Chapter 37: The Cat Afraid of Mouse
Speaking of the old things in the palace, the big guys are all very interested.
Yuejian put his fingertips on the edge of the teacup, looked at everyone, and said, "You all know that the emperor is afraid of cats." ”
Shen Lingjun and Zhao Qi all nodded, this matter is not a secret.
However, some people have heard of it, but they don't know the specific reasons, such as Li Mengbai and Shen Changfeng.
Li Mengbai asked: "Could it be that the emperor let the cat bite you?" ”
Feng Zheng took the teapot and added water, and laughed: "You think it's a dog." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded very seriously: "Well, cats only scratch people, never bite people." ”
Su Mu leaned on the windowsill to look at the outside style, and then turned his head and said, "I heard that it is related to the previous Concubine Xiao Shu." ”
Feng Zheng ran to the door, opened the door and looked around, then ran back, and asked in a low voice: "Yuejian, you tell the truth, did Concubine Xiao Shu let the emperor kill her?" ”
Tsukimi grew up in the Imperial Palace and trained to become a guard. Once, when Wu Cao, who was still the queen of heaven, encountered an assassination, he almost made people murder, and the emperor specially sent two Yuejian sisters to protect Wu Cao, and to this day.
Therefore, those things in the palace, no one knows better than Tsukimi.
Tsukimi scratched his face: "Well, this is a complicated matter, so it's not easy to say." ”
Feng Zheng said to everyone vividly: "Let me tell you, it is rumored that Concubine Xiao Shu cried when she died, and reprimanded 'Ah Wu is cunning, and it is still like this!'" May I be born as a cat and Ah Wu as a rat in the next life, and I will be choked by the throat of life. So, the emperor killed all the cats in the palace overnight. ”
Tsukimi twitched the corner of his mouth: "You know it, you saw it with your own eyes?" ”
"Someone else told me, Tsukimi, you should have seen it, isn't that the case?" The pure black eyes of the seal were shiny and shining with the light of gossip.
Yuejian wiped off the water stains on the side of the tea bowl, tilted his head and said: "When I went in, Concubine Xiao Shu had already passed away, but later the emperor said that he had a nightmare and dreamed of a cat demon asking for his life, so it was very taboo to keep cats in the palace." As for the merits, I can't speculate on them. ”
The rest of the people understood that Tsukimi didn't want to say it. It is also understandable that she is the emperor's personal servant, and there is no reason to talk nonsense.
Shen Lingjun grabbed a chopstick on the table with two fingers and knocked on Feng Zheng's forehead: "You are a scholar, and you are exploring flowers today, don't you know that the rumors in the world cannot be believed?" ”
He nodded violently during the play: "That's it." ”
Ye Qingzhi reminded: "What did Li Mingyue do later? ”
all let Feng Zheng deviate from the topic, and everyone cast contemptuous glances at the same time.
Yuejian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I probably like to raise some small animals at an innocent age, Li Mingyue raised a pure black Persian cat at that time." It is said that the cat is still very spiritual, Li Mingyue accidentally fell into the river one year, and it was this cat that saved her life, so she was even more fond of this cat. ”
opened his mouth wide during the play: "Isn't it a cat demon who has become a sperm." ”
Luo Cheng clamped his mouth with two fingers during the play and motioned for Tsukimi to continue.
Yuejian bent his eyebrows: "At that time, King Yue was ordered to enter Beijing to attend the princess's wedding, and he was allowed to bring his family, so he also brought Li Mingyue over." He didn't know that Li Mingyue was reluctant to separate the cat for too long, so he kept hiding it on his body. Just when he was in front of the emperor, I don't know what kind of incense powder someone used at the scene to stimulate the cat, and the cat that Li Mingyue secretly hid in the sleeve cage suddenly came out and pounced on the emperor. ”
"Huh-" Feng Zheng's eyes widened, and he said, "What a big guts." ”
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Look for death." ”
Ye Qingzhi shook her head: "If I were her father, I would faint in fear." ”
You must know that although the emperor was still the queen of heaven back then, the government has gradually been taken over by her, and she has always acted decisively and with a strong style, and no one in the court dared to resent.
Shen Changfeng said: "But the emperor did not blame. ”
Yuejian smiled meaningfully: "Because Li Mingyue also did one thing." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, and because of the large number of orders, he took turns to deliver three times before the wine and food were served.
The dishes on the table are full of color, flavor and flavor, and everyone does not have the urge to put down the chopsticks immediately.
I like to listen to stories the most during the play, and I urged at this moment: "See you in the moon, you say it quickly." ”
Yue saw that he didn't sell it, picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of yam, and said: "Li Mingyue said in front of all the adults present - everyone in the world knows that cats catch mice, and rats are afraid of cats, I don't believe it, so I brought it over today for the emperor and the queen of heaven to testify." ”
Slowly chewed the yam in his mouth, and in the eyes of everyone, the chopsticks in Tsukimi's hand were embarrassed to stretch out, so he had to wait for the time being.
"Then, Li Mingyue used a silk handkerchief to make the shape of a mouse to attract the cat, it is strange to say, the cat was scared and trembling when it saw the fake mouse, all the hair stood up, and when Li Mingyue put the mouse in front of the cat's nose, the black cat simply stood on all fours and passed out." Tsukimi finished speaking in one breath and picked up the wine glass.
