"Your Highness, the matter of riding a horse is not in a hurry." Xue Yao knew that this topic could not continue. If the little fat man was really interested, he would not be able to take the young prince to ride a horse without authorization.

If things go on like this, the Seventh Prince will be offended even more, so he quickly changed the subject: "Riding a real horse is no different from a wooden horse. Do you like gadgets that fly in the sky? It just happens to be the season for flying kites recently, and the villain is lucky to be in... "

The Seventh Prince interrupted him impatiently, raised his hands in the gesture of pulling the rein, his small body began to upturn on the grand master's chair, and accompanied his movements: "Drive! Drive! Drive... Ma Ma drive!"

Xue Yao's face turned pale, and he had already seen the little guy's eagerness to ride a horse. Knowing that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, he immediately took a step back, and forced to misunderstand His Highness's meaning, saying: "The villain understands that within three days, His Highness's wooden horse must be repaired. Return it as it is!"

"Uh...uh..." The Seventh Prince stopped riding his horse and stretched out his chubby hand, trying to call Xue Yao back and explain what he meant.

Your Highness wants to ride a real horse!

But the Seventh Prince is young after all, although his memory is against the sky, he is only good at repeating other people's words, but it is not smooth to express his own meaning.

What's more, he was in a hurry to ride the horse at the moment, seeing that the boy "misunderstood" his meaning, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

How dare Xue Yao wait for the cub of Long Aotian to give an order, turned his head in a hurry, bowed his hands to the maid and said, "Please trouble me to show you the way, the little one will move the wooden horse to repair it, it will take three days at most, and it will definitely be repaired." Return it as it is!"

The maid of honor is the seventh prince's personal maid, and others respectfully call her "Aunt Yiqiu".

Yiqiu had a sneer on his face at the moment, thinking that the child looked less than ten years old, but his mind was alert.

She could see it clearly from the side, and she also knew Xue Yao's little thoughts.

Now that the Seventh Prince wanted to ride a horse, Yi Qiu really wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Xue Yao for a while, whoever called the Third Prince and his followers had the guts to tease and humiliate her little master like this!

Therefore, Yiqiu smiled unhurriedly: "The wooden horse has fallen. If you take it to repair it, you have to glue it together. There will be cracks when you glue it together. How can you return it as it is? I see you are deceiving us." My little master is young, so he won't be so perfunctory!"

Xue Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, aunt, the villain has already discussed with his friends in the inner court, not only will the wooden horse be glued and repaired, but also a fresh coat of paint, so there must be no trace of cracks. "

Yiqiu still had a gloomy face: "If you can't see it, it doesn't mean you don't have it."

At this time, the Seventh Prince, who had been holding back for a long time, finally expressed his wish: "Don't want a small wooden horse, I want to ride a big horse!"

Xue Yao was originally in a nervous mood, but was amused by the little fat man's "Master". The three-year-old doll called himself "Master", which was a bit of a silly and cute feeling against harmony.

When Yi Qiu heard that His Highness's request was to make things difficult for Xue Yao, she immediately stood on the sidelines and stared at Xue Yao with a sneer.

Xue Yao saw that the court lady was deliberately embarrassing herself, lowered her head, her eyes rolled slightly, raised her head and bowed her hands calmly to His Royal Highness: "Your Highness wants to ride a real horse, and the villain should take care of it. The horse can be borrowed from the Third Prince. Ready-made, just wait for my aunt to arrange for His Highness to spare time, and the villain is waiting for you at any time."

Yi Qiu was startled when he heard the words, and scolded without hesitation: "Bold! Your Highness is young, how can you ride a horse? If something happens, can you bear it!"

Xue Yao took his time and looked at the maid with a smile on his face: "I broke His Highness's wooden horse before, and I must die. Now His Highness gives me a chance to make up for it. You can win the favor of His Highness, and the rules are not up to you?"

The Seventh Prince turned his head, his expectant gaze shifted to Yiqiu.

