Chapter 452 Extra - Naming Ayan
Ye Qingning's heart melted instantly: "So cute, where did you find it?"
"It was in the small garden of our house. The servants said that someone saw it yesterday. They thought it was an ominous creature, so they sent it outside, but it came back on its own."
Xiao Die said happily, "I think it's naturally not an ominous thing. I'm afraid it's destined to be with our Chuyun Palace. Since you've been staying indoors lately, having a living creature would bring some life to the place, wouldn't it?"
When Xiaodie mentioned the word "living creature," Ye Qingning's heart skipped a beat. When she looked down at the kitten, it seemed very familiar.
Could it be her Ayan?
Ye Qingning happily took the basket: "Okay, I'll keep this little cutie."
Just then, a maid came in, bowed, and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has sent word that he wants to have breakfast at our Chuyun Palace."
Ye Qingning was busy interacting with the kitten, and upon hearing this, she simply replied, "Okay, go and prepare."
The maid agreed and left.
Xiao Die, on the other hand, followed Ye Qingning into the room with great joy: "Your Majesty, I told you so, didn't I? Little Meow brought good news to our Chuyun Palace as soon as she arrived. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely lift your palace confinement this time."
At this moment, Ye Qingning only had eyes for the little kitten, and she smiled as she patted its head: "Yes, my little cutie~"
Kitten: "Meow~"
Ye Qingning instructed Xiaodie: "Go and get some dry towels so I can wipe the water droplets off its body. Also, tell someone to prepare some soft cushions so it can rest for a while."
"Yes." Seeing her mistress happy, Xiaodie also cheered and skipped off to get busy.
Once the room was quiet again, Ye Qingning looked at the kitten with tender eyes and spoke softly to it, "Tell me quietly, are you Ayan? If so, meow twice."
Kitten: "Meow~ Meow~"
Ye Qingning was so happy to see its sapphire eyes that she almost jumped for joy, but just to be on the safe side, she confirmed it again: "If you are Ayan, call out three times and let me hear it."
The kitten glanced at her with its bright eyes and meowed.
Three times, not a single one off.
If the first time was a coincidence, then the second time couldn't be a coincidence either!
Ye Qingning looked at it again: "If you are Ayan, call out four times and let me hear it."
The kitten's whiskers trembled, and it obediently meowed, "Meow~ Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"
Ye Qingning picked up the kitten immediately: "Ayan, I'm so happy to see you~ You're so cute."
The kitten looked at her with a somewhat aloof expression, its eyes revealing a profound meaning.
Xiao Die had already come in with a towel. After handing it to Ye Qingning, she squatted down and watched her wipe the kitten, saying, "Your Majesty, do you want to give it a name?"
Ye Qingning's eyes were gentle and shimmering: "Call me Ayan."
"Ayan?" Xiaodie was taken aback. "Why is he called that..."
"Because it's my Ayan."
As soon as Ye Qingning finished speaking, a cold laugh came from outside the door, followed by a glimpse of a corner of an indigo brocade robe.
A maid's voice came from outside the door, kneeling: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
The Crown Prince has arrived?
Ye Qingning was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw a tall and upright man's back again.
Xiao Die was so shocked that she knelt on the ground until Ye Qingning patted her shoulder and said, "Get up, the person is gone."
Xiaodie sat down immediately: "Your Majesty... you can name it whatever you want, but how can you call it Ayan?"
"how?"
Xiao Die glanced at the door and lowered her voice, "The disgraced official Lin Feiyan..."
Ye Qingning was suddenly taken aback.
That's right.
So the Crown Prince got angry again after hearing those words.
She raised her hand to rub her temples, gently stroked the kitten's fur, and softly discussed with it, "Ayan, I'm going to change your name. We have to bow our heads when we're under someone's roof, okay?"
The kitten was very docile: "Meow~"
That means you've agreed.
Ye Qingning was quite conflicted: "Then what should we call it?"
"How about Xiaobai?" Xiaodie suggested, "Look at him, he's all white, so calling him Xiaobai would be just right."
Ye Qingning shook her head: "Too ordinary..."
It really sounds like a kitten's name, but it's clearly her name, Ayan...
Ye Qingning thought for a while and said, "Let's call him Abao."
Ah Bao, what a gentle, doting, and beautiful name.
Her beloved Lin Feiyan, or simply Abao.
Xiao Die naturally agreed. In her eyes, whatever the Empress said was right, as long as it didn't involve the disgraced official Lin Feiyan.
The kitten's eyes darted around, and it meowed softly and sweetly.
Ye Qingning chuckled, "Ayan likes this name too, right? Then I'll call you Abao from now on."
Abao proudly puffed out his chest and exclaimed, "Meow~"
After naming Abao, Xiaodie began to worry again: "Your Majesty, such a great opportunity to lift the confinement has been ruined by your one word, Ayan... This time, His Highness the Crown Prince may not forgive you so easily... What should we do?"
Ye Qingning was playing with Abao in her arms when she asked, "What's the situation with Shu Liangyuan?"
Perhaps if she hadn't caused trouble, the male lead would have suddenly discovered how good the female lead was?
After all, the more the male lead dislikes her, the more he probably likes her.
Xiaodie recounted the information she had gathered: "They said he woke up, but he seems to have some symptoms of amnesia and doesn't remember people very well."
