Dressed as a palace cat butler

Pei Ye sat there like a statue, and with the little cat's strength, he couldn't move him at all, so he had no choice but to jump down and tug at the hem of Qi Chunye's robe to the side.

Qi Chunye didn't dare to ignore him, so he quickly knelt down and asked, "Does the master want something?"

The little cat shook its head, then raised its paw and pointed at Pei Ye: "Meow meow!" He's sick!

How could Qi Chunye understand his cat language, so he could only guess wildly: "Do you want His Majesty to play with you?"

The little cat was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and hit him on the head, he quickly shook his head, and then began to dance and gesture at Qi Chunye.

He first raised one paw to his lips, and then pursed his mouth to blow. Unfortunately, it was difficult to pout the cat's mouth, so the kitten had to open its mouth wide, and then breathed on the paw, haha The cat's fur fluttered slightly.

Qi Chunye thought carefully for a while, and then guessed: "Blow? What are you going to blow about?"

The little cat shook its head angrily: "Meow!" No!

At the same time, Pei Ye glanced at him from a distance, and guessed casually, "It's the wind?"

The kitten nodded immediately, and then he began to perform the second action. He tried to hug himself with the cat's claws, and then fell down on the tuanpu, and began to tremble like a convulsion.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and hurriedly moved their eyes to the emperor above.

Pei Ye asked, "Cold?"

The little cat stopped, turned around and said, "Meow!" No!

Immediately afterwards, the little emperor guessed again and asked, "Han?"

The little cat quickly got up from the tuanpu, then nodded with its paws in its mouth.

Qi Chunye subconsciously connected these two words and muttered softly: "Fengchi?"

The kitten looked alive and kicking, obviously it didn't look like it was caught in the wind and cold, then it was only...

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at the person on the seat, the little emperor's eyes were slightly blue, his lips were pale, looking carefully, his eyes seemed to be tired, but he didn't feel any weakness at all.

So today Qi Chunye just felt that the little emperor didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't have any doubts.

This morning in the court hall, the marshals of the three dynasties who helped the Taizu Emperor|Emperor in the four battles and made great military achievements led the old ministry to jointly write a letter, saying that the new emperor is now in charge of his own affairs, and he wants to force the Queen Mother to return the half of the imperial power.

The Empress Dowager and her party naturally refused to follow, and moved out the late emperor's last edict, holding on to one sentence, saying that the late emperor wanted her to watch Pei Ye get married and start a business, but now the post is vacant, and the new emperor has not yet married, how can he start a business alone? ?

There was a lot of quarrel between the two parties in the court, which caused Pei Ye a headache. On one side was his mother in name, and on the other side was the grandparents he had to respect. He was in the way, and anyone who helped would be blamed.

After all, the old marshal was old, and the Queen Mother's mother's family Kou Dang all had sharp teeth and never spoke well, so the old marshal who was straightforward was so angry that he was short of breath on the spot, and suddenly pouted.

The court suddenly became a mess, Qi Chunye, as the emperor's personal servant, naturally took the lead to wipe the buttocks of these people.

He was also flustered, but he didn't feel anything strange about the emperor today.

Qi Chunye immediately sent the palace servants to invite the imperial physician, then bowed and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty really doesn't look very well today, why don't you go back to the bedroom to rest for a while?"

Pei Ye only felt a little tired this morning, but now that he came back from the morning, he found that his eyelids were burning. Since he got out of the Queen Mother's control, he seldom got sick again.

That's why even he himself didn't notice it today, thanks to the little cat who found it.

The emperor didn't hold back, he stood up, then looked down at the kitten, and said, "Follow the master and study hard, don't be lazy."

The little cat hurriedly followed him, then stretched out its paws to hold Pei Ye's boots tightly, meowing and chirping to ask him to take him away with him.

Pei Ye gave Cao Silang a wink, and Cao Silang immediately stepped forward and took the kitten away. The kitten struggled in his arms and meowed at Pei Ye's back. non-stop.

As soon as the emperor returned to his bedroom, he saw a palace servant rushing in from outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cui Ge is begging to see you."

Pei Ye had only half taken off his outer clothes, and when he heard that the teacher was coming, he asked the maids to put them on for him again, and then straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, before going to the main hall to welcome the guests.

