Chapter 272: In the Palace

As twilight rises, the octagonal palace lamps are lit up in the cloisters of the palace, and the plain curtains raise a faint purple glow in the sunset.

Xiaohua lay under the porch and looked up at the sound of footsteps. A eunuch brought a pot of fresh beef, walked up to Xiaohua and threw it to Xiaohua tremblingly, his feet trembling. The beef was delicious, it should have just been chopped down alive, dripping with blood and a little hot. Xiaohua buried herself in her supper and did not look at the timid and annoying eunuch.

After eating the meat, Xiaohua licked her front paws, got up leisurely and moved her seat, and walked towards the garden outside the porch. The eunuch was relieved, and ran away quickly with the empty bucket, and after a while, several more people came, mopping and sprinkling the corridor where Xiaohua had just eaten and sprinkled incense powder. A gust of wind blew, and the smell really disgusted the little peanut, and flashed his paws at those eunuchs, frightening those eunuchs to crawl and crawl, and was about to flee to the palace, when he suddenly knelt on the ground, and his voice was crying: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The emperor walked in, stood under the eaves and glanced at Xiaohua with a smile, "Fox, bullying them for fun again?" Xiaohua ignored him, and he didn't care, and went straight into the palace. The maidservants and eunuchs rushed in with plates, and it was time for the emperor to eat. Xiaohua was bored and walked around the garden, frightened many timid minions, and returned to lie down in her original seat under the porch.

Xiaohua raised her forepaw and scratched her eyes, the emperor naturally couldn't hear the whispers of these minions, but he couldn't escape Xiaohua's ears. Previously, the emperor went out to conquer the state of Chu, broke through the imperial city and set fire to it for three days, and returned triumphantly and brought back two princesses of the state of Chu. Xiaohua saw those two princesses for the first time today.

Yaoyao heard the eunuchs huddle the two into the garden, and Xiaohua lowered her paws and looked up. A girl walking in front looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth and angry eyes, and her appearance was the best in this harem where there were not hundreds of people but eighty. It's just that the look on his face is really ugly, and he is unwilling to walk forward under the push of the minion, and the corner of his eye swept to the small flower, and he suddenly frowned in disgust. The latter person is three or four years older than him, obviously they are sisters, but their appearance is not quite the same, which can be called delicate and elegant. He also saw Xiaohua and opened his mouth slightly, showing a little surprise. Xiaohua suddenly became stubborn, deliberately opened her mouth and shook her head, making it look like she was rushing towards her. The princess was so frightened that she paused, and finally her legs were not weak, and she looked at Xiaohua for a while, but suddenly showed a smile.

Could it be that she saw that Xiaohua was just trying to scare her? Xiaohua saw that the two of them were sent into the temple by eunuchs, and flicked her tail a little unhappily. The night breeze blew slowly, and the plain curtain brushed Xiaohua's head. Xiaohua looked up at the house, knowing that tonight's movement would definitely make Xiaohua noisy, so she simply turned around and ran out of the garden.

Xiaohua came to the palace under the guidance of the spirit weapon, and knew that the soul fragments of Jun Nan Que probably had something to do with these people, so she took the opportunity to blend in during a hunt, avoiding the bow and arrows in front of the emperor. The emperor saw that she was snow-white and cute and had nine tails, but he liked it very much.

The emperor raised Xiaohua in the palace, two meals of fresh beef a day, and occasionally took Xiaohua to the royal hunting garden to catch game. Anywhere in this palace, even if it was the court of the early dynasty, or the bed of the harem concubine, the emperor allowed Xiaohua to go. Most people in the palace are very afraid of Xiaohua, because Xiaohua will always bare their teeth at them, and sometimes hurt people. But just like they are all afraid of the emperor, who dares to say a word?

The sky was slightly bright, and there were eunuchs and maidservants hurrying through the hall. Xiaohua had just returned from a night in the Imperial Garden, and the emperor was dressed and ready to go to the morning court. He came out first, followed by a group of minions, and the emperor crossed the threshold and looked back and snorted coldly. Xiaohua saw that he was in good spirits, but his eyes were slightly dark, and he said that it was really wise that he didn't stay under the porch last night.

After the emperor left, the door was wide open, and Xiaohua sniffed, the bloody breath was too obvious, and she couldn't help but wonder if the two people inside were still alive. The eunuchs brought a soft sedan chair and parked it outside the hall, and after a while, a person came out of the palace, and it was the beautiful second princess of Chu State. Xiaohua saw that his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know if he was still angry, and he was wearing a piece of clothing on his body, and his exposed skin was full of bruises. Suddenly another person appeared in the corner of her eye, and the eldest princess of Chu supported the door and stepped out with difficulty. His face was also pale, and the corners of his mouth were bruised, but he was much better than his sister, and he was finally in perfect clothes. There was a gloating look on the face of the eunuch behind him, no one went up to help him, but there were many black hands who pretended to help, but they pinched his waist fiercely. The eldest princess was probably covered in black and blue, frowning deeply, but pursed her mouth and didn't say a word.

She's also smart. It is said that the monarch of Chu has made the eldest prince the crown prince, they are not the same mother, and the eldest prince wantonly killed in the palace, originally a princess of a country, but now she is trapped in the harem of the enemy country, let the humiliation and torture be killed, isolated and helpless, how can those dog slaves not fall into the ground? If you are still holding the princess shelf, you don't know what crime you will suffer in the future.

Xiaohua slept lazily and woke up at noon. Although the emperor was fierce and belligerent, he was very diligent in political affairs, and usually stayed in the front hall during the day and returned to the palace in the evening.

The palace was quiet, and the eunuchs cleaned the dormitory in the morning and went into hiding. Two or three maidservants got together to discuss the rights and wrongs of the harem, and they were not afraid of being listened to and pulled out their tongues. Xiaohua was bored, got up and shook her hair, and went out of the garden to wander around.

Somehow, I came to the side palace. The side palace is very large, and the people who live there are some unsealed and unnumbered pets, there are men and women, new and old. Xiaohua followed the breath and found the courtyard of the princess of Chu. The two princesses live in a room, and Xiaohua stands outside the window, pushing open the window with her forepaw.

The furnishings in the house are shabby, and it is really different from the emperor's bedroom. Xiaohua didn't see the servant, the eldest princess sat in front of the bed with a bowl of medicine, scooped a spoonful to her sister's lips, and coaxed: "You drink medicine while it's hot." The second princess had already woken up, half-sitting on the head of the bed, her beautiful eyes gradually mist, which was really pitiful, "What are you doing with medicine? When you are well, let the thief take away the head of the thief? The country is ruined, and it has fallen to this point, and it is not interesting to live." The eldest princess persuaded softly: "If you don't live, can't you die?" The second princess suddenly raised her eyes, the glass was quenched, and she was about to collapse into a spark, "The imperial sister is right! The second princess of the dignified Chu Kingdom is looking for death like this, wouldn't it be a joke for the thief?" The eldest princess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he was finally willing to drink the medicine, and thought for a while: "Now in his palace, you don't want to be a thief and a thief, let others hear, it will inevitably cause trouble." ”

The second princess said incredulously: "Is the imperial sister still afraid of the thief leader?
