monopolize my master

"Hey, Your Highness, take it easy...it hurts, it hurts..."

In the prince's dormitory, the voice of the young master kept coming out.Ling Xiao's voice was nice to hear, plus he deliberately pretended to be miserable, and his soft and deep voice caused many little palace ladies outside the door to blush.

Su Huang helplessly bandaged the wound on Ling Xiao's left shoulder, "...can you keep your voice down?"

"I don't want to either. But it really hurts..." Ling Xiao deliberately teased him, his voice became softer, "His Royal Highness, please be gentle."

"It's you who didn't let me go to the imperial doctor." Su Huang's face turned red, and he said softly, "I haven't treated other people's wounds..."

"It's not been a day or two since His Royal Highness's reputation outside the world. If you make such a big fanfare, I'm afraid the Holy Majesty will be alarmed."

"You..." Su Huang was at a loss for words for a while, and looked at Ling Xiao with puzzled eyes for a long time, before carefully probing, "You...trust me so much...don't you blame me for hurting you a few days ago?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud at this slightly childish question.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Su Huang said harshly.

"Is it okay to give yourself a higher evaluation?" Ling Xiao's eyes deepened with a smile, "Although I know that His Highness doesn't welcome me, in His Highness's eyes, there seems to be more worry."

As if her mind had been seen through, Su Huang's ears turned red at some point, "...you... really don't care?"

"Well... yesterday was really unpleasant," Ling Xiao said with a chuckle, "But His Highness's worried look now makes me hard to care about."

"Talk out." Su Huang snorted softly, and stopped talking, but the clumsy bandage on her hand couldn't help being much gentler.

"May I ask Your Highness a question?" Ling Xiao suppressed his smile and asked seriously.

"You said."

"His Royal Highness practices swordsmanship almost every morning, and behaves... well, most of the time, he is relatively stable. He is definitely not a playful and unmotivated son. Why do you reject the grand tutor your father found for you? "

"It's nothing." Su Huang said softly, "I don't like them."

"Why?"

"I have memorized those complicated poems by heart. Moreover, most of them are different from their views." Su Huang curled her lips, "But every time I say that, they will reprimand me for being arrogant and arrogant. After a lesson, I will Report it to my father... Later, my attitude became more and more perfunctory, and the teaching content became even more boring. I couldn't figure it out at first, but I was just telling the truth, so why did I become defiant in their eyes?" Su Huang paused, His eyes were filled with an unfathomable chill that didn't quite match his age.

"Are they jealous because they are not as young as me?"

Ling Xiao was taken aback by the chill in Su Huang's eyes.

"That... This is just His Highness's own speculation... I think that maybe His Highness violated the taboo of those literati on something that he didn't pay attention to."

"Maybe, but I don't bother to pursue it. Let them go." Su Huang pouted, and tied the bandage on Ling Xiao's arm, "Try it."

Looking at the crooked bandages, Ling Xiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Huang should not answer him.He just cleaned up the debris on the ground.Ling Xiao adjusted his clothes and sat on the rattan chair, looking at Su Huang's busy back with some thought.

Since the first time he met Su Huang, he felt that there was a subtle sense of disobedience in this child.At this time, the two were alone, and this strange feeling came to Ling Xiao's heart again.But he looked at Su Huang, but he couldn't tell where this feeling of disobedience came from.

"Lord Ling...I think..."

The second half of Su Huang's sentence was interrupted by Huang Zhusi who hurried in, "Your Highness, Lord Ling... His Majesty has already arrived at the gate of the East Palace. You two, get ready and go to pick up the holy car. "

Su Huang and Ling Xiao's expressions changed when they heard the words.But then the emperor's voice sounded at the palace gate.

"Don't worry about it, I'm already at the door."

The emperor's visit this time seemed to be an ordinary visit to his own children, and he didn't even bring a few attendants with him.Everyone in the East Palace hurriedly knelt down to greet him, the emperor waved his hand with a smile, and said loudly, "No."

Su Huang went up to meet him, although he looked well-behaved, Ling Xiao still glimpsed a look of ecstasy from those bright black eyes.

"Why do you have time to come here today?" Su Huang hurriedly ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and water for the emperor, but his eyes never left the emperor's face for a moment.

"I came here to see how you are doing." The emperor sat on the rattan chair with a smile, turned his gaze to Ling Xiao and said, "Ling Aiqing, how is the prince's academic progress?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I brought a lot of ancient books yesterday, and His Royal Highness also studied a little bit. It is quite easy to learn."