As soon as the little emperor took his seat, he saw an old man with white hair rushing in from outside.

Pei Ye hurriedly got up to meet him again, but when he stood up, his eyes were dark for a while, and he stood for a long time before he recovered.

I saw that the old man was not polite, bowed to the little emperor, and then found a seat and sat down: "What's wrong with your majesty today? His face is so bad, the farce at the court meeting this morning must not be enough." Disturb Your Majesty's mind?"

Pei Ye suppressed the tiredness in his eyes, and then ordered Qi Chunye to serve a cup of hot tea to Mr. Cui Ge: "It's been cold and windy these days, I think I didn't really catch a cold, and I was sick to the teacher, so I sent him away." Chun Ye did it on his behalf, and he didn't mean to be negligent."

"Have you had the imperial physician come and see?" Cui Ge asked.

"I've already been summoned," Pei Ye said indifferently, "I haven't burned myself out yet, it's not a problem—teacher, please tell me."

After all, Cui Shanming is getting older, and his legs and feet are not as agile as before. The teacher and the student used to exchange letters when they had something to do. Since he came in person today, it must be for the matter of getting up in the morning.

"That old stubborn is too anxious," Cui Shanming sighed, "It's a pity that he devoted himself to the sake of the world, but in the end he did something stupid."

Pei Ye also understood what Cui Ge meant, he was afraid that the emperor would blame the old marshal for this.

Pei Ye said in a low voice: "Zou Aweng is a student and knows that someone must be fanning the flames in his ears. He is impatient, so he will inevitably be encouraged."

"If he makes such a fuss, His Majesty will not be able to bring up the matter of returning to the imperial power in a short period of time. He really did something bad with good intentions." Cui Shanming sighed again, "It's really hateful to be old. I didn't live like an old fairy. You're going to be old and confused."

Now that the foundation of the new emperor is not stable, but the old marshal untimely mentioned the matter of letting the empress dowager retreat to the harem, so the empress dowager naturally made use of the issue and asked for abdication.

"She wants you to establish the marriage first before she is willing to return the imperial power, but since ancient times, marriage has been a promise between parents and a matchmaker. How can this marriage be accomplished without her nodding?" Cui Shanming took a sip of tea, and then said in a deep voice, "Indeed At that time, she wanted to give the daughter of the Kou family to His Majesty, if His Majesty refused, she would have a reason to continue to dominate the imperial power, if she accepted, wouldn't half of the world still belong to their Kou Party?"

The emperor just felt that his eyelids were getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't even listen to what Cui Ge was saying, but he still reluctantly agreed a few times.

Cui Shanming saw that he was not in good condition, so he didn't ask him to talk more, and said to himself: "We must have let the Kou Party do it to us this time, Your Majesty should reflect on this, and this humble minister should also reflect on it."

Pei Ye nodded and said, "Students will always remember the teacher's teachings."

"Your Majesty, please rest." Cui Shanming paused, and then said, "When Your Majesty is better, remember to take time to visit that old fool, and don't hurt the old minister's heart."

The emperor agreed one by one.

When parting, Pei Ye ignored Cui Shanming's obstruction and sent the teacher to the soft sedan chair outside the hall.

Cui Shanming boarded the sedan chair, but suddenly lowered his eyes, and caught Pei's hand unexpectedly. His hand was broad and dry. In Pei's heart, Cui Shanming was far more like his grandfather than the late emperor.

"Before the late emperor died, he called the minister to the couch, and only asked the minister a word, saying that if Ah Ye is too useless to support Pei's family, what should the minister do?"

Pei Ye raised his eyes to meet his gaze: "What will you do?"

Cui Shanming smiled heartily, as if he had returned to the time when Lian won Sanyuan and first entered the officialdom: "If the way fails, you can float on the sea. 【Note】"

Pei Ye also smiled: "Teacher, go slowly."

"Your Majesty, take care."

Pei Ye knew that Cui Shanming was joking. If he had been a few decades earlier, he would have said such things when the late Emperor Tuogu was in charge, and he would have been able to do such things.

But he was already very old, his straight and upright back had collapsed at some point, his hair was still combed meticulously, but the curled hair was already completely white.

Pei Ye stared at his shrinking back in the rustling autumn wind, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart. The elder's journey was about to come to an end, but he was just beginning.

