Tang Shiyue was helped up, then she thanked him, sat down and waited.
Emperor Ming Yan looked at her with a smile.
Normally when she wore men's clothes, she looked very imposing and that looked okay, but now that she was wearing the imperial robes and a head full of jewels, she looked very thin and small, like a child who had stolen adult clothes.
She sat there, her posture upright yet alert, like a kitten with its ears pricked up.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "He's still too thin." He said to Gu Jiuxing, "Find a eunuch who can make medicinal food..."
Gu Jiuxing responded quickly.
Emperor Ming Yan looked sideways and saw that the young lady was blinking, obviously she had recognized his voice. Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said, "You are quite brave, why do you keep your head down? Raise your head."
Tang Shiyue looked up, then was "shocked", staring at him with wide eyes.
Emperor Ming Yan satisfied his evil taste and said with a smile: "Are you surprised?"
Tang Shiyue lowered her head quickly, and Emperor Mingyan asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
...
...
She grumbled, "I didn't think anything."
Gu Jiuxing's voice was actually somewhat helpless: "County Lord, when you answer, you must say, "Reply to the Emperor."
Tang Shiyue: “Oh!”
Gu Jiuxing: “…”
Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "I forgive you for your innocence. Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Your Majesty, I am thinking of two things. First, when I met you before, I didn't say anything that I shouldn't have said, right?"
Emperor Ming Yan put down his teacup and glanced at her: "What's the conclusion?"
"Your Majesty, I don't think I said anything that I shouldn't have said. The most important thing is that I didn't forget to report it. My performance was simply perfect." She was very happy.
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
Gu Jiuxing smiled awkwardly and didn't want to remind her that she couldn't say "I". He had figured out that this person couldn't be treated like an ordinary person!
Emperor Ming Yan's mood can be described by a phrase from later generations: "There are too many troughs to say anything." He held his forehead for a long time and gave up arguing with her: "What's the second thing?"
Tang Shiyue's face darkened, "I'll beat up Meng Yiqiu when I get back."
"Why?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I am so fooled... He actually said..."
She swallowed it, but Emperor Ming Yan already knew what she said. Meng Yiqiu said that he looked like the prince.
In fact, Emperor Ming Yan had thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the crown prince was gentle and elegant, more like the late empress. One had a thick face and the other had a fair face. Judging from their looks alone, they were completely alike.
No wonder! Emperor Ming Yan laughed repeatedly.
Ever since he thought there was that possibility, Emperor Ming Yan began to like her more and more.
After all, Emperor Ming Yan was a romantic, and the child he had with the woman he loved most was naturally different. The sudden end of the relationship back then, and the recovery of the lost and found now, naturally aroused his fatherly love that he could not suppress.
Now all that's left is a confirmation.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said, "You have been wronged this time. Don't worry, I have already issued an edict to reprimand them." He paused and said, "When are you going to present the watermelon to me?"
"Your Majesty, please arrange it," Tang Shiyue said, "Anyway, the watermelons are there. I asked someone to count them yesterday. If we want to pick them tomorrow, there will be about 350 to 360 ripe ones."
Emperor Mingyan smiled and nodded: "Write down the method and give it to Gu Jiuxing."
Tang Shiyue responded, and Emperor Mingyan said again: "Enfu has made great contributions, how do you want me to reward you?"
Tang Shiyue thought about it, then turned around and knelt down.
Emperor Mingyan sighed: "What do you want from me?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I want the emperor to take Jia Shiyi back. I don't want him."
"Oh?" Emperor Mingyan asked, "Why?"
Tang Shiyue said confidently: "I don't like him, and I took my anger out on him because the lynx died."
Emperor Ming Yan sighed: "You get up first." He asked Gu Jiuxing to help her up, gestured to him, and said: "If I say that if you don't want him, I will execute him, do you still insist?"
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is not my place to interfere with how he is dealt with."
