Chapter 31 The Queen is in a Good Mood
Upon hearing that the Grand Tutor was also involved, Mo Cangyan paused while writing.
Feng Xiyao thought he was too tired, so she put down her hands that were grinding ink and gave him a shoulder massage to please him.
"Your Majesty, please don't be too tired. You can review all these memorials tomorrow. We need to combine work with rest. Otherwise, if you collapse from exhaustion, it will be a waste of time!"
[Of course, I also want to take a break. I can’t stand you coming here every day! ]
Mo Cangyan felt her massaging him, and his originally tense spirit relaxed.
Hearing her thoughts, he somehow managed to curl his lips and smile.
Kong Xueer was standing at the door holding a cup of tea. Seeing the emperor squinting his eyes and enjoying the massage given by the queen, she walked in.
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold. Have a cup of tea to warm your stomach!" Kong Xueer picked up the tea and handed it over.
Mo Cangyan took a sip of the drink and said, "All of you go down. I want to rest with the Queen!"
Kong Xueer looked at Feng Xiyao unwillingly, turned and left. When she reached the door, she looked back and saw the Queen looking at the Emperor with a smile, and she didn't know what she said.
Remembering that the Emperor had been staying at the Empress's place for the past few days, she gritted her teeth and left.
Feng Xiyao could feel that Kong Xueer liked Mo Cangyan, but she didn't understand why Mo Cangyan, who was always decisive, would keep her by his side.
Mo Cangyan saw that she was looking at the direction where Kong Xueer left, and asked, "Does the Queen not want Kong Xueer to get too close to me?"
Feng Xiyao came back to her senses and waved her hands: "No, as long as the emperor likes it, don't consider me!"
“…”
Mo Cangyan just asked her casually, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. He suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
He sneered: "The Queen is so generous!"
Feng Xiyao looked at him in confusion: "...It's as it should be. This is my duty!"
"Duty?" Mo Cangyan looked at her deeply: "If that's the case, then shouldn't the Queen also fulfill her duties as a wife!"
"What?"
Without waiting for Feng Xiyao to react, Mo Cangyan picked her up and walked towards the bed.
Feng Xiyao stretched out her hands to embrace Mo Cangyan, and looked at her with a pair of beautiful and clear phoenix eyes.
After being put on the bed, Feng Xiyao realized what he was talking about and tried to push him away with a red face.
The Great Xia people value martial arts, and most men are as strong as bears with unlimited power. Mo Cangyan is a typical example. He looks gentle and handsome, and when he takes off his yellow robe, his muscular body is simply perfect and strong. He can hold Feng Xiyao tightly with just a stretch of his long arms.
At this time, the two of them were very close to each other, and Mo Cangyan could even see her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Feng Xiyao caught a glimpse of the figure standing at the door and immediately understood what he was going to do. She put on a charming smile, pulled the man off her, and then shouted coquettishly.
"Your Majesty, you are so annoying!"
Outside the door, Kong Xueer blushed when she heard this, and cursed in her heart: How can a woman like the Queen do this!
Mo Cangyan followed Feng Xiyao's line of sight and saw the figure on the window. He knew that she had said it on purpose for the people outside to hear, and a hint of a smile appeared in his deep eyes.
She said she didn't care, women always say one thing and mean another!
However, Feng Xiyao was one of the few women he had contact with but did not dislike. Mo Cangyan thought that if she did not do anything against the law, and after he had resolved all his problems, he would be willing to give her freedom!
Feng Xiyao didn't let go of Mo Cangyan until the people outside left.
"Your Majesty, the person has left!"
Mo Cangyan raised an eyebrow at her: "And then?"
Feng Xiyao gestured to him to hold her hands: "You can let me go now!"
“…”
Early the next morning.
When Feng Xiyao opened the door, she saw heavy snow flying in the air like goose feathers, and she shouted in surprise.
“It’s snowing!”
Ruyi came in and put a warm cloak on her.
"My lady, you must take care of yourself!"
Looking at the heavy snow in the house, Feng Xiyao smiled with her eyes curved. As a little kid from the south, seeing such heavy snow was very attractive to her.
"It's snowing, does that mean it's New Year's Day?"
Ruyi adjusted her cloak and nodded, "Of course! The Great Summer Spring Festival is on the first day of the first lunar month every year, and there are still about twenty days to go!"
Feng Xiyao nodded in understanding.
In the Purple Gold Palace.
"Your Majesty, we have searched the entire mountain, but we still can't find that person. He is clearly injured, but no one has seen him!"
After hearing the news from Qin Fang, Mo Cangyan pinched his brows helplessly, and spoke after a long while: "Let's put this matter aside for now. How is Xiao Feng's investigation going on with the scientific examination?"
Xiao Feng on the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have found a man named Jiang Jue who has evidence of Kong Lu's oppression of the common people and those high-ranking officials' corruption and favoritism. But he was hunted down a few days ago and his whereabouts are still unknown! And..." At this point, Xiao Feng paused.
Mo Cangyan frowned: "What's wrong?"
"I have heard that Jiang Jue seems to have some friendship with the Empress!"
Mo Cangyan's eyes flashed fiercely: "Are you friends with the queen?"
Xiao Feng nodded!
Mo Cangyan had never heard Feng Xiyao mention Jiang Jue. His brows were cold and he said, "Xiao Feng, this person is very important. I order you to find this person no matter what method you use!"
Xiao Feng: “Yes!”
…
"Hahaha, Ruyi, come here!"
Feng Xiyao held a snowball in his hand and shouted proudly to Ruyi.
There were several snow marks on Ruyi's cloak, and she chased Feng Xiyao and beat him up in dissatisfaction.
When Mo Cangyan walked to the Yu Garden, he heard the sound of two people playing. He looked over and saw a snowball thrown at him. He raised his hand to block it, and the snowball hit his fox fur hard.
Ruyi noticed Mo Cangyan with her sharp eyes and stopped quickly.
"Your servant...sees His Majesty!"
Feng Xiyao looked over and saw Mo Cangyan standing in the distance, and immediately threw the snowball in his hand down.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Mo Cangyan looked at her red, frozen hands, raised his feet and walked towards her, then stopped in front of her.
"The Queen is really interested!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to have a snowball fight?" Her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and there was a hint of happiness in her words.
“…”
Mo Cangyan frowned. Did he show that he wanted to have a snowball fight?
He turned around and signaled to Eunuch Hai behind him: "Tidy up the pavilion. I want to play chess with the Queen!"
Feng Xiyao: [I don’t know how to play chess! ]
Under the pavilion, the floor is covered with thick fluff, and there are several charcoal braziers in the corner. It is surrounded by gauze to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. You can also drink tea while watching the snow.
After they sat down, before the two had time to play chess, Lin Baoning came over following the smell.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
When Feng Xiyao saw her, she felt like she had seen a savior, and immediately stood up: "Concubine Li is here, it's just right for us to play chess together. My hand was frozen just now, so I need to slow down a bit!"
Lin Baoning didn't expect Feng Xiyao to be so thoughtful this time. He walked over proudly and sat in the seat she had just sat in, and said sweetly, "Cousin, let's go together!"
Mo Cangyan originally wanted to ask Feng Xiyao about Jiang Jue, but as more and more people came, he had to give in.
