[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Xia Anran, who had seen Zhu Yuanzhang last time, was as quiet as a chicken, blinking cat eyes and trying to pretend that she hadn't said anything just now.

Seeing the man's eyes move down slowly, he said rather meaningfully, "The Forbidden City...you don't really need a handle."

"Meow!!" Xia Anran suddenly raised his tail forward, trying to cover the sensitive parts. He screamed, trying to calm down the man who is jealous of cats with his pitiful eyes. It's innocent, the cat just takes a look!

"Humph." The man snorted slightly, and was about to say something when he heard that the priest's ceremonies had come to an end. The women were bowing under the leadership of Empress Xu. Taiji, stepping on the moonlight, walked towards the south.

While walking, he said, "Although you are in the shape of a cat, since you are a man, you must be manly."

"Meow?"

"Men Jiajia, don't always act like a baby, talk well."

"……Meow."

"Don't always stick to women."

"..."

"Otherwise... what's the use of certain organs. It's worse than a lonely eunuch."

This, this is indeed... Xia Anran would cover her face if she could move her hands.He, he might indeed be no match for Emperor Yong Le's eunuchs.The eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty were all real men, and none of them ran away.

"Worshiping the moon is something that girls do. You are a tomcat. What are you doing there? Are you looking for ingenuity or finding a good husband?"

Xia Anran: ...

In general, I always feel that something is wrong.

It seems that there is no problem.

Xia, who is very skilled and has a good husband, An Ran felt a huge shock at that moment.

Zhu Di walked very fast, and it took only a few minutes from Qianqing Palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Xia Anran was carried all the way, and he became numb when he was carrying it. He originally thought that there would be banquets in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it was actually a dark place. Nothing at all.

Xia Anran was a little puzzled, and felt that his body was thrown away. He turned over in mid-air and landed lightly on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Zhu Di said to him condescendingly, "Stay here well."

"..."

"Stop watching the excitement and practice hard."

"..."

"Since I saw you last time, I have only grown so much. Anyway, I live in the Forbidden City of Gu, so I don't have to embarrass Gu."

Xia Anran sat down, patted the ground with her tail, a little sad, "Meow." I didn't want to, but no one taught cats to practice, there was only a weird system, and I didn't teach the normal way, I was just a Just a novice demon.

"Heh, do you need someone to teach you to practice? Are all the little monsters as useless as you?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him lightly from the end of his eyes, with a bit of anger, "Just do it from your heart."

Xia Anran: ...

No, I think it is definitely not the case, even if there is no formula, it is not enough to follow the heart.

And didn't he just say he couldn't understand cat language?Cheat!

Of course, Xia Anran didn't have the guts to say these words. He just looked at Zhu Di with sincere eyes. Zhu Di brushed off his sleeves when he saw this, and pointed out, "Today's full moon night is also a good thing for you and other spirits. You can Mu Yue .”

When he saw Xia Anran's fluffy cat face that said I don't understand what you're talking about, he couldn't help but sigh, so he could only say, "Choose a high place and bask in the moon."

Xia Anran suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed to him, stood up on her hind legs with two front paws to worship, revealing her little furry belly, her little paws stacked together and flipped up and down, her posture was extremely cute.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Di snorted softly, "Cultivate hard, wait until you grow older..." He paused, but stopped talking, but turned around and walked towards Qianqing Palace.

Xia Anran stood at the same place, quite puzzled, if she was older, why would she be older?

He scratched his ears, and licked his paws by the way.

Thinking of Emperor Yong Le's words, he hurriedly looked around, he happened to be in His Highness the Supreme Harmony, why not try climbing the Supreme Harmony Hall?

As for how to get down... Xia Anran is not worried about this problem. Cats are prone to being unable to get down from high places mainly because their paws have barbs. He doesn't have this instinct.

He looked around, stepped on the white marble guardrail all the way to jump to the red wall behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then jumped to the lower glazed tile roof with his strength, and finally climbed to the top in one fell swoop.

Yes, Xia Anran who used to be unable to climb onto the roof can now easily jump onto the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

It walked on it twice and felt a little uncomfortable.

