Chapter 121 Brothers

Changyan ignored it and went to get the wood directly.

Following the princess is helpful. In the past, she had to talk and persuade to get some scraps.

But if you mention the name of princess, you will get rosewood.

Changyan had never even touched it before.

The lady handed it over attentively and asked, "What do you want to do, Your Highness?"

"Miss Changyan, do you need the Shanggong Bureau to be delivered to you after it's ready?"

Changyan shook his head and said, "Send me an assistant. His Highness wants a seat."

"Sit? There are some good seats here. I can get some for Your Highness right now. You don't have to do anything."

"It's not a support. Your Highness has come up with something new."

The lady immediately smiled and nodded to show her understanding.

After sending Chang Yan away, the apprentice ran up to her and asked, "Master, what new thing did Your Highness come up with?"

The lady patted her head and said, "Be careful what you say and do."

"It doesn't matter what the masters come up with."

"This is their fun, we just have to listen, give them something, and then record it."

The apprentice felt a little pained: "Such a good rosewood, which is worth a lot of our monthly salary, is being wasted like this?"

The lady patted her head again and said, "If you say that again, I will sew your mouth shut."

"What do you mean by waste? Even if His Highness takes it back and throws it away or burns it for fun, it's what he deserves."

"It doesn't matter if I become useless, as long as I can make my master smile, it's worth it."

"If anyone hears what you say, don't blame me for not being able to protect you."

Changyan walked in front, and two eunuchs followed behind her carrying wood.

She stretched out her hands and asked, "Is it very strenuous? Give me some tools to hold."

The eunuch immediately stepped back.

"I dare not. Miss Changyan's hands are used to serve Your Highness. How can she do rough work?"

"We'll just come."

Changyan no longer insisted.

On the way back, I passed by the servants' room where I used to live, and the door was pushed open.

They walked out and came face to face with Changyan.

Her former companions greeted her: "Hello, Miss Changyan."

His polite appearance gave no clue to what he was just talking about.

Changyan was suddenly distracted and asked, "I just heard you say that I am not worthy of being chosen by the princess?"

Several people's faces suddenly changed.

They had only been in the palace for a short time and had not yet learned to control their emotions, speak less and make fewer mistakes like the older palace maids.

One of them asked tremblingly, "Miss Changyan, we know we were wrong. Can you please not tell Shang Gong?"

Changyan suddenly remembered that as the eldest princess's personal female official, she could directly find the highest-ranking female official in the Shanggong Bureau.

From being a weirdo that everyone disliked, I suddenly got such a high position that I am still not used to smoking.

Since you can file a complaint, why not?

She left without saying anything, leaving a few people standing there in regret.

After returning, Changyan began to work on the things that His Highness had ordered.

The finished product came out and she tried to sit on it.

Make sure it is solid and will not cause any harm before handing it in.

Bei Jingchu received the little chair she had been waiting for and sat on it right away.

Comfortable~

Chairs are still better, much more comfortable than heel supports.

She can stretch her legs!

It's a bit uncomfortable to sit on your heels for a long time.

Bei Jingchu carried her little chair to the emperor like a treasure, but found that he was not in the study.

After asking, I found out that he went to the Buddhist temple.

But Aye is not a devout Buddhist, right?

Why go to the temple?

Bei Jingchu followed after him out of curiosity.

The emperor was lighting incense in the Buddhist temple when a young eunuch came in quietly and was pulled out by Eunuch Jiang.

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood. Didn't I tell you earlier? No one is allowed to disturb you at this time."

"Don't you want to live anymore?"

The eunuch said with a bitter face: "But the eldest princess is outside, I dare not stop Your Highness..."

Eunuch Jiang was silent for a moment, then praised: "You are very smart."

When Bei Jingchu walked into the Buddhist temple, the emperor was burning paper money.

The paper money was devoured by the flames in the copper stove and turned into ashes bit by bit, carrying the thoughts and hopes of the living.

I don’t know whether it will be delivered to my old friend.

Is this something that will really lead to hell, or is it a way for the living to make up for their past sins?

Bei Jingchu didn't know either.

There are two tablets, one for the eldest son and the other for the second son.

"Chu'er is here, come and meet your two brothers."

Two babies who were only mentioned briefly as background characters in the original novel and were killed by King Lu.

Bei Jingchu almost forgot about them.

But from the emperor's skilled movements of burning incense and paper, we can tell that although Aye did not mention it, he had never forgotten his two dead children.

He said in a deep voice: "I don't know if I am a good emperor, but I am definitely not a good father."

Because of his arrogance and his brotherly love for King Lu, his two sons died young.

In order to prevent the presence of foreign relatives and to avoid appointing a queen, he neglected to control the harem, which led to Chu'er being almost replaced and becoming displaced.

Bei Jingchu didn't know what he was worried about, so she said what was in her heart: "No, Chuchu thinks Aye is the best Aye in the world!"

【It’s just that sometimes it’s a bit dog-like. 】

The emperor chuckled.

"Yang was not good to you at first. I should have killed her after she gave birth to Yanyu."

"But I always think of your deceased brother. Yang was his biological mother."

“So I hope Chuchu will forgive Aye for his rare softness.”

After taking a deep breath, he spoke with great solemnity: "Chu'er, in the future, if you have any grudges with your brothers and sisters, I don't ask for anything else. I only hope that you can spare their lives."

Bei Jingchu replied in a daze: "Okay."

[Okay, why are you saying this? ]

[My brothers and sisters are so cute, why would I kill them? ]

[At most I spank them! ]

Listening to the child's tender and innocent voice, the emperor smiled bitterly.

Is it cute?

When he was young, he had a very good relationship with his brothers, and they were even very close.

They laughed and played together in Qianqiu Hall, were scolded by the teacher together in Hongwen Hall, and neither of them was willing to give in in the riding and archery competition.

The only worry in his youth was that he didn't understand why his mother didn't let him play more with his other brothers.

But he wouldn't listen, he would sneak out to find them.

Later I realized that my mother was right.

The shallower the feelings, the less heartache you will feel when you draw your sword against each other.

Unfortunately, it was too late, so he later became so tolerant of King Lu to make up for the brotherhood he had lost.

When he was young, the emperor also loved him.

But once the cute and weak wolf cubs grow up, grow sharp fangs, and want to occupy territory, what does childhood affection matter?

Especially when there is only one piece of land and one share of rights.

Even the Emperor was...

Bei Heng closed his eyes, unwilling to think about the past scenes.

And how much time of friendship and warmth is left for his children?

Bei Jingchu just felt that Aye's eyes were very complicated, and she didn't like being looked at like that.

It was as if he had penetrated through time and met someone who was destined to be lonely.
