The nine princesses of the East Palace

I am a cat, but not a wild cat, I am from Siam, and I am quite rare in the cat race.Therefore, when Siamese caravans travel around and make money, they always like to take me with them, thinking that I can bring them money.To put it bluntly, I am a tool for them to make money.

I was separated from my mother when I was born, and was brought to West State alone.On the way, I saw other cats, they looked very different from me, and their eyes were all the same color, but mine was azure blue and green. It is said that these are mandarin duck eyes, which are rare. Therefore, many people feel very strange when they see me.

I don't like Siamese because I don't know when they're trying to really drown me and when they're just using me to scam money.

The caravan I'm in makes a living by walking the ropes.They are very skillful, walking on ropes is like walking on flat ground, and they can even walk back and forth a few times with a bucket full of water without spilling a drop.It was the bucket full of water that frightened me so much that I always felt that I was going to drown in it.

Once, they really used me as a bargaining chip. They competed with others in walking the rope and placed me on a high shelf to see who could catch me first.If someone else caught me, they lost a hundred gold, and if they caught me first, they drowned me and won a gold.

I was terrified, and I ran away in fear of death.I was small, and I jumped into the crowd from the elevated road, because there were so many people watching the excitement, although the Siamese came to arrest me, they didn't catch me.I hid in hiding, first I hid in other people's stables, and later I hid in a tree. I fled for a long time, and I didn't know where I fled.

I have nothing to eat, I can only drink some rainwater and eat grass when it rains.Although I got rid of the Siamese who were about to drown me, my life was still difficult. There were hunters in the forest, and I was targeted by the hunters. In the heart-piercing pain, I dragged the arrow and got into the grass, not daring to move. The hunter probably saw a new prey, but he didn’t come to catch me. I hid there for a long time before I was exhausted. He wanted to find a cave to hide in.

But I can't walk anymore, I can only crawl like a bug.I don't know how long I climbed, and suddenly passed out.

I was awakened by the pain, and when I woke up, I was in a clump of grass.

The surroundings are quiet, and the sound of running water can be faintly heard, as well as the chirping of insects and birds. I listened quietly with my ears up.I think I'm going to die here because I've run out of strength.

Suddenly, voices came from around me. I was terrified and stared straight ahead.I didn't see anything, I only heard the laughter of a couple of men and women.

Their voices were getting closer and closer, and gradually I could see them, a young man and a young girl.The young man was tall and thin, with the girl on his back. The girl tilted her head and looked at the young man, laughing crisply from time to time. When she smiled, the young man turned his head to look at her, but it seemed that she didn't want to be disturbed by her. When he found out, he turned his head back quickly.

As he was walking, the young man suddenly kicked a stone, and the stone rolled straight into the grass where I was hiding, and hit the arrow on my belly. The pain made me gasp, and I couldn't help but move.

The young master felt very alarmed, and when I moved, he noticed it.He put the girl on a big rock and walked towards me.I was so panicked that I always felt like I was going to be strangled to death.

He was getting closer and closer to the bushes where I was hiding. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, let alone run away.

As soon as he got closer, he saw me, and was taken aback, his eyes seemed a little surprised.He stretched out his hand towards me. His fingers were very long and thin, which were different from the hands of people I usually see. If he used to pinch me, it would be very painful.

I shrank aside in fear, he had already stretched out his hand to catch me, I struggled to no avail, and he lifted me out of the grass.He held me with both hands, put me in his arms, and walked towards the girl sitting on the stone.

I shrank and didn't dare to move, afraid that they would suddenly kill me, so I stared at them with fear and fear.

I have been trained since I was born, and after several months of training, I can understand some human language, but I only heard the girl say that she wants to take me back.The young man was unwilling, saying that he captured me to see that I was white and fat, and it should be delicious.

I trembled in fright, but I thought unconvinced: You are fat for nothing, your whole family is fat for nothing!

Of course he didn't understand the anger in my heart, so he went to talk to the girl out loud.

I was so angry that I didn't understand what they said. I only saw that the boy let the girl sit on the stone, and he squatted aside to rub her feet, because the girl's feet were injured and swollen very high.

