Chapter 206 The big orange who went to the cat star
Chapter 206 Daju who went to Meow Star
Yue Wangshu could see that the imperial concubine was really old. Halfway through the banquet, she lost energy, so Yue Wangshu had to ask the imperial concubine Xiang to accompany the imperial concubine back to Yikang Palace to rest.
Concubine Rong couldn't help but whispered: "The crown prince hasn't been established yet, and the crown prince hasn't been chosen yet. This noble concubine... is really impatient."
Yue Wangshu smiled helplessly, "As you get older, you can't help but worry about things."
Concubine Rong shook her head and said: "The emperor has been as kind as a mountain to the Yu family." - He gave the Yu family a princess, isn't it enough?
When the banquet was over, the red sun was already setting in the west. Amid the respectful farewells from everyone, Yue Wangshu climbed onto the queen's phoenix carriage and took the lead to leave.
Under the twilight, the Yuan Zhi Palace was dyed a golden red. Yue Wangshu walked to the front of the palace, but did not see the familiar Da Ju coming out to greet her, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Since she came to this world, the one who has accompanied her the longest is not Yan Laoliu or A Di, but Da Ju.
It's been twenty years.
Daju is indeed a male cat, he really has a long life.
It is said that a twenty-year-old cat is equivalent to a hundred-year-old human being, which is really not easy.
Yue Wangshu was very pleased and hoped that it would continue to live well.
In the past few years, Daju has become less and less fond of moving and throwing balls. His teeth are not in good condition and he can only eat soft foods.
Yue Wangshu smiled and told the female teacher Gingko: "Ask the kitchen to give Daju some more fish paste tonight." Daju could no longer bite the small dried fish.
"Yes!" The people in Yuanzhi Palace have become accustomed to this big cat being treated like a little master.
It is still a bit cold in spring, but Daju likes to nest on the Buddhist altar in the warm and sunny East Flower Hall, with the flowers and fruits as the company of the Buddha.
Yue Wangshu finished his dinner and came to it. He first offered three sticks of incense to the Bodhisattva. Suddenly, he found that the bowl of dinner with minced meat next to the futon had already cooled down, but he had not yet taken a bite.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but be stunned. Cats' noses are the most sensitive.
"Big orange?" Yue Wangshu hurriedly pushed the big orange lying in a ball on the Buddhist altar. Its fur color was no longer bright, but the big white ball and the small orange ball were still as distinct.
But...this time when she touched it, she felt that Daju's was not soft, but stiff.
Yue Wangshu stumbled and sat down on the futon.
Then, for some reason, my nose became very sore.
Tears rolled down.
The palace maid Dong Xi hurriedly came up to help her: "What's wrong with your Majesty?"
Female Shi Jingui also walked in quickly and saw Daju lying on the Buddhist niche and taking a nap again. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Why did this Daju end up on the Buddhist niche again?" She said, and she went up to hug it away.
Yue Wangshu cleverly grabbed Jin Gui's wrist. Tears had blurred her vision. She could only see the white and yellow one in front of her, lying quietly like that, "Let it sleep."
Jin Gui was a little surprised and uneasy when she saw her mother-in-law crying like this: "My wife, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you?"
When I came back from Shengping Hall, I was obviously fine.
Yue Wangshu closed his eyes: "Twenty years..." Daju, who had been with her for twenty years, was gone like this. She couldn't accept it for a while.
Daju liked this Buddhist niche so much that he let it sleep for one last night, "Don't even touch it."
Jin Gui looked at the motionless Big Ju, and then at the empress who was crying in tears. The empress had always regarded the big cat as half a child. Could it be... But if that was the case, let a dead cat lie on the ground.
It is too disrespectful to the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar.
But seeing the empress like this, Jin Gui really couldn't bear it, so she had to say "yes", "I will help you to go to the back hall to rest."
Jin Gui had served the empress for so many years, and this was the first time he saw her losing her composure. She couldn't help but said, "Why don't you go to the palace and ask the emperor when he will come?"
Yue Wangshu shook his head, "I just want to be alone for a while."
So what if I tell him, he won't understand.
In this day and age, no one would consider a cat to be part of their family.
Fortunately, Yan Zheng has been very busy recently and did not come over tonight. Yue Wangshu asked someone to leave the key. He couldn't help but think of Da Ju who had been by her side day and night over the years -
I remember that when it first arrived, she saved Daju’s life in order to conduct experiments.
At that time, Daju was only a small ball, not much bigger than a palm, but it could catch a koi that was bigger than it.
Then, she went to Rose Ridge and took Daju with her. During her time in Rose Ridge, Daju lived like a wild cat. Every spring, she would go out to have a tryst with the little female cat...
After returning to the palace, Daju accompanied her from noble concubine to pure concubine to pure noble concubine and then to the queen.
Gradually, it becomes old and no longer lively and active.
Now, I can't move at all.
Yue Wangshu didn't know what made him fall asleep. When he woke up, his eyelids were swollen. He had obviously been mentally prepared for it, but when the day came, he was still so out of sorts.
Early in the morning, the eldest palace maid Xia An came to report: "Your Majesty, Daju... your body is hard."
Yue Wangshu closed his eyes and said, "Send it to Rose Ridge and bury it under the rose forest tree." That was its favorite place.
"If I die, I want to be buried there." Yue Wangshu murmured.
The faces of the palace maids around her turned pale for a moment. Female Shi Jingui hurriedly said: "Why do you say such nonsense? You are still young!"
Even if we give back 10,000 yuan, in a hundred years, as the empress, the empress will have to enter the imperial mausoleum! How can she be buried in that kind of place?!
Yue Wangshu smiled bitterly: "I just said it casually." - In fact, when a person dies and his soul is gone, it doesn't matter where he is buried? Why is he buried in the rose forest? Daju doesn't need it at all. She has to find some for herself.
It's just comfort. It's not as meaningful as donating it to a veterinarian for dissection. It's just that no veterinarian in this world has such a need.
She signed a donation agreement before she died in her previous life, and even the burial expenses were waived.
Emperor Yan Zheng came to Yuanzhi Palace in the afternoon and saw Yue Wangshu's eyes were red. After asking, he realized that it was just a dead cat.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'll ask the cattery to pick a better one for you!"
Yue Wangshu glanced at the dog man coldly and said, "No, I don't want to keep a cat anymore in my life." My cat just died, and that's what you said?!
Yan Zheng was frozen by this look, and couldn't help but curse: Isn't it just a cat? As for...
"Twenty years have passed and I still don't know when I will die." Yue Wangshu muttered and started to say taboo words again.
Yan Zheng's expression changed: "I hope Shu Ke will stay with me till we grow old."
Yue Wangshu misses the modern world a little bit. If he could go back, who would want to be the queen?
Yue Wangshu sighed tiredly, "Liu Lang, I suddenly feel very tired."
Daju left, and she felt even more lonely.
Yan Zheng's eyebrows softened a lot, and he hurriedly took her into his arms, "There is still me, I will always be with you."
That's all, although it's not as good as Da Ju, but at least it's a chest to lean on, which is better than nothing.
