Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (eight)
Shang Yue has been taught to be loyal to His Highness since he was conscious. He thinks he knows His Highness quite well. His Highness is very elegant and gentle. A word of virtue.
But he is the same to everyone. Just as gentle, just as polite, but just now, Shang Yue was sure that he was not mistaken, His Highness had changed a bit, his personality was a little moody and even cold and cruel, but he only showed special tenderness in front of that girl.
Even when there was no mutiny, he had been with His Highness for more than ten years, and he had never seen His Highness like this. Shang Yue is not a child who doesn't understand anything, he knows what the prince's actions represent, but His Highness doesn't seem to notice it, and he can't blame His Highness. What is love between men and women
But that girl looks too... Shang Yue accidentally saw it just now, and only after taking off the mask did he realize why she had to cover her face. He knew in his heart that as long as His Highness liked it, it was enough, but his reason told him that this girl was really worthy. If you are not worthy of His Highness, you will not be worthy of anywhere. Did Your Highness mistake kindness for the relationship between a man and a woman? Anyway, His Highness has not figured it out yet, so he should not point it out. He only hopes that His Highness will wake up in the future, otherwise the beauty of this girl is really difficult to be considered elegant.
His Highness will be the Son of Heaven in the future, so there will naturally be three thousand beauties around him, without this one, it would be a lot.
It was dark again when Ah Chou woke up, she rubbed her eyes, and then her stomach growled, only to realize that she was lying down, and His Highness was sitting not far away looking at her. She was taken aback and quickly got up, "Is Your Highness hungry? This slave—"
Ah, yes, she remembered, they had left the cabin.
The prince watched her expression become depressed and gloomy, his heart was really not bright, he could tell what was on his mind just by looking at his face. Then he ordered: "Come and serve me for dinner."
He should have eaten a long time ago, but Ah Chou didn't wake up and he lost his appetite. He's used to her taking care of him, and it feels awkward for others to do anything.
Ah Chou hurriedly got up and came to his side. Although he was on his way, the dishes on the chopping board were very delicate. Shang Yue knew that the prince was elegant, and even the dishes were well prepared. The prince stopped eating after using it for a while. He took a sip of tea and said to Ah Chou, "Eat it all."
"ah?"
"Ah what, I'll throw you down if I can't eat enough, I don't want you anymore."
As soon as Ah Chou heard this, she started to eat without further ado. The amount of food on the table was just right, which happened to make her full but not enough to last. She was a little choked when she swallowed the last mouthful of rice, someone handed her a cup of tea, she subconsciously took it and drank it down, then patted her chest. Then, he realized that His Highness was looking at him.
First shame, then remorse. She is too vulgar and has no temperament at all. It really humiliated His Highness. No wonder when people bullied her in the Prince's Mansion, they said that she was born with a low life and only deserved to do some low work.
She does... it is.
A Chou is resigned to her fate, she is content with being humble and light-hearted, and she is ashamed that she has dirty the prince's eyes. At this moment, there was a pain on her forehead, she covered her forehead and yelled, seeing the prince's cold eyes: "What are you thinking?"
"Your Highness, don't let the servants serve you by your side in the future, the servants are really..."
"Why, you don't want to serve me just after I brought you out?"
"No! That's not what I mean!" She hurriedly explained, not wanting His Highness to think that she was asking for a favor in return.
"That's it. In the future, you don't have to do anything except take care of me." The prince knocked on the window of the carriage to signal his subordinates to come in and clean up. "Okay, don't talk, come here."
Ah Chou leaned over according to his words, but he asked him to take a closer look. She moved a little closer and found that the posture of the two became a little awkward, as if she was sitting in His Highness's arms while he hugged her from behind.
strange.
"Don't move." Just as he was about to struggle, he was knocked on the head, and Ah Chou obediently didn't dare to move.
The prince nodded in satisfaction, and pointed to the book: "From today onwards, I will teach you how to read."
"???"
The prince straightened her head and turned to look at him, and said in a calm tone: "I also inevitably want to hear some stories like scripts, but I am too lazy to read or read them. You have to read them to me." Listen, it’s okay to be illiterate.” In fact, he had wanted to teach her a long time ago, but it was really inconvenient when he was in the mountains. Not to mention the difficulty of paper and pen, she was so tired every day to make a living, how could he be willing to ask her to learn to read.
It's different now, she will never endure hardships in the future, so there will be absolutely no harm in learning to read.
It's just... Ah Chou's learning ability is far beyond the prince's imagination. How should I put it, probably he is smarter than this girl when he just learned to speak. He obviously manages everything in the house in an orderly manner on weekdays, and he is smart and courageous in times of crisis. Why is his mind still closed? It's really hard to imagine how such a stupid girl rescued him and took good care of him for more than half a year.
