"Your Highness, the matter of horseback riding is not urgent." Xue Yao understood that this topic could not be continued, and if this little fatso really got excited, he would not be able to take the young prince on a horseback ride without authorization.
If this develops, it will offend the seventh prince even more, so he rushed to change the topic, "The real horse rides up, and the wooden horse is no different, do you like flying gadgets in the sky? Recently happened to be the season of kite flying, I have the honor to be in the ......"
The Seventh Prince impatiently interrupted him, raised his hands to make a gesture of pulling the reins, and his small body began to turn up on the eunuch chair, his mouth also accompanying his own movements: ''Giddy up! Hei! Hei ...... Ma Ma Hei!"
Xue Yao's face turned white, he could already see the mood of this little guy who was impatient to ride the horse, knowing that it was not advisable to stay for long, he immediately took a step back and forcibly misinterpreted His Highness's meaning, "I understand, within three days, I will definitely fix Your Highness's wooden horse and return it as it is!"
"Well ...... well ......" The Seventh Prince stopped riding his horse and stretched out his little fat hand, trying to beckon Xue Yao back and explain what he meant.
His Highness wants to ride a real horse!
But the Seventh Prince was ultimately young, and although his memory was unbelievable, he was only good at repeating other people's words, and trying to express his own meaning didn't go down too well.
What's more, he was in a hurry to ride at the moment, and when he saw that this boy "misunderstood" his own meaning, he was even more anxious to say nothing.
Xue Yao where dare to wait for this dragon Ao Tian cub to say the order, in a hurry and panic, turned his head, toward the courtesan arched his hand and bowed: "Please aunt to point out the way, I will move the wooden horse to the repair, at most three days, will certainly be returned in the same condition!"
Hui service palace maid is the seventh prince's personal palace maid, bystanders respectfully called her "Yiqiu aunt".
Yiqiu at the moment face hung a cold smile, thinking that this child looks less than ten years old, the mind is sharp.
She was watching from the sidelines, and she knew all about Xue Yao's little thoughts.
Now that the Seventh Prince wanted to ride a horse, Yi Qiu was eager to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Xue Yao, who told the Third Prince's group of followers to eat bear heart and leopard's gall and dare to tease and humiliate her little master like this!
So, Yiqiu smiled without slowing down: "The wooden horse has fallen, you take it to repair, you have to glue, glued together, there will be cracks, how can there be the possibility of returning it as it is? I think you are deceiving our little master's young age, don't be so perfunctory!"
Xue Yao's heart thumped, bowed low and said, "Auntie don't worry, I've already discussed with my friends in the Inner Officials Supervision, not only will the wooden horse be glued and repaired, it will also be brushed with new paint, so that half a crack will definitely not be visible."
Yiqiu remained gloomy: "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there."
At this time, the Seventh Prince, who had been holding back for half a day, finally expressed his wish: "No small wooden horse, master wants to ride a big horse!"
Xue Yao was originally in an apprehensive mood, but was amused by the little fat boy's cry of "Master", a three year old doll calling himself "Master" is a bit of an anticlimactic and silly feeling.
Once Yi Qiu heard that His Highness was making things difficult for Xue Yao with this request, she immediately stood as a wall and stared at Xue Yao with a sneer.
Xue Yao can see that this palace maid intends to make things difficult for herself, lowered her head, her eyes slightly flowed, raised her head calmly and self-containedly arched her hand towards His Highness, "Your Highness would like to ride a real horse, the villain should be on the sidelines to watch over the horses, the horses can be borrowed from the Third Prince, they are all readily available, just waiting for aunt to arrange for Your Highness to spare some free time, the villain is always ready to wait."
Yiqiu was shocked at his words and did not hesitate to rebuke him: ''Daring! Your Highness is young, how can you ride a horse? If something happens, can you afford it?"
Xue Yao was not panicked and looked at the courtesan with a smile on his face, "I previously touched His Highness's wooden horse and could not absolve myself of the blame, but now that His Highness has given me the opportunity to make up for it, I will remove all the difficulties and put my life on the line to protect the driver, and as long as I can win His Highness's heart, the rules are not what you say they should be."
