"Your Highness ......" The words have been said to this point, want to take back is impossible, Xue Yao can only do his best to fool Princess Shih: "I was six years old when I went with my grandmother to the temple to burn incense, by chance was a high man as a disciple, which gradually opened up the spirit of wisdom. That's how I came to be a disciple of a master, and that's how I gradually gained my spiritual wisdom.
Half a year ago, my master predicted that the Offer would affect tens of thousands of people, as well as you and the Seventh Prince, so he ordered me to intervene.
Previously, I have not been able to disclose the true source of information because Master was unwilling to enter the world, but now that I see that I am about to fail Master's mandate, I am compelled to tell you this secret!"
The expression on Princess Shio's face shifted between "this kid is crazy" and "he really doesn't look like an ordinary kid", and finally inquired skeptically, "The Higher Power asked you to come and warn me to avoid the calamity? How can I ......"
"It's because of the Seventh Prince." Xue Yao spoke with certainty.
"Because of Old Seven?" Princess Shio asked suspiciously, "What happened to Old Seven?"
Xue Yao stared at her and said, "The Seventh Prince, is a future big shot that concerns the fate of the country."
There was a moment of silence, her mind was filled with her son's silly appearance as he chewed on the mung bean cake and couldn't speak well, Shih Fei's face was filled with disbelief: "How can this be possible?"
Xue Yao: "......"
What's with the look of disgust?
I'm afraid you're not even your own mother!
"This is Master's projection, I don't know exactly, I only know that Master's projection has never been wrong." Xue Yao continued to fool around.
Concubine Shih thought briefly, took a deep breath, and said in a warm voice, "You'd better go to the side hall to rest for a while, this matter will be discussed later."
Xue Yao was instantly disheartened, this is what Princess Shi Shi meant by not believing.
"Niang Niang!" Xue Yao said urgently, "This is the last resort! Now that the Grand Prince is involved, if we don't give it a go, our future may be even worse than expected!"
Concubine Shih frowned bitterly, ''Xue Yao, I believe you when you say you're an Immortal's disciple, but if I'm asked to use witchcraft words to dissuade the construction of the Shu Road, and if it doesn't come true, that's much more serious than Lord Qin's dereliction of duty, and it's a major crime that would result in the death of your head! How do you expect me to believe that your master's prophecies will never fail? If Lao Qi was a grown man now, I would have risked my life to fight with you, but he's still too young, I'd rather be scorned by the ages than leave my child unsupported!"
Xue Yao was dumbfounded.
Shih Fei is right, she does not need to give up her life for the sake of reputation, she lost her life, the seventh prince is really no dependence, the two sides of the trade-off, naturally do not dare to take this risk.
Concubine Shio soothed, "Well, today is really lackluster, rest for a while and have dinner together in a while."
Xue Yao looked at her fixedly, making a final struggle, "Your Highness, we can not discourage Offer Shu Road, but persuade the Emperor to extend the construction period, to extend the three to five years of construction period to ten to thirteen years, things are slow is round, the construction period is extended, each batch of conscripts will be able to shrink by more than half, and the intensity of the labor force will also be greatly cut down, so as not to stir up the people's grievances."
Concubine Shih sighed, "His Majesty can't wait to fix the Shu Road next year, where would he be willing to wait for more than ten years?"
Xue Yao advised, "This is much easier than getting the Emperor to give up on building the Shu Road, and by the time the prophecy of a natural disaster is fulfilled at the Shang Yuan Festival, the chances of getting him to make a slight concession will be much higher!"
Princess Shio hesitated, predicting a natural disaster like this was too metaphysical, or asked in a low voice, "What if it doesn't come true? I'm still a felon."
Xue Yao took a deep breath and licked his anxiously dry lips, countless thoughts flew through his mind before he suddenly made sure to look at Consort Shi: "This prophecy can be told to the Emperor by the Seventh Prince."
Concubine Shio froze, "How would Old Seven know anything about this!"
Xue Yao explained, "His Highness has a superb memory, as long as we let Aunt Po say the prophecy in front of him once, and then when he gets along with the Emperor, we'll signal from the sidelines for him to repeat the words. When the Emperor asks after him, he will say that it is the divination of your old family witch, and that children's words are not reckless, and the Emperor will not hold the Seventh Prince responsible."
Concubine Shio frowned, "Then won't my Aunt Po be killed?"
