97. Livestock
Finally found the baby pimple, the heartstrings of the seventh prince who had been tense for more than a month were relaxed, and when he heard him say about making animals, he immediately repaired a letter and sent someone to Jiangxian County, Huaizhou, and ordered the county order to strictly investigate the inside situation, and all the victims must be found.
Seeing the dark guard rushing away with the letter in his arms, Youshu looked at his master with more and more admiration. He knew that the master was omnipotent, and it was right to leave the difficult things to the master. The Seventh Prince was already in a good mood, but he was a little fluttery when he saw it, but his eyes darkened when he caught a glimpse of his sharp chin, "Have you had a good meal in the past month or so?" I look at you like this, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight. โ
"You've suddenly swelled so big that he can tell you're thin? What kind of eyes are these? The old ghost was amazed.
Youshu also opened her eyes and asked, "How do you know that I have lost weight?" The words tugged at the empty placket, revealing half-pulled shoulders and beautifully shaped collarbones. He has indeed lost weight, this dress was transformed by the Ziwei Emperor Qi that the master gave him at the beginning, it originally fit very well, but now it is a little bigger.
The Seventh Prince immediately pulled his clothes for him, untied the slightly loose clothes belt, re-tied it, and said with the tips of his ears slightly red, "By feeling." Your face should have been rounder, but now you don't have any meat. As he spoke, he grabbed the tender flesh of the boy's cheek and pinched it gently.
Speaking of this, Youshu was full of grievances, and recounted the suffering she had suffered along the way, which made the Seven Princes also red-eyed, and immediately asked the cook to set up a banquet, the more sumptuous the better.
"Slowly, the taste of the food has to change. I'm a human being, I can eat whatever you eat, master, don't get me boiled chicken again. Youshu hurriedly pulled the master's sleeve and said seriously, "I haven't eaten a heavy meal for a long time, I want big fish and meat, big meat, big fish, big oil!" The words fell and quietly sucked the saliva from his lips.
The Seventh Prince couldn't help laughing, rubbing his hair full of green silk, and at the same time raised his voice and ordered, "Xiao Shunzi, let the cook in the dining room only cook heavy dishes, not only salty, spicy, and sour, but all present." โ
Xiao Shunzi, who was standing in the distance, stepped forward, nodded and promised while secretly looking at the young man out of the corner of his eye, but saw that the other party was tilting his head, and he was also looking at it with black eyes, his eyes were clear and smart. Xiao Shunzi was startled, and shouted strangely in her heart: Oh, my mother! These eyes are similar to those of the little master! Could it be that the prince can't find a puppy and plans to raise someone as a replacement? This also looks a little prettier!
While thinking wildly, he hurried to the dining room, and vaguely heard the prince call Youshu in a gentle tone, and couldn't help but stumble.
The meal came up quickly, and the Seventh Prince had long been accustomed to eating in a bowl with Youshu, and if he encountered a large piece of meat that he couldn't bite, he would tear it up one by one and feed it into his mouth. Now, even if Youshu becomes a human, he can't change this habit for a while, and when he saw the maidservant serving a bowl of rice for Youshu, he waved his hand and said, "Remove this set of utensils." โ
Youshu, who couldn't wait to serve the meal, was a little dumbfounded, "Master, how can I eat without dishes and chopsticks?" โ
"You didn't have any dishes and chopsticks before, so you didn't eat well?" The Seventh Prince sandwiched a piece of braised pork and fed it to his lips, his eyes full of interest, "Come, open your mouth." โ
In order to meet her master as soon as possible, Youshu can be said to be sleeping in the open and starving, and she didn't have the heart to care about human rights at this time. Besides, he has been a puppy for two years, and some things have long been a habit, so he hurriedly leaned over and took the meat away.
Feeding a puppy and feeding a person are two different concepts entirely. After the puppy takes away the shredded meat, it will chew a few times, then swallow, and then lick the soup in its mouth with its tongue, and its expression is very cute and cute. But after becoming a human, what he licked and licked was the red lips stained with meat juice, and the lip-slit opened slightly, inadvertently revealing a row of snow-white shell teeth, this scene has nothing to do with cuteness, and can only be described by the word "seduction-bewilderment".
