"It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion."
"Yes," Xiao Lezi said, as if he had received amnesty, he immediately turned around, opened the door, and crossed the threshold without stopping for a moment.
"etc!"
Xiao Lezi staggered without catching her feet, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she quickly grabbed the door and avoided close contact with the ground. She stabilized her body, turned around, and looked at the prince sadly.
: "What other instructions does Your Highness have?"
Seeing her embarrassment, the prince couldn't help but raise his lips: "It's nothing, just take good care of yourself. I will come to take you back when I ascend the throne."
In fact, Xiao Lezi really wants to say, when you really come to the throne, just let me leave the palace with the seventh prince. Anyway, the princes will leave the palace when they reach adulthood and establish a new life in the palace. Then my sister will be able to leave the palace and start her own new life.
Lived.
But when he saw the corners of the prince's mouth raised, Xiao Lezi swallowed back his words. It was not worthwhile to offend the prince now. It would be better to wait until he ascends the throne to act accordingly.
After making up his mind, Xiao Lezi immediately put on his signature smile, his eyes full of flattery: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."
"Well, go ahead."
This time Xiao Lezi walked very steadily, but the speed under her feet was not satisfactory at all. In just a moment, her figure disappeared into the night.
The prince looked down at his hands, and the warmth of her body still seemed to remain in his palms. He buried his face in his palms, smelled the faint fragrance, and cursed in a low voice: "What a heartless little thing."
After Qi Xiaoyu's injury was completely healed, it was time for him to continue studying at the Imperial College. After stopping classes for more than two months, he had already fallen behind a lot in his homework.
Xiao Lezi transformed from being a eunuch to a bookboy again, carrying a book and accompanying Xiao Yu to the Imperial Academy.
Compared to the bad prince, Xiao Yu is obviously much cuter. He always studies seriously and tries his best not to let the master punish Xiao Lezi.
Returning to Tianyi Hall that afternoon, Xiao Yu lay down in front of the desk to do her homework. After writing a few words, she put down her brush and looked at the rice paper in front of her in a daze.
Xiao Lezi flicked the wick, and the light made a crackling sound. The fire jumped a few times and suddenly became brighter. She put down the little spoon and saw Xiao Yu frowning in a daze, so she asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"
Xiao Yu looked at her, her little face wrinkled tighter: "Today, my father was thinking about my homework, and he asked me what my future ideal is. I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't answer it, so my father asked me to come back and think about it carefully.
I think I’ll give him the answer tomorrow.”
Xiao Lezi said: "Don't you have anything in particular that you want to do?"
Xiao Yu thought about it seriously: "Yes."
"What is it?"
Xiao Yu smiled brightly at her: "I want to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt."
Xiao Lezi felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek: "You are really good at coaxing people."
"I didn't coax you, I told you the truth!"
Seeing him tightening his little face and trying to look serious, Xiao Lezi smiled even more happily: "Yeah, I know, but you must not say that in front of His Majesty."
Seeing her smiling happily, Xiao Yu also felt happy: "Then what should I say?"
"You have to say that you want to protect the country and the country and prevent the people of the world from being harmed."
Xiao Lezi patiently enlightened: "The slaves live in this country, and they are also members of the common people. As long as you protect the country and the people, you also protect the slaves."
Xiao Yu nodded in understanding: "Oh..."
"Defending our country is a very hard job. You are still too young now. You will have to wait until you grow up and become stronger."
"How to become strong?"
"First of all, you have to start with yourself. As the old saying goes, if you don't clean one house, you can't sweep the world. The first thing you have to do now is to eat more, exercise more, grow taller quickly, and then practice martial arts. In the future
After becoming a general and commanding countless troops, who would dare to bully the people you want to protect again?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes slowly lit up: "General... I want to be a general, and I want to protect my family and my country!"
Xiao Lezi ruffled his hair and smiled softly: "Come on, I will always be with you."
Looking at Xiao Yu's flushed little face, Xiao Lezi prayed silently in his heart. For a prince who is destined not to be the emperor, stationing at the border with the title of general should be the best ending, right?
I hope her decision is right.
The next morning, Xiao Yu went to the Imperial Academy to attend classes as usual. In the afternoon, the emperor asked him to go to the study room to consider his homework. When the emperor asked about yesterday's questions, Xiao Yu did not hesitate this time and said firmly: "I want to become a great scholar."
General, I must protect our family and country, and protect the peace of the world!"
Upon hearing this, several other princes in the study looked at him with different expressions.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled kindly: "Being a general is very hard. Not only do you have to sleep in the wilderness, you also have to endure the wind and sun, and sometimes you even go hungry... Are you sure you are not afraid of these hardships?
?”
Xiao Yu obviously hesitated when he heard that he was going to be hungry, but when he recalled what Xiao Lezi said, he immediately regained his firm expression and replied crisply: "I am not afraid!"
If he is afraid, who will protect his little joy? So he cannot be afraid, he must be brave!
The emperor called him to him and slowly stroked his head: "Good boy, don't forget what you said today."
"Father, don't worry, I will never forget you!"
