At this moment, Mu Jingzhao finished plowing, and the two sleeves of the dark gold python robe with exquisite embroidery were pulled high to the elbows, revealing a small section of strong and powerful elbows.

The hands that had just been washed hung naturally at his side, and a red mark left by the handle of the hoe slanted in his palm, subtly connecting his tiger's mouth with the wrist on the other side.

Occasionally, a few drops of water slid down his fingertips and fell to the ground, leaving two puddles of water on the ground.

Even though he was full of physical strength, the long-term mechanical operation still made some fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and a few strands of broken hair sticky on his forehead, which only increased a little embarrassment.

"I was really upset that the people were making a lot of noise there, so they closed the door and didn't drive anyone away."

Even though he was extremely tired, Mu Jingzhao still had a straight posture and forced himself to explain to Jiang Ning.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ning was still indulging in the fact that the silver she had received flew away out of thin air, she glared at Mu Jingzhao, obviously, she didn't believe that the other party could be so polite to her subordinates.

"You've closed the door, isn't this driving people away?"

Mu Jingzhao was inexplicably choked by Jiang Ning, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly reacted, he is the emperor, let alone let the subordinates leave, even if they let them roll from here to the gate of the city gate, so what?

"What if I drive people away? Talking so loudly about the master's affairs, I have not punished them, but I am already open, is it possible that I still have to commit myself to coaxing and persuade them to go? ”

Jiang Ning has never had any distinction between high and low in her heart, she has been in the palace for so long, she has no rules, and gradually she can't remember that there is a moat between herself and Mu Jingzhao.

I don't know if Mu Jingzhao's arrogant appearance made her a little unhappy, or the disappearance of the silver in her hand made her sentimental, or the grievance of being let down by helping the other party win people's hearts.

Or maybe it's all three.

In short, a nameless anger rose from Jiang Ning's heart, she glared at Mu Jingzhao, and craned her neck as if she was unwilling to admit defeat.

"I worked hard to help you win people's hearts and let people know that you are sympathetic to your subordinates, and you are so sympathetic to your subordinates?"

Mu Jingzhao was startled by Jiang Ning's suddenly raised voice, but then, he came back to his senses, and a little anger appeared in his eyes.

You must know that he has always been His Majesty the Emperor who has been favored by thousands of people, and in the whole world, anyone who sees him has to kneel three times and knock nine times.

Don't say it's scolding him, don't dare to have even a little disrespectful look.

And now, he was actually pointed at his nose and scolded, and he was scolded by a despicable storyteller on the street.

A nameless anger rose from the bottom of Mu Jingzhao's heart, his face was gloomy and terrifying, he lowered his head and looked directly into Jiang Ning's eyes, his dark eyes could not show the slightest emotion.

"What is your identity, and you dare to talk to me like that?"

The coercion around Mu Jingzhao made Jiang Ning tremble a little, and this sudden sense of oppression seemed to instantly pull Jiang Ning back to reality.

In a trance, she felt like she was back in the night when she was forced to marry as a substitute, the Emperor Majesty who threw his life out of the room and sent him to the cold palace lightly.

Even so, she still looked up at Mu Jingzhao without being humble or arrogant.

Her disobedience towards Mu Jingzhao was not because she forgot her identity, but because in her heart, the people were far higher than the emperor.

The country has the people first and then the monarch, and the monarch is the choice of the people.

Therefore, the people are far above the monarch.

Jiang Ning still looked up at Mu Jingzhao without humility or arrogance, and there was no cowardice in his eyes, "I am the emperor's subject." ”

Mu Jingzhao stepped forward in two steps, and the huge sense of oppression formed by the height difference between the two made Jiang Ning a little breathless.

He glared at Jiang Ning, and that gaze almost flayed her alive.

"Subjects? Since you know that you are a subject, you should follow the duty of a subject, be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and the first thing is to be loyal to the monarch. ”

Mu Jingzhao's compelling gaze made Jiang Ning a little breathless.

Even so, she still stubbornly stiffened her neck and refused to bow her head.

But at this time, she was no longer willing to continue arguing with Mu Jingzhao.

Because she knew that everything that this person who was far away at the peak saw was not the same world as what a person like herself who was at the bottom of the world saw.

No matter how much she shouted, no matter how much she called, he couldn't hear his own voice.

Finally, Jiang Ning lowered his head a little weakly and took the initiative to withdraw in this confrontation.

After all, even if she had the intention to help Mu Jingzhao repair his relationship with his subordinates, it was an indisputable fact that she used Mu Jingzhao's name to make money for herself.

She exhaled heavily, and a voice like a mosquito flew out of her mouth, "The concubine knows, and the concubine will remember her identity." ”

With that, she turned away and said no more.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning completely turned around and left that Mu Jingzhao came back to his senses in hindsight, his expression was confused, and he didn't seem to realize what had just happened.

At this moment, his hands had completely dried up, and the small pool of water under the palms had disappeared.

After a long time, Mu Jingzhao finally came back to his senses, he slowly walked to the talking table set by Jiang Ning and sat down, and the whole person was weakly paralyzed.

In the other corner, Zhe Liu trembled and watched the two of them quarrel like a needle and a wheat, and then quickly ran into the house with Jiang Ning.

"Mother." Zheliu cautiously shouted Jiang Ning, and without waiting for the other party to respond, she took the lead in pushing open the door and walked in.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was facing the wall, and the whole person was curled up on the bed, quietly as if he was asleep.

Zheliu hesitated for a moment, slowly walked to Jiang Ning's bed and sat down, and put his palm on Jiang Ning's shoulder with some hesitation, "Are you awkward with the emperor?" ”

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, she wasn't sad or even angry.

At this moment, there was just a faint disappointment hanging over her heart.

Whether it's herself, or Mu Jingzhao, or the country.

She couldn't tell.

However, at this moment, Zheliu only regarded it as two small mouths arguing and flirting, and did not take this matter to heart.

"Don't take it to heart, our emperor's temper is like that, you have to take care of it." Zheliu's voice was soft, and the fingertips covering Jiang Ning's arm were lightly tapped, as if he was comforting a wayward child.

Jiang Ning was full of helplessness and didn't know how to solve it, and in the end, she couldn't bear to turn over and walked quickly to the side drawer.

She opened the drawer, took out the bulging money bag from it, and stuffed it into Ori Liu's hand angrily.

"Help the palace take this thing and return it to the emperor."
