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

Chapter 56: Dark Night's One Eye for Ten Thousand Years

The bedroom of Shoukang Palace was sparkling with pearls and filled with fragrance.

Two maids in dark green palace costumes were smiling and fanning the person on the couch with feather fans in their hands.

The furnishings in the hall are very gorgeous, with precious boxwood furniture and exquisitely carved dragon and phoenix patterns.

Incense burners, candlesticks and other copper items are all made of fine copper and plated with gold, exuding luxury.

On the rosewood couch, a woman was dozing with her eyes closed.

Although wrinkles can be seen between her brows, she still looks as beautiful as before.

She was wearing a black brocade robe with wide sleeves, and the body of the robe was decorated with crimson embroidery. The embroidery was woven with inky fluorescent silk threads. Under the light, she looked like a living thing, which was extremely magical.

Her hibiscus black hair was mixed with some white hair, all tied up with kingfisher feather and gold filigree braids, and dotted with a few locust flower silver hairpins. It was very simple and different from the extravagance in the palace.

On the cushion beside her, a black cat was curled up with its eyes closed and resting with her.

Suddenly the black cat's ears moved and it opened its eyes.

A pair of extremely beautiful golden pupils looked out the window, the black cat stood up, shook its fur, jumped directly onto the window sill and jumped off the windowsill.

As soon as the black cat left, the woman opened her eyes.

"Madame Hao, what time is it?"

A maid holding a fan beside her quickly lowered her waist and replied, "Your Highness, it is three quarters past four in the morning."

"Why did Mingye run out before noon?" she asked.

Matron Hao smiled and said, "It may be that the palace is quiet and Miss Mingye is bored."

"Hmm." The Queen Mother hummed in agreement and propped herself up.

Nanny Hao and Nanny Liu hurried forward to support her and helped her get off the bed.

"Empress Dowager, do you remember Concubine Li?" After the Empress Dowager got off the couch, Nanny Liu chatted with her.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "But is that the most beautiful woman in the capital?"

Aunt Liu nodded quickly: "It's her. It is said that a wild cat entered her palace last night and frightened her and went crazy."

The Queen Mother paused and looked at Aunt Liu: "Wild cat?"

Matron Hao also chimed in: "Some palace servants said that Concubine Li sent someone to smash a cat in the Imperial Garden yesterday, and the cat took advantage of the night to seek revenge."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows relaxed upon hearing this, and a sarcastic look appeared on her face: "It's her own fault. That's her own fault."

Nanny Hao and Nanny Liu looked at each other and said nothing more. The Empress Dowager loved cats, and she had been unwilling to see the Emperor for several days because His Majesty had ordered the catching of cats.

Now that Concubine Li has brought trouble upon herself, she must bear the consequences herself.

"Have you investigated the incident of the third princess being scratched by a cat last time?" The Queen Mother walked to the table and sat down.

Aunt Liu replied: "No movement yet."

The Queen Mother looked a little unhappy.

Matron Hao took a look and hesitantly said, "The spies said that it's possible that the incident was caused by the Third Princess... the Third Princess."

"Why are you so hesitant?" The Queen Mother gave her a look and said, "Speak."

Matron Hao did not dare to hesitate any longer and said hurriedly, "The spies said that the incident might have been staged by the Third Princess herself. The wound on the Third Princess's forehead did look like a cat scratch, but it also looked like it was man-made. Perhaps the Third Princess was a child by nature and wanted to gain His Majesty's exclusive favor, so she did it on purpose."

With a "bang", the jade porcelain teacup was slammed hard onto the table.

The Queen Mother frowned and said unhappily, "Nonsense!"

Nanny Hao and Nanny Liu quickly knelt down and hunched over.

"Your Majesty spent so much effort and so much manpower and resources to build the Moon-Lanling Palace. There are so many gold, silver and jade artifacts inside. She just burned it down because of her temper? This is ridiculous!"

Matron Hao raised her head, her face full of worry: "Empress Dowager, you are not in good health. The imperial physician said that you should not get angry. The Third Princess has been punished by His Majesty to go to the Imperial Temple to repent. Now that things have come to this, please don't get angry and hurt yourself."

The Queen Mother slammed the table so hard that it made loud clatters. She looked grief-stricken and genuinely felt sorry for the Lanyue Palace that had been burned to ashes.

Nanny Hao stood up, supported her, and comforted her softly.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Yue'er has been spoiled by the Queen. A good girl has been brought up to be so domineering and arrogant. If you go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you will only have to say one word. You are not allowed to give the princess special treatment. If you want to repent, repent well and don't do anything shameless."

"Hey." Nanny Hao quickly responded and patted his back to help him breathe.

The empress dowager took a long time to calm down before she felt relieved. She was really angry just now.

After she recovered, she stood up and said, "You two will accompany me to the Buddhist temple to copy the scriptures. The palace has been uneasy these days, so I have to go and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the emperor."

Nanny Liu and Nanny Hao nodded in response and accompanied her to the Buddhist temple.

After Ming Ye jumped out of the hall, he ran towards the source of the sound.

After turning three corridors, it saw a group of white flowers squatting on the flower bed in the distance.

Under the sunlight, her whole body was faintly glowing with golden light like the mist in the morning light.

Her eyes are as green as emeralds and are looking around at the moment. Her nose tip is pink and her ears are also pink. She looks very beautiful from a distance.

Mingye stood there looking at Meisusu in the distance, his pupils shrank slightly and his tail couldn't help but stand up.

Perhaps it was because of his spiritual intelligence, he always felt that some changes had taken place in himself.

In the past, at certain times, he would accept anyone who came to him in order to relieve his physical discomfort.

But ever since he gained spiritual intelligence, he would rather endure it when he felt unwell than deal with the little female cat on the wall who was waiting anxiously for him.

He thought something was wrong with him.

But at this moment he suddenly realized.

It's not that there's something wrong with him, it's that he's been waiting.

Waiting for her, the one who is with us not for reproduction, but because of what humans call love.

Mingye shook his fur and walked gently towards Meisusu.

Mei Susu was squatting on the flower bed watching the butterflies in the air. When she heard the noise, she shrank her neck vigilantly and looked towards the source of the noise.

"It's you." Mei Susu was a little surprised to see Mingye: "Why are you here?"

Mingye swiftly jumped onto the flower bed, squatted down face to face with Meisusu, and looked at her with golden eyes: "I live here."

"You live here?" Mei Susu looked at the direction he was coming from and found that it was the direction of the main hall. "Are you the Queen Mother's cat?"

Seeing her so surprised, Mingye remembered that he didn't introduce himself to her when he first met her.

So I hummed a little embarrassedly.

Mei Susu really didn't expect Ming Ye to be the Queen Mother's cat, so she asked, "What a coincidence! Did you see the two little palace maids and a little eunuch? I just followed them in and got lost."

"I saw them." On the way here, Ming Ye saw three people walking towards the door, two palace maids and a little eunuch, and they happened to meet each other.

"Really!" Mei Susu looked at him excitedly: "Where are they? Can you take me to find them?"

"Okay." Mingye agreed readily, but before Meisusu could express her gratitude, he added, "It will be beneficial."