When he kneaded, he first pressed it with his fingertips, and then slowly increased his strength when he saw that her brows were not wrinkled.

When I was hugged by the girl, I felt that she was also looking at him all the time, her eyes were wide open. After he found out, she looked down at me as if embarrassed, and looked at him again after a while.

The girl is kind-hearted, she was thinking about the arrow on my belly, and asked the young master to pull it out for me.The young master agreed, pulled out the arrow and applied medicine to me.

"Let's name the cat," said the girl.

They drew up several names, such as Xiao Shi and Xiao Liu, all of them were dead, and they finally said to call me Xiaoxue.The name doesn't seem so earthy, so I'll accept it.

I was taken back to the palace by the girl, but the young man went to some unknown place, and I didn't see him again for a long time.I heard someone call the girl "Nine Princesses", and that son is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Central Plains.

I don't know what the princess and the prince do, but they have servants, so they should be very honorable.

Ninth Princess treats me very well, and always asks people to get me all kinds of delicious food.The first time I ate delicious fish, I was so greedy that I drool.

But she doesn't look very happy, she always hugs me and talks non-stop, she talks a lot.It's always so noisy that I can't sleep.

I knew she was thinking of the crown prince, so it's not easy to tell others. I thought I didn't understand, so I had to tell me.

hum!underestimate me!I can understand!I am a very unusual cat.

In the royal palace, a medical officer looked at my wound and applied the best medicine, and my wound healed soon.No one here wants to drown me, everyone likes me very much, so I got carried away, and ended up suffering a great crime. I was caught by the ferocious Concubine Li, and the Ninth Princess was injured in order to save me.

No one has ever treated me so well. I felt so guilty, and the prince was very angry. He took me away as soon as he came back, probably because he was angry at me for hurting her.

He put me in his sleeve and took me away.I know that his temper is much worse than that of Princess Jiu, so he curled up and dared not move.

He took me to his study and put me on the table.I still shrink back and dare not move.He glanced at me, went out, and when he came back, he had a bowl in his hand, and the delicious smell of fish came from the bowl, my eyes lit up, and the whole cat was boiling.

"Want to eat?" The prince squinted his eyes and looked at me, holding the dishes in his hands high.

want to eat!I nodded the cat's head vigorously, and seeing that he was still, I stretched out the cat's paw and waved it vigorously!It hurts my cat's paw.

"If you want to eat, don't cause trouble for her." He said, "Otherwise, watch out for your life!"

My outstretched paws trembled, the cat's life was at stake, so of course I had to nod.

He finally put the fragrant little fish on the table. I rubbed it little by little, stretched out my claws, grabbed the dishes, looked up at him, and saw that he was not angry, so I grabbed the little fish happily and took a bite. After a meal, I ate until my belly was swollen.

I had just eaten, and before I had a rest, he picked me up and carried me to the woodshed.

He threw me on the haystack, pointed at the two chubby, fat gerbils that were pawing the grass, and said to me: "This is your new friend, Aba and Asha, don't bully them in the future, otherwise , I won’t give you little fish to eat.”

I glanced at the two gerbils, seeing how clumsy they were, unable to get up after a fall, with their pink belly turned up there, I couldn't help stretching out my claws.Seeing me stretching out my paws, they looked at each other, rolled a few times in fright, and disappeared into the haystack.

I lay lazily on the haystack, groomed very comfortably, and thought: Isn't it just a stupid and fat gerbil?Meow is not interested.

Seeing that I didn't chase the two gerbils, the prince stood there for a while and then left.

I fell asleep on the haystack, and when I awoke there were two gerbils standing on the front rafters, staring at me, their eyes wide open.When I moved, they fell from the rafters in fright and began to flee in all directions.

I took a graceful catwalk to see where they were going, but they got even more frightened and climbed onto the roof.

I ignored them and fell asleep on my own. When I woke up, they were still on the roof. What a fool.Bullying such a big fool, I still feel that it is a loss of dignity.But these two idiots always run away when they see me. Originally, they were round, but gradually they lost a lot of weight.

