Dressed as a palace cat butler

Chapter 43 "Why did you let it escape?"

After this matter was settled, one person and one cat lived in peace for several days.

Xiaomao'er misses elder brother in his heart, but he has never seen him in front of the imperial court. Occasionally, he has time to go around the Daming Palace, and he has never seen Cao Si.

Fang Tishuang didn't take it too seriously at first, but one day he suddenly remembered what Wan'er said, she said that when Feng Ling, who had hurt him, was carried out, she was covered in blood, as if she said something about him He died that night.

Little Mao'er was terrified. It's true that Pei Ye treats him very well on weekdays, but to other people... that's not necessarily the case.

Not to mention that his elder brother seems to have a relationship with Qingning Palace. Although he is ignorant of the grievances and grievances, he can also feel the open and dark exchanges between the emperor and the queen mother.

Fang Tishuang was lying on the tufted cattail with her paws on her chin, with a troubled look on her face. He was very afraid that his elder brother would be dealt with quietly by Pei, but he was so stupid that he didn't know anything.

As usual, the emperor was going to the Qingning Palace to greet the Queen Mother this morning, and there was no one else in the main hall at the moment, and the little cat was bored, so he lay down on the tuanpu and meditated in a daze.

He was in a trance, but was suddenly disturbed by a strange movement. He raised his eyes subconsciously, only to see that the birdcage hanging on the top was shaking slightly, and the parrot inside sneaked out its head.

The little cat was startled, and the whole cat immediately stood up from the tuanpu.

The bird cage is usually locked very well, not to mention the parrot, even a kitten can't be opened easily, it must be that the palace man was careless when feeding, and didn't lock the bird cage properly, then The bird was clever, and sneakily pushed the cage door open.

"Meow!" Seeing that it was about to run away, the kitten pounced on it with all its strength, trying to slap it back into the cage.

However, the bird was also very clever, and dodged it in a flash, then imitated the human tone and laughed a few times, mocking the kitten and saying: "Idiot, idiot!"

Fang Tishuang was so angry that she jumped onto the table, and then flew around vigorously, trying to catch the bad-billed parrot hovering in the air.

Unexpectedly, the bird didn't catch it. Instead, it accidentally kicked and knocked down the pen holder memorial on Pei Ye's desk. Brushes of different sizes scattered all over the floor.

The little cat was taken aback for a moment, and at the same time, the cunning parrot suddenly flew towards the entrance of the hall without looking back, leaving Fang Tishuang squatting on the table with a blank mind.

Not far from the door, the eunuch who brought the kitten's lunch almost bumped into the escaped bird. He screamed and avoided, and then hurriedly called the other palace servants: "Oops, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! That parrot has escaped!"

The palace people rushed from all over the place in a hurry, before they could enter the palace and saw the mess, they heard footsteps outside.

Pei Ye slowly entered the courtyard under the eyes of all the palace people, and he quickly sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

The eunuch who was still holding the kitten for lunch knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, that parrot just flew... flew away."

"It's fine." Pei Ye's expression was not good, but his tone was still unhurried, but he subconsciously quickened his pace, "Why did you let him escape?"

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he saw a mess on the floor beside the table, and the culprit, the kitten, was facing away from him in front of the mess, as if he could not see the mess scattered everywhere on the ground. Brushes and bookcases.

Pei Ye didn't speak, but just glanced at the kitten indifferently, then slowly returned to the dragon chair and sat down.

Fang Tishuang felt that the atmosphere was too heavy, so she quietly raised her head and took a peek at Pei Ye, but saw that he was not looking at her.

A thought suddenly came to his mind—it's over, he might have gotten into a catastrophe this time.

Because Pei Ye seemed to be really angry, not the usual ordinary kind of anger, the little cat was inexplicably scared, so he plucked up his courage and gave a soft "meow" tentatively.

But after the meow, he still didn't get a response, and he was in a panic, so he started to use his claws to pick up the scattered brushes, trying to pick them up and put them back on the table.

It's a pity that the cat's claws are so useless, they are only useful when scratching people and fluttering butterflies, but at this time, they can't afford to pick up a pen.

He didn't dare to put it in his mouth, for fear that Pei Ye would dislike it.

At this moment Pei Ye finally spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and called calmly: "Chun Ye."

The little cat immediately looked up at him.

But the emperor didn't even look at him, he opened his mouth this time, and then his face sank again and he didn't speak.

He just opened his mouth to call for people, but he didn't say what to do. Fortunately, Qi Chunye had served him for a long time, and he understood the emperor's heart very well, so he hurriedly ordered several palace servants to come forward and clean up the mess in the place.

The little cat squatted beside her with her hands in her hands, like a child who made a mistake, with a look of confusion on her face.

