I am a cat in the palace

"I haven't seen you for so many years, but His Highness has grown a lot. This is almost taller than A Niang, but why doesn't Daxian always grow taller? Is he eating too little?" Mrs. Chen sat at the table and watched Rourou gobbled it up, and as always turned a blind eye to Rourou's behavior of biting off half an egg yolk and putting it in a small dish and pushing it in front of me. Instead, after staring at me and Rourou for a long time, he suddenly said this sentence with emotion, which almost hurt me Choked on that egg yolk.

Meow!I am slightly dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen's emotion.I was born with this head, even if I eat a pig, it will still be like this.

Besides, what's wrong with my petite figure?Don't you know that I can even slip through a mouse hole?I'm just a meow, wouldn't it be strange if I looked like a hunchback?

"Take a rest early after eating. Your Highness has to go to the Queen's to thank you tomorrow." Mrs. Chen lovingly caressed Rourou's hair that almost fell into the noodle bowl, and softly reminded Rourou that she would have to eat again tomorrow. important things to do.

"Yeah." Rourou chopsticks paused, and responded in a muffled voice. When Mrs. Chen saw that he had answered, she stopped talking, and instead smiled lightly: "If you can't eat, don't hold on. If you eat too much, you will accumulate." It’s hard to sleep at night.”

At night, Rourou really couldn't sleep, but I don't know if it was because he was really full.

Although he didn't sleep well at night, Rourou got up early the next morning, changed into a regular dress after breakfast, and went to Zining Palace to greet An Xieen.No matter what that person in Zining Palace has done before, and her current attitude towards Rourou, her identity has always been there, and she is even more of a "mother" in name, so it is certain that Rourou will return to the palace. I'm going to say hello.

If you go to Zining Palace, you will definitely not take me with you, because the whole palace knows that cats are forbidden there!Just because you don’t bring Rourou with you doesn’t mean I won’t go with you. When I think of an old ghost of unknown origin hiding in that palace all the time, and secretly discussing with Rourou all day long, I can’t rest assured that Rourou will let Rourou go. Going to Zining Palace alone, even if he followed Fulin and Adong all the way by his side, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Six years have passed, Zining Palace seems to be still the same, still luxurious and beautiful, even on the dead branches covered with white snow, there are many green leaves and flowers tied with silk, satin and silk, it looks like a lot of flowers from a distance The taste of brocade.

The queen has always been very reluctant to see Rourou, even if she personally summoned Rourou back to the palace this time, anyone with a discerning eye could understand her intentions at a glance.Zi Ning Palace is the queen's territory, here she doesn't need to put on any gestures, seeing Rourou coming, accepting his gift, and after a few casual sentences, she is about to send him out, the expression on her face obviously feels that Rourou is being treated. It's superfluous to look at it.

"Queen, it's rare for the third brother to come here. Let the minister take the third brother around. I went to Changyun Mountain in a hurry before and didn't have time to have a good chat with the third brother." The second prince who had been standing by the queen saw the queen asked Sending Rourou away, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, with a sincere look on his face, and at the same time turned his head to look at Rourou with a very gentle smile: "I just wonder what the third brother thinks?"

Frozen was slightly stunned, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the queen, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly the frowning queen suddenly said: "Alright, the emperor is only left by your blood, you should get closer Yes, you can take King Zhen to sit in your palace, if you need any tea, fruit and snacks, just go and order someone to prepare it."

Huh?I'm a little surprised that the queen actually agreed?However, since the queen had spoken, Rourou couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, so he could only follow the second prince to Yanghua Palace where he lived.

The Hall of Yanghua is very close to the Queen's residence. There is a palace wall between the two palaces, and you can reach it through a moon gate.However, I heard that the Second Prince's Prince's Mansion is already under construction, and he will be 16 years old next year. Since he is not crowned king, he will go out of the palace to live alone in a separate mansion. There are even rumors that the Empress has already started looking for a prince's concubine for him.However, these have nothing to do with Rourou for the time being, and I have no interest in inquiring about them. I only think about one thing now, keep an eye on this dangerous guy, and never let him hurt Rourou.

After entering the Hall of Yanghua, the second prince did not lead Rou Rou into the main hall, but sat down in a warm pavilion in the garden, far away, and when the door was opened, I saw a pot of burning pot inside. A sparkling brazier.

The Nuan Pavilion is very small, probably it was originally a pavilion in the yard, because the second prince was afraid of the cold, so it was temporarily rebuilt in winter.In such a small place, I really had no way to get in quietly, so I could only find a big tree nearby, use this as a way to jump up and lie on the top of the Nuan Pavilion.

The brazier in the Nuan Pavilion was burning vigorously, and it was so hot that I had to open the windows to breathe in. It was a bit difficult for me to lie on the tiled roof covered with ice and snow. Let’s stand. Well, my bell shrank from the ice and snow under my stomach, hey, thinking about how big my flesh is, is it easy for me to worry about it every day?

"Remember when you first entered school, the third brother seemed to be this tall?" came the second prince's very emotional voice from the warm pavilion.

"Xin was young at that time, but I don't remember it." Rourou pushed two five six, and it was the rhythm of the next sentence that immediately killed Tian.

The second prince coughed lightly, paused and said again: "Yes, the third and fourth brothers were still young at that time, who would have known that there was such an accident back then that the third brother lived in Changyun Temple for six years? Years, has the third brother suffered all these years?"

