The following time was silent. Nangong Hao was indeed meticulously reading the memorial. His face was occasionally happy, occasionally angry, and most of the time, he was silent. Luo Ya looked at it carefully from the corner of her eyes. Perhaps it was the aura of a king. It was fine if Nangong Hao was angry or happy. It was the scariest when he sat there without moving and expressionless. Who knew what he was thinking about?
Roya stood quietly and carefully at the side as she grinded the ink. The black liquid emitted a strong ink fragrance as it spread from Roya's fingertips. After a while, she had finished grinding the ink. Roya could only stand quietly at the side, trying her best not to make a sound.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but the hall remained quiet. Loya could clearly count her heartbeat. This kind of environment made her a little nervous. It seemed that accompanying the emperor as a servant was not a good job. If he was not careful, his head would move. Looking at the quiet atmosphere in Yangxin Palace Hall all year round, he reckoned that this class was purely a psychological tactic. If she could not speak a word all year round and had to be extremely careful with her breathing, Roya felt that she would definitely go crazy.
"Reed." Nangong Hao seemed to call out casually, but when he turned around and saw that it was Luo Ya, the joy on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced with indifference. Loya was helpless. Was her face so unlikable? Was this the reaction of the person she saw?
But thinking about it, Luo Ya still asked in an extremely low voice,"Do you want me to go and summon Eunuch Li?"”With the lesson from the previous incident, Luo Ya had learned her lesson. She knew that Nangong Hao was not to be provoked. Therefore, she must not use modern language and etiquette in front of him. Otherwise, not to mention that he looked at her in a new light, if she did not go well, she would be pushed out and killed. It seemed that those novels about the female protagonist doing something novel to win the emperor's favor and living a good life were all fake and unrealistic.
Nangong Hao shook his head, indicating that Luo Ya did not need to call him. He glanced at the memorials on the table that had been mostly read before getting up to leave. He expected that Chen Ji would act up again when he got up. Nangong Hao used his hand to support the imperial table, but his head leaned towards Luo Ya's small shoulder...
She did not faint like last time, but she had a very uncomfortable headache. Luo Ya was also shocked for a moment, but she knew that this might be Nangong Hao's private matter, so she was not in a hurry to call for help. Nangong Hao was also quite surprised at this point. He was originally worried that she would call for help and wanted to give her some advice. However, when he saw that Luo Ya was calm in the face of danger, he was slightly surprised. After that, he actually felt happy for his decision. She was indeed a promising talent. It seemed that it was right for him to keep her alive for the time being.
Fortunately, she had brought along a sachet made of mint, leaves, Angelica dahurica, and other Chinese medicinal herbs. Without thinking, Luo Ya took it out and placed it in front of Nangong Hao's nose. This was originally meant to refresh the mind and blood circulation. Luo Ya originally wanted to make it for herself to use as an air freshener when she went to the toilet. She did not expect it to take effect at this time.
Nangong Hao did not know what Luo Ya had given him, but in an instant, he felt that his headache had been reduced by more than half. He did not feel the intense discomfort from before. He was also curious. After all, this girl was still a stranger in front of him, but he was actually relieved to smell the sachet she handed him. Wasn't he afraid that it was poisonous?
"Is the emperor better?" Luo Ya saw that Nangong Hao's brows had relaxed a little, so she asked softly. Nangong Hao nodded but did not say anything.
After sitting properly again, Nangong Hao began to carefully size up Luo Ya until Luo Ya felt that she was at a loss where to stand and did not continue to look.
"What reward do you want?" Before Luo Ya could react, Nangong Hao returned to his usual attitude and spoke to Luo Ya casually.
If she could, Luo Ya really wanted to scratch Nangong Hao's face with her claws. I have received modern higher education, so I know what a doctor's heart is. I know what it means to lift a finger. Now you're talking about rewards. Do you think I had a motive for doing that?
She felt wronged, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she calmly said,"Since the Emperor is willing to reward me, then give me some silver."”Loya never doubted that he had a lot of money.
Nangong Hao once again sized up Luo Ya carefully. His dark jade-like eyes were filled with disappointment. So she was just so-so. What was the difference between her and those people in the palace? People, once they entered the palace, they no longer had themselves.
"Alright, I will reward you with fifty taels of silver.”Nangong Hao agreed immediately, causing Luo Ya's heart to beat fast. Fifty taels, plus the two hundred taels she had previously, eh, why was it two hundred and fifty…What an awkward number. However, Luoya was still content with the fact that the prices of goods in this dynasty were relatively low. Two hundred taels of silver was enough for a small family to live for several lifetimes!
Nangong Hao looked coldly at the ecstatic Luo Ya, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain. Just as he was about to ask Luo Ya to leave Yangxin Palace Hall and return to Nianlu Courtyard, Luo Ya opened her mouth and said in a negotiating tone,"Can Your Majesty only reward me with 30 taels of silver? The other 20 taels of silver can be used to set up a stool for me in Yangxin Palace Hall?" Seeing the doubt in Nangong Hao's eyes, Luo Ya immediately changed her words,"Of course, a kneeling mat will do too!"”When there was no one around, it was better to kneel than to stand all day! Standing for too long would cause hemorrhoids!
Nangong Hao didn't expect Luoya to say that. He looked at Luoya, who was looking at him nervously. After a while, he said," No, there has never been a rule in the palace that a servant can sit in front of his master."”
Loya looked at Nangong Hao with her mouth wide open.
Was this the reason why she sat on the dragon throne just now? Was it because Yangxin Palace Hall had fewer decorations and there were no other chairs to sit on? Thinking of this possibility, Nangong Hao couldn't help but want to laugh. Even if there were chairs in Yangxin Palace Hall, it wouldn't be her turn to sit. However, she had been in the palace for so long, and those rules seemed to have been taught for nothing. Although she seemed to have restrained herself from following the rules on the surface, she was always caught by him making mistakes.
Yes, he was really an unscrupulous person. Although he was very afraid of his master, once he encountered a life and death situation, he would definitely not care about his own safety. This was Nangong Hao's evaluation of Luo Ya after seeing her a few times. Ever since she had unknowingly recited Bai Juyi's "Song of the Pipa," this ordinary-looking young lady had been remembered by Nangong Hao.