He knew that he had gotten into trouble again, but it was understandable for Pei Ye to scold him and punish him, but he kept silent like this, and Little Mao'er was really scared.

The atmosphere was stalemate for a long time, finally, Qi Chunye bit the bullet and opened his mouth to break the extremely cold air: "Saint, it's time for lunch."

Pei Ye responded coldly, and then the palace people waiting outside put the lunch on the table one after another, and the kitten was also invited to eat at a small table set up for it.

The little cat was chewing the boiled chicken on the plate without any appetite, while secretly looking at the emperor. He seemed to be the same as usual. He also washed his hands and mouth first, and then began to eat with chopsticks.

Just didn't even look at him.

Little Mao'er was very wronged, and while eating the pancakes, he began to reflect on his mistakes in his heart. He is the kind of person who always examines himself first when he makes a mistake.

But after thinking about it, I only made a mistake of messing up the emperor's table case. He didn't let the bird go on purpose, and he didn't mess up the table case on purpose...

He was really blaming himself at the beginning, but as time went by, the more Xiao Maoer reflected, the more he felt that his mistakes were minor and could be forgiven. On the contrary, Pei Ye's attitude of indifference and indifference , is a big mistake.

So he felt more and more wronged, and at the same time, he began to faintly think that Pei Ye's behavior was really annoying. Since he ignored him, he was not willing to talk to him anymore!

The emperor was having trouble with the kitten, and the courtiers in the imperial court felt uncomfortable. Since the arrival of the kitten, Pei Ye has gained some popularity, and the atmosphere in the imperial court has improved a lot.

But now the two people and the cat suddenly ignored each other, and the atmosphere here was even worse than before. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it had dropped to freezing point.

Most of the palace people didn't understand why the one person and one cat who were clearly in harmony a few days ago suddenly couldn't deal with it. About this point, Qi Chunye knew a little more than them.

After Feng Ling's incident, although the emperor took this opportunity to vent his anger on the little cat, he also broke his face with the queen mother. Every time Qi Chunye followed Pei Ye to greet him, the queen mother always spoke in a strange way.

And Qi Chunye is in the inner court, although he is not very clear about the party struggle in the court, but he also knows that the influence of the Queen Mother's mother's family in the court is intricate.In addition, the Empress Dowager has been using the new emperor's young age to insist on listening to the government behind the curtain, dividing more than half of Pei Ye's imperial power.

She seemed to let Pei Ye decide everything, but in fact, the new emperor was like a trapped beast in iron shackles. The "freedom" and rights he got were only what she was allowed.

But in fact, if the emperor is willing to bear it, the two may live in peace, but Pei Ye is not born with the temperament that is willing to be tied up.

Qi Chunye sometimes suspects that the reason why he tortured the eunuch Feng Ling who tried to drown the kitten to half-death that day was not all to vent his anger for the little raccoon slave, but perhaps it was also for his own selfish desire to resist the queen mother.

Therefore, he took it for granted that the emperor was angered by the empress dowager that day, and he had to deal with the power of those foreign relatives in the court.

When I came back and saw the kitten let go of the parrot and messed up the table, I naturally wanted to vent my anger on it.

Right now, Pei Ye's anger has probably subsided, but the little cat didn't know what to think. The emperor ignored him for a few days, and it quickly developed the emperor's unilateral anger into a mutual conflict. cold war.

As the emperor, Pei Ye naturally couldn't bear to ask for peace with it, so this one person and one cat have been making trouble until now.

A few days later, an eunuch picked up the parrot's body on the road. The emperor knew about it, but he didn't say anything.

The little cat listened to it not far away, and his heart tightened again. He really wanted to rush up and explain to the emperor that he didn't let the parrot go away.

But he hesitated again and again, but still didn't move.

Qi Chunye, who was standing by Pei Ye's side, saw that his face was gloomy, so he comforted him: "The parrot was kept in that golden wire cage since childhood, and has long since lost its wildness. It’s not something a house sparrow that has lost its wildness can adapt to, and it is its fate if it goes like this.”

When Pei Ye heard this, his face remained motionless, but he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the kitten.

The little cat who was eavesdropping just now immediately looked away, pretending to be nonchalant, wagging its tail and went to play in the yard.

"Your Majesty," Qi Chunye suddenly said again after the kitten left, "yesterday, an internal official told the servant in private that he felt dizzy when he got up in the morning, and he couldn't remember when he was feeding the parrot. Did Qing lock the bird cage? He was afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so he didn't dare to say that day... The owner of the kitten must have seen the bird trying to escape, so he jumped on the desk to stop it .”

Pei Ye was not surprised when he heard this: "I know."

The bird cage is hung high, no matter how naughty the kitten is, it can't reach the door of the cage, how can it let the bird go?

Qi Chunye thought to himself, so what are you angry with him these days?

But he kept talking about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
