"This time, I'll let you choose first." The queen casually pushed the teacup forward, covering the water stains on the table.
"Hahaha... Then I will not be polite."
"This time we're playing for real. Don't let the water go on purpose, and I won't show mercy."
Cheng Yunyi got up, cupped his hands and said: "It is an honor to be able to play chess with the empress, I am looking forward to it, and I will leave."
Xiao Ting returned to the palace with the Ninth Prince, and the two parted ways, and one brought Yuchi Xinhan into the Jinghua Garden.
One was stopped by Yaya.
"Hey, why don't you take a good rest, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Ting was surprised that Yaya in the cold weather was standing at the gate waiting for her, what is the rush
"You have entered the palace, have you ever seen the emperor?"
Yaya was very curious, walking backwards, holding Xiao Ting's hand while asking her in surprise.
Xiao Ting tossed her hair and said proudly: "Of course, this time the emperor summoned me into the palace."
"Then when will you see him again, can the emperor avenge my parents?"
"revenge?"
"Yes, our whole village was killed by that bastard, and I want to avenge them."
When Yaya said this, her expression was very serious, not like a joke at all.
"You want revenge? Why are you looking for the emperor? He is very busy, and even if you go to him, he might not care about it?"
What era is this, who is the emperor, the head of a country, what he thinks and does is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Xiao Ting felt that, as the leader of the country, he must be a non-human being. Since both the Ninth Prince and Yuchi Xinhan knew about this, the emperor must know about it. If he didn't express it, then another arrangement was made.
So she told Yaya what she thought.
Yaya hung her head and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Then can the prince avenge me?" Yaya looked at Xiao Ting.
"Why do you need others to avenge your own revenge?"
After hearing this, Yaya turned around and left, Xiao Ting was a little puzzled, why did this child look so preoccupied.
Outside the Jinghua Garden, there was noise.
The Ninth Prince and Yuchi Xinhan were talking about something, when they heard the movement outside, they looked at Yuchi Xinhan.
Not long after, Yuchi's heart turned cold, and he said with a strange expression, "That girl wants to see you."
Ninth Prince thought for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Bring her in."
Although it wasn't the first time for Yaya to see the Ninth Prince, it was indeed the first time to seriously look at a creature like the Prince.
Last time, I had no scruples because I wanted to leave.
But this time...
She knelt down respectfully, then kowtowed three times, then raised her head and said, "The daughter of the people kowtows to the Ninth Prince."
"What do you want to see the king?"
The Ninth Prince glanced at her indifferently. This girl looked arrogant and inexplicable before, but now she is asking for something
"The daughter of the people wants to ask the prince to teach me, how can I avenge my parents and fellow villagers?"
"You want revenge?" Yuchi was surprised in surprise, such a young child, does he know what revenge is
Yaya does not live in a big family, she is just a child of an ordinary family, at a carefree age.
Ninth Prince said: "Why should I teach you?"
Yaya looked up at the Ninth Prince, her expression was a bit tangled, she finally gritted her teeth, and said: "If the prince agrees to the daughter of the people, the daughter of the people will swear allegiance to the princess to the death."
"Oh?" A smile overflowed from the corner of the Ninth Prince's mouth, Yuchi felt a little chilled seeing it, wondering what the Ninth Prince was going to do.
"My servant thank you for your grace."
"Go!"
During the conversation between Yaya and the Ninth Prince, Yuchi Xinhan was present the whole time, but he didn't understand what they were talking about.
It's like a chicken talking to a duck.
In the end, he still couldn't help asking Ninth Prince, who only gave him a vague answer.
"This girl is extraordinary," he said.
Yuchi was heartbroken and thought "hehe" again, but unfortunately he didn't dare.
Yaya entered the Lanyue Courtyard, saw Xiao Ting knelt down directly, "Servant Yaya pays homage to the princess."
At that time, Xiao Ting was chatting with Xiao Xin. After all, this kid is not young anymore, and she was wondering which way to let him go.
This time and space is no different from the students of her time, who only started to choose their future path in their teens, but the children here are different, they have to start studying civil and martial arts since they were young.
Otherwise, if the time comes, those who can't write well will be useless.
Xiao Xin wanted to choose essays, Chu Yun liked martial arts, and insisted that Xiao Xin go with her, but Xiao Xin didn't want to, because the two of them were having trouble with Mao Dun.
Yaya's kneeling frightened Xiao Ting quite a bit, and she stood up directly from the chair.
"Hey, hey, if you have something to say, don't just kneel down, I don't want to lose my life!"
Of course, this is just to say that kneeling on the ground is just a kind of awe pursued by the superiors, and has no other meaning.
But she still didn't like it very much.
Yaya raised her head suspiciously, but saw Lu Cai and Hong Shao were covering their mouths and snickering.
"Okay, get up, you can't bow down to the princess, you just need to remember the etiquette."
Lu Huo helped Yaya up, and then Xiao Ting sat on the teacher's chair and listened to Yaya's story.
"The prince asked you to be my girl?" Xiao Ting was a little puzzled, "But I have enough people around me."
