"Brother right don't worry, we were ordered by the emperor to go to the Green Vault Palace to apologize, even if the Seventh Prince refuses to forgive, that will have to wait for the emperor to dispose of us, Princess Shih won't just make things difficult for us." Xue Yao actually didn't know any palace rules, but in his heart, he knew very well that Consort Shi really wouldn't make things difficult for the two of them.
Consort Shio was a dancer from a foreign country who paid tribute to the Emperor of Daqi, and because of her stunning beauty, she was adopted by the Emperor as a concubine, and after giving birth to a son, she was elevated to the rank of consort.
According to the description in the original text, although Daqi's attitude towards the state is more tolerant, but will not allow people mixed with foreign blood to inherit the throne, so, although the King of Ning has been favored, but always able to survive in the cracks, did not become the target of the six brothers to seize the throne.
As for Concubine Shi, as Long Ao Tian's mother, she should be a gentle and generous person as a rule, and would never use torture to retaliate against an eight year old like Xue Yao just because her son's toys were dropped.
The original text doesn't describe much about Princess Shio's character, the general impression is that she's an uncontested fairy.
The episodes about her are mainly depicting how beautiful she is, so much so that after the Emperor's death, King Ning went to his fiefdom and actually kept hearing about people in the palace hitting on his own mother, Concubine Shio.
This was one of the catalysts for King Ning to finally relent and swing north.
Therefore, Xue Yao was psychologically prepared, this time when he went to the Green Vault Palace, if he could get to see Consort Shio, no matter how beautiful she was, he could not look dumbfounded, and it was best if his eyes didn't even lift up, so as not to give the Ning King a chance to hold a grudge, thinking that he coveted Consort Shio's beauty.
"You're being naive in saying this." Qinghe didn't buy it, "You humiliated the Seventh Prince that day, and the Emperor asked us to come to the door to apologize, that's giving Princess Shi Shi the chance to lynch us, can she let us go?"
Xue Yao was a little depressed in his heart.
He kind of realized that this Dragon Ao Tian novel, although the storyline is illogical for the sake of being cool, and when he reads it, he feels that the villains don't have much brains, but in reality, the world is functioning normally in the plots that are not covered in the book, and the cannon fodder are also people with normal intelligence.
Xue Yao is also an ordinary person, and doesn't get to hang on to his intelligence to beat the ordinary people in the book.
Let's just say that this attendant Qinghe, who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, was already much more mature in speech, demeanor, and mindset than Xue Yao's own twelve or thirteen year old self.
Just now, that sentence "You humiliated the Seventh Prince that day", in a lighthearted manner, put all the blame on Xue Yao's head!
Xue Yao, of course, did not recognize it, and spoke with a not-so-good face, "That day, even if I was the first to propose it, but without your pandering flinging, it wouldn't have come to pass."
Qinghe's face changed, beating his chest, "I also don't know what kind of ecstasy I ate at that time! I actually dared to move earth on the head of the seventh prince, looking back ...... alas! In the end, it was you who started it!"
With a clench of his teeth and a stamp of his foot, he pointed at Xue Yao with his gauze wrapped hand and angrily said, "One person does what one person does! I've taken a beating for you, I can't take the next one anymore, so you're on your own for this trip to the Green Vault Palace!"
Xue Yao couldn't help but laugh and cry, especially at his phrase "I don't know what kind of ecstasy I've taken".
Wasn't it the author who forced the IQ down on you cannon fodder for the sake of a facepalm plot?
Qinghe saw that he did not say anything, his face smiled strangely, fearing that he was a fish out of water, immediately softened his tone again, holding his injured hand and lamented, "The main thing is that I am so stupid with this mouth, going with you, instead of not being able to help, it may also add ...... to the situation."
"Alright." Xue Yao interrupted him and smiled, "I understand what brother means, the trouble was caused by us together, it's fair for one person to bear the responsibility once, and it's just fair for little brother to do the apologizing alone."
Bringing Qinghe along could indeed cause trouble, and even if he was precocious, he was still a child, so it would be better for him to come to the door alone.
However, words must be clear, Xue Yao deliberately emphasized that "the trouble was caused by us together", and this time, he alone took on the task of apologizing, which is considered to be clear, don't want to use the favor of being beaten again to pressure him.
Upon hearing this, Qing He quickly eased his face and pretended to be worried, "Then it's hard on you this time."
Xue Yao said, "Hard work can't be talked about, it's just that I came to the door empty-handed to apologize, I really don't have much certainty, and if I don't leave a backhand, even if I get beaten once for nothing on this trip, you and I will be disqualified from serving as readers five days later."
