The Fourth Master's Dog

The Forbidden City in the middle of the first lunar month in the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

There were tiny and light snowflakes like catkins floating in the sky, drifting down one by one, just like white feathers fluttering in the sky.

It looks very romantic, but our protagonist Duofu is not in a romantic mood.

The ground and roof of the Forbidden City were covered with a thick layer of white. Stepping into it was like entering a world of ice and snow, and Duofu's mood was as cold as ice.

From afar, there were several gray and white dots moving quickly on the streets inside the palace walls.

With a sharp and piercing cry, Gray Dot walked faster.

"Hurry up, hurry up, run to our house. You've delayed our work. How many heads do you have?"

As these eunuchs entered the Zoo, the park immediately became lively.

Duofu was in the cage, wagging his short, slightly curled tail, looking around with his round eyes open. He saw that the zoo was unusually lively today, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all busy doing their work.

Is there an important person coming? When I thought of this, I became excited. I must seize the opportunity to leave this damn place.

Duofu, with tears on his face, recalled that after a week here, he realized that he had traveled through time, perhaps to the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and became an unknown puppy.

You say, just travel through time, others who traveled through time to the past all became big shots, even if they couldn't become big shots, at least they could still travel through time as human beings.

It really doesn't work! He would be willing to be dressed as a eunuch, at least he is still half a human being, unlike him who is so unlucky and dressed as a little puppy.

Why is his life so miserable? Isn't it just playing games for a whole day and night?

So much so that he was dressed as a dog? A Qing Dynasty dog ​​at that. There is no animal protection association here!

Oh my god, he wants to go home. Woohoo! He wants to go home! His two paws scratched the floor desperately, his whole body lying on the ground, his two eyes looking at the sky, full of depression and dissatisfaction.

Thinking about the dog’s life this week, not eating well, not drinking well, not sleeping well, sometimes being unlucky and being bullied by other animals, makes me want to cry even more.

Watching the eunuchs walking around in the garden hurriedly, holding tools, sweeping the snow on the ground clean, the garden was cleaned spotlessly.

Who is the important person coming? The place is already clean, but they still need to clean it. Could it be that Emperor Kangxi is coming?

Every animal in the garden has a dedicated eunuch to clean it, listening to the rising and falling sounds of various animals in the garden.

Duofu opened his eyes wide and saw a familiar eunuch cleaning the cage inside and out, leaving no corner untouched. Even Duofu himself was cleaned thoroughly.

"Oh, it hurts, be gentler, it won't hurt if it's not your fur. Woof, woof, woof, woof." The sound of a dog barking in a childish voice rang out.

Duofu's clear and bright eyes opened wide. Damn it, isn't it your hair? It doesn't hurt. All the hair on his body stood up. His hind paws retreated. The cleaning eunuch took a look and didn't take it seriously. He finished his work, locked the cage, and left.

"All for our home, clean carefully. In a little while, the imperial concubine will come to select the pets, if anything unexpected happens later. Be careful, your skins."

Looking at the eunuch standing in the middle of the garden, who was wearing a blue eunuch uniform and holding a dustpan in his hand, and looked a little old, he spoke in a sharp voice.

Duofu lay on the carpet with his whole body, his tail wagging unconsciously, his big eyes rolling, and his head full of question marks.

Imperial Concubine, which Imperial Concubine? He is now, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Imperial Concubine? Is it Imperial Concubine Tong?

He only knew this one imperial concubine, and that was thanks to the influence of Qing dynasty dramas in recent years. He knew a little about Imperial Concubine Tong, the Fourth Prince, and Concubine De, but he knew nothing about the others!

As a science student, I didn’t study history in my first year of high school and I had no interest in this area. Who would think about how many wives an emperor had!

I'm so angry! Why did he travel through time? And he traveled through time to the Qing Dynasty.

Can he still compete for favor? If he wants, he can ask those female compatriots who like the Qing Dynasty to travel through time and compete for favor. His cousin seems to like it, something like Si Si.

Let him go back and let his cousin come instead.

"My internet cafe, my games, my gear, wuwuwuwuwu, they're all gone."

Fortunately, this young man has an optimistic heart. As long as he can hold on to a yellow thigh, he will have food and drink and someone to serve him in the days to come.

Looking at the eunuch's thin body next to him, he was skinny, had little flesh on his body, and had a pale face and thin muscles.

Are the eunuchs in the palace all having such a hard time? He hadn't seen a single fat eunuch in the past week.

He stood up and shook his chubby body. He felt that his life was more comfortable than those eunuchs. Although the food was not very good and the living environment was not good, at least he was alive.

Not having to worry about losing your life at any time is the highest state of living a life of idleness and waiting for death. With food and drink, someone to support you, and no need to pay anything, life is pretty good.

But why is he not a human being? He is optimistic, but the premise is that he is a human being.

How could this skinny animal's body contain such an optimistic heart?

Woo woo, I buried my head and pretended crying for a few seconds, then raised my head to look at the sky, oh my God!

Over the past twenty years, Duofu believes that he has lived a diligent and hard life and studied hard. Although his grades are not ideal, he has not done anything harmful to others.

Why did such a terrible and unfortunate thing happen to me?

The two fat paws wiped the fox's eyes, which were tearless.

God! As long as you give me a golden thigh next time, let him eat and drink well, and have someone to serve him, he will forgive your unwise behavior this time and let him be reborn as a dog.