The next day, the emperor personally selected two outstanding cavalry and archery masters for Xiao Yu. From then on, Xiao Yu had two hours of cavalry and archery practice in the afternoon every day in addition to classes at the Imperial College.
At first, Xiao Yu couldn't get used to the hard work of riding and shooting classes, and her legs were often so tired that she could not even hold up chopsticks when she returned to Tianyi Hall.
His body was still too weak, so Xiao Lezi had to find ways to help him prepare food and supplement his nutrition. After getting up every morning, she had to drag Xiao Yu to do two sets of Tai Chi in the yard.
Xiao Yu was very curious about the slow movements in Tai Chi and was very interested in learning. After practicing for several months, his physique was obviously much stronger.
From then on, Xiao Yu developed the habit of doing two sets of Tai Chi every morning when she got up.
The end of the year has arrived in the blink of an eye. Just after the heavy snowfall, the first heavy snowfall of the year came.
Snowflakes fell in large numbers, turning the entire palace into a crystal palace. In the world covered in silver, only a vast expanse of white could be seen.
On the way to the Imperial Academy, Xiao Lezi held Xiao Yu's little hand tightly and whispered: "Don't stare at the snow all the time, you will get snow blindness."
Baby Xiao Yu is very curious: "What is snow blindness?"
"After looking at the snow for a long time, your eyes will be damaged by strong light and you will become blind, just like a blind man."
Xiao Yu immediately covered her eyes: "Then I won't watch. I don't want to become blind!"
Seeing his cute actions, Xiao Lezi was so cute that he couldn't help pinching his red face: "You are such a painful baby."
Xiao Yu quietly saw Xiao Lezi's smile through her fingers, and she also laughed, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"Ahem!"
Hearing the heavy coughing, Xiao Lezi turned around and followed the sound. He saw Prince He and Xiao Shen standing not far away. Judging from their appearance, he didn't know how long they had been standing there.
Under the prince's warning gaze, Xiao Lezi retracted his paws angrily, hunched his shoulders and curtsied.
Paralysis, why do you have the illusion of being caught in rape? This is unscientific!
Xiao Shen was still as crazy as ever, and regardless of whether Xiao Yu wanted to or not, he picked up Xiao Yu, pinched his face and rubbed it: "It feels so good, it seems that Xiao Lezi has raised you very well recently!
"
Xiao Yu was obviously not used to his excessive intimacy, so she struggled to escape from his clutches, turned around and hugged Xiao Lezi's waist, preventing Xiao Shen from getting closer to her.
Xiao Shen was not angry, but just touched his nose helplessly: "Am I so terrible?"
Xiao Yu puffed up her red face and murmured in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of you, I just don't like the scent of makeup on you, it's too pungent."
After a moment of silence, the prince and Xiao Lezi laughed sullenly.
Even though he was as shameless as Xiao Shen, he couldn't help being so childish. His handsome face turned red slightly and he snorted angrily: "You ignorant little thing, sooner or later, Fifth Brother will make you truly understand the wonders of women."
Place!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left in anger. Looking at it like that, he really felt a bit embarrassed.
When he took two steps, he found that the prince had not followed him. He turned and shouted at the prince who was still smiling sullenly: "Have you laughed enough? If you don't leave, you will be late!"
The prince then stepped forward, and when he passed by Xiao Yu, he reached out and patted Xiao Yu's head: "Let's go to class together, don't always have fun, you want to be a man who is a general, you can't spend all your time
Shrink in someone else's arms."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu reluctantly let go of her arms and followed the prince obediently, looking back at Xiao Lezi from time to time.
Xiao Lezi followed them with a book in hand, and the distance between them was only ten feet away. When she saw him looking back frequently, his eyes were like those of a lost puppy, and his wet eyes made her heart melt.
She winked at him and whispered to him: Don't worry, I will always watch you.
Today is a quiz to test the students' learning achievements in the past two months. All students must leave the examination room to prevent cheating.
After Xiao Lezi was kicked out of the examination room, he was a little curious about the scene of the princes during the examination, so he quietly lay down in the corner of the window and peeped at the situation in the examination room.
When she saw it, she was really surprised and dumbfounded.
Xiao Yun was the first to finish writing the test paper, and then, under the nose of the master, he "smuggled" the test paper to Xiao Lei in the back seat without changing his expression. Once he had the test answers, Xiao Lei immediately buried himself in writing and wrote quickly.
After finishing, Xiao Lei returned the test paper to Xiao Yun from under the table, and then turned slightly sideways so that Xiao Huai in the back seat could see the answers on his test paper...
Xiao Lezi couldn't imagine that Xiao Yun, who had always been gentle and elegant, could actually do this kind of fraud. The most important thing was that he could do it so naturally that he couldn't be seen to be nervous at all.
Judging from their proficiency in cooperation, this type of fraud must have happened many times.
Xiao Lezi turned his attention to Xiao Yu again. This child was indeed quite well-behaved. He kept lying on the table and trying his best to answer questions. He looked so serious and cute...Wait a minute! Why did he write something in his hand? It looked like test answers!
