Chapter 21: Lin De Temple

Tweeted! ”

The little chick that was playing with a half-curtain in its mouth saw the big white cat suddenly come in, thinking that it wanted to play with itself, so he poked the curtain in his mouth into the white cat's mouth.

Cheng Xiaoxiao arched the little chick with her head, signaling it to play by herself, she has no heart now (qg).

Chu Yunshen's fingertips caressed her chin just now, and the instinctive feeling of comfort and happiness made her uncontrollably want to rub her head into his palm.

Although she is now in control of this (shēn) body, she is powerless to do anything about some cat instincts.

It's like last night, she just ate the chicken, duck and fish (rou) that she usually eats, and she almost killed this small (shēn) body!

"Lord, the carriage is ready."

Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up the little chick and came out from under (chuáng).

"Come here." Chu Yunshen handed the book in his hand to Xiao Wu, then patted his leg and motioned for Cheng Xiaoxiao to come into his arms.

And Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the book "How to Make a Cat Like You" in Xiao Wu's hand, (shēn) turned around and slipped out the door!

Xiao Wu was so frightened that he hurried to chase, "Little Ancestor, we're going to go!" Don't get into trouble anymore! ”

Chu Yunshen's hand froze in mid-air, usually as long as he patted his leg, the little thing immediately jumped into his arms.

What's going on today?

"Lord! The cat is in the carriage too. Just frightened his subordinates. His subordinates chased it out, but it went straight to the Lord to get into your carriage! Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then lifted the curtain for Chu Yunshen.

Chu Yun looked at the little thing nesting under the couch, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, the little thing was pretending not to see him at this time, and he was playing happily with the little chick.

"Books." Chu Yunshen sat in the carriage and swept his eyes over the book that was half exposed in Xiao Wu's arms.

"Yes!" Xiao Wu immediately took out the book in his arms and handed it to Chu Yunshen, and then pointed to a delicate mahogany box in the car and said, "Lord, the other books are placed here." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yunshen reclined on the couch, glanced at the mahogany box lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Wu lowered the curtain and said to the convoy that was ready to go, "Let's go." ”

"Congratulations to the prince!"

The petty officials outside the post station knelt down in unison.

Along the way, Chu Yunshen had a book as his companion, and from time to time he used what was written in the book for Cheng Xiaoxiao (shēn), and Cheng Xiaoxiao was always teased by him to the point that his face was flushed and he left with fried hair.

Chu Yunshen was a little suspicious that it was written in the book or that he had done it wrong.

The book says that cats like to be rubbed their ears, he just rubbed the ears of small things with his thumb and forefinger, at first it made a "purr" sound, nestled in his arms and closed his eyes to enjoy it, who knew that the next second it made a "whoosh" sound, and violently exploded (shēn) on the hair into the (chuáng).

Chu Yunshen opened the "Dictionary of Cat Language" and saw that it was written

The cat purred a "purr" sound, indicating safety and contentment. The cat makes a "whoosh" sound, indicating excitement or fear. ’

Chu Yunshen patted the couch and said to (chuáng), "Come out." ”

"Meow~"

(chuáng) came the soft sound of the little thing.

Chu Yunshen didn't know what went wrong.

In the past, when he didn't know how to raise cats, he got along with small things (tg) harmoniously, but since he learned a lot of knowledge about raising cats, he has become more and more estranged from small things.

"You can't get out."

Chu Yun said sharply.

"Meow~"

I saw a small cat's head coming from under the bed.

Cheng Xiaoxiao yelled at Chu Yunshen flatteringly, and then looked at the water in Chu Yunshen's hand, no, she frowned a little, it was water again, she had been drinking and sleeping for several days in a row, and the food she ate every time had no taste at all.

Her mouth was dying.

Now, because of the timely replenishment of water, the cat hair on her (shēn) has become fluffy again.

As soon as the scar is good, it is easy for people to forget.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at a plate of osmanthus crisp on the table and meowed.

But Chu Yunshen didn't seem to see it, he scooped Cheng Xiaoxiao in his arms, and then picked up the water and put it in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao's mouth, "Drink." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao shook the cat's head and called softly, "Meow~"

She doesn't want to drink anymore!

Chu Yunshen touched the smooth hair on her (shēn), and the hand holding the bowl moved a little closer to Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Drink." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't screw him, so she could only drink it obediently with the cat's head down.

After drinking the big bowl full of water, Chu Yunshen pinched a little osmanthus crisp from the table and said, "You can only eat this, the book says that eating too much sweet is not good for your heart." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the rice-sized osmanthus cake on Chu Yunshen's fingertips, and stretched out her little tongue (tiǎn) hard, this is better than nothing.

And Chu Yun felt the meaning of his fingertips, and instinctively retracted his hand.

Cheng Xiaoxiao let out a "woo! Then she lunged forward, and she wasn't done yet! Don't waste anything!

After Cheng Xiaoxiao soaked Chu Yunshen's fingertips (tiǎn) and didn't have the sweetness of osmanthus crisp at all, she smacked her mouth and let go of Chu Yunshen's fingers.

Chu Yunshen took out a silk to dry his fingers, then picked up the "Dictionary of Cat Language" from the table and checked the little thing's cry just now.

I saw that the book read, 'The cat makes a 'whining' sound to indicate that it is defending what it thinks is important.'"

That is to say, his fingers were the most important thing for the little things just now.

As soon as Chu Yunshen thought of this, a trace of warmth rose in a corner of his heart.

The next way back to Beijing was spent in Chu Yunshen and Cheng Xiaoxiao, one person and one cat, you catch me and escape.

