Chapter 49

The daughter's eyes looked at her like she was looking at a junior, Zhao Zhen felt that her daughter should not know her true body, if her daughter knew Chen Zhao, it would be impossible not to tell her, afraid that she would stare at her so much and see what clues, she lowered her head and changed the topic and said: "I prepared a congratulatory gift for Your Highness, it is a cat, I don't know if Your Highness likes it or not." ”

Chen Yu looked at the girl who lowered her head in front of her, and her thoughts turned a thousand times, this girl is indeed very similar to her mother, and she can't help but look like a child, every time Xuanxuan comes back from Shenlongwei, she will tell her what happened in the barracks, and the most talked about is this "little cousin", the description in the words makes her feel very familiar, she is sure that the girl in front of her is not as simple as an orphan of her uncle.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Oh? Present it and take a look. ”

Generally, the congratulatory gifts sent by the guests will be registered with the steward first, and they will be stored temporarily, and they will not be sent to the eldest princess immediately for the eldest princess to pass the purpose. And Zhao Zhen was first brought in by the county lord himself, and now she has received special treatment from the eldest princess, which shows that she is not ordinary.

After inquiring in private, everyone found out that it was the granddaughter of Qi Guogong who came back from the countryside, the mother of the eldest princess, and her appearance and temperament were so temperamental that she couldn't look like a country girl, but sending a cat was too shabby, right? The cat is a lowly thing, where someone uses it as a gift, or for the noble eldest princess. Some people whispered that the country lady who came back from the Qi State Mansion was not knowledgeable, and the Fang mother and daughter who followed up did not have any sense of sharing honor and disgrace, and they also had a lively expression, just waiting for Zhao Zhen to be embarrassed.

Fu Ningxuan listened to her mother's words, ran to bring the cage from her subordinates, lifted the cloth and showed it to her mother: "Mother, look! This cat looks so curious! ”

Chen Yu looked at the cat in the cage, and was shocked at this look, the cat in the cage looked like a tiger and a leopard, with a beautiful body, and there was no fear when he saw so many people at first glance, sitting in the cage and looking around, very majestic.

The cat in the cage showed its true body, and everyone present was stunned, what kind of cat is this, it looks so strange, it is not a vulgar thing at first glance, and it is a probe to look at it for a while.

"What kind of cat is this?" The eldest princess asked everyone's thoughts.

Zhao Zhen replied: "This is a tiger cat, selected from a thousand miles, trained and very clever. She opened the cage and took the cat out and put it on the ground, and the cat didn't run around, but sat upright and looked around with her head held high.

Zhao Zhen took a small food box from his subordinates, took a dried fish from it and shook it in front of the cat's eyes, and the cat looked at it, stood up, and shook its tail from side to side.

Zhao Zhen raised his hand, threw the dried fish high, the cat jumped up all of a sudden, more than one person tall, shocked everyone shouted, only to see it accurately bite the dried fish in mid-air, and then neatly turned over and fell, chic and light, chew and chew the dried fish.

Zhao Zhen took another dried fish, turned a circle in front of its eyes, and the cat rolled on the ground with her circle movements, well-behaved and obedient, Zhao Zhen fed the dried fish to it, stretched out his hand to it, and pointed at its right paw, it raised its right paw to high-five her, and pointed to the left paw to high-five her, Zhao Zhen ordered it to rush to the eldest princess: "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess on her longevity and health." ”

The cat stood up and bowed to the eldest princess as if it had become a spirit, and now everyone dared not underestimate a cat.

Chen Yu looked surprised, picked up the cat and touched it: "This cat is too clever!" It's so flattering. After that, he kissed the hairy cat's head, obviously in love.

My daughter liked it, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and brought the dried fish to her daughter: "Your Highness can try it yourself." ”

Chen Yu was eager to try, completely lost his graceful appearance, put the cat on the ground, took a dried fish and shook it in front of its eyes, and then threw it out.

