Chapter 9: Life in the Palace
The bony civet stretched and opened its eyes.
Where was she, the bony civet moved its furry black paws, got up and patted the wooden cage.
Apparently, she was in a cage.
Where is this, the bony civet meows a few times.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the gorgeous palace, the ground is paved with jade, the pillars are engraved with dragon patterns, and the furnishings are exquisite and luxurious.
This small wooden cage can't be changed into a real body. The black cat scratched the cage in frustration.
Good...... It's sturdy.
After struggling, the bony civet still chose to give up, kicked on all fours, and fell asleep in the cage.
Give up, give up.
But after a while, a little eunuch who looked like he was four or five years old came over, carrying a dead mouse in his hand.
Look at his fleshy face, smile brightly, carry the tail of a dead mouse, and shake it in front of the bony civet.
When the civet saw the dead mouse, she thought to herself that the child would not throw the dead mouse in, so she should not eat the dead mouse.
The civet stared at the little eunuch and kept letting out a low threatening scream.
The little eunuch still shook the dead mouse, and said in a childish voice, "Aren't you hungry, eat, eat." ”
The little eunuch threw the rat through the crack in the wooden cage.
The bony civet instantly exploded and roared angrily.
It stinks, get out of the way!!
The little eunuch was startled by the sudden scream of the bone civet, and fell to the ground and cried.
An old eunuch with a handful of dust in his hand hurriedly ran over, hurriedly picked up the little eunuch and said, "Erbai, when did you come here, do you know that this is the king's sleeping palace! If you annoy the king, it will be the sin of losing your head!"
When the little eunuch heard this, he cried even more fiercely.
Seeing this, the old eunuch hurriedly wanted to drag the little eunuch away.
Instantly, a male voice sounded behind the two, "What's so noisy?"
The civet cat raised the cat's head, and when he saw that it was Yingzheng, he immediately kept silent, sat quietly in the cage, and licked his hair from a distance away from the dead mouse.
It's better not to attract his attention, now that he is in a cage, he is on the weak side. If this king is not happy, he will cook and eat it with his own anger, and he will not be able to escape.
When the old eunuch heard the sound, he immediately panicked and pressed the little eunuch to kneel on the ground together, the little eunuch stopped crying, but he was sobbing, and the old eunuch panicked and said, "The king forgives the sin, and the slave has no way to discipline his subordinates, and he disturbs the king." ”
Ying Zheng looked at the two of them and said to the old eunuch, "Fuyuan, you get up first." ”
The old eunuch replied "No", got up, and stood aside respectfully.
The little eunuch seemed to be very frightened, trembling all over, but kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner.
Ying Zheng looked at the little eunuch and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The little eunuch replied with a trembling voice and a crying voice, "Yes...... It's two loaves...... See...... When I saw the cat, I was ...... Joy...... Thinking about catching one...... Catch a mouse and feed it. ”
Ying Zheng looked at the civet cat, although the civet felt that his eyes were licking, he kept licking his hair, and silently said in his heart: You can't see me, you can't see me.
"Why? It won't eat this mouse?" Ying Zheng approached the wooden cage and looked at the bone civet.
Eat mice??Joke, I'm a cat who has been cultivating in the Heavenly Court for three hundred years! One day I don't just eat the dishes of the Heavenly Court, even if I fall into the mortal world and am caught in a wooden cage by you, I am also dignified and backbone??? although the bone civet thinks so in his heart, he really still lowers his head and does not look at Yingzheng. I feel weak in my heart, and I am afraid that I will recognize myself.
The little eunuch said as if complaining, "It...... It doesn't eat, it still ...... It also scares minions. ”
Ying Zheng suddenly said again, "In this way, next time, don't trespass into the lonely dormitory, just retreat." ”
The old eunuch curtsied and said, "Thank you, the king." Then he dragged the little eunuch and retreated.
What to do, now it's just the two of us, one person and one cat, to be exact.
Do you want to continue licking your hair or what to do, I feel like my tongue is licking stiff.
Forget it, sleep...... The bony civet suddenly lay down in the wooden cage, kicked the dead mouse out of the wooden cage with a kick of his feet. Then sleep with your head in your arms.
Ying Zheng looked at the black cat's series of movements, and said in a low voice, "Extremely lazy." Then he moved to the side of the table and looked at the bamboo slips.
A maid hurried in and picked up the dead rat and brought it out of the dormitory.
The bony civet wakes up from sleep, hungry to be exact. It got up and turned to see Ying Zheng sitting at the round table eating dinner. The dishes on the table are comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and everything is available.
The bony civet shouted, "Meow meow!"
"Meow meow meow!!"
It means: Let me out, dog man, I'm going to starve to death, and you're eating in front of me!
Ying Zheng was so noisy that he put down the dishes and chopsticks. "Come on, bring it up." ”
Listening to a maid outside the door, "No." Then a maid came in through the door, lifted the wooden cage, and prepared to take the civet out. Unexpectedly, the civet dog swung vigorously, and the wooden cage fell from the maid's hand, and the mouth of the wooden cage fell open in an instant.
The bony civet came out of the cage, shook its body, and jumped onto the table.
