Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 10

Chapter 10 compensate

    The emperor's illness gradually improved, and the daily time spent on dealing with government affairs increased greatly, but he still never summoned his concubines to stay in bed, and only called his concubine Liang to accompany him in the imperial study every other day or two. Grand Master Shen's weight in the court is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a faint tendency to fight against Li Xiang.

　　Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Shen family is about to soar into the sky. Concubine Liang's Zhongcui Palace is full of people all day long, welcomes and sees off, it is not as deserted as it used to be.

　　In the Bixiao Palace, Meng Sangyu held A Bao in one hand and a book of travel notes in the other, reading lazily on the couch. The soft sunlight came in through the half-opened window sills and shone on the bodies of a person and a dog, coating them with a thin layer of gold, and the picture was indescribably warm.

　　The slapped little milk dog squinted his eyes slightly, lying quietly in the woman's arms, sharing with her the magnificent mountains and rivers, folk customs in the travel notes, and feeling unprecedentedly peaceful. At this moment, he forgot his situation and his responsibilities, and only concentrated on enjoying the peace and tranquility.

　　"Mother, look where Po looks, and Po also turns his head when you turn the page, as if he can read and write. It's amazing!" Yin Cui came in with a pot of tea and a plate of pastries, and said amusedly.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou froze, for fear that his abnormality would arouse Concubine De's suspicion. If Concubine De regards him as a monster, one can imagine his fate.

　　"Of course my Abao is the smartest. Right now he is just reading books with me. In the future, I will teach him how to write and draw, sing and dance, and do arithmetic problems." De Fei hugged Abao and kissed him hard, proud Eloquent announcement.

　　She didn't know how deeply she pampered and blindly trusted Emperor Zhou Wu's heart. His fluffy tail wagged uncontrollably.

　　"Can puppies really learn these things?" Yincui was a little surprised.

　　"Of course." Concubine De said firmly, pinching A Bao's little tail.

　　You have vision! Apart from singing and dancing, what else can I do? Emperor Wu of Zhou grinded Concubine De's fingertips with his teeth, thinking proudly.

　　"But these things have to be taught slowly. There is no rush now. It's getting colder and colder. Let's teach Ah Bao how to dress first. Look at his bald neck. If the wind blows, he will definitely suffer from frostbite. Put Ah Bring Bao's little padded jacket and scarf, I'll give him a try." Concubine De put down her travel notes and spoke with great interest.

　　"Yes." Yincui's eyes lit up, and she immediately brought Abao's new clothes over.

　　"Ah Bao, I'm going to put on clothes and a scarf for you now. Be obedient and don't move around. I'll have some cakes to eat later. It's warm in the hall. If you're not used to it, we won't wear it, but you must wear it when you go out for a walk." You have to put it on, do you hear me?" Meng Sangyu picked out a small tiger-skin jacket, pointed at Abao's wet nose, and instructed in a serious manner.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou whimpered, wanted to run away but turned back, and finally sat upright in front of Concubine De, posing as if he was at his mercy.

　　That's all, that's all, I owe her too, so she can do whatever she likes! Emperor Wu of Zhou sighed secretly, with a touch of helplessness lingering in his heart. Since the day he knew that Concubine De's eyes were like mirrors and her heart was like glass, he became more and more hard-hearted towards Concubine De.

　　"A Bao is so good!" Meng Sangyu was pleasantly surprised, and lowered his head to kiss the tip of his nose, which made Emperor Zhou Wu's heart beat wildly.

　　Before he had time to experience this electric shock-like feeling, he was rubbed by Meng Sangyu and stuffed into a hooded tiger-skin jacket, with two lifelike tiger ears sewn on the brim of the hat, matching it with Ah Bao The dog's head looks so funny.

　　"Hey~hahaha..." At first he couldn't help laughing, and finally he laughed so hard that Meng Sangyu rolled Abao on the soft couch, a pretty red face, and the phoenix eyes were full of shining streamer, which fascinated Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes .

　　"Well, there seems to be something missing." After rolling around, she put the stupid Abao on the small table and looked around. When she caught a glimpse of the white porcelain vase beside her, her eyes suddenly lit up.

　　"This is perfect!" After cutting a delicate camellia and pinning it to A Bao's ear, Meng Sangyu squeezed his little paw, and fell down on the soft couch laughing again.

　　The crisp and moving laughter echoed in the hall, making the air a bit more lively. Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned, and wanted to pull the camellia off. Seeing the woman's bright and extraordinary smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he finally put down his paw and thought to himself: Let her go! It's rare to see her smile so comfortably.

　　With regards to Concubine De, he kept pushing and pushing, almost going beyond his bottom line. He said he felt guilty so he made some compensation, but the real reason might not even be clear to him.

　　Yincui and Bishui on the side also burst out laughing. Finally stopped laughing, Bi Shui seriously suggested, "Mother, Ah Bao is so cute, please draw him down, so that you can enjoy it later."

　　"That's a good idea." Meng Sangyu rubbed his cheeks sore from a smile, and hugged Emperor Zhou Wu, who was both ashamed and a little bit happy, off the bed.

　　"Come here, Ah Bao, come with me to the study." Putting Ah Bao on the ground, Meng Sangyu walked towards the side hall first. Seeing that A Bao was not unaccustomed to walking in clothes, she quickened her pace slightly.

　　The windows of the study are all wide open, and the light is very abundant. A magnolia is planted in the front window. The strong branches look very strong. One can imagine how hard and soft the magnolia will be when it blooms next spring, which is pleasing to the eye. There are a few osmanthus and wintersweet planted in the back window, smelling the fragrance in autumn and watching the scenery in winter, it is a different enjoyment all year round.

