Chapter 44: Unexpected Trust
Thinking that Xiao Yan had saved Chu Yi and Fu Qianqian after all, Chu Tingxiao's handsome face showed a smile and waved his hand: "I will reward you with another hundred taels of gold, by the way, since you have just arrived in the capital, I allow you to go out of the palace once a month to see the customs of Dayan and prosper in Beijing." β
Xiao Yan was stunned, then bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
Chu Yi thought of Cen Xiao, who was injured and dismissed, and his heart moved, and he suddenly coughed.
Chu Tingxiao was already scared of Chu Yi's cough, and as soon as she coughed, he remembered the ten thousand taels of silver he had allocated two days ago.
However, what can I do, my daughter, I want to spoil her with tears, Chu Tingxiao asked with concern: "Liuliu, what's wrong, where is it uncomfortable, I will find the imperial doctor to show you again." β
"Father, today's events made Yongning very afraid, if there was no Xiao Yan, Yongning would definitely die in Huangquan, so Yongning learned from the pain and decided to learn martial arts!" Chu Yi said.
Chu Tingxiao said: "Oh? This is a good thing, learning martial arts can strengthen the body, my six or six are outstanding, Hui quality Lan heart, and then learn martial arts, isn't that a strange woman who is all-round in civil and military affairs, heroic and sassy. β
Chu Tingxiao couldn't help but sigh, he is really the best father in the world, both open-minded and gentle, where can those rebels find such a good father.
Chu Yi: "Yes, yes, I think so too." β
Chu Tingxiao: "Okay, I'll turn around ......"
He looked at Chu Yi's slightly red eyes and frightened pale face, and swallowed the word "turn back": "Zhang Desheng, you let Su Xuan ...... No, Xiao Xuan is just a wood, what should he do if he scares Liuliu again. β
Chu Tingxiao originally wanted his henchman, Su Xuan, the commander of the Yulin Army, to teach Chu Yi, but when he recalled Su Xuan's iceberg face, he denied his own words, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Let Wang Zhi teach Liuliuββ"
Wang Zhi is another chief eunuch in the palace and one of the leaders of the dark hall.
Chu Yi interrupted Chu Tingxiao's words, his eyes lit up like torches: "Isn't this a ready-made person!" β
Chu Tingxiao frowned and looked at Zhang Desheng's wrinkled middle-aged eunuch face: "Liuliu wants Zhang Desheng to teach?" Don't you think he's ugly? β
Zhang Desheng: "......" The emperor is talking about human words?
Chu Yi: "It's not Gonggong Zhang." β
Chu Tingxiao: "It's not Zhang Desheng, it's not Wang Zhi......"
Only then did he turn around and look at Xiao Yan, with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "It can't be him." β
"Yongning thinks that Xiao Yan's martial arts are very good, and he can just teach himself," Chu Yi said, "Moreover, Gonggong Zhang and Gonggong Wang should both use flying knives or hidden weapons as weapons, does my father want Yongning to learn flying knives?" Xiao Yan is different, he uses a sword, and the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and Yongning likes it very much. β
"Yi'er, you actually want him to teach you martial arts...... Uncle, Gongzi Yan did save us before, and his martial arts must be very good. β
Fu Qianqian was surprised, and thought of Chu Yi's previous sentence, "I don't know if he is in danger or not, all I know is that he saved me and you just now." He fell into deep thought again.
Suddenly, she looked at Xiao Yan with less fear and hostility, and took the initiative to help Chu Yi persuade him.
Since she thought about it, she had no reason to object, and besides, she felt that Cen Xiao looked down on women before, so she was also full of prejudice against Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan heard Chu Yi's words, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and somehow, his heart that had just calmed down quickly jumped again.
Princess Yongning, let him teach her martial arts?
What she said in Mingyue Pavilion that day wasn't a joke.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't have a weapon in the palace, he just ordered the two snow wolves, and he didn't use weapons - how did Chu Yi know that he was using a sword?
