unruly princess

Chapter 34

The next day, I reluctantly went to Yuntianfu to report.Seeing my worried face, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "I know you are a little worried, but I guarantee that you will have nothing to worry about after meeting the emperor."

"Why?" I asked suspiciously. 
"Because the emperor is a famous emperor, he treats people gently. He won't cut off people's heads at every turn. Unless..."

"Unless what?" I was eager to know the answer.

"Unless you have done something that disgraces the royal family or is an unforgivable crime, he may chop off your head."

"Can you be more specific?" I asked Liu Zhiguang who was walking towards the sedan chair.

He turned around before getting into the sedan chair, "For example, those who deceive the superiors, those who resist orders, those who are unseemly, and those who are heinous. These count."

Ah~ I'm stunned, does this count as deception?Liu Zhiguang's sedan chair had already been lifted up, but I was still staring at it stupidly. "Hey! My lord, why are you so selfish? How can I get there?" He chased after him and ran up.No matter!Who made my official small?When the morning exercise is done.

Finally arrived at the gate of the palace, where many large sedan chairs and carriages were parked.I looked around to see if Chu Yuntian's carriage was here?

"You wait here for a while, after the court is over, I will come to you again." After Master Liu finished speaking, he went to greet the officials.

Chu Yuntian's carriage was seen, but the person didn't know where it was, maybe he had gone in earlier?I was a little disappointed and retracted my eyes looking around.

"What are you looking around for?"

"Chu Yuntian!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Shh!" He made a silent motion for me. "Don't be so loud, it's not good to attract people's attention." I covered my mouth and nodded.

He pulled me behind a relatively large carriage, "Don't talk too much when you meet the emperor, it's best to change your voice, because the emperor has heard your voice."

"I know. Don't worry! If you're really worried about me, come in with me!" I teased in a low voice.

"That will only make your identity exposed faster. I'd better stay outside, and someone inside will notify me if something happens. It's time to go to court. I'll go in, and you should be careful." The first time I met Chu Yuntian is so wordy.Looking at his leaving back, a warm current passed through my heart.This person is actually pretty good!
It was earlier, so I didn't feel how hot it was.Now the big sun was hanging high in the sky, so I had to find a shady place to stand.But still hot tight.I had to keep fanning with one hand.It took about an hour for someone to come out.I tried to find Mr. Liu from the crowd, but it was not easy to find out so many people wearing similar clothes.

Almost everyone was gone, and I saw Mr. Liu walking out leisurely.I ran over angrily, "My lord, you are so slow! I'm almost turning into a fossil."

"Sorry, I had a little too much chat with a colleague just now. Let's go in now!" After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw my father coming out from inside, and I hurriedly hid behind Liu Zhiguang.When Dad walked over, he slowly poked his head out.

"Why did you hide behind me just now?" Lord Liu said to me who sighed.

"Because you are taller, my lord, I am hiding from the sun behind you!" I made nonsense.

Liu Zhiguang didn't ask any further questions, and led me towards the imperial study.When I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I was stopped by a little father-in-law.

"Grandpa Xia, please go and report that Liu Zhiguang, the magistrate of Yuntian Prefecture, brought Cheng Xiaoyan, the chief arrester, to visit Shengjia."

"It turned out to be Master Liu! Then this is Cheng Butou, who caught the flower picker! I have known his name for a long time. I just didn't expect Cheng Butou to be such a handsome young man. Please come with our house, the emperor ordered, my lord. You don’t need to report when you come.”

I smiled modestly and said, "Don't dare!" I followed Master Liu and walked slowly towards the door.

There were some guards standing outside the imperial study room, and they all had the same expression on their faces.It should be said that he has no expression on his face, and stands majesticly with a big knife in his hand.I watch them carefully to see if there is anything easy to deal with.In case something goes wrong, you can find out the situation when you escape, and you won't hit the knife edge.

"It's so big!" I followed Lord Liu and Eunuch Xia into the imperial study and sighed in my heart.The emperor's study room is different, it looks luxurious everywhere.

Before I had time to observe carefully, Liu Zhiguang's voice had already reached my ears. "My minister Liu Zhiguang kowtows to my emperor, long live long live long live long live!"

I also imitated Liu Zhiguang and knelt down, lowering my voice: "The head arrester of Yuntian Mansion, Cheng Xiaoyan, pays homage to my emperor, long live."

"Get up!" The elegant and pleasant voice was mixed with a majesty that could not be ignored.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Master Liu and I both stood up respectfully.

