It was getting dark outside the window, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky. The bright moonlight illuminated the gloom and sprinkled on the ground, trees, and flowers. The most dazzling one was the red red spider lily, which was the most conspicuous in itself. The dew on the petals at night reflected the moon, making the red spider lily look even more unique among all the flowers!
Ma Qingyi got out of bed and tried her best not to touch her injured ankle, and limped to the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
You know what, planting red spider lilies in this garden makes it more lively and less dead!
The quiet night and beautiful night view are the best ways to heal a person's soul.
Suddenly, an inappropriate sound was heard.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
Ma Qingyi touched her belly and rubbed it, thinking that she hadn't had dinner yet, it was all this prince's fault!
Wait! Could it be that the insect ate everything in her stomach and now has nothing to eat? Then wouldn't it be going to eat her kidneys next?
No, I need to go eat something. There should be no one in the kitchen now!
Ma Qingyi tiptoed to the kitchen. Fortunately, there was moonlight to accompany her, otherwise it would take who knows when she would find it!
Ma Qingyi opened the wooden lid of the pot and found nothing inside. She turned around and opened the steamer, and immediately smiled. There were still a few steamed buns. Ma Qingyi looked at the door, and after making sure that no one was coming, she quickly walked out with two steamed buns.
Just after closing the door and before turning around, Ma Qingyi was frightened by a "meow~meow~" and turned her head instantly. Seeing that it was the little black cat from last time, she took a deep breath and patted her pounding chest. All the hairs on her body stood up!
Ma Qingyi squatted down and stroked the kitten's head. The kitten purred comfortably and meowed as it rubbed against Ma Qingyi's shoes.
Ma Qingyi looked at its cute appearance, smiled, and said softly, "Aren't wild cats afraid of people nowadays?"
"Since we are so destined to meet, why don't I give you a name! Let's call you... Er Miao!" Ma Qingyi said excitedly.
The kitten's eyes widened obviously, and it was very unhappy: I, the dignified Prince Fu Qing, was treated as a cat by a little girl like you and called Er Miao!
Ma Qingyi took out the steamed buns she had placed beside her, snatched off a piece and handed it to the cat's mouth, saying pitifully, "You must be hungry to come here in the middle of the night, but who knew there would be no food in the prince's mansion, only these steamed buns. I am the eldest daughter of the Ma family, enjoying the best delicacies from land and sea every day, and now I am being abused by that mansion's prince and have to share the steamed buns that I usually don't even look at with a kitten! Daddy... I miss home so much. I miss the roast suckling pig, sour and vinegar fish, four-happiness meatballs, Dongpo pork, and my favorite... rice!"
The kitten yawned lazily, then squatted down and listened to her complaints boredly.
Ma Qingyi looked at its hopeless expression and said, "You're miserable too, wandering around outside every day and sneaking to Prince Fuqing's mansion at night to find food. Come with me from now on! I will treat you well! Just like... I treat Chunling!"
The kitten looked at her with disdain: You silly woman, I still need you to raise me.
Ma Qingyi picked it up and hurriedly ran to hide in the grass.
Wait, where are we going to carry him? What's wrong?
The kitten looked outside tentatively.
"I just heard voices here, why is there no one here?" The two patrolling guards stood with lanterns in their hands where Ma Qingyi had just been.
"I don't know! Maybe I heard it wrong," said another guard.
"Meow~ Meow~" the kitten suddenly called out.
Ma Qingyi looked at him in horror, put her index finger on her mouth and said "Shh!", warning him not to make any sound!
The two guards looked at each other, understood something, and left together!
When Ma Qingyi saw the two people leave, she picked it up again and rushed to her own garden.
He opened the door, put the cat on the ground, sat on a chair to drink water, and then picked up the steamed bun.
"It's too dangerous!" he said while eating steamed buns.
Ma Qingyi stood up suddenly, "Oh, Chunling hasn't eaten yet, I want to send it to her!"
Then he looked at Mo Yufeng lying on the ground, put on a smile, and stroked his fur. "You stay here obediently, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he left and closed the door.
Mo Yufeng changed back, glanced at Ma Qingyi's room, suddenly a wicked arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he opened the door and left.
After Ma Qingyi came back, she felt that the room was empty. She discovered that the cat was missing, so she looked for it everywhere, calling "Er Meow, Er Meow". When she found that she couldn't find it, she simply accepted her fate, ate and drank her fill, and fell asleep comfortably!
------
In the early morning, Ma Qingyi was still sleeping soundly when she was woken up by Chunling's constant nagging. Ma Qingyi had messy hair and dark circles under her eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chunling with resentment.
"Miss, what happened to you yesterday?" Chun Ling asked worriedly, trying not to laugh.
"I tossed and turned for half the night yesterday and only slept for a while in the early morning, and you woke me up, dear Chunling, let me sleep a little longer!... We won't live long anyway, so just let me die in my sleep!" Ma Qingyi fell on the bed and closed her eyes.
"Miss, do you want to leave in your sleep or leave while enjoying delicious food?" Chunling said with interest.
Ma Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. "What do you mean?"
"Uncle Hong sent a lot of food this morning, all of which are your favorite!" Chun Ling said even more excitedly when she saw Ma Qingyi's reaction.
"Uncle Hong...Who is Uncle Hong?"
"That's the old man!"
Ma Qingyi was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "I want to wash up!"
"Okay!" Chunling ran out.
After washing her face, brushing her teeth, combing her hair and dressing up, Chunling helped her to the door.
Hong Yi was seen standing at the door with a smile, followed by seven or eight maids, each holding a plate in their hands.
Hong Yi saw Ma Qingyi and lowered his head, "Princess, you're awake! Can we start breakfast?"
"Of course!... Just put it on my table!" Ma Qingyi's eyes were always on the covered food, and she was swallowing her saliva.
Hong Yi waved his hand, and the maid put the food on the table and then left.
"Princess, these are all prepared by the prince for you. I hope you enjoy them! I will withdraw!"
After Hong Yi left, Ma Qingyi excitedly opened all the lids, but suddenly stopped and looked at the dishes on the table.
Roast suckling pig, sour and vinegar fish, four-happiness meatballs, Dongpo pork, and... rice!
These were really all her favorite foods, and she mentioned it yesterday. How did he know that she liked these!
Chun Ling looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong, Miss? Don't you like it?" and then stretched her neck to look.
I like them all!
