Chapter 22: Reward

Xiao Mingze came back from the morning court, and unexpectedly saw Xie Wan at the dining table, and his already unsightly face became even more gloomy. Xie Wan was ready to be made difficult, but who knew that when breakfast was finished, Xiao Mingze would not be in trouble.

Xie Wan lowered his eyebrows and asked someone to clean up his things, but Xiao Mingze's deep voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Wan Niang, you stay and study for Gu Yanmo." ”

Xie Wan's figure stiffened, and then he handed the things in his hand to Amber, "Slave obeys." ”

In the hall, Liu Fu also frequently cast his eyes, but Xiao Mingze didn't mean to explain at all, walked straight to the desk, picked up the paperweight and smoothed the rice paper.

Xie Wan followed, rolled up the cuffs a little, scooped up a little water with a silver spoon and put it into the inkstone, and then picked up the ink strip and grinded it slowly, the strength on the wrist was just right, so that the ink would not be too thick or too diluted.

Xiao Mingze chose a wolf's hair, dipped the tip of the pen into the ink, and waited until the tip of the pen was full of ink before pausing on the edge of the inkstone, and then wrote silently on the rice paper until a piece of paper was densely written.

Xiao Mingze put down his pen and turned his head to look at Xie Wan, "I remember that you are a descendant of the Xie family, and your father Xie Shi'an has a good handwriting, but it's a pity...... Let's take a look, how is the lonely character written? ”

Xie Wan's brows couldn't help frowning, but he still endured it, and only glanced at the paper, but he didn't even see what was written, so he replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty's words are flying and phoenixes are dancing, and they are three points into the wood, and they are smooth and natural." ”

Xiao Mingze sneered, "I don't know when Wan Niang will learn to open her eyes and talk nonsense." Then you can tell me what is written in this painting. ”

Xie Wan only said that he was confused, and his mind quickly turned around to think of countermeasures, and he tried to raise his eyes, and sure enough, he could only see the jade jue worn by Xiao Mingze's waist, and the words were blocked tightly by Xiao Mingze.

The smile on Xiao Mingze's lips expanded by two points, "If you don't see it clearly, it's good to say the word Lonely, whether it is intended to compliment or to deceive the king, Wan Niang, you are so careful to weigh it." ”

"The slave doesn't dare, it's just that Your Majesty has the posture of a celestial person, and since she was a child, she has invited famous teachers to teach and learn, and she is talented and intelligent and diligent, and Your Majesty's words are naturally good."

Xiao Mingze snorted and sneered again, "It's really a smart lip and teeth, no wonder the queen mother called you." ”

Liu Fu has been listening vigilantly, seeing that the momentum is not right, he hurriedly asked the few people who were waiting in the hall to withdraw, and he himself was also guarding the place close to the palace gate, not daring to listen closer.

Xie Wan listened to everyone retreat in order, but he still hung his head and said respectfully, "The Queen Mother cares for Your Majesty, and the slave maid is just lucky." ”

Xiao Mingze sat down, and Xie Wan also saw the Taoguang Yanghui written on the rice paper.

"That's a good thing you said, even if there is no Xie Wan, there will be Zhang Wan and Li Wan. I'm just thinking, maybe the queen mother likes your sharp teeth, but Lone doesn't like it. ”

Xie Wan hung his head as if he hadn't heard it, but Xiao Mingze refused to reveal it, he looked up at Xie Wan, but saw that half of Xie Wan's face was hidden in the shadows, and he could only see Xie Wan's ruddy lips, which were pursed tightly at the moment.

"Wan Niang, raise your head and let Gu take a good look."

Xie Wan paused but still looked up obediently, and a white face fell into Xiao Mingze's eyes, Xiao Mingze took a closer look, and nodded to himself, "Hibiscus is like a willow like an eyebrow, and the daughter of the Xie family is indeed a good look." If you are poisoned, it is not bad to stay by your side and watch. ”

Xie Wan felt that something was wrong, so he had to kneel down, "Your Majesty rewards, slaves and maids are grateful." ”

Xiao Mingze's eyebrows frowned, and he quickly stretched out again, leaned down and picked up Xie Wan's jaw, forcing her to look at herself, "What if Lone is replaced by a glass of wine." ”

Xie Wan saw Xiao Mingze's face clearly for the first time, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes were three-dimensional, with clear contours, especially the long eyelashes, but now the eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, making it impossible to ignore the momentum around him.

Xie Wan looked at Xiao Mingze fixedly, extremely calm, "Thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, slaves and maids, thank you for your majesty's reward." ”

Xiao Mingze looked at Xie Wan fixedly for a while, and his fingertips pinched Xie Wan's jaw, quite hard, "Are you really not afraid of anything?" If the Xie family is still there, you naturally don't have to be a slave, but now you have sold all your life to the queen mother. If Xie Xiangquan has knowledge......"

"The son is silent, and the father is angry because of his sin."

Xiao Mingze smiled angrily, his eyes moved down from Xie Wan's face, stopped his gaze at the lip flap, and his fingertips gently stroked it and grinded it, Xie Wan's lips were even more rosy.

"The queen mother has always wanted to draft a concubine and open up branches for the royal family, so it is better for Wan Niang to take on this heavy responsibility."

Xie Wan's pupils lost his mind for a moment, "How can a slave and maid be worthy of giving birth to an heir." ”

Xiao Mingze saw Xie Wan's expression in his eyes, and a smug smile appeared on his lips, "You don't want to?" Oh - I remembered that the Xie family had a close relationship with the Marquis of Wucheng back then, and Wan Niang was interested in someone. ”

Xie Wan's eyes became clear for a moment, and he raised his eyes to meet Xiao Mingze's looking eyes, and smiled a little brightly, "The slave and maid have entered the palace, and I don't remember all the things before, if Your Majesty wants the slave and maid, the slave and maid will naturally kneel and thank God." ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Mingze's hand pinching Xie Wan's jaw really relaxed his strength.

"Lonely people don't like to talk a lot, especially when they are alone. Wan Niang is naturally fearless when she is alone, but there are dozens of lives in the Marquis Wucheng Mansion, and everything should be weighed more. ”

Xiao Mingze swept the look on Xie Wan's face, "Even though there is no real power in the lonely hands, it is still the master of the exile of the lord." Or, the county lord of Fu'an will be able to meet the mind of the queen mother and the mind of the orphan next year. ”

Xie Wan's fingertips pinched into her palm, and she bowed down, "The slave must be cautious in her words and deeds, and say less and do more." ”

Xiao Mingze sat up straight at this time, and stopped looking at Xie Wan, "I'm looking forward to your performance, let's go out." ”

Xie Wan retreated, but Xiao Mingze stared at Xie Wan's back with some annoyance, and only complained that Xie Wan didn't enter.

"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to stay around."

Xiao Mingze's gaze fell, and the paper-covered Taoguang Yanghui came into view, and he chuckled. There is no one in this world who is without weaknesses, but some are hidden deeply, and some are shallow.

Xiao Mingze picked up the pen and crossed out all the words on the paper, and finally threw the paper aside. Sit down and look up and close your eyes, there is silence in the Ganquan Palace.

Liu Fu, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, this errand is getting more and more difficult.
