There's A Beauty

Youshu was still worried about how to break the magic spell, but after meeting the master, she was not in a hurry.As long as he could be with his master, he would be willing to become a dog. If he regained his human body, he might not have the encounter he has now, and it would be impossible to get along day and night. If he wanted to enter the palace, he might have to become a eunuch.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince live in the Shuangxue Palace. Because the Seventh Prince is not good at walking and usually needs many palace people to take care of him, he lives in the most spacious main courtyard, while the Eighth Prince lives in the side hall.The two brothers seem to have a harmonious relationship on the surface, but in fact they rarely communicate.

The seventh prince asked for a basin of warm water as soon as he returned to the palace, and was going to bathe the puppy himself. He was worried that he would hurt it if he did not do it right, so he specially asked for a eunuch from the cat and dog workshop, who would be responsible for taking care of the puppy's trivial matters from now on.Youshu lay on her back between her master's legs, with her four little paws raised towards the sky, revealing her soft and round belly, whimpering and moaning.

The Seventh Prince was flustered by its wet and bright round pupils, and said in a trembling voice, "It, what's wrong with it? Are you uncomfortable?"

The little eunuch adjusted the water temperature and said with a smile, "It is full, let you rub its stomach. The abdomen is the vital point of small animals, and they are usually well protected. If they lie on their backs and show their bellies to you, they will be fine." It means that they have accepted you wholeheartedly and are expressing their attachment to you. Your Highness really has a destiny with this Zangshou dog, and they got close so quickly."

"Really." The seventh prince didn't show his face, but his ears gradually turned red. He stretched out his hand to rub the puppy's belly, fascinated by the fluffy and soft touch, and soon enjoyed it.

Youshu liked to hang around her master when she was still a human, let alone a dog?He longed for his master's touch and hug, as if it was an innate instinct. Seeing that he started to rub his belly, his mouth was itchy, and he gently grinded his master's fingertips with his undeveloped baby teeth. Let out a humming hum.

Goosebumps immediately appeared on the back of the Seventh Prince's hand, but it was not because of disgust, but because of joy, feeling that his cold heart had melted into a puddle of water at the puppy's cute behavior.

"It's still young and won't bite anyone. What if it grows up in the future? Will it hurt His Highness? Look, it's biting His Highness's finger." The maid who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

The joyful expression of the Seventh Prince instantly subsided, but the little eunuch smiled silly, "Auntie, you are worrying too much. The reason why the Zangxiu dog is called Zangxiu dog is because it comes from Uzang; It will never grow up, and can be tucked into the sleeves of the owner anytime, anywhere. This Zangshou dog will be so long when it grows up, how can it hurt people?" He raised his hands and gestured for a length.

"Can it only grow to the size of a palm? It's true that this servant is worrying too much. This servant has never seen a Zangxiu dog before, so how could she know this, and she just opened her mouth rashly. Please forgive me, Your Highness." The maid explained in a low voice.

The seventh prince didn't respond, just picked up the puppy, and said softly, "It's time to take a bath, are you afraid of water?"

Youshu was very dirty, and she wanted to wash up a long time ago, so she barked twice.With outsiders around, he wouldn't act too smart, lest he be regarded as a monster.

"It seems that he is not afraid of water." The seventh prince actually understood, and slowly put the puppy into the copper basin, supported its abdomen with one hand, and gently rubbed its fur with the other hand. Beads off its nose and eyelids.

Youshu had never been served by her master before, it felt very fresh and interesting, she barked and scratched the water with her four paws.After getting smaller, the objects in sight are quite different from usual, just like this copper basin, which doesn't look big, but after going down it is like a swimming pool. You can play butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle at will.

"It can swim at such a young age, it's amazing." The Seventh Prince slowly let go of the puppy, but kept his hands above its head to prevent accidents.He was fascinated by the puppy's changing swimming styles, and his cold and dead heart gradually became warm, and then filled with countless joys.

The little eunuch flattered, "Dogs can swim, it's innate. But this little master is only four months old, but it's really rare to be able to swim so well."

"It's very smart, and it's round-headed and very cute. Have you ever seen a puppy cuter than it?" The Seventh Prince's face was full of pride, but also vaguely stern, if the other party The answer is yes, he will be furious.His attitude towards puppies is not like pets, but more like his own children, and he protects his shortcomings tightly.

