Xiao Yu nodded seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Nine Emperors, for reminding me. I'll remember it. Don't worry, I've suffered a lot in the palace before, and I almost lost my life a few times. I won't be afraid."
"
Hearing his words, Xiao Shuiyuan frowned slightly and wanted to ask him about the details of how many times he almost died, but he changed the topic to other things, and in the end he was unable to find out the reason.
Xiao Shuiyuan secretly kept this incident in mind and planned to find a time to send someone to investigate the ins and outs.
Let's not talk about Xiao Shuiyuan's private actions. Xiao Yu was thinking about going out with the army. After returning to Tianyi Palace, he had been worried. It was not that he was afraid of fighting, but he was worried about what would happen to the people in Tianyi Palace after he left.
What should he do, especially Xiaolezi? He really doesn't trust her.
I don’t know if I can bring one or two servants with me when I go on an expedition with the army?
The last time he saw Xiao Yun accompanying the army, he seemed to have brought two young eunuchs with him to serve him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu ignored Xiao Lezi who was still quarreling with him, rushed into the backyard hall, and directly blocked Xiao Lezi's path: "I want to talk to you about something."
Xiao Lezi put down the clothes he had just taken from the Clothing Bureau and bowed in salute: "What are the orders from the Seventh Prince?"
"I...I may be going on an expedition with Uncle Nine Emperors soon. Do you want to go with me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lezi was immediately stunned. She looked at him in surprise: "Are you going to go on an expedition? When was this decided? Why have you never heard of it?"
"Ahem, Uncle Nine Emperors just told me this. I haven't asked Father for instructions yet." Seeing that she still cared about him, Xiao Yu couldn't help but grinned again, "Don't be angry, before.
I was stupid and said the wrong thing in a moment of anger. I apologize to you and I will never make you angry again."
Xiao Lezi, who originally planned to let him go for a few days, could no longer keep a cold war with him at this time. If he was about to go on an expedition, she didn't know when he would be able to come back. On the battlefield, there was no word between swords and guns, and life or death was uncertain. She
I don’t want his son to worry about me before leaving.
Xiao Lezi sighed: "Forget it, going out with the army is a big deal. You'd better ask His Majesty for permission as soon as possible. If His Majesty approves it, my servant will have to help you pack your luggage when you come back. There will be a lot of trivial matters.
It will take a lot of time.”
Seeing that she was no longer angry, Xiao Yu immediately became happy and agreed immediately: "Well, I will go ask my father for instructions tomorrow!"
He paused and then asked: "You haven't answered me yet, are you willing to join the army with me?"
It must be very hard to go on an expedition with the army, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. If you don't do it right, your life may be in danger. However, as a saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Think about it, if you go on an expedition,
It will inevitably take a long time to leave the palace. Once you break away from the big prison of the palace, you will be much freer on the road.
If she finds an opportunity and sneaks away from the marching team, she will be completely free!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lezi couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, but he looked very embarrassed on his face: "Following the army is not a trivial matter. Can I really follow you? Will this break the rules?"
Regarding this point, Xiao Yu is not very sure: "I saw that when the eldest and second emperor brothers went on an expedition, they all brought their attendants with them. I believe I should be able to take a few people with me. If I am really not sure,
I'll go ask Father for instructions later and see what he says."
Xiao Lezi nodded: "Well, that's good. If your Majesty can agree, I will go with you."
That night, the cabbage girl miraculously discovered that Xiao Yu and Xiao Lezi suddenly reconciled again. Regarding the previous cold war, both of them seemed to have lost their memory and didn't mention a word. They were really a pair of magical guys.
But that's okay, everyone just needs to be nice and friendly, otherwise her piece of bacon will be stuck in the steamed bun, which will be very uncomfortable.
The next day, Xiao Yu left school from the Imperial Academy and went straight to the imperial study to ask the emperor for instructions on going out with the army.
In fact, regarding the matter of accompanying the army, when he went to court this morning, Xiao Shuiyuan sneaked into the imperial study and told the emperor everything like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. He was half scoundrel and half pleading to get the emperor to agree to this.
thing.
So even if Xiao Yu didn't come to ask for instructions, the matter had already been settled, but everyone was here anyway, and the emperor was quite bored sometimes, so he wanted to tease this precious son, pretending to be serious: "You are only ten
At the age of three, it is really inappropriate to go to the battlefield at such a young age."
Xiao Yu was anxious: "It's not thirteen years old, it's thirteen and a half years old!"
When the emperor, who had just lost his face, heard this, he immediately became happy and couldn't help bursting into laughter. Ouch, this kid is so funny!
Seeing the emperor smiling happily, Xiao Yu's face flushed red: "My son really wants to contribute to the court. I will protect my family and country immediately. I ask my father to do it for me!"
"It's not fun to go into battle and kill the enemy. If you don't do it right, you will lose your life. Look at your small body now, can you endure the hardships at the border?"
