Chapter 69 The thought of raising a bunch of rats gives me a headache.

"Who wants to be paired with him!" Little Black bristled. "I'm a mouse and he's a cat. Cats and mice only fight each other. How can they be a good match?"

Although Xiao Hei was reluctant to be "matched" with Xiao Bai, his body language betrayed him: "Alright then, I'll reluctantly help you. But don't forget the delicious treat you promised!"

"Alright, alright, if Shengsheng fails to do it, I'll give you Xiaobai as compensation." Shengsheng smiled and patted his head.

noob:?

Are you being polite?

This matter was decided very happily, although it seemed that no one was happy except for Sheng Sheng.

Xiao Hei promised her that he would wander around every corner of the palace these days, but he only dared to do so secretly at night.

During the day, with so many people around, this big black rat wouldn't dare to be so brazen. Running around in broad daylight—wasn't that just inviting trouble? He wasn't ready to die yet.

Nighttime is much safer than daytime, but at the same time, the probability of finding someone is also much lower.

Xiao Hei told her to be mentally prepared; he would look, but he might not be able to find her.

Sheng Sheng, however, felt no pressure: "It's okay, I believe in you."

"Alright, I'll try my best." Little Black, having eaten and drunk its fill, patted its paws, ready to leave. "Can I take some with me? The food here is really delicious!"

"OK."

Sheng Sheng picked up a piece of coconut cake and gave it to Xiao Hei, watching him carry the cake on his back with a face full of doting affection, and waved goodbye as he left.

"The little mouse is so cute."

Ignoring Xiaobai's slightly jealous look, Sheng Sheng sighed softly, patted her bottom, stood up, and turned around to find everyone looking at her with admiration.

Sheng Sheng tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zijuan, her eyes sparkling with admiration, exclaimed, "Princess, you're so amazing!"

Spring Blossom and Autumn Moon: "Yes, Princess, although we don't understand what happened, it's really amazing!"

Old Cat and Old Fish: "Princess, you are indeed full of spirit and have quite the presence. In our opinion, you might have a talent for martial arts, so perhaps..."

As everyone got more and more excited, Huang Ying was the calmest and interrupted them: "Alright, stop joking around. This matter is of great importance. At the very least, it's about finding out who's behind the assassination attempt; at worst, it concerns the safety of the princess."

Everyone quickly stopped laughing; they were so busy having fun that they almost forgot about the important matter.

Xie Yunchuan's eyes held a warning as he instructed, "You are all people who serve the princess. You should know what you should and shouldn't say. Keep today's events to yourselves."

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes."

In fact, even if Xie Yunchuan didn't warn them, they wouldn't casually reveal their master's affairs.

Huang Ying is an old servant of Yuqing Palace, and needless to say, she is loyal to Xie Yunchuan.

Zijuan was fortunate enough to be favored by the princess and become her head maid, for which she was extremely grateful. In addition, after spending so much time together, she had already genuinely fallen in love with this princess who was both beautiful and kind.

The spring flowers and autumn moon were personally chosen by Xie Yunchuan, not to mention the old cat and the old fish.

They are all loyal people, and not fools without any cunning. How could they not understand these principles?

Xie Yunchuan frowned and nodded before continuing to ask, "Uh, what... Xiao Hei?"

Sheng Sheng: "Yes, it's Xiao Hei."

Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath and hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you serious? You mean, looking for someone?"

To be honest, he's still completely clueless.

He didn't know how, but his sister was able to talk to animals and even command them to do things.

But while I was puzzled, I also felt that it should be so. After all, there were unusual phenomena on the day Shengsheng was born. Wasn't he said to be an auspicious omen for the Yu Kingdom from the moment he was born?

"Don't worry, brother, the little mice are amazing too!" Sheng Sheng shook his head and began to preach. "Sometimes animals can do things that humans can't. Humans can't fly, but birds can; humans can't live in water, but fish can. Brother, don't ask why I can talk to them. I've understood their language since I was little, and I can even be friends with them. I don't know why. I think maybe it's because I'm cute? Anyway, just wait and see, brother, trust Xiao Hei!"

The little dumpling smiled and spoke with surprising confidence, explaining profound truths in a very professional manner.

Xie Yunchuan chuckled: "Alright, brother will just wait."

If my sister says it's okay, then it's okay!

A new member arrived at Yuqing Palace without any explanation, and Huang Ying was very worried that Yuqing Palace might have to raise a bunch of rats in the future.

It's not that I can't afford to raise them, it's just that other rich young ladies raise cats and birds.

Their princess keeps mice?

This sounds really strange.

Zijuan comforted her, "It's alright, Sister Huangying. I have a feeling that our princess might not only keep mice as pets. From birds to fish, even foxes, deer, and even tigers might appear in our Yuqing Palace!"

Huang Ying's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that Zi Juan had been traumatized earlier: "Zi Juan, are you alright? But thinking about it, if even tigers can be kept as pets, then a few little mice really don't matter. After all, tigers are the king of beasts, and they eat people, so how could they be kept as pets?"

Zijuan shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She wasn't joking; she was serious, extremely serious.

"In the future, our Yuqing Palace will definitely become more and more lively."

Huang Ying smiled and said, "That's right. Since the princess arrived, Yuqing Palace has become much more interesting."

"But Yan Hu is so attached to the princess. If there are more animals in the future, do you think Yan Hu will get jealous?"

The two huddled together, glancing furtively at Yan Hu, who was squatting at Sheng Sheng's feet gnawing on a large bone. They exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

The climate in Beijing is dry, and the winter cold is also dry and cold. The howling wind blows against your face, and after taking a few steps, you feel like your face is cracking.

Sheng Sheng's head ached from the wind, so Consort Rong made her a tiger-head hat by hand, white and pink, which was very cute.

My little one loves it! It's both cute and warm, and he wears it every day when he goes out.

When I first visited Yuqing Palace, the crape myrtle flowers in the palace had not yet been carved, and there were still many leaves on the trees.

New Year's Day is almost here in the blink of an eye. The crape myrtle flowers have withered completely, and the leaves have fallen in twos and threes.

Sheng Sheng always brings a group of people with her when she goes out, and perhaps because of this, nothing unusual has happened this month.

However, there has been no progress on Xiao Hei's side either.

According to Xiao Hei, he would wander between the palaces every day after 7 PM, but he didn't know if it was just bad luck, because he never encountered that familiar voice.