The little eunuch was very savvy, and quickly shook his head and said that he had never seen a more beautiful and cute puppy than it, not to mention in Dayan, even in the whole world, it is the best that is rare in the world.

Only then was the seventh prince satisfied. Seeing the puppy swimming towards him wagging its tail, he quickly reached out to hug him, and ordered the maid to immediately take blankets, combs, etc., and set up a few more braziers.Youshu obediently let her master play with her, raised her head when she asked, raised her claws when she raised her claws, and even looked at the gap to bite her master a few times, very lightly, but she liked to hold his fingertips tightly.

"Is this still not weaned?" The Seventh Prince couldn't bear to pull out his finger, so he could only smile helplessly.

After the hair was dried, Youshu felt that she had become extremely fluffy, and she walked with the wind, as if she could float into the sky.In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, he is completely a round snowball, with two black eyes, a pink nose tip, and a small mouth. Pick up the puppy and cover his face to hide his overly enthusiastic expression.

The master's breath kept blowing to his navel, which made Youshu feel uncomfortable. He hugged the master's big head and patted it while humming softly. He felt that the master began to press his nose against his belly, and he struggled quickly.

"Little things are ticklish." The Seventh Prince raised his face and said firmly, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy.

"This servant doesn't know that every dog ​​has its own personality, and the owner needs to explore it slowly." The little eunuch secretly wrote down the matter, and as if thinking of something, he hastily added, "Your Highness, if you are worried about the puppy's mess?" , you can give it to the slave to train for a few days, and the slave can teach it to use the Gong barrel by itself."

"It has a special Gong barrel? Show it to me." The Seventh Prince's eyes sparkled, obviously very interested.

It was only then that Youshu realized that after becoming a puppy, she would lose her human rights. Not only did the master take care of the bathing, but he also had to take care of the urination and defecation. Thinking about that scene, I was so ashamed!He lifted his front paws to cover his eyes, feeling absolutely hopeless.

The Seventh Prince held his pink paw in his hand, and said with a smile, "It understands what I'm talking about, it's really smart!"

The little eunuch and a group of maids agreed repeatedly, but in fact they thought it was just the illusion of His Highness the Seventh Prince. How could a puppy understand such complicated words unless he became a master.The little eunuch quickly brought a low pail with a layer of gold mesh on top and fine sand on the bottom, which had a unique shape; there was also a kennel made of fine flannel and cotton.

"I don't want the kennel. It sleeps with me at night. The Gong bucket is placed next to my Gong bucket. I teach it myself. It's nothing for you here. Go down first." The Seventh Prince waved his hand lightly.

The little eunuch was planning to flex his muscles, but seeing His Royal Highness doing it himself, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, so he slumped down.But the palace lady refused to leave, and reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is your usual study time, why don't you let Xiao Shunzi take the puppy with you?"

"You don't need to ask about my palace's affairs." The Seventh Prince said plainly.

The maid had no choice but to lead the crowd to leave.Seeing that they didn't want to push the master to the desk or put him on the bed, Youshu suddenly became angry, and crawled onto the master's shoulder in twos and barks, trying to call him back.

"Stop shouting, they won't come back." The cold voice in the Seventh Prince's eyes receded, and instead he showed a sense of warmth. He tilted his head and kissed its small mouth, and comforted him, "I'm not the cripple you imagined. I don't have servants to serve me." You can’t do anything.” Hua Luo rested his hands on the wheels and slowly moved towards the desk.

Wheelchairs are made of wood, and no matter how exquisitely designed they are, they will inevitably be a bit bulky.Master is only twelve or thirteen years old this year, right?But he can walk alone with a wheelchair. How long has he been practicing?What the hell were those taking care of him doing?Youshu was so distressed that she threw herself on her master's face and kissed and licked her. She only hated that she was petite and couldn't give him a hug, let alone help him.

The Seventh Prince accepted his kindness, and quickly hugged him to prevent him from falling off his shoulders. He pointed at the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "Don't be annoyed, it's not that they refuse to serve me, it's that I don't allow them to get close. Come on, let me tell you a story." listen."

