I am a cat in the palace

The opening of the mansion and the construction of the Yamen, and the festivities in the bridal chamber are all great events worth celebrating.The first time the Second Prince's Mansion entertained guests was such a grand wedding banquet after its completion, and the whole mansion became busy.

Mengdang greeted back and forth in the crowd as the chief manager of the second prince's mansion, and proudly enjoyed the feeling of being flattered and flattered. Although there were frequent situations that made him burnt out, but the kindness in his heart Satisfaction burned like wildfire in his chest.

Once upon a time, he, a hard laborer in Zining Palace who poured out Yexiang, could actually get the compliments of these high officials dressed in red and purple.

He has never been so glad that he dug out the black lacquered dead jade from the pit as he is now. Now he deeply believes that as long as he hugs the thigh of the ancestor of the Meng family, he will be a useless person in the future. It can also fly to the top and make its ancestors shine.

The second prince was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a gentle and decent smile on his face, sitting high above the main seat in the second prince's mansion, looking at the dignitaries below.

In a trance, he actually had a feeling of going back in time. He remembered that a long, long time ago, he also sat on the head of the table like this, and looked coldly at the flattering civil and military officials below.

It's just that he was young at that time, so he was so energetic and fearless, so he underestimated the world, thinking that with powerful magic techniques, he could manipulate everything in the palm of his hand, that's why he so easily Send yourself to a dead end.

The prince of Wei Guogong came over with a wine glass and wanted to have a drink with his nephew and talk a few private words, but found that the second prince was distracted, as if he hadn't seen him coming.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Seeing Uncle Guo's expression, the little eunuch standing aside hastily touched the second prince lightly, and then pulled the second prince out of those old memories of the past.

It's just that even though he regained his senses, the second prince still didn't seem to be interested, he didn't even pick up the cup in front of him, and the conversation with Duke Wei's son was hasty.

The prince of Wei Guogong sat back on his seat with some displeasure, looked at the second prince sitting on the upper seat, and twirled the wine glass in his hand for a long time, even when someone came to toast him later, he just toasted it intentionally In the end, the undrinked glass of wine was put back on the table.

Shang Xin hugged Daxian and sat under the second prince, not eating or drinking much, just playing with Daxian.

The fourth prince, who was supposed to sit at the top of his seat, was said to have broken a lot of bones, and one month was not enough for him to get out of bed, so he missed the second prince's wedding banquet and stayed in the palace to recuperate.

Right now, his first seat is the younger brother of the newlywed mother—Ming Xu, the sixth prince of Liang Guo.

Shang Xin’s table was very quiet, and there was no one in front of the sixth prince. An empty circle seemed to form naturally between the two of them, except for a few princes from aristocratic families who had a good relationship with Shang Xin who came to chat with Shang Xin. Some princes and ministers were not very happy to join them.

"His Royal Highness King Zhen."

Just when Shang Xin saw that she had sat for enough time, and thought that even if she left now, she would not be picked on by others, she suddenly heard Ming Xu, who had been a little embarrassed at the table next to her, call out to herself.

At first, he thought that there were too many people and he had heard it wrong, so he ignored it. It was not until he heard the second sound that he turned his head to look over, and found that it was the sixth prince of Liang Guo who looked like a girl and seemed a bit shy, calling him.

Daxian's ears are naturally good, but he still remembers what Prince Liang said last time, and he doesn't want to show any good looks to this so-called sixth prince of Liang who also raises cats.

"What's the matter, Your Highness the Sixth Prince?" Shang Xin responded lightly, and he didn't have much enthusiasm for the sixth prince.

Although it is said that Princess Liang is married to the second prince, there should be no war between Da Xia and Liang Guo for the time being, but he is a current prince and a foreign prince, especially a prince who wants to stay in Da Xia as a hostage. He was too close, and it was inevitable that he would lose his tongue. He was too lazy to cause such trouble.

Seeing Shang Xin's alienated expression, the sixth prince seemed a little embarrassed, but remembering what Prince Mingrui told him last night, he braced himself and smiled again: "Your Highness's cat is so cute, can you let me hug it? I also raise it." The cat is here, but he is timid and afraid of crowded places."

