The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Duke Lu's Mansion, in the North Courtyard.

Zhou Xiantong leaned on the bed and closed her eyes to meditate. The maid who served her stood behind her and pressed her head gently, listening to the laughter in the distant yard, but the surroundings around her were quiet. , she suddenly opened her eyes.

"lady?"

The maid stopped moving, thinking that her strength was not suitable.

There was a slight smile between Zhou Xiantong's eyebrows. Her appearance was roughly similar to that of the current queen, but her temperament was different, appearing more gentle, and there was still a bit of sadness between her eyebrows. The number of illnesses has increased, and her bones are getting worse and worse, which makes her feel a little weak.

Hearing the maidservant's voice, she waved her hands and asked, "The prince has been out of the palace recently?"

The servant girl replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness has been coming to the mansion at various times these days, and Madam Rong must be very happy."

Zhou Xiantong smiled: "This mother and son are very affectionate..."

Lu Rong clearly has a child of her own, but she also treats the adopted Lu Wanzhen as her own, so that every time the child leaves the palace, he doesn't go to Yaohou's mansion a few times, but always runs to Duke Lu's mansion.

Zhou Xiantong's eyes revealed a bit of genuine envy.

The maidservants were worried that mentioning other people's children in front of her would only make Madam sad, so they deliberately diverted the topic and returned to the original place:

"Madam, are you feeling better recently?"

"Last time the doctor said that Madam might feel bored staying in the mansion like this every day. It will be General Heng's holiday in a few days. I heard people say that the Nanshan Mountain outside the city has a beautiful scenery. Today is very hot. How about letting the general take his wife out for a walk?"

There was a slight smile on Zhou Xiantong's lips, she shook her head and said slowly:

"Don't be so troublesome, my yard is full of flowers and fruits, and I'm just picking them up here."

Hearing Zhou Xiantong's answer, the maid secretly sighed in her heart, but said obediently on the face: "But according to Madam's orders."

While the two were talking, a maidservant from outside came to report:

"The prince's courtyard invited Mr. Xiao Lang from Zou Gong's restaurant to be a guest today, and specially made some snacks. Chen Lang sent someone to invite his wife to have a taste."

Zhou Xiantong frowned upon hearing this: "Oh? Since when did Chen'er and His Highness become so close? No wonder the courtyard over there is always laughing and laughing. Presumably the children were taken away by him."

"Since the younger generation has a heart, let's present it."

Zhou Xiantong felt a little strange.

After all, in the past, Lu Chen and Lu Wanzhen didn't get along very well. Everyone in the house joked that it was because they got married when they were young, and they couldn't get along when they grew up.

Unexpectedly, the two of them became so close in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xiantong couldn't help sighing that time flies.

The maid brought up jelly and milk tea together. One bowl of light brown milk exudes a strong fragrance, sweet and tea-like. The other bowl is crystal clear and translucent like jade. Small pieces are placed in a bowl, with some red bean paste and sun-dried grapes on top.

Zhou Xiantong looked at this new gadget, and immediately guessed who made it, and asked the maid beside him with a smile:

"Is this from Shiro in the restaurant?"

"I heard that he left Wang'an and traveled to Dali, but now he finally returned?"

It seems that the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince and Huang Xing can get together is this young man.

"Yes, the young gentleman came to the mansion two days ago and has been living in the prince's courtyard. I heard from others that Chen Lang liked this gentleman's craftsmanship very much, so he took his brothers and sisters to His Highness every day. Run in the courtyard." The maid beside her slowly answered.

Zhou Xiantong smiled: "I guessed so."

She picked up the spoon next to the bowl, and first stirred the milk tea. When she picked up a small spoon, she found a small dark ball lying quietly in the spoon. Zhou Xiantong was quite pleasantly surprised. She didn't know what it was. After putting it into the mouth, after one bite, you will be conquered by the smooth texture.

Zhou Xiantong felt a little strange.

She went to pick up the bowl of crystal jelly next to her again, and the sweet taste came into her mouth. She bit down on the crystal with her teeth, and the sweet raisins bounced between her teeth. , and was surrounded by the lingering red bean paste, leaving only layers of sweetness in the mouth.

The soft sweetness of the red bean paste, the condensed sweetness of the raisins, and finally the light sweetness of the crystal jelly, all of which are not greasy and complement each other.

Zhou Xiantong asked the maid: "What are the names of these two snacks?"

"Over there, it is said that it is milk tea and jelly. Chen Lang specially instructed that this jelly may be a bit cold, Madam should use less, and leave it for General Heng to taste."

Zhou Xiantong shook his head with a smile: "He is the only one who is so courageous, he dares to make fun of me now."