Yiqiu's face turned pale in an instant, she didn't expect that a person in her 20s would be slapped by this eight-year-old child!

If Xue Yao can't coax the Seventh Prince well, he will be disqualified from serving as a student. Anyway, it is impossible to promise the Seventh Prince to ride a horse. He is not afraid of boiling water now, so he throws the pot away and pretends to agree. How can she watch a good show?

Although Yiqiu was in a hurry, she didn't turn her face.

She grew up with the Seventh Prince, and she knows better than anyone else that this little guy is different from other children, not only has an amazing memory, but also...

In short, in front of the little master, she must always maintain a gentle and virtuous posture, and she must not show any ugliness.

Although she really wanted to mess with the third prince's attendant, but at the moment she was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. If Xue Yao further promised the seventh prince that he would ride a horse and said that the decision was hers, then in the end She is the only one who is a villain.

She couldn't afford it because she couldn't afford it, her face changed, she put on a smiling face, bent over to hug the Seventh Prince, and said with a smile: "What time is it? Is Your Highness hungry? Can this slave take His Highness to find a nanny?"

Although the seventh prince was hungry, he wanted to ride a horse. He raised his chubby finger and pointed at Xue Yao, intending to ask him to say something, but His Highness couldn't express it.

You can never ride a real horse. Before Xue Yao could speak, Yi Qiu took the initiative to smooth things over for him, turned around and ordered the little eunuch to take Xue Yao to take away the wooden horse, and then coaxed the Seventh Prince to say: "That fellow said, it will be repaired within three days." Trojan horse, His Highness will be able to drive it tomorrow!"

Xue Yao went down the donkey, and before the Seventh Prince could respond, he turned around and followed the little eunuch and slipped away. When he stepped out of the threshold of the flower hall, he heard the Seventh Prince's milky voice from behind him and scolded angrily: "Follow me!"

Xue Yao ran away like a jerk!

This trip to apologize, the effect is not ideal.

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince's vengeance was not that the Trojan horse was damaged, but that Xue Yao had no faith in his words.

Presumably, the cub Long Aotian looked at his wooden horse with its ears and tail broken, and felt very depressed, but after thinking about it, he realized that riding a real horse must be more fun, so he waited every day for Xue Yao, who had made a promise, to come and take him Ride a real horse.

He has a good memory, can't forget it, and really wants to ride a horse. This cub has been thinking about it for several years, and it eventually turned into a deep hatred!

But what can Xue Yao do?

Not to mention that it is impossible for him to take a prince who is under the required age to ride a horse, even if he can steal the little prince out, Xue Yao's body is only eight years old, and he has never ridden a horse before, so how can he ensure that another three-year-old child will not fall off the horse? Injuried?

If the Seventh Prince accidentally made a bad move, not to mention that he would lose his qualification as a servant, this Da Qi has the king's law of punishing the nine clans waiting for him!

There is no other way but to restore the little wooden horse and return it to its original state, canceling the promise of riding the horse.

As soon as he left the Qingqiong Palace, he saw Qinghe waiting for him like a watchman.

The other servants of the third prince are all young eunuchs, all of whom have been replaced by the emperor, and his and Qing He's lives are still in the hands of the seventh prince. Even though he didn't accompany Xue Yao into the palace, Qing He was still waiting for news outside.

Now, seeing Xue Yao walking out with the wooden horse in his arms, no one helped him, so it can be seen that he was not hit by a board, so he stepped forward and said happily, "Is everything going well?"

Xue Yao frowned, and shook his head pretending to be worried: "It's hard to say, the seventh prince was very angry, and cried when he saw me, but fortunately, Concubine Xi was not in the palace, and no one could interrogate the master on behalf of the master. The prince promised to let me fix the wooden horse, but there is a condition, the wooden horse must be exactly the same as before it was broken, and there should be no cracks."

Qing He took a deep breath, took the wooden horse from him graciously, and said in a gentle voice: "Thanks for your hard work, I knew you would handle things. If I go in and beg the Seventh Prince with my stupid mouth, I will definitely not be able to get the wooden horse. Repair it It shouldn't be difficult, let's go to the Inner Prison and ask the best craftsmen to fix it!"

