After Xia Baifeng left, the palace was quiet for a while.
Bai Luoluo continued to live his little life with Maojiu.
After a period of time, Mao Jiu also seemed to gradually get used to living in the sun, and got rid of some of the dark guard's problems-for example, as long as he stood, he had to stand in an inconspicuous corner.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys are developing. Since Mao Jiu started to eat with Bai Luoluo, his height has begun to rise slowly.
Bai Luoluo became familiar with him a little, and asked him what he liked to eat.
Maojiu squeezed his chopsticks and said something in a low voice that he liked it.
Bai Luoluo said, "Do you like meat or vegetables?"
Mao Jiu pursed her lips, and said a meaty word with embarrassment.
Bai Luoluo glanced at a table of good dishes and said, "How often did you eat meat when you were the secret guards?"
Maojiu thought for a while and said, "Twice a month."
Bai Luoluo thought that it seemed normal to eat meat twice a month in this low productivity ancient times. Thinking so, he ordered it privately.
So when the two ate for the second time, it became a situation where most of the meat was in front of Mao Jiu.
When Bai Luoluo and Maojiu got along, there were many more details. Anyway, Bai Luoluo took care of Maojiu as a child.
Of course, when he was doing these things, the system also reminded him not to do too much, so as not to cause suspicion.
Bai Luoluo calmed down a little after listening to the system's words, but what he didn't expect was that his actions still attracted the attention of others.
This other person is not a perfunctory object, but Yuan Feiyan's elder brother, the current sage.
Yuan Feiyan and today's Holy Mountain share the same father and mother, and have a very good relationship. When he first won the heirloom, Yuan Feiyan also helped a lot, so his brother has always been tolerant to him. He bullied men and women and provoked a lot of people, and it was the sage who wiped his ass for him.
Being suddenly announced to the palace, Bai Luoluo felt a little guilty, and sat in the carriage to discuss with the system what the emperor wanted him to do.
The system said, "Maybe I'm chatting with you."
Bai Luoluo said, "What if he finds out that I am not Yuan Feiyan."
The system was silent for a moment, and then said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, there is a subsidy after being burned to death."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
The system said, "Go in peace."
Bai Luoluo was speechless. When he was training in the unit, he was repeatedly told not to underestimate the IQ of these world aborigines. Once he was found out that he was not Yuan Feiyan, there was a high probability that he would be burned to death, because he was here In the world, there is actually a virus-like existence...
The carriage passed the palace gate, and soon sent Bai Luoluo outside the study.
Bai Luoluo got off the carriage and waited outside for a while before someone opened the door and welcomed him in.
The weather is getting colder and colder recently, and there was a heavy snowfall only a few days ago. When Bai Luoluo entered the house, he saw his imperial brother sitting in front of the desk, looking down at something.
"Here?" The emperor looked a bit similar to him, but there was a little more majesty in his demeanor.
"My younger brother sees the emperor." Bai Luoluo saluted.
"Get up." The emperor put the pen down and said lightly, "I haven't seen you in a few months, why are you so thin?"
Bai Luoluo smiled and said, "It's cold, and I don't have any appetite in bed every day."
The emperor nodded and said nothing.
Bai Luoluo had only seen such things as the royals of the imperial palace on TV. This time, he had opened his eyes to this world. It was different from what he saw on TV. When he really stood in front of the emperor, he realized that something like the emperor's aura really existed.
Bai Luoluo lowered his head and looked at the back of his feet, with a look of respect on his face, but he was roaring at the system in his heart: "His eyes are so scary, has he already discovered something?"
The system's voice was as gentle as water, but what he said was what left Bai Luoluo speechless. He said, "Don't worry, I will block your pain when you are burned to death."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
The system said, "Don't be afraid, hold me tight."
Bai Luoluo was silent for a while, and said, "So how much is the subsidy if you are burned to death?"
The system said: "Subsidize three days of vacation."
Bai Luoluo: "... No salary?"
The system said, "You think too much."
Bai Luoluo: "..." Haha, the evil capitalism.
The room was quiet for a while, until Bai Luoluo's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the emperor spoke again. He said, "I heard that you recently hired a new shadow guard?"
Bai Luoluo: "Huh?"
The emperor said, "Yes or no?"
Bai Luoluo said: "Yes..."
The emperor's expression was like a smile, but he said: "That shadow guard looks exactly like you?"
Bai Luoluo: "..."
Seeing that Bai Luoluo couldn't answer, the emperor sighed and said, "You are playing more and more crazy."
Bai Luoluo almost didn't mention it in one breath.
The emperor said: "I know that you are not taboo when it comes to men and women, but this person looks exactly like you, how can you do it?"
