Wu Lingzhu didn't say much about Xiaodunzi's matter.
For now, Xiaodunzi is still quite useful. Since they've gone to so much trouble to arrange this, Wulingzhu has no objection to getting a good servant for free.
Chunying isn't stupid; even if she thinks Xiaodunzi is alright, she won't treat him as a confidant.
However, after glancing at Su Bai, she had some ideas in mind. She said to Chun Ying, "When Xiao Dunzi comes back, have him come to see me."
"Yes, Princess."
"I brought a lot of money from home. Don't be reluctant to spend it. Use it to make more friends."
"Yes, Princess."
Consort De's success taught her that the abilities of people from lower classes should not be underestimated, and that connections can be provided by family or cultivated by oneself.
Although she looked shabby, she was at least the Empress's sister. When she entered the palace, her family gave her a dowry according to the rank of a concubine. Some items that could not be brought into the palace were converted into money and given to her.
This time, the Hesheli family was quite willing to invest in her.
They probably didn't expect that the Crown Prince would distrust her because of the people around him, and also because Kangxi would always take his anger out on her.
After Chunying left, Wulingzhu hugged Su Bai and said, "Bai Bai, can you do me a favor?"
What do you want me to do for you?
"You must know a lot of cats, right? Could you keep an eye on someone for me?"
[who? ]
"Little Dunzi, you'll know who it is when he gets here."
Although she knew Xiaodunzi was unfaithful, it was too late when she realized it, and she never knew whose side Xiaodunzi was on until her death.
Many empresses in the Forbidden City kept cats. Some cat owners were very strict with their feline overlords, while others were allowed to roam freely. Su Bai actually knows quite a few cats.
Su Bai thought that if they knew that there were humans who could understand them, they would be very surprised, just like he was at the beginning.
He shouldn't be the only one who embarrasses himself.
It's just that keeping an eye on a person is troublesome for humans, but it's really nothing for cats.
[Okay, I have many friends. There's practically no cat in the entire Forbidden City that I, Su Bai, don't know.]
Hearing this boastful tone, Wu Lingzhu couldn't help but laugh; raising a cat really is fun.
"Our Bai Bai is really amazing, so great! Bai Bai is the most capable and talented cat in the entire Forbidden City. I'll have someone prepare some dried fish for you later..."
A barrage of praise poured out, making Su Bai overjoyed. The cat lay down comfortably, exposing its little belly, and meowed incessantly.
So cute, and so heartwarming.
Su Bai was full of energy after receiving Wu Lingzhu's praise. After learning what Xiao Dunzi looked like, she sniffed around him before leaving. Although she was a cat, her sense of smell was very sensitive, and she could distinguish people by their scent, which was even more useful than her sight.
Xiaodunzi: "Princess, the servant has found out that this cat belongs to Consort Duanshun. However, it is usually allowed to roam freely and often wanders around some empty palace rooms."
The cats in the palace are much smarter than the cats outside. They don't go to crowded places much, except in special circumstances, of course.
Looking at Xiaodunzi, who was about the same age, thin but with bright eyes, Wu Lingzhu smiled and said, "It's kind of you to find out about this cat's origin in such a short time."
Then, she changed the subject and asked, "How old are you this year? How many years have you been in the palace? Do you still have any family members?"
“This servant is thirteen years old and has been in the palace for six years. There is no one left in my family. This servant was abducted by human traffickers and went through many twists and turns to enter the palace.”
"Where did you work before?"
"This servant used to work in the flower room."
Wu Lingzhu nodded: "Chunying, take good care of Xiaodunzi. Since he is a member of Chuxiu Palace, don't let anyone bully him."
Chunying replied, "Yes, Princess."
Xiao Dunzi knelt on the ground: "This servant thanks Master for his appreciation, thank you for your appreciation."
The change of address was swift and decisive, and the kneeling was even more solid.
After Xiaodunzi left, Chunying asked, "What does Princess think of Xiaodunzi?"
"Having been in the palace for six years, and now at thirteen, from the flower room to the Chuxiu Palace, do you really think someone like that would be bullied to the point of being powerless to fight back?"
Chunying had just entered the palace and knew nothing about eunuchs. She was taken aback and said, "Princess, this servant doesn't quite understand."
“He entered the palace too early. If he didn’t have anyone backing him, he would have grown up to be shrewd and wouldn’t have let himself be bullied.”
A flicker of realization crossed Chunying's eyes, followed by guilt and anger: "It's all my fault. I almost let him take advantage of the situation. I will make sure he suffers a terrible fate."
"It's alright. It's a good thing that he jumped out. Treat him the same way you treated him before. This kind of person must have been arranged to play an important role. Now that we are weak and alone, having someone who can run errands and is loyal will make things easier for you."
Upon hearing this, Chunying felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her master was still thinking of her at this time.
"This servant will obey Your Highness."
With Xiaodunzi running errands, Chunying's daily life became much easier.
Su Bai has already asked his cat friends to keep an eye on Xiao Dunzi, but there are no results yet. Nothing major is happening around Wu Lingzhu, so Xiao Dunzi usually won't contact his "upstream" contacts.
Wu Lingzhu also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.
However, she wasn't in a hurry.
[My friends heard that some humans can understand cats' speech, and they're very curious about you; they all want to come and see you.]
Wu Lingzhu quickly stopped him, scaring him: "Don't do anything reckless. If people find out that we've all come to Chuxiu Palace, something bad will happen. Be careful that someone notices something is wrong and we'll all go to see the King of Hell together."
Nowadays, people are most averse to matters of ghosts and gods.
[I didn't agree, don't worry, but they are genuinely curious about you.]