Emperor Mingyan asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Shiyue said, "Although I am a young woman with little experience, I also know that Dayan has sixteen guards in the South Court and six armies in the North Court. Among so many people, only the Dragon Guard is managed by Your Majesty. Therefore, such an elite team must have its own discipline and its own reward and punishment system. What is his fault, what mistakes he made, and how to punish him, all depends on the rules. I have no right to interfere."
This young lady is really clear-headed.
Emperor Mingyan said gently, "Let's put it this way. Ding Jiu had more than thirty people under his command before, and now there are still more than twenty of them in Chang'an. In addition, Jia Shiyi also has more than thirty people under his command. I will give you which of these two groups of people you want, okay?"
Tang Shiyue thought about it and said, "Can't I not want it?"
Emperor Ming Yan's face was stern: "No."
She looked at him and said, "Oh, it must be those people from Jiashiyi."
"Why?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Ding Jiu is injured and his Kung Fu cannot be fully restored. I think he probably doesn't want his former brothers to see him like this, at least not now. And the rest of Jia Shiyi are just following orders. It's not wrong to obey orders. I think we can give them this opportunity."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded slightly.
She really treats this young lady as her own and protects her wholeheartedly.
Emperor Ming Yan raised his hand, and several people quickly came in and knelt on the ground.
"Did you hear everything?" Emperor Ming Yan said coldly, "Since the county lord wants you, your heads will be temporarily on your necks. From today on, if you fail to protect me, you don't have to return to Chang'an. You can just commit suicide on the spot!"
The sixteen men all fell to the ground and obeyed.
Emperor Mingyan said gently: "I will give you two more maids, who know some basic skills. It will be more convenient for them to take care of you."
Tang Shiyue blinked in surprise.
Isn't the look in Emperor Ming Yan's eyes too kind? Isn't this favor too much?
Tang Shiyue stammered, "Your Majesty, you've been so good to me. I don't have anything to give you. I feel a little ashamed. How about you stop giving me a maidservant?"
Emperor Mingyan laughed: "There are many mediocre people in this world who have nothing to lose. You have made great contributions to the world. I only gave you a few people. Do you deserve it?"
In short, the atmosphere of the talks was extremely harmonious... Emperor Ming Yan looked at her with such warmth that she wanted to cry.
In the end, Tang Shiyue took the two girls back home.
I don't know if these people have studied her preferences. These two girls are both ordinary-looking but well-behaved. They are also very straightforward and know kung fu.
After asking around, Tang Shiyue decided to name the one with dimples Wei Xin and the other Wei Bo.
Quietly commemorating what she once had but did not cherish well...those who understand will understand.
I remember that Huo Qijing had said that he had prepared a maid for her, and Qing Weilai had asked some time ago whether he should ask her to come over...but there is no need for her now.
Wei Xin and Wei Bo went out to have a simple handover with Ding Xiaoyan. The man in black came into the room and knelt down: "Master, I am the new Jia Eleven."
Tang Shiyue asked: "Where is Jia Eleven?"
The man in black paused and said, "Executed."
Tang Shiyue froze for a moment, and the man in black said softly, "Master, don't worry. He was executed before the emperor summoned you to see him."
Oh? Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows.
He said this to show his loyalty, and he knew that he was clear-headed when he said this.
She nodded and said, "Then don't call yourself Jia Shiyi anymore. You can't die without even a name... How about you call yourself Jia He? Let's try to get along well. Harmony brings wealth."
"Yes," Jiahe bowed his head respectfully: "Jiahe thanks the master for giving me the name."
Tang Shiyue thought about it and called Ding Jiu again: "How about we buy the house next door? I don't want to move, but I can't live there now!"
Ding Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Since we live so close to Lady Fu, they won't sell it. Why don't we buy the mountain behind and build it ourselves?"
Tang Shiyue thought the same thing and said, "Then after the emperor leaves, we can build it ourselves."
