You are the only one who dreams back to the previous life

Chapter 12

"Bold servant girl, you can't be polite when you see the emperor!"

A voice like a woman screaming sounded in my ears.I rubbed my ears and squinted to see if the voice of the eunuch next to the emperor was particularly shrill.

I had to stand up shortly after I did it. My teeth were ground a circle, and I stood up reluctantly, and then knelt down to salute Kangxi.Because the action was too slow, it was approved by Li Dequan again.Kangxi didn't respond at all. Could this be the so-called "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry to die".

Kangxi didn't say no courtesy, and I didn't dare to get up, so I could only kneel.The distance between me and him is only ten centimeters, I have never really seen his face clearly, I sneaked a glance at him. The 54-year-old Kangxi has gray hair, a small goatee, and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which look like deep grooves on a high loess slope.I think he looks more like a kind old man than a king.

"Get up." He said slowly, the voice of an old man, the tone of a king.This is the real emperor, with a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. "You, aren't you afraid of me?"

It’s this old question again, now I should thank those time-travel novels, they gave me many answers that I can learn from.

"Slaves are not afraid. Since ancient times, only a tyrant wants others to be afraid of him. The emperor is a wise king, and a wise king hopes to be loved and respected by others." I chose the most conservative answer.

"Oh, Ming Jun, what kind of king do you think is Ming Jun?"

Say like him?No, it would be considered flattery.Yao Shun Yu Soup?It's too corny!Hmm... I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, the more anxious I was, the more my mind went blank.In desperation, I recited the three cardinal guides, "The subject is the king's guide..."

Before I finished reciting it, I thought I had recited it backwards.It's too embarrassing, 'the minister is the king's guide', don't charge me with the crime of 'rebellious minister and thief'.

"Bold!" Li Dequan yelled to stop me.His voice tormented my eardrums again, and I was surprised that Kangxi didn't feel pain in his ears, or he was used to this kind of torture.

Kangxi pretended not to understand, and asked Li Dequan what happened.Li Dequan truthfully said that "the subject is the king's guide".Kangxi looked at me with great interest, probably wanting to know what else this brave girl like me would say.

I took a deep breath, looked straight at Kangxi, and said: "In ancient times, there was a concept of 'the people are the most important, and the emperor is the least'. This is 'the minister is the ruler'."

Kangxi stroked his little goatee, was silent for a while, and said: "Okay! What a 'minister is the king's guide'! Hehe——" He laughed, and I was also relieved.

Kangxi took a careful look at me and asked Li Dequan who I was when he thought I looked familiar.Li Dequan recalled that I was the female official appointed by Kangxi to dance in Qianqing Palace.Kangxi looked at me again and said, "You will follow me." I quickly thanked me.

I followed behind him, and he asked another question: "You know why I want you to follow me."

"The servant does not know." I said truthfully.I still remember what was said in "Gold Eloquence", if you don't know during the interview, just say you don't know. Nonsense will only make your boss think you are exaggerated.

"Haha, you are honest enough, you can't live in this palace without following me."

I didn't answer, saying anything now is superfluous.Since he said I was honest, I would only speak the truth in front of him.

Is this a birthday gift from God!A safe haven is definitely big enough and stable enough, because it is the center of the storm (like the center of a tornado, there is no wind).From now on, as long as he dispels his idea of ​​marrying me, everything will be fine for me.

I followed Kangxi and walked around in the imperial garden to a hexagonal pavilion.I saw Shisi was there, he saw me, and of course Kangxi.He hesitated for a moment, then hurried over to greet Kangxi.
