Chapter 56 - The Emperor's Heart
That night, Ayamo had been writing in the book pavilion until midnight, only to finish the homework set by the night red aya.
Under the bright light, the right hand of the teenager who had worked hard all afternoon plus half the night had completely swollen into a steamed bun.
And Han Qingbai also understood the meaning of the words that Night Red Aya said when she was leaving -
Royal Shadow Guard, Ayamu.
The words that the young man copied on the rice paper, in addition to copying the first ten sentences of the "Three Character Classic" twenty times, were his identity and name.
The princess apparently does not intend to let bystanders know his identity - the reason why she is not defensive about Han Qingbai is because Han Qingbai is now a member of the princess's household.
Although the night red aya is not a good person to get along with, but for the people she recognized as her own, the basic trust is still willing to give - of course, if anyone wants to betray this trust, then the end will definitely not be too good is.
But Han Qingbai looked at the hands of the teenager could not bear to see, the corners of the mouth could not help but gently twitch, although still do not know how the strength of the teenager, but have to admit that the teenager this pain tolerance is really strong.
Ayamu naturally does not know the thoughts of Han Qingbai's heart, and is not interested in knowing. He remembered the words of the night red aya, afraid of delaying the master bedtime, after copying the homework is organized, immediately took to the red aya court bedroom, respectfully presented to the night red aya check.
Night red aya after bathing changed into a white bedclothes, is leaning against the bed to read a book, stunning eyebrows in the light of the lamp, more calm, less some of the day's bitter cold.
The young man came in and knelt down directly on the blanket in front of the bed and handed over the word post with both hands.
So night red aya inevitably saw the teenager's swollen and miserable hands.
Eyes untraceable slight pause, night red aya sight slightly shifted, silently took his hours spent copying things, turned over, long slender fingers randomly point a word, "this reads what?"
Ayame raised his eyes to look, his tone respectful: "Gui."
Night Red Aya ordered another one.
Ayamo replied, "Loom."
Night red aya hmm, one by one after checking, handwriting is still not good-looking, green and tender, no different from the first school children, except for the force of a little more, the pen is heavier, the other really no different.
But still very neat, I can see that the heart to write, and not because of the time so late and impatient, very calmly completed the few words of the copy.
Night red aya can not say how satisfied, but also did not harshly reproach him.
Ayame was naturally relieved.
His hands can no longer withstand more chastisement. Of course, if the master really want to punish, he can only accept.
But he vaguely understood that the reason for the relief was perhaps not whether he would be punished, when he was trained to fight with people in the Temple of the Hidden Gods in the past, how many times his life was hanging by a thread, how many times he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and even the harsh punishment of the Temple of the Hidden Gods was endured more than once, but he had never been so nervous.
Both hands took the word post, Ayamu heard the master's faint voice rang out: "yourself to medication, if there is no way to take a bath, red damask court order a boy to help. Then go to the kitchen to find something to eat ... evening medicine to drink yet?"
Ayame replied respectfully: "Drank."
Night red damask hmmm: "Do not eat raw and cold food again, there are cooked food in the kitchen, the stomach can not stand the heat for the time being, you can wait until it cools a bit before eating."
"Yes." Ayamo seriously answered, respectfully and carefully took these words into his heart one by one.
Then he couldn't help but think, master is really a very gentle and tender person.
...
The weather in May is getting hot and it is already summer.
The princess's residence, which had been silent for seven days, was suddenly ushered into a bustle.
The emperor decreed that on the sixth day of May in the imperial garden of the palace to hold a flower viewing party, to give the princess protector of the country to choose a few side monarchs and service monarchs -
This news came out, simply stunned the courtiers and subjects of the imperial capital.
The news that Princess Guoguo has taken the Han family's concubine son as her sidekick is undoubtedly more eye-opening than the Emperor's decision.
Since ancient times no woman can openly take several sons-in-law, even the golden princess is the same.
The horse in harness needs to be respectful to the princess because she is a royal bloodline, but three wives and four concubines have never belonged to the rights of men only. Even if a woman's status is honored, she has to abide by the rule that "a good woman does not serve two husbands.
Although the Protectorate Princess Night Red Aya is an exception.
In addition to her noble status, she also has a strong strength that does not lose to men, as well as no matter what they do, no one dares to comment on the cold, hard and ruthless temper.
So when she took the Han family's concubine son as a sidekick, in addition to understanding her heartache of betrayal by her beloved, no one dared to interfere with the fear is also a reason.
But her own sidekick, and the emperor's decree to choose a sidekick for her and the king, is a completely different concept.
As the law often says "the son of the emperor commits a crime, the same crime as the common people", but the son of the emperor to kill is clearly a normal thing, those princes and noblemen in the mansion every now and then die a maid is not a common thing?
Who was held responsible?
But knowing is one thing, but the emperor can never explicitly decree that the prince can kill as he pleases.
No emperor has ever said that a princess can have more than one husband.
This is simply, simply...
In the Princess protector's residence, the night red aya received this news reaction is very calm, lightly said a "know", and sent the palace chamberlain back.
"The selection of the sidekick and the service king?" Han Qingbai's eyebrows slightly knitted, under the eyes of a few deep thoughts, "What does the emperor mean?"
Night red aya looks like very short of bed warmers?
Night red aya tone is light: "the emperor's mind is just, no need to bother too much."
The moment this statement was made, Han Qingbai immediately understood.
The emperor is trying to use the excuse of choosing a sidekick to serve the king to place eyes in the Princess protector's residence?
But, why?
"Your Majesty doesn't trust you?"
Trust?
Night red aya eyes indifferent: "the emperor's family, trust such a thing existed?"
Han Qingbai was silent.
Night red aya holding a hot tea, leaning in front of the window on the brocade couch, carelessly gazing at the scenery outside the window, eyebrows cold color lingering.
The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
After all, in the previous life, before dying, the ear heard the sentence of the holy decree, although she has ** clear is true, but still want to confirm whether there is a point of possibility is the next person fake holy decree.
But it turns out that even if she is a woman, even if the emperor how trustworthy and valued, the bones still have scruples.
When the scruples become stronger and stronger, does it naturally lead to killing intent?
"What does Your Majesty intend to do?" The actual people in the house?"
Night red aya slightly silent, stunning eyebrows indifferent as snow, voice calm, do not distinguish between joy and anger: "This palace house has been quiet for too long, there is nothing wrong with a little lively."
A little lively?
Han Qingbai was silent for a moment, slowly nodded his head to show his understanding.
