Chapter 45 Come to see me specially?
"Bring some food here and I'll feed it." Cheng Nianying stretched out her hand towards the old woman who was in charge of feeding the raccoon.
The old woman had originally worked as a handyman in the outer courtyard, but was summoned to the inner courtyard because of her skill in raising a raccoon. And who was raising this raccoon for? It was raised for the Princess of the County.
The old woman was different from the palace maids who came out of the imperial palace. She was very attentive to Cheng Nianying and hurried to get a plate of food for her.
"Use this, so as not to dirty the master's hands, and also to prevent the beast from accidentally biting the master." The old woman handed over a gilded palm-sized clamp.
Mother Zou frowned secretly. This woman was clever, but only half clever. If it was something the master wanted to raise, how could it be called a beast?
Mother Zou looked at Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying didn't blame the old woman. She just stared at the clamp for a few seconds and said, "No need."
Then he pinched some minced meat and fed it to the kitten.
The kitten lay on the hem of her skirt, arched its head and bit hard. Its tiny teeth pressed against Cheng Nianying's fingertips. How could it feel pain?
Cheng Nianying pulled her hand away, then lifted the kitten up in her palm, stood up, and turned her head, all in one go, as if she was casually looking into the distance.
…Someone was watching her.
From now on.
Cheng Nianying's eyes wandered over the courtyard wall and the osmanthus trees planted outside the wall. Finally, she raised her eyes slightly and met Fu Yi's eyes in the building.
Fu Yi smiled at her calmly.
What was he doing there? Cheng Nianying's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled a little.
Did the prefect of Beijing find out something and was telling him the details there?
Cheng Nianying immediately took two hurried steps forward, then stopped, then looked up at Fu Yi again, staring at him, motionless.
This is the signal sent.
She wanted to come see him.
Wu Xun was standing aside, tidying up the empty bowl that he had specially placed for the emperor to see. When he suddenly glanced at it, he was shocked.
I just felt that the two steps the Princess took forward in a hurry just now bumped directly into the hearts of those who were watching.
Wu Xun clenched his back teeth tightly, thinking that maybe the candied fruit he had that day was bad!
"I want to see you?" Wu Xun said.
She was wearing a light pink dress today, her hair was tied up loosely, and her eyes and eyebrows were bright when she smiled. It was hard to refuse her.
"Well, let her come." Fu Yi responded.
Wu Xun was stunned. Although I couldn't bear to refuse, you really didn't refuse.
At this time, Cheng Nianying had already walked out of the courtyard with the kitten in her arms. Mother Zou didn't understand what was happening and hurriedly followed: "What's wrong? Where is the Princess going?"
Cheng Nianying turned around and said, "Take that plate of food with you."
Mother Zou didn't have time to ask any questions, so she hurriedly took it from the old woman and followed her.
Cheng Nianying walked out of the yard, forward, around the lush osmanthus trees, and came to the front of the building.
There was a guard in front of the building, and he immediately bowed and saluted when he saw her.
"Is the prince in there?" Cheng Nianying finally spoke.
The guard was wondering what words to use to politely refuse.
Wu Xun's voice rang out along with the sound of footsteps: "Yes, the prince ordered his subordinates to come and pick up the princess."
Cheng Nianying happily followed him into the room, causing the others to secretly look at each other, and their judgment of the Princess's status in their hearts suddenly rose again.
It is not easy to build a tall building, but this building is six stories high. After walking in, I found that it looks more like a pagoda.
There are Buddha statues on each floor.
The Buddha was also sculpted to be tall, and when he lowered his head and brows, he looked more terrifying than kind.
Cheng Nianying walked hurriedly, passed through the flying prayer flags, and finally saw Fu Yi again.
The man hadn't worn his hair in a pin today, and wore a white robe, half of which was embroidered with dense black Sanskrit characters, which firmly suppressed the gentle white. He sat against the light, and for a moment he gave the impression of being no different from the towering Buddha statue.
Mother Zou was so frightened that she instinctively stopped.
But Cheng Nianying had already walked briskly in front of him.
"Who came just now?" Cheng Nianying spoke first.
Fu Yi raised his eyes slightly, and only then did a little light fall on his brow.
"Did you see it?"
Cheng Nianying pointed to the stool that hadn't been removed yet: "Look. Didn't someone come here before?"
Fu Yi: "It was His Majesty who came."
"Is it because of the search in the mansion?"
"Um."
Fu Yi didn't want to say more, but Cheng Nianying wanted to ask more. But there were some things you couldn't ask directly... Cheng Nianying held the kitten in her palm and showed it to Fu Yi.
"Grown up a bit."
Fu Yi raised the end of his eyebrows slightly.
He thought she would be more concerned with other things.
Fu Yi nodded in agreement: "Yes, it has grown quite a bit. Did you bring it here specially for me to see?"
Cheng Nianying turned around and waved to Mother Zou: "Bring the plate over here."
Mother Zou then moved her stiff feet: "Hey."
When she got closer, her throat was still a little tight and she didn't dare to look directly at Fu Yi.
Cheng Nianying took the plate and placed it next to Fu Yi: "Do you want to feed it? It's very interesting."
Fu Yi: "Very interesting?"
"Well, it will be very happy, making a very soft purring sound and nudging your palm with its head. Its teeth are very small, and when they grind against your fingers, it just feels itchy..."
Fu Yi listened to her and immediately looked at her face.
Speaking of little kittens, it makes people have other associations.
Cheng Nianying: "Want to try it?"
"Try it." Fu Yi washed his hands.
Wu Xun knew that his master didn't like dirt, so he hesitated to speak. He watched Fu Yi reach out and pick up some minced meat.
Cheng Nianying squatted down and placed the kitten on Fu Yi's legs.
The kitten took two unsteady steps and nodded its head twice.
Before Fu Yi fed him, he felt a very light, barely noticeable... warmth on his legs.
His movements froze.
Cheng Nianying raised her head: "What's wrong?"
Fu Yi: “…”
Wu Xun also noticed something was wrong and hurried closer to take a look. He saw a small, barely noticeable wet mark on the hem of his master's clothes.
Wu Xun was greatly shocked.
Wu Xun didn't dare to speak.
Cheng Nianying blinked, reached out to pick up the kitten again, and saw...
She didn't know what to say, so she just said, "It wasn't intentional."
Fu Yi: “…………”
Fu Yi slowly moved his arm, spread out his five fingers, and the minced meat on his fingertips fell back onto the plate with a plop.
"Bad boys don't get any meat."
He stood up and lowered his head to meet the eyes of the kitten in Cheng Nianying's palm.
He was still smiling, but Mother Zou couldn't even breathe properly.