He and this elder who is also a teacher and a father don't know how many times they will see each other again.

"Saint, the imperial physician is already waiting in the bedroom." Qi Chunye carefully put on a cloak for the emperor, "It's windy outside, Your Majesty should go back to the room quickly."

At the same time, in the side hall.

The master taught him to read poems on the stage, and the little cat imitated his elder brother's appearance, flicking his head and meowing, but he always remembered the emperor on the other side.

He wanted to take the opportunity to escape several times, but he was either caught by Wan'er and elder brother, or he was frightened by his master with a ruler, so he had to wait until the time for release.

As soon as You Yin said to let the hall go, the kitten let out a cry, and then ran out of the door as if fleeing for his life, and flew towards the bedroom.

Today's sky is gloomy, and the candles in the sleeping hall are not lit, so it is a bit dim. The kitten entered the hall lightly, and then came to His Majesty's bedside with ease.

He leaped lightly and landed right next to Pei Ye, almost stepping on his fingers.

The person on the bed had his eyes closed tightly, a folded silk cloth was spread on his forehead, there was thin sweat on his temples, and his complexion was so pale that it almost turned transparent.

The kitten really wanted to call out, but was afraid of waking him up, so she lay down beside him silently, and buried her head in his palm.

He was flustered right now, he always felt that he snatched the quilt capriciously last night, which caused the emperor to suffer from the cold, and then developed a fever, and he always suspected that Pei Ye would die of illness because of it.

Fang Tishuang was afraid of being bullied by a bunch of boys in the village when she was a child, so she often stayed with a neighbor girl of the same age to pretend to be a housewife. Be a son.

But that little girl was dexterous, and she spoke softly and cutely, she would never bully him like those people, so she let her play with Fang Tishuang whatever she wanted.

Unfortunately, not long after, the girl died of illness.

At the beginning, he also suffered from the wind and cold, and the fever persisted for several days. A Niang accompanied him to visit the girl once, and saw that the original smart and beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of smog, and the person was also sick. I lost weight all of a sudden.

Before leaving, the girl woke up once, called Fang Tishuang over after calling the names of her relatives a few times, and said to him: "When I recover from illness, we will play together."

Fang Tishuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

However, that night, news of the little girl's death came.

Xiaomao'er was very afraid that Pei Ye would leave him suddenly like this. When he thought that the person in front of him might die, he wanted to cry.

When Pei Ye opened his eyes, he saw the kitten lying beside his hand, stealthily wiping tears on the brocade quilt. He stood up a little and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why, who bullied you? Still disobedient?" Was beaten by the master?"

The little cat shook his head, and walked forward slowly, intending to shove his head into his neck: "Meow meow?" Will you die?

Pei Ye reached out and rubbed his head, turned his face to the other side, and coughed twice: "Stay away from Gu."

The little cat didn't care, and continued to lean over stickily, and subconsciously stretched out its tongue to lick the thin sweat from his temples: "Meow meow~" I don't want you to die.

The emperor took him aside and explained softly: "I'm fine, the imperial doctor said that I just need to sleep and sweat a little more—you can play somewhere else first."

The little cat refused to leave, so Pei Ye called the palace people in and took the little raccoon slave out, but not long after the palace people took him out, the little cat sneaked in again.

Immediately afterwards, he sneakily stuffed himself into the brocade quilt, and then shrank to Pei Ye's side, refusing to move.

The emperor scratched him, and he stuck to him like a dog's skin plaster. His Majesty had nothing to do with him, so he had to helplessly reach out and rub his head: "Then you stay here, don't come up. "

The little cat nodded obediently this time.

Pei Ye finally lay down, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and thought of Fang Tishuang's life experience for no reason. His grandfather died in battle, and his mother died on the sick bed.

"Are you...afraid that you will die of illness?" He suddenly lowered his eyes and asked almost inaudibly.

The little cat nodded, and his voice was a little lost: "Meow."

Pei Ye suddenly smiled a little: "Silly cat."

He paused, but his heart was sore, and he said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is just a minor illness. There are so many imperial physicians in this palace, how can they let them die alone?"

The author has something to say:

Note: "The Analects of Confucius·Gongye Chang": "The way is not good, take a boat to float in the sea." It means: My idea does not work, so I take a small bamboo raft to float on the sea.