He turned the wheelchair to the desk, picked out "The Analects of Confucius", thought it was too serious and changed it to "Shan Hai Jing", and began to tell the story of ancient mythical beasts, "The dog is like a dog, green, and cannibal from the beginning. It means Said, there is an animal called 蜪, which looks like a dog, is covered in blue, and eats people..." He paused slightly at this point, and then realized that such stories are not suitable for puppies, so he quickly covered its ears and said embarrassingly , "It's wrong, let's change it."

Realizing that the master treats herself like a baby, Youshu wanted to laugh, but then thought that he was so lonely, and her heart throbbed unavoidably.He took his master's thumb in his mouth, bit it lightly a few times to show comfort, and then tapped the next few pages with his little paw, making him jump and read.

"You still want to hear it? That's fine." The Seventh Prince didn't think the puppy was too smart at all.When he picked it up, he didn't treat it as a pet, but as his friend and partner, and he hoped that it would be as smart as possible.He picked out a few more interesting stories to tell, and even picked up a brush to draw pictures, doing his best.

After telling five or six stories, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dictionary next to him, and suggested enthusiastically, "You don't have a name yet, why don't I help you get one? You can't bark like a puppy." He pulled out the dictionary while talking, slowly Browse slowly.

Thinking of the temptress' granddaughter calling her "dog" one after another, Youshu felt angry, and hurriedly jumped onto the table, scratching the pages of the book with her front paws, expressing that she wanted to name herself.The Seventh Prince understood, and smiled, "Okay, I'll help you turn the page. If you see a word you like, you can press it with your paw?" In this way, he can estimate how smart the puppy is.

It can understand human language, and can read and write. Could it be a monster?The Seventh Prince shook his head and smiled secretly, thinking what if he was a monster?As long as it stays with me it's fine.

It took a long time for one person and one dog to find out the word "Youshu", and then took a pen to write it on the paper.The Seventh Prince chanted silently, his mood fluctuated, and he murmured, "Just two words make my heart surge. It seems that you should be called this name, and you have a lot of fate with me."

yes!We have been married for three generations!Youshu wanted to speak, but what she uttered was a series of barks, so she lowered her head and hummed resentfully.

The Seventh Prince smiled, picked it up, and kissed it mouth to mouth.Just at this moment, the grand maid came in with a bowl of steaming medicine, and said warmly, "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."

Youshu has studied Chinese and Western medicine, and her already keen sense of smell has been enhanced a hundred times after becoming a dog, and she immediately smelled something wrong with this bowl of medicine.When prescribing traditional Chinese medicine, one must pay attention to the "eighteen evils and eighteen fears". In layman's terms, many Chinese medicinal materials are mutually restraining and must be avoided in the same prescription.Youshu didn't know if the doctors of Dayan Kingdom understood this kind of common sense, but the imperial physician who prescribed the medicine for the master obviously committed a big taboo, and mixed several kinds of medicinal materials that are incompatible with each other. Although the toxicity is light, if taken all year round , it will cause physical weakness and organ failure.

The master was already poisoned, and it became more and more difficult to detect the tricks. When he finally died of exhaustion, who would doubt it?Youshu was angry and anxious, and when the maid came to the table, she rushed over, trying to overturn the medicine bowl.The Seventh Prince was already preventing the puppy from being scalded, and before it pounced, he picked it up in mid-air, hugged him tightly, his face turned pale with fright.

The palace maid was also taken aback, dropped the medicine bowl immediately, and backed away with a scream.Fortunately, the medicinal juice did not splash on anyone, but poured on the ground.

"Your Highness, are you burnt? This puppy is too naughty, you should return it. You are not in good health, and you will fall ill again after being tossed by it a few times." The eldest lady dodged the medicine on the ground Juice, knelt down to persuade.

"I don't need you to tell me what to do in this Palace. Clean up the place immediately, so as not to burn Youshu." The Seventh Prince ordered and carefully checked the puppy's body.

The maid hesitated to speak, but was forced to retreat by his sharp knife-like gaze, and had no choice but to go out and call for someone.Seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, Youshu immediately broke free from her master's embrace, jumped to the ground, pretended to lick the concoction, then staggered a few steps, and finally lay still with her belly and eyes rolled over.

His actions were very funny, which made the Seventh Prince chuckle again and again.