"I heard that you came up with the method of catching the flower picking thief? And you caught the thief yourself, right?"

"Yes!" I lowered my head and replied with a little guilt.It would be bad if Chu Yuntian was involved.

"I also heard that the woman who was your bait couldn't help but fainted from fright. You will be the bait instead of her, right?" The emperor suddenly stood up and walked towards me slowly.Scared me of that cold sweat!Where did he have so many questions?Don't go any further!I exclaimed in my heart.

The emperor's golden boots embroidered with dragons are right under my eyes, and I can even feel his breath.Heart, thumping, beating non-stop. "Huh?" Seeing that I didn't answer the emperor seemed a little upset.

"Yes!" I lowered my head and looked at my toes.

"I was wondering at the time, a man, especially a man who practiced martial arts, would have flaws no matter how beautifully he pretended to be a woman! Let alone under the eyes of a flower picker who has experienced countless beauties, it is really hard to hide it. Impossible. The purpose of my summoning you is to see what kind of person is that person who disguised himself as a woman's bait but was able to hide from the eyes of the flower pickers? I wonder if you can solve this doubt for me?"

The more he said the more I was surprised, the emperor is different, he would think so much.Even Lord Liu never doubted me.

I calmed down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, ordinary men are taller, so they will be spotted easily if they pretend to be women. The reason why I... I can hide it from his eyes so smoothly is because of my... It is really due to the relatively short stature of Beizhi. Beizhi has always been sad because of his thin body, but now I didn't expect that he would help Beizhi a lot. From this point of view, it cannot be said that a man's thin body is not a bad thing at all."

"Even if you are thin and small, if you have an average appearance, you can't hide it from his eyes. I am very curious about what kind of face you have. Lift your head up and let me see."

I screamed in my heart that it was terrible, and I scolded the emperor thousands of times in my heart.And Chu Yuntian, why is the emperor not interested in the appearance of ordinary people, why is it fine if I don't raise my head, hum!You are simply lying to me!But scolding, scolding, how to solve the problem in front of me gave me a headache.

"I told you to lift your head up!" The tone was a little harsh.

"Your Majesty, how can such a humble appearance catch the attention of the Holy Majesty, I'm afraid it will shock the Holy Majesty, the Emperor should not look at it." Fight to the end, and never raise your head until the end.

"So you want to resist the edict?" Dongfang Xuan's tone was suddenly cold, which made me shiver.Unexpectedly, the emperor who seemed so gentle actually had this side.No wonder people say that being with you is like being with a tiger!I only got along with him for such a short time, and I deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.

"I don't dare to work in a lowly position!" I knelt down and said 'with sincerity and sincerity'.Kneeling is better than beheading, anyway, he has already kneeled before.

"Then raise your head and let me see!" There was a hint of anger in the voice.

"This..." What should I do?Why is this emperor so difficult to deal with.

"Cheng Butou, what are you doing? Do you really want to resist the order?" Master Liu said anxiously from the side.

"Liu Aiqing, you go down first! I want to talk to him alone."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning!" Liu Zhiguang gave me a worried look, and withdrew.

"Stand up!" Dongfang Xuan said after waiting for Liu Zhiguang to leave.

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty." To be honest, I would rather kneel.It's not that I'm perverted, it's just that when I stand up, I get closer to his face.My danger naturally increases by one point.Some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather.I don't want to lose my head because of such trivial things as resisting the edict or bullying the emperor.The meaning of death is no less than a feather, lighter than air.

"Everyone has gone out now, it's just the two of us. Now you should raise your head up for me to see!" His voice came from above my head.I rolled my eyes, it wasn't others I was worried about, it was Your Majesty!

Although he thought so, he had no choice but to resign himself to fate and slowly raised his head, staring at his chest.Because our heights are too different, our eyes only reach his chest.Chu Yuntian was a little taller than Dongfang Xuan, and he always raised his neck when talking to him.

"Keep your head up so I can see your face clearly," he ordered.

I'm a little annoyed, why does this person always like to make others do things that others don't want to do!Rather than being so like a wronged little daughter-in-law, I might as well let him give me a good time.

She raised her head a little angrily, and met his beautiful eyes.Full of anger and unwillingness, I boldly and boldly looked at the emperor.And the emperor seemed to be overwhelmed by my boldness, just staring at my face in a daze.Although I feel a little regretful for my recklessness, since I have already done it, I will continue.

