Chapter 18: Worthy of Me (18)
My court lacks valuable labor.
Ji Zhuo attaches great importance to the upcoming Spring Festival, and there is still a month to go, but he has already begun to ponder the assessment questions and the invigilator.
"Your Majesty, Young Envoy Shen is here."
Father-in-law An whispered to her.
"Well, let him in."
Ji Zhuo looked at a few books, picked out a few and put them in a stack, looked up at Shen Hua who entered the door and spoke again.
"In the future, just come in, you don't have to report it."
Shen Hua and Father-in-law An were both shocked.
There is no need to report when entering and leaving the imperial study, such a privilege is a rare honor for the famous favorite concubines of all dynasties.
"Yes." Although Gonggong An was surprised, he didn't say anything, and after answering, he withdrew from the palace gate and stood at the door.
Shen Hua suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and after bowing respectfully as usual, he stepped forward to serve the pen and ink.
Seeing that the books on the table were messy, he couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, do you need the minister to tidy it up?" ”
Ji Zhuo didn't answer, but picked up a few books and threw them to him, "These books are quite brainy, read them well." ”
"In the spring of a month, prepare well, so that you can bear the name of a palace concubine, don't lose my face."
Ji Zhuo's tone was always cold, but it set off waves in Shen Hua's heart, and even if he tried his best to suppress it, he couldn't suppress the waves in his heart.
Clutching the few books given by Ji Zhuo, the knuckles of his fingers were slightly white, as if he was trying to restrain something.
Shen Hua's heart was swollen, and he had never been throbbing.
He bought books, copied books, stole books, and sold books in times of great hardship, but no one ever seriously picked them for him.
When he was innocent, he also grabbed the hem of Shen's father's clothes, and pleaded with a little longing and cautiously, "Daddy, I want to study." ”
"The son of a lowly maid, what's the use of studying?"
Calm and cold words, condemn the original sin of his birth.
He knows that he is different from other people's sons.
The son-in-law of other people's families will give more or less expectations at home, will cultivate them with their hearts, will teach carefully, and will supervise their studies.
But he is not someone else's son, he has nothing.
Occasionally, when he heard someone complaining about his heavy studies, he was very envious, his heart was very painful, and his aggrieved, jealous and unwilling emotions tortured him so young that he could only shrink in the corner and cry.
His mother said that studying is very important.
At an age when others complain about heavy studies, he even has a luxury of going to school, Yin Yin He is the son of a good Shangshuling!
But his situation is not as good as that of the poor.
Father Shen hated him for being despicable, why didn't he hate the Shen family?
But he couldn't change the fact that he was born in the Shen family, and he couldn't lose half of the Shen family's bloodline.
Even if he hates it to the bone, there is Father Shen's blood in his bones.
How innocent is he?
He can't decide to be born, and he can't change the fate of the Heavenly Demon Lone Star.
He can only resign himself to fate, silently bearing all the ridiculous, seemingly taken for granted accusations and cold eyes.
Whoever made him humble was born faceless.
Except for her mother, who told her to "study hard in the future", no one ever expected him.
The son-in-law of other people's families was afraid of urging and scolding.
It's something he's ever dreamed of.
Expectation? Relatives who are related by blood say he is not worthy.
But at this time, the unattainable Son of Heaven said-
"Don't lose my face."
How can he afford the face of the Son of Heaven?
Everyone said he was born a waste, everyone was dismissive of him, everyone trampled him into the mire......
But the most noble person in the world has high hopes for him.
He Shen Hua, how can he de?
The ink in the inkstone was dry, but no one studied the ink, and carefully flipped through the questions of the previous year's examinations, and only then did he notice Shen Hua's abnormality.
She looked up, only to see the corners of his eyes reddening.
"What's wrong?"
…… Crying, crying?
I was also a little stunned.
"Your Majesty......" Shen Hua's voice was choked, and his reddish eyes flashed with water, sparkling and sad.
"How can the minister be so generous to His Majesty?"
"Don't talk nonsense," the empress would only speak coldly, not knowing what comfort was at all, "Don't think that pretending to be pitiful, I will let you go, Chunyu can't get the top ten, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Hua knelt down.
“……”
If you don't agree, you will kneel.
Can't you take pity on my floor?
Tianxiu smiled.
Ji Zhuo rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister would rather die than live up to Your Majesty!"
Shen Hua kowtowed cautiously, his voice hoarse but loud.
He carefully put down the book, walked a few steps to her, held a bamboo tube in both hands and offered it, and took it in confusion.
Disassemble the bamboo tube and pour out the letter and medicine bottle.
She looked at it almost at a glance, skipping Father Shen's crooked nonsense, and quickly grasped the point.
One last glance at the small porcelain vase.
I knew that someone wanted my dog's life.
Shen Hua waited anxiously for her reaction, and waited for a while, without the expected anger or coldness.
She just threw the letter on the case, and then said calmly to Shen Hua: "Get up." ”
Shen Hua was stunned, and some didn't react.
Ji Zhuo raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling, "What?" Do you want me to help you? ”
Shen Hua got up in a hurry, accidentally bumped into the table, and almost fell, but fortunately was helped by Ji Zhuo.
Ji Zhuo: "......"
Sure enough, I want to help.
"Isn't Your Majesty angry?"
Shen Hua looked at her in disbelief, his mood calmed down a little, but his voice was still a little astringent.
"Gas? What's so angry? ”
Ji Zhuo's whole body was full of indifference.
"I already know what Shang Shu Ling is."
Ji Zhuo casually poured out the poisonous powder in the porcelain bottle, and after a little inspection, he knew that it was a colorless and odorless chronic poison, and then closed the stopper and threw it to Shen Hua.
"Besides, there are many people in the world who want to kill me, if everyone I had to be angry, and I didn't need them to kill me, I would have been angry to death a long time ago."
Shen Hua lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, "Then Your Majesty is not worried, the ministers will ......"
"You? Will you? She looked at him, as if she thought the question was a little funny.
"Let's not talk about whether you have the ability to hurt me, if you have a little brain, you should know that I am dead, and it will not do you any good."
"Shang Shuling will keep you? Will my courtiers keep you? ”
"Don't say anything about correcting your biological mother and making you your heir, these words will come as soon as you open your mouth, and the ghosts won't believe it."
"You don't think you're going to get to that point, are you?"
Ji Zhuo looked at him suspiciously.
I'm not going to take in a fool, am I?
“……”
The corners of Shen Hua's eyes twitched, and he was speechless for a while, seeing His Majesty's suspicious gaze, he held back a sentence after a while, "Your Majesty rest assured." ”
"That's good."
I didn't raise a fool for nothing.
"Hahaha, laughing to death, how can there be such a person in the world who is so incomprehensible to you, doing evil, hahahahaha......"
Tianxiu laughed and rolled all over the ground, a ball that was already round, but suddenly couldn't get up, and the melon seeds were scattered all over the ground.
“……”
