"Yu Lao Wen, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please pay attention to your safety. ”

In the Xianyang palace complex that stretches for thousands of miles and covers the sky, a lively and cheerful voice is like an elf jumping in the forest, injecting long-lost vitality into this palace that is as silent as if it is dead.

"It's okay, I want to show my mother quickly, so hurry up!" the girl who was running in front turned around and said happily to the second elder Yuwen behind her.

She was only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a brightly colored one-piece dress, her long straight waist hair was simply tied in a bunch, and her pink little face like a cherry blossom was dotted with a cute smile.

It is no exaggeration to say that when she grows up, she will definitely become a beauty who captivates the country and the city.

And she is also the first queen in the history of the huge Great Qin Empire, Ying Ying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful, watch your step. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Yu Lao Wen, you guys hurry up - poof!"

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Ying Ying fall to the ground because she stepped on her skirt, including the second elder Yuwen, the attendants who followed around instantly changed their faces, and then surrounded them in a hurry, and the imperial doctor who accompanied her had even taken out the first-aid medicine she was carrying.

"Hmm, ......"

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

She squatted on the ground, covering her sore forehead with both hands, and Wen Lao on the side knelt next to her and asked worriedly.

"Skirt ......"

"Skirt?"

"Skirt," she said, grabbing a corner of her long skirt with her hand, and said with tears in her voice, "the skirt is torn......"

As she spoke, she stretched out the corner of the cloak she was holding in her hand to the two of them, and a visible hole could indeed be seen in it.

"Oh, it's really, but don't worry about Your Majesty, it can be repaired immediately, but Your Majesty, you're not injured, right?" Carefully taking the corner of the skirt in her hand, Wen Lao gently comforted her and said.

"Embroidered girl. ”

"Yes!"

With Yu Lao's order, the two embroidery girls standing on the side immediately trotted to her with two boxes full of materials, and then took the torn skirt corners from Wen Lao's hand and repaired them.

"Your Majesty, are you hurt somewhere?" the Imperial Doctor, who had come with her, knelt on her right side and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, but the skirt ......" Looking at the embroidery girl who was busy working there, Ying Ying still said with some worry.

"It can be mended, and it is exactly the same as the new one, Your Majesty, because this dress was originally made by me for Your Majesty. One of the embroidery girls looked at her little face with pear blossoms and rain, and subconsciously comforted her.

"But ......"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Wen Lao also comforted, "The embroidered girls in the palace are the best in the country, so they must be able to repair exactly the same as the original." ”

“…… Really?"

"Of course it's true, could it be that Your Majesty can't trust the old minister......"

"That's it!"

Just when Wen Lao was thinking about how to comfort her next, the embroidery girl on the side had already finished her work.

"Your Majesty, you see, it's exactly the same as it was at the beginning. ”

"Hmm!" Ying Ying looked at the mended skirt in surprise, and happily turned around there, the butterfly-like fluttering skirt and the lovely smile formed an unforgettable beauty.

"Thank you, Sister Embroidery. After speaking, she bowed her head slightly to the embroidery girl very politely, all to express her gratitude.

however

"This is your majesty!" "Elder Wen, who was originally amiable, suddenly raised her head with his hand in panic and said very seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't do this kind of thing!"

After speaking, Yu Lao glared at the embroidered girl fiercely, and the other party was suddenly frightened to the point of bloodlessness, and the whole person knelt on the ground, his head slammed deep on the ground, as if he wanted to bury himself in the soil.

However, the book says that it is polite to express one's gratitude to those who have helped them. ”

“……”

"Also, the book says that people are equal to each other, and that, one should not look down on others because of their rights and wealth. ”

“…… Your Majesty, don't you know which book in the palace has such a big disrespectful thing, please let the minister be disrespectful, may I ask in which book you saw these things?"

"Yes, yes...... It's in ......"

"Could it be that Chu Qing of China gave it to you?"

"No, it's not!"

"It turned out to be him. ”

Wen Lao shook his head helplessly, since the other party learned Ying Ying's true identity, after every meeting, the other party would intentionally or unintentionally give Ying Ying something similar to toys and snacks, and the book she said probably came from like this.

"Your Majesty, please forget everything you read from those books, and then give them to your ministers. ”

"Why?" she asked strangely, looking at the solemn Wen Lao.

"Because everything on it is wrong. ”

"Wrong?"

"That's right," Elder Wen bowed his head deeply and said in a deep voice, "As one of Your Majesty's thousands of subjects, everything you have done for you is a matter of course, it is your right, and everything we have is yours, so you should not be grateful for the rights you deserve." ”

"Yes, is that so?"

