Canglan Empress

Chapter 804
What is the surprise? Yaohua didn't let it slip.

Rong Jin felt uncomfortable, but couldn't ask a word.

June passed quickly, and the climate ushered in the hottest July of the year.

Tianshu and Rong Jin's dark guard commander brought a child from Northern Qi.

At the age of six, she was born pretty and handsome, with a bit of baby fat on her small face, which looked very pink.

But the child had no expression on his face. When he entered the palace, he knelt down and saluted the emperor and the regent. His voice was immature, but he didn't feel much panic or nervousness.

Yaohua looked at the child.

The eyebrows and eyes are well formed, with a bit of childish delicacy, and looks very calm and calm, not like a six-year-old child.

Moreover, most of the bastards who are not liked by the aunt are timid, cowardly, or good at disguising-of course, a six-year-old child probably hasn't learned how to pretend.

However, the child in front of him does seem to have a certain temperament.

Yaohua himself was a talent at a young age, so naturally he would not judge a child by age. In his cognition, tolerance is something that is innate and has nothing to do with age.

The little child knelt there, with his back straight and his eyes drooping. He neither looked humble and shy, nor frivolous.

But he did the respect he deserved.

Yaohua watched him silently for a long time, but the child didn't show any uneasiness.

"What's your name?" Yaohua's voice was flat, neither deliberate majesty nor gentleness.

Just a simple question.

"Report to the emperor, slave Yao Fei."

"Slave?" Yaohua raised an eyebrow, "Who told you to call yourself a slave?"

Yao Fei: "Father said that slaves come into the palace to serve their masters, and according to the rules, they must call themselves slaves."

Yaohua was silent, and turned to glance at Rong Jin.

Rong Jin shrugged.

Now that the name has not been determined, it is naturally impossible for him to let people clearly say that he is the one who chooses the crown prince, and such an older child is elected to enter the palace, and he is still a boy. Perhaps in his father's perception, he just cleans up and enters the palace to serve Your Excellency.

"What did your father say when he heard that you were going to enter the palace?"

Yao Fei said: "Reporting to the emperor, it is a blessing for my father to persuade the nobles to serve you."

Blessing?

Yaohua's expression faded. If a normal father thought that his son would enter the palace as a slave, even if he dared not resist the order, he should at least show a little sadness.

Forget it, these are not important.

Yaohua said lightly: "Have you read the Tao Te Ching?"

"Report to the emperor, my servant has read it."

"Chapter 9."

"Holding and gaining it is not as good as oneself; holding it sharply, it cannot be kept forever. The house is full of gold and jade, and no one can keep it; rich and proud, seek blame for what you leave behind. Retire after success, the way of heaven."

Yaohua raised his eyebrows lightly: "Your understanding?"

A six-year-old child actually doesn't know that entering the palace as a slave also needs to read and write, but the emperor asked him, no matter what, he couldn't question it.

Therefore, I just said obediently: "The meaning of this passage is that you must leave room for being a human being. You can't do things too much, and you can't be dazzled by victory. Show your sharpness, be rich and proud, and take credit for positions. They are all excessive." His performance will bring disaster to himself."

"Then tell me, what will happen if the emperor does too much and doesn't know how to leave room for it?"

Don't you think such a question is a bit difficult for a six-year-old child?

Yao Fei is neither humble nor arrogant: "If a person does not do well, he will bring disasters on himself; the king of a country is in charge of all the people in the world. If he does not do well, all the people in the world will be in trouble."