Xue Yao didn't say much, just nodded.

How can Xindao, the best craftsman, be so easy to use?Definitely cost money.

He brought five taels of silver from the previous lottery with him, which has been exchanged for one tael and one ingot of broken silver, and he plans to pay half of the repair cost with Qing He.

As for the price, if it is a carpenter's shop on the market, it will charge a few tens of pennies at most to repair this kind of gadget.

It will be more expensive to paint a few more layers of good paint, but it will be done for a tael of silver.

But this is an internal prison in the palace, how much it will cost, Xue Yao has no idea, it depends on how much face Qing He has.

The two of them walked halfway through the Twelfth Prison, and came to the Internal Official Prison. The eunuch who guarded the door greeted Qing He as soon as he saw him. He looked very friendly. Xue Yao only followed Qing He, wanting to get in together.

Xue Yao wanted to supervise the work himself and watch the carpenter fix the wooden horse, otherwise, if he was perfunctory and his ears and tail were sticky, and he wanted to fix it again, it would really be impossible to recover.

But he was not popular with Qing He, after all, the original owner was an eight-year-old child, and he didn't know much about the friendship between Qing He and the eunuchs.

Xue Yao guessed how Qinghe managed to win over the eunuch based on the memory of the original owner. It was very simple, he helped the eunuch take the rewards from the palace and sell them outside for money.

Although eunuchs are more free to come and go than court ladies, they rarely have the opportunity to go out of the palace, and most of the eunuchs who go out of the palace full-time have dirty hands and feet, and if they sell things for five taels of silver, he has to carry two taels in his pocket. Unlike Qing He, who is honest and sincere, he can change as much as he wants.

Moreover, Qing He is a popular person in front of the third prince, with something in his arms, most likely no one will search him, it is safer than a public eunuch.

Xue Yao felt that he could also use this method to win over eunuchs in the future, especially the future eunuch who will be in charge of the seal, who should still be working as a floor sweeper at the Zhidian Supervisor at this time, which is the golden age of wooing.

When he came back to his senses, Qinghe had already been let in by the gatekeeper eunuch, and Xue Yao hurriedly stepped over the threshold.

Because this trip was mainly for the sake of Qing He's face, Xue Yao has been working as a small follower and didn't plan to participate in the negotiation, but he didn't expect that the seemingly clever Qing He would cry when he found a familiar craftsman: "Uncle Liu! You can save me this time! My life is in your hands!"

Xue Yao's face turned livid.

This idiot...

Although he knew that Qinghe wanted to exaggerate so that Uncle Liu would try his best to restore the Trojan horse, but if he said this, it would be over!

If it were Xue Yao, he would definitely say this: "This time, something big happened. The Seventh Prince's wooden horse broke and was rewarded by His Majesty. Now let me move it to you. Hurry up, and it must be repaired properly. "

In other words, Uncle Liu himself is responsible for repairing the emperor's reward, so he can't afford it and walk around.

And Qinghe cried like that because he wanted Uncle Liu to sell him favors, but people are most concerned about his own interests, so how could Uncle Liu care so much about his life and death?

In this way, it will be controlled by the other party instead.

In the end, Xue Yao knew things well, so the carpenter pretended to measure and fiddled for a while, patted the wooden horse and said, "It's easy to repair, but if you don't see any cracks, you have to keep up with the original paint. I'll look at the paint." But the royal family only provides it, and the price is not cheap, is this money paid by you or by the master?"

Xue Yao hurriedly wanted to interject, wanting to say that it was the master's offer, so as to prevent him from extorting prices.

However, the anxious Qing He was still one step ahead of him, and shouted first: "How can I expect the master to come out! I can only cut the flesh myself!"

Xue Yao: "..."

The carpenter helped to complain a few words, but his face showed a happy expression, and he could ask for the price at will.
