Xiao Mingze's voice was not loud, but it made Xie Wan's heart tighten, she pursed her lips, her voice was still the same calm and calm, "Everything naturally comes according to Your Majesty's wishes, and the slaves and maids advise according to the palace rules but dare not trespass, let alone beak Your Majesty's decision." ”

After Xie Wan finished speaking, he waited for a long time and didn't wait for Xiao Mingze's next words, so naturally this topic was also closed. However, Xiao Mingze's gaze fell on the top of Xie Wan's hair through the curtain of the sedan chair, his eyebrows were twisted together, and his palms unconsciously tightened a little.

Xie Wan seems to be like this forever, calm and calm, just like what is said in the book, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. Only when he mentioned the Shen family that he caught Xie Wan's rare panic, Xiao Mingze's eyes darkened a little, but there was an idea in his heart that kept surging and forming.

Is there anything that can pull Xie Wan out of this dignified and dignified mask, whether he is panicked, laughing and scolding, in short, he must be like a living person, not like a clay statue of a Bodhisattva.

After that, Xiao Mingze clicked in order according to the level of his name, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

That day, Xiao Mingze sat in front of the bookcase and flipped through the book and sent a stack of folds from the Empress Dowager Zhao, which was the same as every day's folds, a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

Amber took the teacup and softly served it on the table, then stood silently aside, Xiao Mingze looked at it seriously, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then frowned and turned his head to look to the side, only then opened his lips and paused, "What about Xie Wan?" ”

Amber looked at Xiao Mingze's appearance and his heart tightened, lowered his head and replied honestly, "The end of the month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Xie Gongling has been preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Shanggong Bureau for the past few days." ”

Xiao Mingze nodded and put his gaze back on the music, twisted his eyebrows and took another sip of tea, but the center of his eyebrows tightened tighter, and there was a slight pain in his forehead. He casually put the tea cup aside and waved his hand, "It doesn't taste right, let's make another cup of tea." ”

Amber's heart skipped a beat, she put the teacup down and went back to the apse, took out the note left by Xie Wan, read it carefully, and boiled the tea step by step.

In front of Xiao Mingze, Xiao Mingze took a shallow sip and put it aside, "Withdraw it, Lone is not thirsty now." ”

Amber trembled and took the teacup and was about to go out, but Xiao Mingze suddenly said, "When Xie Wan comes back, ask her to come to see Gu." ”

It was already afternoon when Xie Wan returned to Ganquan Palace, holding a thick pile of books in his arms, even if his face was as calm as usual, he could not hide the fatigue between his brows. Amber saw Xie Wan and hurriedly greeted him, taking the scroll in Xie Wan's hand.

"My sister is back."

Xie Wan raised his lips and smiled, divided the scroll in half and gave it to Amber, and walked towards his small room side by side. "But what's wrong?"

Amber sighed, and there was a sad look between her eyebrows, "In the morning, I served tea to Your Majesty, and even made two lamps according to what my sister said, but Your Majesty said that it was not right, and I ordered to wait for my sister to come back to see Your Majesty." ”

Amber's brows furrowed, and she hesitated a little more when she spoke, "My sister is also tired these days, and I haven't been able to share it for my sister...... It's amber useless. ”

Xie Wan pushed open his room door and put the scroll on the table, and patted Amber's hand gently, "It's not a big deal, don't take it to heart, you were just as good as you were when I was away in the past, but don't be presumptuous." I'll go see Your Majesty later, you go and get busy." ”

Xie Wan persuaded Amber away, stood alone in the room and exhaled, picked up the kettle and poured a few large sips of cold water, the burning in his throat was relieved a lot, turned his head and straightened his dress and went to the apse to make tea himself, and went to see Xiao Mingze with the teacup.

"Please have tea with Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to tell you to find a slave."

Xiao Mingze took the teacup and drank half of it in one go, his eyebrows that had been twisted loosened, but he glanced at Xie Wan, who was bent over, and his brows immediately tightened again.

Xiao Mingze put the teacup aside and said in a deep voice, "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held every year, and there has always been a practice in the palace, don't take the opportunity to be lazy when you go to the Shanggong Bureau every day." ”

Xie Wan bowed his knees, and his voice was gentle, "The slave and maid don't dare, but this year there are people in the harem, that is, the seats will be rearranged, and all the complicated things are handled by the slave and maid for the first time, so they are more careful and don't dare to slack off and make mistakes, and please let Your Majesty know." ”

said this, but Xie Wan couldn't understand what Xiao Mingze meant, the operation of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet did take some effort, but he didn't do the Empress Dowager Zhao's business, so why bother calling himself for a cup of tea.

Xiao Mingze didn't squeak, Xie Wan thought about it for a while and continued, "The slave maid has really been slack on duty in the past few days, and the slave and maid will rearrange the adjustment time and no longer delay the errand in front of the emperor." ”

Xiao Mingze still didn't squeak, he picked up the tea cup and took another sip, obviously it was the same tea treatment, but it was different from the current one. Xiao Mingze's gaze fell on Xie Wan, his brows became tighter and tighter, he had noticed Xie Wan's exhaustion as early as when Xie Wan came in.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Mingze lowered his eyes and waved his hand, "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a major event, and hundreds of civil and military officials will also enter the palace to congratulate, since you are busy these days, you don't have to wait in front of the palace, go down." ”

"The slave and maid obey the order, and will not disappoint Your Majesty."

Xie Wan replied smoothly, and when he took a few steps back and turned around to step out of the palace gate, he suddenly came to his senses again, Xiao Mingze exempted her from serving in front of the palace, instead of asking her to take care of both ends and secretly give Xie Wan a problem.

Xie Wan walked out of the hall and looked back, and saw Xiao Mingze's serious expression through the window, and was amazed in his heart, this master actually had a day of great mercy, unlike a few months ago, he hated to ask Xie Wan to break it into three people by himself.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was scheduled for dinner, and it was still in the Taiye Pool, and Xie Wan took the first step to arrange it and stayed at the gate of the main hall of the Taiye Pool to wait for someone to come.

Naturally, it doesn't matter where the front is going, the first one to arrive in the harem is Xia Jinghong, Xie Wan saw someone and made a half-salute, "Xia Niangzi is fine." ”

Xia Jinghong also blessed Xie Wan, his face was as bright as a peach and plum, like a spring flower, the flowers were dazzling, and he was also the most eye-catching one in the crowd.

"The lady's seat is over there."

Xie Wan pointed sideways to the end of the concubine's seat, still smiling faintly, Xia Jinghong nodded and said thank you and sat straight over, without the slightest shame or unwillingness to sit at the end.

After another period of waiting, the seats gradually filled up, only Zhao Mei's position was still vacant, and the loud voice of the small yellow door came from the door, "The Queen Mother has arrived-", "Your Majesty has arrived-".
