Chapter 249 The Queen Mother and the Regent Who Became a Cat 10
The luxurious carriage set out from Yujing Garden and headed for the Regent's Palace.
On the way, we passed a bustling street market, with all kinds of hawking sounds and the aroma of snacks wafting into the carriage.
Cha Jiu stepped on the square soft cushion, scratched the edge of the car window with her front paws, stuck out her butt, and sniffed the sweet scent in the air with her nose.
"Tanghulu - so fragrant and sweet -" A peddler passed by with a pile of Tanghulu.
The cat's head followed the haystack stupidly from left to right, its eyes full of greed.
Zong Yue touched her head and said, "I want to eat."
Cha Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up and he jumped directly from the window into Zong Yue's arms.
The round cat head rubbed against his chest, and its little paws pressed his chest again and again as if trying to please him.
"Meow meow..." I want to eat it so much.
Such a servile look and such a quick change of expression made the system feel ashamed.
Is this the sales champion strength of the Lord God's world?
The face is detachable, it can be human or cat, sweet or even sweeter!
Zong Yue was amused by her and patted her head with his hand: "Why are you so arrogant that you just lie far away by the window when you can't take advantage of me? You want me to buy you food before you come over, right?"
Cha Jiu looked at him pitifully, Zong Yue's shadow clearly reflected in her big, round, glassy eyes.
It seemed as if he was the only one in her eyes.
Zong Yue was pleased.
"Stop."
Yun An came to the carriage window and asked, "My Lord, do you have any instructions?"
Zong Yue caressed Cha Jiu in his arms and combed her hair that was messed up by the wind, saying, "Go buy some Tanghulu. They should be clean."
But after he finished speaking, he felt uneasy again and changed his words: "Go buy the best sugar and hawthorns and ask him to make a string of them on the spot."
I don’t know what kind of sugar is used in those that have already been made, or whether it is rotten hawthorn.
It would be troublesome if Chajiu's stomach was upset by the food.
Although Yun An was surprised that the prince suddenly took a fancy to this street snack, he still did as he was told and rode his horse to chase the vendor selling candied haws.
The cat impatiently stepped on Zong Yue's chest.
So Zong Yue called Yun An back.
"My Lord, is there anything else you want to say?"
Zong Yue said simply: "Hurry up."
"..." Yun An: "Okay, Your Majesty."
After a cup of tea, Zong Yue had a crystal clear candied haws in his hand.
"Do you want to eat?" he teased the cat in his arms.
"Meow meow!" I want to eat, I want to eat!
Zong Yue curled his lips: "Come on, turn around and show me."
Cha Jiu: ""
I'm eating a candied haws and I still want to show my talent
Dog training
Adhering to the attitude that it's okay to act coquettishly but not to show off her skills, the cat master regained her dignity, jumped angrily to the corner farthest from Li Zongyue, lay down, and curled up into a ball with her back to him.
Zong Yue raised his eyebrows: "Angry"
Cha Jiu remained indifferent.
Zong Yue suppressed his laughter, leaned over and picked her up in his arms, and put the candied haws to her mouth: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, eat it."
At first, Cha Jiu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally he couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet aroma, so he opened his mouth and licked the candy shell.
So sweet, another bite.
But when she wanted to take a third lick, Zong Yue took the candied haws away.
"Okay, just taste it. I don't know if you can eat more."
Cha Jiu: “…”
Although Zong Yue didn't like sweets, he didn't like wasting food, so he ate the string of candied haws.
The sour, sweet and refreshing hawthorn burst between lips and teeth, mixed with the sweetness of bursting sugar shell, making Cha Jiu swallow his saliva.
She no longer cared about her modesty and went straight to Zong Yue's face!
Zong Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged her. Before he could say anything, the cat stretched out its pink and moist tongue and greedily licked the frosting on his lips.
Zong Yue wanted to pull her away.
But the soft paws held his neck tightly, and the wet nose rubbed his face lightly, making pleading whimpers.
——Let me eat too.
Zong Yue's eyes immediately appeared with the image of a beautiful woman with snow-skinned skin lying on the bed, her skin as white as jade and the scent of amber pear.
As if possessed by some strange force, he originally wanted to pull away Cha Jiu's big hand, but instead he held up her soft little butt, allowing her pink little tongue to lick his thin lips.
Adam's apple rolling.
His eyes were dark.
When there was no trace of sweetness on those lips anymore, Cha Jiu reluctantly left, jumped onto the soft mat at the side, and licked her paws which were still stained with icing sugar.
He didn't even look at Zong Yue.
Zong Yue, who was thrown away after being used, glared at her jokingly and cursed her with a smile: "Little ungrateful wolf."
Cha Jiu covered her ears and pretended not to hear.
…
Zong Yue sent someone back home early with a message, asking the housekeeper to hire a servant to take care of the cat, and to buy some clothes for the cat, as well as other things that might be used.