Xue Yao explained, ''There is the taboo of not being able to kill for a project before a major project, besides the Emperor is not completely unreasonable, Lord Qin was beaten because his divination results were overturned. There is no other Aunt Poi in the palace, if the Emperor wants to overturn Aunt Poi's prophecy, he will have to wait at least until after the Shang Yuan Festival!
If the prophecy is fulfilled, then all will be happy, and if it is not fulfilled, the pursuit of blame will not involve you and the Grand Prince, it will only be rewarding Aunt Po with a slap on the wrist, but I can assure you that the prophecy will come true!"
The room was suddenly silent.
Shi Fei was truly confident now, and the way she gazed at Xue Yao was almost worshipful.
This little kid was so smart that she dared to believe it when she said he was a little god.
"Well? Your Highness?" Xue Yao's mouth was dry with anxiety, "This is already considered a foolproof plan for the moment, if Aunt Po has the slightest misstep, I, Xue Yao, will be the first to bury her with her."
Princess Shio agreed.
*
A big stone in his heart fell to the ground, Xue Yao went to the side hall to rest for a while, not long after Shi Fei called for a meal, the palace maid asked him to go over, the seventh prince was also carried, placed next to Shi Fei.
The prince's main meal, there are meals palace maid aside to watch, to pay attention to the nutrition with as well as seven minutes full.
So every time you eat in the palace, are the same as a duel - His Highness wants to eat what, the meal courtesans are discouraged, the scene was once very out of control!
"Want want want!" The Seventh Prince's chubby little finger pointed at the roasted lamb stick in the center of the table.
"Your Highness has already eaten lots and lots of roasted meat in the middle of the day, right?" The dietary courtesan sternly discouraged.
"Very, very little roast!" The Seventh Prince refused to admit it!
Xue Yao was caught off guard with a poof of laughter.
Infected as well, Princess Shio snorted and chucked a goat stick into her son's bowl, joking, "Eat up my big man."
Xue Yao: "......"
Princess Shio was clearly still laughing at his comment that the Seventh Prince would become a great man in the future.
This is very not giving face to Long Ao Tian, how can a mom look down on her son!
His Highness is fat, yes, but there's still the slightest hint of a big man.
For example, at the age of three, he could crush a Want Want milk carton, and at the age of three, he had as much food as the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince combined!
Seeing that her son's hands were full of oil from grabbing the goat stick, Princess Shio reached out and tried to help him roll up his sleeves so he wouldn't get his clothes dirty.
However, the seventh prince's instinct to protect his food was aroused the moment he saw a hand coming, and suddenly he twisted his little chubby body, turning his back to Princess Shio and protecting the goat stick!
Princess Shio was angry now, dropping her hand and staring murderously at the back of her son's head.
When the Seventh Prince realized that the hand that had just reached out came from his own mother, it was already too late, and turning back, His Highness hurriedly stretched out his oily little chubby hand, and handed the goat stick, which was gnawed to the point that there was still a diced piece of meat left, to Consort Shio.
For a cub of this ton to be willing to give up a bone is a sign of survival, leaving at least one morsel of meat for its mother.
Princess Shio's mouth pouted, her mind hurt by the small gesture her son had just twisted away from her.
The Seventh Prince's almost non-existent sixth sense might have sensed the danger.
Seeing that Shih Fei refused to take the bone, His Highness strenuously reached out and gently put the drooling sheep stick into the turtle soup in front of Shih Fei ......
His Highness raised his eyes once, his shallow pupils looking at Consort Shio through his long eyelashes, and his little bun's face was filled with a gentle warmth like jade, "Eat, master is full."
Thus, Xue Yao had the honor of witnessing a scene of domestic violence by Princess Shi Shi on the spot ......
A few moments later, the right half of the Seventh Prince's ear was wrung red by Consort Shio, and looked vaguely larger than the left ear.
But the seventh prince did not dare to be angry nor dare to speak, the little fat hand scratched the painful and itchy right ear, and weakly pointed with the palace maid to the osmanthus honey cake that had just been on the table.
Shi Fei closed her eyes in despair, completely losing faith in Xue Yao's prediction that her son was a future big shot.
"I heard the Empress Mother mention early on that when the eldest prince was three years old, he saw his mother eating fish and got stuck by the thorns, and ever since then, when the Empress eats fish, the eldest prince has to clip it into his own bowl first and pick out the thorns one by one before giving it to the Empress to eat."