The maid panicked and wanted to catch the civet dog, but was stopped by Yingzheng and said, "It's okay." ”
The maid had no choice but to kneel down and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, forgive your sins." ”
"Stand down. Ying Zheng waved his hand. The maid hurriedly retreated.
Wow, there's so much to eat, which one should I start with?
Ying Zheng saw the black cat circling around the table, and finally it locked on a plate of fish and ate it with its mouth.
Fu Yuan stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, this cat deserves to be punished? ”
Ying Zheng said, "It's just a beast, how to let it know the etiquette, give it all to eat." Stand down. ”
"No. Fu Yuan responded. Also retreated.
Ying Zheng got up, moved to the table on the side again, and looked at the bamboo slips.
The bony civet was full of food and drink, wagged its tail, swaggered to the side of the soft collapse, and lay down directly, licking its hair.
Not to mention, the food in the palace is really delicious.
When the maids guarding the door saw this, they all came in and cleaned up the dishes on the round table.
Since this man has no hostility towards him, why don't I just stay here and wait for a few more days before I leave.
The bone civet raised his eyes and saw Yingzheng looking at the bamboo slips.
Suddenly I wanted to play tricks on him.
The bone civet walked to the table of Yingzheng with a step, and jumped to the table with a leap. With a thud, he knocked down the brush hanging on the table.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes in displeasure, and the bone civet was a little weak-hearted, so he got off the table in an instant and hid under the table.
There is still some joy in my heart.
Although Ying Zheng was displeased, he continued to look at the bamboo slips, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
Seeing that there was no reaction, the bone civet hid under the table a few times and began to scratch and bite Yingzheng's clothes.
Suddenly, a big hand scooped himself up, and the bone civet was held in Yingzheng's arms, and Yingzheng said coldly, "If you make trouble again, you may have to eat cat meat tomorrow." ”
The bone civet seemed to be frightened, if it was really killed to cook and eat, it would really outweigh the losses.
The civet didn't dare to move anymore, and lay down directly in Yingzheng's arms.
It didn't take long for the civet cat to be a little sleepy, and he fell asleep in Yingzheng's arms.
Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips, and suddenly heard the purring sound, so he turned his eyes to look at the cat in his arms.
"Lazy to the extreme. He said and continued to look at the bamboo slips.
In the early morning, the bone civet woke up from his sleep and found that he was lying next to Yingzheng. She was startled, and then looked at herself, still looking like a black cat.
It seems that Ying Zheng hugged himself and slept all night.
It jumped out of bed and out of the dormitory. The palace maids and eunuchs were very surprised, but they all heard them say that this black cat was raised by the king.
The civet was tired of wandering, and when it was almost time to eat, it ran again to the king's bedchamber.
As soon as he entered the door, the bone civet saw Yingzheng eating.
It started meowing. Ying Zheng glanced at it and ignored it.
Fu Yuan said on the side, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that this cat would recognize the door." ”
Ha, you actually ignored me. The bone civet jumped on the table and looked at Yingzheng very obediently.
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a maid took a bowl and unexpectedly picked up the dish for the bone civet.
What kind of treatment is this?? The bone civet was overjoyed and happily rubbed Yingzheng. Ying Zheng seemed to pat the place where he had been rubbed by the bone civet with disgust, but his eyes were much brighter.
This is the most comfortable day in his life! The civet was satisfied with the food that the maid had served him.
After a few days of this, after eating and drinking enough in Yingzheng's dormitory during the day, the bone civet went to the palace and wandered around, and then returned to the king's bed at night to sleep together. Everyone knew that it was the king's new pet, and they did not dare to stop it. Not to mention how comfortable life is.
On this day, the bone civet was playing in the imperial garden, but he was grabbed by the back of the neck, the man tied his hair in an official uniform, and looked middle-aged, he stroked the beard of his chin, looked at the bone civet and said, "This is the cat raised by the king?"
The entourage on his side said, "Lord Hui Xiangguo, exactly." ”
"Interesting. With that, he carried the civet to a palace.
The civet cat struggled, but the man kept clutching the back of his neck, but he couldn't move.
He took the civet to a palace, and the plaque on the palace was "Xiyi Palace", and the palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace gate saluted one after another, "See Lord Xiangguo." ”
The man answered, but without making a report, he generously pushed the door and entered, and his entourage stood by the door.
As soon as I entered, I heard the voices of men and women laughing.
A woman said shyly, "Chang Yu, it's daylight, don't be like this~"
The man called Chang Yu said, "What are you afraid of, who will disturb the two of us today." ”
When the man carrying the back of the civet neck heard this, although his face was gloomy for a moment, he approached with a steady step. After taking two steps, he walked to a gorgeous bed, and saw a man dressed as a eunuch pressing a woman under him. Both of them are disheveled, but they have not yet taken off their clothes.
The bony civet stared at the two of them in a daze, forgetting about the struggle. What are these two people doing?
As soon as Chang Yu saw the man, he instantly got up, knelt on the ground and said, "See Lord Xiangguo." "Although Chang Yu is dressed as a eunuch, there is no trace of eunuch femininity between his eyebrows and eyes, but on the contrary, he is masculine.
