Chapter 209: Persistent Admirer
"It's better to be a kitten. Being hugged, kissed and lifted up will make you happy!"
Yu'er laughed as she spoke, hugging and kissing Li Xuan.
Li Xuan meowed excitedly, and Yu'er also cleared away the gloom.
Yu'er no longer speculates on the holy will, but focuses on the joy at hand.
Seeing Yu'er become happy, Li Xuan also felt relieved.
In his opinion, these things are too illusory and there is no need to focus too much energy on these things.
Rather than that, it's more important to have fun right now.
…
After some twists and turns, life in the palace seemed to have calmed down.
The matter of the eldest prince's departure from the palace and branching of the palace has been a hot topic at the beginning, but now no one cares about it.
It seems that everyone has forgotten that such a thing happened.
On the contrary, Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour was mentioned frequently and became a new hot topic of conversation.
It seems that many people in the palace are looking forward to this southern tour.
Logically speaking, they couldn't go along, and they didn't know what to expect.
A group of little palace maids and eunuchs could do enough chores in the palace for a lifetime, but they ended up being able to talk about national affairs with great clarity.
Whenever I mention the big shots in the court, I seem to be familiar with them.
It seems like this can make them temporarily forget their humble status.
Whenever this happens, the red light on their faces is the dignity they give themselves.
When Li Xuan went shopping after practicing, these were the things that came to his ears.
He had no interest in Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour.
Playing with Princess Ankang at home, practicing martial arts, and occasionally bragging and spanking with the cat brothers are also fulfilling.
…
This day.
Li Xuan was bored at home and was going to the Royal Garden to see what the cat bullies were doing.
"The sun is shining, it's a good weather."
Li Xuan wandered all the way to the Royal Garden, only to find that it was very lively today.
In the open space where cats often gather, next to the patch of land where nepeta was planted, a group of cats gathered there, noisily lowering their heads and eating something.
"what happened?"
"Don't call me when you're eating at the buffet, right?"
Li Xuan was not short of food and drink, but this sense of alienation without him made him very sad.
He was about to go down and say hello, but he saw someone among the cats.
"Eat more, eat more. I have prepared a lot of dried fish, enough for you to eat."
In the open space, a little girl greeted warmly.
In the distance, several attendants were busy carrying sack after sack of dried fish.
Isn't it Princess Yuan'an who is treating the cats to a buffet?
"Why is she here?"
When Li Xuan saw that it was Princess Yuan'an, he immediately stopped, hid on a branch in the distance, and quietly started to cat.
If you eat other people's dried fish, forget about hers.
Li Xuan didn't dislike this little girl very much, but her mother was Empress Wu, so it was better not to get close to her.
The fact that Jingyang Palace had such a miserable life before was all due to Empress Wu.
When Liang Chuchu sent people to find trouble, it was also to curry favor with Queen Wu.
It can be seen that many people in the palace have a bad attitude towards Jingyang Palace, and Empress Wu deserves a lot of credit.
This palace is not small, but it is also big.
Sooner or later, there will be a time to meet Empress Wu, and it will be inevitable to settle old and new grudges.
If he became familiar with Princess Yuan'an, Li Xuan would really be afraid that he would be soft-hearted.
Speaking of which, although I haven't seen Princess Yuanan a few times, she doesn't seem to be a bad child.
A girl who likes kittens can't be too bad.
It's a pity that our positions are different, so it's better not to get too close.
Li Xuan was about to leave, but suddenly saw Princess Yuanan taking out a portrait from her arms.
"Don't eat my dried fish for nothing, can you do me a little favor?"
"Does anyone know this little black cat? Does anyone know where it usually plays?"
Princess Yuanan looked at the portrait in her hand for the cats who were eating dried fish.
But most of the cats were only focused on eating, and no cat looked up to see her portrait.
But Princess Yuanan was not in a hurry, so she held the portrait and waited surrounded by cats, waiting for them to finish the small dried fish in front of them.