"That's right," the people around nodded in unison, "Even if it's a compliment, it can't be said to be a thanks, but it should be said to be a reward.

“…… I know. ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, let's stop talking about this, isn't the Queen Mother still waiting for you? ”

"Hmmm......"

She nodded, glanced at the embroidered girl who was kneeling on the ground, and then walked in the direction of the Queen Mother, her mother's dormitory, and the attendants around her followed suit.

"And you. ”

"Yes!"

"Go back and pack your things and get out. ”

Yu Lao, who was walking at the end, stopped and said to the embroidered girl in a voice that only the two of them heard, and the embroidered girl's body trembled even more.

"Originally, everyone including you should have been erased directly, but this time...... In short, let you go for the time being this time, get me out of the palace immediately, and this time I must not make a public announcement, otherwise it will ......"

"Yes, the slave understands, the slave understands. Without waiting for him to finish, he agreed like garlic.

". ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the embroidered girl who disappeared from his eyes, Yu Lao sighed softly, and then followed everyone towards the queen mother's bedroom.

"Mom!"

On the other side, Ying Ying, who came to the Queen Mother's bedroom, jumped into the palace with vitality like a vicious cat pounced, and shouted happily at the curtain that kept palace maids coming in and out.

"Who is coming?" Compared with the excited Ying Ying, after a layer of tulle in the dormitory, on the bed of the Queen Mother, an emotionless voice asked lightly to the attendants serving on both sides.

"Yes......"

"It's Ying Ying!" Without waiting for the attendant to reply, Ying Ying couldn't wait to say first.

"Mommy, look, my new dress ......"

"Why?"

"Huh?"

"I say why," said the other man, ignoring her words, with a slight annoyance, "who made you come like this?" ”

"This ......"

"Didn't I say that you weren't allowed to appear like this outside of your own dormitory? and, Yingying, do you still know your own identity?"

"Ying Ying, Ying Ying is the emperor of Qin. Ying Ying said with a little flinching.

"It seems that you haven't forgotten," Yingying's mother said coldly, "Don't forget, you are the king of a country, an example for all the people in the world, and your every move is a model for everyone, but look at you, what kind of system you have become now." ”

"Yes......"

"Do you know what to do?"

"Know, know ......"

Ying Ying's body trembled, and she slowly knelt on the ground, her little head hanging low to the ground.

The palace maid on the side wanted to take out the futon, but was glared back by Yu Lao, who had just arrived and was kneeling outside the palace and waiting.

"Hands. ”

Under her mother's order, Ying Ying reluctantly stretched out her left hand.

And with the other party's gesture, a palace maid standing behind the curtain walked to Yingying from behind the curtain with a wooden ruler half a little arm length and a delicate pattern carving, put her left hand on her palm, and put the wooden ruler in her hand on her palm.

Syllable!

"Whew!"

With a crisp sound, the hard wooden ruler hit the immature little hand mercilessly, and Yingying's eyes, who gritted her teeth, were also covered with a layer of mist.

This time, is it also twenty strokes......

I should have stopped Your Majesty if I had known......

The second elder Yuwen, who was kneeling outside and waiting, couldn't help frowning and sighing softly when he heard the crisp sound and Yingying's small whimper coming from inside.

Syllable!

"I have warned you several times, for a king, the first thing is to be able to distinguish right from wrong, and the second is to know etiquette, only in this way can he set an example for the magistrate of the three princes and Jiuqing County under his command......"

Syllable!

"Moreover, you yourself belong to the female stream, and your job should be a husband and a child, and this time there is a reason for the fact that you got into this position, but there are still countless people who have opinions about it, so you should be more careful......"

Ying Ying's mother said slowly, and the palace maid holding the ring ruler matched her speaking speed, slapping Ying Ying's palm.

"Queen Mother. ”

"Are you done fighting? Well, come back. She looked at the palace maid who stopped her movements and stood with her head bowed in both hands, and said.

"Woo......"

Ying Ying retracted her little hand and looked at her palm carefully, the originally pink little hand had become red at this time, and there were even blue and purple scars in some places.

"Okay, did you come to me for something?"

Ying Ying glanced at the skirt on her body, lowered her head again, and sobbed, "...... No, Ying Ying just wants to ...... with her mother The queen mother said well. ”

"Yes, it's rare that you have this heart. The other party didn't hear the hesitation in her tone at all, and nodded to himself.

"Okay, you can leave when it's okay, I want to rest. ”

"Then, I'll quit first. ”

Saying that, Ying Ying knelt on the ground, bowed to her mother behind the curtain, and then turned around and walked outside the palace.