With a twist of his head, the Seventh Prince's expectant gaze shifted to Yi Qiu.
Yiqiu suddenly turned pale, not realizing that she, who was in her twenties, had actually been put on the spot by this eight year old!
If Xue Yao can't coax the Seventh Prince, he will be disqualified from serving as a reader, and anyway, promising the Seventh Prince a horseback ride is not likely to be realized, he is now a dead pig in a poke, he dumped the pot himself and pretended to say yes, and the pot naturally went to Yichu's head, so how else could she watch the good show?
Although Yiqiu was furious, she didn't roll her eyes.
She was serving the seventh prince grew up, heart than anyone knows, this little guy is not quite the same as other children, not only memory is amazing, but also ......
In short, she had to maintain a gentle and virtuous demeanor at all times in front of her little master, and she absolutely could not show her ugly demeanor.
Although she wanted to villainize the Third Prince's attendants, at the moment it was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, if Xue Yao took it a step further by promising the Seventh Prince that she would ride a horse and make the decision her own, then she would be the only one to end up being the villain.
She couldn't afford to eat this loss, her face changed, piled up a smile, bent down and picked up the seventh prince, smiling: ''What time is it? Is His Highness hungry? The slave girl will take the palace down to find a nurse, okay?"
Although the seventh prince is hungry, but wants to ride a horse, a lift of the little fat finger pointed at Xue Yao, meaning to give him a word, but his highness can not express it.
The real horse can never be ridden, not waiting for Xue Yao to speak, Yi Qiu took the initiative to round up for him, turned his head and ordered the little eunuch to take Xue Yao to take away the wooden horse, and then turned back to coax the Seventh Prince to say, "That fellow said that the wooden horse will definitely be repaired in three days, and Your Highness will be able to drive the horse in a few days!"
Xue Yao on the slope of the donkey, not waiting for the seventh prince to respond, turned around and followed the little eunuch slipped, stepped out of the flower hall threshold, heard behind the seventh prince milky voice an angry rebuke: "To the master to chase!"
Xue Yao scampered away!
This door-to-door apology trip was less than ideal.
Unexpectedly, what the Seventh Prince held a grudge against was not that the Trojan horse was damaged, but that Xue Yao had gone back on his word.
I think the Dragon Ao Tian cub looked at his wooden horse with broken ears and tail, and was very depressed in his heart, but only realized in retrospect that it must be more fun to ride a real horse, so he waited every day for Xue Yao, who made a promise, to come to his door and take him to ride a real horse.
Good memory, can't forget, and really want to ride a horse, this shit was missed by the Dragon Ao Tian cub for a few years, and eventually brewed into a deep hatred!
But what could Xue Yao do?
Not to mention that it was impossible for him to take a royal son who hadn't reached the required age to ride a horse, even if he could steal the young prince, Xue Yao's own body was only eight years old and had never ridden a horse at all, so how could he make sure that another three year old wouldn't fall off the horse and get hurt?
If the seventh prince accidentally fall out of a good or bad, not to mention the qualification of the readers lost, this Daqi is the king of the law of the nine clans waiting for him!
There was no other way but to return the little wooden horse back in its original condition and cancel the promise of a ride.
He had just left the Green Vault Hall when he saw Qing He waiting outside like a stone looking out for him.
The third prince's other followers are small eunuchs, have been removed by the emperor all, he and Qinghe's little life, still pinch in the hands of the seventh prince, although did not accompany Xue Yao into the temple, Qinghe or fire has been outside waiting for news.
Now that Xue Yao walked out holding the wooden horse on his own without letting anyone help him, it was obvious that he had not been beaten, so he went forward and said joyfully, "Is it still going well?"
Xue Yao frowned, pretending to be worried and shook his head, "It's not easy to say yet, the seventh prince was very angry and cried as soon as he saw me, it's a good thing that Princess Shih is not in the temple, no one can ask for punishment on behalf of the master, I persuaded and coaxed the seventh prince into agreeing to allow me to fix the wooden horse but with the condition that the wooden horse must be exactly the same as it was before it was broken, with no cracks to be seen."
