Dressed as a palace cat butler

The Daming Palace where the emperor lived was much larger than the Qingning Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. Fang Tishuang did not dare to wander around here when he was free. Following the palace people, they walked inside cautiously.

Until he saw the maidservants of the Shangshi Bureau carrying covered dishes and passing by not far from him in a line, Fang Tishuang immediately seized the opportunity to follow quietly.

Following the palace maids to the outside of the palace where Pei Ye is currently, Fang Tishuang didn't dare to follow in, so she had to nest under the eaves and listen to the movement inside.

It sounded like there were quite a few palace people inside, presumably they were serving the emperor for dinner.

Fang Tishuang was a little frustrated, he stayed in this palace for more than a month, and fortunately he only saw Pei Ye twice, once when he was chased by that vicious dog and almost ran into his sedan chair, and once, when he was far away. Suddenly saw him followed by a mighty team of palace people, going to the Queen Mother's Qingning Palace to pay her respects.

Without exception, the little emperor will always be surrounded by palace people, and he looks like he hates himself, and it is inconvenient for him to communicate with normal people, so if Fang Tishuang wants to tell him something, it is simply impossible. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Just when he was downcast, a small servant who was passing by suddenly found him, and the little servant looked a little surprised: "Master Cat, why are you here?"

Fang Tishuang immediately turned around and ran away, the eunuch subconsciously chased after a few steps, but Fang Tishuang had already run away and disappeared.

Pei Ye in the room vaguely heard the commotion outside, and frowned slightly: "Who?"

Rong Dengde hurriedly took a few steps outside, and then asked, "What's bothering you?"

The little eunuch outside quickly ran in, bowed his head and knelt down to apologize: "If you go back to the father-in-law, it is the master of the two sons. As soon as the servant makes a sound, it will go away by itself."

Rong Dengde nodded, and the little eunuch bowed his waist and retreated as soon as the dust rose.

"Your Majesty, you are the master of the cattery." Rong Dengde returned to Pei Ye's side, and then smiled obsequiously, "Maybe this little beast followed the scent of the imperial meal by mistake, and Chun Ye, who was waiting outside, drove him away." went."

He knew that Pei Ye didn't like cats since he was a child, and he didn't like to see this twin son left by the late emperor, so he deliberately didn't call it his master in the second half of the sentence, which meant to please Pei Ye.

But he didn't expect that Pei Ye not only didn't appreciate it, but also said in a cold voice: "It is the late emperor's pet cat, the word 'animal', can the father-in-law call it?"

Pei Ye's expression did not change, just this one sentence made Rong Dengde break out in a cold sweat, he immediately slapped himself twice, and then lowered his head, "It was the negligence of this servant..."

"A momentary negligence?" Pei Ye's tone was a bit solemn, "Elder-in-law is also an old man in this palace. He has been with the late emperor for more than ten years. Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

Rong Dengde's complexion changed, and even when he knelt down, the servants and eunuchs all around him also knelt down towards Pei Ye.

"Your Majesty calm down, it's because the slaves are confused."

Pei Ye stood up, walked in front of him, and looked down at Rong Dengde's hair: "Eunuch Rong, I just remember that when the late emperor was around, you were facing those two sons, but the cat master shouted diligently—what? Now that the late emperor has gone, it has become a little beast that can be ridiculed by others?"

Rong Dengde quickly slapped himself a few more times, but this time he used his strength, and then he kowtowed heavily, and said in a slightly crying voice: "Your servant is confused, it was indeed a slip of the tongue just now, don't dare to lie His Majesty."

Immediately afterwards he added: "Your servants treat the late emperor and your majesty like a sunflower turning towards the sun, and they have no two minds! The late emperor has the virtue of regenerating slaves, and your majesty has the grace of regenerating slaves. , and told the servants to be struck by lightning from the heavens, and die a terrible death!"

Pei Ye lowered his head slightly and looked at him silently.

He didn't say a word, which made Rong Dengde even more anxious and anxious, but he still kept telling himself to calm down and wait for Pei Ye to speak first.

After a while, Rong Dengde heard Pei Ye casually say, "Really?"

Without waiting for Rong Dengde to express his loyalty again, he heard Pei Ye say again: "But why do you only hear that the father-in-law's adoptive son, Tong'er... has been going to the Queen Mother's place more frequently recently?"

"Your Majesty dare not lie to Your Majesty," Rong Dengde kowtowed again, "It was originally His Highness the Empress Dowager who instructed this servant to say that Your Majesty has been weak since he was a child, and he has just inherited the throne recently. Everything is complicated, and it is inevitable that he will be exhausted. I came to visit, but I was afraid of annoying His Majesty, so I asked my servants to send Tong'er to call back every day to inform the Queen Mother of Her Majesty's daily physical condition."

Pei Ye was thoughtful, and his tone had obviously softened: "Then why didn't the eunuch tell Gu earlier?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is Her Highness the Empress Dowager who prevents the servants from saying it."

