Chapter 61 Cute animals
The moment the cat sees its own kind, the light in its eyes is like stars in the dark night.
Yun Fu looked at the cat making such a cute gesture against her face and couldn't help but stretch her head over to rub the back of its hand.
Wei Rong, who was sitting diagonally opposite, had been secretly observing the girl's location.
Looking at her with her head lowered, the pearl hairpin on her head swayed with her movements, and under the table was something even more adorable.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, and he picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip.
The sweet osmanthus wine seemed sweeter than any I had ever tasted before, so sweet that it was a bit greasy.
Just then, a sharp cry came from the door.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived—"
The young emperor, dressed in a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns, entered Minghe Garden surrounded by ceremonial guards.
Next to the emperor was a woman in a luxurious purple palace robe. This person was the emperor's mother, the empress dowager of the current dynasty, and also the protagonist of this banquet.
Empress Dowager Song was surrounded by jewels and jade, and the golden phoenix on her head emitted a restrained and heavy golden light under the reflection of the palace lanterns. Her well-maintained face was a white and fair complexion sculpted by years of luxury, but it did not have the freshness of a young girl. Her face was made up, and her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, but the beauty of her youth could still be seen.
When the Emperor and the Empress Dowager took their seats, the whole audience fell silent and stood up in unison.
When Ji Chenghe passed by the position of the Minister of Personnel, he paused and looked at the man standing behind Minister Ning.
Wei Rong noticed the emperor's glance and looked over at him expressionlessly.
Ji Chenghe immediately withdrew his gaze and climbed onto the Guanlan Terrace as if he didn't see anything.
Yun Fu also took advantage of the time when everyone stood up to greet and quickly slipped back under Wei Rong's table.
To let someone know that he was back, he stretched out his paw and patted the man's leg.
This time, he deliberately retracted his claws and did not tear Wei Rong's clothes.
Wei Rong had been secretly observing the movements of a certain little creature, so she naturally knew that she had run back.
After the emperor and the empress dowager sat down, all the ministers performed the ceremony according to the etiquette, in unison, and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.
Ji Chenghe sat majestically, with a faint smile on his handsome face, appearing friendly and happy to share the joy with his ministers.
"Everyone, please stand up. There's no need to be so formal. Please take your seats."
The ministers thanked him and took their seats again.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department made a long announcement, and the princes and envoys from various countries entered the garden and knelt down to pay homage.
Looking at such a luxurious and elegant garden and the young emperor sitting on the high platform, the envoys all had an idea.
Although King Cheng and King Qi were royal relatives, they still had to perform all the necessary etiquette.
King Cheng looked at the emperor sitting on the high platform, and the gloom in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Just a little bit... just a little bit... the person sitting in that seat is him!
What King Cheng could not accept the most was that a prince who was sent as a hostage finally ascended the throne. It was obvious that his elder brother was dead, so he was the most suitable one!
The crown prince and other princes were deposed one after another, and he was about to ascend the throne and be admired by thousands of people, but unexpectedly, an unremarkable Ji Chenghe appeared halfway.
It was all because he underestimated the enemy and thought that an uneducated and incompetent prince posed no threat, which led to his huge setback.
He took great pains to get rid of Wei Rong, and originally thought that he could easily control the little emperor. He never expected that Ji Chenghe was not only harmless as he looked, but he was also not just a fool who relied on Wei Rong.
Yes, Wei Rong is a man who is very arrogant. How could the emperor he respects be a good person?
Ji Chenghe raised his wine cup and drank with the ministers. When his eyes met the gloomy gaze of his good uncle King Cheng, he smiled at him and raised the wine cup in his hand.
The provocative meaning is self-evident.
King Cheng almost crushed the porcelain cup in his hand, but he could only return it with a smile on his face.
The other princes sitting in the same row with King Cheng naturally noticed the tension between the emperor and King Cheng.
The palace servants moved around the banquet like flowing water, their movements light and agile, well-trained, adding wine, serving dishes, and changing utensils.
In the central venue, dancers are dressed in colorful feathered clothes, with dancing sleeves and graceful postures.
Yun Fu looked at the dancers' fluttering sleeves, and her cat-like nature of catching things was aroused.
Looking at the swinging sleeves, I wanted to pounce on her and knock her down.
Yun Fu thought that if she was like this, the cat in her body would definitely be tempted.
Looking at the seat diagonally opposite, I saw the girl in the goose yellow dress with her eyes wide open, staring intently at the dancer's waving sleeves.
Wei Rong held down a cat that was sitting stiffly with his big hand, fearing that it would really run out of control.
He looked at the cat in his arms, then at the girl not far away.
The man and the cat moved in surprisingly consistent steps.
There are two such cute creatures, and he encountered them both.
It’s something that others can’t even envy.
After the palace music performance, it was soon time to present birthday gifts to the Queen Mother.
This part was a bit boring for Yun Fu. She could only lie in Wei Rong's arms out of boredom, stretching her paws and flipping her belly from time to time.
Soon, the palace servants replaced the food that was about to cool down with other steaming hot dishes.
The fresh and fragrant smell entered Yunfu's nose.
But in this fresh and fragrant smell, Yun Fu smelled a subtle scent.
Wei Rong was looking at the milky white fish soup in front of him. Just as he was about to scoop out a bowl to let it cool, a furry claw appeared on the back of his hand.
"Meow~" Don't drink it, there's something wrong with this soup.
Seeing this, Wei Rong still did not slow down his movements. He just put the scooped soup aside and did not reach out to touch it.
I looked up and glanced around, and found that there was the same fish soup on every table.
Yun Fu noticed Wei Rong's action and looked around. Sure enough, this fish soup was available on every table.
Yun Fu went closer to the fish soup and sniffed it carefully, trying to identify it.
There was indeed medicine in the soup, but it was just a mild cartilage powder, which would not be life-threatening.
His eyes fell on King Cheng, who was sitting below the emperor.
He was spineless at the banquet and even did something crazy. It seems that King Cheng has gone crazy.
Yun Fu couldn't help but shake her head. If you force yourself to have something that is not yours, it will turn into obsession. If the obsession is too deep, you will lose the ability to think.
Look, King Cheng is a good example.
Obviously, he was preparing to burn his boats, but he never thought that his every move was already calculated by others.
Yun Fu knew that Maomao would look at her from time to time.
So when the cat looked at her again, Yun Fu patted the porcelain pot of fish soup with her paw and shook her head.
The cat hesitated for a moment, then imitated the actions of its peers, touching the fish soup pot and shaking its head.
This action happened to be seen by Lv Fanglin who was serving fish soup nearby. She thought Fu'er didn't want to drink the fish soup anymore, so she stopped serving her and asked softly, "Is there anything else you want to eat? Your aunt will serve you."
The cat seemed to understand the instructions given to it by its fellow cats and shook its head firmly.
Then he reached out and pushed the can of fish soup aside, indicating that it should be taken away.
Zhu Yuxi was a little curious. Why didn’t her cousin, who usually loved drinking fish soup, drink it tonight?
Looking at the milky white fish soup in the bowl, the fresh and fragrant aroma wafts in continuously.
Did I eat a little too much just now?
Zhu Yuxi prepared to taste it to see if the soup tasted bad.
Just as she reached out to scoop the soup, a small, fair hand appeared on her wrist and held her down.
Zhu Yuxi turned around and saw her cousin staring at her with a pair of round eyes.
Something poked her heart at that moment, and Zhu Yuxi almost couldn't help but pull such a lovely cousin into her arms and rub her.
Why in the world is there such a beautiful, cute and adorable thing as my cousin!!!