Boxes of small silk dresses were brought into the palace, together with all sorts of little playthings for the cats, all inlaid with precious stones.
Everyone in the palace was extremely surprised.
How beautiful and noble a cat must be to turn their serious and indifferent prince into a cat slave who spends a fortune just to make him laugh.
When Zong Yue carried Cha Jiu into the palace, everyone understood immediately.
Snow-white without a single messy hair, a cute and harmless face, and a pair of crystal clear eyes.
Being stared at by such a pair of innocent cat eyes like glass beads, even the most hard-hearted person would be unable to resist giving her the best things in the world.
Cha Jiu poked his head out of Zong Yue's arms and looked around the Regent's Palace curiously.
When the servants around saw her, they all tried hard to suppress their laughter and clenched their hands that wanted to stroke the cat.
Really, so so cute!
But there are some exceptions.
For example, Xiao Wei, who came from a remote border town and took refuge with Zong Yue, and her two children.
They looked at the cat in Zong Yue's arms with jealousy and disdain for the beast.
…
Xiao Wei was the younger sister of Zong Yue's mother, and therefore Zong Yue's aunt.
However, Zong Yue's mother had a low status in the palace and was unable to help the Wei family, so the Wei family had always been a family of minor officials, living far away in a small city in the south of the Yangtze River.
Three years ago, Xiao Wei's husband died, and the elders of the Wei family also died one after another, leaving her a widow without a natal family or a husband's family.
Although Zong Yue had not met or been close to this aunt, he still sent someone to help her and arranged a relatively prosperous life for them.
But Xiaowei's ambition goes far beyond this.
As soon as the three-year mourning period was over, she immediately brought her two children to Beijing, hoping that Zong Yue would arrange for her son Song Hui to be an official in the court.
As for his daughter Song Zhili, she naturally wanted to find a marriage with a wealthy family.
Zong Yue was holding a small piece of clothing for Cha Jiu to put on. When he heard Xiao Wei's request, his originally gentle expression suddenly became a little cold.
He slowly said, "I said three years ago that men from the Wei family should not serve as officials, and women should not marry into the capital. Too much wealth and fame is not necessarily a good thing. Living a prosperous life in Jiangnan is your best choice."
The clothes were too tight, and Cha Jiu took a long time to get out. She collapsed in Zong Yue's arms, panting.
Zong Yue was afraid of strangling her, so he picked up a pair of scissors and without hesitation cut the expensive dress into pieces, took it off, and put on a new one.
Xiao Wei looked at this with envy and felt dissatisfied.
They say that the Wei family is not suitable for excessive wealth and splendor, but Zong Yue lives in this magnificent palace, and even the things he feeds his animals are expensive!
He clearly holds great power, but he is unwilling to help support his mother's family!
Xiao Wei's son Song Hui was also very fond of those little trinkets inlaid with gemstones.
If these were converted into silver, it would be enough for him to stay on the houseboat of a famous prostitute in Jiangnan for several months.
Song Zhili's eyelids were not that shallow.
She had a gentle face and her watery eyes slightly raised. She secretly looked at Zong Yue, who had a gorgeous appearance and a reserved temperament, and had some plans in her mind.
Zong Yue finally changed Cha Jiu into a set of suitable and nice clothes.
The dark patterns of flower branches and clouds and the brocade with royal blue background look very noble.
And it just happened to match the dark blue robe on Zong Yue.
The system teased: "Hey, couple outfits."
Cha Jiu looked at her own clothes and then at Zong Yue's.
It is true.
The butler wanted to say something, but when he saw the smile on Zong Yue's lips, he shut up.
Nobles also pet cats and dogs and make clothes for them, but they will never let them wear clothes of the same color as themselves. After all, animals are always animals.
However... the prince seemed very happy, so there was no need for the butler to get involved.
Zong Yue still felt it was not enough, so he asked someone to bring a rare amber pendant and hang it around Cha Jiu's neck.
Now Cha Jiu looked even more noble.
She noticed that some of the Wei family members disliked her, so she deliberately jumped off Zong Yue's lap and walked slowly past them, showing off her new clothes and amber gem.
Sure enough, this made the other party jealous again.
Zong Yue saw through her childish intentions and tried to hide the smile that he couldn't suppress by drinking tea.
Seeing that Zong Yue was so nice to a little beast, Xiao Wei felt even more unwilling.
She continued to plead, "My Lord, a man can only be honored if he becomes an official. It is not a good thing to be content with a simple life of food and clothing."
"What's more, Zhili is beautiful, even more so than the ladies in the palace. It's really a waste of a pearl to give herself to those mediocre men in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River."
Zong Yue looked at her and said with a smile: "So you want your daughter to enter the palace and become your majesty's concubine in the future."
