The little princess is not someone who doesn't listen to advice. Although she is deeply loved by her father, the queen and her mother, she can do whatever she wants in the capital. In fact, this is what many people see on the surface.
But in reality, the little princess is a very measured person. She knows very well how to do bad things within the tolerance of adults, so as to achieve the effect of "being scolded but not punished".
Hua Luan is far more sensitive on the inside than the carefree person she looks like on the outside. Her character of being pampered yet cautious actually comes from her extraordinary ability to see into people's hearts.
In the eyes of the little princess, there is always a strange and unexplainable inconsistency in the love from her father, like an ink drop dropped in the water that cannot be dispersed. Although the water is still clear before the ink drop faints, in the end,
It's a hint of threat.
So after hearing Caiyun's advice, the little princess, who had always acted without scruples, felt a little hesitant.
Her father was a very "enlightened" emperor, to the extent that even after the little princess blatantly expressed her thoughts about the supreme position, the other party could still smile and touch her head to encourage her.
But this does not mean that the emperor will let go of all the actions of the little princess. The imperial power is easily abandoned. It is simply because the emperor does not take the supreme position to heart at all. Therefore, no matter how Hua Luan transgresses, the other party will just laugh it off.
There are indeed not many things in this world that can be valued by the emperor. The one in the cold palace may be one of them, because the more forbidden things are, the more curious they are.
So much so that when the little princess was young, she had always been very curious about the Cold Palace, which was forbidden to outsiders. It was different from the Zixiao Palace, which was nominally forbidden, but was actually the little princess's playground.
There was no ban on outsiders entering the Cold Palace, but no matter how hard the little princess tried, she just couldn't get in. Every time she was about to succeed, there was always a little eunuch with a smile on his face who stopped her.
The little princess joked about this matter to the eunuch in charge of the palace.
"Is there any place in the imperial city that I cannot go to?" the little princess asked, glaring at Cao Shun.
Eunuch Cao responded with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has never issued such a decree. Your Highness can go anywhere in the imperial city. I will definitely train those ignorant servants well."
As a result, when the little princess went to the entrance of the Cold Palace again, she never saw the little eunuch again, but she still couldn't enter the Cold Palace. In fact, every time Hua Luan went there, the eunuchs who blocked her way were different.
Later, Caiyun privately inquired and learned that since that day when she "complained" to the Chief Manager Cao Shun, every time the princess left the cold palace, a eunuch in the expert factory would suddenly die suddenly.
After the little princess learned about this, she seemed to suddenly understand something. From then on, she never tried to explore the secrets of the cold palace.
The Cold Palace is a restricted area that the little princess cannot touch, and it is also a place controlled by the vague and unfamiliar part of the father who is stripped of the two roles of father and emperor.
Although she wanted to explore the secret deep down in her heart, the suffocating feeling as if she was in a void every time she looked into the eyes that couldn't bear to smile kept the little princess away.
The little princess has a good father who can tolerate all her willfulness and nonsense. At the same time, she also has a strange father. The man who sometimes looks at her like a stranger seems to be just wearing the coat of "father"
, but inside it is something completely different.
The little princess is a good child because she knows not to touch her father's restricted area. At the same time, the little princess is also a bad child because the more she endures, the more she wants to know the secrets behind the palace wall.
So when Caiyun's expression gradually became anxious, the little princess said to her: "I know, since this is the case, it's better that I don't understand."
Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is wise."
"But I still have to tell the teacher about this, after all, he asked me to do that." The little princess said again.
Caiyun did not express any objection to this. After all, as long as the princess does not try to explore the secrets about His Majesty, there will be no problem. As for Qi Yunzhou, the dean of Meihua Academy is a smart man and will not seek death.
So, the next day, the little princess went to the academy, and while Qi Yunzhou was teaching, she handed the imperial edict directly to him. Yes, this imperial edict was secretly taken out of the Meng family by her audacity.
Anyway, the Meng family usually kept imperial edicts in a hidden place and would not read them. As long as Qi Yunzhou put them back after using them, they would be safe.
After seeing the imperial edict, Qi Yunzhou's expression did not change much regarding the content, as if he had expected it early on. On the contrary, he only looked at the little princess a little longer because of the behavior of a gentleman like the little princess.
Speechless.
Qi Yunzhou put the things away: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. However, since I have taken out all the things, please allow me to borrow them for a few days. I will also trouble Your Highness to return them to Zhao afterward."
The little princess nodded slightly: "Since you have promised the teacher, it is natural that you should have a beginning and an end."
This topic came to an end, and the little princess continued: "Teacher, you and your father are from the same school, so you must know him very well, right?"
Qi Yunzhou glanced at the little princess strangely, and then said: "Although we are from the same sect, I have very little relationship with His Majesty, and I can't even say that we know each other well... Besides, His Highness has great favor, so he should not have such worries."
.”
Qi Yunzhou thought that the little princess wanted to please the emperor so that she could do things better. He felt that this was unnecessary. The emperor's favor towards Princess Hua Luan had already reached its extreme, and there was no need to continue to exert effort in this regard.
"That's not what I meant," the little princess waved her hands, then leaned on the table with her chin on her back, and said quietly: "I just suddenly felt that I don't know my father very well, so I wanted to ask the teacher."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the unhappy princess, Qi Yunzhou secretly sighed that the other party was really a delicate child, and at such an age, he could see something wrong with His Majesty.
"...I would like to ask His Highness a question."
Qi Yunzhou said after silence: "If one day His Highness's carriage is frightened on the road and starts running wildly on the street, there are two roads to choose from. One road has five people who can't react, and the other road has only one person who can't react.
People, how will Your Highness choose?"
The little princess was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Teacher, why would you ask such a strange question? It sounds like my father's style."
Qi Yunzhou smiled and said: "Your Highness is smart. This is exactly the question that Your Majesty once asked me."
The little princess frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "If you have to choose between five lives and one life, then I will choose to save those five people."
"Your Highness is kind," Qi Yunzhou nodded, and then said: "In this case, we might as well change the premise. Suppose that His Highness is not in the carriage, but on a high building beside the street. At this moment, there are still five people below who are unable to react.
He was hit by a carriage, but there happened to be a tall and fat warrior beside His Highness. If he were pushed down the street, he could stop the carriage from moving forward."
The little princess frowned even deeper: "In that case, will the person who is pushed down by me die?"
"Of course I will." Qi Yunzhou said.
The little princess shook her head and said: "How can this happen? If I push this person down, wouldn't it be intentional to kill people?"
Qi Yunzhou smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the difference? His Highness just chose to kill one person instead of five people. Now he chooses to kill one person and save five people. The result is the same."
"This...how can this be considered the same?"
The little princess thought for a long time, but still had no results. Finally, she looked at Qi Yunzhou and asked: "This is a question raised by my father, so he must know the correct answer, right?"
"Of course there is an answer, and it is correct to be correct. After all, it is the result given by His Majesty."
Qi Yunzhou chuckled: "Your Majesty's answer is 'You can use martial arts to force the carriage to stop'."
The little princess was stunned, and then her face turned red: "What is this! This is obviously a scam! The teacher didn't say that you can use martial arts at the beginning!"
Qi Yunzhou calmly reassured: "Because His Majesty is the one who asked the question, he can have any answer he wants, and His Highness can only obey, so it is natural that he cannot answer this kind of question. There is no need for Your Highness to be angry."