The cat rushed out like a bolt of lightning, caught the dried fish before it landed, took the dried fish back, stopped in front of the eldest princess before chewing and chewing it, and then pouted its buttocks, shook it from side to side, and waited for the next dried fish, which looked very cute.

Chen Yu looked at the smart and clever cat in front of her, there was light in her eyes, since the death of the cat that her mother taught her, she had never seen such a clever cat again, can this little girl actually train cats?

Chen Yu was about to ask her who she had learned from when a dog barked.

"Woohoo!" A brown-haired dog suddenly came out and ran towards the cat, the cat quickly jumped up flexibly and dodged the rushing dog, the brown-haired dog did not pounce on it, stupidly bumped into the chair leg, and folded back, and rushed towards the cat with a dog's mouth, obviously trying to bite the cat.

This time the cat did not hide, arched itself, bared its fangs, and whined intimidatingly.

The galloping brown-haired dog was frightened, suddenly stopped and took a few steps back, and then pounced forward with his front paws, making a posture of bowing and surrendering.

Chen Yu looked at it and sighed: "This cat is really strange. ”

Fu Ningxuan ran over and picked up the dog and knocked it on the dog's head: "Baibai, look at your little bit of talent!" "That brown-haired dog is Fu Ningxuan's pet dog.

Zhao Zhen took out an embroidered delicate sachet and handed it to his daughter: "Your Highness will wear this sachet on your body for thirty days, and after thirty days to take it off, this cat will recognize the owner." ”

Chen Yu took the sachet and looked at the little girl in front of him very happily: "Your congratulatory gift is very much in line with the heart of this palace, and it is the best gift this palace has received over the years." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at her daughter with relief: Baby daughter, you just like it.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned by her seemingly loving expression, but before she could think about it, a eunuch's shrill voice said, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down, Chen Yu walked outside to greet his emperor's younger brother, Zhao Zhen and Fu Ningxuan followed behind.

Chen Yu celebrates his birthday every year, and his father, mother, and younger brother will come, but now that his father and mother are gone, only his younger brother will come over this year, and he can't help but feel a little sad when he thinks about it.

Chen Qing strode over, followed by Ming Xiahou Fu Yuan and Fu Yunheng, Chen Yu wanted to salute, he hurriedly said: "Why should the imperial sister and the imperial brother be polite, the imperial brother wishes the imperial sister a happy birthday, every year and now!" ”

Chen Yu looked at his younger brother with a smile: "Your Majesty is like this every year, didn't you say last year that you would change your congratulatory message this year?" "Even if Chen Qing becomes the emperor, the sister and brother are still very intimate, Chen Qing was the best for him when he was young, Chen Yu was the best, and his feelings for his sister are deep.

Chen Qing patted his head: "Look at the memory of the imperial brother, as soon as I see the royal sister's happiness, I forget it, the imperial brother will definitely change the sentence next year." After that, he looked at Zhao Jin next to him, and raised a deep smile at her: "Jin'er has also arrived." ”

Zhao Zhen was looking for his precious grandson, but he was a little disappointed when he didn't see it, and he came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and saluted: "See Your Majesty." ”

Chen Qing smiled at her and said, "No need to be polite. ”

Chen Yu glanced at his younger brother and Zhao Zhen, his eyes wandered, and said, "Your Majesty, come and see, Jin'er gave me an excellent gift." So saying, he brought him in and picked up the cat on the ground.

Chen Qing was also surprised when he saw the cat: "This cat is unique, what kind of cat is it?" ”

Zhao Zhen explained to her son again, and her son also wanted to watch the performance, so she demonstrated it again.

Chen Qing waved his hand and applauded, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jin'er to have such skills, which really surprised me." After that, he said to Chen Yu, "The imperial sister doesn't know, the little cousin not only has the ability to train cats, but also has excellent swordsmanship. ”

Zhao Zhen looked terrified when he heard this: "The courtiers dare not compare with the first queen mother. ”

Chen Yu was surprised: "Does Jin'er also use a knife?" The queen mother was the best at using knives back then, and Jin'er not only looked alike, but even the weapons she used were the same. ”

Zhao Zhen was sweating on her forehead, she didn't know how to hide herself in the face of her loved ones, she knew that she should change her weapon, but now she was caught by her son and daughter too many things in common, it was really dangerous.