"I think my mother is afraid that I will know. Even if she is sick in the future, she will not let Tong'er tell her the truth." Pei Ye's face was a little moved. I've always been great."

Rong Dengde breathed a sigh of relief, but he still dared not express his anger on his face.

"Elder-in-law, get up, just now you are lonely."

Rong Dengde thanked him, and then stood up with a bowed body.

Pei Ye returned to the food table, and sat down slowly: "Did Tong'er answer the phone today?"

"Return to His Majesty, not yet."

"Then send him to report to the Empress Dowager that everything is fine, please don't worry about it."

Rong Dengde hurriedly bowed his head in response: "Yes."

Fang Tishuang, who was under the eaves outside, eavesdropped on the whole process, and was too frightened by the movement inside to dare to speak out. As soon as the servant left, he immediately ran back to the eaves.

However, although he listened to all the conversations between the two, he still only knew the twists and turns in it, and didn't know why.

Fang Tishuang thought for a long while, finally digested a little hazyly, and felt that she might have misunderstood the Queen Mother, but she couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother said those things in Qingning Palace.

After the meal was removed, after a while, a little palace maid suddenly stepped into the room with a bowl of hot soup. The reason why she could guess that it was soup was because Fang Tishuang smelled it. There was an unpleasant smell of boiled medicinal materials, and just after smelling it, I felt a burst of bitterness at the tip of my nose.

Soon he heard Rong Dengde inside said: "Sage, take a rest for a while, the important thing is to drink this soup first."

The ink pen in Pei Ye's hand didn't stop: "Let's put it there first, let it dry for a while before drinking."

"The imperial doctor said that it is best to drink this soup while it is hot."

Pei Ye didn't respond anymore, his eyes only fell on the memorial in front of him, and he complained after a while: "Mr. Cui Ge will have an exam tomorrow, if Gu makes a mistake, he will scold Gu bloody , how dare I rest?"

"Elder Cui Ge is a bit harsh, but in the end it is for His Majesty."

"Guyou doesn't know?" Pei Ye sighed slightly, opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but in the end he just said, "That's all, who made him the one chosen by the late emperor."

After a while, seeing the sunset in the sky fading away, it was getting dark, Fang Tishuang waited anxiously, the cat was outside under the eaves, wagging its tail anxiously.

Until he heard Rong Dengde's voice inside again: "Tong'er, take your majesty's medicine and warm it."

Before Tong'er could answer, Pei Ye suddenly said: "No need, just bring me a drink."

Rong Dengde then leaned over to pick up the bowl of soup medicine, and was about to bow and present it to him, when he saw a pure white shadow suddenly flying in from the door.

In desperation, Fang Tishuang let out a "meow".

At that moment, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on him.

Fang Tishuang was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he began to regret one after another in his heart, but it was already here, he suppressed the desire to escape from this room, and faced the emperor sitting on the high hall tremblingly Called a few times.

Those few Fang Cries Shuang almost made a trembling sound, her back arched slightly, and even the hair on her tail twitched.

Fang Tishuang's mind went blank, and it was obvious that no matter how hard he howled now, it couldn't change the fact that he and Pei Ye couldn't communicate at all.

He just stood there in a daze. Rong Dengde wanted to reprimand him, but he remembered Pei Ye's beating just now, so he didn't dare to speak again.

"Master Shuanger," Rong Dengde took the lead to break the slightly awkward scene, "What are you doing here, but you went the wrong way again?"

Fang Tishuang didn't answer, of course - even if he wanted to answer, he was powerless.

But at the next moment, Fang Tishuang was suddenly blessed and thought of a plan, so he immediately turned around and ran out, waited outside the door for a while, then turned back, ran out again, and turned back again...

After going back and forth like this several times, Rong Dengde was a little curious: "What's the matter?"

Pei Ye: "Go out and have a look."

As soon as Rong Dengde came out, Fang Yishuang led him to another place. At first it ran very slowly, and occasionally stopped to look back to see if Rong Dengde was keeping up.

When he felt that it was almost done, he burrowed into the darkness and disappeared.

Fang Tishuang, who disappeared, quickly walked back to the palace where the emperor was from the other side, and then bravely jumped onto the emperor's table, pointed at the bowl of soup with his front paws, and then shook his cat desperately head.

Pei Ye met his blue crystal-like bright cat eyes, and there seemed to be doubts in his disgusted eyes: "Do you want to drink?"

If it wasn't for the fear of causing decapitation, Fang Tishuang really wanted to give him a blank look.

How could there be such a fool in the world?Why can he be emperor?Fang Tishuang thought angrily in her heart.

Soon, Rong Dengde, who was sent by him, also came back, seeing Fang Tishuang who dared to jump on the emperor's desk, he hurried forward and hugged him down.

"You kitten, you are so naughty, this is not a place for you to play around..."

Fang Tishuang, who was held in Rong Dengde's arms, couldn't struggle, and could only watch helplessly as the silly emperor drank the bowl of soup.