Qinghe took a deep breath, attentively took the wooden horse from his hand, and warmly said, "It's hard for you, I knew that you would be able to do the job, if I were to go in and beg the Seventh Prince with this stupid mouth, I definitely wouldn't be able to get the wooden horse. It shouldn't be difficult to repair it, let's go to the Inner Government Supervisor and ask the best craftsman to repair it!"
Xue Yao didn't say much, only nodded.
I thought to myself, "Where is this best craftsman so easy to use? It must cost a fortune.
He had brought with him the five taels of silver he had gotten from the previous lottery, which he had already exchanged for one or two ingots of broken silver, intending to pay half of the repair costs each with Qinghe.
The price, if it is the market carpenter store, repair this kind of gadgets, at most charge a few dozen dollars.
It would have to be expensive to get a couple more coats of good paint, but a silver or two would do the trick.
But this is the palace's inner official supervisor, how much it will cost, Xue Yao has no idea in his heart, it depends on how big Qinghe's face is.
The two of them walked through half of the twelve monitors of the Great Nai and arrived at the Inner Officials' Prison, the eunuchs watching the door greeted Qing He as soon as they saw him, very friendly, Xue Yao only followed Qing He, wanting to blend in together.
Xue Yao wanted to personally supervise the work and watch the carpenter repair the wooden horse, otherwise in case of perfunctory work, the ears and tails stick crooked, and want to repair it in two, then it really can't be recovered.
But he didn't have Qinghe's people skills; after all, the original owner was an eight year old and didn't know much about Qinghe's friendships with the eunuchs.
Xue Yao is through the original master's memory guessed how Qing He is pulling the eunuchs together, it is very simple, is to help the eunuchs to the palace to get the reward to the outside to sell in exchange for money.
Although the eunuchs are relatively more free than the courtesans, but there are few opportunities to go out of the palace, and specializing in the eunuchs out of the palace most of the unclean hands and feet, selling five silver things, he himself will have to put two into the pocket, unlike the Qinghe this child honest, how much is how much is the exchange.
And Qinghe is the red man in front of the three emperors, put something in his arms, most likely no one will search his body, safer than a public eunuch.
Xue Yao felt that he could also enlist eunuchs in this way in the future, especially the future eunuch in charge of the Palace Supervisor, who should still be working as a sweeper in the Straight Palace Supervisor at this time, which was the golden period for pulling together.
Looking back, Qing He had already been let in by the gatekeeper eunuch, and Xue Yao hurriedly lifted his foot to cross the threshold as well.
Because this trip mainly borrowed the face of Qing He, Xue Yao has been a small follower, did not intend to participate in the negotiation, but did not expect to look quite clever Qing He, once he found a familiar craftsmen, opened his mouth and cried: "Uncle Liu! This time you can save me! My life is in your hands!"
Xue Yao instantly turned pale.
This idiot ......
Although he knew that Qinghe was trying to exaggerate so that Uncle Liu would do his best to recover the Trojan Horse, it was the end of the line when this was said!
If it were Xue Yao, he would have said, "This time we've run into a big deal, this Seventh Prince's wooden horse broke, His Majesty rewarded it, and now he's asked me to move it to you, so we have to hurry and make sure it's repaired properly."
In that case, the responsibility lies with Uncle Liu himself, who can't afford to eat himself if he repairs the emperor's reward.
And Qinghe cried and mourned like that because he wanted Uncle Liu to sell him a favor, but people are most concerned about their own gains and losses, so how could Uncle Liu care too much about his death or life?
Saying so would instead be taken by the other side.
As a result, Xue Yao is considered to be as good as God, the carpenter pretended to seriously measure and pounded for a while, patted the wooden horse and said: "This is to repair is simple, but you can not see the cracks, you have to keep up with the original paint, I look at the lacquer but the royal family special supply, the price is not cheap, the money, is it out of you or the master side of the money?"
Xue Yao hurriedly tried to interject, wanting to say that it was from his master, so as to avoid him asking for a price.
However, the anxious Qinghe was still one step ahead of him and shouted first, "How can I expect the master to come out! I can only cut my own flesh!"
Xue Yao: "......"
The carpenter helpfully complained a few times with his mouth, but his face showed a pleasant look, so he could ask for whatever he wanted.
