Wang Quan was still doing things for money.
The next day, Yinzhen had Su Peisheng bring over a cage.
"Here, I picked it out for you a long time ago, and brought it to you only after I had it tamed."
Changning was pleasantly surprised and quickly opened the cage to observe the cat.
As she had described, it was indeed a breed with snow-white fur all over its body. The most beautiful feature was its eyes, with blue pupils that gave it a noble and aloof appearance.
Perhaps because it's only three or four months old, the kitten is quite lively. It was meowing as soon as it was taken out of the cage, which melted everyone's heart.
Changning is a looks-oriented person, and was immediately stunned by her beauty.
"So beautiful, Tuantuan, little Tuantuan, you look just like a glutinous rice ball." Changning held the white cat and teased it, not wanting to blink.
Tuantuan has a somewhat aloof personality, but she is quite affectionate towards Changning, who has a cub-like scent. Before long, she will jump onto Changning's lap and purr.
Changning stroked Tuantuan's long fur again and again, feeling very satisfied. Seeing her enjoying herself with her eyes half-closed, she couldn't help but chuckle. She scratched her chin, and sure enough, she felt even more comfortable, her tail swaying leisurely.
We need to find someone to take care of Tuan Tuan full-time.
Changning suddenly thought of Yuzhu.
She originally had four second-class maids. Yu Xia was skilled in needlework and specialized in embroidery and making clothes. Yu Lan was gentle in nature but actually determined and opinionated; she was currently taking care of the second princess, Hu Tu Li. Yu Qiu was meticulous and steady in her work; she was currently responsible for taking care of the third prince, Feng Sheng E.
As for Yuzhu, Changning coldly observed that this girl possessed a strong sense of passion; in other words, she was exceptionally ambitious and competitive. However, the positions of first-class maids around Changning were already filled, and everyone had their own duties, so she had no choice but to take a subordinate position.
However, she is loyal and capable, so we'll give her a chance.
“From now on, let Yuzhu take care of Tuantuan. Yuxia, make some clothes for Tuantuan and have Zhao Fuhai tell Xiaokangzi to make a cat tree.”
Changning also just discovered that Xiaokangzi was actually a craftsman.
His family lived by the sea, so he was skilled in fishing, catching fish, and raising fish. He also learned carpentry from his grandfather. Therefore, he could do various carpentry jobs.
Xiao Kangzi received the order and worked with great enthusiasm.
Originally, he was just a servant who looked after turtles. Although his master would admire them, he didn't stare at the tank every day. Now that he could win his master's favor with his skills, he definitely had to perform well.
But what is this cat tree?
Yinzhen also expressed his doubts.
Seeing that Yinzhen had some free time, Changning decided to pull him over to do the hard work. Changning introduced the cat tree and asked Yinzhen to draw the diagram.
"This shelf is mainly for cats to sharpen their claws, so the wood used for making it must be carefully selected. It shouldn't be sanded too smooth or too rough, or it might hurt Tuantuan."
"The cat tree can be made a little taller, about the height of a person. It should be shaped like a tree with multiple branches, like a tatami mat, so she can lie on it to rest and sleep. If you make it with multiple tiers, she can jump up and down as well."
Changning only described a rough outline based on her memory, while Yinzhen sketched the shape in his mind and quickly drew it, adding some details as well.
For example, a sturdier base is needed at the bottom to increase stability. A small house is also drawn next to the branches. Yinzhen's idea is very similar to building a tree hole. He also added a lot of decorations, such as dried flowers and ruyi patterns.
In short, when Changning saw the finished product, he was so surprised that he was speechless. It was just too perfect.
Simply put, Changning treated it as a toy for her pet, but Yinzhen and Xiaokangzi upgraded it to a royal building.
Changning then realized what it meant for a max-level player to dominate the newbie village.
Tuantuan clearly liked it too, often jumping around on it, and rarely even visiting Changning's bed anymore.
After spending time together, Changning realized that Tuantuan was a proud and aloof cat, and also a beauty icon.
Yu Xia insisted on making large, soft cushions with top-quality Suzhou embroidery, embroidered with little goldfish, before she would even deign to look at them. The same applied to her small clothes.
Tuantuan's favorite color is light pink, followed by pale yellow; nothing else suits her.
On ordinary days, she would also dine with Changning at the same time, and she would be carried to sit next to Changning at the dining table, as noble and elegant as the Third Princess of the mansion.
Although serving Tuantuan was like serving a young master, everyone in Qingzhi Courtyard, including Yinzhen, the eldest prince and the eldest princess in the main courtyard, all liked her very much.
With Tuantuan around, the two little ones in the main courtyard have been coming even more frequently.
They would often come over first to hug Tuantuan, stroke her fur, and kiss her, and then groom her before going to see her younger siblings.
At this time, Tuantuan would reappear. Changning's own twins, a boy and a girl, were also very happy to see Tuantuan, babbling incessantly.
Next, Tuantuan will proudly accept everyone's praise like a star, and then reward each person with a sticker. When she is very happy, she will even turn over and let you touch her belly.
Even someone as cold-faced as Yinzhen would secretly pet the cat a couple of times behind Changning's back.
When Changning turns around, he will pretend that nothing has happened, except that there are a lot of white fur on his sleeves.
Tuan Tuan wagged its tail twice, knowing full well what was going on but saying nothing.
With two children, plus Tuantuan, Changning feels that time flies by even faster.
Children change very quickly, and both of them had unusually good appetites. Their wet nurse took good care of them, so they are now chubby and their arms are like lotus root segments.
Sometimes Changning would dress them in red clothes embroidered with gold auspicious patterns, making them look like little fairy boys under the seat of Guanyin.
Of course, this complimentary metaphor was used by Zhao Fuhai.
Feng Sheng'e was exceptionally lively and active, and was extremely restless whether standing, sitting, or lying down.
He's only seven months old, and he's already crawling all over the place with his older sister. If you're not careful, he can crawl to the edge of the bed, like a little rascal.
This metaphor was used by Changning himself.
Just as Fengsheng'e and Hutu were climbing up and down everywhere, fighting with Tuantuan for the cat tree and being even more unruly than Tuantuan, the end of the year was approaching.
This year is different from last year; Changning is going to enter the palace.
Although Changning had never met Consort De, every time the Fujin entered the palace, she would bring gifts that Consort De had given to the Empress. Sometimes it was a box of pastries, sometimes it was wine she had brewed herself, and sometimes it was some Western gadgets that her third brother Changxing had acquired through his business.
Therefore, Consort De still had a good impression of her, especially since she had given birth to such a lively and adorable pair of grandchildren.
Because the twins had been given special attention by Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhen brought the children, along with Honghui and Yierha, to the palace on New Year's Eve this year.