Youshu had no choice but to get up and perform again. This time she had a snack, and before pretending to be dead, she uttered a few mournful groans and stuck out her tongue halfway.

The seventh prince suddenly restrained his smile, his eyes were clouded.Youshu knew that he should have understood, so she hurried over and pawed at the hem of his clothes with her front paws, making a comforting sound of huh huh.

"Did it scare you? I'm sorry." His anger faded instantly, and he became full of tenderness. He picked up the puppy and patted it gently. He said in a low voice, "Is this bowl of medicine poisonous?"

Youshu nodded hurriedly.

The Seventh Prince fell silent, his eyes gradually went blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Trust the judgment of a puppy, and ordinary people will definitely think that he is crazy.But the problem is that Youshu is not an ordinary puppy. It is very smart. The Seventh Prince can even assert that it is smarter than most people. It is also loyal and single-minded to itself. If you don’t believe it, who can you trust? ?

When the master was silent, Youshu didn't dare to move, for fear of interrupting the other party's train of thought.He was also thinking about who the poisoner would be.It stands to reason that the master is already disabled, and he is not qualified to inherit the throne, so what's the point of attacking him?Who can benefit from it?

"It's the concubine mother." When these three light words fell into You Shu's ears, he was really stunned for a long time.

The seventh prince's eyes were deep, and he could not see any emotion at all. He lingered in Youshu's ear and said slowly, "It's the concubine mother. If I die, the eighth child is entitled to inherit the throne. She and the old man Eighth, probably the person in the world who doesn't want me to live, and this pair of snow palaces is completely under her control. If she wants me to live, I can live. If she wants me to die, I will live in the most suitable place. Node dies."

The inability of twins to succeed to the throne is the root of all evils, and even the so-called "received on behalf of the father" back then, now thinking about it, there are shadows of mothers and concubines everywhere.He was poisoned and paralyzed, the imperial concubine Bai Ling gave him to death, his mother's family was implicated by the nine clans, the eldest prince was demoted to a commoner, and the empress was grounded and fell out of favor. Grace never fades.

"No wonder my father hasn't come for a long time, I will be seriously ill, no wonder..." The seventh prince's voice became lower and lower, and his hands became tighter and tighter.

Youshu was in pain, but she was reluctant to struggle. She turned her head and gently licked the back of her master's bruised hand, with tears in her eyes.Everything the master suffered was because he gave up the position of Star King.He was supposed to be high and powerful; he was supposed to be the master of numbers and the king of kings, but now he has been reduced to a tool and a puppet in the hands of a vicious woman, and this woman is also his biological mother.

How sad and angry is he in his heart?But he couldn't show it at all, because everyone in Shuangxue Palace was Concubine Hui's eyeliner, and they watched him all the time, making him fall ill or even die at the right time.

This is not a palace, but a death row. The master doesn't even have the ability to go out alone, let alone protect himself!Youshu's heart ached, she hugged her master's palm and began to cry, the tears wet the down on her face, she looked extremely pitiful.

In the midst of despair and grief, there was still a little life that could cry for him, and the Seventh Prince's heart that had been cut by a steel knife healed immediately.He buried his face on Youshu's back and comforted him in a low voice, "Hey, don't cry. We'll be fine." Having said that, he couldn't think of a way out of the predicament for a while, and his only thought was: Fortunately, Youshu is so cute, if I die, others will definitely be willing to adopt it.

The son does not say anything about the father's mistakes, and it is the same if it is the mother.As a son, he suspected that his mother had poisoned him, and sued his father without conclusive evidence, what would his father think?Especially here is the royal family, which is completely different from ordinary families. There may be no warmth and love, but doubts and suspicions are indispensable.What's more, since Concubine Hui dared to poison, she must have set up a good plan. The final result may not involve her, but it is very likely to eradicate an enemy for her.

The Seventh Prince hated his own powerlessness, especially when he thought that one day in the future, Youshu would snuggle into another person's arms like he was snuggling up to him, and his heart began to throb.Why did he give Youshu to others to be raised?Why not live well and take care of it?

An extremely strong desire to survive rose from the bottom of his heart, and the seventh prince quickly cheered up.He raised Youshu to his lips to kiss, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"I'll protect you too!" Youshu whimpered back, hugging her master's handsome face with her fat and short front paws, which barely counted as a hug.

