Chapter 71: A Journey of Sorrow - Sad Star (4)

"To be honest, I don't want to hear it. It's not these important now. Miss Daji, please follow me to see the king quickly, otherwise the king will be in a hurry and it will be bad if he blames it." Pingyi bowed again and begged Akao. There was obviously a slight anxiety in his eyes.

When Akao heard this, he felt sad about Pingyi's attitude. That day, when he was still a young man, Pingyi talked to him. Now, he is still separated. After all, he doesn't recognize him.

As the anger in her heart rose, she slowly pouted her mouth, almost touching her nose. And she exhaled heavily like an old ox.

"Okay, okay, I want to hear it, Miss Daji, please tell me." Pingyi admitted defeat and thought to himself that this woman has a personality.

Akao suddenly felt secretly happy, but still felt a little disappointed, because Pingyi did not really want to listen to his dream, but was only willing to listen to it because he was forced to do so.

She smiled faintly, but the smile was filled with sadness.

She spoke slowly, her light red lips collided: "My dream is to abolish all the remaining slavery." She raised her head high and said word by word, not allowing the other party to ignore even one word.

Pingyi heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He vaguely felt that he had heard this from somewhere.

He looked at Akao's eyes, and slowly, from calm or a little bit of surprise, he actually gained some appreciation. The calm that was originally restrained by him suddenly had ripples. He thought to himself that such a beautiful lady would have such advanced thoughts and minds. It was really rare that such a woman would have such an advanced mind and ambition in the harem. However, the concubine of the king was a handsome man, and the minister was a minister, so he must not have the idea of ​​crossing the boundaries. He calmed down for a few seconds and calmed down his mood.

Akao noticed the admiring expression that Pingyi had inadvertently revealed just now, pursed his lips shyly, lowered his head slightly, and asked tentatively: "What do you think my dream is like? Would you be a little stupid?"

Pingyi smiled and had a gentle look: "Miss Daji's idea is very good, which makes me admire him. However, today's world, the court system and slavery have been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

If you want to realize your dream, the first thing you have to do is to live seriously in this palace. As long as you can live, you will have the chance to be favored by the king. As long as you are favored by the king, you will have more opportunities to realize your ideals."

Akao felt sweet honey seeping out of her heart. She looked at Pingyi with the same gentle eyes: "Actually, this ideal is not something that must be done, but your answer has increased my confidence."

Pingyi gave a sweet smile. The two looked at each other. Akao forgot the time and only hoped that this moment would stay forever.

Now Akao’s dream is just a prototype. Her dream will eventually become a powerful tool to devour her blood. That will happen many days later.

In fact, Akao, who entered the palace on the first day and was arrested in the palace, was still very scared of the king. She kept trying to delay the time: "That... I want to go to the toilet first."

Pingyi frowned: "Miss Daji, let's go to meet the king first. If you get angry with him, you will not have the chance to be favored."

"But...I'm scared..."

"Sooner or later, why not see him as soon as possible."

"I hate the king! He ordered someone to snatch me!" Akao finally said his heart in front of Pingyi, "I have already had someone I like." Her eyes looked at Pingyi with a gentle and charming look.

"Actually, Miss Daji, there is a saying that should not be said or not. In fact, the king stole you, and he had his own difficulties. Since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the regime has been often divided and plundered by royal nobles, and countless innocent people have died. In order to avoid the harm of the people, the king had to consolidate his own power. Marriage with the Yousu family is one of the ways. If you can understand the king, you can let go."

Akao didn't want to listen to these long-term discussions. She was a little troubled by being educated by Pingyi, so she had to say, "Uh... OK, take me in."

Akao was ready to be killed and took a long breath. The incense from the outer hall pounced into her nose, making her body and mind feel extremely happy. She took a few more breaths, and after her mood slowly stabilized and her heartbeat was not so strong, she followed Pingyi into the inner hall.

"Pingyi takes Miss Daji and meet the king!"

The door of the inner hall slowly opened. Pingyi bent down, raised his hands on his forehead, and walked in respectfully. Akao has been urinating in the military camp since he was a child, and rarely pays attention to women's etiquette. He couldn't remember what movements he should do. When she was nervous, she learned the flat posture and entered the hall.

I gently raised the corner of my eyes and looked around. I realized that there were only five people in the inner hall at this moment.

A man dressed in a soldier stood at the door, two maids stood on both sides of the hall, and an eunuch was serving the king.

That person who was well-dressed and majestic must be the supreme commander of the Shang Dynasty - Emperor Xin.

From a distance, the king's appearance has been slightly worse. He seems to have been sick for a long time. Although he is not a bedridden major illness, he also looks like a person who seems to be having minor illnesses.