With a jealous face, after finishing the Empress's previous deeds of showing off her son's filial piety, Consort Shio slanted her eyes and glared at the little chubby cub nibbling on the cinnamon cake beside her, her face filled with the words "Look at you again!" .
Xue Yao looked down and stifled a laugh.
It turns out that Long Ao Tian also had to endure the cruel comparison of "other people's children" when he was a cub!
Speaking of the Grand Prince picking the Queen's fish spines, even the original story mentions it.
After the seventh prince Lu Qian ascended the throne, he honored the two dowagers of the two palaces, in addition to Princess Shih, there was also the Empress.
As we all know, Shi Fei and the Empress have a very bad relationship, once upon a time when the Empress's son was the Crown Prince, the Empress gave Shi Fei through a lot of small shoes, I did not expect that now the wind and water have turned around.
When Xue Yao read the novel, she thought that Lu Qianzun sealed the empress in order to change the pattern so that Consort Shi would step on the empress's head, but now that she was in the middle of it, she had a different understanding.
King Ning may have been trying to honor his birth mother for the dead Abolished Prince.
It took a deeper look to understand the many conflicting storylines in the original.
There was a verbal altercation between Consort Shio and the Empress, who taunted her about presenting a dance to a foreign prince, and was so angry that Consort Shio ran off to jump on the Emperor's son.
The Empress knew that she had gone too far, and knowing that King Ning was ruthless, she felt that her death was not far off.
Soon after, I heard that the emperor is rushing to their own palace, the empress heart, decided to die before a hard time, even the white silk are ready themselves, intends to curse in front of the emperor out of anger.
The original episode seemed so contradictory that when Xue Yao read it, he felt that the author had written the characters ooc.
Although Lu Qian honored the Empress as the Empress Dowager, he usually didn't pay any attention to this little old lady, and he couldn't talk about respect at all.
The King of Ning to their own people and "unrelated people" is very clear, protect the shortcomings of the ruthless, this kind of thing happened, according to the original character of the King of Ning, the Queen should not even have a whole body.
But in the original, Lu Qian, who became the emperor, actually went to beg the Empress to apologize to Consort Shi in a serious manner.
Not a command, but a "request", the attitude is particularly submissive and humble, but also called for an imperial meal, please the Queen to eat and talk.
The Empress, who was ready to die, made a scene and took up white silk and hung it from the roof beams.
Lu Qian stepped forward to block.
The Empress didn't stop and accidentally scratched Lu Qian's handsome face.
Now, the Empress was shocked and confused, clutching the white silk and freezing in place.
Lu Qian also lost his previous deferential attitude and coldly said, "Eat."
The Empress threw away the white silk and obediently sat down at the table to eat.
Afraid of their own like Tong Fei's brother, by Lu Qian cut into human sticks, the Queen was so scared that she devoured, eating and crying, actually said anything that "if Jinan is still there, it's good".
Lu Jinan is the dead Abolished Prince.
To say this was to be displeased with the current emperor, and the Empress finished her sentence, feeling regretful that she feared her tongue would be cut out as well.
Turning his head, he saw Lu Qian indifferently approaching.
The handsome face that inherited the demon consort's face was appallingly cold, and with a lift of his dragon robe, he sat down next to her ......
The Queen was so frightened that she almost died on the spot.
However, Lu Qian did not pull out the sword to cut her tongue, just silently clamped a piece of fish maw, personally pick out the fish thorns one by one, and finally clamped it into her bowl and got up to leave the palace.
While reading the book, Xue Yao felt that the characters in this episode were completely inconsistent and falling apart.
At this moment, recalling this episode and sneaking a glance at the little chubby cub who was nibbling on a sugar cake, Xue Yao actually rose with a heartbreaking warmth.
It was as if, at the end of the day, the land dive didn't turn into a purely icy weapon.
He still remembers his big brother who loved to pinch his bun face, and he still thinks about filial piety to the Empress on behalf of his big brother.
Xue Yao had mixed feelings in her heart, while Little Fatty had already finished his sugar cake and took the initiative to jump off the small bench, impatiently going around the eight immortal table and grabbing the hem of Xue Yao's coat, "Come on, Yao Yao, tell a story and eat two milks."
Xue Yao: "......"
We never had such an agreement between us ah hello!
You don't make blind assurances to yourself!
