Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

"what happened?"

As soon as Xuanyuan Che said this, everyone started whispering to each other.

Someone who knew the situation whispered to her, "Just now by the lotus pond, I saw her calling out to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know what she said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness only said one sentence and then left."

"There is such a thing?" The female relatives covered their mouths in astonishment, trying to keep their voices low: "It seems that she wanted to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but was rejected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"That should be the case. Knowing that the prince dislikes her, she still tries to get close to him. She is indeed a member of the Cao family."

Mei Susu shook her ears and had to admit that these young ladies from aristocratic families were really capable.

Just by listening to Xuanyuan Che's words, one can guess what happened.

It's almost like a Sherlock Holmes case.

Cao Shi's face turned red as she listened to the whispers of the crowd behind her. She pinched the corner of her clothes helplessly and was about to say something to defend herself when Queen Cao's voice rang out.

"Shi'er."

As soon as Queen Cao's voice came out, all the whispers fell silent and the scene became quiet immediately.

The crowd dispersed, and Empress Cao came out from behind, supported by her nanny. She smiled very kindly, but everyone present knew that she was not a friendly person.

Empress Cao walked forward, looked at the lively place and said with a smile: "Today is a lotus viewing banquet specially held by me for the crown prince. Seeing you guys chatting so enthusiastically, I feel relieved. I was bored sitting alone at the banquet. Seeing how lively it is here, I also want to come over and join in. What are you guys chatting about?"

She was smiling widely and had a gentle look on her face, as if she had really seen the excitement and had come here specifically to join in the fun.

But after she finished speaking, there was total silence and no one spoke.

Empress Cao did not feel embarrassed either. She extended her hand to Cao Shi who was standing in the front and said, "Shi'er, tell me, is there anything interesting? Tell me about it."

She was talking about her aunt, not me. Everyone present was smart, so how could they not understand what Empress Cao meant? She was deliberately supporting her Cao family.

Xuanyuan Che smiled and sipped the tea carefully. It was just a joke, so just watch it.

With the support of Queen Cao, Cao Shi stood up straight.

He immediately took Empress Cao's hand and moved closer to her, looking aggrieved.

"Aunt, I just came here to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince normally, but they laughed at me for no reason."

Upon hearing this, Mei Susu looked up at Xuanyuan Che, wanting to see how he reacted. After all, as the first person involved, he should have a way to deal with such words that were clearly directed at him.

But as soon as she raised her eyes, a big hand was placed on her little head, holding her little face in the palm.

Mei Susu, whose vision suddenly went dark, said, "Hmm?"

"Be good." Xuanyuan Che coaxed softly, "Don't worry about me."

Mei Susu: “….”

She arched her little head in Xuanyuan Che's palm, trying to push it out of his palm. Who was worried about that? She just wanted to take a look.

Xuanyuan Che let go of her hand as she wished. After seeing the light of day again, Mei Susu opened her mouth unhappily and bit Xuanyuan Che's palm.

The ferocious look like a little tiger made Xuanyuan Che smile.

After letting her bite for a while, Xuanyuan Che took the handkerchief and wiped the hair at the corners of her mouth, then wiped her saliva off his palm and gently spanked her butt: "Not good."

Mei Susu snorted twice, curled up and ignored him.

She took note of the fact that he covered her eyes and spanked her.

The interaction between the man and the cat is heartwarming and pleasing to the eye. Mei Susu was born beautiful, and now when she is throwing a tantrum, she looks spoiled, and her chubby little face is extremely adorable.

Needless to say, Xuanyuan Che always has a cold expression that keeps people away on weekdays, and he has never been so gentle before.

When he has a cold face, he is like a banished immortal from the iceberg, mysterious and unattainable.

When his brows softened, he looked like the favored child of heaven who had strayed into the mortal world, a young man with an immortal air, attracting everyone's attention and causing the women to cover their mouths in amazement.

This scene has overshadowed the surrounding scenery, and only he and the cat in his arms are the most eye-catching.

It was only then that Queen Cao noticed the cat in Xuanyuan Che's arms, and her face immediately turned dark.

Why is this beast here?

"Aunt, let me tell you..." Cao Shi was still chattering.

But Empress Cao suddenly gave her a cold look. Cao Shi's body stiffened immediately and she swallowed the rest of her words.

"As a daughter of the Cao family, what's wrong with you?" Empress Cao looked at her wet hair unhappily and said, "You have no manners."

Cao Shi quickly let go of Empress Cao's hand and said tremblingly: "My niece was accidentally splashed with water. I have already cleaned it up, but this wet hair will not dry for a while, so I had no choice but to do this..."

"You are bringing shame to the Cao family if you are not dressed properly. If you can't do it, go back and take a rest. Why are you still embarrassing yourself outside?"

Empress Cao's voice was not loud, so only Cao Shi could hear it. Cao Shi's face turned red and he felt very aggrieved. He didn't understand why his aunt, who was so fine just now, suddenly had such a gloomy face.

"Why don't you go down yet?" When Empress Cao saw that no one moved after she spoke, she snorted in displeasure, and frightened Cao Shi so much that she quickly bowed and retreated.

Without Cao Shi's shielding, everyone could see Empress Cao's dark face. The smart ones immediately said they were not feeling well and found an excuse to slip away.

Those who are left at the end are either afraid to leave, or just want to watch the fun.

And the bold ones were still whispering to each other.

"I thought the Queen was here to support Cao Shi, but it seems that's not the case."

"Hush, keep your voice down. The Queen is the mother of a country. How can she be the same as the other members of the Cao family? She must be reasonable."

Their voices were so soft that only people with excellent hearing would be unable to hear them.

Mei Susu heard it and looked up at Xuanyuan Che. Seeing that he looked indifferent, she thought that he had heard it too.

Did Empress Cao do this on purpose, or did she just end up making things worse?

Empress Cao picked up the tea and stirred the tea leaves in the cup. "As the prince's mother, I have the right to remind him that the country is busy with political affairs. Don't let your idleness distract you from your work. There are so many eyes watching you in the court. I don't want to hear outsiders say that the prince is just playing with cats and birds and not doing his job properly."

Mei Susu, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason:......

Xuanyuan Che put down the teacup and smiled instead of getting angry.

"If anyone in the court criticizes me for playing with cats and birds, I will investigate thoroughly."

"He even cares about such a small matter as mine. I think he is idle and has nothing to do on weekdays. In this case, why not vacate the position and give it to someone who will not only focus on me but also play with cats and birds, and do some practical things for the people."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Che placed Mei Susu on his shoulder, tilted his head slightly and rubbed her soft hair, looking at Empress Cao with cold eyes and disdain: "Mother, do you think what I said is right?"

"Bang!"

Empress Cao became uneasy and dropped the cup in her hand.

She screamed and felt a stinging pain on the back of her hand. All the scalding hot tea spilled on her hand.

"My queen!" the nanny screamed.

Queen Cao pulled the clothes that were sticking to her body to dissipate some of the heat, but the burned parts were still burning with pain. She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't get angry in the current situation.

Xuanyuan Che stood up and seemed very flustered.

"How could the Queen Mother be so careless? Hurry up and help her get treated. If you are left with any injuries, I will chop off your heads."

Empress Cao looked at him in disbelief and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What tricks are you trying to play?"

Xuanyuan Che smiled evilly: "My Queen Mother, please stay safe and recover from your injuries. I will give her a great gift tomorrow."