Qinghe heart also pondered to avoid a board, did not think that this young Yao Ge'er has thought of the next layer, can not help but admire: "or younger brother to think thoroughly, if you want to send a gift, of course, our brothers should work together, at least to send a mother to see over the eyes of the thing."
Xue Yao waved his hand and said, "Consort Shih is rewarded by the Emperor every day, so where can we get a gift that she can appreciate? How about the right medicine, my idea is to directly give the seventh prince guarantee: within three days, repair the toy wooden horse, as is returned! In addition to sending a gadget to offer, this pass, perhaps can pass."
Qinghe's eyes lit up, and it occurred to him that coaxing the young seventh prince would definitely be much easier than coaxing Consort Shi, and as long as the young prince was satisfied, the debt would naturally be written off.
Repairing the Trojan horse is undoubtedly the most cost-effective and labor-saving method, and when I think about it, I can't help but praise Xue Yao.
Xue Yao, however, went on to say, "The wooden horse is a large object, and to bring it out of the palace for restoration, it will still cost money to fix, so I plan to directly let the craftsmen of the Inner Officials' Supervision help to fix it, and I remember that my brother, in the Inner Officials' Supervision, seems to have a friend who has a good friendship?"
Qinghe immediately replied, "That's fine! You carry out the wooden horse and I'll take you to your friend in the Inner Officials' Supervisor and just say something!"
The two men conferred and said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Later that day, Xue Yao came to the Green Vault Hall alone.
The eunuch went in to inform the Huisheng courtesan, learned that it was the emperor sent to apologize for the readers, and then let in.
Xue Yao was arranged to wait in the flower hall and never saw Consort Shi show up.
It did seem that the fairies were magnanimous enough to press the matter.
How come King Ning hasn't inherited his mom's belly?
After an interval of about ten minutes, the palace maid brought the Seventh Prince in her arms and set him down on the eunuch's chair in the center of the flower hall, and Xue Yao immediately bowed and saluted.
The palace maid said to the Seventh Prince, "The Emperor has sent this guy to apologize to Your Highness."
Xue Yao's veins popped out at the corners of his forehead!
Does this court lady know how to speak? Make it seem like he won't apologize if the emperor doesn't let him, doesn't he want the tail of his ear!
But this was the Qingdao Hall, and he, an attendant reader, was not in a position to argue off the cuff, so he could only endure it.
The house was quiet.
Xue Yao's heartbeat accelerated, standing in front of the Seventh Prince with his head lowered, not knowing whether he should kowtow first or not, only secretly raising his eyes, looking at the Seventh Prince's complexion.
The Seventh Prince's chubby bun face did not have any expression, his small body sitting motionless on the taiji chair, slightly drooping his eyes, seemingly pondering on national matters.
One Second, Two Seconds, Three Seconds ......
The Seventh Prince's body leaned forward and nearly fell off the chair, but fortunately he was caught by the palace maid!
The courtesan hurriedly rubbed the Seventh Prince's fleshy little face and whispered, "Your Highness, don't go to sleep first, that bad guy has come to make amends to you!"
Xue Yao: "......"
It turned out that he came to this trip coincidentally, the little prince who was taking a lunch break woke up, which is still not fully awake, sitting on the chair are dozing.
He only thought of the fact that most of the ancients did not have the habit of taking a lunch break, but did not take into account the fact that the little prince was young.
It was too late to say goodbye now, the Dragon Ao Tian pup which had been pounded awake.
The Seventh Prince's little face was rubbed by the palace maid and became more and more spirited, his pair of teal eyes also brightened up and widened as he looked around, seemingly just realizing that he had woken up from his sleep, his sight eventually landing on Xue Yao in the center of the hall.
"This guy is ......" The palace maid was just about to introduce it again, when she saw the seventh prince's small mouth "biu" up!
His Highness has recognized it!
It's the big bad guy who dropped his little wooden horse!
Xue Yao immediately felt an aura of kingly dominance come over him, as if it were substance!
It seems that the fictional Dragon Pride weather field really does exist!
Actually scared him some stuttering, fortunately prepared in advance to say, bowing coaxed to: "I hope your highness do not put gas hurt body, I know that the sin is unforgivable, only to make up for a little bit, specially from the Jiangnan merchants where to buy a novelty, I do not know if it is to the liking of your highness."
With that, he pulled a small windmill out of his sleeve pocket and blew into it to make it fly and spin.
The Seventh Prince stared expressionlessly at the windmill in Xue Yao's hand, and suddenly raised his hand and patted the empty space beside him.
The palace maid immediately explained, "His Highness has ordered you to come forward to demonstrate the play."
Xue Yao's heart rejoiced, it looked like there was something in it.
