Dressed as a palace cat butler

When Pei Ye carried him back to the cattery, the little cat saw the lanterns and festoons at the entrance of the cattery from a distance. At first glance, he felt very festive, as if he was going to marry him.

Ze Huan led the cattery and all the courtiers out of the hospital to welcome them, and bowed twice to the visitor, one to the young emperor, and the other to their cat master.

"Welcome to the saint, the saint is safe," the palace people said in unison, "Welcome to the master of the twins, and wish the master a happy birthday and a healthy year."

Fang Tishuang had never looked down upon these palace people, seeing them kneeling and worshiping her now, she felt a little uncomfortable, and always suspected that she would lose her life because of it.

So the little cat quickly yelled at them: "Meow meow meow!" Get up, get up!

But the palace people would not listen to him, so the little cat had no choice but to pat the back of Pei Ye's hand with his paw. The emperor led him forward and said casually, "Excuse me."

When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly got up and retreated to the other side, and then Wan'er and Ze Huan took off the red cloth covering the newly replaced plaque in the cattery.

The words on the plaque were inscribed by the emperor himself, the little cat only felt that they were neat and elegant, other than that, he really couldn't comment on why, and he was not very literate, he only knew the last "tang" Character.

"Meow?" He looked up at Pei Ye, and Pei Ye replied, "The cattery was renamed 'Tiger Hall'."

The little cat immediately raised his head when he heard the name. The name sounds domineering, which suits him very well.

Immediately afterwards, Wan'er and Ze Huan both uncovered the red cloth on the couplets on both sides of the gate. The little cat had seen those words before, and they were the words that the emperor wrote and drew on the table in his spare time. .

Although the handwriting was beautiful, it did not prevent him from reading in a cloud, so the uneducated little cat patted the back of Pei Ye's hand again and asked him to translate for himself: "Meow meow? "

What did you write, tell me quickly.

The little emperor looked down at him, and then said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you have learned the Thousand-Character Classic? You can't even read this?"

The little cat immediately looked away, pretending that he didn't understand what he asked.He had learned the thousand-character prose a long time ago. Now that he hasn't reviewed it for a long time, he has already forgotten most of it. It's not bad if he can still remember a few words.

Seeing that Pei Ye did not answer, Qi Chunye, who was on the side, was afraid that the group of people would be so deadlocked at the door, so he hurriedly explained to the little cat: "Master cat, what is written on it is——There are fierce beasts inside, and idlers No entry."

The kitten clapped its paws: "Aww!" Very good!

He likes the words that Pei Ye inscribed on him very much. It sounds very majestic and fits his identity very much.

The kitten was about to rub its cheek against the back of Pei Ye's hand to express its gratitude, but the young emperor suddenly said: "After today, I will invite a master to teach you how to read and write. There will be a test every fifteenth day. , if you slack off, your monthly salary and snacks will be fined."

The little cat opened its eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief.

What he hated the most in his life was studying. In the past, it was because of his poor family. Hearing his brothers and sisters' yearning and longing for the school, he had some thoughts in his heart that he wanted to go to school and study and become a great career.

But since he entered the palace, he accompanied the emperor to review memorials and read policy theory every day, so he knew very well that he had the problem of getting dizzy when he read books and words. Apart from being more fragrant, there is no progress.

It can be seen that he really has no talent for reading and taking exams.

Unlike Pei Ye, who sat at the table for a whole day without getting bored, and read so many words without getting sleepy, the little cat often thought to himself, no wonder he can be the emperor.

"Meow!" The kitten waved its paw fiercely in his arms, and resisted reluctantly, "Meow, meow!"

He doesn't want to read!

"I didn't ask for your opinion," Pei Ye told him coldly, "it's up to everyone."

The little cat immediately showed a mournful face.

The palace people who waited by the side couldn't help feeling a little bit of novelty in their hearts, thinking that these days, if you want to be the imperial cat's pet cat, it's not enough to just be pretty, but you have to be like a human being, and you have to be able to read and write to be successful. .

Not to mention the kitten master, many eunuchs like them don’t even know a single word, but the maidservants are slightly better than them, and most of those who can serve the emperor are officials. Miss, you can read much more characters than these vulgar people.

After all, if these young palace servants stayed with the emperor for a long time, they might not know when they would be consecrated as noble lords. Naturally, their status should not be too humble.

But asking a little raccoon slave to read and write is really a bit ridiculous, but since it was the emperor's intention, the palace people naturally didn't dare to say too much, the smiles on their faces remained undiminished, and they walked along the road to meet him. The emperor and the cat master entered the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a stone sculpture that was newly lifted in the morning. When it was delivered this morning, it was covered with a red cloth. Because it was a gift from the emperor, no one dared to peek at it. Now it will finally be unveiled. Everyone They all involuntarily stretched their heads and stretched their necks.

The little cat suddenly saw such a thing wrapped in red cloth poked in the yard, and guessed in his heart that this might be the birthday gift that the emperor said he would give him, so he immediately forgot the anguish of having to read and write, and shouted Ask the palace people to remove the cloth quickly.

The palace people were already impatient to wait, so naturally they would not slack off, and after saying a few auspicious words, they "swished" off the piece of red silk.

And under the piece of red silk was the cat face of the little raccoon slave. Fang Tishuang was stunned for a while, and then remembered that this was the painting that Pei Ye painted that day. use.

