Su Yu blinked and remembered that this was His Royal Highness King Zhao. He wondered if he should greet him.
The little fat cat didn't pay attention to him at all. It held the teeth-grinding club and turned over. It lay on the Empress Dowager's lap, exposing its white and fluffy belly. It gnawed and kicked its legs.
Thinking of his seventeenth uncle who almost fell into the pond yesterday, Su Yu felt that it was better not to point it out for the time being. He only greeted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked up and down at Su Yu's dress. She was a little surprised. "You look better in luxurious clothes than in plain ones."
Today, he was wearing a very gorgeous robe. It was a sapphire blue robe with silver edges, and it was covered with a layer of aquamarine silk. The brocade robe had a jade belt, and its wide sleeves were towering. It complemented his gentle and handsome face, making him look refined and noble.
Su Yu scratched his head embarrassedly. He got up in the morning and asked Wang Gonggong to rummage through the cabinets for a long time before he found this high-collared robe. Although the wound on his neck had miraculously disappeared, the hickeys and teeth marks were still there. After comparing which was more embarrassing, Su Yu decided to put on the brocade robe.
"Meow …" The little fat cat, lying on its back, tried to look up. It saw a gorgeous Concubine Xian lying upside down, so it echoed.
"When making winter clothes, ask the Imperial Household Department to make a few more like this for Concubine Xian." The Empress Dowager turned her head and said to Aunt Lin.
"Yes, I will remember." Aunt Lin responded with a smile.
With a light cough, Su Yu decided to change the topic from the dress. "Why did the Empress Dowager summon me here?"
The Empress Dowager raised her hand and stroked His Royal Highness King Zhao's head. The little fat cat closed its eyes comfortably. "Concubine Lu will leave the palace today. Concubine De and Consort Shu will also be demoted to Zhaoyi. Now you have the highest position in the palace …"
When Su Yu heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's next sentence was, "I'll leave the matter of assisting the six palaces to you."
"This subject is a chef. I only know how to kill fish and cook dishes. Assisting the Six Palaces …" Su Yu frowned.
"You're just an assistant. It's not like you're in charge of everything." The Empress Dowager scratched the little fat cat's chin, and when he let go of the teething stick, she moved her hand to her warm belly and rubbed it. The little fat cat immediately refused and took a bite of his mother's hand.
"But, this subject is a man. There are many women in the imperial harem. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Su Yu tried to struggle.
He was already busy enough. In addition to making three meals a day for the cat, he also had to go to Anguo Tower to study, help the National Tutor to make offerings, and be tortured by His Majesty the Emperor every night … But his monthly salary was still eighty taels of silver!
"You don't have to gossip with them." The Empress Dowager pulled her hand out of the cat's mouth and tapped the little fat cat's nose. "Aijia will still be in charge of the Phoenix Seal. You just have to come every other day to help."
Since the Empress Dowager had said this, Su Yu couldn't refuse anymore. From now on, there was an additional task of "managing the inner palace" in his daily homework.
After agreeing with the Empress Dowager on the time to come to Ci 'an Palace the next day, Su Yu got up and left. Today, he had to go to Anguo Tower before noon.
"Wait." The Empress Dowager picked up the furball on her lap and handed it to Su Yu. "Take Hong Ting with you. Yesterday, the National Tutor said that he should go earlier today."
His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was lying on his back and gnawing on a teething stick, suddenly froze. He looked at his mother in disbelief and then tried to turn his head to see Su Yu's reaction. But his neck was too short. He couldn't see anything even after turning left and right. Instead, because his movements were too big, he dropped the teething stick and hurriedly went to pick it up.
The Empress Dowager was afraid that he would fall, so she quickly put her little son on her lap and changed the angle to hold his neck. His Royal Highness King Zhao immediately grabbed the Empress Dowager's dress and looked like he would rather die than submit.
"This child, let Concubine Xian take you there so that you won't run away." The Empress Dowager rubbed the little fat ball. This little guy just shamelessly turned into a cat, but now he couldn't turn back. Running to Anguo Tower with such short legs must be very tiring.
"Perhaps Your Highness feels that it is inconvenient." Aunt Lin held back her laughter and came over to persuade him. She took out a small basket.
His Royal Highness King Zhao reluctantly nestled into the basket and held his teething stick tightly. He stared at Su Yu vigilantly and immediately realized that Su Yu already knew that he was his brother-in-law and wouldn't touch him anymore. So, he was slightly relieved. Then, he remembered that he used to stretch out his paws and roll in front of Su Yu. He was also forced by his brother to play dead …
He silently buried his head in the flannel …
While he was feeling sad, a warm and strong hand covered the little fat cat's head and quickly rubbed it.
His Royal Highness King Zhao was shocked. He widened his cat eyes and looked up in shock. What, what?
Su Yu smiled and couldn't help but rub the little fat cat's head again. He finally knew why this little guy didn't let him touch him before. However, although he couldn't touch him as his brother-in-law, he could still touch his head. "Your Highness, let's go to Ye Xiao Palace to fish out Ying Yu first, and then go to Anguo Tower, okay?"
His Royal Highness King Zhao turned around and ignored Su Yu, holding his head and tail.
"We are going to kill Ying Yu today. This kind of fish is more delicious than mackerel." Su Yu sat on the cart and put the basket on his lap. He tried hard to resist the urge to poke the little fat ball's butt.
Eat fish! The little fat cat's ears immediately perked up. He turned his head and looked at Su Yu with shining eyes. He decided not to care about Su Yu touching his head anymore. If he did it well, he would leave a big piece of fish for him. In the future, he could touch his head whenever he wanted.