Because the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is inclined, and the glazed tiles are relatively slippery, it always feels easy to fall.

So it jumped gently to the top of the roof. There is a flat land here, let's bask in the moon here!He sat down and looked around.

The moon is very bright today. Although there are no lights in the Forbidden City, he can clearly see the surrounding scenes.

You can also vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the Qianqing Palace.

Probably an illusion, Xia Anran thought, Qianqing Palace is also some distance away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, although he has a keen sense of hearing, it is unlikely that he can hear the voices that are several palaces away.

He actually doesn't know how to bask in the moon, maybe it's the same as the sun?A little uncertain lying on the ridge of the roof, the cool autumn wind blows gently, blowing and blowing, blowing him to sleep.

After a while, not long after he closed his eyes, a person appeared beside him out of thin air.

It was an extremely handsome man who suddenly appeared at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The man lowered his eyelids slightly, glanced at the sleeping kitten on the top, and then sat down at a position a little far away. He was wearing a purple coat and a yellow red ribbon, sitting on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with an obvious inclination It's like sitting on flat ground.

The moonlight sprinkled from the sky and merged into a bottle and a glass in front of him. The man poured the wine in the bottle into the glass very casually, and drank alone against the moon.

The aroma of the wine condensed into substance, like the white mist formed by ice cubes at room temperature, overflowing from the cup and drifting towards Xia Anran.

The man glanced at the wine glass, but there was no reaction. On the contrary, Xia Anran was awakened by the scent. He had just slept for a while, and it was at the time when he was most confused. When he stood up, he didn't see the man sitting below. Stretching first, bouncing on the spot twice to exercise the muscles and bones, and then flicking the tail to see where the fragrance comes from.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the man. He was so frightened that he jumped on the spot and almost fell, but he adjusted his tail in time before landing in embarrassment.

This, who is this?

With no hair tied, no crown, and purple clothes, he must be some emperor?The hairstyle should be from the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Anran didn't dare to approach him, he was just a cat with no special abilities, this kind of emperor-level cat had at least 400 years of skill, since that person came later, sat far away and didn't drive him away, naturally he defaulted to him You can stay here, but the two of you must keep your distance.

Naturally, Xia Anran wouldn't make fun of himself, he shrank away obediently, but the white mist floating from the man's wine glass kept provoking him.

Out of a cat's instinct, Xia Anran saw the ribbon-like mist floating in front of her, she stretched out her paw, and the mist was scattered, and quickly condensed to provoke him again. This time, Xia Anran saw that he had no entity I don't want to pay attention to it, it's just that the fog is flying up and down, moving left, right, right, far and near, really, really hateful!

Xia Anran unknowingly pressed her ears down, her body crawled, her black cat eyes were half-closed and she stared at the white mist, her tail stopped wagging, her hind legs were greatly compressed and bent toward her abdomen, and her strength was directed toward her abdomen. The back half of the body is saved, and the gesture shown is that it has been twisting its buttocks.

Bah, this is the preparatory action!Not ass twisting.

Only after becoming a cat did Xia Anran realize that this movement was for accumulating energy, so as to compress her strength to the extreme, and then she could bounce out in an instant, just like he is doing now.

Before Xia Anran's head reacted, his body first made a judgment that he could attack, so he didn't realize until he was flying in the air, why should I rush into the fog!

With this jump, he was able to jump over the brim of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is 26 meters high, including the foundation of the platform, it has to enter 40 meters. Even a cat at this height is vulnerable to injury.

Under his control, the tail flicked downwards. Xia Anran relied on the cat's flexible spine and strong back muscles to forcefully change direction in the air, and stopped the momentum of the pounce, but what happened later, he controlled it. no more.

The tortoiseshell cat landed heavily on the glazed tile, and then rolled down with a grunt because it was too late to stabilize its center of gravity, and bumped into the man firmly.

The man didn't move, just glanced at his wine glass lightly, the naughty mist had returned to the glass, flying up and down, obviously extremely happy.

The cat behind him was warm and soft, motionless, and looked dizzy. He rolled his eyes slightly, reached out and put the cat next to him, and with a flick of his fingertips, he lifted the wine glass and said, "Drink it."