"Thank you, Second Emperor Brother, for your concern. Xin served the ancestors of the past generations in the Taimiao, and did not feel bitter."

Lying on the eaves and listening to the excellent performance of the second prince inside, I have to sigh with emotion, this guy really deserves to be an old ghost who has endured for hundreds of years, if I hadn't seen him suck blood and soul He looks evil, I'm afraid he will soon be deceived by his gentle and kind brother.

However, Rourou's performance surprised me a bit. Facing such a warm and gentle brother, Rourou was very careful. Even if the second prince put on an affectionate posture, he just stood still. , I don't mean to be more intimate, I have to say, Mr. Wei's teaching these years has not been in vain, this child is really not easy to deceive now.

After chatting for a while, the two brothers who didn't know each other very well finally reached the point where they had nothing to say with a passive attitude.

Rourou just walked away, and Mengdang entered the Nuan Pavilion, and closed the door tightly after entering.

"This coffin is so young, but oil and salt can't get in." The second prince said coldly when he saw Meng Dang go in.

"The servant looks at him, it's obviously shameless." Meng Dang is naturally humble.

The hair on my body was frozen on the roof, and I couldn't get up for a while, but I happened to hear Meng Dang's secret words with the second prince after he came in.These two uneasy and kind people dare to slander Rourou behind their backs. If I hadn't been frozen on the roof right now, I would have gone down and scratched you blind!Ouch, my hair, hissing, hurting~~

"He is too defensive. It seems that it is not easy to find a chance for him to be alone with my elder brother's face. I have to find another way. I really can't wait." The second prince had been deliberately gentle before. The voice line has been replaced by a cold and hard tone like ice balls, I can almost imagine the salivating appearance of the old guy in the second prince's shell, "By the way, the little eunuch I fell in love with last time Did you get it? I haven’t used this month’s medicine yet.”

"Yes, it has been arranged among the handymen. The Secretary of the Inner House has already found a way to cancel the file. If you want to use it, the servant will send it in for you tonight."

"Then send it in. It's the end of the year. I still have a lot of work to do, and my energy is exhausted. Naturally, I need to take care of it."

On the way back to Yongshan Palace, I kept thinking about that old ghost in my heart. Listening to him, his appetite is already amazing, but I remember that six years ago, he only ate chicken, duck and cats. Dogs and the like did not eat humans for the first time until the winter of the accident.

Unexpectedly, in just six years, it has reached the point where he will swallow a person in ten days. I can't help but feel a little anxious. With his appetite, this old ghost may not be easy to deal with.

If he hadn't been framed carelessly back then, he would have been forced to leave the palace with Rourou for many years, and he would not have become a tiger. Let this old ghost be free for many years, but it is a pity for those innocent people who fell into his belly .

I thought about it all the way, and unknowingly went astray, and when I looked up again, I found that I had already reached the gate of Jinglan Garden.I licked my nose, just right, I haven't been back for six years, now that I've come here, let's go say hello to my old friend first.

Besides, since I haven't been in the palace these few years, I don't know if there is anything new. Whether it's that old ghost or something else, maybe they can know something useful.

"Ouch! Your Majesty has returned to the palace!" Upon discovering that I had entered Jinglan Garden, Concubine Jin flew out like a butterfly for the first time, and then the sound of yelling resounded throughout the palace. "Sister Yuanfei, Sister Lian'er, come out quickly, Your Majesty is back!"

"Don't be so affectionate, okay? It's as if I'm really your man." I was pricked by Concubine Jin's coquettish voice so that the hairs on my tail exploded. I really feel that I can't enjoy this beauty. I'm just a cat. ah.

"Your Majesty, please stay safe." Concubine Yuan appeared, her injuries had obviously healed a lot, and her soul and body had stabilized.

"Don't mention it, it's been six years since I was cheated by others, I get angry just thinking about it."

"It's all dirty tricks from the harem. Fortunately, His Majesty and Third Highness are both safe."

"I was thrown in Changyun Mountain for six years, so it's still alright?"

"The concubine saw that His Majesty not only didn't lose weight, but also became rounder, presumably he's all right." Hearing Concubine Yuan's joke, I deeply rolled her eyes.

"How is your injury?"

"Thanks to His Majesty, it got better faster than expected, and there is nothing serious now."

"Did you pay attention to the second prince in the past few years?"

"He often came to see Yuelin in the first half of the year." Concubine Yuan should have expected that I would ask about the second prince, so I just mentioned it, and she told all the news about the second prince that they have noticed in the past few years .

"Especially on the [-]th of every month, he will come regularly. Every time the eunuch named Mengdang will bring a living person. At the beginning, most of them were handymen in the palace. Later, we see Then some people seemed to come in from outside, sucked up the blood, swallowed those living souls, the corpses were buried on the spot at first, and after two or three were buried, I don’t know what the eunuch named Mengdang got Sprinkle a little of the medicinal powder on it, and the corpse will melt down to the bones, and if it is covered with soil, there will be no trace left.

Presumably this kind of medicinal powder is easy to use, and the corpse will not leave any traces. The old ghost on the second prince's body has no scruples, so he doesn't come to Yuelin very much after that, but the eunuch named Mengdang still comes to the forest from time to time to bury some Something, probably the slag that was not powdered cleanly. "

"In these years, I have been waiting in Changyun Temple, and from time to time I will think of the old ghost on the second prince's body. Every time I think of that old ghost, I will flip forward to those old things. Come alone."

"Who?"

"A Taoist priest!"
