The man asked incredulously, "You...you really want me to go and provide relief to the disaster victims?"
Feng Guang smiled and said, "Why not? There aren't many fools like you who are willing to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good."
Is this comment praising him or mocking him? But no matter which one it is, it's infuriating to hear.
“By the way, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get there without some kind of proof, and I’m too lazy to draft an imperial edict.” She thought for a while, then had a sudden inspiration. She bent down and lifted her skirt, revealing her fair and snow-white ankles.
Because she was standing right in front of the man, he could see her very clearly. He blushed and asked, "What are you doing?!"
"Here's a token for you." Feng Guang took off the anklet, and with a glance, the Imperial Guard released the man's hand. The man stood up, and she casually tossed the anklet to him. "It's inlaid with a mermaid pearl, which only I have in the world. You can use this as your token."
There was indeed a white, transparent bead on the silver anklet, but it was still warm from her body heat. He held it and it felt burning hot, and his face inexplicably flushed.
“Sister, I also want to go to Dongyang City.” Xia Fengya stepped forward, her small face full of curiosity. “I want to go outside the palace and see for myself, and also to experience the hardships of the people.”
Feng Guang would find her words more credible if she didn't keep her eyes fixed on the man.
"Suit yourself, go if you want." Feng Guang chuckled and turned around. "Xiao Wo, Xiao Hao, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liao, let's go back to the palace."
The four palace maids answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
She had only taken one step when Feng Guang stopped again. She turned her head slightly, her dark hair brushing against her neck, her profile as beautiful as a painting. "Whoever blocks your way, you shall kill them, Mu Liang. You must not disappoint me."
After saying that, she gracefully walked away, leaving only a beautiful silhouette.
He was lost in thought. "How does she know my name?"
"Isn't it written on your sword?" Xia Fengya pointed to the sword in his hand. Sure enough, the words "Mu Liang" were engraved on the long sword.
Mu Liang: "..."
When the moon first rose, the lake was filled with lotus lanterns. Today is Qixi Festival, and young women all hope to find a good marriage. In the past, the palace did not allow these lanterns to be displayed, but after the Empress ascended the throne, she not only relaxed many requirements, but also allowed palace maids and eunuchs to leave the palace after they turned twenty-five. The resentment in the palace seemed to have lessened considerably.
Feng Guang sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, her hand resting on the table and her chin propped up. "You four go and have fun too, you don't need to come with me."
The four palace maids exchanged glances, and the eldest one said, "But our duty is to protect His Majesty."
"Just don't go too far. One assassin has only been here a short time. If a second assassin appears, Chief Qian can forget about being the commander of the Imperial Guard. You can go now, let me have some peace and quiet."
"Yes... Your Majesty, if you need anything, just give the call."
"Mmm." She waved lazily.
Not long after the four of them stepped out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, she sneezed. Immediately afterwards, a gentle, elegant voice rang out, "The night wind is cold, Your Majesty, why don't you wear more clothes?"
Without turning her head, she naturally replied, "I don't wear many clothes so that I can take advantage of any handsome man I see."
"Your Majesty, you are still so improper." A man in white sat opposite her. He was an extremely handsome man with long, willow-like eyebrows and a jade-like figure. He was gentle and refined. The bright moonlight seemed to veil him, making his gentle smile seem dreamlike.
It's rare to find a man who looks like this.