In the past, when eating with Youshu, the Seventh Prince would have a great appetite, but now, even if he quickly shaved half a bowl of rice, he still felt hungry and thirsty in his stomach, as if there was some kind of deep, secret ** that was never satisfied.
Seeing that the master only fed him two pieces of meat, he picked up the bowl, took care of the rice, Youshu stroked the empty belly, and begged, "Master, give me a bite." The words fell on the master's arm, forced him to lower the bowl, and plunged headlong into it.
The Seventh Prince almost poked him in the face with chopsticks, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, so he hurriedly aimed the edge of the bowl at his lips and slowly shaved rice inside. Youshu was indeed so hungry that she devoured it for a while, and ate three bowls of rice in a row to barely fill her full stomach, and then lay in the chair like no bones, with her hands on her belly and a little pressing-kneading.
This appearance is simply a copy of the puppy, but the painting style has changed from cute to lazy, which makes the Seven Princes frequently look at him, and then shake their heads and smile. Youshu was a little sluggish when she was full, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour to realize that she had recovered her body, and it seemed a little indecent to rub her stomach like this? He hurriedly sat upright, tilting his head to see the master who had put down the bowl and was rinsing his mouth with tea.
"You can't sit for a long time when you're full, master, are you still practicing walking recently? I'll help you walk around the yard twice? โ
"Ever since you disappeared, I've been wondering if you're hungry, if you're going to be taken away by wild cats and dogs, and about the beggars who don't have long eyes and roast you. I worry so much that I can't eat and can't sleep at night, how can I have the mind to practice walking? Finally, you still have a little conscience and know to come back. The Seventh Prince habitually held one of his paws, and a fiery kiss was burned on the back of each palm.
The flush on Youshu's face instantly receded, bowed his head slightly, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I couldn't speak, so I couldn't explain what was going on, so I thought I'd come back to you when I was restored. You will always be my master one day, and I will never leave you unless you drive me away. โ
"Fool, how can I be willing to drive you away. Just come back. After getting Youshu's promise, the Seventh Prince finally let go of the big stone in his heart, rubbed his black hair, and said with a low smile, "Let's go, help me walk around." โ
In order to erase the guilt of missing for a month without reason, Youshu very actively hugged the thin waist of the master and took him to the back garden. Xiao Shunzi followed behind, his face full of confusion: The prince is clearly able to walk like flying, why is he pretending to be disabled at this time? Look, even when walking on a flat ground, you have to put your whole body weight on the shoulders of the thin young man, and from behind, it looks like a big mountain covering people.
Youshu was indeed very difficult, and finally helped the master to sit firmly in the pavilion, but he was already out of breath and sweating. But he didn't care about himself at all, took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the sweat of his master, and asked in a loud voice, "Master, are you tired?" Do your legs hurt? Shall I rub it for you? โ
"Don't be tired, don't be in pain, don't be busy, you can sit and rest for a while." The Seventh Prince pulled the person to his side and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his fingertips, his eyes full of pity.
The two sat for a while and then went back to the room to wash and rest. When Youshu was a puppy, he would be carried into the bathtub by the master to take a bath, and now he naturally undressed and stepped in. The Seventh Prince quickly glanced at his long thin white legs and straight buttocks, and then covered his slightly swollen lower abdomen with a bath towel, and coughed extremely embarrassed. People and dogs are really completely different, and the scenes that once only felt warm and happy are now full of endless temptations, making him use strong self-control at all times.
Youshu couldn't feel the pain of her master at all, slapped the water with both hands, and sighed, "The bath bucket has become bigger, and I can't swim anymore." โ
The Seventh Prince, Guan Er, reached out and took down the wood carved duckling on the stool and asked, "Do you remember this?" You can only put - play now, you can't lie down. โ
The carved wood duckling is exquisitely made, and the interior is partially hollowed out so that it can float smoothly on the water. Youshu likes to flutter around when the water is tired, and when he is tired of swimming, he will lie on the back of the duckling and drift, if the duckling does not move, he will also yell at the master and let him help shoot the water.
