As soon as it walked out of the gate of Qionghua Palace, the tabby cat ran away. It knew the way to the Pepper Room and it really didn't want to stay with this silly imperial teacher for even a day longer.
The Imperial Master was not a human being. He chanted sutras to this newly weaned kitten all day long.
"Hey hey hey, little kitty."
Wei Junzhai laughed so hard that his teeth almost popped out, like a lecher chasing a young girl.
The palace servants passing by pointed at him and said, "You have lost your morals."
"It's not just morally corrupt, it's completely conscienceless."
Wei Junzhai stopped and stood in front of a group of palace maids with his hands on his hips, "Did you scold me just now?"
"Master, I dare not scold you."
Wei Junzhai didn't believe it at all and asked, "If you dare to swear to the Jade Emperor, I will believe you."
The palace maids spoke eloquently, swearing and swearing without hesitation.
Wei Junzhai discovered from their accents that one of them was born in Chaozhou and asked, "Do you dare to swear in front of Mazu that you didn't curse me?"
The maids all lowered their heads, looking apologetically, "I'm sorry, Imperial Master. I shouldn't have scolded you."
Wei Junzhai was not angry at all, he clapped his hands in delight, "You scolded me well, I am morally destitute, I am completely devoid of conscience."
The palace maids exchanged glances with each other and felt that they would definitely be unlucky today.
"Meow."
The tabby cat remembered the way home and ran back by himself.
Chuchu hugged the little tabby and cried with joy, "You've lost so much weight, so pitiful."
"What are you looking at? Little Lihua has clearly gained weight. If you don't believe me, try to feel him."
Chuchu ignored Biantao's words and carried the tabby cat into the hall.
Gu Yinwei came out from the backyard. The tabby cat jumped off Chuchu and bowed to Gu Yinwei. "You're back. Go play."
The little tabby cat followed Chuchu to play with the fur ball, and Wei Junzhai lingered in front of the door of the Pepper Room Palace.
Chuchu hurriedly closed the hall door.
"It's still early, why are you closing the palace gates so early?"
"Is there a kidnapper outside?"
"Nonsense! How could a kidnapper possibly enter the palace?"
Gu Yinwei went out to see, and Wei Junzhai grinned and smiled at Gu Yin, and his laughter almost sent him away.
"Master, please behave like a human being. All you do is steal cats and dogs and force the little palace maid from Chaozhou to recite jingles."
"I help them correct their pronunciation, how can that be considered coercion?"
Gu Yinwei sneered: "Anyway, you are right."
"It's a matter of principle, not of manners. Come and pronounce the word 'snail noodles' with me, and pronounce it correctly."
"Chu Chu, quickly close the palace gate. The smell of snail noodles is wafting in."
"Hey, why are you cursing?"
"Did I scold you?"
Wei Junzhai pretended to be angry, and Chuchu took a step back with the bolt, thinking that he had gone far away.
Unexpectedly, Wei Junzhai came back and rushed into the Jiaofang Palace, holding the tabby cat and ran away.
"Meow."
The tabby cat's eyes were filled with tears, and it didn't want to go with the imperial teacher.
Chuchu was so angry that she threw the door bolt, but Wei Junzhai dodged it nimbly and walked away with the cat in his arms.
"Master, I said the little tabby cat wasn't lost. It turned out to be stolen by the Imperial Master."
"No hurry, no hurry."
"How can I not be anxious? Judging from the look on the Imperial Master's face, he doesn't want to come back at all."
"Chu Chu, what are you going to do?"
"Master, can we hire another kitten from Concubine Zhen?"
"Since Chuchu likes cats so much, of course you can hire another one."
Gu Yinwei wrote a letter of engagement, brought two jars of salt, and came to Changning Palace.
Zhen Fei and Xiao Yu were waiting outside the fenced yard for the flowers to bloom. When they saw Gu Yinwei, they grabbed her hand and ran to the backyard. "Gu Gengyi, come and see, they are about to bloom. You really didn't lie to me. You saved my flower."
Gu Yinwei sneezed suddenly, and Zhenfei quickly called Xiaoyu in to get the cloak.
"The autumn wind is cold, you should wear more clothes when you go out."
"Thank you, Empress Zhenfei, for the reminder."
Gu Yinwei looked at the ice talisman at the bottom of the flowerpot, and the smile on her face deepened.
This was the first time she used runes to help others. Gu Yinwei stood quietly, and Concubine Zhen called out, "Look up."
Gu Yinwei raised her neck, and Concubine Zhen personally helped her put on a cloak. The cloak was made of bird feathers, embroidered with flowers and gold edges, and looked very noble.
There is a faint floral scent on the cloak, which makes me think that this cloak must be a collection of Concubine Zhen.
Gu Yinwei explained the reason to Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen took Gu Yinwei to a group of newborn kittens. Chuchu looked at the kittens and was very happy at first, but then suddenly burst into tears, "Master, I don't want new kittens, I only want Little Lihua."
Concubine Zhen asked, "Is Little Lihua missing? I'll send someone to look for her right away."
"Empress Zhenfei can't be found. Little Lihua is not missing, but was kidnapped by the Imperial Master." Chuchu replied with tears in her voice.
Zhen Fei was helpless. "It's easy to say about normal people, but it's hard to say about Wei Junzhai. He is not a normal person at all."
Gu Yinwei asked, "What kind of person is Wei Junzhai?"
"He is both good and evil, very cunning and sly."
Gu Yinwei, her master and her two servants came out of Changning Palace. Qi Gengyi peeked in and hid not far away to spy.
Bian Tao was the first to notice her and looked back at her several times, so Qi Gengyi didn't follow her.
Gu Yinwei was tired from walking, so she sat down on a stone bench to catch her breath.
"The Imperial Garden at night is more beautiful than during the day."
"I think so too."
Chuchu and Biantao quietly stepped back, leaving Gu Yinwei and the emperor some space to be alone.
"I heard a cat was lost in the Pepper House?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the emperor's ears."
"Wei Junzhai has a peculiar personality, but he is loyal. My beloved concubine, please do not bother with him."
