Tossed by the cat, Lingxi missed dinner time. When she returned to the ear room, Chun'er was lying facing the wall with her clothes closed, and when she heard Lingxi's footsteps, she hurriedly tucked the jade pendant carved into the auspicious cloud pattern in her hand under the futon.

When he turned around and saw that it was Lingxi, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "Why did you come back so early?" Mama lectured? ”

Chun'er knew that Mama Qin would not fail to mention the matter of Qiu Ju when she suppressed it, and now she was just thinking about which of the four of them to choose as a backing.

Lu'er can't escape, Qiu Ju is taken care of by her on weekdays, and she naturally has to take responsibility if something happens. Yuan Chun is close to Mama Qin on weekdays, so it should be fine. Although Xiao Tao is as innocent as her, Chun'er still feels that her chances of being pushed out are greater than others.

It's just because of the jade pendant she just held in her hand.

Thinking of this, Chun'er's tears flowed down like beads with broken threads again.

The jade pendant was given to her by Yao Buyun. Yao Buyun is Chun'er's fellow countryman, and he is also a classless guard in the Queen Mother's palace.

Since Yao Buyun knew that Chun'er was a fellow countryman, he took good care of this little sister. Although Chun'er is young, as the days go by, there is also some hazy feelings between the two of them.

This jade pendant was given to Chun'er by Yao Buyun when he was on duty, Chun'er blushed in the night, and it was at that time that Chun'er wanted to leave the palace, because the palace maids and guards were not allowed to have personal affairs in the palace. Of course, the master's marriage is another story. Chun'er didn't dare to expect that she and Yao Buyun would have such luck, only thinking that if she wasn't a palace maid, she would be able to get together with Yao Buyun.

In addition to his identity and age, Yao Buyun is six years older than Chun'er, and he is nineteen years old this year.

Most men in the Dashun Dynasty married early, and the children of rich and noble families were already fathers of two young children when they were nineteen years old.

Chun'er calculated the age of the two of them, and became more and more anxious, if she waited for her to leave the palace when she was old, she was afraid that Brother Yao would have already taken a wife and had children.

So she embroidered the picture of red plum and snow day and night, thinking about giving it to the head of arranging for the palace maid to leave the palace before Cui Guifei gave birth to the dragon son, so as to fulfill her wish.

But who knows that the sky is not as good as the people, Chun'er never expected that she would be seen by Mama Qin when she met Yao Buyun that day. In order to avoid Luo Meixuan's unclean words, Mama Qin was afraid that she would take advantage of this incident to send her away.

Seeing Chun'er crying, Lingxi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her, and said, "Sister, don't be careful, I didn't catch up with the meal, and I didn't think about going and came back......"

Chun'er took the post from Lingxi's hand and whispered, "Have you ever seen Xiao Tao Yuanchun and them?" ”

Lingxi shook her head, thinking that Chun'er was really scared in her heart, she had already said that she didn't go to dinner, and she actually asked if she had seen others.

"Sister," Ling Xi said, "does anyone in our palace have a cat?" ”

Chun'er wiped away her tears, tilted her head while holding the handkerchief, and replied, "I don't know about other palaces, we haven't heard of cats in Yongshou Palace...... The palace people can't keep some things privately......"

Lingxi suddenly remembered that the palace people can't raise cats, but the master can. Didn't Shangguan Yan'er hug a white cat on the day she entered Yongshou Palace?

I think the cat I saw at the door of Xinuan Pavilion was Shangguan Yan'er.

Seeing that Lingxi's face had changed, Chun'er hurriedly asked, "Ling'er, why are you asking this?" ”

Lingxi's eyes blinked, full of smiles, "Sister, I know who did this." ”

Chun'er hurriedly covered Lingxi's mouth, "Don't say this nonsense, it will offend people when you hear it." ”

Lingxi smiled, "Sister is too careful, it's not a person who does this, it's a cat." Sister, listen to me......"

Lingxi told Chun'er about seeing the cat, and said that there is a cat in Yongshou Palace now, which is a plaything given to Empress Dowager Cui by Concubine Dong.

Chun'er was also overjoyed when she heard this, this beast broke down the flower branches, and it can't be blamed on people's heads.

stopped crying at the moment, and took Lingxi to Xinuan Pavilion.

Under the careful search of the two people, they really found a cat hair under the green leaves of the ball chrysanthemum.

Chun'er pinched the cat hair and cried with joy, now that there is evidence, even if Mama Qin wants to embarrass her, she can't find a reason. After this pass, she will send some more broken silver, and the matter will be over.

Chun'er took Lingxi's hand and wanted to tell Mama Qin to go, but was stopped by Lingxi, "Sister, no." Tell Mama now, Mama will think that we did this, and deliberately found such a cat hair to shirk responsibility, and I am afraid that it will be even more unclear at that time. ”

Chun'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Lingxi's eyes rolled, "Catch the thief and catch the dirty, let's let Mama Qin see that this cat is harming Qiu Ju, then we will be fine......"

Chun'er didn't have an idea, so she said, "There won't be anything wrong." ”

Lingxi shook his head, "No, if the cat can come once and twice, then it will come three times and four times." The left and right chrysanthemums will not be able to get the front hall tomorrow, so let's watch it all the time, and take it down when we come. ”

Chun'er thought and thought, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded, "Do you still want to tell others?" ”

"Tell, of course tell, but you can't tell ...... explicitly"

Lingxi pulled Chun'er back to the room, found the winter coat with fur lapels that she wore during the winter, and compared it to the cat hair to find a lot of soft hairs from above.

