The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

"No... I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well the past two days." Xue Yao tried his best to remain calm, lowered his head, and took two deep breaths.

Lu Jin'an nodded, and looked down at the ox horn bow in doubt: "Why did Lao Qi give you this bow? Can you bow?"

"I will practice hard!" Xue Yao raised his head and replied nervously, for fear that Lu Jinan would find an excuse to take back the bow.

Lu Jinan asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you today? You were surprised for a while, because you were afraid that I would take back this bow?"

"No!" Lu Jin'an didn't say anything, Xue Yao hadn't discovered his desire to protect food.

Feeling guilty, he straightened his waist and said firmly: "This bow is yours, and you can take it back anytime you need it."

"Then I'll take it away." Lu Jinan said seriously.

"Ah?!" Xue Yao said in surprise, "Do you... still need it?"

"What? Don't want to give it?"

"Of course not..." Xue Yao looked eagerly at the bow in Lu Jinan's hand, and made an excuse pettyly: "This bow has not been maintained for several years. Find you a new one..."

Lu Jinan sneered, and handed the bow back to him, "It's not too bad, Old Qi Sapo insisted on my favorite bow. Since he gave it to you, you should at least wipe it clean and wax it regularly. Take the strings off, and see what a waste it has become."

Xue Yao took the bow, held it in his arms like a baby, and bowed his head in shame to plead guilty: "It was my negligence, please punish me, Your Highness."

"Punish you?" Lu Jin'an smiled helplessly: "Lao Qi has to roll all the way from the palace to my house, and what's going to be a 'man's duel', this king is terrified to death."

Xue Yao laughed "puchi" and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Lao Qi really treats you differently than he treats us brothers." Lu Jinan sighed.

"That's natural." Xue Yao concealed with guilt: "You are His Highness's most beloved elder brother, and I am just His Highness's playmate."

"That is also a unique playmate." Lu Jinan looked at Xue Yao and said seriously: "Lao Qi was withdrawn and surly since he was a child. Fortunately, he met you who are also eccentric."

Xue Yao asked in surprise, "What am I to blame?"

Lu Jinan pursed his lips and smiled: "There are so many strange things, you can't feel it yourself."

Xue Yao asked curiously, "I beg your Highness to clarify."

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows and said, "Your strangeness is indescribable. You just feel that you are different from the other people serving in the palace. Didn't you notice it? With all those accompanying readers, you and my younger brothers are the only ones who have become buddies. Why? ? You seem to be born with a lack of servility, and you seem to be respectful to us, but in your heart, you don't treat us as masters at all."

Xue Yao's face changed, and just as he was about to explain, Lu Jinan raised his hand to reassure him: "I don't mean to blame you, I think it's very rare for you to have such a temper.

The slave’s eyes are always looking up at us, unable to see through many things, but you always dare to look directly at us, can help us see many problems, even occasionally look down on us, and dare to point out mistakes when you see them, your heart is always at the top. Clean.

Xue Yao, I'm not afraid to tell you, in the past, I think you are talented and capable, but it's a pity that you have no ambitions.But over the past year or so, I have personally handled government affairs, which made me see through many things that I have not seen for more than 20 years. It also made me realize that there are too few people in this world who are as pure as you, maybe only the seventh brother. Only with pure eyes can you feel your rareness from the very beginning. "

Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said humbly: "Your Highness is really overrated, Xue is indeed an ordinary citizen with no ambitions."

Lu Jin'an smiled and shook his head: "I hope you will keep this original intention, assist and take good care of the future emperor for a long time."

After Lu Jinan left, Xue Yao thought about this sentence repeatedly.

Is Prince Rui praising him, or is he warning him not to be tempted?

He really didn't know what to do. He only blamed himself for revealing too many details in order to save Lu Jin'an. Now that he was reminded, they were all linked together. Lu Jin'an would definitely be found to be different from ordinary people.

Xue Yao sat in the upper room thinking blankly until the sunset.

When Zhou Rui entered the door, she asked him suspiciously: "Brother Yao, what are you doing holding that bow?"

Only then did Xue Yao regain his senses, lowered his head and wiped the wall of the bow with his sleeve, and replied in a low voice that the bow needed to be repaired, then got up and took the bow to the backyard and returned to his room.

It turns out that the degree of concern for a gift also depends on the person who gave it, and this bow will live the same on this day.

Xue Yao had never discovered that this bow had such a unique shape and such a stable color, and it was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it.

Every tiny scratch on the bow arm will make Xue Yao frown slightly, and rub it with his fingertips in distress.

Therefore, to say that something is ugly or handsome is due to a certain thought in the heart.

Lu Qian's appearance in his heart is not the same as his handsome appearance when he was a child, and it is also his heart that is at work.

Xue Yao had to admit that he did have that kind of affection for that little man.

He's screwed.

Tonight was a sleepless night as usual, Xue Yao hadn't figured out how to face this terrible fact, so he decided not to face it for the time being, and went to the palace to ask for leave early in the morning.

