Chapter 38: The Emperor's Visit (Third Watch)
In the Reflection Garden.
The sun is shining, and the courtyard with green bamboo is full of laughter.
Fu Yingran sat on a soft couch and teased the cats with a colored rope.
Seven cats all surrounded her, chasing the rope in her hand, each more excited and cheerful.
Crescent, Fuyan, and Tian Guangfeng were playing pitching on the side.
The same person had eight arrows, Fuyan's technique was accurate, and all of them hit, and the crescent moon also hit four, but Tian Guangfeng didn't hit one.
Tian Guangfeng jumped unwillingly, "Come again, this time it will definitely work!" β
His eyes stared firmly at the pot on the ground, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job, and he had the posture of not giving up.
Raise your wrist and aim at it.
Phew-
The arrow escaped and flew out of the spout.
"Hahaha, I didn't hit again."
Crescent laughed gloatingly, followed by an arrow that hit the pot with a clang.
Tian Guangfeng's face turned red, "You used to play with your master a lot, and you have already practiced, I just played, and it is normal for me to miss the shot." When I practice again, I will definitely be better than you! β
Tian Guangfeng continued to practice unwillingly, picked up the arrows thrown out and continued to throw.
The crescent moon pointed at the side, and for a while he was too energetic, and when he was off, he loved to see him embarrassed.
When the emperor entered the courtyard, he saw this comfortable and cheerful picture, and a trace of envy could not help but rise in his heart.
"Your Majesty has arrivedβ"
The shrill voice of the middle attendant suddenly came, and Fu Yiran turned his head, and was stunned for a long time before he reacted and got up to greet him.
"Why is Your Majesty here?"
"You don't welcome me?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows playfully, and his expression was relaxed, not as tense as he was a few days ago.
"How dare Yun Sang, Your Majesty's house, please-"
Fu Yingran took him to the room where he was entertaining, but the emperor didn't follow, looking at the soft couch she was sitting on, and snuggled his chin.
"It's rare to have a good sun today, so just sit outside. I just happened to pass by when I was back to Xuande Palace, and I missed your rice wine, so I came to ask for a bowl by the way. No need to be inhibited. β
Fu Yingzhi responded, and let people put up a soft couch for tea under the sun surrounded by bamboo forests, and asked the crescent moon to send rice wine.
"Your rice wine is really good, I haven't drunk it for a few days, but I think about it."
The emperor drank two sips happily, the sweet taste lingered in his mouth, and his whole body was refreshed.
"It's made from a crescent moon. Your Majesty likes it, and I'll let the crescent moon write down the recipe later. β
The crescent moon marquis was on the side, and when he heard the grievances, he pursed his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "This is what the maid figured out by herself, and you can't taste it outside." β
Fu Yiran turned his face to look at her and poked her arm in surprise, "Hey, you can't bear it, stingy!" You can go to my makeup and pick out some jewelry yourself. β
She doesn't like to dress up the most, so she doesn't wear much jewelry and never keeps it private.
As long as the crescent moon likes it, I often give it to her to wear.
The aggrieved face of the crescent moon turned cloudy in an instant, and he laughed happily and narrowed into two beautiful crescent eyes.
The emperor was amused by the light-hearted and interesting interaction between their master and servant, and he had never seen a young lady get along with her maid so easily and easily, like a sister.
"The crescent moon is right, this is her recipe, how good is it to win people's love. I want to drink it directly to Yinghui Garden, you don't have to be reluctant. β
What can Fu Eran say, don't come, I'll give you the recipe, right?
This is the emperor, and the entire palace is his territory.
Fu Yingran smiled politely, "Look at what Your Majesty said." The rice is from the Imperial Diet Bureau, and the wine is also from the Good Brewing Bureau, so Your Majesty should not be reluctant. β
The emperor laughed again, and his energy was exhausted for days, and it seemed that he had completely let go at this moment.
"Tianyang Kingdom promised to send troops......"
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, this is the decision of the Tianyang court, and it has nothing to do with me."
Fu Yingran knew that he must have come to send troops for Tianyang Kingdom today, so he hurriedly explained first.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw her anxious to clear up.
Such a big credit is rushed to be asked for by others, but she is like meeting a patient with smallpox, for fear of contamination, and hides faster than anyone else.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a trace of dissatisfaction in my heart, and glanced at her angrily, "Don't be in a hurry to clear up the matter, I'm not ready to thank you." β
Hearing this, Fu Yingran patted his chest and secretly spat out turbidity.
"That'll be fine."
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your ungrateful kindness.
She was really afraid that His Majesty would think that it was her credit and named her Zhaoyi Jieyu, then she would be scared to death.
The emperor was choked by her happy appearance, and snorted in a deep blow.
There was a fish bone in his throat that seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't go up or down, exchanging breaths in large gulps, reminding himself not to be angry, not to be like her.
A few cats frolicked around, rubbing around from time to time, meowing and meowing to attract her attention.
Fu Yingran picked one up in one hand and held it in his arms, lowered his head and kissed their furry heads.
"You love cats."
The emperor looked at the warm and soft picture in front of him in a daze, his delicate face was filled with a clean and beautiful smile, so pure and simple, the whole person was shining.
The discomfort in my heart disappeared, and my unconscious eyes locked, and I couldn't move it.
Every time I come into contact, I have a new touch, and I can discover a different side of her.
She is like a goblin who wields sorcery, with a deadly attraction that makes people fall step by step.
But that attraction is not intellectual, it leads to lust and unbearability. On the contrary, it makes people feel refreshed and open-minded, makes people feel vitality and beauty, and sprinkles sunshine into their hearts.
"I love all the little animals. They are the simplest, as long as they are good to them, they will return to their hearts. β
Fu Yingran rubbed the kitten in her arms, and picked up the cotton ball that kept rubbing her head against her arm and begging for a hug next to her.
"This is the cotton ball, my own son."
Fu Yingran said that he laughed first, stretched out his arm and put the cotton ball into the emperor's arms, and said with a charity expression, "Give you a hug." β
Cotton Ball expressed dissatisfaction with Fu Yingran sending himself into someone else's arms, meowing in displeasure, scratching his limbs, but he was honest when he felt the emperor's flattery.
Nestled comfortably in the emperor's arms with his belly on his back, enjoying the caress of his belly and chin, comfortably pursed his eyes, and was drowsy.
The emperor was amused by its cute appearance, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and the whole person was overflowing with a gentle atmosphere.
"What are the other cats called, do they all have names?"
Fu Yingran raised his face with a smile, "Of course." The cotton ball is the boss, and the rest are two lazy, three round, four tears, five soft, six strong, and seven ugly. β
She read her name and pointed to the seven cats, and took her seat.
The emperor's chest pounded with laughter, and his facial features were all laughing.
A group of palace people waited from afar, all of them cast surprised eyes, the emperor had not smiled so happily for a long time, but today he laughed one after another in Yinghui Garden.
Zhongchang was not as fuss as the other palace people, his eyes were dark and deep, and he looked at Fu Ying's gaze with a sharper scrutiny.
"What is the name of your acquisition, it's far from a cotton ball."
