The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 95 Accompany Me to the Highest Place
On top of a tall building across the street.

The night wind blew Xiao Nanjia's skirt.

The pavilion here is slightly shorter than Wanshoutai. Across the vast night and the bright lights, she raised her head slightly and looked at the elegant lady standing in the dimly lit area. There was no respect in her eyes.

Lu Yuan came over with hot almond tea: "Your Highness."

He followed Xiao Nanjia's line of sight and looked into the distance, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes: "Your Highness, are you really going to do this tonight? What if you regret it in the future..."

"I never regret anything I do." Xiao Nanjia said coldly, "I know very well that this dynasty cannot be overthrown. Only by killing them all can I succeed to the throne. Lu Yu'an, I want to stand at the highest place."

The highest place...

Lu Yu'an lowered his eyelashes and thought of some things in the past.

When Xiao Nanjia was thirteen years old, his temperament was not as extreme as it is now.

She worked very hard and always got first place in every exam in the Imperial College.

It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and Xiao Nanjia took the report card issued by the Imperial College to show it to Empress Ji.

She wanted to prove that she was no worse than the prince.

She wanted Queen Ji to see her presence.

She wanted Queen Ji to be as proud of her as she was of the Crown Prince.

At that time, Empress Ji was entertaining the concubines and court ladies. The women around her were all complimenting Xiao Nanjia on his good studies, riding and shooting skills. Only Empress Ji calmly placed the report card on the table, with no emotion on her face.

He hid in Xiao Nanjia's shadow and heard Empress Ji say quietly, "As a girl, even if her grades are better now, it's only because the boys like to play and give in to her. When she gets older, the boys will concentrate and start to study hard, and she will gradually fall behind. Speaking of which, my son wrote a policy paper the day before yesterday, and I heard that it was well received by several teachers in the Imperial College, and even the emperor praised it after reading it."

Upon hearing this, the female relatives present began to praise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The report card that Xiao Nanjia had obtained with all his effort was pressed under the jade wine jar. The overflowing wine soaked the paper, and the ink words were blurred, and all the words of praise from the teacher could not be seen.

Empress Ji seemed not to notice, and only glared at Xiao Nanjia coldly: "I allowed you to study at the Imperial Academy to cultivate your character, not to let you show off your achievements like a peacock. Nanjia, you should learn from your brother, learn what humility is and what concealment is. I punish you to copy your brother's essay twenty times, leave!"

Xiao Nanjia looked at the report card that was completely soaked with alcohol.

After a long moment, she bowed silently and left the hall.

Xiao Nanjia walked to the Imperial Garden, lying alone on the railing, looking at the koi in the pond: "When I was ten years old, it was my mother's birthday. I gave her a golden hairpin with a phoenix holding a pearl, but she accused me of being extravagant at such a young age, and said that the rice ears given by my brother symbolized a good harvest for the whole country, which was more to her liking. So when I was eleven years old, I gave my mother a bouquet of flowers I picked myself, wishing her a face as bright and beautiful as a peony, but she said that flowers will eventually wither, and accused me of being vicious and cursing her."

It was quiet.

Lu Yu'an came out from her shadow and looked at her silently and sadly.

Xiao Nanjia lowered her eyes: "No matter how hard I try, in her eyes, I am not as good as my brother. Lu Yu'an, I don't understand why I lost. It's ridiculous to deny me just because of my gender."

Lu Yu'an raised his hand to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

Twilight Quadruple.

The moon rose and was reflected in the pond, looking orange as a round moon cake.

Xiao Nanjia said quietly, "When I was a child, on New Year's Eve, the palace set off firecrackers and everyone hid in their mother's arms. Even Xiao Baojing, the unlucky girl who was always bullied, was loved and pampered by her mother, who held her tightly like a treasure. However, my mother only held my brother. I stood by and saw with my own eyes that she gently covered my brother's ears, as if she was afraid that he would be frightened by the firecrackers. Lu Yu'an, among all the brothers and sisters, I was the only one who was left alone... Only I was."

Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with heartache: "Your Highness..."

Xiao Nanjia lowered her head and chuckled, tears falling into her eyes, creating small ripples on the water's surface.

"I think, as long as I am a woman, my mother will never put me and my brother on the same footing." But I don't think I am inferior because I am a woman.

"Lu Yu'an, I don't want to compete with my brother for our mother's love anymore.

"As a woman, I will use all my calculations and means to seek fame, power, status, everything that men seek, to stand at the highest place, so high that even she needs to look up to her."

The thirteen-year-old girl still has a childish look, but her jawline is extremely clean and neat.

As the saying goes, women are water.

But Xiao Nanjia was unwilling to be gentle and affectionate.

She wants to be a sharp ice edge that can pierce through all the unfair ice edges.

She looked at Lu Yu'an seriously: "Do you think that what I said is childish? Will you laugh at me?"

The lights on the other side of the river shine on the water, creating ripples and golden sparkles.

The sixteen-year-old boy has a figure like a slender green bamboo, his eyes are like stars, and his handsome face is always filled with tenderness.

He said: "This is your highness's ambition. A person's ambition should not be laughed at."

"Then will you always stay with me? Accompany me to the highest place."

Lu Yu'an's tone was firm and loyal: "I will always accompany Your Highness until the day when Your Highness achieves his wish."

"Then...pin it!"

"Okay, pull the hook!"

...

Xiao Nanjia was unwilling to copy Xiao Qian's policy paper.

Lu Yu'an copied it twenty times for her and respectfully sent it to Ji Shu's Kunning Palace.

Ji Shu glanced at a few pages and said with a half-smile: "You wrote this for her, didn't you? It seems that she is not convinced by my arrangement after all, and refuses to admit that she is not as good as her brother."

She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yu'an: "I heard that you had physical contact with Nan Jia in the Imperial Garden last night?"

Lu Yuan knelt on the ground: "I dare not."

Ji Shu looked down at him and said, "You lowly people are used to using sweet words to seduce princesses and make them learn bad things. Do you think you can become a royal consort and rise to the top by doing this? Don't you see what you are? You are just a croaking toad in the pond. How can you covet a swan?"

Lu Yu'an lowered his head deeply and said again: "I dare not!"

Ji Shu spoke each word with emphasis: "Although you are the princess's personal guard, boys and girls should not sit together for six years. This palace will punish you with castration, and then you can go back to serve the princess."

Two casual words from the superior determined Lu Yu'an's fate.

He also knew that the Queen was punishing him as a warning to the Fourth Princess.

He forgot how he returned to the Fourth Princess that day.

He only remembered that the sunset that day was very brilliant.

The fourth princess fell down beside his bed and shed tears for him for the first time.