The sixth prince thought he had found a topic that would be easy to communicate with, but when Shang Xin heard it, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he withdrew his hands and stuffed the immortal into his clothes, revealing a pair of ears and a nose.

But in the eyes of the sixth prince, that movement was really skillful and swift, as if he was afraid that he would reach out to grab it.

The Sixth Prince's hand was stretched out in the air awkwardly, neither stretched nor retracted, he had to take it back embarrassingly for a long time.

But Shang Xin is full of thoughts, what is this sixth prince thinking?Does he know him well?Actually want to hug the Great Immortal, how can I do that?His Daxian has no clothes on now!Of course, wearing clothes is absolutely not allowed to be hugged by others.

Of course the sixth prince didn't know, in Shang Xin's eyes, Daxian was not just a cat-like squatting in his arms and licking his paws, but a naked cat-eared boy who got into bed with him.

Not to mention the completely unfamiliar Sixth Prince of Liang Guo, even Wei Yuer, who was specially transferred from the cat and dog shop to serve the Great Immortal, is now absolutely not allowed to hug the Great Immortal. It's about to explode.

When the sixth prince was embarrassed and didn't know how to continue talking, Prince Mingrui suddenly left the table, and he smiled at Shang Xin with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, Ming Xu has been spoiled in front of my mother, if you say If something is inappropriate, please don't care about it, His Royal Highness King Zhen."

"His Highness the Crown Prince spoke seriously. His Highness Six didn't say anything, but my cat is also afraid of life, so I can only disappoint His Highness Six."

"So I was talking about cats." Prince Mingrui chuckled again, "Ming Xu, like His Highness King Zhen, loves cats as much as his life. I have given a house, and I have asked craftsmen to build a cat garden in it these few days, if His Royal Highness Zhen Wang is free, you can go there to play."

Shang Xin smiled when she heard the words, but nodded politely without agreeing.

A hint of disappointment seemed to flash across Prince Mingrui's face, but it was only a flash.

He followed up and said: "The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. This time we also brought a nine-color unicorn lantern from Daliang. I wonder if His Highness King Zhen is interested in going to have a look?"

Both Daxia and Daliang are orthodox in the Central Plains, with similar customs and customs.

Every New Year, whether it is a city or a country, there will be lights and festoons, and a specific festival will be formed over time.The first day of the first lunar month is both New Year's Day at the beginning of the new year and the first day of the Lantern Festival, known as the Lantern Festival.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when the lantern festival is over, the households or merchants who will light up the lanterns will take out the best lanterns at the bottom of the box to light them. In the last days, the lantern king of the lantern festival will be selected. festival of lights.

Compared with the festivities when the Lantern Festival coincides with New Year's Day, the Lantern Festival is the busiest day of the Lantern Festival. Because it is necessary to select the Lantern King, the best lanterns will be hung up by lantern artists or dignitaries.

The colorful heads of the lantern kings in Xiadu's Lantern Festival are very precious. The lantern kings selected on the Lantern Festival will be sent to the palace. The artists who make the lanterns or the people who hang the lanterns can get a blessing inscribed by the emperor himself. His imperial pen was pasted on the gate, and all taxes and corvees were exempted in those years.

Therefore, whether it is for profit or fame, those lamp makers and wealthy nobles have racked their brains on this Lantern Festival, hoping to be a blockbuster and win the championship.

It is conceivable that with so many dignitaries participating and so many beautiful lanterns to see, how lively and interesting this Lantern Festival is.

Shang Xin originally planned to go, and he had already thought about it, and he wanted to take Daxian with him. He wanted to go with Daxian side by side, hand in hand, to watch the lantern together.

"I planned to go, but where is the lamp brought by His Royal Highness going to hang?"

Seeing that Shang Xin didn't refuse, Prince Mingrui immediately cheered up: "The lamp is too big to hang up. I've fixed a place, right in front of Chang Yang Restaurant."

Changyang Restaurant is a very famous restaurant on the inner city street. The three-story main building is very grand, and everyone in the capital knows it.

