third chapter

Wu Zhen was driven out of the hall by Queen Wu, and her words echoed in her ears: "Go back and wait for marriage."

She shrugged, carried her whip and walked out, thinking about something while walking. When she passed by a long corridor, she met the emperor. The emperor was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand and muttering something in his mouth, looking obsessed with her. More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids quietly bowed their heads behind him.

Wu Zhen stopped and saluted and shouted to His Majesty. When the emperor heard her voice, he pulled his eyes out of the music score in his hand and glanced at her. Seeing her 'both men and women' dress, the emperor was very happy, but he didn't say anything, but just asked kindly: "It's Er Niang, come to see the queen?"

Wu Zhen: "Yes, I just came out of His Highness."

The emperor shook the stack of paper in his hand at her and said mysteriously: "Er Niang, do you know what this is?"

Wu Zhen knew, "Your Majesty's new song?"

The emperor laughed a few times and said proudly: "Yes, this new song, the imperial concubine said it was good, and I am very satisfied. Let the musicians in Xingyuan learn it and arrange a music and dance, and then you will come and enjoy it together!"

The reason why the emperor was so kind to Wu Zhen was because she was Empress Wu's sister, and the other was because they were like alike and both loved music and dance. The emperor recognized her ability to appreciate music and dance, and it was not once or twice to call her to the palace to enjoy music and dance.

After a few conversations with Wu Zhen, the emperor hurriedly left, looking at the direction, heading towards Xingyuan, where the dancers and musicians performed.

Wu Zhen continued to walk along the corridor. If she wanted to leave the palace and return to the Duke of Yu's mansion, she should go to Xufeng Gate, but she walked straight to Jianxing Gate, passed the wide square paved with white marble, and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.

After the emperor and empress moved to the Daming Palace, the offices of the ministers moved one after another, but not all of them were moved. Some of the information in the official offices was too large to be moved. The emperor was not very busy on weekdays, so he simply left it in the Tai Chi Palace. For example, the Ministry of Justice, there were a few officials who were still in the Tai Chi Palace, and the officials in the department were naturally there.

The Mei family's Dalang was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. If she wanted to see the other party, of course she had to go to Tai Chi Palace.

Wu Zhen is a famous idle man, and he wandered around Tai Chi Palace and Daming Palace. He had a clear understanding of the basic roads. When he was familiar with the path, he could reach the vicinity of the Ministry of Justice. However, she was a idle man and just went in so big, which was not good. Moreover, when she came, her father and sister both told her to make sure that she should not scare her Mei Dalangjun.

Wu Zhen thought, and looked around and saw an idle palace nearby, and then he plunged into the house. After a while, the vermilion door was pushed open, and it was not Wu Zhen, but a gray-black cat with orange-yellow eyes and clean and fluffy hair. The cat narrowed its eyes towards the dazzling sunshine, stepped on the eaves of the palace, and ran towards the office of the Ministry of Justice like a wind.

There was no figure in the palace where the tabby cat had come out before, only the crimson round necklace worn by Wu Zhen and her horse whip were placed on the beam.

Several minor officials from the Ministry of Justice were breathing under the corridor, talking about the ladies in Pingkangfang with a gaze. When they saw a tabby cat walking calmly, they looked down from a high place, and no one looked at them.

No one paid attention to the tabby cat walking straight on the eaves, so she slowly glanced at the scenery and looked for someone. In fact, Wu Zhen hadn't been here twice and was not very familiar with him. Now that he has become a cat, he can't ask someone where the Mei family Dalang is, so he can only find it by himself.

Finding someone is really not an easy job, especially I don’t know what Mei Dalang looks like. Wu Zhen wandered around the official office for a long time but didn’t find anyone. While lying on the wall to rest, he suddenly heard the conversation between two minor officials.

"What should I do if these are the same?"

"Send it to Doctor Mei, and then he will copy and sign it and deposit it in the warehouse."

As soon as the words Mei Langzhong were heard, Wu Zhen immediately became energetic and stood up and followed the person. As the little official holding a pile of official documents walked, he suddenly saw a tabby cat following the wall beside him. His eyes lit up and he reached out to her, "Cat's come~Cat's come~"

The few long beards on Wu Zhen's mouth moved. When she was walking outside, some people who like cats always waved to her like this. It seems that this person also likes cats.

However, this gentleman had some small spots on his face, as if he had buried his face in a sesame pot, and a piece of sesame seeds were stuck...

The little official called out, and suddenly saw the lazy tabby cat stretching out its claws, plucking a small piece of gravel on the wall, and hitting it straight onto his forehead, making him utter a sigh of relief.

The sesame-faced young man could only sigh at the wall, touched his forehead and continued to walk forward. While walking, he turned around frequently and saw the tabby cat following slowly. However, when he walked to the Mei Doctor, he looked up again and the tabby cat that followed him was gone.

The minor official sent the official documents and left. Wu Zhen did not leave. She squatted on an eaves, facing an open window opposite. There was a figure at the desk inside the window, which was the Mei family Dalang she was looking for.

