Xia Chunxiao?"

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

The new emperor said: "Mr. Dongfang has been a Xiangguo for half a month, and it has been more than three months since he entered the current mansion, but Dongfang Mansion has indeed been deserted for more than three months. I thought, it's time to add some people. ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember the day I first met you?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The new emperor nodded.

"Naturally remember. ”

"Do you remember what I said to you when I was about to leave?"

"Which word?"

"I said, she's not an object. If you really have that heart, it is better to find her a good family, and it will not be in vain for her to serve you tea and water. ”

"Mr. Dongfang's memory is really good, and it is even word for word. ”

The new emperor said that, and took another sip.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the new emperor and said, "Since Your Majesty also remembers, you shouldn't say such things again today." ”

"However, I am also doing what you say, aren't you just a good person? marry you who is above ten thousand people under one person, and you are not a bad old man, not only are you not a bad old man, but you are also outstanding in appearance. What's wrong with letting her go to your house?"

The new emperor asked.

After Dongfang Shuo took a deep breath, he said bluntly: "First of all, I don't take concubines. Secondly, I don't want to disappoint anyone, so I won't marry Qiu Yebai or Xia Chunxiao. ”

His words seemed to be full of determination.

With such a tone, the new emperor only felt that it seemed impossible for him to move him.

So, the new emperor paused, then looked directly at Dongfang Shuo and said, "Then what if I say that this is a holy decree?"

"The minister refers to the deer as a horse, not for Your Majesty, so I hope Your Majesty will not think too much. Dongfang Shuo said, "If Your Majesty insists on this, the minister will not obey the decree after all, and I ask Your Majesty not to make a holy decree for such a trivial matter, so as not to damage the authority of the holy decree." ”

As soon as the words fell, he stood up.

"The minister retired. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned around.

And when he passed by Xia Chunxiao, he found that Xia Chunxiao's gaze seemed to deliberately avoid him.

But without thinking too much, Dongfang Shuo left directly.

Watching Dongfang Shuo disappear into the spring garden, the emperor finally let out a long sigh.

"Look at the tea I made for him, he only took a small sip before and after. Perhaps, I actually lost from the beginning. Looking at Dongfang Shuo's cup of tea, the emperor said in a low voice.

At this time, Xia Chunxiao leaned down and knelt down and said, "If Your Majesty wishes, the slave is willing to sacrifice her life to kill Dongfang Shuo." ”

"Are you willing?"

The emperor leaned back in his chair and smiled bitterly at Xia Chunxiao.

Xia Chunxiao raised his head and said something to his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

And seeing Xia Chunxiao pause like this, the bitterness on the emperor's face became a little stronger.

"Alright, get up. I didn't give you this dress, but I didn't ask you to get down on your knees and get it dirty. I'll give you a few more in the future, and I'll find that this kind of clothes are still suitable for you. ”

The Emperor said.

There is no deep meaning in these words, just simple emotion.

But Xia Chunxiao immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much about the slave maid, as long as the slave maid can serve Your Majesty for the rest of her life, she will be satisfied." ”

"For what, to repay the favor?"

The Emperor smiled bitterly again.

She still doesn't know that her benefactor is also the culprit who killed her father and exterminated her clan.

After a pause, the emperor said, "I said, get up, don't get your skirt dirty." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

When the words fell, Xia Chunxiao was about to get up.

At this time, the emperor looked at her and said, "In the future, you will no longer call yourself a slave in front of me, and I will make you the lord of the Eastern Capital." ”

"Your Majesty......?"

Xia Chunxiao was stunned.

"My meaning has been made clear, do I need to repeat it again?"

The Emperor asked.

Xia Chunxiao immediately shook his head: "No." ”

"In that case, then be grateful. But I don't have to kneel. A smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's face.

Hearing this, Xia Chunxiao's eyes were mixed.

"Slave and maid thanks. ”

Xia Chunxiao said.

The emperor said: "This is not a task, you have no more tasks." Live for yourself, just like Dongfang Shuo told you, live for yourself. ”

"Your Majesty...... No need for slaves...... Me?"

Xia Chunxiao asked.

After the emperor's gaze sank, he nodded, "Yes." I am now a Ninety-Five, and there is no shortage of people around me, so naturally I don't need you anymore. ”

"Then please listen to me one last time. Xia Chunxiao said.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "What words?"

"The first sentence is that every time Your Majesty lies, his eyes will always droop and he will not dare to look directly at the other party. This point is easy for people to take advantage of, and I hope Your Majesty will notice it. ”

Xia Chunxiao said.

The emperor looked at Xia Chunxiao and smiled slightly: "If I notice, how can I let you see that I am lying to you?"

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Xia Chunxiao paused, and then raised his head again and said: "Second sentence, please forgive me for taking the liberty of Your Majesty, during these days, Your Majesty seems to have gradually changed as a person." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The next person is a tool, just use it up. But in recent days, I have repeatedly seen that His Majesty will also care about his subordinates. And he is much gentler in his words and deeds. ”

"Really, is there any?"

"Yes. ”

"Really......"

The Emperor raised his head and looked at the top of the Summer Lake Pavilion.

After a moment of silence, the emperor turned his gaze to Xia Chunxiao again, and said, "You have worked hard for many years. ”

"It's not hard. ”

Xia Chunxiao shook her head.

The emperor said: "Okay, you go outside the palace, choose a good place to buy a mansion, all the money for the purchase is from the palace, there is no need to save money." ”

Xia Chunxiao listened, didn't say much, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

As soon as the words fell, she retreated as usual, and then turned and walked in the direction that Dongfang Shuo had left.

And she had just turned around when the emperor suddenly got up.

"Xia Chunxiao. ”

The Emperor said.

Xia Chunxiao stopped and looked back.

After a pause, the emperor shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing, you can go." ”

"Yes. ”

After Xia Chunxiao answered again, he left.

This time, she really left.

And the emperor, who had already gotten up, walked to the edge of the Xia Lake Pavilion and looked at the happy swimming fish in the Xia Lake, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

......

"Your Majesty wants to marry you?"

Yang Dongsheng was stunned.

"I refused. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

Yang Dongsheng pursed his lips and sighed: "Actually, this should have been a good opportunity. Becoming a family member with His Majesty makes it even more justifiable to do so. ”

"But," Dongfang Shuo looked out the window, "I don't want anyone to be reduced to a tool, and I don't want anyone to lose the full meaning of being a person. Otherwise, everything I have done to change the empire will become an empty talk. ”