At that time, I really knew how to enjoy it! Youshu's face was flushed for a moment, and she hurriedly plunged her head into the water, gurgling and spitting bubbles, this appearance was not much more stable than when she was a dog, which made the Seventh Prince Lang laugh. The strange puppy is so cute, it turns out that he himself has this kind of temperament, and he is not controlled by the demon law.
"Alright, come out quickly, be careful of suffocation. I won't laugh at you, will I? Seeing that the young man even had red ears, the Seventh Prince half-dragged and half-hugged him out of the water, and whispered softly, "If you dislike the small bathtub, I will have someone build a big pool for you to swim in another day." I will also carve a life-size duck for you, and put it on the water to float for you. As he spoke, he picked up the scoop and slowly poured water on the top of the boy's head, then rubbed his green hair.
Youshu pinched the duckling and said in a low voice, "No need, the bath bucket is very good, I suddenly got bigger, and I'm just a little unaccustomed." โ
said no, but his hands held the toy, his eyes were full of hope, and he really didn't know how to hide his feelings at all. The more the seventh prince looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but take the person into his arms and kiss him well. Youshu lay down, squinted her eyes and hummed, hummed for a while before remembering that she was no longer a dog, and hurriedly covered her mouth, the old ghost in her heart was really right, I was a dog, if I recovered in two years, I am afraid that I will look like a dog.
The Seventh Prince was burned by his disturbing snort, but he was amused by his ashamed expression. He took a deep breath without a trace, and only when he was tired and weak did he pull the person up and down, up and down, even between his fingers and feet, and it was really no different from taking care of a puppy. Youshu, on the other hand, was embarrassed by him for a while, numb by him for a while, agitated for a while, cranky, and red from head to toe when he came out of the water, like a boiled shrimp.
Once again, he missed the benefits of being a puppy, and even if he was ashamed to death, others could not see his expression through the thick fluff, unlike now, when he saw it at a glance. He covered his lower half of his body, stood on the low stool and winked at his master, as if he was about to burn in the next moment.
The Seventh Prince pretended not to notice his slightly reactive body, picked him up, strode to the inner room, and threw him into the bed.
Youshu was immediately diverted and said incredulously, "You, can you walk on both legs?" Then what did you lie to me before? โ
The Seventh Prince put a towel over his head, gently wiped his hair, and chuckled, "What? You are only allowed to say goodbye without saying goodbye, and I am not allowed to make a little joke? โ
"Xu." Youshu confessed, and waited until her hair stopped dripping before she began to wear obscene clothes and pants. After sleeping enough on the grass nest and hard stone slabs, he finally returned to Duanwang's mansion, lying in the soft futon, he couldn't help but roll a few times, and then stirred his nose to sniff the smell on the pillow. That's right, it's the ambergris that the master is used to, so nostalgic.
Catching a glimpse of his joyful movements and intoxicated expression, the Seventh Prince sneered, "You tell me the truth, are you a human or a dog?" โ
Youshu stiffened for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm really a human master." That's how I am, you trust me. โ
The Seventh Prince had already laughed in his heart, but his face was skeptical, "Okay, I believe you." I just want you to know that I don't dislike you, whether you're a human or a dog. โ
Youshu nodded vigorously, her heart was warm, but she didn't dare to be happy anymore, lying next to her master and looking at it with crystal eyes, "Tell a few stories before sleeping?" โ
The Seven Princes habitually took people into their arms, and then raised one eyebrow, once again sighing in their hearts about the difference between humans and dogs. When Youshu was a dog, he lay on his back in his arms and was a small ball, which could be supported with one palm, and the pink plum blossom pad was exposed with four paws facing the sky, which looked very cute. But now, his body was elongated, pliable and extremely elastic, and when he looked down, he saw not only a beautiful face, but also a slender neck and a graceful collarbone, and a half round shoulder.