I took three days off.

He asked for leave, and King Ning always allowed it, so the manager of the office could just register with a smile, without asking the master first.

Staying in the mansion for three days in a row inevitably caused my grandfather and mother to worry.

Grandpa thought that Xue Yao committed a crime in the palace and was driven back by King Ning.

After all, no one would have imagined that the prince's little companion was not sick or in trouble, and he could skip work as long as he skipped work, probably because he was tired of work.

Others felt that Xue Yao must have been kicked out of the palace, not because he refused to enter the palace, so grandpa and mother didn't want to add insult to injury. For two days in a row, they inquired about the situation on the sidelines.

Seeing Xue Yao listless and vague, they guessed that King Ning must be angry this time.

The child has grown up so much, it is the first time he "falls out of favor", and he still feels very uncomfortable. Zhou Rui is very distressed, and tries to find some delicious food for his son to appetize, but the son is always listless and can't eat .

In order to cheer up her son, Zhou Rui forced her son to go out to relax at night, saying that she was going to watch the fireworks in the west of the city.

Xue Yao, who hadn't seen the cub for three days, was about to turn into a walking corpse, confused and didn't know what his mother said, so he was led out of the house like a puppy.

The fireworks and children's cheers along the way did not bring Xue Yao back to his soul, and all the excitement would only make him feel more lonely.

Loneliness turned out to be so harsh that he couldn't bear it.

In a daze, he followed his mother and maid to a crowded place.

This is a lively market on the riverside, with bright lights and children playing and running.

Standing along the bank of the river are bamboo poles, and between the bamboo poles, rows of hemp ropes are tied. Each hemp rope is tied with a piece of wooden signboard, and various good wishes are written on the wooden signboard.

It is said that after the fireworks ceremony is over, the water god will come to collect wishes, and all sincere wishes will be fulfilled.

Xue Yao thought to himself that the water god was really idle.

Zhou Rui asked her son to buy three brands at a nearby stall to increase the workload of the water god.

Xue Yao obediently followed his mother's instructions to buy brands, and when he learned that making a wish was only ten cents, he couldn't help but feel that the water god is really cheap labor.

Turning around and looking behind, from south to north, the wishing cards hung all over the ground turned into a wishing wall, with no end in sight.

After getting the sign, Zhou Rui had to queue up to ask her husband to help write the wish. Xue Yao said that we can write it ourselves with the pen and ink.

The literacy rate of the common people is low these days, so people line up in long queues at such times.

It's not that Xue Yao can't write, so he doesn't need to ask his mother to make a wish, just like waiting for a train ticket for the Spring Festival travel.

But Zhou Rui refused. She felt that the water god would only read the wish card written by her husband. If she didn't line up, she was not sincere.

Helpless, Xue Yao wanted to take the sign from his mother and line up for her for the few kilometers, but Zhou Rui pushed him aside with a smile, saying that you guys have such a good temper, go to the bridge to watch the fireworks, Mother and Tweety just line up here.

Xue Yao was sent away just like that, but he didn't go on the bridge, and walked along the bank of the river like a wandering soul, reading the wishing cards one after another.

Wishes are all pleasing to the eye, such as "Wish my parents live longer than Nanshan", "Wish to be with my younger sister forever and ever", and I can't find the kind of wish cards like "Wish to make money next year".

The Wall of Wishes has two sides. Xue Yao's side is close to the river and there are many people, but the opposite side is very clean. Xue Yao wants to go around the end and go to the other side to pass the time.

A bamboo pole was connected to a bamboo pole, and there was no gap that could be bypassed. He just walked southward like this, and the number of wishing cards on the rope became less and less. From time to time, a few wishes would leak out. Sign gap.

This made Xue Yao realize that there was someone looking at the sign on the other side of the wishing wall.

The man was half a head taller than him, and the gap between the wishing card just exposed the man's sword eyebrows. Xue Yao was absent-minded, even though he noticed the familiarity, he didn't think too much, and continued to walk southward in a loose manner.

After walking a few steps, two wishing cards were missing from the rope above his head, so the pair of brown eyes of the man opposite finally flashed past Xue Yao clearly.

Xue Yao was so frightened that he almost died on the spot!

He recognized it, the guy opposite was his rebellious cub.

From just now to now, across the wishing wall, Lu Qian has been with him across the wall, silently.

How could this kid appear here?

Actually, he quietly hid behind the sign and followed him all the time. Didn't the rebellious cubs see his distraught appearance just now?

Xue Yao's ears were a little hot. Fortunately, a group of children with candied haws whizzed by at this time. Xue Yao took the opportunity to move away a few steps, stopped looking at the wishing card, and pretended not to see Lu Qian.

Of course, he was still watching from the corner of his eye, the gaps in the wishing card were enough for him to piece together a complete rebellious cub——

Wearing a purple shirt, Yushu Linfeng's rebellious cub walked south at the same speed as him across a wishing wall.

