Chapter 69: Concubine Liu and the Black and White Cats
On the palace wall, two fat cats, one black and one white, are walking with enchanting and flexible steps, flowing back and forth on the narrow wall, you chase me.
Meow, arrived at a flower garden, under the grape trellis, a fairy woman in white, lying on a chaise longue, leisurely reading.
The black cat jumped, jumped from the wall to the grape trellis, fluttered again, jumped off the shelf, fell lightly on the woman's recliner, slowly walked down the side, moved to the woman's thigh, rubbed the woman's waist, and consciously found a place to lie on the claw.
The white cat followed, landed on the side of the chaise longue, couldn't find a place, meowed twice, and circled around the woman's feet.
The woman put the book in her hand, leaned over and picked up the chubby white cat, and looked at each other.
The white cat's blue eyes flickered as it stared at its owner, and it barked twice.
The hostess grabbed the front of her eyes and took two deep breaths, reported in front of her, and forcefully rubbed the white cat's head a few times, and gave the uncomfortable white cat a smooth hair.
The black cat raised its green eyes, glanced at the white cat with disdain, and silently pulled the hostess's thigh, forming herself in a circle and stuffing it into the gap between her thighs.
In order to show fairness, the hostess also smoothed the black cat's back hair twice, and the black cat resolutely refused to give in, so she had to purr twice in return.
The hostess thought that the rain and dew were in place, so she picked up the book and read it with peace of mind.
At the end of the flowerbed, a beautiful little round-faced palace maid appeared, and walked straight to this side with a tray in her hand.
"Niangniang, the refreshments in the small kitchen are ready, and the slave maid has made you your favorite snow-topped Pu'er, you can taste it." The little round-faced palace maid hooked the small round table next to the chaise longue a little and put the things in the tray in her hand on the table.
"Thank you, little Lian'er." Concubine Liu put down the book in her hand.
When the black cat saw that someone was coming, he jumped on the wall again.
The white cat stood up, watched the black cat go away and hesitated to pace in place for two steps, and saw the little round-faced palace maid Xiao Lian'er take out her beloved small dried fish snacks from her arms, so she threw the cat in her heart back, jumped on the small round table, and hurriedly spun around, meowing at Xiao Lian'er and Concubine Liu.
The black cat slipped back when she heard the sound, and her eyes looked directly at the small handful of dried fish that Xiao Lian'er took out and put in front of the white cat.
"Snowball is such a gluttonous cat." Concubine Liu nodded the head of the fat white cat who forgot to eat, and poked it harder, but the white cat didn't look up.
"Come down and have some food, briquettes." Concubine Liu called out to the black cat on the wall.
The black cat meowed loudly, and then ran up to the white cat, and gracefully and quickly took several slightly larger dried fish, and then ran up the wall, and snorted and ate.
Concubine Liu lifted the lid of her dim sum, it was hibiscus crisp, took a small piece and tasted it, the egg dough was crispy, the mushroom meat filling was fragrant, and the taste of fried shallots was attractive, and it was very suitable for afternoon tea with Pu'er tea.
Snowball smelled the smell of meat, tilted her head back again, leaned in to sniff, and was pressed away by Concubine Liu.
"Eat your little dried fish, you want to eat everything you see, be careful to become a fat ball, you can't catch up with our handsome briquettes." Concubine Liu scolded with a smile.
Xiao Lian'er lay on the table and stared intently at the snowball bar and ate her food, and then remembered to get down to business.
"That's right, Mama Li asked the slave to ask the mother, what birthday gift should I prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday in March? Do you want to go out and deliver it yourself? Are you going to attend the birthday party this year? Xiao Lian'er stared at her mother with wide eyes, tilted her head and asked.
Concubine Liu pinched the fingers of the hibiscus crisp tightly, and dropped a little dough residue to the table, and the snowball quickly stretched out her tongue and rolled it into her mouth when she saw it, and the dough was stained with saliva and fell out of the corner of its mouth, which did not quite match its taste, and continued to bury her head in eating her own small dried fish.
Concubine Liu smiled and said nonchalantly: "Go~ Why don't you go, I've been idle in the palace for almost three years, and everyone forgets our existence if we don't go out. ”
"Nope!" Xiao Lian'er replied in a daze: "Aren't we having a good time?" The palace is very well-behaved, and no one is presumptuous! ”
Concubine Liu ate the hibiscus crisp in her hand, clapped her palms, and stretched out her hand to Xiao Lian'er.
Xiao Lian'er took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers for her mother.
After cleaning up her fingers, Concubine Liu stood up, seeing that the time was just right, she planned to pick up the craftsmanship and continue to embroider the embroidery that had not been embroidered in these days.
Before leaving, he proudly said to Xiao Lian'er: "We are doing well because the palace is rich!" ”