As expected, the plot not covered in the novel, the characters are considered normal, this three-year-old toddler is the future of the mighty Dragon Ao Tian, but at the moment there is nothing too special, but also like ordinary children like small toys.
That's much better.
Xue Yao walked over to the Seventh Prince, but didn't dare to sit down beside him, only bending over and standing next to him, shaking the small windmill back and forth to make it turn.
The seventh prince raised his little fat hand, collected the little windmill, hung his head and played with it, very focused, but the chubby little face was still expressionless.
Xue Yao suspected that he hadn't woken up yet, so it really wasn't a good time to come.
The palace maid could see that His Highness liked the toy, so she passed out refreshments for Xue Yao to enjoy.
Xue Yao didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and as he lowered his head in secret, his afterglow noticed that the Seventh Prince had turned his head and seemed to be staring at his ears.
The desire for survival caused Xue Yao to immediately cover his ears and look back at the Dragon Ao Tian cub in panic, compensating with a smile, "Does Your Highness like this windmill?"
The seventh prince did not say anything, tea-colored beautiful eyes staring straight at him, suddenly opened his mouth, small mouth set into "ah" shape, did not move.
Xue Yao was dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the palace maid quickly stepped forward to relieve herself, bending over and coaxing, "Your Highness be good, that pastry is for the guests, you should drink milk later, you can't be greedy."
Xue Yao then realized that this little fatty wanted him to throw in the pastries.
The seventh prince who didn't eat the pastries was a bit despondent, and the little windmill didn't even want to play.
Xue Yao said tentatively from the side, "Last time, the boy in our academy got playful and wanted to have fun with you, Your Highness, but accidentally broke your little wooden horse ......"
He said this because he saw that the boy was young and wanted to change his memory by words.
First, he shifted the blame for the Trojan horse fall to someone else, and then he glorified "malicious teasing" as "having fun together".
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and actually opened his mouth to say such a paragraph, "How could our Seventh Prince ride such a shabby wooden horse? It's obvious that the subordinate is intentionally teasing and insulting, when I go to smash that thing, then invite the Seventh Prince to ride the real horse!"
While these words seemed comical coming from the mouth of a tender child, Xue Yao instantly broke out into a cold sweat!
This passage was exactly the original words spoken by the original owner, Xue Yao, when he picked a fight that day!
It was actually word for word!
All of Xue Yao's previous flukes went up in smoke at this moment!
This Dragon Ao Tian cub is basically a human-sized VCR, right?
No wonder it's so vindictive! The memory is unbelievable!
Done.
You can't keep your ears.
Tail can't be saved.
Little life is going to be lost!
The Seventh Prince's expression remained unchanged, his chubby little face slightly tilted up, a pair of teal-colored eye pupils staring straight at Xue Yao, seeing that he didn't respond, the Seventh Prince, as if he was intent on reminding him, repeated another sentence, "When I go to smash that thing, then I'll ask the Seventh Prince to go and ride a real horse."
Xue Yao, who had been patched up, was practically spitting blood, raising his eyes to the Seventh Prince with a smile that bordered on tears.
The Seventh Prince tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and ...... repeated again, "When I go to smash that thing, then I will invite the Seventh Prince to ride a real horse."
Xue Yao gave a knee and begged not to say anything!
I'm the one who's going to smash it! Just take the ears and the tail!
Stop playing the repeater filler! It's already dead!
The Seventh Prince was unhappy and felt that the man was insincere, so he picked the point and repeated it again, "Please, Seventh Prince, go ride a real horse."
"...... "With a slight turn of mind, Xue Yao finally understood this little fatty's hint and hurriedly stepped forward to ask in a small voice, "Your Highness wants to go horseback riding for fun?"
The Seventh Prince's teal colored beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and his small mouth tilted, raising a triumphant bad smile!
Xue Yao's heart thumped, accidentally actually falling into the trap of this Fat Milkman!
Hurriedly explained, "No no ...... Your Highness, I can not take you to ride a horse, according to the rules, you have to be eight years old before you can practice riding!"
The corners of the Seventh Prince's raised mouth fell BIU, and his gaze turned to Xue Yao's ears in displeasure.
The meaning is very clear, said that the fall of the small wooden horse will take the seventh prince to ride the real horse, and now the small wooden horse has fallen, if the breach of trust in the seventh prince ......
Xue Yao: "......"
Is that a threat?
Isn't this little fatty the future king of the ages? Why is he so dark at only three years old?
You're basically the villainous villain, right? Hey!
The author has something to say:
Xue Yao:Are you evil!
Being seen by his daughter-in-law to spread fufu side in the cub stage, Long Ao Tian is going to blacken!
