In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, I heard a little noise, and I knew that Xiao Mo had woken up, Xia Man hurriedly got up and dressed neatly, tied his hair, and walked to the front hall softly, sure enough, a hazy back was already standing in front of the window.

"You woke up early." Xiao Mo turned around, let his long hair gently and softly spread over his shoulders, took a small step, and then went to Xia Man's body, and said softly: "Wait for this king to change clothes."

The breeze blowing from the window carved flowers, stirring Xiao Mo's long hair, gently swept Xia Man's ears, itchy, like goose feathers brushing across the water, stirring up ripples, and also disturbing Xia Man's heart, which suddenly made her blush, but the sky was not yet white, and she couldn't see her strangeness.

Swallowed his saliva unconsciously, tied the belt of his middle coat for him, and was just about to go to get the court clothes, when a joking voice came from the top of his head, "What, aren't you used to serving this king?"

"No, no, I'm just a little clumsy." Xia Man sped up the movement in his hand, but who knew that the more anxious he was, the more he would make a mistake, and he accidentally ripped off the buckle on the court clothes.

Xiao Mo looked at the woman in front of him, couldn't help but shake his head, and said jokingly, "It's better to deduct your monthly case for January." ”

Xia Man's hand trembled, he looked at Xiao Mo resentfully, and was about to open his mouth to justify, but after thinking about it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "King Xie Heng is compassionate, January has passed, and now July will definitely not make any mistakes again." ”

"Foxes that are too cunning are usually hunted." The sound above his head made Xia Man touch his neck.

Looking at the movements of the woman in front of him, Xiao Mo grinned at the corners of his mouth, and then ignored it, put on his coat, and strode towards the door. ”

"Ahh Xia Man rubbed his nose, it must have been blowing the wind, and he felt sour for a while.

The sweet dream in the early morning was disturbed, and Xia Man couldn't sleep, so he simply cleaned up, pushed open the window, took a few breaths of fresh air, and walked out of Yiyun Palace.

Since ancient times, the nobles of Wang Sun are superior, and all the places they use are of the highest quality, Rao is a person like Xiao Mo who does not like luxury, and his Hengwang Mansion is also very special, so he can't attract Xia Man's attention.

Passing through the Yiyun Palace, there is a row of low palaces, looking at the name on the plaque, it is about where Xiao Mo's warbler Yanyan lives, and he sighs in his heart, Xiao Moyan's blessing is not shallow.

Just as Xia Man was in the fugue, a low shout pulled her back to reality, "Presumptuous!"

I saw a woman in blue clothes, coming slowly, and before Xia Man could speak, the woman said, "Who is here?"

"Below is the prince's personal maid, and she has no intention of offending." When Xia Man saw someone coming, he knew in his heart that it must be a certain concubine of King Heng, so he looked at it curiously, and it was indeed a beautiful embryo.

"Bold, don't meet Concubine Feng yet." The maid spoke sharply, and looked at Xia Man with great disdain.

Xia Man bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Meet Concubine Feng." ”

Feng Ruoqing didn't say a word, took a few steps forward, looked at Xia Man carefully, suddenly, pressed close to Xia Man's ear, and said softly: "Since you came back from the barracks with the prince, you will guard your identity." ”

Xia Man secretly sighed that this woman was smart, and just as she was about to speak, Feng Ruoqing preemptively said: "Be cautious, King Heng is fine."

"The side concubine is exquisite, and she is really a good character." is used to seeing the arrogant and jealous concubines in TV novels, and when I see such a woman at first glance, I can't help but feel a little good.

Feng Ruoqing was noncommittal, and took the maid from Yiyun Palace, Xia Man looked at her back, smiled lightly, and went to the side hall in the southwest. Between the shadows of the trees, a beautiful face flashed, as if a light cloud flowed, without a trace.

A corner of the southwest side hall is a dilapidated courtyard, the courtyard is full of osmanthus flowers, almost the small courtyard is blocked, go forward a few steps, only to vaguely see that there is a plaque of 'Yanliang Courtyard', and the surrounding wall is covered with moss, and the large green plants are integrated, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Xia Man was just about to set foot in it, but he heard an indifferent and cold voice, "In a remote place, there is no way forward." ”

Turning around, sure enough, he was still dressed in court clothes, and he must have rushed over after getting off the court, and the desolate place couldn't help but add a little fear to his heart, and the ghost made a god and began to ask for sin, "King Heng forgives his sins and has no intention of offending this place." ”

"Let's go." Xiao Mo stepped forward, took Xia Man's arm and walked back, but he didn't say a word along the way, which made Xia Man feel uneasy.

Not long after, the two walked back to Yiyun Palace, Feng Ruoqing was already waiting inside, and when he saw Xiao Mo, he saluted. Seeing this, Xia Man wanted to retreat to the apse, but was stopped by Xiao Mo, "You stay." ”

"Side concubine, how is the matter that you have been told?" Xiao Mojing sat down, and the side concubine stepped forward and said softly: "The things that the prince ordered the concubine to do have been done."

"Very well, go down."

Concubine Feng retired, raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Man playfully, before she walked out of Yiyun Hall and returned to her bedroom.

"I'm ......" Xia Man was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Mo, "Yanliang Courtyard is cold and unknown, don't go in the future." ”

The book "Collecting Memories: The Former Han Dynasty" says: "The emperor rests in the Yanliang room, sleeps in a dream, and Mrs. Li bestows the emperor with the fragrance of turnips." The emperor was startled, and the fragrance was still on the pillow, and it did not stop for months. "The palace named after 'Yanliang' must have a deep meaning, but seeing Xiao Mo's demeanor now, Xia Man had no choice but to put away his curiosity and respond respectfully: "Yes." And he stood aside, and said nothing.