Bai Luoluo said right, right, why do you think I can do it!
The emperor saw that Bai Luoluo's face was blue and white, thinking that what he said embarrassed Bai Luoluo, he softened his tone again, and said, "You have to be careful about these things, and don't go too far."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
The emperor said, "Huh?"
Bai Luoluo had no choice but to respond, he thought, probably everyone in the court knew that this prince was a pervert who was narcissistic enough to "get" himself.
The emperor chatted with Bai Luoluo about some things, and finally said suddenly: "Don't you like to eat grapes the most? Recently, some have been grown in the greenhouse. If there are not many, you can take them back and eat them."
Bai Luoluo was stunned when he heard the words, and then said: "Grape? But the emperor, the younger brother doesn't like to eat grapes."
The emperor smiled charmingly and said, "Oh, it's because my brother remembered it wrong."
Bai Luoluo looked at the emperor's smile, and immediately realized that he asked this not because he forgot that his younger brother didn't like grapes, but just to test Bai Luoluo on purpose.
Fortunately, Bai Luoluo has a memory about Yuan Feiyan, so he didn't reveal the secret.
"Let's go." The emperor said slowly, "Don't play too much, it will be the New Year in a few months, so you should prepare everything you need."
Bai Luoluo nodded and said yes, and then withdrew.
It was getting late at this time, a thick layer of white snow was attached to the ground and the eaves, and Bai Luoluo was sitting on the carriage wearing a big horse. The taste of the ancient New Year is much stronger than that of Bai Luoluo's era. The red lanterns, the beautiful window grilles, and the clothes of the people are all preparing for the grandest festival of the year.
When Bai Luoluo got home, Mao Jiu was still reading a book in the room. He pushed open the door and entered, and saw the boy sitting under the orange light.
The boy held the book, frowned slightly, and was studying the book Bai Luoluo left him word by word. Hearing Bai Luoluo's footsteps, Mao Jiu stood up and called Bai Luoluo a master.
Bai Luoluo walked over and let Maojiu sit down.
Maojiu paused for a while, and sat down again with Bai Luoluo's words.
"卯九, what do you think after reading so many books?" Bai Luoluo asked after taking a sip of the warm tea.
"Thinking?" Mao Jiu's face was a little blank, obviously not knowing what Bai Luoluo wanted to ask him.
Bai Luoluo said, "Yes, my thoughts."
Most of the books Bai Luoluo read to Maojiu were historical books and biographies, which objectively recorded the replacement of dynasties, social development, and ideological changes. Of course, the content of this textbook is rather obscure, downplaying imperial power and emphasizing individual human rights.
This set of textbooks is said to be the most well-received version. It is quite educational and not too radical to be accepted.
Mao Jiu looked at Bai Luoluo, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Master, this subordinate has no objection."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
Maojiu said: "The master is everything to Maojiu. What the master asks Maojiu to do, Maojiu will do."
Bai Luoluo wanted to tell him, cub, my dad is very disappointed in you.
He looked at Mao Jiu's face, and after a while he said quietly, "What if I wanted you to die."
Maojiu said: "Master wants Maojiu to die, but Maojiu dare not live."
Bai Luoluo was silent for a while and said, "What if I want your body."
Hearing the words, Mao Jiu took a deep breath, then shook his hands to open the hole in his chest, and said in a trembling voice, "Master..."
Bai Luoluo felt sad for the child's honesty, and hurriedly stopped.
So Maojiu didn't move again.
Bai Luoluo looked at Maojiu's face, and his heart suddenly moved. He said slowly, "Maojiu, I want you to know one thing."
Mao Jiu's face was blank.
Bai Luoluo stretched out his hand, pressed it on his forehead, and said word by word, "You are a person, not an object."
Ukuru gritted his teeth.
Bai Luoluo said, "Even if he is your master, he can't let you do whatever you want, understand?"
Maojiu did not answer.
Bai Luoluo sighed lowly, and he said, "If you don't want to do something, just say it..."
But as soon as he said this, he heard Mao Jiu say in a low voice, "No, my lord, I'm just a dog..."
Bai Luoluo sighed in his heart, knowing that some things had penetrated deeply into Maojiu's soul when he was a shadow guard, and it could not be changed overnight, he nodded Maojiu's forehead and said, "You don't say everything listen to me."
Maojiu nodded.
Bai Luoluo said, "Then I want you to treat yourself as a person. Remember, you are a person."
Mao Jiu's eyes flashed, and after a while, she called out to the master again.
Bai Luoluo looked at him lovingly, as if he was looking at his son who he had worked so hard to raise.
