"aim--"
None of the concubines came today. I heard that they went to participate in some sacrificial ceremony.
Xiao Ruyu was still young and was placed in the palace by the Queen to be taken care of by palace maids.
[Hey, there seems to be a cat's meow. ]
Xiao Ruyu had just woken up and stretched when she was attracted by the sound of a cat's meow.
It’s a pity that she is still so young that she can’t even turn over and sit up. She can only struggle and rock in the cradle.
Ever since Eleven lost the little princess last time, he has not dared to slack off at all and stays by Xiao Ruyu's side every day.
Just now, Nanny Cui said that she would go get something while the princess was asleep and come back soon.
Eleven walked from outside the door to inside the house.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his ears were more sensitive than those of ordinary people, so he immediately noticed the movement from the cradle and walked over immediately.
"Princess, you're awake!"
[Wow, Xiao Shiyi, you are such a good person. Can you pick me up? I want to go see the cats.]
When Xiao Ruyu saw Xiao Shiyi's face, she smiled instantly.
But she kept babbling for a long time, and Xiao Eleven didn't know what she was saying and was confused.
[Woo woo woo, Xiao Shiyi, Xiao Shiyi, I want to go see the cats, do you understand? ]
Xiao Ruyu wanted to cry. She wanted to grow up so that she could at least learn to speak. This way she could express her thoughts and make Eleven understand her.
The expression on her face was bitter, as if she was about to cry.
Xiao Shiyi immediately reached out and patted her chest in panic: "Little Princess, don't cry, don't cry——"
The little princess I had seen before was always smiling, but this was the first time I saw her with tears in her eyes, and I was immediately panicked.
[I want to go see the cat, I want to go see the cat——]
At this moment, another shout was heard from outside, interrupting Xiao Ruyu's babbling.
Little Eleven pricked up his ears and listened, then carefully observed Xiao Ruyu's expression, and immediately understood that the little princess wanted to go see the cat.
"Princess, please wait for a moment. I will bring the cat over and show it to you!"
As expected, Xiao Shiyi is smart. He knew what she was thinking so quickly. No, not only is he smart, he is also considerate.
[This little Eleven is not only smart, but also considerate. He also brings me good luck and nourishes my spiritual power.]
Xiao Ruyu was still happily thinking of all the words to praise Eleven.
Then I heard the door creak and someone pushed it open from the outside.
[Who is it? The one who stole the child? ]
Xiao Ruyu secretly said in her heart that no one in the storybook would steal her plot.
Soon the figure walked up to her. The face was very plain and he looked very young and his appearance was not fully grown yet.
【She is Concubine Le. 】
Xiao Ruyu thought about it in his mind and immediately confirmed it.
She remembered that Concubine Le had just entered the palace not long ago, and had not even served in the emperor's bed once. She herself did not want to enter the palace, but her father used coercion and bribery to send her to the palace in order to curry favor with Prime Minister Lu, hoping to help Concubine Li consolidate her favor.
However, Concubine Li was jealous and would not allow anyone to gain the emperor's favor under her nose, so she was drugged as soon as she entered the palace. The red rashes all over her body did not subside for a long time, and naturally she never served the emperor in bed.
Until now, because Concubine Li was sent to the cold palace and no one was poisoning her, the rash on her face disappeared and she returned to her original appearance.
"You must be the little princess, wow, you look so pretty!"
Concubine Le looked at Xiao Ruyu with curiosity. Everyone said that the little princess was cute and a blessed person, so she wanted to come too.
But she was Concubine Li's person, and her sisters were unwilling to pay attention to her, and she was too embarrassed to come to see the Queen.
In fact, the main reason was that he was thin-skinned and was afraid of being kicked out by the queen.
[This Le Fei seems to be just like in the storybook, very innocent and easy to deceive. ]
[She remembered that Concubine Le had an affair with some imperial guard and was sentenced to death! ]
Tsk tsk, thinking of this, Xiao Ruyu suddenly felt a little pity for her.
"Who are you--"
A childish boy's voice came out, which scared Le Fei. She subconsciously hid aside: "I, I am Le Fei, I just came to see, uh, to find the cat."
"aim--"
The kitten in Eleven's arms suddenly cried out at the right time, as if to confirm what its owner said.
Eleven looked at her doubtfully, without putting down the kitten in his arms. He walked to the side of the little princess, looking at Concubine Le with the attitude of a guardian, and then asked, "Is this your cat?"
When Concubine Le heard him ask, she was a little unsure. She carefully looked at the snow-white Persian cat in the child's arms before answering, "It's my cat."
"What's its name?" Eleven asked.
"Dudu, its name is Dudu." Le Fei answered timidly. Although the child in front of her was only about six or seven years old, the tone of his questioning her was quite sharp, which made people a little scared.
[Let me see, let me see——]
Xiao Ruyu saw Xiao Eleven standing in front of her. Because her back was facing the sound, she could only barely see the cat's side.
[Ahhh, I can't even see your face, Xiao Shiyi, I take back the compliments I just made about you.]
You know, she loved cats in her previous life, and those cute little kittens were simply her lifeblood.
Now that a kitten has finally appeared in the palace, she is extremely excited.
"Don't worry, little princess. I brought it here just to show you!"
Hearing the anxious babbling behind him, Little Eleven immediately realized that the little princess was waiting to see the cat.
[Too far, too far, I can’t even touch it! ]
Xiao Ruyu stretched out her little hand hard, wanting to touch the cat's furry fur, but couldn't.
【Ahhhhh, she’s going to cry. 】
"The little princess is still young and cannot touch the cat. Take it away quickly."
Outside, Nanny Cui had just come back with something and immediately spoke in panic.
"Children's nasal cavities are sensitive, which can easily cause coughing." Seeing the puzzled look on Eleven's face, she explained. After all, the little guard in front of him is the adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. With such a high status, he must be respected.
Just as she finished speaking, she realized that there was a girl standing next to her. She looked at her carefully and immediately knelt on the ground: "This servant greets Concubine Le."
Eleven belatedly followed suit and saluted.
In this way, Le Fei felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "I, I just came here to look for the cat."
"I, I'm leaving first." She reached out and snatched her cat from Eleven's hand, then ran away in a panic.
[Ahhhh, my cat, my favorite cat——]
When Queen Duan came back, she heard her daughter mumbling about looking for a cat, and she was very puzzled.
She carefully asked Nanny Cui about what happened today and found out that it was Concubine Le who had come.
"What is she doing here?"
The Queen was somewhat puzzled. Although Concubine Le was young, she was sent here by Prime Minister Lu and belonged to Concubine Li's faction. They had never had much contact with each other.
"I don't know either. She said her cat was lost and she came to look for it."
[Mother, mother, Concubine Le is also a pitiful person. She has no bad intentions. She is not in the same group as Concubine Li. She has never harmed anyone. When I was arrogant and domineering, she reminded me to be careful about my words and actions.]
[And later, Concubine Le was killed by Concubine Li. She deliberately sent the imperial guards to seduce Concubine Le, making Concubine Le think that the guards really liked her, but in fact they were just using her. Later, she was sentenced to death by her father. ]
Xiao Ruyu said anxiously beside him.
Although she didn't touch the cat today, she felt Le Fei's kindness and love for her, and she had a feeling that she would be able to enter the space soon.
So she felt that she needed to explain for Concubine Le.
But she is still young and can't speak.
[Alas, I don’t know if my mother can really tell that Concubine Le is a good person! ]
