Suddenly, Xue Hainiang, who was named, was stunned, and only then did she step forward and walk behind Nan Jiuxi, and slightly probed to look at the rice paper he was resting on the case.

The willows stand in the wind, the river is covered with bamboo rafts, and on the bank are the houses of the thatched houses, and the weeping children are jumping and frolicking...... He sketched a picture of the people living and working in peace and contentment.

Xue Hainiang only glanced at it lightly, and she had already roughly included the content of the rice paper, she lowered her eyebrows, and her posture was respectful and humble, "If you go back to the emperor, you have drawn it very well." ”

Nan Jiuxi seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with such a perfunctory assessment, and tried to go further, and then he said, "How is it good? ”

Xue Hainiang was stunned, and said loudly, "In the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the children with drooping hair are carefree and laughing, and it is a life that ordinary people in the world yearn for." ”

Nan Jiuxi smiled, stood with his hands in his hands, looked sideways at Xue Hainiang and said: "Before I ascended the throne, I went south to play, and the place I went at that time was Jiangnan, and the scenery I saw was like in a painting...... At that time, I made up my mind that if I ascended the throne as the king of the Southern Dynasty one day, I would make it the same for the whole country of the Southern Dynasty. Speaking of this, he didn't know where to think, but he smiled again, "But when I really ascend the throne as the emperor, when I have the strength and obligation to fulfill all this, I find that it is not easy to make the whole country of the Southern Dynasty clear and the country and the people safe." ”

Xue Hainiang listened to Nan Jiuxi quietly, and the pink fist under the water sleeve was already clenched.

His ideals, this remark, although Nan Jiuxi never mentioned it to her in the previous life, she can know that Nan Jiuxi is like Xue Hainiang, how can she not know what Nan Jiuxi thinks in her heart.

But in fact, ideals and reality are often at odds with each other.

It was only after Nam Jiu-hee ascended the throne that he realized that it was indispensable to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China and consolidate the power of the superior in order to bring peace to the four seas of the south and to make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Xue Hainiang has never denied that Nan Jiuxi is the monarch of a generation of saints, but he has never been a good person who can be entrusted with his life.

For his ideals, for the ideas that once stayed in his mind, Nan Jiuxi can bear the truth of his wife in the world, and can kill countless innocent people.

Xue Hainiang put down her mind and let her properly trimmed nails sink deep into the flesh of her palms, "Slave maid...... Ignorant and afraid to discuss political affairs. I really don't understand your ...... today, Your Majesty."

Nan Jiuxi hooked his lips and smiled, his sideburns were frivolous, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were a little wicked, he only stared at Xue Hainiang's white and greasy cheeks with that burning gaze, and saw that the beauty lowered her head, and never stepped forward to force her to raise her head, "No, my vision is never wrong, you know, I feel that you know me better than any woman in my harem." ”

It is said that women's intuition is more accurate than that of men, but now Nan Jiuxi never thought that it was the other way around.

Xue Hainiang was so frightened that she took three steps back, "The emperor doesn't want to make fun of slaves and maids......"

Nan Jiuxi took two steps forward, and there was only a fist between him and Xue Hainiang, the corners of his mouth rose, and the gaze staring at Xue Hainiang was like a hunter coveting a fierce beast that had no power to resist, "Now that rumors are spreading in the palace, I am really curious, why did this rumor originate......" He paused, and smiled more and more pleasantly, "But now I don't want to, no matter who this rumor comes from or why, I don't care." Xue Hainiang, as my concubine, I promise you supreme honor, it is better than you being plagued by gossip now, ruining your reputation for a lifetime. ”

Xue Hainiang suddenly knelt down on her knees, and the tingling sensation of her knees suddenly touching the ground hit her whole body.

"The slave and maid serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and they have no covetous intentions, and they ask the emperor to take back their orders. ”

The smile on Nan Jiuxi's lips stiffened, his obsidian-like pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground, bowing her head and humbling, with a slender back and fragrant shoulders, but at this moment he could not feel a trace of pity.

Time passed little by little, standing and kneeling in the hall, no one made a sound, and the silence was terrifying.

After a long time, Nan Jiuxi smiled suddenly, "If you don't want to, I'm not a strong person, why should Hai Niang be so frightened." With that, he sat on the Taishi chair as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, and his eyes became colder and colder as he stared at the lines outlined by the thick ink on the rice paper.

"Take it and give it to you, and I will give it to you." His voice was flat, and there was no hint of joy or anger to be heard.

Xue Hainiang hurriedly got up, the stinging pain from her knees almost made her unstable, and she secretly said in her heart that she would have to sew a pair of knee pads another day.

"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for the reward. ”

Xue Hainiang took the rice paper and stepped aside, her heart still pounding and uneasy.

Nan Jiuxi also did not say whether he would no longer mention the matter of accepting her as a concubine. She was afraid that today was just a temporary end to the matter......

She knows Nan Jiuxi's temperament, and if she can't get it, she will inevitably chase for pleasure and never die.

Thinking about it, she refused so decisively today, and I don't know if it was good or ......

I just hope that there won't be too many changes, although she is living a new life, but she gradually discovers that many times she still can't control her own destiny!

Lijiaotang,

In the luxurious and gorgeous hall, there is a dragon burning in the middle of the day, and on the case, there is a purple gold hollow incense burner, and the incense mist is slowly circling, which is the sandalwood that makes people feel calm.

However, Rao is lit with such a calming sandalwood, and the person leaning on the chaise longue is still tense with a pretty and delicate face, and the eyebrows that are outlined so well are that the sadness that cannot be dispersed.

Outside the hall, a hurried footstep sounded, and the visitor entered the hall without even waiting for the report, apparently having received an answer in advance. "The slave and maid greet the mother. "The person who came was Xue Qiaoling's confidant and palace maid.

Xue Qiaoling hurriedly raised her hand to signal her to get up, and hurriedly asked, "How is the investigation going?"

The palace maid replied truthfully, "The slave maid has found out that the rumors began in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and it was the palace maid who served the emperor, first in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and then spread in the palaces. ”

Xue Qiaoling frowned slightly, as if she was a little puzzled, "Since she is a palace maid, why do you want to spread such rumors." ”

The palace maid hesitated for a moment before hesitating: "Xu is...... Jealous that Xue Hainiang was so favored by the emperor in a short period of time and became a celebrity around the emperor?" She paused, and told the truth what she heard from the Heart Cultivation Palace, "The slaves and maids also listened to the palace maids and eunuchs of the Heart Cultivation Palace, saying that before Xue Hainiang came, Ke Ling was very good at pleasing the emperor because of her good looks, although the emperor never ordered her to sleep, nor did he promise her to accept her as a concubine, but the people in the Heart Cultivation Palace thought that Ke Ling would accompany her soon, and never thought that Xue Hainiang would be killed in the middle of the way, but she knew how to please the emperor more than Ke Ling......”
