Chapter 28: The Cat Slave Attendant
In the end, Xiao Tian still brought Ying Ying back to Chengde Palace.
Zhao Youchen's face is not much better than the black pot. So when Ying Ying carefully followed behind with the three kittens, he was irritable in his heart.
Things developed too quickly, from Ying Ying's appearance in the garden, to His Majesty's discovery of a few kittens later, to Ying Ying's initiative to ask to be a palace attendant...... And what made him even more hellish was that not long ago, because he was going to steal food for these cats, he actually ate "Qingxin"?
How did things get to this point?
Zhao Youchen felt that he had a full head of reasons to oppose Ying Ying being taken back by His Majesty - even including the fact that His Majesty agreed to Ying Ying raising these cats of unknown origin in Chengde Palace.
However, he had no doubt that if he hadn't been there, if there weren't so many people watching from behind now, this majesty would definitely hold the cat in his arms, right?
When His Majesty was still the crown prince, I had never heard that he liked cats, dogs, and other small animals.
Or was he not in the palace at that time and didn't know much about His Majesty?
Zhao Youchen had already figured out how to send a letter to Taifu.
However, Taifu's trip to the northern capital was already very exhausting, and he had to worry about the affairs of Nanhua Palace here......
Zhao Youchen glanced at His Majesty who was walking briskly, as if he wanted to return to Chengde Palace as soon as possible, and sighed in his heart.
After all, he is young, and he is still playful, right?
When he returned to Chengde Palace, Xiao Qian ordered someone to fetch some hot goat's milk, and personally tested the temperature with his hands, and he couldn't wait to feed the kitten in person.
However, she looked at Zhao Youchen who was standing next to her, and still took care of her image a little, and handed over these things to Ying Ying.
Ever since Ying Ying expressed her heart in the garden, she has been extraordinarily quiet.
At this time, when he arrived at Chengde Palace, he also stood silently aside, and if Xiao Tian didn't call him, he seemed to be able to maintain that posture for a day.
As for how to take care of a small milk cat, Ying Ying is obviously a journeyman.
He poured out half of the milk from the small bowl and put it in another empty bowl, and then approached the kitten with half a bowl of milk.
The kittens' eyes tried to open wider when they smelled the milk, and their little fluffy paws excitedly tried to hold down the little bowl, and then scrambled to bury their heads in it and lick the sweet milk.
The more Xiao Tian looked at them, the more he felt that they were cute, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and his heart felt like being scratched by their claws.
Zhao Youchen felt that he couldn't watch it anymore.
"Your Majesty?" He reminded Xiao Tian in a low voice.
I haven't done anything serious yet.
Xiao Tian then remembered that he had promised Zhao Youchen about Zhao Youchen before bringing this Ying Ying back just now.
The kittens were fed and drunk, and they rubbed their little fluffy heads against each other, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao ordered someone to carry the kittens to the warm pavilion next to him, and Ying Ying knelt down obediently.
Xiao Tian is actually quite unaccustomed to seeing people kneeling in front of him.
If this is placed in modern times, it will be a long life.
But now it's different.
She thought that not long ago, when Taifu was still in Nanhua, the southern capital was initially decided, and after the change of the Yuan was completed, Taifu led her to stand on the high steps of the Qinzheng Palace, and loudly announced that the Great Xiao Dingdu Nanhua and the Dingyuan were used as the year name, and hundreds of courtiers below shouted Long live, and then knelt down to bow and kowtow.
Xiao Tian still remembers that feeling, although she still can't describe it clearly.
That's a feeling that you can't see no matter how many TV series you watch.
It's so real that it makes people shudder.
Unconsciously, it's been so long since she was liberated from that world, but life is like this, and sometimes you never guess what kind of beginning will be behind the end.
Like her, she has really lived in this world that she never imagined for so long.
Or in the identity of an emperor - well, more precisely, in the identity of an emperor.
Big head.
Xiao came back to her senses," Fang didn't have time to ask, "Because she has to feed the cat, otherwise she will be sad to starve to death again," Now you can tell me carefully, why did you take 'Qingxin'?" ”
Although this kind of thing is a standing medicine in the palace, it is not something that anyone wants to eat, right?
Ying Ying responded, and sure enough, he carefully explained the matter completely.
It couldn't be more coincidental than to say this.
The first is that Ying Ying meets the kitten in the palace who is abandoned by whom.
This kind of small animal is not allowed to be kept privately in the palace. What's more, there is only one emperor in this Nanhua Palace, and there are no other concubines and other masters.
It is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to keep cats, and everyone else in the palace is a minion, so how can they keep cats without permission?
So it is possible for cats to be abandoned.
When Ying Ying found out, two of them were already hungry and cold, and they were dying, and the remaining three were wrapped in his clothes and brought back to the Praetorian Guard's office.
But cats are not allowed in the palace, and they are also not allowed in the Praetorian Guard.
Ying Ying had no choice but to sneak the kittens in the garden and find food for them herself.
Although the Praetorian Guard's three meals a day are okay, those meals are not suitable for newborn kittens at all.
So Ying Ying had to look elsewhere for food.
He knew that this kind of kitten, which was not very old, was going to eat a liquid diet, preferably with milk or something. If this was outside the palace, he might have found it easier.
But this is the Imperial Palace.
There is no serious master in the palace other than His Majesty the Emperor, so if he wants to find liquid food, he can scoop a few bowls of rice soup, but if he wants to find milk, he can only go to the imperial dining room.
Ying Ying fed the cats with rice soup for two days, and she couldn't help but want to find some more nutritious food for them.
That's why he showed up in the imperial dining room, and after a few observations, he really found a chance to sneak in and steal a little milk.
There are two if there is one.
Although Ying Ying also knows that stealing is wrong, the three kittens are also living beings.
He grew up in the mountains and fields, and at this time he showed different values from ordinary court attendants.
His idea is simple, saving the cat is more important.
This brought trouble upon him.
You say you steal once, steal twice, and you steal a third time?
The chef of the Imperial Dining Room was a thoughtful man, and he caught the thief right now.
It's not enough to catch someone, he also found out that Ying Ying has not taken "Qingxin".
Ying Ying was thirteen years old at this time, and he was still a half-grown teenager, so it was impossible for him to be an errand boy in the court, so he could only be a palace attendant in the palace.
The palace attendant did not take "pure heart", which is a great deal.
How did the chef, who was busy in the kitchen all day long, know that Ying Ying was the person brought back by Zhao Youchen, and was annoyed by him stealing things at this time, so he ordered someone to beat him up until his legs were injured, and at the same time watched someone personally pour medicine on him, which drove him out with a stick.
Xiao Tian nodded, and let him pass the test in his heart.