　　After stepping over the threshold, one can see huge bookshelves on three sides at a glance. The books on the shelves cover a wide range of topics, ranging from story books and travel notes to classics and history collections. It is refreshing.

　　In the corner of the bookshelf stands a huge ceramic vase, which is thick and black. Instead of colorful flowers, there are a few skinny dead branches in the vase. It was the first time Emperor Wu of Zhou saw such a weird arrangement, but he felt that it was unexpectedly harmonious, and for no reason it set off a sense of leisurely and freehand brushwork in the room. A yellow pear wood desk is placed by the window, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones displayed one by one, without any extra decorations, not even an incense burner.

　　This study room is extremely simple, but full of mysteries everywhere, it is the most original design that Emperor Wu of Zhou has ever seen. It can be seen from this that the owner of this study is so clever and clever. He stood at the door in a daze for a long time before stepping in, looking at Meng Sangyu who had spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone to paint with complicated eyes.

　　In the past, Bixiao Palace was like a routine, seeing the pretentious and well-dressed concubine De, he always felt very tired, why did he bother to understand her? Why was he willing to stay with her for a moment longer? Therefore, it was his first time visiting this study. Obviously, Concubine De didn't welcome him either, otherwise he wouldn't have never mentioned half a word in three years.

　　In this forbidden palace, who doesn't know that Emperor Wu of Zhou loves to talk about poetry and painting, and study ancient books? In order to cater to the holy will, all the concubines in the harem rushed to dye themselves with the scent of books to attract the emperor's attention, but the concubine De wanted to do the opposite. If it weren't for this situation, he might be deceived by this woman for the rest of his life!

　　Concubine De deliberately created an image of being impulsive, irritable, heartless, and crude to confuse the world. That's why he pampered her, used her, and gave her power and status at the beginning. But the fact is on the contrary, this woman is not only not stupid, but also frighteningly smart! Who would have thought that a little girl who had just turned fourteen would have such deep thoughts? Such a broad vision?

　　If Emperor Wu of Zhou found out the truth a month ago, he would have secretly bestowed on Concubine De to eliminate hidden dangers. But after becoming A Bao, Emperor Wu of Zhou refreshed his misconceptions about Concubine De time and time again, from disgust to appreciation, from rejection to closeness, his current mood was inexplicably lost, and he couldn't even arouse even the slightest anger.

　　That's all, although you have kept a lot of secrets from me, but it seems that you have no evil intentions, so I won't care about you. Emperor Wu of Zhou sighed in his heart, and started wandering around Meng Sangyu's study. He wanted to understand this woman more than ever before, to explore her hidden true face.

　　There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the edge of the bookshelf, all of which are signed by Meng Sangyu. The handwriting is iron and silver hook, vigorous and powerful; Looking at these calligraphy and paintings, and looking at the books on the entire three walls, who would dare to say that Meng Sangyu is an illiterate general and tiger girl? Even Huiru may not be as good as she is!

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou stared at a rather spiritual ink painting, feeling depressed. Damn woman, knowing that I like talented women, will she die if she flatters me a little bit? Do you have to hide it? He twitched his nose and exhaled a puff of turbid air, then pulled the camellia near his ear and threw it on the ground as if to vent his anger.

　　snort! Since you don't want to please me, why should I please you? ! The fleshy little paws thumped on the remains of the camellia, and Emperor Wu of Zhou became more and more aggrieved.

　　"A Bao, you're being mischievous again!" Meng Sangyu watched with gusto while painting, and was almost killed by A Bao's furry appearance.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou who fluttered the camellia froze, he could hardly believe that the naive and ridiculous person just now was himself. Is it possible that after a long time of being a dog, the thinking and behavior will assimilate?

　　Meng Sangyu put down the paintbrush, smiled and hugged Ah Bao to the desk, pointed to a piece of white silk and asked, "Look, Ah Bao, does it look like you?"

　　The puppy on the white silk was dressed in a tiger-skin jacket, with a camellia in its ear, and was scratching with its front paws, with a distressed expression. Although it is only a few strokes, the clever and clever image of the puppy has come to life on the paper.

　　This Ah Bao doesn't look very good, he can't compare to Shih Tzu and Jingba, why does Concubine De like him so much? Emperor Wu of Zhou thought sourly.

　　Seeing that A Bao was looking at his own portrait with his head down, Meng Sangyu smiled, picked up the wolf howl, and wrote A Bao's name and age on the silk, then pinched A Bao's little paw, dipped some ink pad, There is a plum blossom on the signature.

　　"Come on, Abao also sign your autograph. I will help Abao take a portrait in the future, and record all Abao's growth experience for future aftertaste." After wiping off the ink pad, Meng Sangyu hugged Xiaotuanzi, her tone full of pampering and look forward to.

　　Are you treating A Bao as your own child? Because I can't give you an heir? Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly realized something, and the suffocation in his chest was stronger than ever.

　　Since the day of the portrait, Ah Bao has become more well-behaved and quieter. No matter how the concubine De is tossing him, he will let him go, and he will no longer run around, just because he knows that the concubine De is grounded because of himself. This place will definitely become an excuse for those who want to criticize Concubine De.

　　Forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Emperor Wu of Zhou patiently considered the perfect strategy to leave the palace without implicating Concubine De. Before he knew it, he had developed the consciousness to protect Concubine De.

　　Grand Master Shen and Concubine Liang embarked on the road of no return for powerful officials and concubines, just as Meng Sangyu predicted. They wantonly seized power in the former dynasty and the harem, touching the bottom line of Emperor Wu of Zhou a little bit, and killing Emperor Wu of Zhou's emotions time and time again. What was originally just a seed of doubt has grown into a towering tree in just half a month.