Li Xuan took the opportunity to glance at the portrait in her hand from a distance, and it was indeed him who was painted on it.
"Why is this guy so obsessed with me!"
Li Xuan was shocked. Princess Yuanan had shown her great fondness for him when they met several times before.
I thought that Princess Yuan'an only had a temporary passion for him, but she didn't expect that she would become so persistent.
"How many days have passed and she still hasn't forgotten me?"
"Is this the trouble caused by the beauty of kittens?"
Li Xuan Gu Ying felt sorry for himself and was troubled.
"It's not my fault that you look so cute."
At this time, the plates in front of the cats were gradually becoming empty.
But the servants on the side did not come forward to refill the food, and seemed to have lost the vision to serve the master on weekdays.
"Meow-"
A dissatisfied cat meowed loudly.
Li Xuan looked down and found that it was still a familiar face.
"That's when cows get excited."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes and realized that the one shouting among the cats was the cow.
There are still bits of dried small fish stuck to the mouth of this guy, which shows how much he enjoyed eating before.
"I don't see you working so hard during daily practice."
Li Xuan shook his head speechlessly.
The cow took the lead in shouting, and the other cats followed suit and urged them.
"Meow? (Who can eat just this little fish?)"
"Meow! (Those who didn't know better thought we couldn't eat it!)"
"Meow, woo! (One cat, one sack, if anyone can't finish it, I'll help him eat it!)"
"Meow! Woo? Woo? (My cow put the words here! Who agrees? Who opposes?)"
The cow's shouts were more powerful than the usual cat bully, which made the cat bully and Fat Orange on the side look stunned.
After the cow finished barking, the other cats also started barking.
"Meow! Meow! Meow! (Agree! Agree! Agree!)"
Princess Yuanan was frightened by the aura of the cats and took a step back. The attendants rushed forward to protect her.
But then Princess Yuanan realized that she was frightened by a group of cats, and immediately blushed.
She puffed out her chest, then took a step forward, pointed at the portrait in her hand and said to the cats:
"Whoever tells me where this little black cat is, these sacks of dried fish will be yours!"
"Meow……"
"boom!"
As soon as the cow opened its mouth, the bully cat slapped its ear so hard that it couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
"Meow. (Gone.)"
The cat bully didn't shout at the top of his lungs, he just barked calmly, then turned around and left.
I had eaten a lot of dried fish before, so it was no longer a loss.
Fat Orange pulled the cow twice and saw that its eyes were still swishing around, so he directly picked up the skin from the back of its neck and followed the cat bully away.
As the three of them walked away, although the other cats reluctantly looked at the sacks in the hands of the attendants, they slowly dispersed.
Although they could smell the fishy and salty smell of the dried fish in the sack, they knew that they could not eat the dried fish.
Li Xuan is the boss of the cat bullies.
Cat tyrants and the others are the controllers of the Royal Garden.
If you make them angry, they won't even be able to suck the nepeta anymore.
If a cat doesn't suck grass, what else can it do to live?
Seeing that the cats dispersed, Princess Yuanan's face was filled with shock.
"Why are you leaving?"
"Why don't you eat small fish?"
"This is the best dried fish!"
Princess Yuanan took out a handful of dried fish from the sack and tempted the cats who were leaving.
But although some cats cast reluctant glances, no cat dared to get close to Princess Yuanan anymore.
They won't eat it if they are a domineering cat, and neither can other cats.
Cats also have cat rules.
Rules refer to the extremes of a square and a circle; heaven and earth refer to the movement of rules.
The cats in the Royal Garden may not all be as smart as Fat Orange, but they all know that they need to follow their own way of survival.
"How can there be a cat that doesn't eat small dried fish?"
Princess Yuanan collapsed on the ground in despair, and the dried fish in her hand fell to the ground.
Not far away, Bai Xiao, who was being held by a servant, broke free, then came to the owner's side, meowing to comfort him.
"Bai Xiao, fortunately I still have you."