This appearance has nothing to do with cuteness, and it simply makes the eyes of the Seven Princes not know where to put it. He held his forehead and groaned, knowing that at every moment in the future, he might not feel good in his lower body. I don't know if I will be sick from time to time, so I have to find a chance to ask Mr. Deng.
He thought a lot in his heart, but his face was calm and indifferent, bent his legs, lest Youshu touch the place where he shouldn't touch, and took his body into his arms, and then took out a book of mountains and seas from under the pillow, and asked in a dumb voice, "Where did I say last time?" โ
"Speaking of "Thor", there is a god of thunder in Razor, with a dragon body and a human head." Youshu arched his head and drilled into the crook of the master's arm, which was his signature move when he turned into a dog.
The Seventh Prince sighed again, but he still turned the pages of the book, told the story slowly, and waited until he had put people to sleep before hurriedly getting off the bed, and turned to the screen to be busy with himself-
Emperor Jing heard that someone brought a dog to the door to receive the reward, and thought that it would be not long before Lao Qi should go to court, but he didn't expect that the dog was fake, and the person who sent the dog was also arrested by him, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. Deng Chaoshan entered the palace several times to meet him, and expressed concern about Prince Duan's lack of food and drink and excessive worry, and said that he was old and had limited energy, so he asked the little apprentice to go to Duanwang's mansion to guard instead of him.
Emperor Jing summoned Deng Chaoshan's closed disciples, and saw that the other party was a handsome and unparalleled young man, not only with good medical skills, but also with extremely clear eyes, so he agreed. He originally wanted to call himself sick and force Lao Qi to join the auxiliary government of the court, but he had to dispel his mind because he was afraid of the princes who were eyeing him.
However, others are not as reliable as Lao Qi, and as soon as he let his personal attendant recite it for a few days, the rumor that "the emperor suffers from eye disease" spread out, making all the princes stupid-stupid-desire-moving. Eye diseases are not like other diseases, you can slowly recuperate, and at the same time, you can hold on to the imperial power. Once you have an eye disease, no matter how strong you are, you have to fall from a height.
Emperor Jing was very anxious, but fortunately, Deng Chaoshan performed another golden needle removal technique, which made his eyesight return to normal. But this is only temporary, if you can't completely peel off the white barrier in your eyes, it will grow back after a while, in other words, Emperor Jing's time is running out.
An ambitious emperor was reduced to a trapped beast in a cage in a blink of an eye, and his sons, concubines, and courtiers were surrounded by the cage one by one, peeping at them with blood-red eyes full of aggressive intent, which felt terrible and made Emperor Jing hateful. Every day he survived, he deeply missed the days when Lao Qi was by his side. Lao Qi is loyal, reliable, and filial, and tight-lipped about his illness. He didn't want anything in return, he just wanted to live safely with his puppy, but even this little wish would be shattered by others. Emperor Jing's resentment towards the Chengen Mansion continued to deepen, and he was also full of vigilance and disgust towards the princes who were pressing step by step.
After thinking about it for a few days, he finally released the news, saying that he was going to take the examination for the princes of the school, and then find the best successor. The princes were excited, and they were very deferential to their father on the surface, but they fought to the death behind their backs. Without waiting for Emperor Jing to make a move, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince fell off the horse one after another, or were demoted to concubines, or were imprisoned for life; The four princes saw the signs and invited themselves to the fiefdom; The Six Princes brought all the forces under the command of the Nine Emperors and did their best to help him win the throne.
After several battles, in March of the following year, Emperor Jing issued a holy decree and officially canonized the Nine Emperors as the princes. The Prince Li's Mansion of the Nine Emperor Princes was replaced with a plaque and became the Prince's Mansion, and for a time people came and went, and it was very lively. And the Duanwang Mansion across the street was completely silent.
Of course, this so-called silence is just in the eyes of outsiders, but the elders of the cabinet never dare to ignore King Duan, and from time to time they have to go to ask for advice with government affairs. To tell the truth, they are extremely dissatisfied with the prince's appearance, and the other party can defeat the brothers, so he naturally has the ability, but to say a big disrespectful word: his talent is at most used to govern a small country, not like the king of Duan, but an immortal material in the world. It is not enough to use "pearl in front" to describe the gap between the two, and it is appropriate to replace it with "the fire of fireflies dares to compete with the sun and the moon".
