The emperor fixed his eyes and saw that what was in the box was not an imaginary sword, gun and weapon, but a huge multicolored lion head.

"What is this?" The emperor asked suspiciously.

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "I plan to let them perform a lion dance for you at your birthday banquet." Not only will they play, but I will also play. Amma, look! He rummaged through the cabinets and found a lion dance dress and showed it to the emperor: "Look, this is for me to wear, don't I look good when I wear it?" ”

When the emperor saw it, he didn't know that he had misunderstood this child, so he hurriedly praised and said, "It's beautiful!" It's really good-looking! ”

Shang Jinnan said depressedly: "But my plan has been seen through by you, Ama, and the surprise is gone." Nan'er has been planning for this for a long time, and today I want them to rehearse and rehearse here. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Silly boy, the most important thing in giving gifts is your heart, and I have already received your heart." This is the best gift I have received on my birthday this year. ”

"Really?!" Shang Jinnan's face brightened again: "That's really good!" Amma! He saw the villagers who were still kneeling on the ground behind him, and he said to the emperor: "Amma, let them get up quickly, they are all people who help Nan'er." ”

After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand. Only then did those officers and soldiers untie the dumb holes of the villagers and let them go, and the villagers knew that what was in front of them was the current saint, and they were nervous for a while, except for the grace of the emperor not to kill, and they didn't know what to say.

However, the queen didn't expect that she would make a fuss, and her mood was very unbeautiful.

Shang Jinnan took the emperor's hand and shook it very childishly: "Amma, Amma, are you also here to escape the summer?" ”

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the emperor saw Shang Jinnan's expression even more pity: "Yes, the queen has lost her appetite recently, and I accompanied her here to cool off." ”

When Shang Jinnan heard this, he looked at the queen anxiously and said, "Queen, are you not feeling well?" Nan'er should take a look at the imperial doctor. Take some medicine and you won't feel sick soon! ”

The queen's face had already changed to a kind look, how could there be a little cynicism just now, she smiled: "Fourth, you have a heart." Bengong has already seen the imperial doctor, as long as he rests. ”

Shang Jinnan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and he asked again: "But Amma, why don't you tell Nan'er when you come here to escape the summer, Nan'er knows about it, so she won't rehearse here." ”

The emperor knew that Shang Jinnan was still angry that his surprise plan was exposed, so he touched Shang Jinnan's head with a smile and said, "Silly boy, I also came temporarily, and no one knows." I didn't mean not to tell you, you didn't look, and there weren't many people who came with me. ”

When Shang Jinnan heard this, he immediately retorted: "Amma, don't lie to me, there are so many people here!" He pointed to the officers and soldiers who had just rushed out: "They scared the baby to death!" ”

The emperor was not reminded and did not pay attention, but now he took a sharp look, indeed, where did these officers and soldiers come from, he did not order so many people to accompany him.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately looked at the queen: "Empress, are they sent by you?" ”

The queen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and she whispered: "The concubine is worried that there will be people on this road who will be unfavorable to the emperor, so she sent someone to protect you in secret." "In fact, it was because she already knew that the fourth prince was going to rebel, so she dispatched so many officers and soldiers to facilitate the arrest of the fourth prince.

I didn't expect it to be self-defeating now, but I handed over a handle.

"Oh?" After the emperor heard this, the eyes of the queen became meaningful.

Shang Jinnan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly helped the queen and said: "Amma, don't blame the queen, the queen is also worried about Amma." You see, just now, Nan'er didn't do anything, she immediately sent someone to protect Amma. Speaking of this, he still had palpitations on his face: "But the queen is so fierce, she didn't let Nan'er have a chance to explain, so she decided that Nan'er wanted to hurt Amma, how could Nan'er hurt Ama if she liked Ama so much, but she must be like this because she was worried about Amma, Nan'er was also worried about Amma, so Nan'er forgave her!" ”

When the queen, who had just tried to fool herself out, heard this, she even wanted to kill Shang Jinnan. Sure enough, the emperor's eyes when he looked at her became even more meaningful.

The queen knew that the emperor was suspicious, so she hurriedly smiled at Shang Jinnan and said, "Fourth, this palace is sick and confused, and I have wronged you." This palace will apologize to you, don't take it to heart, okay? ”

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "Oh, so that's the case, Queen, I forgive you!" ”

"Fourth, did you just say that there was no one around you?" The emperor said suddenly.

Shang Jinnan was surprised, he nodded and said, "That's right! ”

The emperor said: "In that case, Eichi. ”

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from a tree not far away, and landed silently. He was dressed in black and had a strong figure. He half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the shadow is here!" ”

The emperor looked at Ying Yi and said, "Ying Yi, from today on, you follow the fourth." He looked at Shang Jinnan and said, "Shadow One, I will give it to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shang Jinnan and the queen's faces changed.

The emperor has shadow guards, a total of ten, from the beginning of the shadow to the end of the shadow ten.

Shadow One not only represents the number, but also represents that this is the head of the Shadow Guard, and it is still the strongest and most powerful of the Shadow Guard's generation.

Since the past, the shadow generation has been followed by the emperor or the future emperor, and now the emperor has given the shadow to Shang Jinnan, what does this mean?

Is this really just pure pampering? Or does it mean something else?

Shang Jinnan didn't know what this meant, he walked over happily, looked at Yingyi and said, "Amma, is this little brother playing with me?" ”

Shadow listened to it one by one, and his face stiffened.