"Everyone, please pay attention and be more careful. Especially those pet dogs, please take care of them carefully."

A burst of Manchu language came to his ears, and Duofu understood what it meant. It said that the queen was very likely to choose the puppy.

Duofu also has the legendary golden finger. As a puppy, he can actually understand Manchu, a language other than Chinese and English.

Although it has no other use except understanding speech, but at least it still has one thing. As a time traveler, there is still a chicken-rib-like benefit, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. This is it.

Take the present for example, Duofu heard a useful piece of news.

The so-called imperial concubine is likely to choose a dog as a pet.

That doesn't mean he has a good chance. He glanced around at the other dogs in the garden, and it seemed that none of them was as cute, good-looking, smart, and spiritual as he was.

The little head was still nodding, mostly in agreement with what he was thinking. Yes, he looked down at his white fur.

A chubby little body, round eyes, two pointed little ears, and a plump tail. At first glance, he is the type that ladies would like.

After walking around the cage twice, he sat on the ground and looked outside. The eunuchs were working hurriedly, their feet moving fast.

Duofu wagged his tail involuntarily. How could he stand out from the crowd and become the most handsome guy among all the competitors?

Duofu must think carefully about this. This is related to his future life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and physical and mental health.

As a group of eunuchs in the garden were busy, it was noon in the blink of an eye. It was time to have lunch. Duofu looked at the eunuchs walking outside.

Where is his lunch? They couldn't have been too busy to remember it. He is still a puppy and has only been out of the cage for a month. How can he not eat?

Duofu was just about to shout a few times to remind the eunuchs outside that it was time to eat, when he saw a eunuch coming in with his lunch.

There are many small animals in the garden that have not yet been weaned. Duofu is one of them. He is looking at a small plate filled with hot milk. It tastes like goat's milk and has a strong sheep smell.

But it tasted pretty good. Maybe it was because I was starving. I remembered that when I first came to this place, I couldn’t accept the fact that I was reborn as a dog, so I planned to become anorexic and commit suicide.

Maybe I could be reborn, but I was too naive at that time and thought I could starve to death if I didn't eat. But the facts slapped Duofu's little face hard.

Being hungry is so painful, it is almost a hundred times more painful than death. I don’t know if it’s because of the body change, but this little puppy really can’t stand hunger.

He had just missed two meals and his whole body was aching, especially in his abdomen. It felt like someone had rolled up his intestines several times. It was so painful.

If you want to die, you can't choose to starve to death. As the saying goes, you need to have a full meal before you die. How can you do that?

Starving ghost.

Moreover, if Duofu starved to death, he might even become a starving dog. It’s sad to think about it.

Woo woo woo, come on, let’s eat first and stop thinking about this.

Duofu's whole face was immersed in the plate. He drank it with his little mouth and licked it with his little tongue. In the blink of an eye, half of the goat milk in the plate was gone.

While drinking it, I wondered why goat milk tasted so good. Why didn't I notice it before? Could it be that I had become a puppy and my taste buds had changed? Or maybe it was because I had grown into a puppy.

They drank the milk sent from the garden's canteen. The milk was in a bucket, and every eunuch who was taking care of the unweaned animals would line up to pour a bowl of milk and place it in front of the animals they were caring for.

If Duofu is chosen by the imperial concubine, his food quality will definitely improve. Maybe there will be a special small kitchen to cook for him. It's a wonderful thought.

It must be many times more delicious than the one in this big cafeteria. Even the goat milk in the cafeteria tastes so good. For this meal, Duofu also tried to stand out.

Let the imperial concubine fall in love with him at first sight, and live a life of luxury from then on. Yeah, that makes sense.

I licked the plate twice more, and there was no more goat milk in it. I felt that my stomach was about 80% full. I wanted more!

Duofu was determined to behave well. He raised his head and watched reluctantly as the eunuch took away his bowl.

In order to live a better life, to eat well, and to live to the peak of his life, Duofu will also work hard, as long as he is chosen.

Whatever you want, you can have it. When I think of this, my whole body gets excited and my little tail wags rapidly.

Duofu was so absorbed in his thoughts that he did not notice that the eunuchs in the garden had all fallen silent following a sharp shout.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived, the Fourth Prince has arrived"

Duofu was so frightened that he forgot to wag his tail.

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"The servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty live a thousand years. The servants pay their respects to the Fourth Prince. May the Fourth Prince be blessed with good fortune."

Then I saw a large group of eunuchs and palace maids walking in, escorting a young woman dressed in imperial concubine's clothes.

She was wearing a light green shirt embroidered with magnolias, a long, ground-length embroidered cheongsam with a pattern of ancient butterflies and clouds, and a peony-shaped gauze with a tulle pattern. Her hair was in a bun, and she wore a variety of pearl hairpins.

Her face is as charming as the moon, her eyes are bright and charming, and she is a woman with a graceful and noble temperament, but also a little bit of pampered.

1Beside her was a boy of five or six years old who was wearing light blue clothes.

The boy has half bald head in front and a small braid in the back. This is the typical hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty, the rat tail. It is really ugly.

Forget it, he has turned into a dog and there is no good-looking hairstyle for him. Let him eat first.

Although the hairstyle is ugly, it still cannot hide the cuteness of the little boy. He is white, chubby, and chubby, with a pair of big almond-shaped eyes, a small and delicate nose, and a cherry-like mouth. He is a very cute little boy.
