Chapter 156: Ferret

While dressing, the prince said to his father-in-law, "Go and bring me the cage I used yesterday." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The father-in-law said yes, and then went into the house to lift the cage out in person.

The prince fastened his last belt, straightened his clothes, and then walked over, took the cage from his hand, and held it up to look at it.

Lying inside was a small white fluffy thing, no bigger than the palm of a hand, a ferret about the same size as the emperor had brought back yesterday.

The ferret crouches in its cage, occasionally making a faint "cooing" sound.

The prince also cooed, and teased him a few times, and the ferret raised his head when he heard the sound, glanced at the prince, and then hung his head in boredom, and curled up.

The prince opened the cage, took it in his hand, handed it back to his father-in-law, and then touched the ferret's fur with his hand.

The fur on it was smooth and soft, and the ferret seemed to like someone to touch it, making a lazy appearance.

The prince couldn't help but smile when he looked at his eyebrows, put the ferret back in the cage, and then carried the cage and walked outside the Yanqing Palace.

Father-in-law Fang hurriedly followed, and asked as he went, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

Yesterday the prince brought a ferret back, and he thought that the prince wanted to raise it, but it didn't look like it.

The prince was a little annoyed by his father-in-law, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow Lone, go alone for a while." ”

Father-in-law Fang then stopped, and then motioned to the other palace people to follow, but the prince said in front of him: "No one else is allowed to follow Lone." ”

When the prince arrived at Changkun Palace, he was a little happy in his heart, and he lifted the cage to look at the ferret inside, imagining how Yuan Yuan would smile happily when he saw this little thing.

When the palace people of Changkun Palace saw him, they curtched his knees and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince asked, "What about your mother?" ”

Gong said: "The slave will go in and give you a pass." ”

The prince waved his hand and said, "No need, go in by yourself." ”

But the rule of Changkun Palace is that except for the emperor, anyone who comes must be respected, and everyone including the prince.

Gong said: "Please wait a while, Your Highness." With that, he went in.

The crown prince looked at the other two palace people who stopped him outside the gate of Changkun Palace, and he was angry. But after all, it was Lin Yan's place, and he didn't want to make a fuss and make Yuan Yuan angry.

The palace people who went in to pass the ceremony soon came out and said to the prince: "Your Highness, please go in." ”

The prince glanced at them coldly, and then went in with the cage, but before he approached the palace gate, the laughter of Mu Zhi Mulan and Lin Yan and others came from inside.

Lin Yan's voice came from inside: "I don't know what this little thing eats?" ”

Mulan said: "The slave maid asked the people who raise mink in the Hundred Beast Terrace, and said that they could feed some chicken." ”

Lin Yan said again: "Take it and cut some chicken, cut it a little finer." Then he asked, "Should it be eaten raw or cooked?" ”

Mulan replied: "It's best to cook." ”

……

When he walked to the door of the palace, the prince looked at the ferret that was placed on the small table by Lin Yan, and Lin Yan couldn't put it down to touch its hair, and the prince's face suddenly turned cold.

Needless to say, this ferret must have been brought to her by her father.

Lin Yan, who was inside, also saw the prince standing at the door, and shouted, "The prince is here?" ”

The prince turned his head coldly, his hand clutched the cage tightly, his face was angry, and then he turned around and left without looking back.

Lin Yanqi said: "Why did you come and leave?" ”

Thinking of the prince's increasingly obedient temperament recently, he also said with some anger: "Leave him alone, save him from getting used to him." "He really thinks that he is the crown prince, so everyone will hold him.

The prince returned to Yanqing Palace, threw the cage in his hand to the ground, and the ferret fell and cooed.

The prince pointed to the cage on the ground and said, "Throw it away." ”

Father-in-law Fang looked at him strangely and cautiously, and called in a low voice: "Your Highness......"

Obviously, when he went out, he still had a happy face, but when he came back, his face was gloomy again.

The prince said angrily: "You didn't hear Lone's orders, did you? ”

Fang's father-in-law had no choice but to say yes, and then lifted the ground and walked out.

The prince paused for a moment, then stopped him and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Father-in-law Fang turned around.

The prince said, "Bring it to me." ”

Father-in-law Fang had no choice but to walk back with the cage and put the cage on the small table in front of him.

The prince took out the ferret and stroked its fur.

When he found it in the snow, he rejoiced at how happy she would be when she saw the little thing, but she already had her father's......

The prince's eyes sank, a little lost, but he still said, "Raise it." ”

After a while, he asked again, "What is the name of that ferret raised in the Queen's Palace?" ”

Fang Gong said fairly: "It seems to be called a snowball, and the emperor personally gave it a name." ”

The prince said: "In the future, it will be called Xuemao." ”

After speaking, he was a little gloomy.

Grandpa Fang sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything.

In a blink of an eye, the Laba Festival was said, and the palace rewarded Laba porridge.

Thinking that the capital suffered a snowstorm this year, Lin Yan asked the imperial dining room to make a lot of laba porridge this year, and let people send it to the affected people outside the city to distribute, in order to reflect the royal benevolence and love for the people - how much he wanted to earn fame for the emperor and the emperor.

However, if the emperor wants to be a Ming monarch, his reputation is indispensable, not to mention that the Son of Heaven has a good reputation, and many policies and decrees will be implemented better and faster to get the support of the people, and these small favors are the easiest to arouse the gratitude of the people.

After the Laba Festival, the ladies of the Lin family came in to visit Lin Yan once, and brought small clothes, shoes and hats for children.

Li said to her with a smile: "After your mother left, I saw that your grandmother was a little lonely all day long, and she didn't talk much about anything, and I was worried that she would cross her body like this. But after hearing that you were pregnant, she suddenly had the spirit to find out the good cloth hidden, and said that she would make clothes and shoes for the little prince or princess. It's still a little early to prepare, but seeing that your grandmother is in a much better spirit when she does these things, I didn't stop her from ......."

Lin Yan laughed, her grandmother was born in a businessman, and the dealer started with silk and embroidery, and her grandmother also learned to embroider well with one hand, and Suzhou embroidery and Cantonese embroidery are unparalleled in the world. It's a pity that my mother doesn't like embroidery, and my grandmother often laments that no one inherits a pair of skills.

Lin Yan picked up the little shoes and small clothes and looked at them, they were extremely exquisite, even the Shanggong Bureau in the palace couldn't do such a good job, the cats, dogs or fairy deer embroidered on the small clothes were so lifelike, Lin Yan almost thought that they were going to jump out of the clothes.

Lin Yan thought that her grandmother would be depressed and unhappy, probably because she had no sustenance in her heart, but wanted to find something for her to do so that she could cheer up, so she smiled and said: "You tell your grandmother that these few small clothes and shoes are not enough to wear, let her do more." ”

Then when the Li family left the palace, he also rewarded some fine fabrics, and bluntly said that he asked Mrs. Zhuang to make small clothes.

Old Madam Zhuang heard Li's words in the Guogong Mansion, and scolded with a smile: "This little girl will do her best to squeeze this old woman." ”

But despite that, she still called the little maid and happily asked the maid to help her cut the cloth.

A few days later, the concubine also hugged Shenglang and Huanniang to come in to visit her. (To be continued.) )
