Dressed as a palace cat butler

The sky suddenly broke, and the orange-gold sunlight slowly lifted from the sky on the half of the imperial city, and then slanted to the rockery at the corner of Daming Palace.

"What is your father-in-law looking for?" Cao Silang lowered his head slightly, looking respectful.

Yang Songyuan smiled at him: "Congratulations to Minghe first—your chance for revenge has finally come."

Cao Silang was taken aback for a moment, but then he showed a bit of joy, then he raised his head and said, "Please give me your advice, father-in-law."

"This is a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds. The queen mother asked the Ye family to choose one between you and Feng Ling. Knowing that you are eager to take revenge, the Ye family chose you. You must not let the Ye family down." After finishing speaking, he lightly He patted Cao Silang on the shoulder lightly.

Cao Silang felt a little excited: "Elder-in-law, let's talk."

"That's how it happened. That day, the cat came to our Qingning Palace with Shengjia to say hello, but who would have thought that it had a quarrel with our dog master, and made a lot of noise, which gave the Queen Mother a headache," said here , the smile on his face cooled down, "But how can there be any reason to let the beast be so arrogant?"

Cao Silang clenched his fists tightly, and a bit of anger was released in his eyes, but it was not for the empress dowager whom he was loyal to, but for his poor little brother, his dearest Shuang'er.

Before entering the palace, A Niang clearly told him to protect Shuang'er.

But he did, he did.

"So our empress dowager means..." Yang Songyuan suddenly lowered his voice, "Just make an accident and let the little cat go down to accompany the late emperor as soon as possible."

"Minghe," Yang Songyuan said again, "you have always been a smart boy, you can do such a simple thing, right?"

Although Cao Silang knew in his heart that something was wrong, under pressure, he still nodded with his lips pursed.

Yang Songyuan rubbed the top of his hair, and said softly: "Then don't worry, do things cleanly, the Queen Mother and Zha's family will always try their best to protect you, but if things come to light, you just have to make mistakes." You all agree, just say that it is for revenge for the younger brother, if you say something that should not be said, your family of six, even the Queen Mother, will not be able to protect you."

After speaking, he glanced at Cao Silang's expression calmly: "The queen mother still needs to take care of her family, and her family will not stay here for long."

Cao Silang had calmed down at this time, and said to Yang Songyuan with a warm face and a cold heart: "Eunuch, go slowly."

Before leaving, Yang Songyuan smiled at him again: "Good boy."

After he left, Cao Silang leaned against the jagged rockery, those hard bumps made his back hurt, but he acted like nothing happened.

He is not a fool, of course he can hear the extra meaning in Yang Songyuan's words before he left.

Shuang'er is now the royal cat who is receiving the favor of the imperial cat, regardless of the difficulty of seducing it, this matter is very difficult to do cleanly, so if Feng Ling is to do it, it is inevitable that the Queen Mother will be involved.

But he is different, he and Shuang'er had a hatred for killing their brother.

Even if the matter is revealed at that time, the queen mother can still push it away. As for his family... he will be dead by then, how will he know what will happen to his family?It all depends on whether the Queen Mother has a conscience or not.

But if he refused to do it, it would be easy for the queen mother to kill his parents, brothers and sisters, so he really had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

After Cao Minghe left, Feng Ling, who was hiding in the dark, slowly came out.

He had just listened to most of Yang Cao's conversation, but now his heart was beating fast, and it was really hard for him to control the anger and jealousy in his heart. Ever since Cao Minghe was called away alone, he felt something was wrong.

Feng Ling didn't understand why Yang Songyuan wanted to promote Cao Minghe instead of him?How could he be worse than Cao Minghe?Such an important task, but only told him to one person!

If this matter is done by him, maybe Cao Minghe will win the Queen Mother's favor, get promoted, and everything will be smooth sailing from then on.

But why!Obviously they came together - no, he had to do this before Cao Minghe!

After the year, the weather gradually warmed up, but at the beginning of March, there was another spring cold, and there was a lot of spring snow in the imperial capital. It was so cold that Fang Tishuang didn't like to go out, and she didn't want to move. .

It's a pity that he still has to serve the imperial court diligently every day, which will kill the little cat. He pestered Wan'er to let her sew a small cloak, and he had to wrap himself tightly before he was willing to go on duty.

Pei Ye couldn't help feeling a little funny when he saw his cat uncle's attire. Obviously, the fluff on this kitten's body was long enough, but he still had to wear a fox fur cape to wrap the cat's ears tightly. Tight and airtight.

Recently, Fang Tishuang and Pei Ye became a little more familiar. After he knew that the emperor didn't want his cat's life, he naturally relaxed a lot. As soon as he entered the palace, he ran to the stove to keep warm instead of Report to the imperial court.

"This cat has become more and more courageous recently." Pei Ye took a mouthful of hot milk, there was no sense of reproach in his tone, Fang Tishuang could hear it, so he didn't intend to pay attention to what he said.

The emperor on the seat put down the porcelain cup, looked at the kitten for a moment, then turned his head and said to Qi Chunye, "Move it away, it's about to go into the stove..."

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch standing in the hall suddenly exclaimed: "Master Shuang'er!"

Pei Ye's eyes quickly looked there, and saw that the kitten thought it was getting too close to keep warm just now, but unfortunately, the kitten's face caused the fire in the stove to be ignited, if it wasn't for the eunuch With quick eyesight and quick hands, the rescue is timely, and it is uncertain how many hairs will be plucked.