He cherishes words like gold, and after the wine glass flew out with the momentum, he stopped looking at Xia Anran and poured the wine pot directly into his mouth with the other hand.

Xia Anran's head was a little dizzy, she didn't think much when she saw the wine glass in front of her, she stuck out her little tongue and started to lick it, anyway, this wasn't the first time he drank alcohol, it was the last time!Anyway, it tastes like water.

But beyond his expectation, the smell of wine was very strong!

Xia Anran couldn't help sticking out her tongue after only one sip, ok, it's so spicy, it makes her stomach feel hot after taking a sip!

But after smashing his mouth, he felt delicious again. Although the mouth was very spicy, it would not prick his mouth. He couldn't help but licked it again, licking his little tongue, and finished drinking the wine while feeling spicy. After drinking the cup, I feel a little dizzy.

But the whole person is so comfortable.

Xia Anran showed a happy look in her eyes, and her little beard was shaking. Although she was sitting, she was already a little top-heavy.

It's just that it looks quite straight on the surface, but in fact it has become a limp cat.

"Meow~" He thanked people with his tongue out. The man didn't turn his head back, but stretched out his hand and flattened the kitten on the eaves. It was strange to say that it should be the glazed tiles that were branded, but now it was soft Like a small cushion, Xia Anran only struggled for a while, but couldn't resist, and fell asleep in a puddle of cat cake.

This time, he was completely different from the vigilant posture of prostrate on the ground just now, and used the reassuring posture of lying down.

The long sleeves completely covered the cat inside, and after a while he could hear the cat purring.

The man slowly withdrew his hand from the soft cat, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

The moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the place is extremely empty. At first glance, it seems that the bright moon is right in front of you, very close.

Sitting on the commanding heights and center of the majestic Forbidden City, enjoying a round of bright moon and drinking fine wine, such an extremely enjoyable thing seems not worth mentioning in the eyes of a man. His eyes are cold and there is no wave, as if just to complete a It's just a task.

The smell on his body made Xia Anran feel very familiar, but not so familiar, but she was very reassuring. It was like the corner where he had been hiding all the time, with a woody and dusty smell.

What is it like~

Xia Anran can't think of it, his head is fuzzy now, and he can only fall asleep in the autumn wind.

In the dream, he vaguely saw tens of thousands of craftsmen going back and forth to build the palace.

I dreamed that the giant white marble was lifted from the road sprinkled with ice water and placed on the apse of the Baohe Palace. The best stonemasons in the country bent over it and carefully carved auspicious clouds and dragons.

It’s also like seeing the emperor and his ministers drinking together in the Hall of Supreme Harmony under a full moon, and the little princes and princesses in the harem playing with fireflies and lanterns under the watchful eyes of the concubines.

I saw the first three members of the first class after the capital was moved out of the Meridian Gate with their heads held high.

I also saw the lonely concubine gradually closing her eyes, seeing the eyes of the smug ministers gradually clouding, seeing the emperor getting old and his successor taking the throne.

Seeing that the dynasty is gradually decaying, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has changed from the original family reunion to the writing machine.

Seeing the emperor's smile gradually turned cold.

The young prince was hidden in the dark by the eunuch, but in the end he watched the eunuch commit suicide by swallowing gold, and a tear fell from his eye socket.

The wise emperor punished treacherous ministers while chatting and laughing, relieved disasters and exempted gifts, and did whatever he wanted, but the only thing left in the world was the word leopard house.

The young emperor ascended the throne in the Fengtian Hall with his head held high, his eyes cold under the crown, he worked hard for governance in the first half of his life, but he believed in governance by doing nothing in the second half of his life.

Also watched, after the eunuch blew his whip, the emperor sat alone in the empty square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Afterwards, the palace soon became lively again. The royal family dressed in completely different costumes settled in, with different customs and different etiquette. The same thing was the vitality of the dynasty he was familiar with when it was emerging.

To govern the people, to educate, to protect the land, and to open up borders.

There are right decisions and there are proven wrong ones.

There are emperors who work hard to govern, and there are also those who are addicted to women's sex every night.

There are wise old queens, and there are also those who hold power.

