Chapter 21: Sycophants?
After putting on my shoes, I ran out of the inner dormitory, and found my father in the study, it turned out that he was writing something in front of the desk, and there was an unfolded book in front of the spread of rice paper, which seemed to be turned to a third of the way.
Stinky baba is really diligent in learning, what book are you reading this time? Is it still the kind of military book from last night?
At the same time as Baili Yihan's footsteps sounded, Baili Chiyan's brows furrowed.
The father-in-law who was waiting for the pen and ink next to him was shocked, and secretly said in his heart: It's not good!
His Majesty has a bad temper and likes to be quiet, especially when reading books and dealing with political affairs, and absolutely does not allow any movement around him.
He must be in good spirits when he waits on the side, and he must not make a little noise to disturb the emperor, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!
Last time, there was a palace maid who came to serve tea in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty was still reading at that time, and after the palace maid put the tea on the table, His Majesty picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip.
Somehow, His Majesty happened to see somewhere in the book, either puzzled or surprised. The Emperor frowned and put down the teacup that had been brought to his lips.
The palace maid thought that the tea she made was not to His Majesty's taste, so she immediately knelt down in fear, and cried vigorously: "The slave should die, the emperor spares his life!" Your Majesty, please forgive the slaves! The slave doesn't dare anymore! ”
The cry is disturbing to listen to.
Father-in-law Xu looked at the palace maid and only felt that it was over, but he would not sympathize with her, because it was the palace maid who had lost her sense of proportion, knowing that His Majesty did not like to make noise, and was so noisy, it was her recklessness that lost her life.
"Get out."
He clearly remembered that day, His Majesty didn't lift his eyelids, and directly spit out such a word coldly.
The palace maid's crying stopped, and His Majesty told her to get out, is it considered to forgive her? The maid of the palace felt as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly retreated.
But the moment she turned around, she heard a word like a lightning strike, and the whole person fell limply.
"Die."
The guards dragged her down, and the maid begged for mercy, but the guards choked her neck tightly, so that she could not make a sound.
In the end, the maid was put to death.
Since then, the palace people who are waiting for the Jiuhua Hall have been even more cautious, walking on thin ice, not daring to make a sound easily.
This Jiuhua Palace, which is obviously the place where the breath of the Son of Heaven is located, stands in the sun, full of the essence of the sun and the moon, but it is lifeless, cold all day long, gloomy like a grave.
Father-in-law Xu quietly peeked at the emperor, and sure enough, His Majesty's brows furrowed, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry next, right?
Hey, no, why did Your Majesty's brow stretch again? Am I hallucinating?
"Daddy, what are you doing?"
"Why do you ask so much?"
"Oh......"
Father-in-law hid the look of surprise in his eyes and continued to grind quietly.
I saw the fifth princess put her little head to His Majesty's side, raised her head hard, and paddled her heels, but because she was too short, she couldn't see the things on the table.
Didn't Your Majesty say that you wouldn't let the fifth princess ask so much? Obviously, he didn't want her to know what His Majesty was doing, and he didn't allow her to snoop.
Could it be that the fifth princess doesn't understand what His Majesty means? Why do you still want to join in this fun, don't really provoke Your Majesty to anger, Your Majesty's patience, but it has never been a good time.
However, Grandpa Xu may have underestimated Baili Chiyan's good temper at the moment.
Baili Chiyan sighed, lifted Baili Yihan and put it on his lap, his tone was a little helpless, "Can you see it now?" ”
Baili Yihan nodded happily and said with a smile: "Uh-huh! It turns out that Daddy is writing! It's so beautiful! ”
"You understand?"
Baili Yihan shook his head, "I don't understand." ”
"Then what are you talking about pretty, slapping sycophants?"
“……”
Do you have to slander a child's praise for "purity"? Stinky poop!
"Daddy, what's a sycophant?" I looked at him with big ignorant eyes on my face, not begging for much understanding.
I don't understand what you're talking about~ Dad.
“…… I just praise you, remember? ”
I'll you! I said I don't understand, do you really think I'm a sand sculpture? Big bastard! Actually deceived a child! Or their own biological child!
"Remember...... Live...... ......I tried my best to keep smiling and my tone sounding unusual.
I started to change the subject and asked him, "Daddy, why don't you call me when you get up?" In this way, Yihan can learn to write with his father. ”
Baili Chiyan sneered, "I see that you are sleeping like a piglet, and I am worried that you will not wake up." ”
I protested, "Not really!" If Daddy calls me, I'll wake up! ”
"You said you wanted to learn to write with me?"
Huh? The topic turned so blunt, but it turned back to my original topic, and I enjoyed it.
I nodded and replied, "Uh-huh!" ”
After all, I am a woman in the new era who has received nine years of compulsory education and seven years of non-compulsory education, and now it is really uncomfortable for me to pretend to be illiterate.
Besides, cultural knowledge is very important in any era, and I don't want to become the kind of boudoir lady on TV who can't go to school when the door is not out of the door during the feudal dynasty.
Second, I want to show myself well in front of my father, so that he thinks that I am also a diligent person, and I have a wave of goodwill. Then in the process of studying, let him discover my "talent" and know that I still have advantages!
As for the three, in this palace, among my father's concubines, Concubine Zhen is properly hostile; The queen, for the time being, is her own person; There is also a beautiful woman who doesn't seem to like me very much...... That's right, it feels like that beauty has a strange attitude towards me, although I don't know what that feels like yet.
Aside from the beauty, if it is a duel between the queen mother and Concubine Zhen, the combat effectiveness of the two parties is clear at a glance...... Although the queen's identity is more noble, and she can also use the queen's name to press Concubine Zhen, but judging from this morning, the weak queen really can't do anything with Concubine Zhen.
The look in Concubine Zhen's eyes when she left the Linhua Hall today also made me feel a trace of danger.
Therefore, for the sake of my stability in the palace in the future, I still rely on the man at the top of the food chain - my poop, which is the most reliable.
If he can be my backer, I will definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food, walk sideways in the palace, no one dares to bully me, tsk, that kind of day is very beautiful to think about.
So I have to hang around him all the time, even if it's also on the brink of death...... But it's good to be familiar with the face! I don't look forward to those imaginary good days, I just need one more person to protect me when I encounter danger, and that's enough.
Stinky poop him...... It should protect me, right? Occasional deep suspicion......
But then again, my decision was a quick one! How can I be so smart? Oh roar roar~