The kitten that got into trouble was still stunned. Unfortunately, half of the twenty or so whiskers on the cat's face were torn off by the fire, and the hair around the nose was also covered with a layer of dust. It was drilled out of a coal mine, which is very funny.

When the kitten was brought to the imperial court, he still had the same bewildered look on his face, and with his unlucky look, he looked even more stupid.

Even Pei Ye, who was always indifferent, couldn't help twitching his mouth.

"Bring a bronze mirror here," Pei Ye said, "and let it see this unlucky appearance for itself."

The palace people quickly brought up a bronze mirror, and the little cat looked at the mirror and almost cried out.

He was very confident in his appearance at first, thinking that he could be regarded as a beautiful mascot in this palace as a cat, but the current appearance...is it disfigured?

Seeing this, Pei Ye suddenly smirked, and said to tease him: "Since I've become an ugly cat, I'm upset to see it alone, why don't I go to the Southern Imperial Garden and be with that lion."

Fang Tishuang was frightened to death, and hurriedly rubbed the pads of her front paws on her face, not sure if it was because of improper technique, but the cat's face became more and more dirty.

That's not right...the lion in the Southern Imperial Garden died not long ago, how could he accompany the lion?

By the time he realized that Pei Ye was teasing him, there was no white on the cat's face.

"Meow!" The stinky emperor teased me again!

Fang Tishuang glared at the emperor on the seat angrily, she really didn't understand, this man looked so handsome, why was his stomach full of bad water?

Pei Ye held his stomach and laughed for a long time.

Even the palace servants who have served in front of the imperial court for a long time - some palace servants have even followed Pei Ye since he was the crown prince. They have seen the emperor sneer, or the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but they have never seen him. When he smiled so freely.

Qi Chunye gave a look, and the palace servants came forward silently with a basin of hot water, wiped Fang Tishuang's face carefully, and then carefully cut off the scorched hair.

After a while, the whole cat looked brand new again, but it always looked like something was missing.

When the little cat turned around, Pei Ye had already stopped smiling, and the usual indifference returned to his face: "Cat, come here."

Although Fang Tishuang was still angry with him just now, she didn't dare to show the emperor's face, so as soon as he made a sound, the kitten passed by.

After a while, a palace maid suddenly came in, saying that it was General Su Jingsu who asked for an audience and asked for the emperor's will.

Pei Ye: "Please come in."

As soon as the word got out, Su Jing quickly led two colleagues and escorted three eunuchs in together.

"Your Majesty," Su Jing said, "the palace must have been investigated, but these three lost their new boots and still can't tell why."

Pei Ye's eyes fell, and seeing that the three of them were not very dignified, they had no similarities with that Fang Tishuang, so they stopped looking at them.

And the one who looked down with him was the kitten in his arms. After seeing one of them, his pupils shrank suddenly - the person kneeling in the middle of his head was Ze Huan!

By the way, the boots he was wearing that day were bought by Wan'er from Ze Huan, he forgot!

Without exception, the three of them lowered their heads, looking trembling.

Pei Ye didn't speak, Su Jing spoke for him: "Three father-in-laws, now that they have arrived at the imperial court, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

The three of them didn't know that if they didn't have a pair of new boots, how could they have committed a serious crime of going to meet the emperor?Everyone was so frightened that they shrugged their heads and dared not speak out.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and when the three of them relaxed their vigilance a little, Qi Chunye, who was standing above him, waved his whisk and said sharply, "Speak!"

The three of them were taken aback by the sudden surprise, but fortunately they were kneeling, otherwise their legs would have weakened and they would have collapsed on the ground.

"My servant said, this servant said," one eunuch couldn't hold on anymore, with tears in his eyes, "The servant's family was poor, and his mother was seriously ill before last year, so all the pawns in the family were pawned. The money for buying medicine is a bottomless pit, so this servant has the idea of ​​entrusting people to take things out of the palace and exchange them for money to buy medicine, but this servant has no choice..."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed fiercely to his superior a few times: "I beg the sage to spare this servant girl this time."

Pei slightly raised his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Stop knocking, making noise—if you verify it clearly and it is not different from what you said, Gu will not blame you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the other person also hurriedly said: "Saint, the servant is the same as him. All the things are taken out of the palace together. There are more than a dozen people in the servant's family. Last year's harvest was not good. This year is really sad. ..."

Pei Ye didn't speak, just stared at him from a distance, until he stared at the man until his scalp became numb and his limbs trembled slightly, then he finally opened his mouth: "Really?"

"It's true..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qi Chunye who was beside the emperor say: "Don't just gamble in private and lose all the monthly rules. If it is found out that this is the case, it will be difficult to say how many boards you will suffer."

Compared with No.1, this person's eyes are obviously less sincere. Qi Chunye has been in this palace for a long time, and he can tell at a glance whether these young eunuchs are telling the truth or lying.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me," he suddenly slapped himself harshly, and then said bravely, "The new boots... indeed, I let my servant exchange money for a gamble. This servant deserves to die, but this servant didn't intend to deceive His Majesty." Yes, the servant girl was really scared for a moment..."

Pei Ye's eyes were calm, and he still said indifferently: "If what you said is true, I will go to the Criminal Division to get ten boards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He lowered his head, secretly glad that he had saved his life.

In the end, Pei Ye's eyes fell on the third person along with the little cat. Ze Huan didn't dare to look up, his heartbeat was about to burst out of his throat, and the experience of the little cat in the hall was really the same as that of the third person. He wasn't much worse.