Ling Xiao replied out of conscience.

The emperor smiled when he heard the words, "Really? Aiqing don't need to be nervous, just tell the truth. I heard an interesting thing here. Ling Aiqing and His Royal Highness made a big fuss in the Zangshu Pavilion yesterday. I came to ask if there is such a thing." thing?"

"...The minister is terrified, he deserves death!" Ling Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down heavily, "It's all the fault of the minister, please punish me."

"Really?" The emperor squinted his eyes, "It seems that Aiqing is not small, and she has such a big show when she comes to the East Palace. Cangshu Pavilion? Hmph, do you want me to free up the treasury and let the adults continue to smash it?"

"I absolutely dare not!" Ling Xiao hastily knocked his head heavily, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.But after all, he is still just a young man who has just entered the officialdom, how can he know how to respond in order to cover up the truth and please the emperor?Even though he was usually eloquent, in front of such a heavy imperial prestige, apart from pleading guilty, he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

"Then tell me, why is there such a commotion in Zangshu Pavilion?" the emperor asked coldly.

Ling Xiao peeked at Su Huang, who was beside the emperor who had been silent all the time, and frowned.In this situation, if Su Huang refuses to say a word for herself...

Ling Xiao no longer dared to think about the consequences.

"Ling Yunqing, Ling Taifu, answer?" The emperor asked again, his tone was still calm, but everyone present could faintly sense his anger.

"...Father, it's my son's fault." Su Huang suddenly knelt beside Ling Xiao, cupped his hands and pleaded guilty, "It was the child who was acting out of temper for a while... cheating Lord Ling... If the father punishes him, he will punish the son." Minister!"

"You...what should I say." The emperor sighed helplessly, "Get up first."

Su Huang hurriedly got up and thanked him.Standing neatly next to the emperor.

"Nonsense, I still don't understand the rules at such an age, it's a joke." The emperor told Su Huang, and then looked at Ling Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, after thinking for a while, he actually walked up to him and stretched out his hand to support him.

A cold sweat broke out from Ling Xiao's back, and he said in panic, "Love, Your Majesty."

"Ling Aiqing did a good job." The emperor glanced at Su Huang, and smiled at Ling Xiao, "Ah Huang is stubborn, and sent away more than a dozen grand masters back and forth, Master Ling is the first one who is willing to do it for him. Speaker."

Ling Xiao smiled reluctantly, thanked him, and when the emperor shifted his gaze to Su Huang, he shifted away knowingly, and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"You will never enter the palace as an official in the future...follow my old ways."

"Most people in the royal family have vicious thoughts. With your temperament, it is absolutely impossible to deal with it."

Ling Xiao's ears suddenly rang out what that person said for no reason.

Ling Xiao didn't take what the man told him seriously before.Whether it was entering the court a few days ago to become an official, or boldly breaking into the prince's bedroom and bickering with him...

It wasn't until the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the person who held the power of life and death in the world, stood in front of him, that he faintly felt unprecedented panic.

Because just now that deep face full of smiles, no matter looking at herself or facing Su Huang, there is no trace of a smile in the depths of her eyes!

"By the way, I came today to ask Ling Aiqing something." The emperor suddenly put away his smile, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Does Aiqing know about the assassination of Governor Zhang Wenju last night?"

"...Master Zhang was assassinated?" Ling Xiao said in surprise, "I didn't hear about it..."

"...I don't have any other intentions. I just heard that Mr. Zhang's mansion is not far from Ling's mansion. Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi told me that the two of you went out for a drink last night. I just wanted to see if Ai Qing noticed it here. What is it?" The emperor frowned, and lowered his eyes in pain, "Master Zhang has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I owe him something."

Ling Xiao bowed his head and remained silent.

The emperor sat in the palace and greeted Su Huang for a while, and had some refreshments. He seemed very happy, and he didn't drive Ling Xiao out, and he was full of praise for the craftsmanship of the maids in Su Huang's palace.Su Huang stood aside in a well-regulated manner, carefully deliberating his words and replying to the emperor's words.What Ling Xiao was concerned about was that Su Huang's hands and feet were a little tense and stiff -- or maybe he was overjoyed.

After all, what child doesn't want to see his father every day?

Ling Xiao seemed to be poked hard by something in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." After deliberating for a while, Ling Xiao said slowly.

The emperor took a sip of tea, "Ai Qing, please tell me."

"Chen, I want to be bold and teach His Royal Highness martial arts. I wonder if His Majesty will allow it?"
