Her demeanor was extremely composed, as if all the world's troubles were irrelevant to her.
On the chair to her left, a well-behaved little hedgehog, a miniature spiky fortress, was crouching.
To her right, the scene was faintly visible: a little rabbit lay obediently on her lap, its lively little eyes like two sparkling gems, radiating a lively and adorable light.
The whole scene is like a harmonious and interesting painting.
This was the first time Li Xuanji had painted a portrait of Murong Yue, and she put her heart and soul into it.
"Yes, it looks good."
Murong Yue was, of course, praising herself.
Before long, dinner was served, and Murong Yue invited Li Xuanji to stay for a meal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
These past few days, Murong Yue has taken a liking to stewed goose.
Actually, she used to like eating rabbit a few days ago, and the spicy rabbit dish that Manager Zhu came up with was especially to her liking.
Unfortunately, Ah-Hao had a pet rabbit.
Murong Yue will no longer eat rabbits.
Upon learning this, Steward Zhu immediately began working on a new dish: stewed goose.
He immediately captured Murong Yue's heart.
Murong Yue (chewing), "Teach me to write tomorrow (chewing)..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Xuanji readily agreed, he was delighted that His Majesty was so proactive in learning.
Li Xuanji has witnessed Murong Yue's appetite today.
That's twice his.
Murong Yue finished the entire table of food without any effort.
After the meal, he was a little worried and specifically asked Ah Hao, "Is His Majesty feeling unwell?"
"No," Ah Hao shook his head, "My daily routine is normal, I've just gained a little weight."
"Your Majesty has been working hard on state affairs, and your physical strength has declined significantly in the past two years. Gaining some weight is a good thing."
Li Xuanji was relieved, then cautioned, "His Majesty's mind is like a child's; he might not be able to tell if he's feeling unwell."
"If you notice that His Majesty is unwell, you should summon the imperial physician immediately."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
That night, Murong Yue slept soundly, holding her large pearl in one arm and the yellow crystal in the other.
whoosh whoosh—
In the middle of the night, a sudden gust of wind arose.
A strong wind howled, sweeping through the capital.
Even the withered branches on the trees in the palace were blown away.
Ahao was worried and got up several times in the middle of the night to check if Murong Yue was sleeping soundly.
Just as dawn was breaking, Ah Hao returned to the small couch in the side hall, yawning.
Um?
She suddenly woke up.
Why is the cage for the rabbits open?
Where's the rabbit?
Ah-hao quickly started searching inside the house.
It's so cold, the wind is so strong, and the night is so dark, where could a rabbit possibly run off to?
Please don't freeze to death outside.
His Majesty loves this little rabbit very much; if it were to die, His Majesty would be heartbroken.
Ah Hao called someone in, "Find that rabbit, keep it quiet, don't disturb His Majesty."
"yes."
Murong Yue was fast asleep, while Ahao led the palace servants to search for rabbits.
The wind outside was howling so loudly, like someone was whistling in my ear. The wind was getting stronger and stronger; I had never seen such a strong wind in winter for so many years.
"Could they really have run away...?"
As soon as Ah Hao pushed open the palace door, she was blown back by a strong wind with a clang.
He fell flat on his backside.
A strong wind rushed into the hall.
"girl!"
The palace maid gasped in surprise and helped her up.
"Wait, what's that?"
When Ah-hao fell, he happened to see a grayish figure, a little bigger than a fist, on the archway above his head.
The palace maids also looked up.
hiss--
"No wonder I couldn't find it; how did it get up there?"
It turned out that the little rabbit had escaped from its cage at some point, and somehow ended up on the roof beam.
The beams of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are not like those of ordinary people.
It is both tall and thick.
"Hiss, come down quickly," Ah Hao whispered to the little rabbit.
But the little guy remained seated there, unmoving, only twitching his ears, showing no intention of moving an inch.
Everyone racked their brains and tried various methods to get the rabbit down from the roof beam.
First, they tried to lure it with delicious food, but the rabbit remained unmoved.
Then someone tried to climb the ladder to catch it, but they couldn't reach it because it was too far away.
It was all in vain.
We can't just let a rabbit hop around in His Majesty's bedchamber.
what to do?
Faced with the current predicament, everyone was at a loss and did not know what to do.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out, "What are you guys playing?"
It turned out that after Murong Yue woke up, she followed the sound to the side hall and saw a group of people gathered together.
My gossipy heart is burning brightly.
Everyone quickly bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! The rabbit escaped and disturbed Your Majesty's rest," Ah Hao quickly admitted her mistake.
"where?"
Murong Yue understood what she meant, and the little rabbit ran away.
Did he go to find his mother too?
Ah Hao pointed to the main beam inside the hall.
Murong Yue looked in that direction and saw a gray mass on the high roof beam.
A ladder was propped up under the pillar.
Actually, there were ladders tall and long enough inside the palace, but it was too late at night to make too much noise, so they used a regular ladder instead.
But it's still far from perfect.
Ah-hao originally thought that if the little rabbit didn't come down, he would have to let professionals handle it after dawn.
Murong Yue tilted her head and looked for a few moments before lifting her foot to climb up.
