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

"Like it?" Xuanyuan Che smiled and touched Mei Susu's tail. With a sly smile, he reached under Mei Susu's belly and tried to take out the precious jade: "Susu, don't force yourself. If you don't like it, I'll change it for you."

"Meow, meow~" Mei Susu hugged the jade tightly, and her hind paws kept kicking Xuanyuan Che's hand that was stretched under her belly.

I like it, I like it, who says I don’t like it.

She kicked Xuanyuan Che's hand away, protected Baoyu with her body, changed direction, and turned her butt towards Xuanyuan Che, fearing that her treasure would be snatched away.

Xuanyuan Che laughed. It would be difficult to take out the things that had gone into the miser's pocket.

"If Susu doesn't give me this jade, how can I find someone to carve it?"

"Meow~" Mei Susu still had her butt facing him.

No, I haven’t hugged you enough.

"Susu, be good." Xuanyuan Che patted her butt.

Mesusu ignored him and swept his hand away with her tail.

Just hold me for a while, and I’ll give it to you later!

Xuanyuan Che looked doting, but there was no need to rush. Since the little girl liked it, he would let her hold it first.

Xuanyuan Che picked up the memorial beside him and just as he opened it, he heard a message from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Zhao requests to see you."

Xuanyuan Che did not respond.

The Shadow Chasing Group understood what he meant and stepped forward to open the palace door.

At the entrance of the palace, Zhao Zhen was holding an exquisite tray with a gold-plated post on top.

Seeing Zhui Ying, he asked with a smile, "Master Ying, is His Highness here?"

Zhuiying stepped aside and gestured for invitation: "Your Highness is inside."

Zhao Zhen quickly lifted up his clothes and walked into the hall hurriedly but calmly.

Mei Susu lay beside Xuanyuan Che, holding Baoyu and licking her paws leisurely.

Xuanyuan Che looked at the folder in his hand with his black eyes, and gently stroked her little head with his slender white fingers, occasionally tilting his head to see what she was doing.

One person and one cat, the years are peaceful.

When Zhao Zhen entered the hall and saw this scene, he thought he was seeing things. He couldn't believe that the usually cold and icy Crown Prince would have such a gentle expression.

It's not like he had never seen a person and a cat interacting with each other before, but he had never seen them so intimately.

Zhao Zhen still remembered that when the late Queen passed away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the late Queen's body without shedding a single tear.

Everyone said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was cold-blooded and heartless, and some of the things he did later made Zhao Zhen think so too.

Today, His Majesty asked him to choose a Crown Princess. Your Highness the Crown Prince can pick one at random and find out who it is.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about this worldly matter.

Even if the other person is the one he will sleep with for the rest of his life, he cannot be interested in her at all.

But this scene made Zhao Zhen doubt his previous thoughts.

I suspect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not heartless, but he just gives his only affection to specific things.

There have been some rumors in the palace recently that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dotes on cats like his life and pampers them to the extreme, raising them more precious than people.

He originally thought that the rumor was false. After all, it was true that the Crown Prince loved cats, but he would never show it in front of others.

But at this moment Zhao Zhen believed it.

Because except for the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tacitly allowed the cat to lie freely on the desk where he handled government affairs.

In the cat's arms was a piece of blue-white gem of extremely fine quality, which could be called a fairy product.

When he walked closer and saw clearly the jade in the cat's arms, Zhao Zhen's body stiffened and he exclaimed in surprise.

Azure Dragon Jade!

Zhao Zhen's face was filled with astonishment. After he came to his senses, he quickly bowed his head. His heart was beating like a drum and it took him a long time to calm down.

Xuanyuan Che smoothed the hair on Mei Susu's back, and saw that she was squinting comfortably, and he liked it very much. He curled his lips and chuckled: "You know how to enjoy yourself."

Mei Susu tilted her little head back and made a purring sound. When she heard Xuanyuan Che's words, her little tail wrapped around his arm to express her joy.

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years." Zhao Zhen lowered his head and respectfully raised the note in his hand forward a little.

Xuanyuan Che's smile disappeared, and he looked at him coldly: "What is this?"

"Your Highness, this is the list of people attending the Lotus Banquet. His Majesty asked me to bring it to you for your review."

Lotus banquet?

Mei Susu's little ears twitched and she became interested.

Is it the kind of banquet filled with princes and nobles, and where young ladies from different families compete in talent?

That must be very lively, she wants to go too!

As soon as he left, the list came out.

Xuanyuan Che sneered in his heart, it seemed that his father was too idle.

"Now that we have chosen the candidate, there is no need to look any further." Xuanyuan Che had no intention of accepting the offer.

It was just a banquet organized by the daughter of Grand Master Wen, and the list was just a formality.

He didn't take it. Zhao Zhen's hands trembled twice. He hesitated for a moment and stammered, "Your Majesty said that all the noble ladies waiting to be married in the capital will come to this lotus viewing banquet. Your Highness, Your Highness has a Crown Princess, and also..."

He paused for a long time but didn't finish the second half of the sentence, and his body sagged even lower.

Mei Susu's ears suddenly stood up.

What? What did she hear?

Xuanyuan Che is going to marry the Crown Princess?

She lowered her head and looked at Xuanyuan Che's abdomen without any concealment.

So he's not incapable? But he's a vegetarian?

Xuanyuan Che looked at Zhao Zhen in front of him coldly, his tone low and cold: "Speak!"

Zhao Zhen knelt straight on the ground and said the second half of the sentence in one go: "His Majesty said that the Crown Princess has been decided, but Your Highness still lacks some warm-hearted people in the palace. Take this opportunity to choose someone you like. After you marry the Crown Princess, you can make her your concubine."

"is it?"

Xuanyuan Che's smile deepened when he heard this. Zhao Zhen secretly glanced at him and was so scared that he quickly crawled on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still waiting for me to go back and report. I will take my leave first."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen hunched over and placed the thing in his hand on the nearest table, then walked out without daring to raise his head.

Just as he was about to reach the door of the main hall, Xuanyuan Che called him.

Zhao Zhen's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees again. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unhappy, the coldness all over his body could swallow a person alive. He was even more terrifying than His Majesty.

He forced himself to turn around despite his fear: "The servant is here."

Xuanyuan Che picked up Mei Susu from the table and glanced at him: "Go back and tell that person that if he has nothing to do, you can send him the memorial from Chaoyang Palace."

Zhao Zhen didn't need to think about who he was referring to.

He was so scared that cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

I'm afraid the only person in the world who dares to address Your Majesty like this and with such an arrogant tone is the person in front of me.

"I obey your command." Zhao Zhen responded respectfully and then left the hall.

As soon as he left, Mei Susu looked straight at Xuanyuan Che above her head with a curious look in her eyes.

From what Eunuch Zhao said, how come the emperor felt that finding a wife for Xuanyuan Che was not enough and wanted to pick out a few more to warm his bed when there were many noble ladies at the lotus viewing banquet?

He is truly worthy of being an emperor, with a harem of three thousand beauties.

Even the way I think is different from others.

He is old and doesn't care about his health, but he should at least consider whether Xuanyuan Che, who is still young, can handle it.

He was really not afraid that Xuanyuan Che would die in a woman's bed.