Just at this moment, the grand lady led the two eunuchs in, and ordered, "Wipe the concoction on the ground clean, and then burn some incense slices to smoke it." Finally, she presented a bowl of medicine with both hands, and said with concern, "Your Highness, The servant has boiled the medicine again, so drink it while it's hot."

How could Youshu let her succeed, and wanted to rush over, but was held tightly in the arms of the master, and could only bark full of hostility.

"Let's put it there, I'll drink it later." The Seventh Prince picked up the "Shan Hai Jing" and flipped through it, with no abnormal expression on his face.

His Highness has always been mature and prudent, never resisting taking medicine, the maid put down the bowl and went out without doubting him.The two eunuchs wiped off the concoction and lit the incense burner, and they all left together.The Seventh Prince picked up the bowl, but he didn't know where to pour it.Outside the window is the corridor, and the maids and eunuchs are constantly coming and going. If they find water stains on the ground and the strong smell of medicine, they will immediately wake up.Brush washers, floor-standing vases, pails, etc. are cleaned every day, and they found that the medicine juice must be reported, so they startled the snake.

The Seventh Prince put down the bowl, hating himself for being helpless.If he has a strong body, why is he here?Just now, she said she could take good care of Youshu, but now it seems like it's all a joke!His eyes were red, his fingertips were trembling, and his expression looked angry and depressed.

Youshu also began to hate herself for being a Tibetan-sleeved dog. If she turned into a Tibetan mastiff, she would have gone to Ganquan Palace and killed Concubine Hui to death.He turned around in a hurry, saw the suitcase in the corner, and suddenly had an idea.He barked at his master, then raised his paw and pointed to the box.

The Seventh Prince said with a tacit understanding, "Do you want to pour the medicine into your clothes?"

Youshu nodded, and was about to jump off her master's lap, but was caught back.The Seventh Prince turned the wheelchair and came to the suitcase, and took out a thicker black robe.Fortunately, he doesn't like to be served by palace people, and he can do all the trivial things by himself, so that the furniture in Shuangxue Hall is very low, so that he can reach it with his hands, otherwise he can only "call every day should not be done." , Calling the ground to be ineffective."

The two main pets poured the concoction into their robes. At first glance, they didn't notice anything strange, but the taste was a bit strange.But the Seventh Prince suffered from illness all the year round, and the smell of medicine wafted everywhere in the palace, so it didn't attract people's attention.Youshu raised her two front paws and danced wildly, then opened her mouth to grab a piece of clothes, and pretended to walk out the door.

The Seventh Prince had understood it a long time ago, but he pretended to be ignorant, and asked him to perform it several times. He waited until his head was knotted, rolled around on the ground, and groaned before he suppressed his smile, "Are you asking me to put it on?" Clothes bunched up so you can take them out at night and throw them away?"

Youshu jumped up with her belly turned, and nodded frantically.

The Seventh Prince pressed his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and asked, "Where are you going to throw it? Do you know the way?"

Youshu lay on the floor like a turtle, paddled her limbs, and made a swimming motion.

"You want to throw it in the lotus pond behind Shuangxue Temple? But the question is, you are so small, can you move this bag of clothes?"

Youshu raised one of her front paws and patted her chest to show that she was strong.His legs became shorter, and his running speed was greatly affected, but his strength was still there.The Seventh Prince was frequently amused by his cute movements, but he couldn't hurt his self-esteem by laughing face to face, so he had to ball up his clothes, fasten them tightly, and hand them to his mouth to try.

A coat turned out to be taller than herself after it was folded. Youshu could move it, but she couldn't pick it up at all.The Seventh Prince laughed secretly, and waited until he was too tired to stick out his tongue before he hid his clothes in the bottom of the bed, and said with a smile, "Don't bother you, I will put the clothes in the bookcase tomorrow, take them to the study room together, and find a chance to throw them in." In the lake." There is an artificial lake near the upper study room, which is much larger than the lotus pond in Shuangxue Temple. The medicine juice will dissipate after the clothes are soaked in the water for a while, so it's okay to be found.

Only then did Youshu heave a sigh of relief, she bit her clothes as if venting her anger, and tore her head from side to side, causing the Seventh Prince to chuckle.
