Cui house.

Outside the window, the plum blossoms have already bloomed and fallen, and the breath of spring has quietly enveloped the capital without knowing it. In the early morning, the birds chirped and hopped on the branches.

Chu Yingying was sitting in front of the window, and there were various medicinal herbs on the table in front of her. She took a few of them, put them into the pestle and pounded them slowly until all the dried herbs were crushed. Powder is enough.

She carefully poured the gray-black medicinal powder into the porcelain cup. Jiang Yi stood aside and asked curiously, "Ma'am, what are these medicines for?"

Chu Yingying smiled, picked up a little with a small spoon, and said deliberately, "Guess."

Jiang Yi shook her head, she thought for a while, and tried to go over to smell it, but was stopped by Chu Yingying, and said with a smile: "This can't be touched casually."

"Oh," Jiang Yi still had some curiosity in his eyes: "Is it a very precious medicine?"

"No," Chu Yingying tightly covered the porcelain cup, and said, "The medicinal materials are common, but after smelling them, people will become foolish."

Jiang Yi was startled, Chu Yingying couldn't help laughing when she saw her small appearance: "I lied to you."

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, patted her heart, and said angrily: "Madam will scare slaves."

While the two were talking, a servant girl from outside came in and said to Chu Yingying, "Ma'am, the car from the palace is here, it's at the gate."

Chu Yingying stood up and said, "I see, this is the end."

She has an appointment with Concubine Yong, and today she will go to Zhaoming Temple to offer incense with her. When she exits the gate, Chu Yingying sees the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion waiting. I'm waiting for you, please get in the car."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Concubine Yong was indeed sitting inside, smiling and waving to Chu Yingying. After getting into the carriage, she gave an order, and the carriage started to drive towards the end of the street.

Princess Yong asked expectantly: "Son, have you brought anything?"

"Bring it," Chu Yingying took out a small package, which she had prepared before.

Concubine Yong was relieved and started talking to her about other things. The two talked and laughed together. After half an hour, the carriage stopped and Zhaoming Temple arrived.

The incense in Zhaoming Temple has always been at its peak. Today's weather is good, many pilgrims come and go here, and the carriages and horses are crowded at the foot of the mountain, many of them are dignitaries, but even so, the carriages of Prince Yong's Mansion are still a bit conspicuous here.

Concubine Yong took Chu Yingying up the mountain, and when she arrived in front of Zhaoming Temple, she said to the maidservants following her: "You don't have to go in, Mrs. Xie and I can just take Jingmo."

Naturally, the servants of the palace had no objection. It was obviously not the first time Princess Yong came here. She brought Chu Yingying to the main hall with familiarity, lit incense, and donated some incense money to the merit box before leaving the main hall.

Concubine Yong stood at the entrance of the main hall, pulled Chu Yingying to the path on the right, and said, "This way."

The Zhaoming Temple is very large, passing through bamboo forests and lotus ponds along the way, getting more and more remote. Seeing that there are mountains in front of her, Princess Yong stopped and said, "I remember it seems to be here."

There was a small slope in front of it, and there was a bodhi tree growing on the slope, which seemed to be quite old. Concubine Yong walked up to it, turned around, opened her eyes wide in surprise, and waved to Chu Yingying: "Son, it's here!"

Chu Yingying went over to look, and saw a few small furry animals nesting in the hole of the bodhi tree, making meowing noises and huddled together, she asked in surprise, "Is it a wild cat?"

Concubine Yong nodded, and said to herself, "Strange, where is that big cat?"

At this time, Jing Mo suddenly called out: "Princess, there."

Chu Yingying and the two followed and saw a cat standing under the slope, with gray fur and black patterns on it. It looked very majestic, but Chu Yingying saw it at a glance. The right paw seemed to be injured, standing on tiptoe slightly, it was still stained with dried blood, and the hair was tangled in a mess.

Concubine Yong beckoned to it, gently teased it to come over, and explained to Chu Yingying: "I saw that it was injured when I came yesterday, but unfortunately I didn't bring any medicine with me, so I can't bandage it."

The gray cat seemed to recognize Princess Yong, walked up the slope slowly, and meowed at them. Princess Yong gave Jingmo a wink, and Jingmo quickly took out something, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and wrapped it in a layer. The layers were uncovered, and there were several pieces of dried fish inside.

She put the dried fish on the ground, and the gray cat stepped forward to sniff it, and began to eat, letting Chu Yingying examine its injured paw.

Chu Yingying looked at the wound and said, "It seems to be bitten by something."

Princess Yong was a little worried: "Can it be cured? You won't be lame in the future, right?"

Chu Yingying replied: "I can't be lame. Small animals like cats and dogs recover quickly after being injured. This is actually much better than humans."

As she spoke, she opened the package she brought and cleaned the wound for the gray cat. Princess Yong sighed, watched the cat eat, and said thoughtfully: "It's not easy to be a cat." things."

This sounded a little silly, Chu Yingying couldn't help laughing: "There is no easy thing in this world? It's just like drinking water, knowing whether it's warm or not."

As she spoke, she sprinkled the medicine powder on the cat's wound, and continued: "You see the cat is injured, and you feel sorry for it, but how do you know if the cat is happy? It lives in Zhaoming Temple, Having enough to eat every day, with a group of children by your side, free and unfettered, much more relaxed than ordinary people like us, a fish is not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?"

Concubine Yong was a little dazed when she heard this, but she came to her senses after a while, nodded and said: "Yingying makes sense."

She said, turned her head to look at Chu Yingying, and said with a smile: "You always know something, sometimes I always feel that you are like my elder."

Chu Yingying also laughed lightly, with slightly curved eyebrows, and said, "I'm already older than you, so it's normal to know more."

"Okay," she said as she tied the cotton yarn into a beautiful knot, patted the gray cat's fluffy head, and said, "In two days, I will be able to walk as usual."

The gray cat seemed to understand, looked up at her, meowed, picked up the small dried fish on the ground and jumped into the tree hole, the kittens crowded inside immediately screamed in unison, stumbled Hug towards it.

The gray cat put the dried fish in the tree hole, and the kittens scrambled to bite on their stomachs, but their teeth hadn't fully grown, so they couldn't bite at all, but even so, they were very happy and meowed loudly .

A kitten was squeezed to the edge of the tree hole. When it was about to fall, the gray cat poked its head, grabbed the fur on its neck, and put it away.

Seeing this warm scene, Chu Yingying couldn't help but smile, her gaze passed over the little kittens, she was stunned for a moment, and said, "What is this?"

Jing Mo came over and took a look, only to see a little wet fur stuck to the back of a kitten. She hesitated and said, "It seems to be blood."

Concubine Yong immediately became nervous and asked, "Why are you bleeding?"

Chu Yingying frowned, she looked carefully, and suddenly reached out and turned the gray cat's paw over, it was stained with blood and still a little wet.

With a serious expression on her face, she said, "It's just been stained, the blood is not dry yet."
