Chapter Seventy-Eight: Su Yan's Concern
Not everyone likes to fight for power.
It's good that power is coming, there is no and no force, you can find some people to talk about when you are leisurely, and it is basic to have a worry-free life. Su Yan yawned, looked up and glanced at the sky, it was dark again, and the difficult day had finally passed.
It was still pitch black in front of the palace gate, not even a lantern was hung, who lived in Changle Palace Su Yan didn't know, he only knew that there would be some palace banquets here in the past, but unfortunately he was young at that time and didn't often participate, and occasionally from a distance, he could always see some ministers drunk out of the palace and go home, and it should be Dongye Gate to go down. It's a pity that he has been in and out of the palace many times, and he has never walked through the Dongye Gate.
Tired from kneeling, he sat down. Anyway, no one cares about the darkness, it's better to sit on the ground than to squat, I feel very relaxed when I just squat, and my legs will be numb after squatting for a long time. Kneeling with numb legs will be even worse. A little palace maid ran over with small steps, and there was a glass of water and some pastries on the wooden tray she was holding, and put it on the ground in front of Su Yan, Su Yan grinned, and the little palace maid also smiled, and then Su Yan picked up the snack and ate it.
"Where's my master?"
The little palace maid shook her head blankly.
"My master is a weirdo, you don't know what he said, what he said is very reasonable, but in fact, I don't really understand where the truth is. It's too profound. Su Yan was very anxious to eat, and while eating, he suddenly remembered something, "My father asked you to send me snacks and water?" ”
The little palace maid shook her head again.
"These snacks...... It was given to the slave by the little master, and the slave and the maid were given to the prince, so that you would not starve. ”
The little palace maid's voice is very delicate, her appearance is very delicate, she pulls up her skirt and looks at him in front of him, she is a very cute girl. Su Yan even felt that she was very much like the little palace maid she had been, but time had passed, and she didn't remember her appearance too clearly.
Su Yan thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't understand, and asked, "Why are you so good to me?" ”
The little palace maid seemed to be a little anxious, and she didn't hesitate for a long time, but she just said, "You are the prince......"
Su Yan smiled helplessly, probably the little palace maid thought he was one of the pampered little princes in the palace. Those little princes and grandchildren, even if they are not powerful, they also have a vote of palace maids and eunuchs to follow and take care of, and they are domineering on weekdays. The little palace maid should have never seen a prince who likes to kneel on the ground for a day and a night, and she thinks it is rare, and squats there and keeps looking at him.
Su Yan put his mind at ease and continued to eat dim sum, the more he ate, the more he felt that this dim sum was sweet and delicious, although he knew that this dim sum was overnight.
"What's your name?" Su Yan asked with a mouth full of dim sum.
"Xiaoyu, the female officials in the palace all call slaves and maids like this. The little sister called the slave and the fish. ”
"Little fish? The name is very good, my name is Su Yan, how old are you? ”
"Fifteen."
Su Yan vaguely remembered that the little palace maid who had been by him was thirteen years old, could it be her, forget it, he was thirteen of the fourteen palace maids back then, and now it is ...... Eighteen, no. Su Yan felt a little ridiculous after finishing the calculation, why did he associate this well-behaved little palace maid with that hateful palace maid who only knew how to cry? Speaking of which, it was the palace maid who teased herself first.
"Xiaoyu, you are the only acquaintance I know in the palace, can you go and help me ask where my master has gone."
Xiao Yu asked puzzledly, "What is ......the prince's master?"
"His name is Liu Wenyan, and he asked me to wait for him here, but I haven't seen anyone after waiting for a day and a night, can you help me ask those guards? My master is quite big, and he is the right commander, so they should know as soon as you say it. ”
Xiaoyu shook her head a little panickedly and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Su Yan sighed, looking at the appearance of this little palace maid, she felt that she should be the kind of cowardly little girl who was afraid of things, so why bother her.
"Forget it, my master has always kept his promise, and he asked me to wait here, there must be a reason for him." Su Yan continued to eat his dim sum, but unfortunately a small plate of dim sum was not eaten, and soon only one piece was left.
"Xiaoyu, eat with me, see you haven't eaten either." Su Yan said enthusiastically.
"Hmm." Xiao Yu seemed to be honored, and nodded with a light smile.
Su Yan broke the last piece of dim sum, half of each person, and then smiled and put the dim sum in his mouth. Xiaoyu took a bite and asked, "Is your master a good person?" ”
Su Yan thought for a while and said, "This question is hard to say, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad as a person, but he is good to me, just like you." ”
Xiao Yu said firmly: "My mother said to Xiao Yu when I was a child, you can't hurt people as a person, and the slave wants to be a good person...... The prince's master should also be a good person. ”
"Alas! It's a pity that I'm always annoyed with him, and every time I see him, he is a little impatient, probably because I'm too annoying by life, and in the past few years, no one has ever listened to me like you. Your dim sum is so delicious. ”
Xiao Yu smiled happily and said: "If the prince is still there tomorrow, Xiao Yu will send snacks again, and the little masters who are taken care of by the slaves and maids like to reward snacks." ”
"Little master? Is it the princess, my sister? Su Yan asked.
Xiaoyu shook his head: "No. The little lord is a maid from outside the palace, there are many, and they are all about the same age as Xiaoyu, and the emperor will occasionally recruit them to serve. ”
Su Yan sighed and said: "My father is disrespectful to the elderly, so many concubines, and you have to recruit maids outside the palace, Xiaoyu, you have to be careful to protect yourself in the palace, you can't be seen by that old guy, otherwise you will marry a man much older than you, no, he will not marry you and will not be responsible for you." ”
The first time Xiao Yu heard someone call the emperor "old guy", he was a little frightened. Su Yan smiled reluctantly and said, "When I'm talking nonsense." ”
Xiaoyu sat quietly with Su Yan, and then moved a little closer, Su Yan looked up at the sky, his expression was a little abrupt.
"Look at the stars in the sky, how shining. When my mother was alive, she said that everyone is a star in the sky, and when a person dies, he will always return to the sky. ”
Xiao Yu shook his head in confusion.
Su Yan smiled and said: "In the future, I will go to the sky to be a star, you and I will be closer to each other, and there will be people who often listen to me, this feeling...... Very good. ”
For some reason, when Su Yan said this, his nose suddenly became sore, and tears flowed down. Xiao Yu looked at Su Yan who was wiping his tears and snot in surprise, and handed over a handkerchief. Su Yan took the handkerchief and just smiled.
"The slave is going back." Xiao Yu was a little reluctant and said, "If you don't go back, the door of the inner court will be closed, and the female official will be punished if she can't find anyone." ”
"Oh, you're leaving? Can you help me ask the guards one thing before you go back? My master...... Forget it, he'll come. ”
Before Xiaoyu left, there was a mess at the palace gate, a team of guards withdrew in, and some eunuchs left in a hurry. Su Yan got up and asked, saying that there was chaos at the palace gate, and some people sealed the palace gate.
"How so?" Su Yan grabbed the long sleeves of a eunuch and asked, "Then have you ever seen my master?" His name is Liu Wenyan, and he should be the right commander of the guards. He said he would come......"