Saying this, Zhou Xiantong didn't want to make Mr. Lang worry, so he moved the spoon a few more times, and stopped eating.

Until lunch that day—

The maidservants presented another dish made by Le Ning, which was a steamed chicken full of medicinal aroma.

The steamed golden-yellow oil stars slowly fell along the fresh and tender chicken skin, forming a small golden pool at the bottom of the plate. Half a chicken was lying on the snow-white plate. The curling fragrance drifted along with the hot air and penetrated into the noses of everyone in the room.

It smells pretty good.

Zhou Xiantong stared at it for a while, then called the maid who delivered the dishes, and asked, "What is Chen'er trying to sell today? Isn't this dish made by the small kitchen?"

She has always known the people in her yard, because Zhou Xiantong was always sick, so she often had to take some medicine, so that she felt uncomfortable after smelling the medicine.

Nowadays, there are very few doctors who know how to eat, except for the imperial dining room in the palace, there are few who dare to eat medicinal food, let alone her small kitchen in a small courtyard.

Therefore, Zhou Xiantong boldly guessed that it might be that in the courtyard next door, Huang Xing and the young man from the restaurant were going to come.

Sure enough, the maid replied honestly:

"This dish was delivered by a special person from the courtyard next door. His Royal Highness said that Madam would like this 'medicated steamed chicken'."

Your Royal Highness?

It was Huang Xing in the morning, and now His Royal Highness the Prince sent it?

Zhou Xiantong was a little puzzled, and asked carefully: "Is this meal divided among the rooms?"

The servant girl was also a little dazed: "The servant girl didn't see the maidservants in other rooms in the courtyard of Your Highness."

Zhou Xiantong: "...?"

She couldn't help frowning, and wondered: "What are these two people doing with me now?"

The maidservants also looked at each other, but no one could answer this question.

Zhou Xiantong ordered the people around him to put the steamed chicken in front of him, poked the chicken lightly with the chopsticks, and he could see the thick soup slowly flowing out of the small opening where the chopsticks were pierced.

I don't know how the chicken was steamed, but the medicinal smell that used to make Zhou Xiantong sick when he smelled it, now it smells a little seductive.

With a slight smile on her lips, she said slowly:

"Is there anything else you want to say, Your Highness?"

As soon as these words came out, the face of the serving maid became a little weird, but she was always loyal to her master, hesitated for a while, and said slowly:

"Have."

"Your Highness said...it would be a pity if Madam doesn't like this meal."

Holding the chopsticks, Zhou Xiantong picked a small piece of tender white chicken with the skin off from the chicken thigh, dipped it in the chili powder that was served on the side, and added a touch of red to the tender white chicken.

Then, she put the chicken into her mouth.

Smelling the overbearing aroma of herbal food, it faded a lot after being put into the mouth, leaving only the aroma of chicken in the mouth. The tender skin makes people love its crispy taste between the teeth, every trace The chicken soaked in the soup in the texture makes people feel dry and tasteless, and the combination of the two is just right.

The chili powder dipped on it is the icing on the cake. When the tip of the tongue accidentally touches the meat on the side dipped in chili, a small amount of spiciness is ignited, like a surprise hidden on the tip of the tongue.

Zhou Xiantong's eyebrows were warm, with a faint smile on her face, and she asked the maid to reply:

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness, I like this meal very much."

"Go to His Highness's courtyard in the afternoon."

……

Simultaneously.

In Lu Wanzhen's courtyard.

Le Ning watched the children of Lu's family take a bite of chicken and jelly, feeling a little helpless:

"It's better to eat less jelly."

After hearing this, one and a half adults around Huang Xing worried that this future sister would deprive him of the joy of eating jelly, so he rolled his eyes, took the chicken leg in his hand and dipped it in the chili powder in the small dish, and then directly bite.

Good, very spicy...

With tears in his eyes, he said: "Grandpa said, this spicy food is hot in nature, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much. I think this chicken is not good if you don't dip it in spicy food, so in order to reduce the fire, I need to eat more jelly."

Longman:"……"

Other children followed suit. In order to eat more jelly, they mustered up the courage to sprinkle more chili on their chicken.

Instead, Huang Xing raised his hand and knocked the boy on the head: "You have nothing to eat if you spoil your younger siblings."

Lu Wanzhen, who had changed to a large size earlier, was sitting next to Le Ning. The bowl contained thinly torn chicken near the legs and two wings. Unlike the boys next to him, Lu Wanzhen was using chopsticks slowly Eating between sandwiches, the movement looks very elegant.

Seeing Le Ning's tolerance towards the children of the Lu family, she frowned.

