A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C159
The room was dark and the windows were closed. Leng Qiyue touched the window and pushed, but she did not push. After hammering twice with all her might, she still did not move. Leng Qiyue’s anger reached a point where she could not control it. Her luck struck out and the entire window flew off with a crash. It turned out that the window had been nailed to the wall with a wooden board.
The room was lit up by the moonlight. His vision became blurry and he was no longer at a loss.
There was a candlestick inside, so there should be flint near the candlestick. Leng Qiyue reached over and found a fire piston by the candlestick. She did not know how long she had put it there, but it was filled with dust. She blew on the ash and opened the fire piston to blow on it a few times. She didn’t expect it to be lit. There was half a candle on the candlestick. She carefully lit it and picked it up. This candlestick was covered by a crystal, so it was very clear.
The room was huge. There was a shelf filled with books and a shelf holding small antiques. Other than those two shelves, there were only tables and chairs. He walked around the screen and entered the bedroom. The bed in the bedroom was covered in purple bedding and was covered in dust. Formless purple, only imperial concubines and above can use it. Could it be that there used to be a imperial concubine here? Then who could it be?
Leng Qiyue looked at the dressing table. There were jewels and rouge powder, so why didn’t the people here take these with them?
Just as she was wondering, there was the sound of a cat meowing outside. Leng Qiyue walked out and saw the black cat sitting on the table, staring at her with its green eyes.
Leng Qiyue lightly coughed and said, “Erm… Brother Cat, I came in unintentionally. It’s too cold outside, so I came to avoid the cold. ”
The black cat tilted its head, its tail wagging as it jumped off the table. After taking a few steps, it turned back and barked at her.
Leng Qiyue felt strange and followed him. The black cat seemed to be leading the way for her, stopping and stopping. The cat and the person arrived at a pile of grass in the backyard. There was a white cat in the grass, with a litter of flowery cats … The kittens did not have any milk to eat, so they were all squawking.
Leng Qiyue touched the white cat. It was so hungry that it was as thin as a piece of bone. She didn’t have a physical object on her, so she didn’t know how to help it. She held the white cat in her arms with the kitten. There were a total of six kittens, but they hadn’t even opened their eyes yet.
Leng Qiyue cursed the black cat in heartache, “How did you become a husband? His wife and children were so hungry, yet he didn’t go find food? If I wasn’t lost, I would definitely be able to find something to eat.
The black cat seemed to know that she was scolding him and lowered its head.
Leng Qiyue felt helpless. If she bumped into them blindly with her arms, the white cat would starve to death, and the kitten would starve to death even if it didn’t have milk to eat. She bit her finger and stuffed it into the white cat’s mouth. When the white cat smelled the blood, it immediately became energetic. It didn’t even have the strength to bite into it, so it could only stick out its tongue and lick it.
Leng Qiyue’s blood had the Nine Leaf Phoenix Fruit, and it had the effect of reviving the dead. The moment the white cat drank her blood, it became energetic and was able to bite her finger with force in the end. Leng Qiyue had no choice but to pat the white cat on its head to make it let go.
Although the white cat was in high spirits, the six little things still lacked milk. If this went on, it would starve to death. Leng Qiyue couldn’t bear it, but she was helpless. She could only hug them as she curled up in a pile of hay. In a daze, she fell asleep as well.
Yan Su actually hadn’t gone far. After leaving the Moon Flower Hall, he hid in a dark corner. He had heard the conversation between Leng Qiyue and Han Liu and understood his intentions. He fell in love with his Imperial Consort, with a person he shouldn’t have, but after hearing Leng Qiyue’s words, he didn’t regret it at all. If he loved her, then he would love her.
After Leng Qiyue fell asleep, Yan Su walked out and bent down to pick her up in his arms. His movements were very careful, as if he was carrying a fog that would dissipate if he touched her.
When the black cat saw that someone had immediately exploded, it whined.
Yan Su glared at it. The black cat immediately pursed its ears and looked at him timidly. Cats were afraid of dogs, but Yan Su was a wolf. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Yan Su looked at the black cat and said, “Come up, I’ll take you guys away.”
The black cat jumped onto Yan Su’s shoulder as if it had a mind of its own, and grabbed onto his clothes with its four claws.
Just like that, the Black Cat family settled down in the Moon Flower Hall.
The next morning, Leng Qiyue woke up to find herself in bed. She looked around in a daze before realizing that she was in her bedroom. She couldn’t help but think, “Am I dreaming?”
“Creak …” The door was pushed open by Han Liu. She frowned as she looked at the door, saying, “It’s time to change this broken door.”
“Han Liu.” Leng Qiyue called out to him.
Han Liu walked in and said, “The Empress has awoken. It was the guards who sent the Empress back last night.” Not only did he bring back the Empress, he also brought back a nest of cats.
“Cat? Is it a black one, a white one, and six flowers? ” Leng Qiyue instantly perked up. It turned out that she wasn’t dreaming.
Han Liu put on the mask and said, “Yes, I didn’t expect the black and white cats to give birth to a litter of cats. Interesting.”
After Leng Qiyue had washed her face and changed her clothes, she waited for Han Liu to finish brushing her hair without eating, then pulled Han Liu along. “Quick, take me to see. Where did you put the cat?”
Han Liu smiled. “Empress, don’t worry. They’re all very well. They’ve been left in the courtyard.”
Leng Qiyue opened the door and ran into the yard. There was a big basket there, and the white cat was gone. Only the six kittens were sleeping soundly on the broken cloth. “So cute, I didn’t expect there to be a cat in the palace.” Leng Qiyue smiled.
Han Liu said, “Since the emperor ascended to the throne, no one sent a cat to the palace. It was most likely an Imperial concubine. “After the late Emperor passed away, his concubines that had not been favored by him were all sent out of the palace. They were all sent to the An Guo temple for cultivation. Only after three years would they be able to leave on their own.”
“Who cares? These cats will be part of our Moon Flower Hall from now on.” Leng Qiyue did not care about this.
Just then, a small palace maid walked over timidly and said, “Empress, the Empress has redeemed herself.”
Leng Qiyue raised her head to look at her and asked, “What is it?”
The little palace maid was almost lying on the ground as she said, “This servant retrieved a carp from the imperial kitchens. Originally, I wanted to raise it and cook it for the Empress at lunchtime, but a black cat and a white cat came from somewhere and stole the fish while this servant was not paying attention.”
Han Liu’s face darkened. “I know the fish. Didn’t you put it in the vat?” “That vat is so wide that even cats can’t catch it without water. Quickly tell me, where did that fish go?”
The court lady cried, “I really put the fish in the vat. I thought cats were afraid of water, but who knew that black cat knew how to swim …”
Before the palace maid could finish crying, a young eunuch ran over and said, “Empress, Empress, this isn’t good …”