"This collar is rabbit hair, and the hair is thicker than cat hair. But if you don't put them together and compare them, you can't see it," Lingxi put his hand on Chun'er's hand and comforted, "Sister, they're coming back from dinner, don't go out, wait for me to scatter these rabbit furs to Xinuan Pavilion." ”

Chun'er knew that Lingxi was for her good, so she nodded, "Don't be seen......"

Sure enough, before the lights went out, the entire Luomei Xuan craftsmen whispered privately about the animals in the Warm Pavilion, leaving a warm pavilion of hair.

Since they did not catch any living creatures, none of the craftsmen dared to take a few hairs to talk to their grandmother, so they could only be more careful in their hearts, for fear that the flowers and plants they were waiting for would suffer the same bad luck as a ball chrysanthemum.

Chun'er looked at the entire Luomei Xuan craftsman as if she were facing a great enemy, and pointed at the forehead of the Lingxi, "You are clever." ”

Lingxi covered his small mouth with his hand and snickered, "Isn't this much better than the two of us going to catch cats?" ”

That night, the craftsmen took turns on duty and had nothing to say.

The next morning, Mama Qin's mood seemed impetuous. Because today is the time when the purple jade girl comes to ask for Qiu Ju, she is thinking about how she can push this matter with herself completely in order to protect herself.

Lingxi and Chun'er were making flowers and feeding birds in the East Warm Pavilion, and secretly looked at the East Warm Pavilion through the open window.

Chun'er whispered, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Luo Xiao, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the Dongnuan Pavilion together, asked, "What is Chun'er talking about?" What not to go? ”

Chun'er hurriedly replied, "Sister Luoxiao misheard, I mean why hasn't the fertilizer for this camellia come yet, I went to urge the fertilizer last time, and said that it was sent over yesterday, but it's been a day and there's not a shadow......

Luo Xiao said softly, "Are you really waiting for someone to send it to you?" Hurry up and find time to get it, delay the camellia, it's ...... at fault"

Before Luo Xiao finished speaking, he heard a shouting sound from Xinuan Pavilion, followed by two cat meows.

Lingxi was stunned when he heard this, and rushed out with the cage coat in his hand. Seeing a cat being held down by Lu'er, Yuan Chun next to him wanted to catch it with his hands but couldn't do it.

Lingxi walked to the front and used the cage to cover the cat, and then lifted it upside down.

Xiao Tao's tears of excitement flowed out, "Now, this is good......"

Mama Qin heard the movement and walked out of the house, and saw a group of people surrounding Lingxi, who was carrying a cage that was constantly moving.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Mama Qin said as she walked, "If you don't work in the blue sky and daytime, what are you doing here?" Isn't that enough? ”

Lu'er knelt down, pointed to the cage in Lingxi's hand and said, "Mama is in charge......"

There was already a cry in the voice that followed.

Mama Qin raised her eyebrows, pointed to the cage clothes and asked, "What is this?" ”

The cat in the cage howled twice at the right time, and its voice was miserable. The cat's meow was followed by a cry from far and near, "Snowball, snowball!" ”

When the man ran closer, the sharp-eyed Lingxi recognized at a glance that it was Shangguan Yan'er who had entered the Yongshou Palace with her.

Shangguan Yan'er ran close to everyone, and at a glance saw the cage in Lingxi's hand, and the cat was still howling inside.

Shangguan Yan'er raised his hand and smoked Lingxi's mouth, "The next thing, the Queen Mother's cat is also something you can touch!" ”

Mama Qin originally saw Shangguan Yan'er with two beaded flowers with novel styles, and wanted to give some face. But Shangguan Yan'er didn't even ask her and reached out to beat her palace people, and really put her Mama Qin's face on the ground and stepped on it.

When he lowered his face, "Girl, where is this?" Run to my Luomei Xuan to spread wild. ”

Chun'er dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and only took a handkerchief to help Lingxi cover her face.

Shangguan Yan'er saw Mama Qin at this time, her knees were slightly bent, and she said with a smile, "Please Mama." ”

Mama Qin didn't smile, and twisted her body to accept Shangguan Yan'er's salute, "I can't stand the girl's peace, I'm afraid it will break me." ”

Shangguan Yan'er didn't want to bend her knees to Mama Qin, but when she saw Mama Qin like this, she immediately stood up straight, and said coldly on her face, "This cat was originally made by Concubine Dong Guifei to honor the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager Gang'er also brought it." Now that I have been arrested by the people in your yard, how can I give an account to the Queen Mother? I can't say anything about it, but Mama will follow me to the Queen Mother to help me say a few good words. ”

Mama Qin was so angry when she heard this, she gritted her teeth, and a little girl who hadn't grown her teeth yet dared to threaten her. Although she Mama Qin is not a figure who can be mentioned in this harem, she has also come from the wind and rain in the end.

Mama Qin sneered, "That's right, I'll go to the main hall with the girl." While saying good things to the girl, casually talk about my ball chrysanthemum here. The Empress Dowager of this ball chrysanthemum chattered from time to time, and she didn't know why the girl's cat ran here and broke the flower branches and destroyed the buds. Could it be that this ball of chrysanthemum can still grow legs and run to the realm where the girl has a cat? That's really a ball chrysanthemum, you should dig out its roots and pluck its leaves, so as to vent the girl's hatred! ”