"Wait a minute. ”

At this moment, she suddenly stopped Ying Ying behind her, and Ying Ying's heart throbbed.

She grabbed the corner of her skirt with her hand, turned around slowly, and asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, is there anything else?"

"Nothing, just a reminder to get ready to go to Mongros, where the puppets aren't a long-term solution after all. ”

The hand that grabbed the corner of the skirt slowly loosened.

"Got it. ”

"Also, you should also prepare in advance for your marriage, although you don't know who is summoned, but it's always good to be prepared. ”

"Yes. ”

"Alright, you stand down. With that, he turned his head to the side behind the curtain and said nothing more.

Ying Ying was silent, bowed to her mother behind the curtain, and exited the dormitory while the other palace maids were busy.

"Your Majesty," As soon as the door of the dormitory was closed, Wen Lao, who was kneeling outside, stood up and walked behind Ying Ying, who was not mature at this time, and his back looked even more insignificant.

"Your Majesty......" Looking at her who was silent, Elder Wen said even more worriedly.

"Hmm!" Ying Ying, who was facing away from him, nodded heavily, wiped her face hard with her sleeve, turned around and asked with a bright smile, "What's wrong, Old Wen?"

"You, it's okay. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, do I look like something's going on?" she asked, tilting her head back with her hand hidden behind her back.

Even if you want to be spoiled, it doesn't matter.

Wen Lao wanted to say this.

But—

"That's really, wonderfully, Your Majesty. ”

Wen Lao smiled and nodded, but there was also a trace of bitterness in that smile, and Yu Lao, who was standing on the side, still maintained a posture with his head down.

I'm afraid that his majesty will see his gloomy face.

"By the way, Elder Wen Yu, you all heard it just now, so please help me prepare for going to Mongros. ”

"Yes, obey the holy order," Elder Wen and Elder Yu bowed their heads at the same time.

"Hmm...... So what are you going to do next? Elder Wen, what are the next arrangements? ”

"Your Majesty, it's your study time next, and Sir is already waiting for you. ”

"Ahh ”

Because learning is also very important.

Looking at Ying Ying like this, Old Man Wen slowly lowered his head, then raised his head as if he had made up his mind, and said with a smile, "Then it's just for these few days." ”

"Huh?"

Elder Wen turned around and said to the eunuchs and palace maids who were still kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty has already been to the emperor today, and has completed other work, do you all know about it?"

"Yes. The crowd, which was kneeling on the ground, responded in unison.

"Wen Lao ......"

"Very good, that's it," Wen Lao nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is still a period of time before the day of departure, and the opportunity is rare, please take a good rest during this period of time." ”

“…… Is this really possible?" As soon as she heard that she could rest, Ying Ying subconsciously jumped a little, but then became worried again.

"Well, no problem at all. ”

Wen Lao nodded, and the eyes of the two immediately turned to Yu Lao, who was standing aside.

I saw that Yu Lao seemed to glare at Wen Lao a little angrily, but when he saw Ying Ying's expectant look, he shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty. ”

"Isn't it really going to work......

"I've been feeling cold lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you for the time being," he said, pretending to be uncomfortable with some exaggeration.

However, it is particularly funny that he has a serious appearance by nature, making such an expression.

Yu Lao glared fiercely at the snickering Wen Lao, and said lightly: "However, although I can't serve by your side at all times, I will still go to the emperor every day to ask about your recent situation." ”

"So, if it's just a few days, please rest well and prepare for the next few masters. ”

You just need to relax, and as for the rest, leave it all to us, that's probably what Yu Lao means.

"That's it, Your Majesty," said Elder Wen, "and where do you want to go today? I'm afraid you don't know, but there are actually quite a few interesting places in the city." ”

"Hmm...... Then I want to go to that street in the gunsmiths' union!"

"There's a bit of a mess there, but, well, today is a special exception, don't go there, Your Majesty. ”

"Well, listen to me, I heard others say, there are many, many interesting things on that street, snacks, clothes, which have never been seen outside. ”

"Oh, is that so, Your Majesty. ”

"Uh-huh! Moreover, I heard that there are puppets and machines that can move without magic and fighting spirit, and they are very powerful, just like the ones I have seen in China before!"

"Oh, yes, that's really powerful, but Your Majesty, do you want to deal with your hands first?"

"Hmm, I'm here, my hands are fine!

"Yes, your hands are fine, but if you don't take care of it, you won't be able to hold anything for a while. ””

“…… Okay, but first of all, my hand was, I accidentally fell and bruised, that's it!"

"Ah, that's terrible, please be careful in the future, then, please let the minister see your hands. ”

"Yes!"