After kneeling down, the lofty man did not let them get up.

Could it be that he was really angry? Pingyi and Akao were both anxious.

Akao was not as calm as before, and he was too lazy to pretend to be more. There was a timid look in her eyes. She glanced at the king with the corners of her eyes to see what he did.

The king never looked at her, nor did he look at Pingyi, who was also kneeling on the ground. He had been carving something on the silk cloth.

So Akao and Pingyi kept kneeling on the ground, as if they were salted fish hanging on the windowsill.

Sweat began to seep from flat forehead, and seemed a little nervous.

About a quarter of an hour later, the king raised his eyes slightly. Those eyes with empty eyes contained the royal family's heavy responsibilities and the responsibility to the people. They were completely different from a foolish monarch, but rather like a wise monarch.

Although he looks very strict, his temperament is not as terrifying as the folk rumors. If an ordinary woman wants to flatter her, she will definitely hope to flatter her. But Akao is disgusted with the king. At this moment, he still pretends to be respectful and obedient, which is really uncomfortable.

What Daji heard in the folk and military camps were all stories about how the king was arrogant and how he persecuted the people.

Many royal relatives, including their father, Marquis of Xibo, Daji's sister's relatives, Su family, and the king's uncle Bigan, were secretly dissatisfied with the king, and on the surface they were very respectful.

However, first, Pingyi said in person that the king was not that bad. Second, the king did not look so bad. However, the king mentioned by other wise ministers was a person with a lot of evil deeds. Which party was right?

No matter which side is right, it is wrong for the king to snatch herself away. She was angry in her heart.

What she was most angry with was that the king ordered people to snatch Daji's sister into the palace. With this alone, she would never have any favors to the king, no matter what the king had or what his difficulties or helplessness was.

The king's eyes were deep and unpredictable. He looked at Akao and asked softly, "Daji?"

"Yes, king."

"It looks very ordinary, not as beautiful as folk legends."

"Tsk~~" Akao accidentally made a pronunciation that would only be produced in the future, and even she herself didn't know what the pronunciation meant. Perhaps Yuexia's memory had briefly revived in her body.

"Let's go back to your palace first, and I will go and see you later." The king lowered his head again and ignored them.

Pingyi frowned and showed a nervous look at the corner of his mouth.

But Akao breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his whole body, turned his eyes to the side, and smiled at Pingyi.

Pingyi looked downward, but did not look at her.

After the two walked out, Akao smiled and said, "Pingyi, I've passed the test smoothly."

"The king hasn't even taken a fancy to you, how can I pass the test?"

"What I fear most is being taken by the king."

"Okay, according to your irritable personality, if you are really liked by the king, it may be the beginning of bad luck. However, if you are not favored now, there may be dangers."

"I don't care! If someone wants to harm me, I will beat one, and I will beat ten if ten! If a hundred people come, I will ask my family to help."

Pingyi looked at Akao's innocent appearance and sighed: "But the harem is not as simple as you think. This place is like the battlefield, and there are also various conspiracies. Maybe there will be life worries at any time."

"Oh, you just asked me to think about the benefits, but now you are starting to worry about it yourself."

"What does it mean to worry about nothing?"

"Well... I don't know either... but I do have such a word in my mind!" Akao didn't know that she was traveling through time by Yuexia, so some words that had not appeared in the Shang Dynasty always popped up in his mind.

"Oh, anyway, I'm still free first, that's fine!"

Akao stretched out his tongue and jumped toward his palace.

Pingyi shook his head helplessly: "Strange, I have nothing to do with her, why are you worried in your heart?"

Outside Daji Palace, eight palace maids stood in a row to greet them.

Akao opened his arms and ran over. In the Shang Dynasty in this world, she was still a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was really simple.

"Welcome to Empress Daji." The palace maids knelt down, and some of them showed joy on their faces.

"Huh? Where are those two male servants?"

"Nangong didn't have enough staff, so he dispatched them."

"Oh, that's right, I feel inconvenient if I have a man to serve you!"

"However, it will be difficult for some rough and heavy work if only palace maids."

"It's okay, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child. Although I don't have much talent, I have developed a lot of strength. I will just leave those heavy work to me in the future."

The palace maids looked at each other and felt unbelievable by Akao's words.

"Hey? Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly. Moreover, I am not the Empress yet."

"What? Didn't the king enthrone you, girl?" Hongyuan was surprised. In fact, Akao's makeup was mainly made of her. She thought her skills were impeccable, but she didn't expect that she didn't catch the king's eyes.

"Well, he asked me to kneel for a while and then asked me to come back." Akao's tone was particularly relaxed.

"But, our girls are so beautiful, why are they ignored by the king?"
