Chapter 129: The Tragic Queen vs. the Deeply Affectionate Emperor (3)
Lord Ma Jia's Mansion.
"Here, this is a kaleidoscope. You can turn it and it will create a new picture. You can play with it for a long time."
"This is Western glass. It will reflect light under the sun. But if you shine it into your eyes under the scorching sun, your eyes will be burned."
"This is a concave-convex mirror. If you put it under the sun for a long time, it will make the ground warm."
"This is what I found at the antique market. Um, a telescope. It can see very far away."
"And this, this, this, these are all kinds of interesting Western toys I found. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
Shi Yizhi piled them all in front of the little emperor.
The little emperor saw that his cousin had generously taken out all the Western toys and asked, "Are you really willing to give them away?"
These things looked new. She must have taken good care of them on weekdays, but now she gave them all to him. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
"You are my lifesaver. As long as you want it, as long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you." Shi Yi handed him the telescope, "Look, see if I am lying to you."
The little emperor was shocked by her words "As long as you want it, as long as I have it", and was speechless for a while. Holding the telescope in his hand, he had no idea how to move.
In fact, the only Western thing he had seen here today was the glass, which he had played with before.
"Hold it like this, put it in front of your eyes, and then look at it normally, and you can see it." Shi Yi helped him directly.
"But it's pitch black in front of my eyes, and I can't see anything?" The little emperor asked.
"Ah, you have to put your sights on the place you want to see, such as a little further away." Shi Yi raised the telescope slightly, "You try it now?"
The little emperor happened to see the two guards outside the gate sleeping lazily, and laughed, "Sure enough, I saw it, sure enough."
"There are many magical things about this mirror, you can go back and study it slowly." Shi Yi took the telescope down for him, "Drink some water and take a break first."
"What do you usually play with?" The little emperor asked.
"Reading, riding, archery, embroidery, playing the piano, playing chess" Shi Yi was a little frustrated, "Unfortunately, none of them are what I like."
"Then what do you like?" The little emperor's eyes lit up.
It turns out that the life of the little cousin is as miserable as his. She has to learn everything, but she doesn't like anything.
"I can't say, anyway, it's not these." Shi Yi stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant on his waist, "I just want to be free and not be restrained."
The little emperor also became depressed. Because he and his cousin were in exactly the same situation, wanting freedom but not being able to get it.
Inner room.
Ma Jia held the tea bowl with a cold look, "As the eldest maid beside the young lady, when the young lady was in trouble, you actually ran away alone and abandoned the young lady?"
When she heard the oral accounts of others, she could imagine the dangerous situation her only daughter was in at the time. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the little emperor today, her baby who had been raised for twelve years would have died just like this. How can she, as a mother, live!
Jinzi was kneeling on the broken porcelain slag that had already pierced her flesh and blood. She cried and said, "Madam, Jinzi will never dare to do it again next time!"
"You still expect it next time!" Ma Jia was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand. "Now I can't keep you. Aunt Wu La, you must deal with it yourself!"
"Madam, spare me..." Jinzi was about to shout to attract the young lady's attention.
"Yes." Aunt Wu La quickly covered Jinzi's mouth with a handkerchief.
"You are about to die, and you still want to harm my daughter's reputation." Ma Jia's eyes were full of hatred. "I have long seen that you are dissatisfied with me, Ma Jia, but I didn't touch you because I was afraid that you would be sad. If I had known, I would have strangled you to death when you were born."
Jinzi's eyes widened with resentment and wanted to struggle, but Aunt Wu La held her tightly and couldn't move at all.
"Seventeen years ago, your mother climbed into the drunken master's bed with the title of a maid in the study and gave birth to you, this bastard. Do you think you can be on an equal footing with my Shi'er? It's a joke!" Seeing her unwilling look, Ma Jiashi calmed down, "Everything you did today is enough to make the master disappointed in you. I didn't want to care about the daughter of a mere lowly maid. But who knew that you would actually want to kill my Shi'er."
Jinzi lowered her head, already dead, and Aunt Wula dragged her body out.
She saw that her lady had been in charge of the family for more than 30 years, and this was the first time she was so angry. She knew that Jinzi's escape alone this time really touched the master's reverse scale.
And the coachmen who carried the sedan chair were privately dealt with by the guards in the mansion early.
Disloyal slaves have no value in survival.
When Lord Ma Jia heard that his precious daughter was almost in trouble, he hurried back from the office.
Seeing the little emperor with his daughter, although he had some doubts in his heart, he was more mindful of the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and quickly knelt down to salute, "Long live the emperor."
In front of his cousin, how could the little emperor not give face? He personally helped him up, "Uncle, you are too polite. We are just relatives. I am your nephew. There is no need for so many etiquette."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving Shi Yi." Lord Ma Jia was a little moved, "Her mother and I have only this one daughter. If anything happens to her, neither of us will survive."
"Uncle, don't be sad. My cousin and I are standing here. Everything is fine." The little emperor patted Shi Yi on the shoulder, "Why don't you go and comfort your uncle?"
"Father, I'm fine." Shi Yi walked over and grabbed his father's sleeve, "But my cousin, in order to save me, was almost trampled under the horse's hooves."
"Your Majesty is so righteous. I will definitely go through fire and water in the future." Lord Ma Jia knelt again.
The life of his precious daughter was saved by the little emperor. Although he had looked down on the little emperor before, he could not be without conscience now that he had saved his precious daughter.
"Uncle is being polite again." The little emperor had never expected that his sudden action would lead to such a generous and righteous cousin's family.
In the past, he always avoided the relatives of the Empress Dowager, and sometimes he didn't look happy when he ran into them in the harem.
When he was in the court, he thought that Lord Ma Jia was pedantic and conservative, and never thought that he was such a sentimental person.
He suddenly realized his narrow-mindedness and prejudice.
Lord Ma Jia certainly didn't expect that because of his unintentional behavior today, he would become the most trusted and favored minister in the history of Darong.
The butterfly's wings have begun to flutter gently.