"Then Xiao Wang must go and have a look."

"Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness King Zhen for your support."

Shang Xin and Prince Mingrui chatted a few more words, then got up to bid farewell to the second prince, and prepared to leave.

"Is the emperor leaving now?" The second prince changed his gentle and indifferent appearance all day long, and when he saw Shang Xin coming to say goodbye to him, he immediately smiled, "It's so late, you still go back now, pointing Maybe the palace gate has already been keyed, why don't you just stay overnight at the imperial brother's mansion and go back tomorrow morning."

Shangxin and Daxian complained at the same time that if they stayed with you for one night, they might become human tomorrow morning and eat blood from your belly, whoever would be stupid would stay here.

"Thank you, Second Emperor, for your kindness. Tonight is the wedding night of Second Emperor's bridal chamber. As a younger brother, how dare you stay and disturb him. What's more, it's only the end of the unitary hour. If you go back now, you will be able to make it in time."

Shang Xin insisted on leaving, and the second prince had no choice but to watch the fat slip away from his mouth again.Just looking at Shang Xin's leaving back, the second prince showed a gloomy smile.

Shang Xin didn't know that the reason why Prince Mingrui specially invited him to watch the lantern was because when he invited the second prince earlier, the second prince specifically asked him to go with him.Of course, Prince Ming Rui would never say this in front of Shang Xin.

The night banquet at the second prince's mansion continued until after the third watch, but the second prince had already left the banquet early and returned to the back house. Tonight is his bridal chamber wedding night, even if it is just a show, he can't go back too late , in front of everyone in the Liang Kingdom, she left Princess Yasukuni alone in the backyard.

It's just that on the way back to the back house, the mood that was still good before became obviously a little gloomy.

Meng Dang restrained the arrogance and complacency of the new head of the prince's mansion with a wink, and carefully approached the second prince and asked in a low voice: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

"No." The second prince shook his sleeves impatiently, and Meng Dang hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to ask any more questions.

But just as he was worried, the second prince really had a problem with the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.

After removing the hijab for the bride, the second prince left the new house on the pretext of drinking too much and feeling unwell.

"This second prince of Xia Kingdom is really rude. How could we leave our princess alone on the wedding night?" The maid who married Princess Jingguo turned her head out of the new house when she saw that the second prince hadn't even had a drink. Just cried angrily.

On the contrary, Princess Jingguo seemed to have expected the reaction of the second prince, and there was no look of sadness and disappointment on her face: "He must be very unwilling to marry me to him because of a woman. Asking his family to give up the position of Nan Yun's coach, if it were me, I'm afraid I'd be full of resentment. It's just...he doesn't seem to understand Emperor Xia's intentions, so you don't have to worry too much. , as time goes on, it will get better."

Hearing her own princess consoling them in turn, the maids all showed shame.Seeing that the second prince probably won't come over tonight, she hurriedly washed and changed her princess' makeup. Since there were no wedding candles, it was better for the princess to wash up, sleep and have a good rest.

When Mengdang saw that the second prince entered the new house and came out within a quarter of an hour, his heart skipped a beat.

The second prince instructed him to change another room for him.

Naturally, the room was ready-made. After arriving in the room, everyone retreated, only the second prince and Meng Dang were left, but the second prince raised his hand and smashed a cup.

"After the Sunset Lantern Festival, I must get the soul of Zhiyang!"

Mengdang wondered why his patriarch refused to have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber. Although the Princess Liang he married made Wei Guogong's mansion very unhappy, but he married them all, and the patriarch and Wei Guogong's mansion didn't have any serious relationship. As for ignoring the bride because of Wei Guogong's affairs, not to mention that Princess Jingguo is also beautiful, and the little lady who is putting on a delicate face is not accepted, isn't it a pity?

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw the ancestor throwing a cup and throwing a bowl, and he felt that there must be something strange about it. Sure enough, under the constant cursing of the ancestor, he suddenly understood that although ghost possession can make the body move freely, it cannot. Made peace with women.

Inexplicably, Mengdang felt secretly happy in his heart, because he really understood how painful and humiliating it would be for a man without this ability.