The young emperor opened his eyes, and the desire for power was in his eyes, but in the end he failed and was imprisoned in depression all his life.

Only the road that the emperor can step on is lined up by foreigners. They snatch treasures and sit on the throne of the Golden Temple for a group photo. Greedy soldiers scrape the gold plating on the water tank with sabers. They ride on the stone lions and shout loudly. He tore off the plaque and looked at it curiously, then threw it on the ground, chatting and laughing while wandering, saying long live my emperor in a weird tone, and then laughed.

They trampled on the dignity of the dynasty under their feet.

He saw a little child being pushed to sit on the empty and hard throne in the heavy snow.

All the civil and military worship outside, the children in the Hall of Supreme Harmony flutter their big eyes full of innocence.

Then the child's heavy imperial crown was removed, and he was free to play around the Forbidden City, lying on the wall giggling and looking for his palace servants.

Then the kid grew up and was pushed to the throne again, this time with panic on his face.

During this period, the fire and thunder that fell from the sky exploded in the most noble palace complex in China, and the nobles fled one after another, leaving the empty palace without guards to be ransacked over and over again.

After hearing bursts of gunfire, the palace was idle.

In the Forbidden City at this time, the bricks and tiles were broken and weeds were overgrown.

Like every ordinary house that lost its owner, it slowly fell into decline.

Then some people moved in. Ordinary people who didn't wear official uniforms padded their feet inside and looked inside the closed palace.

The Forbidden City was renamed the Palace Museum. Many tourists came to visit, and the grown-up children were also mixed in the crowd. He looked at the Hall of Supreme Harmony with complicated eyes, and his wife stood beside him. The wife gently held his hand. Walking side by side with the crowd, he smiled and told his wife some little secrets of the Forbidden City, but there were tears in his eyes.

There was a person who refused to work here, and only looked at the palace wall, but did not step inside, but ordered a lot of documents to protect this place.

The weeds on the roof were removed, the rubbish on the ground was cleared, and the illegal structures were dismantled. Experts and professors began to settle in the Forbidden City. The protection and repair measures were gradually improved. The ancient palaces gradually restored to their former glory attracted more and more tourists and foreigners. dignitaries.

As a courtesy to foreign guests, they can drive straight into the Meridian Gate by car.

until one person.

After multiple applications were rejected, he directly closed the Meridian Gate and asked the President to get off.

Since then, no one can drive straight into the Meridian Gate.

More and more young people want to work in the Forbidden City.

More and more tourists no longer regard this as a tourist attraction, but borrow the explainer to listen and look at it.

There is an endless flow of tourists, and more and more people love him, appreciate him, and protect him.

——"Zi Weiyuan is the guardian of all stars, the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars."

"I will bestow Zizi characters on Beigong, wishing him to be naturalized in all directions, protected by virtue and ability, and to last forever."

"Hence the name,"

"The Forbidden City."

——"Now there is no emperor, and the emperor's home will belong to the people in the future."

"I decided to open this palace and let the common people come in and have a look, and let them know that now is the era when the common people are the masters of their own affairs, and there is no emperor anymore."

"Since this is the case, it is not appropriate to keep the name of the Forbidden City. We don't want to [forbid] the people to come in. Now is a new era, so why not use the word [Gu], the palace of the past, the dynasty of the past, Bygone times."

"Then you might as well add the word [Museum], as the so-called "Museum" is known, understands the past and the present, and takes the "Forbidden City" Palace as a record. It will enlighten our people's wisdom, open our people's horizons, and open up our glory in the new era."

"This name is changed to [The Palace Museum]"

The chaotic dream ended in a man's soft words.

Xia Anran was woken up by someone.

"Oh, why did this kitty sleep on top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, kitten, kitten?"

"Ah, wake up, wake up,"

"kitten!"

"Hey! It's time to get up! You must have slept too soundly!"

Xia Anran was awakened in a daze, looked around blankly, shook her confused head, and followed the sound.

Ah, it was the first patrol officer and dean of the Forbidden City.

"Meow~" Good morning, Dean.

"So it's Xiao Hei, you've reached the age where you can climb roofs."

Yes... Humans are creatures who will name cats whatever they like.