Not long after, Xue Yao noticed that not far south, he reached the end of the wishing wall.

That is the destination where Lu Qian can get rid of this wall and meet his companion.

Xue Yao stopped in his tracks, planning in his mind how to subtly pretend to be attracted by the fireworks, so he turned and walked on the bridge to the west, refusing to meet the cub.

However, as soon as he had such an evil thought, he heard a low, warning voice of a rebellious cub through the wishing wall: "Keep going south."

"Ahhh! These kids are so noisy!" Xue Yao pretended not to hear with his lame acting skills, and turned around forcefully to ignore the rebellious kid.

"Yaoyao." The voice was fiercer than ever before.

Xue Yao glanced in the direction of the voice, and found that Lu Qian had pulled down the wishing rope with one hand, revealing the upper half of his handsome face.

That pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling had already locked Xue Yao, and those eyes clearly said: "If you dare to escape, you will die."

Xue Yao heard the girls' discussions around him, turned around and saw that a group of girls visiting the fireworks show had already stopped together, pointing at the man with half of his face on the other side of the wishing wall——

"It seems to be the son who danced the sword on the roof that day..."

"Really him?"

"The height is the same, it must be right."

……

With an idea, Xue Yao turned around and whispered to the girls, "It's him, he came to look for you."

The girls' eyes lit up immediately, and they hurriedly straightened their buns, rushing towards the young man in purple!

Xue Yao took the opportunity to turn and run in the opposite direction!

"distant?"

"distant."

Although the rebellious cub's voice became fiercer every time, Xue Yao pretended not to hear it!

The girls tugged on the wishing rope and excitedly struck up a conversation with the man opposite.

Lu Qian's eyes followed his little companion's reading, his long eyelashes blocked the gorgeous lights, the upper half of his shallow pupils were shadowed, and the lower half was as clear and translucent as melting gold.

The girls were all dumbfounded, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so that Xue Yao clearly heard someone's footsteps quickly following from the other side of the wishing wall.

"Stand still." Lu Qian, who was reading alongside his little companion through the wall, issued a final warning.

Although he didn't have the advantage in speed, the rebellious cub was blocked by the wall and couldn't catch him, so Xue Yao ran away!

Seeing that the companion was not obedient, Lu Qian's eyes flashed, he jumped short, his toes flew over the hemp rope on the top of the wishing wall, and landed directly in front of the companion in an instant.

Xue Yao, who hadn't reacted yet, lowered his head and went on a rampage. He hit Lu Qian's chest with his head, was bounced back a few steps, and raised his head in surprise.

Lu Qian stared at him with his head tilted, approached lazily, lowered his head to meet his gaze, and his little companion's flustered expression was reflected in his light pupils.

"Isn't Yaoyao sick and bedridden? I see sparks on the soles of your shoes from running."

"...Why does Your Highness have the leisure to go to the fireworks show?" Xue Yao avoided the important point and changed the subject.

"Following you."

"Ah? How does Your Highness know that I'm coming to the night market today?"

Of course I know, Lu Qian was guarding at the door of my friend's house early in the morning.

Xue Yao felt guilty when she heard the girls' whispers behind her, and raised her head to ask Lu Qian not to settle accounts with him in front of so many people: "Your Highness, let's go to the bridge to watch the fireworks?"

Lu Qian didn't answer, and squinted at the little companion who claimed to be sick and cheated and tried to escape.

Xue Yao begged in a low voice: "Is it okay? Master Qi..."

In order to escape the crime, Xue Yao didn't care about the dignity of his old father, and called the little boy his father!

Lu Qian's thin lips pursed into a straight line, obviously pleased by the "Qi Ye", so he turned around magnanimously, read side by side with his little companion, and raised his chin towards the arch bridge: "Go. "

Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently followed Lu Qian towards the bridge.

There was a man and a woman walking in front of them.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the man bent over and took the woman's hand.

The rebellious cub immediately turned to look at his little companion.

Xue Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly put his hands into his sleeves to prevent Lu Qian from catching him, and said with emotion: "It's so cold tonight!"

Lu Qian looked sideways at the side face of his little companion who became more and more guilty, and then stopped with his long legs.

Xue Yao originally wanted to pretend nothing happened, but he didn't dare to completely ignore Lu Qian, so he stopped and looked up at the fireworks with his hands folded: "It's so beautiful..."

Lu Qian watched him quietly, slowly raised a hand, reached into Xue Yao's sleeve, and grabbed his shy and hidden hand.

Xue Yao's hand hidden in the sleeve was firmly grasped by a warm hand, slowly took out the sleeve, and was lifted up.

Xue Yao's heartbeat started to speed up.

Watching Lu Qian lower his head, hold his little companion's hand to his lips, and let out a soft breath.

His long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his eyes just fell on Xue Yao's hands. His expression was so focused that Xue Yao lost his mind.

Lu Qian's breath made Xue Yao itch, and the temperature made him feel hot, until it reached his heart.

My heart was beating wildly.