Xiao Yu said seriously: "My son is self-aware and may not be able to make meritorious deeds by joining the army this time, but he really wants to take this opportunity to hone himself, and he also wants to share his father's worries."
Hearing the last sentence, the emperor moved slightly, and the joking look on his face also faded away a lot, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes: "You are a good boy. Since you insist on going, then go ahead. This will happen in the future."
The great country belongs to young people like you."
Xiao Yu was overjoyed and immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Father!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Go back and pack your luggage while there is still time. If you need anything, send someone to tell the chamberlain. Marching and fighting is not as good as being in the palace. Everything about food and clothing is very simple. You have to make everything.
preparation."
"Yes, I have remembered it," Xiao Yu paused and asked tentatively, "I am going to the border. I wonder if I can bring one or two personal servants with me?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Who do you want to take with you?"
The person who can make Xiao Yu specifically ask must be a confidant he trusts extremely much. The emperor is very curious about who his confidant is. He will have to have someone check this confidant's background and personality. Don't let him.
My precious son was brought up crookedly...
While the emperor was thinking, Xiao Yu said: "My son wants to take Xiao Lezi with him."
As soon as he heard these three words, the emperor was immediately stunned. Although he was no longer young, his memory was very good, and he could almost be said to have a photographic memory. So when Xiao Yu mentioned this name, the emperor immediately remembered it.
That fair and delicate little face frowned slightly: "Why should you take him there?"
"Since you sent me to live in Tianyi Palace, Xiao Lezi has been taking care of my food, clothing, and daily life. He has taken good care of me, and I am used to him. Now I am going to the border.
Suddenly someone else was waiting beside me, and I was a bit uncomfortable with it, so I wanted to take her to the border with me."
As the only person in the entire palace who knew the identity of Xiao Lezi except Eunuch Zhao, the emperor felt a little bit pained at the moment. He was the one who forced Xiao Lezi from the East Palace to the Tianyi Palace, and now he saw that Lao Qi cared so much about her.
Girl, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After all, there are differences between men and women. Lao Qi is young and ignorant now. What if he really has some thoughts about Xiao Lezi? How should he deal with it in the end?
The emperor didn't want to put too much thought into a slave. His ideas were very straightforward. He only had two ideas...either to kill a hundred of them, or to let her revert to the form of a daughter and marry her to the seventh child.
It would be easy to kill him directly, but in this way, it would inevitably hurt Lao Qi's heart. If it was not done well, it would also create a gap between him and Lao Qi. He didn't want to be separated from his own baby just because of a slave.
It would be too much of a loss if the son had a quarrel.
But if she were to regain her daughter's body, the emperor would have to find a way to deal with her identity, which would be a bit troublesome. He thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Yu with a very serious look: "Father, I want to tell you the truth.
Tell the truth."
"Father, please speak."
"You seem to care a lot about that little fun?" When the emperor asked this question, he was obviously extremely embarrassed, but he still had to tighten his face and maintain the image of a strict father, pretending to be very hard.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu froze, lowered his head with guilt, opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, but finally could not say anything. Perhaps because of the nature of father and son, he was not good at lying in front of his father, and his tongue felt bitter.
Seeing his tangled and miserable appearance, the emperor thought to himself, it's over, no need to ask, this kid must have fallen in!
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. The ancients have never deceived me!
The emperor's mood was very complicated: "Let me think about this matter again. I will think it through later and give you an answer."
Xiao Yu was anxious, but his reason told him that there was no need to rush the matter, so he could only nod patiently and said, "I understand."
After Xiao Yu left, the emperor sat on a chair, frowning and thinking for a moment, and suddenly called Eunuch Hua in, pointed at him and ordered: "Go and call Xiao Lezi from Tianyi Palace, don't disturb Lao Qi and the others.
, I have something to ask him."
"twitter."
When Eunuch Hua found Xiao Lezi, she was helping Xiao Yu pack her luggage for the trip. When she learned that the emperor had invited her, she immediately put down her work and followed Eunuch Hua out of Tianyi Palace and into the Royal Study.
To be honest, Xiao Lezi was a little scared of this emperor. Every time he saw him, nothing good would happen.
No, as soon as he saw him, Xiao Lezi was asked about Xiao Yu. He asked tactfully: "You have stayed in Tianyi Palace for several years and have taken good care of Lao Qi. I will wait for you in the future."
When he grows up, do you want to continue to follow him?"
How level is this question? If she answers no, the emperor will feel that she does not like his son, and he will be unhappy; but if she answers yes, the emperor will feel that she has ulterior motives, and he will doubt her.
Anyway, no matter what she says, she has to be prepared to be exploited. Emperor, you are here to trick your sister on purpose, right?!
Xiao Lezi wished he could lower his head to his shoes and answered speciously: "It is a slave's blessing to be able to serve the Seventh Prince."
The emperor snorted: "You girl has always been slippery, but Lao Qi is an honest and well-behaved child. He can't resist your sweet words and regards you as much more important than an ordinary slave." (To be continued)
