The cat seemed to want to thank Rong Changan, and meowed at Rong Changan a few times. Rong Changan was happy, and held it in his arms, as if she had brought this cat from Tianchi Kingdom.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat, eat and go to sleep!"
Rong Changan went to wake Chuntao up, and asked her to prepare some small fish, rice, porridge, etc., and put them in a small enamel basin. Seeing so many delicious food, the cat meowed three times in a row, as if saying to Rong Changan and Chuntao:
"thanks!"
Chuntao was very happy: "Concubine Xue Gui, where did you buy such a cute cat? Look at how fat and cute it is. Have you named it yet?"
Rong Changan couldn't tell if someone was trying to scare her on purpose, but he just casually said that the cat was a stray cat, and it happened to climb onto the window sill, and she saw it and picked it up.
"What do you think it's called?"
Chuntao tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands together: "You look chubby and cute, why don't you call her a fat girl!"
Rong Changan read the name again, felt that it vividly described its body shape, and called it fluently, so he nodded and said, "That's a good name, it's called Fat Girl! However, don't think that because it is fat, it moves slowly. It's nimble!"
Just now the fat girl was jumping up and down, flying left and right, Rong Changan was almost defeated by it. At this moment, thinking of the embarrassment just now, she couldn't help but smile: Who would have thought that the one who tied with her was not a human, but a cat!
Chuntao didn't believe that it moved quickly: "Pang Niu is so fat, she probably can't walk anymore, so she can only sleep in the basket every day."
Rong Changan didn't argue with Chuntao either: "Alright, go back and rest. Tomorrow, remember to bathe the fat girl and brush her hair clean."
Chuntao leaned close to the cat and smelled it, and it really had an unpleasant smell.
"The imperial concubine is right. If you don't wash its hair and claws, if it scratches someone, it will get sick."
The next day, Rong Changan was woken up by the cat's voice. Meow meow, so cute! When Chuntao came over, the two of them washed the cat together, hung a bell around its neck, and the bell rang as it walked, which was crisp and sweet.
Chuntao smiled and said: "The greatest diplomatic achievement of the noble concubine in Tianchi country is to get a cat. Take it back and show it to the emperor. The emperor will definitely praise the noble concubine greatly."
Rong Chang'an: "Don't tell me, the emperor is a very caring person. If he sees a cat, he will be very happy. Especially if he is as cute as a fat girl, he will like it even more."
While the two were talking, a maidservant came in to announce: "Concubine Xue, the princess is waiting for you in the living room of the post house."
so early? Presumably it's not just to say hello to "Xue Er", right
Rong Chang'an: "Go and tell the princess that I will go see her immediately after I wash and make up."
Maid: "Okay, I'll go and tell the princess right now."
After the maid left, Chuntao said: "Grand Concubine, this princess is quite polite. I came here early to say hello to you. We haven't washed yet, and we still have gum in the corners of our eyes."
Rong Changan smiled: "Go wash up, and follow me to the living room to meet the princess in a while."
Chuntao: "Yes!"
After Chuntao washed up, she came to pick up Rong Changan, and the two came to the reception hall of the post house together.
"Concubine Xue, did you sleep well in the posthouse last night?" Li Ying greeted Rong Changan as soon as they met.
Rong Chang'an said: "Overall, it's pretty good."
Li Ying's eyes flashed: "What do you mean in general?"
The two sat down as guests and hosts, and the people in the post house served two cups of ginseng tea to them respectively.
Rong Changan took a sip of ginseng tea to moisten his throat and clear his stomach.
Li Ying was impatient: "Concubine, did someone disturb your rest? You are a distinguished guest, if someone disturbs you, I will immediately order the posthouse supervisor to investigate and punish the person who disturbed your rest. "
Seeing that Li Ying was so anxious to know what happened last night, Rong Changan understood in his heart.
"Reporting to Wangfei, no one disturbed my rest last night."
Li Ying rolled his eyes, put the ginseng tea in his hand to his mouth and took it down: "Could it be that something disturbed you?"
Rong Changan picked up the teacup to drink tea again, and cast a sharp glance at the princess over the edge of the teacup.
"Actually, it's not a disturbance, but a surprise."
The astonishment on Li Ying's face was exaggerated: "Surprise? What kind of surprise did the imperial concubine have last night?"
Rong Chang'an smiled and said: "If you don't mention the princess, I definitely don't know. I got a treasure last night. It seems that I am destined to be with Tianchi Kingdom."
Li Ying was at a loss: "What kind of treasure did the imperial concubine get?"
Rong Changan looked at Li Ying meaningfully: "Princess really wants to know?"
When Li Ying was stared at by Rong Chang'an's sharp eyes, she was a little flustered: "The noble concubine can say what she wants, it doesn't matter if she doesn't."
Rong Chang'an said: "It's such a good thing, why don't I tell the princess!" She clapped her hands, and Chuntao went back to hold the fat girl over.
Li Ying saw that the cat Chuntao was holding was fat and cute, with clean hair and a delicate fragrance, besides a white cloth wrapped around its neck, there was also a bell. As it turns its head around, the bell makes a bell sound, which is very nice.
Li Ying pointed at the cat: "Concubine, you are..."
Rong Changan pointed to the fat girl and said: "Last night, it broke into my bedroom, and I was shocked. I thought it was something. I lit the candle, and it meowed at me. It’s like a long-lost child meeting its mother. I saw it was pitiful and cute, so I wanted to keep it. —Princess, do you mind if I take the cat in your capital back home?”
Last night, the manager of the posthouse ran to her and reported how "Xue'er" was in a mess, but now it seems that "Xue'er" is fine!
Li Ying was very angry: This posthouse manager lied to me, I can't spare him when I go back!
In terms of performance, she was twitching her mouth, and she smiled on the surface: "What is the imperial concubine talking about! If you don't tell me, the king and I will send you a gift back. Since you like this cat, just take it back. "
Rong Changan took the cat from Chuntao's hand, and stroked the soft hair on its head: "I don't know that it is the cat of that rich and noble family. It ran out while the family was not careful. Now its owner must be very anxious. Princess, how about this, please find a few people, take the fat girl for a walk around the capital, find out who lost the cat, and then return the cat to him."
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was found on Li Ying's head
Li Ying smiled: "No, no! What a big deal! Anyway, the imperial concubine likes it, why don't you just take it. Although our Tianchi country is small, we don't even want to part with a cat."
Rong Changan: "With what the princess said, I, Xueer, have no choice but to accept the fat girl." After a pause, Rong Changan said, "By the way, princess, is the king free today? Can I go to the palace to see you?" king?"
The princess said: "No hurry, no hurry! When the king is free, I will naturally notify the noble concubine to see the king. You don't have to worry about this matter. If the noble concubine is bored, I will go boating with you in a few days. What do you think of the Prince taking you to hunt in the Western Mountains?"
Why did the king refuse to see her? Rong Changan fell into worry, maybe things were worse than she thought, at least there was an ominous premonition deep in her heart.