The emperor smiled and said: "Shadow will protect your safety in the future, listen to your dispatch, and do whatever you want him to do." However, fourth, Shadow One is my right-hand man, so don't toss him too much. ”

Shang Jinnan asked curiously, "Amma, is it mine after Shadow One?" ”

The emperor said, "Of course. ”

Shang Jinnan tilted his head and asked, "Listen to me alone?" ”

The emperor said, "That's right. ”

Shang Jinnan continued to ask, "Then Kageichi, if I talk to Amma at the same time, then who will you listen to?" ”

Ying Yi was stunned, he never expected that the fourth prince would ask such a tricky question.

The emperor was also stunned, he didn't expect the fourth child to ask like this, but at the same time, he also wanted to see how Ying Yi would answer.

Eichi broke out in a cold sweat, and the question was simply equivalent to "Who are you going to save when your wife and your mother fall into the sea?" "Just as perverted. Shadow thought for a long time and said, "Shadow listens to the master." ”

That is to say, whoever is the master of his shadow one, then he will listen to whomever he is.

It was the first time that Keichi was praised so directly by his master, even if he had always been paralyzed, his ears couldn't help but burn.

"Where, lord, this is all a trick on the part of subordinates." Keichi said modestly.

After Shang Jinnan heard this, he didn't care whether Ying Yi was clever or not, he said directly: "Then let's do it again!" Let's see if you can find me this time~"

The answer, of course, is yes.

After Ying Yi found Shang Jinnan for the Nth time, Shang Jinnan said boringly: "Ying Yi, it's not fun to play hide and seek with you at all, you are a ghost, and you always find me quickly, I am a ghost, no matter how I look for you, I can't find you." ”

When Yingyi, who was not good at words, heard this, he said solemnly: "It's the subordinates who did something wrong, and the subordinates are willing to be punished." ”

Shang Jinnan asked strangely, "Why should I punish you?" ”

Ying Yi said: "Because your subordinates are not doing well, you are unhappy to provoke the prince." ”

Shang Jinnan said: "But you didn't do anything wrong, you have already played with me." ”

Kageichi was silent. In his concept, as long as he makes his master unhappy, no matter what the beginning and end of the matter, it is his fault, and if it is wrong, it should be punished.

Shang Jinnan didn't correct Ying Yi's thoughts, he thought about it and said, "Then I'll punish you......"

Ying Yi waited for his punishment, but unexpectedly heard Shang Jinnan say: "I'll punish you to chat with me!" ”

Ying Yi looked up in surprise, he didn't expect Shang Jinnan to chat with him.

The reason why the shadow guards are called shadow guards is because they were born like shadows, quietly following the master's side, and dealing with all the things that are not visible to the master. They just need to be obscure and keep a low profile, and no one will want to chat with them except for the internal communication of the shadow guard, because they don't even know about their existence.

Silence is one thing they have to learn from an early age.

No matter what happens, you can't reveal the slightest bit of information about your master, no matter what happens, you can't have your own personal senses, they are knives and weapons, and they have to do whatever the master says.

That's all there is to Shadow Guard.

The first time Ying Yi received this kind of request, Hao Ran, who was a little fresh but also a little unfamiliar, asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "I don't know you yet, Eichi, why don't you tell me about you?" ”

Ying Yi thought about it, and after deleting the things that should not be known to Shang Jinnan, he found that his life was simply boring: "We Yingwei have nothing to say, we are secretly protecting our master and helping our master do things......"

"Wow!" Shang Jinnan exclaimed: "Then you are so powerful!" ”

Ying Yi looked at Shang Jinnan suspiciously.

Shang Jinnan said: "You guard us silently every day, will you be tired?" ”

"Tired?"

"That's right! Aren't you tired of standing in the same place every day, motionless and guarding us? I feel so tired just thinking about it. ”

Keichi was silent for a moment: "I'm used to it." "Maybe he used to feel tired when he was a child, but after gritting his teeth to survive, when time passes, this has become a habit engraved in the depths of his soul, he has long forgotten what it means to be tired.

Of course, no one has ever asked him whether you are tired or not, what he has always been told is that no matter how tired you are, you have to hold on, and the shadow guard is not qualified to be tired.

So, when a young man showed a look of adoration in his eyes and asked worriedly if he would be tired, Kageichi was surprised.

"You're really good!" Shang Jinnan praised again: "Then what about you before, before you became a shadow guard, what were you like?" ”

Ying Yi said: "We shadow guards are all orphans, without a father or mother, and have no place to return. It is precisely because of this that he can completely sacrifice himself for his master, because he has no concern.

Shang Jinnan patted a picture and asked, "Will you be sad?" ”

Keichi said, "No." ”

Shang Jinnan asked, "Then don't you miss your parents?" Want to know who they are and where they are now? ”

Shadow shook his head: "As a shadow guard, the past is broken." ”

Shang Jinnan wanted to continue asking, but Ying Yi took the lead in interrupting: "Lord Wang, it's getting late, my subordinates will escort you back to the room." ”

Shang Jinnan looked at the sky and said, "Yes, it's already so late before I know it." He looked at Kageichi and said, "Look, isn't that moon beautiful!" ”

As soon as Ying looked up, the moon like a white jade disk hung high in the sky, surrounded by stars, very beautiful.

He nodded and said, "Beautiful." ”