"Go and get some mung bean soup for this king."

The scorching sun of July shone hotly in the sky, and Rao was in a tree-lined place like 'Hengwangfu', and a layer of fine sweat could also appear.

Looking at the back of Xia Man leaving, the taste of exploration in Xiao Mo's eyes became more and more obvious.

Stepping out of Yiyun Palace, the scorching sun above his head shone down, and the stinging Xia Man couldn't open his eyes, covered his forehead slightly with his hands, and trotted all the way to the kitchen. After waiting for a while, after the kitchen took out the ice cubes stored in the cellar, a bowl of mung bean soup was made to relieve the heat, and I was afraid that the ice cubes in the bowl would melt, so I hurried back.

Halfway through, a woman with bright eyes came to meet her, surrounded by maids holding paper umbrellas and shaking feather fans, so comfortable. Realizing that the woman in front of him might be Xiao Mo's wife and concubine, he saluted and said, "See Madame." ”

"You're Xia Man?" The woman stepped forward and stared at Xia Man, the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile.

"Exactly." Xia Man still maintained the salute movement, but his eyes were the ice cubes in the bowl, if he delayed for a while, the ice cubes would definitely melt.

"Mrs. Ben's rank is second only to the princess, but you only owe a bow, what is the reason?"

Xia Man put down the food plate and respectfully saluted her, "See Madame." ”

After a long time, Xia Mandu didn't get permission to get up, so he looked up, but saw the lady wiping her palm with a sweat towel, completely ignoring herself, really difficult, and said: "The prince is still waiting for the mung bean soup to drink, will the lady send it first, so as not to melt the ice cubes and affect the food." ”

"Don't worry, there are a lot of ice cubes in the kitchen, so I'll pick it up when it melts."

The temperature under the knees can almost ignite the fabric on the body, the sweat behind it has been soaked, and the heat-sensitive Xia Man suddenly came to his temper, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, wives and concubines have been strict, and they are wives, and they can enjoy kneeling and worshipping, although the lady is of high rank, she is only a concubine. Not being sympathetic to the heat and delaying the prince's meal is also the second sin. ”

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and a slap fell on Xia Man's face, Xia Man picked up the mung bean soup at hand and raised it to the lady's face, "It's hot, cool down Mrs." ”

"You ......" the woman's fingers painted with bright red nails pointed straight at Xia Man, "presumptuous!" Someone ...... coming."

Before the words were finished, Xiao Mo's scolding came from behind him: "What kind of system!"

"Lord Wang~" The woman stepped forward, leaning on Xiao Mo's arms delicately, sobbing and almost dying.

Seeing this, Xia Man knelt down, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Dare to ask the prince, concubine Ji Yue, disrespecting the husband, what is the crime?"

"Take Mrs. Qiuyun down and be grounded for half a year." Xiao Mo looked at the person in his arms coldly, and said, "Xia Man will be fined for half a year if he commits a crime." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Without waiting for Qiu Yun to argue, Xia Man spoke first to thank her, without giving her the slightest chance, and let the maid help her back to the dormitory.

After seeing Qiu Yun leave, Xia Man turned around and saw Xiao Mo's uncertain expression and some apprehension, so he followed Xiao Mo without saying a word and entered the hall with him.

The two of them entered the hall with their front and back feet, Xiao Mo sat on the head, and played with the green jade brush on the case, as if waiting for the words of the person in front of him.

Xia Man paced to the front of the case, looked at Xiao Mo cautiously, and then spoke: "She deliberately made things difficult for me first." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Mo didn't raise his head, but only asked, "This king punished you, do you have any complaints?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xia Man hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "The prince is discerning, impartial, and a noble person."

After that, Xia Man raised his eyes and quietly observed Xiao Mo's expression, and sure enough, seeing a smile on his face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clever words are useless." Xiao Mo shook his head, and there was a hint of hatred in his tone.

I don't know what Xiao Mo meant, Xia Man didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of angering him and making himself suffer, so he changed the topic, "I'll go and serve a bowl of mung bean soup to the prince." ”

"No, come here."

Xia Man approached him nervously, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a picture scroll on the case, which was vaguely a picture of a drunken beauty.

"You drew this?" Xia Man looked at the scroll and was secretly praising it, but Xiao Mo handed over a brush, "Inscription." ”

Taking the brush in a daze, Xia Man felt a little inexplicable and asked, "What's the question?"

"Whatever you want." Xiao Mo moved away and watched from the side.

Xia Man held the brush, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Mo, but found that his gaze was uncertain, and he was afraid that there would be trouble again, so he wrote the word 'sleep' in the blank.

"That's it." Xia Man handed the scroll to Xiao Mo, with a loveless attitude, waiting for Xiao Mo to speak.

"Mediocrity." Xiao Mo folded the scroll, put it in his sleeve, sat down, and began to write the article, no longer paying attention to Xia Man, which really made Xia Man angry, but it was not good to have a seizure, so he had to retire.

In Yiyun Palace, it was as quiet as ever, Xiao Mo unfolded the scroll just now, looked at the woman on the painting, and said with some mockery: "Mrs. Xia, it seems that your daughter doesn't know you. ”

After saying that, he placed the scroll in the dark layer, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked out of the hall, and the fog in his heart suddenly rose.
