Chapter 2 The Pearl of the Palm

After tossing all day, anxious and angry, Zhang Pei was also tired, she didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to her daughter's changes, she was only worried about her husband's affairs, and she didn't think her daughter had any good ideas, so she said, "When the police came, I put daylight in your bedroom, she didn't eat all day, you go back to the room to feed her first." ”

Daylight is a little female cat raised by Liu Yan, is a golden gradient, gold gradually transitions from the back to the belly, like the sun sprinkles, very beautiful, named "daylight" by Liu Yan, daylight is only five months old, Liu Yan begged his father to buy it back from the cattery when it was only two months old.

At first, Liu Yan was very concerned about the sunshine, shoveling and feeding the feces herself, holding the kitten and reluctant to let go, but her interest has always been only three minutes hot, and there are too many fresh things, and soon she was bored with being a nanny for the cat, and threw the daylight to her mother to take care of.

The master bedroom at home belongs to Liu Yan, and she has always been the pearl of her parents in the past. Liu Yan opened the bedroom, and at first glance, she saw a golden kitten standing behind the door, looking at her timidly with big green eyes, and she didn't know how long she had been standing there.

Liu Yan doesn't understand what a golden gradient is and what a British shorthair cat is, these terms are too unfamiliar. She only remembered that a long time ago, her neighbor Yu Meiren in the cold palace used to have a tanuki cat, which was also such round eyes, like glass beads, dripping, smart, elf, and her fur was not so golden and extravagant, but it was also very beautiful.

Since the two yards are next to each other, the Tanuki cat always runs into her yard, and sometimes runs into her bedroom, burrows into her bed, next to her, and sleeps with her, so that those cold days become warm.

But one day, the tanuki cat was poisoned.

Yumei cried like a human, and shouted, "I won't be left with a way to live." ”

It didn't take long for the beauty to disappear.

"Meow," Nikko cried out in a small voice, interrupting Liu Yan's memories.

Liu Yan half-squatted down, stretched out a hand, the cat took a small step back, and couldn't help but lean over, leaning her fluffy little head against her palm, and rubbing it. I circled around her twice, and my tail kept wagging my tail, which was very cute.

Liu Yan took out the cat food from the chest of drawers, smelled the cat food, Nikko's eyes were brighter, and she meowed non-stop, walking to her cat bowl while barking, and looking back to see if Liu Yan had caught up while walking.

I was hungry indeed.

Filled with cat food, Nikko's entire head was buried in it, making a crisp chewing sound.

Liu Yan watched her appetite eat so well, and she couldn't help but soften in her heart.

Next to the chest of drawers is a black upright piano, which is the most valuable piece of furniture in this home, which has accompanied Liu Yan for the past fifteen years. The piano was first learned by Zhang Pei and her daughter as a hobby, but later it became her skill in college.

Liu Yan opened the piano stand, her slender and white fingers gently swiped the keys, and involuntarily struck two light keys, which are the instinctive memory of the body, Liu Yan felt novel and unfamiliar with this Western instrument.

The only musical instrument Liu Yan knows is the guqin, which was taught to her by another of her cold palace neighbors, Mrs. Xu.

Liu Yan's biological mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and after learning of her mother's death and her birth, the emperor instructed the palace people to throw her mother's body out of the palace and gave her a random name 'Yan'.

Liu Yan was raised by her biological mother's own sister, one of the sisters is a singer and the other is a dancer, who was favored by the emperor because of their amazing performances, and was envied and framed by people because of their excessive favor, and they were both sent to the cold palace. They have no names, no titles, and the palace ladies call them Zhao and Xiao Zhao.

In the cold palace, there are so many people coming and going, except for Xiao Zhao, who treats her like a mother, only Mrs. Xu has really accompanied Liu Yan.

Mrs. Xu is different from them, she is from a very noble background, she is a real daughter of a family, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was implicated in her father Xu Taiwei's corruption and perversion of the law, so she was demoted to the cold palace, Liu Yan admired Mrs. Xu very much, and her guqin was taught by Mrs. Xu.

It is also because of Mrs. Xu's protection, she and Xiao Zhao's life in the cold palace is not so sad, but she hates good people and does not live long, and the two people closest to her have left her before and after.

Liu Yan looked intently at the family photo on the piano, and in the photo, Liu Chengyu and Zhang Pei's eyes were on the girl who was laughing wantonly in the middle.

As if sensing her master's sadness, Nikko stopped eating, ran over, and gently bit her trouser legs.

Liu Yan sighed, she leaned over to pick up the cat, and whispered, "Do you know, your master is no longer there." ”

She sat down at the dresser with the cat in her arms, and for the first time took a good look at the body that had given her new birth and was completely different from what it had been. In the past, she had red phoenix eyes, now she has large, deep double eyelids, in the past she has a delicate little nose, now she has a straight nose bridge, in the past she has a cherry mouth, and now she has full heart-shaped lips.

Such a bright and flying girl, more like a princess than her.

Ms. Liu's dresser is filled with a dazzling array of cosmetics and skincare products, and the shelves are full of big-name perfumes, some of which are not even opened. She also has a special cloakroom, in which clothes and shoes are neatly arranged, and the most enviable thing for young girls is her collection of AJ sneakers, many of which she only wears once.

Liu Yan's family is not a local tyrant family, her father is just a salary, but her parents spend all the money on her.

A little later, Zhang Pei called an old classmate, surnamed Sun, who is a lawyer. He gave Zhang Pei a reassurance.

"Although Chengyu is drunk driving, the other party is going in the opposite direction, which is very important, and it will directly lead to the severity of the sentence, and the other is that the other party's family situation is bad, his parents are not in good health, his wife has no job, and there are three young children to raise, and the man who was killed is the only source of income for their family, I think you can talk to their families, you take the initiative to apologize first, lower your posture, and strive to offset the punishment with compensation. ”

But at this time, they didn't expect that this compensation was not something they could afford.

Dinner was late, Zhang Pei was not in the mood to cook, so he ordered takeout, which was Liu Yan's body's favorite braised pork rice.

In the days of the cold palace, Liu Yan was always hungry and full, and when Mrs. Xu was alive, she could still have meat to eat, and later, she could only drink vegetable soup and eat rice bran.

This meal, Liu Yan was very full and satisfied, she took the initiative to help her mother clean up the table, "I'll come." ”

Zhang Pei was stunned, Liu Yan had never done housework before.

"You're too tired today, go get some rest first. ”

As she spoke, Liu Yan had already wiped the dining table.

Zhang Pei had mixed feelings in her heart, she thought that it was an accident that made her unconscious daughter grow up, and at the same time, she was also relieved that the child could finally be sensible, but the price of making her sensible was too great.

"After cleaning up, you go to sleep too, you have to go to class tomorrow, don't worry about your father's affairs, there is always a way to solve it." ”

Liu Yan nodded.

Unlike Zhang Pei, who had insomnia all night, Liu Yan slept soundly on the first night she came to this world, and she hadn't slept so well for a long time. The sunlight burrowed into her bed, like the once beautiful tanuki cat, coiled into the most comfortable shape to keep her warm. In the dream, she was still the princess of the cold palace, Liu Yan, the faces of those miserable women passed in front of her eyes one by one, and the palace maid and servant sarcastically called her Her Royal Highness the Princess. Xiao Zhao, Mrs. Xu, and even Yu Meiren told her that she was an upright princess, and there would always be a day when she walked out of the cold palace.

When she opened her eyes again, the morning light was already shining through the cracks in the curtains.