Lu Wanzhen felt that he was a little entangled, and he wanted to make people get the approval of the Lu family, but he didn't want people to always focus on other people.

However, at this moment, in order to have a proper meal, she couldn't bear the identity of a cat, so she could only feel angry in her heart.

Until lunch is over, half an hour later——

Lu Wanzhen immediately chased him away with the excuse that he was going to take a nap.

Le Ning took the bowls and chopsticks to wash, but was stopped: "Just leave these tasks to the servants, and you can take a nap with me."

Longman:"……?"

She tactfully refused: "Your Highness, I just had some inspiration again. Besides, I don't have the habit of taking a nap. Your Highness should rest by himself."

Lu Wanzhen: "..."

She was not discouraged, she just sneered and watched Le Ning throw herself away and go to the kitchen alone.

After a while, the gray and white dumpling ran into the kitchen, biting Le Ning's trouser leg and meowing vaguely at her, trying to pull her out.

Le Ning squatted down in a good-tempered manner, and picked up the cat, "What's the matter? Didn't His Highness just say that he was going to take a nap?"

Lu Wanzhen: Oh, woman.

He knew clearly that I was the only one, but he was willing to be so gentle to me because I used the body of a cat.

Lu Wanzhen saw through the world.

Then she firmly and persistently wanted to take Le Ning back to the house. Le Ning couldn't refuse Lu Wanzhen who was in the cat's state, so he had to put down what he was doing, and reluctantly walked into the house with the cat in his arms.

Putting the kitten next to the person beside the bed, Le Ning said, "Can I get out of Zhima's body honestly now? Your Highness."

Lu Wanzhen nodded seriously like a kitten.

The next moment, Sesame, who had returned to her body, jumped out from between the two of them nimbly, and Lu Wanzhen, who was lying on the bed, turned over and hugged Le Ning's waist and leaned against her.

Lu Wanzhen, who didn't know that his mother-in-law had five seconds to arrive on the battlefield, was eating tofu with his daughter in his arms.

Le Ning was stiff all over, pressed Lu Wanzhen's shoulder, and stepped back by himself:

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Lu Wanzhen's voice fell lazily and close to her ears, perhaps because the two of them were so close to each other so comfortably, Lu Wanzhen's voice lacked the blessing of internal strength, and the slightly hoarse female voice seemed a bit ascetic-like alluring people:

"Huh? Didn't you just agree to sleep with me?"

Longman:"……"

With all due respect, what I promised was to sleep with Zhima.

She is not used to the domineering aura on Lu Wanzhen, especially when she is all close, Le Ning always has a feeling of being dominated by a big boss.

So, Le Ning bit the bullet and made a suggestion: "How about...Your Highness, you can change it back?"

The atmosphere in the bed room was quiet for a while.

Lu Wanzhen was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and asked, "You only like that cat!"

Le Ning blinked innocently, and comforted her: "Your Highness misunderstood, as long as it looks like a cat, whether it's you or Zhima, I actually like it very much."

After finishing speaking, Le Ning thought, he really is a serious cat lover, children only make choices, and of course adults want them all!Two cat souls, double the pride and happiness!

Lu Wanzhen, who was not comforted at all: "..."

You philandering carrot!

She was quiet for a while, and a dangerous arc suddenly appeared on her lips.

After a while——

The person holding Le Ning fell into silence.

And the agile figure that had already jumped out of the window jumped back, jumped onto the bed majesticly, stepped on Le Ning's stomach and chest through the quilt, and stood proudly on top of her, condescendingly. look at her.

Le Ning smiled and raised his hand to rub the cat's head: "Oh, so cute!"

Lu Wanzhen stared at her coldly for a while, lowered his head reservedly, and approached her lips vaguely.

But it's been a long time since I kissed him.

Le Ning, who was waiting for the cat's kiss, couldn't hold it back. He pressed the cat's head, and decided to make a living by himself: "Come and kiss~"

The moment Le Ning pressed the cat's body——

Inexplicably, Zhima, who had returned to her body, saw someone approaching, and reflexively raised her front paw, pressing it on the mouth of the person in front of her, with resistance written all over her face.

The next moment-

The back of Le Ning's neck was also pinched, she turned her head uncontrollably, and was kissed firmly by the person next to her.

Lu Wanzhen said with a smile, "You invited me."

Le Ning subconsciously let go of the cat, raised his hand to push the person who came over, and quibbled:

"You change it for me...change it and kiss..."

The author has something to say: Le Ning (to His Majesty Maoban): Oh, come, kiss, hug and hold high!

To the human version of His Royal Highness: Get lost.
