Subject to the emperor

"My lord, your refreshment is here, please use it slowly!"

"Thank you!"

This ancient bazaar was also lively, the streets were bustling with people, businessmen were bustling, and for some reason there were so many carriages pouring into this city of Los Angeles.In the corner of the noisy street, a purple-robed man was wearing a veiled cap on his head, with a long sword and a package beside him, and he was eating the ordinary snacks on the table slowly.

The turbulent wind blew through the veil on the veil and a corner was blown up, revealing half of the man's profile.With a soft jaw line, thin lips like red plum blossoms, if you want to look up to see that the flying veil has fallen, just a glance is already pleasing to the eye!

"Can the boss ask you something?"

"Okay, tell me objectively."

"How come there are so many carriages coming in and out of Los Angeles? What happened?"

"My lord, you don't know! This is for our Emperor Ziyang to choose a concubine!"

"Choose a concubine?"

"That's right, Emperor Ziyang has been on the throne for three years, and this is the first time he has chosen a concubine, so all the girls from all households who have reached the age of 16 must participate in the election. Well, the ones in these carriages are the ones who have passed the junior high school." The selected girls will be sent to Wangcheng to be selected by the emperor himself after going through the second screening by Lord King of Luocheng!"

"So that's it, thank you boss! You don't need to look for food money here!"

"Okay, son, go slowly!"

The selection of a concubine by the new emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty is really something worth celebrating. No wonder everyone is full of joy along the way. Shouldn't he be happy for the superior emperor?But now that the national power of Xingyu Kingdom is getting stronger day by day, and there is a great intention to invade the Great Phoenix Dynasty and rule the world alone, this Emperor Ziyang really has a leisurely heart!

"Get out of the way, stinky beggar! If you dare to block the way of the future imperial concubine, you are looking for death! Get out of the way! Or I will beat you to death!"

There was a commotion and chasing sounds behind him, and a woman begging for mercy.

"My lord, don't fight, we will get out of the way immediately, let's get out of the way immediately!"

'Snapped!Snapped! '

"Hurry up! Court death!"

The woman seemed to have an injury on her leg, and her legs and feet were extremely uncomfortable. Behind her was a child of about ten years old. On the child's face, there was an extremely terrifying scar running across the left and right sides of his face!

Impatiently, the groom whipped the woman several times, and the woman held the child tightly in her arms to prevent the child from being hurt.Seeing this scene, the purple-robed man seemed to see himself who was protected in the past, and his heart tightened as he was about to step forward to stop him.

"Stop!" A man in his early thirties stood in front of the carriage and pulled the groom's whip and threw it on the ground!

"Who are you? How dare you stop the future imperial concubine and concubine from teaching unruly people!" Seeing that the horsewhip was taken away, the groom immediately blushed and shouted at the middle-aged man with a thick neck.

"Haha, did you hear that? The future imperial concubine! Not to mention the future, even the real imperial concubine has no right to abuse lynching!"

"Yep!"

"That's right, abuse of lynching is against the law!" The people onlookers started booing.

"Apologize!" The middle-aged man continued.

"Yes, I apologize! I apologize!"

"Since you are the future imperial concubine, you should be more virtuous and know the law! Please also ask the future imperial concubine to get off the carriage and apologize to this poor woman!"

"You, who are you? Report your name! Do you know who we are? We are—" The groom was about to tell his history in a hurry, but was stopped by a guard next to him shaking his head.

"Ahem, that, a lot of us adults don't have the same knowledge as you! Let's go!"

"Help him up before we go!" The middle-aged man stopped in front of the carriage and said.

Unwilling to be scolded, the coachman was about to have another fit, but the guard stopped him. Seeing this, the coachman had no choice but to go over to help the woman in disgrace, but the woman dared not let him help her, so she stood up tremblingly and dragged the boy slowly. Slowly go to the side.The groom, cursing, picked up his whip and drove the carriage away from the crowd.

When the carriage passed by the man in purple robe, the curtain dangled and leaked a slit, and there was a beautiful woman inside who seemed to be sleeping. No wonder the groom was so arrogant, it was hard for such a beauty not to be selected!There are countless beauties like this in the harem, and the emperor is truly the most blessed person.

After the carriage left, the crowd dispersed quickly, and the middle-aged man had disappeared, so we could only guess that he might be that heroic Jianghu man.The woman was still there, and the child was hiding behind her timidly. The fear of this world was revealed in his clean eyes. From the moment he saw the two of them, the child hardly let go of his hand. over the woman's skirt.

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, you are seriously injured, I have some medical knowledge, let me take a look for you!"

"No, no need! Ugly baby, let's go!"

However, the child tightly grabbed the woman's clothes with one hand, and the man in purple robe with the other. When the boy raised his head, he could see the face covered by the light veil, and he boldly looked at the man. , Another meaning besides fear appeared in the eyes, I like it!A innocent smile appeared on the boy's face.

The woman looked at the boy beside her in surprise, and then glanced at the man in purple robe, unable to decide whether to leave or stay.No matter how you think about it, the woman and the boy are not simple, at least the story they experienced is not simple.

"Brother, please help my nanny, she has been hurt for a long time, please help her!"

