a nap.

Fang Tishuang now knows very well that the status of the cat she possesses is quite noble, and as long as she doesn't go to the emperor's palace, no one will drive him away.

The Queen Mother's Qingning Palace has been ignited with earth dragons since the beginning of winter. Even curled up under the eaves outside her bedroom, it is much warmer than other places. Fang Tishuang has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, and now she has turned into a cat. It got better, but got worse.

So he came here to take a nap several times when the vicious dog was not in the courtyard.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone talking in the room. His hearing was much sharper than before, even if the speaker lowered his voice intentionally, he could still hear it quite clearly.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Rong, who is beside the saint, passed on the news that the tonic was delivered to the saint every day as usual, and the saint did not suspect it." It sounded like the voice of Eunuch Yang, who was next to the empress dowager.

After he had finished speaking for a while, Fang Tishuang heard a gentle and dignified female voice, which was the empress dowager, her voice was calm and calm, like water flowing in a stream: "The emperor is very obedient. very good."

"It's just that he didn't come from the Ai family, so it's inevitable that there is some estrangement in my heart." The Queen Mother's tone seemed to be a little worried, but it wasn't entirely true. After all, I was wary of Aijia in my heart, after all, Aijia's fate was poor, and I couldn't conceive a man in this life."

Eunuch Yang hurriedly comforted him and said: "Your Highness, don't feel sorry for yourself. Apart from His Majesty, there are three other gentlemen in this palace, but you are always the Queen Mother..."

Fang Tishuang couldn't hear the latter words clearly, it should be that the two of them walked into the inner hall.

Although he was young, he could also tell from the words of Eunuch Yang that the "tonic medicine" probably had ghosts, otherwise why did he say "suspicious"?

Fang Tishuang soon thought that the people in the palace once said that the new emperor had been weak and sick since he was a child, and it might be related to the "tonic medicine"!

Although he knew that the emperor didn't like and didn't want to see him, he could pretend not to know about it, but he still couldn't help wagging his tail anxiously under the eaves.

The grandfather and grandmother who died young often taught him to be a man with kindness in his heart. Later uncles also often taught him that only by being a good person will there be good rewards.

Even if he was a cat now, he had to be a good cat.

But he wanted to tell the emperor, but he was powerless. He was just a cat and couldn't speak human words, and even if he could speak, the emperor might not believe him, maybe he would treat him as a monster and drag him out quickly Chopped.

Fang Tishuang came to the emperor's bedroom hesitantly, wandered around outside, and then sneaked in.