These two idiots and I didn't stay in Xizhou for too long, because the crown prince was going back to the Central Plains, and the nine princesses were going to follow, so the two idiots and I were naturally taken away.

On the way to the Central Plains, I realized that the prince is not that scary.Because he shaded me from the sun.Well, in fact, he didn't cover me, but the Nine Princesses, and I just happened to be held in the arms of the Nine Princesses.

That day, we hurried to a market, and Princess Nine wanted to go shopping, but the crown prince refused.The ninth princess was depressed for a long time.Later, the prince got a nine-link ring from nowhere, and told Princess Nine that if she unlocked the nine-link ring, he would take her to the market.

When Princess Jiu heard this, her eyes lit up. She hugged me, sat on the lawn and untied Jiu Lianhuan.The prince tilted his head and smiled, sitting aside and looking at her.Princess Jiu fiddled with Jiulianhuan for a long time without any clue, so she angrily asked the prince to help, but the prince refused. Princess Jiu wanted to go to the market, so she had to bite the bullet and grope again, but she still couldn't solve it.Tired of untying, she fell asleep leaning on the prince's shoulder.

The sun came slowly, and the sun was a little hot. The prince did not wake up the ninth princess, but raised his sleeves high to block the sunlight above the ninth princess's head.

During the period, the general Pei who was beside him came once, probably wanting to get them up and hurry, but seeing the prince holding up his sleeves while looking down at the sleeping princess Ninth, he didn't make a sound to disturb him.

Suddenly, a strand of hair of the ninth princess covered her eyes, and the prince gently brushed her hair away with his other hand.

I thought at the time, how nice he was to her, I was a bit jealous as a cat.

It’s a long way to go to the Central Plains. The ninth princess has never been so far away. She is a little uncomfortable and often drowsy. Compared with her, I am much more energetic. Therefore, I discovered many secrets of the prince along the way. .

For example, he is sometimes naughty.Once, Princess Jiu fell asleep, and he twisted her hair with his fingers to play, curled it once, then unwrapped it, curled it again, and let it go again. He picked up a lock of her hair and tied it with his hair. After the knot was finished, he seemed very proud, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he showed a smile unconsciously, but when the nine princesses were about to wake up, he quietly pulled The hair is untied.

In addition, every night after Princess Jiu fell asleep, he would come to take a look at her, to see if she was covered with the quilt, and if her hands and feet were exposed, and to tuck her in the corners of the quilt.

Of course, he can be shameless at times.I often take advantage of Princess Jiu's sleep to secretly kiss her on the cheek, forehead, and sometimes on the mouth... Really, is this meow dead?

Well, see no evil.I shouldn't have opened my eyes surreptitiously, but sometimes he gets on my tail and I don't scream and I do him a favor.

Regardless of the good relationship between the prince and the ninth princess, they quarreled a lot along the way, basically every two days.After every quarrel, Princess Nine likes to hug me and stay away from the prince, but her anger comes and goes quickly, and it doesn't take long for her to disappear, and she often looks behind to see that the prince is looking for her no.If not, she will take the initiative to go back to him.

The ninth princess is very easy to coax. If the prince gives her some delicious or fun things, she will lose her temper, and the prince will not be easy to coax. If the nine princesses offend him, she must kiss him, otherwise he will With a straight face, Princess Jiu couldn't resist him, and kissed him angrily every time. After the kiss, she hugged me and ran away. He took out the washed fruits from his pocket and handed them to her to watch her chew them until only the core remained.

Although the prince has a weird temper, his grilled meat is delicious. I have eaten his grilled fish, which is much more delicious than what I ate in Xizhou Palace.However, he was roasted for the ninth princess to eat. I kept tearing the clothes of the ninth princess with my claws, and she gave me one.The fish was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and delicious, and I ate it until there were no bones left.

But I only ate it this time. When I arrived in the Central Plains and entered the palace, the prince was so busy that he couldn't see anyone. The nine princesses often hugged me and murmured about him.But muttering is muttering, if he asked someone to deliver something, she would immediately smile again.

Alas, the human world is really too difficult to understand. It is better to be a cat, of course, on the premise of not being drowned.