"Little-ugly boy, you have spoken, it's great that you have spoken!" The woman hugged the boy tightly in excitement.

"Don't worry, I will save your nanny." His fingers brushed over the scar on the boy's face. The small face that was originally carved from jade was ruined on this scar. He thought it would be great if the scar could be removed.

"Thank you brother, you are so kind, I like you!"

"what do you like about me?"

"I like your beauty, I like your eyes!"

"Really? My brother likes you too, and also likes your eyes the most!"

"Really? Brother, don't you think I'm ugly and scary?"

"No, you are very sensible and well-behaved. My brother doesn't feel ugly, nor is he afraid!"

"You are the only one besides the nanny who said that, brother, you are so kind!" The boy's words were full of tears, and it is not difficult to imagine how hard they lived before, how much white eyes and bullying they had suffered.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"I, my name is—Ai Zi!"

"Brother Ai!"

Ai Zi: …………Why does it sound so weird!

"Okay, let's find an inn to stay, and I'll treat your nanny's wounds!"

"Thank you son, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in like this..." the woman said with some worry.

"It's okay, you just come with me."

In Yuelai Inn, Ai Zi led the woman and the boy into the lobby, the shopkeeper's smiling face suddenly collapsed.

"I said, guest officer, why did you bring two beggars in, this, this is so unlucky!"

"Boss, prepare two rooms for me, prepare some meals, send some hot water and clean gauze, and buy some clean clothes for me!"

Not wanting to talk nonsense with the shopkeeper, he took out a bank note and ordered directly.Money can turn ghosts around! It's the same everywhere!

"Okay, sir, just wait for me, and I'll have someone take you to your room to rest. Meals, hot water and clothes will be brought to you in a while."

Ai Zi nodded and the boy helped the woman up to the second floor and entered Room No. [-] in Tianzi under Xiao Er's leadership.As soon as he entered the room, the man took off the veiled cap on his head, and a handsome face appeared in front of the two of them. The small and delicate face easily caught the attention of others, but compared with those bright eyes, it paled After a few minutes, there seems to be a spring breeze in the eyes and eyes!Compared to the woman's astonishment, the boy had an indescribable expression on his face, seemingly obsessed and joyful!

"Sister-in-law, what's your name?"

"If you don't mind Mr. Ai, you can just call me Wang Ma!"

"Well, Wang Ma, where are you from? What happened to you...?"

Ai Zi asked casually, but Wang Ma lowered her head and was unwilling to answer. Seeing this situation, Ai Zi also understood that they had some scruples, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Ugly, how old are you, ugly baby?"

"I'm 13 years old."

13 years old!It looked like he was only ten years old at most, and he was probably so thin and short because of long-term malnutrition that affected his growth and development, which made Ai Zi feel pity for him even more.

"Ugly baby, eat more food later, take a bath and sleep well, you know?"

"Well, thank you brother Ai."

"Young master, I know you are a good person. I don't know how long Mama Wang will live. I beg you, if something happens to me in the future, you can take in the ugly baby. Please, please!"

"Wang Ma, get up quickly, you have an injury on your leg and cannot kneel down, get up quickly, do you have something to say before you speak?" Wang Ma suddenly knelt down and begged Ai Zi at a loss!

"Mr. Ai, if you promise me, I'll get up. It's not Wang Ma who makes things difficult for me. I really can't do anything about it. Ugly Baby is a hard-working child. As long as you give him a good meal, I beg you, Wang Mama!"

Not only was Wang Ma kneeling, she kowtowed anxiously when she saw Ai Zi's delay in agreeing.

"Okay, Wang Ma, get up quickly, I promise you, I will keep the ugly baby, and I will also heal your wounds!"

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Ai, as long as you can take in the ugly baby, it doesn't matter if my injury is cured or not!"

"That won't work. I must heal your injury. Ugly baby is not a name after all. Since I have decided to keep Ugly baby, let me choose a name for Ugly baby... How about calling it Ai Qi? From now on Ai Qi will be My younger brother, I will naturally take care of Ai Qi for the rest of my life!"

"Ai Qi likes this name, Ai Qi thank you brother! Ai Qi will follow my brother for the rest of my life, it's great that Ai Qi has a family again!" Ai Qi's eyes showed strong joy, and she threw herself into Ai Zi's arms with a smile Expressing his excitement.Ai Zi stroked his head pityingly, he is really short at 13 years old.

"Wang Ma also thank you son!"

'Boom—boom——'

"Son, I'm here to bring you hot water and clothes!"

"come in!"

Wang Ma went to Tianzi No. [-] room to wash, while Ai Qi stayed in Tianzi No. [-] room and Ai Zi scrubbed it herself.In the warm bathtub, Ai Zi's skin was smudged pink and tender like a half-ripe peach!Although the clothes on his body were tattered, his body was very clean, and his skin was fair and delicate, which formed a sharp contrast with the scar on his face.

What kind of experience did Ai Qi have, such a past and such a mystery, Ai Zi didn't know if he would understand one day, all he knew was that he left Ai Qi now and would be responsible for his life in the future .

Unexpectedly, the first thing he did was something unexpected, which made his original plan postponed and had to be changed. .