He was wearing a light-colored official robe and a black veil with a squid head. Judging from his back, he was tall and tall. Yes, Mei Dalang had his back facing the window, so Wu Zhen could not see his face at all.

The eaves she squatted were still too far from the opposite side. Wu Zhen looked at a tall tung tree planted in front of the window, jumped off the eaves, and climbed up the tung tree that was very close to the window.

The tung tree is blooming. The tung flower is the most prosperous flower in late spring. Now it is almost blooming. A piece of white has accumulated on the bluestone floor. When Wu Zhen jumped onto the branches, the piles of tung flowers on the branches were like wind swept across it, falling all over the ground.

Wu Zhen walked forward until the branch was pressed down by the weight of the tabby cat, and she was close enough to the window. Then she stopped, and Ansheng held the cat's paws and stayed on the branches full of tung flowers, looking at the back in the window.

Under the warm late spring sunshine, the tung flowers emit a faint fragrance, which makes people feel sleepy for no reason. The raccoon flowers on the tree yawned, revealing a pointed white teeth.

With his tail hanging down on the branches of the tung flower, Wu Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at Mei Langjun, from his meticulously tied his hair into the black veil, to his slender neck, to his back that was not very wide but tall enough, downward was the waist that was tightly tied with a belt... Tsk, thin, this waist is good. The raccoon on the tree moved its hair and claws.

I don’t know if I felt something, Mei Dalang, who was working at the desk in the room, suddenly turned his head and looked at the window. He happened to look at the tabby cat on the tung blossom branch outside the window.

Seeing the scene of the raccoon flower pressing against the tung flower, the plum blossoms were not surprised at all, but just watched the raccoon cat shaking tremblingly with the wind and the tung flower branches.

Wu Zhen finally saw the appearance of Mei Langjun and thought to himself: It's okay, it's not ugly.

Who is Wu Zhen? She has seen a few handsome men. The Mei Langjun in front of her is probably only considered in the middle. Her appearance is not amazing, but she looks quite comfortable. He looks different from her young cousin Mei Si, and she doesn't look like Qingyan's Concubine Mei. If she has to choose a word to describe her, it is probably "Qingzheng".

His eyes were calm and cold, and his expression was clear and slightly sharp. This sharpness was not as cold as a sword, but a cold and solemn aura unique to those who were in charge of punishment.

Looking at Lang Jun's self-centered temperament, Wu Zhen sighed secretly. To be honest, she would not be able to deal with such serious people at first glance.

Mei Langjun turned his head and looked at the tabby cat outside the window. His raised wrist was hanging in the air. The ink on the pen had not fallen for a long time, and a drop of ink was dripped on the paper. He turned around and discarded the ink-stained paper aside, preparing to use it for his own use, and took a new piece of paper to continue working.

Wu Zhen also saw it. It was almost time to leave, but she didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was too lazy to move, so she continued to stay there looking at Mei Langjun's back.

After watching for a long time, she couldn't help but mutter. People always go out for a while to breathe and chat with their colleagues, "I'm lazy." This Mei Langjun is so nice. She didn't see him moving when she sat down, and the pen didn't stop. There was only a few sides of the desk and the more papers it piled up.

I don’t know how long it took, Mei Langjun finally got up. Wu Zhen, who was dozing, raised his head and looked over, and said in his heart again. Before he could see it while sitting, she found that Mei Da Langjun was too tall. Her own height was the best among women, and she was not inferior to many men. Mei Langjun was half a head taller than her.

I don’t know if it’s because he is too tall, but Wu Zhen feels that after he stands up, he looks thinner. This kind of thinness is indeed a noble scholar.

Mei Langjun walked out of the room, Wu Zhen also stood up, jumped up from the branch and jumped into the window. She was about to go to the desk to take a look.

As a result, he was confused when he accidentally chose the place to land. He stepped on the inkstone with one paw, and the furry white front paws were immediately stained with black ink. Wu Zhen pressed the cat's paws on the piece of waste paper without hesitation, preparing to wipe it first.

Several cat paw marks were left on the piece of waste paper. Mei Langjun came back. He went to get water to drink, but when he came in, he found that there was a tabby cat standing on his desk, which was not afraid of people. He didn't escape even after he caught it. He even put a plum blossom mark on the paper under his nose.

I didn't drink a sip of the pot of water that the Mei Langjun took, and I used it to wash the paws of the tabby cat.

Wu Zhen felt that Mei Langjun didn't look like a person who likes cats, so when he washed her paws with water, Wu Zhen was really surprised.

After washing his paws, Mei Langjun saw the tabby cat swaying its wet paws, and suddenly put the pot aside and handed his sleeve to the tabby cat.

The tabby cat paused, then naturally pressed the cat's paws on his sleeve and rubbed them dry.

Rubbing his paws dry, the tabby cat jumped out of the window, and Mei Langjun continued to work.