Fortunately, the son and daughter didn't continue to talk about her, and Chen Yu asked instead, "Your Majesty, why haven't you seen the prince coming?" ”

Chen Qing sighed and said: "The prince was infected with a cold, and his mother accompanied him in the palace to recuperate, so he didn't come to congratulate the imperial sister." ”

Zhao Zhen's heart twitched when he heard this, be careful that his liver is sick? Why did you get sick all of a sudden, and you didn't still live the last time you met?

When Chen Yu heard this, he was very concerned and said, "How sick is it?" Is it getting better? ”

Chen Qing comforted her and said: "Sister Huang doesn't need to worry, she is not seriously ill, she has already improved after taking medicine, she should be fine after a few days of cultivation." When the words fell, he glanced at Zhao Zhen quietly, and sure enough, her face was also full of worry.

Although Zhao Zhen was a little relieved when he heard this, he still remembered to be careful, and he must go to the palace tomorrow to have a look.

Sister and brother said something else and started the banquet, Chen Qing sat on the top and invited the imperial sister to sit with him, the horse was squeezed to a slightly lower position, no way, Chen Qing didn't like his brother-in-law, since he had a brother-in-law, his sister gave him less love, how could he treat the brother-in-law who robbed his sister, so he was always wary of his brother-in-law.

And Fu Yuan is a bright and bold person, as the foil of the sister and brother, he has no complaints, he has been smiling happily, and the two dimples on his cheeks make his heroic face look a lot more amiable.

Zhao Zhen, like her son, didn't like her son-in-law very much, and she used to be a son-in-law, but Fu Yuan had a good temperament and was considerate of her daughter, so she also changed her opinion of her son-in-law, and now she likes her son-in-law more than Chen Zhao's father and son, and her son-in-law is half a son.

After three rounds of drinking, it is time for Miss Gongzi to perform on her birthday, and at this time of year, the emperor comes in person, and everyone is looking forward to showing his face in front of the emperor, all of which have been prepared many months ago.

Zhao Zhen didn't have much interest in this, he sat next to his granddaughter and ate the food boringly, his eyes wandered for a long time and he didn't find Chen Zhao, and he didn't know where he was hiding.

Zhao really has nothing to do with himself, and Chen Qing, who is the leader, suddenly spoke: "Jin'er is also a martial artist, so it's better to come up and show it, so that everyone can feast their eyes." ”

How could the emperor's words be refuted, but Zhao Zhen really didn't want to go, he scolded his unlucky son in his heart, and said euphemistically: "The courtier's dress is complicated today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move, please atone for your sins." ”

Fu Ningxuan, who was next to her, was particularly eyeless and said: "My little cousin is the same size as me, you can go and change my clothes for the time being!" ”

Chen Qing immediately said: "Then Jin'er will go with Xuanxuan to change her clothes first." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't want to go this time, so he silently gave his granddaughter a roll of his eyes, and came back with his granddaughter to change clothes.

Standing in the center, Zhao Zhen didn't want to perform like a monkey alone, and said to the son of the head: "Your Majesty, it is not interesting for a courtier to have a sword alone, it is better to choose one person to fight against the courtier." "Commonly known as pulling a cushion.

Chen Qing felt feasible when he heard this: "Who wants to fight against Zhao Jin?" ”

The women below are not martial arts, Fu Ningxuan, who knows martial arts, resolutely does not fight with her little cousin, and the man feels that it is ungentlemanly to play with women, and he is silent for a while.

Seeing this, Fu Yunheng was about to sacrifice himself, and suddenly someone stood up and said, "The minister would like to ask Miss Zhao for advice." ”

Zhao Zhen heard the sound and looked over, it was a young and handsome young man, and next to him sat Chen Yin, the son of the king of Yuning, thinking that it was Chen Yin's son, right? Zhao Zhen saw this child for the first time.