"Lord, the capital has arrived." The carriage paused, and Xiao Wu's voice came from outside the car, "Shall we go back to King Jing's Mansion or enter the palace first?" ”

Chu Yun deeply touched the little thing that he had just successfully caught in his arms, pressed the head of the little thing back into his arms with a big hand, and then said indifferently outside the car, "Enter the palace." ”

"Yes." Xiao Wu answered, and then said to the entourage (shēn), "You go back to the Jingwang Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

The convoy split up after a fork in the road, one team went to King Jing's Mansion, while Chu Yunshen and Mu Bai's carriage went to the palace.

As soon as Cheng Xiaoxiao heard that the capital had arrived, she jumped out of Chu Yunshen's arms.

The whole body (shēn) is crouched on the window, the curtain is lifted with the cat's paws, and the eyes are wide open.

I saw shops on both sides of the street, teahouses, wine shops, pawnshops, and workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.

The sunlight faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles next to it, adding a bit of hazy to the bustling capital in front of him.

On the brightly colored cornices of the abrupt horizontal pavilions, the shop signboard flags fluttered high.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who has been staying in a remote place since she crossed over, looked at such a bustling street scene, coupled with a series of delicacies passing in front of her, her heart was stupid.

She touched the jade pendant around her neck with her cat's paw.

She knew what this last wish was, and before she left, she must let Bai Wuchang and Black Impermanence let her eat the food of the capital from the street to the end of the street in a human form!

Da Chu, February 29 of the 20th year of Hongde, the capital of Chu is Lin De (diàn) in the Bianjing Palace of the Great Liang Dynasty.

The fine white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, the phoenix spreads its wings (yu) on the sandalwood carved cornices, and the large pillars are supported by a number of red giant columns, each carved with a swirling and coiling golden dragon.

And next to the wall panel of the floating window jade piled up by the green tile, there is a large case of pear marble, with a thick fold on the case, and dozens of treasure inkstones.

On the throne of the gold-lacquered dragon (diàn), there is a king who looks down on the world.

I saw that this person (shēn) was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, under the surging golden waves at the corner of the robe, the belt of the robe was carried high by the wind, the resolute long eyebrows were slightly frowned, the black eyes like ink jade flashed with a warm brilliance, and the handsome face reflected the morning light, with the majesty of the gods and the innate nobility of (shēn), the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world.

This is the Great Chu Emperor Chu Hongzhen, who ascended the throne at the age of 26 and has been in power for 20 years.

Chu Hongzhen is not an ambitious reigning emperor, he is already very satisfied with his contribution to the ancestral society, and does not want to annex the surrounding territories and dominate the world.

Now, he only thinks about cultivating Hongyi to become an excellent heir and passing on the legacy left by his ancestors.

But Chu Yunshen, a rebel, disrupted his plan.

Wu sent envoys to Chu to pay tribute, but he was good, relying on his own military power, he didn't take his father and emperor in his eyes at all, and cut the envoys to the ground!

The friendly exchanges between the State of Chu and the State of Wu made him completely ruined with these few swords.

Fortunately, he sent Li Sanchuan to negotiate peace, and then let this rebel continue to be belligerent, lest it be unfavorable to Hongyi in the future!

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for princes to seize the heirs and cause cannibalism and chaos in the court.

He originally wanted to delay it for another two years, but more than ten years of diligent government career had already made this hard-working Great Chu Tianzi gray in his temples at the age of forty.

The deteriorating body reminded him from time to time that he had to arrange everything for his beloved youngest son Hongyi when he was still in good health.

Cut off the thoughts of the rest of the sons, otherwise there will be trouble after (ri).

"Holy." While Chu Hongzhen was wandering, Yuan Qing's shrill voice came from his ears.

Yuan Qing was a eunuch who served on the side of the Great Chu Tianzi (shēn), and when Chu Hongzhen was only the prince of the East Palace, Yuan Qing was already serving on the side (shēn).

Now Chu Hongzhen has become the son of heaven of Great Chu, and Yuan Qing's status is also rising, and he sits firmly in the position of one of the two supervisors in the inner prison.

It can be said that he is one of the two great eunuchs with the highest rank and the greatest authority in the palace at present.

"What?" Chu Hongzhen asked.

"King Jing is already waiting outside." Yuan Qing, who was already groveling on the side, bent down and whispered back.

Chu Hongzhen pondered for a moment, and said coldly, "Let him stand there." ”

Yuan Qing trembled when he heard this, "Obey the sage's command." ”

Then some of them looked at King Jing who was standing outside (diàn), and his head was red at this time, and he looked like King Jing should have come to face the saint as soon as he returned to Beijing.

"Why hasn't the prince come out yet!"

Mu Bai got down from the carriage and saw that it was dark outside, Chu Yunshen had already been in the palace for a long time, so he should have come out.

"I'll go ahead and ask." Xiao Wu walked towards the (j) army guarding the gate of the palace.

(j) The soldiers immediately stopped him, "What the hell! ”

"Big brother!" Xiao Wu said with a smile, "I am King Jing's guard Xiao Wu, my prince entered the palace at noon, and he hasn't come out yet?" Please help me go in and take a look. ”

The (j) army leader looked Xiao Wu up and down, Xiao Wu understood, took out a bag of broken silver in his arms and secretly handed it to the (j) army leader, and then bowed (shēn) and leaned down in the ear of the (j) army leader and said, "Brothers have been standing guard for a day, this brother please drink." ”

The (j) army leader checked the money bag in his hand, glanced at Xiao Wu with satisfaction, and then called a (j) army to go to the palace to investigate.

"Thank you, big brother."

Xiao Wu hurriedly thanked.