Su Yu didn't know that His Royal Highness King Zhao wanted to exchange his head for a piece of fish. He went straight to Ye Xiao Palace and fished out the iron cage that was hanging in the water.
"Ga ga!" As soon as the Ying Yu came out of the water, it shouted at Su Yu in dissatisfaction. It flapped its long and strong wings and shook off the water from Su Yu.
Su Yu put the cage on the ground and patted the water droplets off his body. The little fat cat climbed out of the basket and curiously looked at the Ying Yu inside the cage.
"Ga!" The Ying Yu flapped its wings and hit the iron cage. The two wings were one foot long, almost as big as the fish's body. When they were stretched out, they were much wider than the fish's body. The feather-like things on the wings were actually small scales. The edges of the wings were thin and looked like fins under the sunlight.
The little fat cat was also drenched in water. The hair on its head was wet and stuck together. It raised its paws and wanted to scratch it. However, its head was too big and its paws were too short. It couldn't reach it. It anxiously rubbed its head on the edge of the cage. Who knew that the cage was also wet. The more it rubbed, the wetter it became.
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a cloth from the basket and wiped the little fat cat's head. He threw it back into the basket and put the basket on the cage. He took the cat and the fish to Anguo Tower.
The Ying Yu had to be killed at noon. If it was killed, it wouldn't be able to cook for the Emperor. Su Yu had told the Emperor this morning and the Emperor had expressed his understanding.
When Su Yu arrived at Anguo Tower, he saw a person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. The person was standing with his hands behind his back. Seeing him come, the person seemed to want to greet him. However, he felt that it was inappropriate. He slightly raised his chin and stood in place, waiting for him to come over. Humph, as the owner, how could zhen do something stupid like rushing over when zhen sees a stupid slave?
Su Yu didn't notice the Emperor's small movements. He carried the cage and quickly walked over, "Emperor, why did you come at this time?"
The Emperor looked at the small bamboo basket on the cage and the little fat cat in the basket with disdain, "What's going on?" He raised a finger and poked his brother's wet head. He then used his two hands to pinch the teething club that his brother was holding.
"I met His Royal Highness King Zhao at Ci An Palace, so I brought him here." Su Yu smiled as he stuffed the small basket into the Emperor's hands. He was still carrying the cage. He was afraid that the basket would fall when he went upstairs.
An Hong-chul dug out his brother, who was desperately trying to burrow into the velvet cloth. He raised him in front of him and looked at him with a frown. The little fat cat tightly hugged the teething club and whispered at him, "Muhou asked Consort Xian to bring me here. It has nothing to do with me!"
The door of Anguo Tower slowly opened. The white-clothed attendants inside the door respectfully saluted everyone.
It was the first time that Su Yu stepped into Anguo Tower in the morning. He looked around curiously.
He didn't know what Anguo Tower was built for, but no matter what time of day, the sun would always shine in from the top of the tower and pass through the center of the seven floors.
Anguo Tower in the morning was quieter than it was in the afternoon. Wang Gonggong escorted the three people to the second floor and then retreated.
The National Tutor, dressed in a snow-white robe, was lying on a soft couch. Her beautiful eyes were closed, and her long white hair was gently spread out. The quiet and warm sunlight shone in through the window, softly shining on the soft couch. When it met the jade-like handsome face, it scattered in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but hold his breath, afraid that he would ruin the mood.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't appreciate this. He picked up his brother and strode over. He raised his hand and threw the furball in his hand at the National Tutor. "What time is it? Still sleeping!"
"Meow!" His brother was startled. He kept kicking his four limbs in the air, but he couldn't stop himself from falling. He crashed into Imperial Uncle's arms and buried himself in the layers of gorgeous robes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her cold and beautiful eyes didn't have a trace of anger. She quietly looked at the Emperor standing in front of the couch. She slowly sat up and caught the little fat cat that was trying to escape. "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"The East Sea's Ying Fish will be delivered tomorrow. I came to take a look first." His Majesty the Emperor had his hands clasped behind his back. He had a serious expression on his face as if he was concerned about the national economy and the people's livelihood.
The National Tutor stood up and looked at Su Yu. He paused for a moment, and his meaningful gaze lingered on his neck for a moment.
Su Yu was startled. He unconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck. The gorgeous high collar covered his neck quite well. He thought to himself, "Does the National Tutor have X-ray vision?" Then he realized that he was here to kill fish today, but he was wearing a brocade robe. Wasn't this clearly telling others that he had a secret that forced him to wear a high collar?
What was he trying to hide?
When Su Yu's face was about to turn red, the Emperor suddenly took a step to the side and blocked the National Tutor's mocking gaze. He coldly stared at the National Tutor.
The National Tutor withdrew his probing gaze and turned to go upstairs with the little fat cat in his arms.
"Hmph!" The Emperor snorted ambiguously and pulled Su Yu, who was still in a daze, to follow him upstairs.
Everyone had just reached the third floor when two large tabby cats, one black and one black and yellow, pushed each other and jumped onto the second floor's window.
"I'm not lying to you. Yesterday, when I rolled around, my niece-in-law gave me half of the roasted fish and even shaved the bones!" The black and yellow cat stretched out two paws and gestured the size of half of the roasted fish.
His Highness Prince Su glanced at him. "Does the Emperor not care?"
"How does the Emperor care?" His Royal Highness King Ling proudly wagged his tail. "He can't say that Imperial Uncle can't feed it, right?"
The black and white cat was silent for a moment, and then nodded seriously. "Let's go up and take a look." After saying this, he took the lead and rushed up the stairs.
His Royal Highness King Ling used his hind paws to kick his ears and secretly bared his teeth. "Brother Shisan, wait for me!"