Xia Anran's official name is Heihuang (no, is this really a serious name?) In addition, there are small collar, small black (taken from the color), small scroll (taken from the curly hair), baby, cub, dolls etc.

Although it is in the Forbidden City, the way everyone chooses the name is unexpectedly simple and rude.

Xia Anran saw that the patrolman who came over after a while took a big net, and was silent for a while.

Of course, this net is not used to catch butterflies or anything... Generally, it is used to save cats.

... Yes, of course he knew this, he watched it several times.

Xia Anran sat on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and called "meow woo woo woo" to the patrolmen below.

It's not that the cat can't get down anymore, it's just that the cat can't get down after waking up.

"Okay, okay, I'll save you right away, don't be afraid, Xiao Hei."

Xia Anran: ...

It’s really not to blame for the patrols to misunderstand the meaning. Generally, cats wake up after sunrise. They do hunt at night, but they usually go to sleep around 3 o’clock, and then wake up in the morning.

It depends on the cat's main prey.

The activity time of mice is around 11:2 pm to [-]:[-] am, and the early morning is a better time to catch birds.

Of course, the activity time of rats in the city is definitely not the same, but the biological clock of rats in the Forbidden City is relatively traditional, so seeing cats on the eaves long after sunrise, the staff naturally thought that the cats were descending no more.

The staff is very used to this situation, after all... the cat, hehe, no one will be surprised if anything happens.

The people below were divided into two teams. One team made various exaggerated movements to attract the cat's attention, while the other team slowly approached from the side holding the extended net bag. The cooperation was very tacit.

Xia Anran glanced at them silently, and after a moment of tossing between "jumping down and letting them work for nothing" and "forget it, I'll make you happy", she obediently was caught by the net bag and hung down.

"Oh, you bastard, why did you get up there?" The old man smiled and took the cat in the net pocket, licked the cat's head, and put it on the ground, "I fell asleep on it if I couldn't get down, my heart is really good big."

"The grade is still young, the kitten is always stupid."

"It's not too young, it's almost time to be sterilized."

Xia Anran:? ? ? ? "Meow!!!!!?!!!!"

"Oh, it seems to understand." The patrolman poked the tortoiseshell cat's buttocks from behind with a smile. "This year, the number of cats in our Forbidden City has increased again. It seems that several cats have come in outside."

"Well, Xiao Liu and the others told me that we will adopt after the National Day, and send them out before winter. The kittens are easy to get, and the main thing is to push the kittens. The old cats are already used to this place. Let them go if they don't want to go. Keep it."

Xia Anran hugged the dean's calf with both paws, meowing and frantically rubbing her cheeks on the human leg, the cat is still so small!It's time for cats to be neutered!Dean, dean, look at me!Dean!

"Oh, how excited to hear about the adoption? Yes, after being adopted, I have a home anyway. I heard that young cats are very particular about raising cats. Food and drink are all imported, and cat litter and cat toys are all imported."

"Meow~" Xia Anran yelled over and over again, fully expressing his reluctance, but it is a pity that the dean who is busy checking the situation in the hospital before opening still has important things to do, they Abandoning him, Shi Shi ran away.

Xia Anran: ...

The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, little angels.

Yes, you already know what this problem is. In fact, someone guessed it right yesterday. Hahahaha, it’s the sterilization problem.

Xia Miao: I can't live through this day!

When I wrote the memory of the Forbidden City, I burst into tears. In fact, I really think that the Forbidden City is no longer the Forbidden City. He must be very sad, but unfortunately he has no choice.

But I also think that the current Forbidden City may not be bad, I don't know if I can express it.

I saw a sentence, but I forgot where I saw it, 【A sentence you read in history books may be their whole life】

That's when I felt so sad...

===

When Puyi visited the Forbidden City, his wife must not have been with him, and they were not married when the Forbidden City opened the exhibition.But I wrote it anyway, because I am a person who likes old-fashioned HE.

The current dean is really a very powerful person. When he refused the French President Hollande to enter by car, he was really courageous. I think he really used his career to maintain the dignity of the Forbidden City.

I knew about it, but didn't know the process was like that.If you are interested, you can search it on Baidu. Fortunately, he was not punished in the end.