Waiting for the wine to enter his throat, Tsukimi blinked, and felt that something was wrong?
Look down at the glass - when did the wine turn into tea?
Li Mengbai put the teapot in front of her: "Miss Ye said that drinking alcohol is easy to leave scars, and there are meals, it is better to eat something light." ”
Tsukimi touched his cheek: "There is still this statement, I haven't heard of it." "But I didn't force it, it's the same when I drink tea and wine.
Feng Zheng lay on the table with half of his body on his stomach, frowning: "No, even if the cat doesn't catch mice, it won't be afraid of a fake mouse, right?" ”
This is exactly the doubt in everyone's mind.
Yuejian spread his hands: "Who knows, anyway, that's how it happened, and later the emperor didn't blame King Yue, and also rewarded Li Mingyue with a lot of things, and let her go back with the black cat." ”
Su Musha also quietly removed Shen Lingjun's wine glass, and said lightly: "This woman is not simple. ”
Zhao Qi snorted and said, "Li Zhen should be glad that she gave birth to a daughter. ”
The others looked at each other, and they all understood what he meant.
For a person with an embarrassing identity like Li Zhen, it doesn't hurt to be smart when she has a daughter, but if it's a son, I'm afraid it's not good.
Shen Lingjun grabbed the cup, it didn't feel right, put it in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "I want to drink!" ”
Su Mu said in a cool voice: "Is the injury healed? ”
Shen Lingjun rolled up his sleeves: "It's okay." ”
The scar had healed, and the scab had mostly receded, leaving a pale pink scar.
Because of the whiteness of the wrist, this scar is even more obvious, and it makes people feel unpleasant to look at.
Su Musha thought for a moment, took out another bottle of something, and smeared it on Shen Lingjun.
This time it was a black gelatin, a bit like crushed sesame seeds, and I don't know if Su Musha did it on purpose, so he wiped a thick layer, and after wiping it, there was originally only a thin scar, which suddenly became a big scar with a thick bowl mouth.
Shen Lingjun shook his hand: "No need, right?" ”
"Scar-free." The curtain covers the mouth of the bottle.
Ye Qingzhi glanced at it: "Snow skin, it's a good thing." ”
Shen Lingjun blew: "Is it expensive?" ”
Ye Qingzhi took a sip of soup and said, "There is no market." ”
Four simple words show that it is not a question of whether it is expensive or not, but a question of being absolutely very expensive.
Li Mengbai leaned over: "Little Uncle Ancestor, is this scar removal effect good?" ”
Su Musha shook his head honestly: "I don't know." "But it took a lot of effort for him to get it, and it shouldn't be bad.
Ye Qingzhi wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, picked up the bottle and put it in her hand to look at: "It is said that it can not only remove scars, but also make the skin whiter and more tender than the original, and can also remove wrinkles and nourish the skin, and return to youth." ”
Li Mengbai blinked: "Can you lend me it?" ”
Su Musha looked generous: "Well, I gave it to you." "He doesn't like things that other people have used, and this time he got two or three bottles by the way, just in case.
Yuejian also teased: "Xiaobai, do you want to be a little white face?" ”
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Mengbai stuffed the bottle in her hand, and said with a little twist: "That, cough, you wiped it before going to bed at night." ”
Yuejian shook the bottle, and still didn't react, and then, he bent his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up with starlight: "Thank you." ”
Feng Zheng sucked a group of fans, looked left and right, and covered his heart - this place is so empty and lonely.
After the meal, everyone walked from the restaurant to the Tingzifang in the north of the city.
Because Qinghe Cicada Feather separated from everyone with other salutes and other things, he went there to arrange the arrangements first, and it is estimated that it will be almost cleaned up at this time.
A few people in simple clothes led the horses, and it was considered to be shopping.
Xinjin Mansion is lively, and there are a lot of people coming and going on the street, so as they walked, a group of people asked passers-by to disperse.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha walked in the front, and happened to walk to a fragrant powder stall, surrounded by several girls, and selected rouge gouache from it.
The rouge gouache is naturally not the best color, but the box is quite exquisite, and Shen Lingjun looked at it twice.
Su Musha followed her gaze and swept her eyes: "Want to buy?" ”
Shen Lingjun turned his head and said with a smile: "Just take a look." ”
Su Musha really stopped: "If you like it, buy it." ”
Shen Lingjun poked his face: "I said, Su Gongzi, did you buy everything you like." ”
Su Musha's expression was indifferent: "Hmm." "Reach for your money bag.
Shen Lingjun grabbed him by the collar and walked forward, shaking his head as he walked - loser, loser.
After they left, beside the incense powder stall, the girls held their faces, and their eyes were full of stars-
"It's so handsome......"
"The two of them are a good match!"
"I'm going home, and I'm going to find out which upstart our Xinjin Mansion has moved to recently......"
"I'll go too!"
The rouge gouache was thrown back, and the girls ran away with a puff of smoke.
The stall owner picked up a box of rouge, poked his head forward, and looked inexplicable: "Girl, beauty, cutie, don't you want it?" ”
……
Zhao Qi and Ye Qingzhi passed by a flower and bird market, and an eagle at the door attracted their attention.
Like Ye Qingzhi's character, she actually has no special interest in animals, but for some reason, when she saw this eagle trapped in a cage, she stopped.
