"Imperial Uncle, the Imperial Kitchen has made some food. Please go downstairs and try it." Su Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch Big Boss Cat's chin.
"Meow?" The Imperial Uncle opened his eyes and lazily turned his head to look at him.
The National Tutor got down from the fur belly and glanced at everyone. "Go down first. I need to change."
"Do you want me to help you change?" Prince Hao smiled and popped his head out from the fifth floor.
The National Tutor slowly walked over and stepped on his brother's head.
Prince Hao quickly retracted his head and slid down to the third floor. His voice came from afar. "I was joking. Hahaha."
The National Tutor looked up at the others in the room.
The Retired Emperor tactfully turned and left. Su Yu swallowed his saliva and quickly followed the Emperor.
Big Boss Cat saw them jump down and was curious, so he jumped down as well.
"Meow!" The huge furry head went down, but its body was stuck on the second floor. It waved its front paws helplessly.
"Oh, so big!" The Empress Dowager stood on the second floor and looked up at the big furry pile. She immediately laughed and waved the big cloth rat in her hand. "Imperial Uncle, come down quickly."
"Meow!" Big Boss Cat became even more anxious.
The National Tutor happily changed his clothes and grabbed Big Boss Cat's tail with one hand.
"Meow?" Big Boss Cat finally remembered to back away. It twisted its huge body and struggled to pull its head out. It shook its head and pushed open the big window with its paws. It jumped out and lightly jumped along the outside of the high platform. Soon, it jumped down to the second floor and went in.
Prince Ling and Prince Su hadn't seen each other for a long time. They were sitting by the window and pushing each other.
Yesterday, when they heard that the Emperor and the others had returned, they rushed back from the barracks in the suburbs of the capital. As a result, they were beaten up by their brothers. The reason was that they looked more and more like Old Ninth, but not as good as Old Ninth. For the first time in his life, Prince Su felt that it was good to have a younger brother. This way, after being beaten by his elder brother, he could still beat his younger brother.
"Let's hurry back to the border. Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, and the others will arrive soon. We won't have any peaceful days." Prince Ling bit Prince Su's ear and said.
The big black and white cat pushed his brother away and gave him a backhand slap.
Just as they were talking, a shadow suddenly came over, and a huge furball appeared in an instant. It knocked down the two furballs as if they were playing polo.
His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was squatting on the table and eating shredded fish, covered his eyes with his paw. His Seventh Uncle, Prince Hao, sat with him and looked at his two younger brothers with a gloating expression. He conveniently pulled Damao and Ermao into his arms and rubbed them.
Big Boss Cat did not seem to notice. It jumped in and squatted on the ground, pressing the two furballs underneath it.
"Greetings, Ancestral Imperial Uncle." Everyone stepped forward and bowed.
When Big Boss Cat saw so many people, some of whom he did not recognize, he could not help but shrink back.
The Empress Dowager stared at Ancestral Imperial Uncle with a pair of almond-shaped eyes. She handed over the big rat in her hand. It was originally made for the Eldest Prince as a climbing frame. When she heard about Ancestral Imperial Uncle yesterday, she brought it to show her respect to the elders.
Ancestral Imperial Uncle blinked, opened his mouth and bit the big rat. He ran behind the pillar and hid behind it. He curiously held the cloth rat and looked back and forth. Anguo Tower's pillar was not thin, but when Big Boss Cat squatted behind it, it would overflow. His two big furry ears could be seen at the two ends of the pillar. At first glance, it looked like the pillar was encrusted with fur.
"Seventeenth Uncle, are you okay?" Su Yu squatted down and looked at the two cats on the ground worriedly.
His Royal Highness King Ling was stuck on the carpet, and Prince Su was stacked on top of him.
"Get up." Prince Ling patted the carpet with his paw.
The Su King shook his dizzy head and retracted his four claws as he tried to stand up.
"Seventh Brother is here!" The big golden cat descended from the sky and pounced on his two younger brothers.
His Royal Highness The Crown Prince was very familiar with this game. He ran along the table, jumped, and pounced on his grandfather.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at his uncle and brothers who were in a mess, and exchanged a look of disdain with the Retired Emperor.
The National Tutor walked down the stairs, his soft robe dragging slowly on the black and gold stairs. He waved his wide sleeves and sat on the soft couch. He picked up the little fat cat, who was still eating fish fillets, and held it in his hands.
"Mi!" Only the Eldest Prince was left at the table. He looked around, not knowing what to do.
Su Yu reached out to pick up his son and put him in his arms. When the cats saw the National Tutor come, they consciously looked around and sat down obediently. They finally quieted down.
"The edict to confer the title of empress has been sent down. There are no blood contracted slaves in the imperial harem, just release them all." The Imperial Preceptor raised his eyes to look at Su Yu. "Do you have a palace person you like? Find her another day to sign a blood contract."
Since he lived in the palace, he had to have a personal servant to serve him, like Wang Gonggong and Aunt Lin.
Su Yu scratched his head. Ever since he entered the palace, he didn't live in Ye Xiao Palace for many days. He moved to the North Pole Palace. The palace servants around him were used to serving the Emperor, so there wasn't anyone who could be considered his confidants. The most intimate one was Wang Gonggong.
"No need." His Majesty the Emperor sat down on the soft couch of the National Tutor. "He will still live with me in the North Pole Palace."