I don’t know if I read it wrong, but I found that he was observing my face very, very carefully, no matter if it was my intentionally thick eyebrows, straight nose bridge, or my unpainted but vermilion red lips.His eyes stopped one by one.But there was no such thing as lust in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fine work of art.It seems to be. ． ．Do you want to deeply remember or appreciate my beautiful face?
Crazy, crazy, I unconsciously shook my head slightly, the emperor has never seen any beauties before, do you care about my face that looks neither fish nor fowl?I suddenly caught a glimpse of his hand stretching towards my head, I took a step back and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

He stared at me for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips.The hand still reached out to me. ． ．post. "You seem to be wearing something in your hair!" His hand gently rested on my hair, and then left.It's really like taking something.

I looked curiously at his hand that had just left my hair. "Look, it's a willow leaf!" He let go of his hand, and the incomplete leaf floated down on the spotless floor.

Hearing him say that made me feel a little relieved.I couldn't help but feel amused by my overreaction just now.

"I found that you look very similar to a person I know." The emperor looked at me with a faint smile on his face and said.Uh?My heart, which had just calmed down, was beating violently and quickly again.Every hit seemed to hit my throat.

"Yes...is that so? There are many wonders in the world, and it's not surprising that two people look alike." Khan! ! !Doesn't this person swear to give up if he doesn't scare people to death?Why didn't you find him so difficult when you saved him last time?
He took a full view of my uneasy reaction, but even so he was still not satisfied: "But the biggest difference between you is that she is a woman, but you are a man."

"It's not surprising. Maybe I should be a girl, but Hades mistaken me for the gender. It's also possible." Don't admit it to death, tell the lie to the end!The emperor seemed to believe my words, but he didn't ask any more questions.It's evil~

"Have you ever thought about coming to the palace as an errand?" Dongfang Xuan walked to the desk, flipping through the memorial with his hands casually, without any emotion in his calm tone.

What?Let me go to the palace as an errand?I heard that right!Seeing that I didn't respond to him, he turned to look at me.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's just that I... a humble person prefers to be a fast catcher, so..."

He stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing, "I understand! Since you don't want to, I won't force you. However, one of my bodyguards happened to be out on business. I think you can do it for him while he is away from office." How about my personal bodyguard? Of course, you can continue to work in Yuntian Mansion, and if there is any important case, you can still do what you should do as an unhappy person."

"It seems a bit..." I just wanted to say no.

"Why? Don't you even agree to this little request? Don't tell me you have to let me make an order. It won't be so simple then." Dongfang Xuan said sternly.

"Yes, the emperor ordered the humble official to agree." It felt really strange how it seemed to be persuading a child. "Your Majesty, may I ask a small question?"

The emperor seemed very happy to hear that I agreed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked, "What's the problem?"

"What is the specific job of this bodyguard?"

"In addition to protecting my safety, you also have to be by my side inseparably. Of course, except that Yuntian Mansion has urgent matters to deal with." Dongfang Xuanyi was on the oversized desk, staring at me very interestingly and said leisurely.

What?inseparable?Just now I just watched his movements, and now I can react.I stared at him in shock, and said word by word: "Is it really inseparable, Your Majesty?"

Even if he goes to Concubine Yu at night, should I go with him?This doesn't seem too good!I'm not a peeping tom, I'm not interested in the affairs between their husband and wife.The most important thing is that even if he can't find out my identity now, after a long time, there will always be flaws, and then I will really die.

I think my face must be very ugly now, because I saw that although Dongfang Xuan's expression was quite serious and serious, his body trembled slightly and his chest heaved slightly.It's just trying to hold back a laugh.Finally knew that he had been tricked by him.If I didn't see him as the emperor, I would have kicked him over.

Perhaps seeing that I was on the verge of breaking out, the emperor straightened his face and said: "I was just joking with you just now. This is my token, with which you can enter and leave the palace freely. I will let Liu Zhiguang tell you if I have something to do. If you have nothing to do, you can come for a stroll." I took the half-palm-sized golden small token with the word imperial from the emperor, looked at it carefully and felt a little flattered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Why does it feel like a dream today, and the contrast between this dream and what I think is too great.

"Okay, you go back! I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"Yes, I...resign from my humble position!" I put away the gold medal, corrected my slip of the tongue in time, turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute!" The emperor stopped me in time as I was about to step out of the room. "If you're not used to it, don't call yourself a humble job. It's awkward for me to listen to."

"Ah~ Then what should I call myself?" My expression was a little blank.

"Haven't you already made your own decision?" The emperor's mocking voice floated into my ears.