Ah Chou was even more ashamed, she was really too slow to learn, it took a long time to learn even to hold a writing brush, but she was ashamed to say that she was so cheap that she didn't need to learn, because His Highness was never impatient, he was too patient, It's not at all like losing his temper with her every now and then.
After more than half a month of travel, they finally arrived at the place where the frontier army was stationed. Few people know that Marshal Wu Yan, who commanded an army of 700,000 in the frontier, belongs to the prince. He is magnanimous and wise, but he knows the truth of planning for rainy days. If he ascends the throne safely, then Wu Yan will become his most powerful general;
When he was about to arrive, the prince saw that Ah Chou's face was turning pale, so he pinched her ears and told her, "Go wherever I go, do you hear me?"
She nodded obediently, with a particularly painful look. During this period of time, there were only the two of them in the carriage, and the prince forbade her to cover her face any more, but she was very inferior, so he didn't want to force her, so he asked someone to prepare a delicate mask, which happened to cover her left side. A face with large birthmarks. Ah Chou liked it very much, and was overjoyed to wear it. Seeing her like this, the prince felt helpless and sometimes doted on her. "Let me make it clear with you first."
Hearing his serious tone, Ah Chou immediately sat upright: "Yes."
The prince wanted to laugh, so he held back: "In the future, you will no longer be a servant of the prince's mansion..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Ah Chou crying, his eyes seemed to say, Your Highness, don't you want a servant? That servant will never To cause trouble for His Highness. "You are my benefactor."
"ah?"
She is stupid again.
The prince couldn't help touching her hair, it was a bit dull, but it was dark and thick, he would raise her well, make her white and fat. "No one will know who you used to be. In the future, you can live unscrupulously. No matter what happens, there will be an orphan to support you. You are an lonely girl, remember?"
Ah Chou nodded blankly: "But... Your Highness doesn't want servants to serve you?"
"You are not allowed to call yourself a slave." The slender fingertips touched her lips that were about to speak, "You are not a slave."
So, what is that ugly? Besides being a slave, what else can Ah Chou do? She doesn't understand.
"You told me that you don't have a name." The prince smiled at her, "I also think that the word Ah Chou doesn't suit you, so I'll give you a name, do you think it's okay?"
How could Ah Chou be unhappy, as a slave, it is a great favor to be given a name by the master, she is a person without a name, everyone calls her A Chou because she is ugly, and now His Highness condescends After naming her, she was naturally overjoyed: "Okay."
"I don't even ask what it's called? If it's called a cat or a dog..."
"That's fine." She grinned happily at him, "It's good to have a name, you can call it anything."
It's just... stupid. The prince sighed softly, and wrapped her little hand in the palm of his hand, "Entering the Huai River, Qing Luo gradually becomes long, and the world has a taste of Qing Huan. Your name is Qing Huan."
Qing Huan blinked her eyes, she was still stupid, she didn't understand the meaning of this poem, nor did she understand the meaning of these two words, she only thought that what His Highness gave must be very good, so she nodded continuously: "Okay , that servant is called Qing Huan."
The prince smiled, "You are not allowed to call yourself a slave."
"That… "
He just laughed and didn't speak, and he didn't tell her what to call herself. Her most inferiority lies in her lack of a name, and in her inherently weird and ugly appearance. Everyone in the world loves to judge people by their appearance. Who would be willing to see how kind and gentle an ugly person is in his heart. Others hate her, despise her and bully her, but they don't know that she is his jewel in the eye, his salvation when he is on the verge of despair and in the trough of life.
He will not let anyone know her past, she will have a brand new identity, he will make everyone in the world envy her and respect her, and make all the strange eyes on her in this world disappear into nothingness.
When his leg is healed, when everything is settled, when he gets back what belongs to him, he will dedicate everything to her.
including himself.
Shang Yue now treats Qing Huan with respect, even though he doesn't know the girl's name until now. His Highness regards her so preciously that he even calls her in a low voice on weekdays. Could it be that his subordinate can scare others? However, after traveling for such a long time, Shang Yue realized one thing: how to treat His Highness, he must treat this ugly girl, otherwise no one can stand His Highness getting angry.
Isn't she just an ordinary woman who saved His Highness? What is there that is better than ordinary people that makes His Highness treat her differently? The most beautiful woman in the capital, the lady of the Prime Minister's family who is known as the beauty and fragrance of the country, has been in love with His Highness for many years, and His Highness has never treated her any differently than others.