Princess Yuan'an was deeply relieved and reached out to touch Bai Xiao's head, but in vain.
Bai Xiao lowered his head and began to eat the dried fish that fell on the ground.
It had just been watching for a while, and it had long been hungry.
Although Bai Xiao can eat dried fish every day that is more delicious than dried fish, but which cat would dislike too much dried fish?
Her hand came up empty, and Princess Yuanan, who was already unhappy, felt even more aggrieved.
I saw her small mouth shrinking, her big tearful eyes beginning to accumulate mist, and she was about to cry.
At this time, a palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her:
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
"I'm not sad anymore, I'm not sad anymore."
"If you want to play with that little black cat, you can go to Jingyang Palace to discuss it with Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess."
"Why bother asking around with a bunch of wild cats here."
"These wild cats only know how to eat, drink and bask in the sun. How can they understand you?"
After hearing this, Princess Yuanan still felt aggrieved and said:
"But, my mother doesn't allow me to go to Jingyang Palace."
"And even if I go to ask Princess Ankang, I'm afraid she won't agree."
"That day in Juhan Palace, she didn't treat me well."
"After all, after all, I do have no face..."
Seeing how sad she was, several of Princess Yuan'an's attendants couldn't help but be as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
They all put down the sacks containing dried fish and stepped forward to comfort Princess Yuanan.
"This Princess Yuan'an is also strange. It's obviously a white night, but she still insists on playing with me?"
Li Xuan lay on the branch and looked at Princess Yuan'an below. After thinking about it, he felt that he had no special experience with her.
Speaking of which, I just helped her pick a kite hanging on a bamboo tree once.
Since then, she has been pestering herself.
At this moment, Bai Xiao, who was engrossed in eating dried fish, suddenly raised his head, sniffed hard with his pink and tender nose, and looked in the direction of the branch where Li Xuan was hiding.
"Oops, I was smelled by Bai Xiao."
Animals distinguish each other more by taste.
Therefore, although Li Xuan is very good at avoiding human detection, he is not very good at avoiding beings who are also beasts.
Especially when the other person's nose is equally sensitive.
Li Xuan then jumped up the tree, shot directly into the distance, and left the imperial garden.
When Bai Xiao saw the black shadow, he was even more convinced that it was Li Xuan. He didn't care to continue eating the dried fish and chased him directly in the direction he left.
"Meow! (Wait for me!)"
Bai Xiao suddenly ran away so that no one could react.
By the time Princess Yuanan noticed it and reached out to grab it, it was already too late.
"Bai Xiao, come back!"
But Bai Xiao, who was always obedient, climbed over the wall without looking back, following the direction Li Xuan left.
"Bai Xiao!"
Princess Yuanan shouted anxiously.
Although Bai Xiao sometimes sneaks out to play by himself, and then goes home when he is tired.
But now Princess Yuanan feels uneasy.
Especially since Princess Yuan'an had just suffered a setback, and now Bai Xiao suddenly escaped from her, she couldn't help but think wildly.
"Quickly, help me find Bai Xiao."
"Don't let Bai Xiao run away."
Princess Yuan'an had no master at this time and said in a panic.
Her attendants didn't care about anything else and just followed her words to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will get Bai Xiao back soon."
"You wait here for a moment, we two will go back as soon as possible."
The two young eunuchs volunteered, and then secretly winked at the other two palace maids accompanying them, asking them to stay here and take good care of Princess Yuanan.
They were all close attendants who had been with Princess Yuanan for many years. They knew that Princess Yuanan was fine on weekdays, but occasionally she would suddenly panic and behave in a panic.
At this time, you must not let Princess Yuanan run around and comfort her as much as possible.
Otherwise, Princess Yuan'an's emotions will become more and more out of control, and it will be even more troublesome.
The other two palace maids also had a tacit understanding. They nodded slightly and signaled the two young eunuchs to go back quickly and leave this place to them.
There is one more chapter, book friends, wait for me a little longer.