Chu Tingxiao didn't notice the problem with Chu Yi's words, he thought that Xiao Yan might have used the guard's sword to scare the two wolves just now.
And he really couldn't imagine the cute and cute Liuliu, holding a flying knife and spinning around.
It's just that he doesn't want Xiao Yan to teach Chu Yi martial arts.
"It's not proper," Chu Tingxiao hesitated for two seconds, but still shook his head, "Liuliu wants to learn martial arts, I can agree, if you don't want to learn from Wang Zhi, I will find a good teacher for you one day, and besides, you have to let Zhuxue take care of your body first, and then talk about learning martial arts." β
As he spoke, he looked around: "By the way, what about the snow, what about the ice, why aren't they here today." β
His attitude was very resolute, and in order to prevent Chu Yi from mentioning it again, he even did not hesitate to change the topic awkwardly.
Chu Yi knew that Xiao Yan had the identity of the enemy country's proton, and it was already rare for her father and Fu Qianqian not to be prejudiced against Xiao Yan.
It's just that she still wants to try to askβit turns out that it doesn't work.
"They just happened to be sent by me to do something, and I don't blame them for this." Chu Yi explained.
She looked at Xiao Yan and bit her lower lip. Even if Xiao Yan saves himself now, he can't get the trust of his father, so in his previous life, how did he come over in the five years when he was thrown into the court without her and no one cared about him?
Chu Yi sighed in his heart, and said: "Xiao Yan's martial arts are so good, isn't it a waste of talent to be confined to the palace every day, it's better for my father to let him be a guard to protect him-"
Before she finished speaking, Chu Tingxiao nodded: "You're right, Xiao Yan will be a royal guard and protect me." β
Chu Yi: "......"
Is her father serious, let Xiao Yan, a prince of Yongguo, be the imperial guard?
"Xiao Yan, are you willing?" Chu Tingxiao looked at the face of the young man in front of him, he didn't know what he thought, his black eyes became deeper and deeper, and his tone was as majestic and serious as ever.
There was no disgust and prejudice against an enemy proton in his eyes, nor did he have any meaning of humiliation, but only the emperor's scrutiny of his courtiers.
Xiao Yan pursed his thin lips slightly, suppressed the doubts in his eyes, and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is willing." β
For the first time, he did not call himself a "foreign minister" in front of the Yan people.
Yongguo only has torture and darkness for him, but the funny thing is that he feels the ...... that he has never felt in Yan Kingdom, which is an enemy country Self-esteem and equality as a human being.
It was already an accident to be rewarded with gold by Chu Tingxiao and allowed him to leave the palace, as for being Chu Yi's guard or martial arts master, Xiao Yan knew from the beginning that it was impossible.
He just didn't expect that Chu Tingxiao would actually let him be the imperial guard.
Chu Tingxiao nodded with satisfaction: "Zhang Desheng, you will send someone to protect the county lord of Yongjia and return to the eldest princess's mansion later, explain the matter to the eldest sister, and then send Liuliu back to Weiyang Palace in person." β
"Yes."
He looked at Yi Concubine, and a deep coldness flashed in his eyes: "Today's matter, although the snow wolf hurting people has nothing to do with you, but the cause is you, and I don't care about it anymore for the sake of you being frightened, go back and deal with the palace maid's funeral, you just close your door and think about it, without my will, don't appear in front of me again." β
"The concubine obeys." Yi Concubine trembled and nodded again and again.
"As for Xiao Yan, if you look for Zhang Desheng the day after tomorrow, he will arrange for you to be on duty."
Chu Tingxiao finally smiled at Chu Yi soothingly, and then left.
After walking some distance, the emperor stopped and looked back.
Chu Yi and Xiao Yan were still standing in place, the young girl was high and low, black clothes and red dresses, which looked particularly suitable.
"Even if he is your Wei Rudai's son, I can't trust him easily."
He thought of the woman who had saved his and Gu Sangsang's lives many years ago, and muttered to himself.
"But since it's your son, I want to believe that he's a kind child."