Red Spoon and Green Weed are highly loyal and take care of everything properly, so she doesn't need another person to watch her.
"Actually, the prince saw that the servant had nowhere to go, so he kindly left the servant to the princess as a girl."
Xiao Ting turned her head to look at Green Weed and Red Spoon, "My lord, are you kind?"
Hong Shao and Lv Huo didn't dare to make arrangements for their masters, they lowered their heads and ignored their masters.
"The princess is unwilling to let the slaves stay?"
Yaya asked this question on purpose.
How could she not know what kind of person Xiao Ting was.
Sure enough, Xiao Ting stared immediately when she heard it, "When did this concubine say that? It's fine, you can be with the red spoon and the green weeds as companions from now on!"
At this moment, Chu Yun walked in, and Xiao Ting's eyes lit up instantly, "Little cutie, you are here, come here to show Wei Niang if you have grown up, why does it feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."
Xiao Ting felt happy when she saw the soft and arrogant little prince.
She looks like her eleventh child.
It's a pity that Xiao Shizi doesn't want to see her now, so he glared at her and said, "Get out of the way, I don't have time to talk to you."
"Heh..." Xiao Ting stretched out her hand to grab her, but she missed it, and when she raised her head again, Chu Yun had already fled to another place.
Chu Yun patted the dust that didn't exist on her body, and seeing Xiao Ting's eyes widen, she proudly gave Xiao Ting a small butt.
Then walk forward.
She came to find Xiao Xin.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Xin pouted, unwilling to look at her.
"Father is looking for you." Chu Yun also had an upturned nostril, and a discerning eye could tell that she was looking for Xiao Xin, but he was not forgiving.
Seeing her attitude, Xiao Xin got up and said in a very cold tone: "Excuse me, let me go."
Before Chu Yun could react, he had already walked forward with one hand behind his back.
Afterwards, Chu Yun also had an uncertain expression, and left without saying goodbye.
Lu Huo told the maids to pack up their things, and said, "Princess, you can just let them go on like this."
"Otherwise?" Xiao Ting also had a headache, she had never raised a child in her previous life, how could she know what these little ones were thinking.
He still holds grudges at such a young age, and when he gets awkward, he can't be coaxed well.
Really drunk.
Hong Shao suggested, "Princess, why don't you let the young master learn things with the son, so that when he grows up, he will have a care for him."
Xiao Ting knew what she meant, the decline of the Xiao family had become a fact, at this time Xiao Xin was still young, no one would say anything when he stayed in the palace, let alone he stayed here as Chu Yun's companion.
But if they are no longer the relationship between the master and the companion, when he grows up, he will leave the palace and will no longer be under the protection of the nine palaces.
At least on the bright side, he has no support.
It is of no benefit to his future.
But Xiao Ting believes that one should live freely in this world, Xiao Shi obviously does not want to learn martial arts at this time, how can she force it.
"No, let him choose what kind of life he likes, don't worry about it."
The implication is that Xiao Zhan and the old lady of the Xiao family are not allowed to interfere.
Yaya finds it strange that the people in the Ninth Palace are not like masters, and slaves are not like slaves.
Let's take the two little ones as an example, who is the son and who is the companion.
Why does she feel that the princess' younger brother is much more powerful than the legendary little prince.
Xiao Ting sat on the chair for a while, she didn't know what she was thinking, and fell asleep after a while.
Lu Huo waved her hand to signal them to go out, Hong Shao's face showed anxiety, and she obviously didn't want to leave, so she was dragged away by Lu Huo.
Closing the door and coming to the yard, Hong Shao said dissatisfiedly: "What are you pulling me for? The princess has been sleeping for too long recently, something is wrong."
Lu Hui said angrily: "There is a lot of heart, the prince has already explained to him, and the princess will report to him in time if there is any change, and you can't make up your own mind, have you forgotten?"
"That, that..."
"Then what, why don't you go soon?" Lu Hua glared at her.
After Hong Shao left, Lu Cai took Ya Ya to sit on the wooden bench under the corridor.
"My name is Lucao. I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me sister in the future, okay?"
Yaya nodded seriously, "I heard the princess mentioned you, saying that you are very powerful and know a lot of things."
"Listen to her nonsense, it's because our master doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and a girl has to have more snacks."
Yaya burst out laughing when she heard the words.
"Sister Luhuo is really bold, dare to tease the princess."
Lu Hui smiled and said: "Our princess is very easy to get along with. She doesn't have a heart and doesn't like to figure out people's hearts. She lives frankly."
Speaking of this, she changed her voice, "So, to work by her side, you can be smart or sinister, but there is one thing, these methods should not be used on her and the people and things she cares about. Do you understand what I said?"
"Thank you for your teaching, sister Luhuo, Yaya understands."
Although Yaya is small, she has long legs, so she is not much shorter than the others, she just looks a little immature.
"It's good to understand. If the prince asks you to work with the concubine, then you can rest assured 100%. Put aside any grudges and grudges in the future, and remember."
"Yaya knows."
"Okay, don't be so serious, I'll take you to get your clothes first!"
"Thank you, Sister Luhuo."
