Chapter 158: The Palace Forbidden to Keep Cats?
"Slave Ming'er/Little Taro/Little Grass/Little Flower..."
"Slave Xiao Fengzi / Xiao Xia Zi / Xiao Longzi / Xiao Sha Zi..."
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Chitose Chitose. ”
When they arrived at the gate of Tingyuxuan, the palace maids and eunuchs stood in two rows, kneeling down and saluting Lin Ling in unison. Originally, Lin Ling still thought that in front of a group of people, she would pretend to be everyone's girlfriend, after all, with the identity of the eldest princess, she couldn't be too imageless. However, as soon as she heard their self-proclaimed, Lin Ling instantly couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha...... Little madman, little blind, little deaf, little fool......" Lin Ling laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, "You... Hahahaha... What a ...... you guys got this name."
The four palace maids and the four eunuchs knelt on the ground, and when they saw Lin Ling laughing because of their names, they didn't dare to answer casually while being embarrassed.
"Your Highness... , you misunderstood..."Su Lixian thought that Lin Ling had misheard, and explained: "It's the little 'Feng', the little 'Xia', the little 'Dragon', and the little 'Sha'..."
"Alright, alright, got it. Get up, all of you!" Lin Ling watched as the faces of the four eunuchs were almost on the ground, and no longer teased them, but let them get up.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie. Everyone said in unison.
"Your Highness, you changed your clothes earlier, and the old slave retired. Su Lixian shook the dust in his hand and said.
"Go, go, go. Lin Ling was attracted by the decorative beauty in Tingyu Xuan, and was busy going in to enjoy it, so he said perfunctorily.
Walking into Tingyuxuan, Lin Ling seemed to have walked into another style of elegant garden. In addition to the plaque of 'Listening to the Rain Xuan' hanging high above the gate, the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing attract people's attention, and the architectural style inside is also refreshing.
Entering the gate is a very large courtyard, and on the left side of the courtyard there is a lotus pond full of lotus flowers, which occupies almost half of the space of the courtyard. On the right there are two willow trees, and under the willows is a stone table made of stone, around which ten stone benches are placed. The willow branches were luxuriant, and the willows fell as softly as a girl's silky hair, some hung down to the ground, some stopped at the stone table, and some were swaying in the wind.
Lin Ling walked, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind him followed, they didn't dare to speak, and their hearts were uneasy. The people in front followed cautiously, waiting for Lin Ling's orders at any time, and the people in the back gently closed the door.
The teapot and cup were placed on the stone table, and Lin Ling took a special look and found that the stone table, stone bench, teapot and teacup had all been wiped clean. The surroundings are so well kept, it is not like the kind of abandoned yard inside, and listening to Yuxuan being well kept is by no means perfunctory overnight. This shows that even if the master is not in the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs still do their own things and do not slack off. An inexplicable sense of pleasure came to her heart, I really wanted to know this 'eldest princess who cherished fate'! Lin Ling didn't believe it, she was really Ye Chen's sister.
"Meow~"
Suddenly, a cat meow came from behind the stone table.
"There are cats here?" Lin Ling was overjoyed, and glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs with doubts.
"There are no cats here..."
"Like, how can there be a cat?"
"It's forbidden to keep cats in the palace..."
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, did you hear it wrong?"
……
"Misheard, just kidding!" Lin Ling gave them a roll of her eyes and walked quickly to the stone table under the willow tree. I saw a fat and fat cat squatting on the side of a stone bench, the size of a small watermelon, and a small golden bell hanging from its neck, and two words engraved on the bell that Lin Ling did not recognize.
"What kawaii!" the kitten is very well-behaved, Lin Ling held it in her arms as soon as she saw it, it was not angry or barked, it was very quiet. Its fur was clean, and it had a faint scent of jasmine, and the golden bell around its neck was enough to tell that it must not be a wild cat.
"Really... It's really a cat!" Xiao Yao was so frightened that she heard that Yuxuan had a cat, if this was discovered, they would be finished.
"Eldest princess, spare your life!"
Eight people fell to their knees with a 'plop', all of them crying 'slaves should die' and 'slaves should die'.
"Meow~" Seeing this, the kitten was so frightened that she ran into Lin Ling's arms, and the little head went straight to Lin Ling's armpit. The little body trembled, and kept screaming "meow~".
"Oh...... It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, my sister protects you..."Lin Ling coaxed the kitten like a child, looked at the eight people kneeling on the ground, and said, "What are you doing? Look, scare this little guy..."
The others were too frightened to speak, so Ming'er had to pretend to be calm and answer her master: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is forbidden to keep cats in the palace, and those who violate the order will be severely punished." The slaves and maids cleaned Tingyuxuan every day, guarded Tingyuxuan every day, and there was never a cat. But I don't know why a wild cat came in today, and if someone found out, the slaves would be dead. ”
Lin Ling was still holding the little white cat in her arms, and she didn't mean to let it go, and asked again: "It is forbidden to keep cats in the palace?"
"This ......" Ming'er stopped talking, she seemed to know the reason, but she was worried about something.
"What's this? Lin Ling asked, seeing that she didn't speak, she looked at the others and said, "As long as she can speak, are you all dumb?"
"We ......"
"This ......"
“……”
“……”
One and two lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, Lin Ling locked her eyes on the palace maid named Xiao Yao, she was very nervous, and Lin Ling could see that she was a little impulsive.
"It's because of the deceased queen mother..."Xiao Yao couldn't hold back, and blurted out something that shouldn't be said. However, before she finished speaking, Ming'er covered her mouth and said hurriedly: "Don't say it, do you want to die?"
"Let go of her. Lin Ling said to Ming'er.
Xiao Yao shook her head, Ming'er let go of her mouth, and the eight of them knelt like this.
Lin Ling motioned to Xiao Yao and continued, Xiao Yao only kowtowed and said that he didn't dare, Lin Ling asked again, "What's your name?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave's name is Xiao Yao..."
"Okay, you get up. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Yao stood up nervously, Lin Ling handed the little white cat to her, and said, "Come, you hold it for me, don't put it down, if you drop it, I'll ask you." ”
"Your Highness... Regardless of whether the little taro agrees or not, the little white cat is already 'meowing' in her arms.
Lin Ling was so frightened that Xiao Yao was sweaty, her whole body trembled, and she deliberately threatened Xiao Yao: "Now, I'll ask you again." Why is it forbidden to keep cats in the palace? If you don't say it, then this cat is what you brought in, and if you are punished or condemned in the future, don't blame me for not covering you. After a pause, he said to the others, "Also, if it is forbidden to keep cats in the palace, then where did this cat come from? ”
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, slave maid... Slave maid..."Xiao Yao was so frightened that she almost cried.
"Your Highness, the minions think... Thought... This is a wild cat! It is forbidden to keep cats in the palace, and no one dares to raise cats in the palace. ”
"Yes, last month, a lady was found secretly raising a cat, and she was immediately demoted to the cold palace, and she was given white ......silk at night."
"But it's not, the eighteenth prince is only five years old, but because he loves kittens, he was sent out of the palace at a young age and ignorant, and he was never heard from again......"
“……”
The more Lin Ling listened, the more he felt a chill permeating the surroundings.