When King Duan is here, no matter how controversial the government is, it will be resolved within a day. He first asked the elders to express their opinions, divided the people with different opinions into several factions, argued with each other, and adopted the method of whichever side won the victory, so that everyone was convinced. If his own ideas are contrary to those of the majority, he will stand up and refute it himself, and the sharpness of his tongue is like a sword, which can make everyone obey his orders.
He not only has extraordinary personality charm, but also knows the way of checks and balances, every time a government decree is issued, so that the domestic momentum is like the arm of the body, the arm of the finger, all of which are controlled. On the other hand, the actions of the Nine Emperor Princes after entering the cabinet can only be described as "a mess". Whenever there was a disagreement between the elders, he would hesitate and make a decision, and then pretend to have a headache to dismiss everyone, and after returning to invite his staff to discuss.
It's just that those staff members don't have enough knowledge, and it is the limit to win the position of prince for him, and when he comes to adjudicating national affairs, he is dizzy, and he doesn't know what to say, and he makes many jokes one after another. That's not all, in order to consolidate the position of the crown prince, they eliminated dissidents, brutalized Zhongliang, replaced the two elders with dishonorable means, and put their own people on top.
Emperor Jing was still watching coldly, and it was not until this time that he was completely chilled by the Nine Emperor Princes. Before the crown prince was established, the Nine Emperors did enough to be filial to their son, but as soon as they entered the court, they began to uproot Emperor Jing's henchmen, and they also used the excuse that in order to avoid the aggravation of their father's eye disease, they took all the folds to be reviewed, which was a clear โกโก. Where would the seventh do this when he was here!
In contrast, Emperor Jing found more and more that Lao Qi was good, and if Lao Qi had sound legs, he would be the only one who was the prince!
It was only at this time that the Seventh Prince felt that the time had come and was ready to go out of the mountain again. These days, the deposed cabinet elders have come to the door one after another to complain, and there are many temptations in their words. They were fed up with the โกโกโกโก of the Nine Emperors and the exclusion of dissidents, and the Seven Princes, although they were extraordinary, were extremely opposed to the centralization of monarchy, and even said that the cabinet system was a healthier form of government, and the number of cabinet ministers could be increased, but it could never be reduced.
On the other hand, the Nine Emperors actually planned to replace all the ministers with his henchmen, so as to achieve the goal of absolute monarchy. Once the power is decentralized, it is difficult to take it back. The elders of the cabinet have been operating in the court for a lifetime, even if they fall from power, their power has been entrenched, where can the Nine Emperor Princes move? Even if the Seventh Prince is disabled in both legs, they are willing to arch him to the stage, but only if the Seven Princes themselves have that will.
As soon as the two sides made contact, they already knew their respective plans, but the Nine Emperor Princes and Emperor Jing were still in the dark.
This day is the annual horse racing festival, and the Seven Princes get up early in the morning to prepare to take Shu into the palace to watch the horse races. Before he woke up, he had already slipped into his master's arms, stretched out his tongue and licked it for a while, licking it until it was thick and hard before he snorted twice and opened his blindfolded eyes.
The Seventh Prince's legs had already recovered, and he pressed him under him for a long time, and then he took out the obscene clothes and pants to put on for him, and explained in a low voice, "Follow me closely after entering the palace, don't walk around." โ
"Did you make any moves today?"
The Seventh Prince did not answer the rhetorical question, "I think the political system of the Great Yan Kingdom is very sound, there are many cabinet ministers, the monarch only needs to make a ruling at the critical moment, he has power in his hands, and he can not be controlled, if he wants to go to the court, he will go to the court, and if he wants to strike the court, the cabinet will naturally handle the government affairs properly, how good do you say?" โ
Youshu understood everything, and said seriously, "Master, you just have to go forward, and I will follow you behind." โ
