Chapter 18: The Palace Maiden Who Can Climb Trees (Happy New Year)
The dragging bed slid on the ice, Zhu Youxiao wrapped his mink fur tightly, casually looking at the open landscape around him.
Qiongdao towers in the north, the south platform (Yingtai) confronts in the south, and the long bridge lies on the waves, like a weeping rainbow......
Zhu Youxiao suddenly saw a pale red figure moving slowly on the trees on the shore not far ahead.
The palace maid Zhang Yuer entered the palace during the Wanli period, when she was only six years old, and now she is seventeen years old in the cardamom years, and she is slim and delicate.
However, there are so many palace maids, how big the palace is, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs who have never seen the emperor in their lives.
Zhang Yuer didn't have the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, so she honestly became a palace maid and did her own work. can eat and dress warmly, even if it is muddy, it is involuntarily, don't all palace people come over like this?
Moreover, Zhang Yuer has a relatively straight temperament and is not very good at flattery, so naturally he can't make any good deals. was sent to the West Garden to do rough work such as sprinkling and sweeping, and he was a cleaner.
Today, the emperor suddenly came to Xiyuan, but it was a big deal.
Although the eunuchs and palace maids who did rough work could not come forward, they all hurriedly changed into bright clothes according to the orders of the internal officials, so that the emperor could be pleasing to the eye from a distance.
Over there, Zhu Youxiao was figuring out his gun, and Zhang Yu'er and other palace people were waiting in the distance.
Hey?! When Zhang Yuer was bored, she suddenly found a kitten crawling on a nearby tree out of nowhere.
Zhang Yu'er looked left and right, no one paid attention to her, so she walked a few steps, with a happy smile, stretched out her hand to greet, "Little kitten!" ”
The cat looked at the approaching girl, but did not wince, and the two different pupils stared at Zhang Yu'er brightly, as if they were scrutinizing.
"Boy, let me hug it!" Zhang Yuer's heart was budded, and the seventeen-year-old girl said softly like a little girl, stretching out her hands.
Xiaobai tilted his head, as if he was thinking, and then "meowed", didn't run or jump, was held in his hand by Zhang Yuer, and hugged him into his arms.
"You're so good, so beautiful!" Zhang Yuer was full of surprises, holding the cat, gently stroking, and instantly became a cat slave.
Xiaobai snuggled in the girl's arms, followed the girl's touch, shook her hairy head, and looked very enjoyed.
Zhang Yu'er became more and more pampered, and smiled more happily, "Your hair is white and soft, like snow!" Hey, your eyes are blue and yellow......"
While Xiaobai couldn't put it down, Zhang Yuer also guessed that this cat was so clean, it was definitely not a stray cat, it might have been raised by a noble person in the palace, and she couldn't help but feel lost and reluctant.
"I'm just a palace maid, I may not be able to support you!" Zhang Yuer picked up the cat, facing the two bright different pupils, and said with a sigh.
Xiaobai blinked his eyes and whimpered.
Zhang Yuer hugged the cat in her arms again, touched its head, and wanted to enjoy more intimate time with the cat.
Suddenly, Xiaobai's body moved, jumped from Zhang Yuer's arms, and climbed a big tree in three jumps.
"Cat-" Zhang Yu'er was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after her.
Just when Zhang Yuer reached out to reach the cat, Xiaobai took two steps back, turned around and climbed a branch higher.
"Good cat, come down." Zhang Yu'er stretched out her hands and coaxed softly, "Good, I have something delicious here." ”
Xiaobai stared at Zhang Yuer, meowed, and was not moved at all.
Zhang Yuer coaxed a few more times, and saw that the cat was not obedient, but she didn't continue to climb up, so she pulled her skirt and feet, used her hands and feet, and climbed up along the trunk.
This section of the trunk is on the shore, and it has fallen to one side, but it is not difficult to climb.
But as if deliberately teasing her, just when she was about to reach Xiaobai, the cat moved, and climbed a section higher.
"Oops, you're so naughty." Zhang Yu'er sneered, stretched out her hand to brush the snow ball that fell on her head, hesitated for a long time, and climbed up again under Xiaobai's tilted gaze.
Zhang Yuer climbed very hard this time, and Xiaobai didn't run away from the branches, as if waiting for her to catch her.
"Cheap maid, dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and you can't come down." A sharp scolding sounded under the tree, startling Zhang Yuer, who was reaching out to grab the cat.
Zhang Yu'er looked under the tree, and several palace people had rushed over, and the eunuch led by him was staring at him and was reprimanding with his face up.
And the emperor was wearing a mink fur and walked slowly, looking at him with curiosity and confusion, but there was no anger.
Zhang Yu'er was scared enough, and she didn't see that the emperor was not angry, so she didn't care about the cat, so she hurriedly climbed down.
It's easy to go up and hard to go down, Zhang Yuer was frightened again, her feet slipped, she screamed, and she fell.
Zhu Youxiao was very curious when he saw the palace maid climbing the tree, and when he came closer, he heard a delicate exclamation, and a figure fell from it.
Almost a subconscious action, Zhu Youxiao took two quick steps up and reached out to pick it up. A strong force crashed into his arms, he stumbled, and Zhang Yuer rolled into the snow.
The branches shook the tree, and a tent of snow fell, and the people under the tree were covered with all their heads.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuer did not climb high, only more than three meters. Although it also had a lot of impact, it only knocked Zhu Youxiao to the ground, and it was no big deal.
"Emperor, Emperor......" Wang Tiqian was shocked and ran over to rescue the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao was helped up, threw off the snow on his body, and turned his head to look at the palace maid who was climbing the tree.
Zhang Yuer knew that she had caused a big disaster, knelt down in the snow, and kowtowed again and again, "The slave and maid deserve to die, please forgive the emperor." Damn it......"
"You bitch, you hit the emperor, you really deserve to die." Wang Tiqian saw that the emperor was fine, and scolded again.
Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and stopped Wang Tiqian, his expression was a little weird, it felt good to hold it just now, this girl is very material!
"Meow!" Xiaobai jumped down from the tree, jumped in front of Zhang Yuer, turned his head to look at everyone, his eyes were round, and he let out another "meow", as if he was defending Zhang Yuer.
"Xiaobai-" Zhu Youxiao didn't expect the cat to suddenly appear, he didn't bring Xiaobai to Xiyuan. However, he also figured out in an instant the reason why this palace maid climbed the tree.
"It turned out to be the White Lady." Wang Tiqian immediately smiled, squatted and wanted to hug Xiaobai.
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, Wang Tiqian, this dog slave, is really a dog slave, and the title given to Xiaobai is very good!
Xiaobai ignored it, rubbed Zhang Yuer's arm supported in the snow, tilted his head, looked at Zhang Yuer's face, and let out an affectionate cry of "meow".
Zhang Yuer didn't dare to look up, looking at the cute cat on the ground, and didn't dare to laugh.
"Look up." Zhu Youxiao's heart was moved, and he spoke.
Zhang Yu'er hesitated, slowly raised her head, and finally saw the young emperor, and immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly.
Well, it's pretty good-looking!
Zhu Youxiao made a decision, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai is willing to be close to you, I will make you a shovel official, and you will take care of Xiaobai in the future." ”
After speaking, Zhu Youxiao turned around and left.