"Ah?" Su Yu blinked.
"What a scandal!" The Emperor Emeritus objected. The Empress should live in the central palace. How could she live with the Emperor?
"There are no concubines in the imperial harem, no young men. What are you afraid of?" The Emperor glanced at his father. He didn't have so many burdens.
Thinking of Princess Mu who was sent to the northwest and her birth mother in the temporary imperial residence, the Emperor Emeritus coughed lightly. He stole a glance at the Empress Dowager and felt guilty for no reason.
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to notice. She was still looking at the edge of the pillar with interest, trying to touch it.
The Empress didn't plan to live in the central palace, so there was no need to renovate it. She only needed to renovate the North Pole Palace.
And the freshly minted Empress Su was deprived of the right to live alone in the palace. She had to accompany Uncle Cat to live in the North Pole Palace every day, serving the Emperor's three meals, bathing and changing clothes, warming his paws and brushing his hair.
The central palace didn't need to be renovated, so the Ministry of Works focused on building the palace of the guardian beast.
Although there were many palaces in the palace, none of them were suitable for a cat that was ten feet tall. They could only rebuild them.
Rebuilding the palaces wasn't a small matter. It would take at least a month. During this month, Big Boss Cat would still live in Anguo Tower.
As the guardian beast, the Emperor Emeritus should live in the front hall like the National Tutor.
There was a small lake near the Imperial Garden in the front hall. The Retired Emperor ordered people to dig it big and deep. He also surrounded several palaces around it and built a new palace called Hai Yan Palace.
There was only one kitchen in the palace. There was a special chef who cooked for the guardian beast every day.
King Jing fished up all the sea monsters that could be fished up from the Eastern Sea and sent them all into the palace. On the day that the Ocean Yan Palace was completed, these sea monsters would also enter the palace. It was King Jing's housewarming gift to his imperial granduncle.
The imperial bodyguards carried all kinds of sea monsters into Ocean Yan Palace one after another. Su Yu looked at the Ying Fish, which was making a lot of noise, and was worried that it would disturb Imperial Granduncle's rest.
"Let's go in and take a look." The Emperor, who had just finished reading the memorials, stretched and leaned on Su Yu as if he had no bones. He let Su Yu drag him inside.
The Ocean Palace looked no different from the other palaces except for the majestic palace gate. Once inside, it was a completely different world.
The wide surface of the lake was sparkling, and the surrounding shore was full of sand that had been dug from the seaside. The guards threw the sea monsters in the cages into the palace. Strangely, the noisy sea monsters were as obedient as quails when they entered the palace. They didn't make a sound.
After the guards finished releasing the strange fish, they bowed and left, leaving only the commander of the guards, Gao Peng, to guard the door.
Su Yu dragged the Emperor inside and looked carefully.
The original decorations of the palaces were removed and the beams were raised. There was no furniture in the main hall. It was covered with soft cushions and silk ribbons were hung from the beams. The floor of the side hall was sunken and filled with soft sand. The sand was sprinkled with pearl powder and spices.
"Meow!" Su Yu was looking into the side hall when he bumped into Big Boss Cat who was looking out.
Big Boss Cat was shocked and took a few steps back. It quietly dug in the sand with its hind legs and buried the sharp golden thing behind it more securely. Then it rushed out of the side hall and ran to the lake to see the sea monsters that had just appeared.
A Ying Fish flew out of the water and suddenly saw the big furball squatting by the water. Its wings stiffened in the air and it fell straight into the water, never to come out again.
"This is delicious. I've eaten this before." The black and yellow Prince Zhong squatted by the water and pointed at the fish in the water as he explained.
The group of wild cats and his son, Prince Li, surrounded Prince Zhong in a circle and listened to him talk about the deep sea monsters and the adventures on the deserted island.
"The big fish leaped out of the water. Its fangs were three feet long and it pounced on the group of brave cats. As the big brother of the cats, I was duty-bound to rush to the front …"
Su Yu's mouth twitched. After the empress coronation ceremony, the imperial uncles were all sent back to their stations by the retired emperor.
Prince Su and Prince Ling fled back to the northwest and the desert.
Prince Hao, who didn't want to leave, was forced to leave by his twin brother. His sister-in-law pitied him and gave him a few clockwork mice. Finally, he could report back to his son.
"I'm old. It's not easy to make a living with my son." Prince Hao said sadly. He looked at the clockwork mice that he had lost before they even boarded the ship. He hoped that the rest could last until they reached the East Sea. He let out a long sigh and took away a chef from Xian Man Tang.
Prince Yong also had a fief in the northeast of Da 'an. The empress dowager prepared a pile of plush blankets, thick cotton clothes, and a hollow cloth mouse that could be used as a claw warmer for him. "That …" He scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He mounted his horse and left.
Only Prince Zhong and Prince Li refused to leave. The reason was that their eldest son's first birthday was coming soon, and they had to wait to catch Zhou Li.
The eldest son was born in September, and it was only June now …
Su Yu turned to look at the crown prince, who was playing sand with His Royal Highness King Zhao. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned to look at the group of people who were listening to the story. He looked carefully and saw a small furball with a similar color lying on top of Prince Li's black and yellow head. His Royal Highness the eldest son hugged one of his father's ears and listened with great interest. From time to time, he would chime in with a meow.