Although he hadn't seen much of the world, he could tell that this stone carver was very good at carving, even the hair and whiskers on the cat's face were lifelike, as if he had cast a living kitten as a mold. like.

The little cat jumped off Pei Ye's arms, and circled around the stone sculpture several times. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the stone sculpture was in line with his own wishes. It was tall and delicate, and the only drawback was that it was not powerful enough.

At first glance, it looks like a kitten that is easy to knead and bully.

The little cat can't speak human words right now, so Qi Chunye praised this stone carving for him with a wink, from the beginning to the end, from the selection of materials to the carving, the little cat just nodded there, thinking that Qi Chunye was right. what he thought.

"In the final analysis, our saints are versatile," Qi Chunye smiled, and then brought the topic back to the emperor, "Not only can painting, but also a good skill in carving, I am afraid that such a good skill, even the stone carving masters outside Can't make it."

Pei Ye was very calm, and didn't really take his flattery to heart: "They are eating this food, it's just a plaything, it can't be compared."

The palace people hurriedly flattered: "Your Majesty, you are too modest."

Compared with the smiling palace people who were busy complimenting the emperor, the little cat's face was more surprised - he didn't expect that this big cat was carved by Pei Ye himself.

This stone carving looks so fine, presumably it couldn't be finished hastily in a day and a half, the emperor was so busy every day, he didn't know when he would spare time to polish that stone carving.

Thinking of this, the tip of Kitty's nose became sour, and his eyes suddenly became wet again.

It's no wonder that some small bloody cuts appeared on Pei Ye's fingers inexplicably recently, Fang Tishuang always thought that he was not careful in practicing the sword, and the sharp sword was scratched.

The kitten has a sensitive sense of smell, and as soon as it smelled the bloody smell from his fingertips, it was reluctant to let him hug it. It had escaped from his embrace several times before, and went to the yard to play on the swing by itself.

The emperor was not annoyed, and never even told him about it.

Seeing that the little cat suddenly stood still in fear, Pei Ye felt a little puzzled, but with so many courtiers present, it would be really impolite for him to squat down suddenly.

So he walked slowly to the kitten's side, and slightly bent down: "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

He never bothered to prepare birthday gifts for anyone before. Those who were close to him would have the help of his grandpa in charge, and those who were not close would have officials from the Ministry of Rituals to do it for him. Can't go wrong.

But this time the birthday gift for the little cat was his own idea from the beginning to the end. In order to polish this stone carving to the best, he even put aside his identity to consult several stone carving masters.

He didn't even dare to make a big show of it, and took time to sneak there every day, firstly, because he was afraid that the kitten would know what he was going to give in advance, and secondly, because he was afraid that others would criticize him behind his back, but he did such a low-level craft.

He really put a lot of thought into it, so he was afraid to see the kitten who didn't seem very interested.

However, Pei Ye saw that the kitten raised its head suddenly, and its eyes were full of tears. When Pei Ye stretched out his hand subconsciously, the kitten jumped up and flew into his arms.

The little emperor froze for a moment, then he raised his hand and rubbed the back of the little raccoon slave's head, the little cat was also very oblivious, and after a while, all the tears fell on His Majesty's lapel.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his head and meowed at Pei Ye for a long time. Although His Majesty didn't understand a single word of what the little cat said, he could feel that the little cat should be a gift to him. This birthday gift is very satisfactory.

"It's good if you like it," Pei Ye felt a little sour and excited for no reason. It was complicated, but it felt good. He waited patiently for the kitten to stop sobbing, and then said slowly, "Lonely And a present..."

As soon as Pei Ye's words fell, the little cat turned his head subconsciously, and saw a person suddenly walking out of the room he lived in before. He also brought a square of skillful scholar's crown upright.

He didn't even need to look much, he just caught a glimpse of a silhouette and recognized his elder brother.

Cao Silang walked up to the little cat in a few steps, and then he bowed to the emperor first, and then bowed to the beaming little cat.

He smiled: "I wish our Shuang'er...Master Shuang'er's birthday is auspicious. Thanks to the grace of the sage, I will follow Eunuch Qi from now on to serve Your Majesty and you in front of the imperial court."

The little cat didn't respond in a hurry, but turned his head to look at Pei Ye first, and the emperor also smiled at him lightly, and teased him: "Why, are you so happy?"

Fang Tishuang was really stupid right now, he felt that it was okay for him to cry now, and he couldn't even smile because of this broken cat face, he really didn't know how to vent his inner emotions.

He felt that he was about to miss this young emperor, and he wished he could pounce on him and bite him hard to get rid of the excitement in his heart.

It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't eat it, and he doesn't dare to gnaw on it.

"Aw!" The kitten was stunned for a while, and then suddenly went mad in the emperor's arms, screaming and shaking its head, "Aw, ow, ow!"

The palace people were startled by the crazy behavior of the kitten master at first, and then they didn't know who was the first to laugh out loud, and the courtyard suddenly burst into laughter one after another.

Even Qi Chunye, who always seemed steady, laughed out loud, and quickly joked with him: "Hey, our cat master is probably crazy about it."

The little cat went crazy, and poor Pei Ye felt pain in his chest from his unconscious kicks, so he hurriedly followed his back: "Okay, okay, if you are alone again, you will have to take this birthday gift back. "

The kitten calmed down very sensiblely, but it seemed as if a torrential rain had started in its eye sockets, and both cat's paws were wet and it still refused to stop.

The emperor sighed softly and had no choice but to carry him back to the house to coax him.
