Great Zhou Empress

After making gestures and guessing, the communication was finally over. With the tools in hand, Xue Zhijing began to bathe the horse diligently.

The water in the North Sea is really too cold, even if it is the end of summer, it is still cool and refreshing.

That is to say, nomads who can't stand the hot grassland like this temperature. For Xue Zhijing, the temperature in summer is a little cooler.

After washing, the horse shook its head and splashed water all over her face.

Xue Zhijing was not annoyed, he touched its moist but warm skin, and laughed haha.

Just after meeting the Han court officials in the south, Xiao Liege slipped over to the stable. As soon as he came over, he saw the horse throwing water off Xue Zhijing's face from a distance, and she smiled brightly.

The warm sunlight shone on Xue Zhijing's face with water droplets, giving her a sense of hydration and liveliness.

Xiao Liege's breathing rhythm was a little chaotic, but his gaze was fixed on Xue Zhijing's direction.

After a long time, Xue Zhijing, who was playing with the horse, raised his eyes and saw Xiao Liege not far away. The moment the two looked at each other, Xiao Liege immediately turned his head and left.

Xue Zhijing: "..."

The arrogant and conceited Xiao Liege took two steps, and felt something was wrong, why did I turn my head and leave? Thinking of this, she immediately stopped, turned her head and walked towards the stable again.

The following guards and female slaves looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know what game their princess was playing, so they could only follow.

When he went back, Xue Zhijing was carrying the bucket for brushing horses and walking towards the place where the tools were kept.

"Princess?" Xue Zhijing saw her go back and forth, greeted her, and said with a smile, "Do you want to use horses? I just washed them all, and now they all smell delicious."

Fragrant?

I don't know why, when Xiao Liege mentioned such words, she thought of Xue Zhijing, she suddenly wanted to get close to Xue Zhijing again, and smell her.

But, I don't want it, this little slave is just an annoying guy, and he can't give her a chance to make progress.

"Is it finished? I have to check it carefully."

Xiao Liege pretended to go to the stables to check whether the horses had been washed clean, while Xue Zhijing put down the bucket and tools and followed her.

After turning around, Xiao Liege turned around and said to Xue Zhijing, "You little slave, you still have some uses, and the brushing is quite clean."

Xue Zhijing straightened his back, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment. Since I completed today's task so well, can I get a reward from the princess?"

"Reward?" Xiao Liege's eyes widened, "This is your job, what reward do you want?"

Regardless of whether Xiao Liege's sentence was a rhetorical question, Xue Zhijing said to himself, "I want Her Royal Highness to call me by my name, Xue Zhijing, instead of calling me a little slave."

Xue Zhijing's eyes were full of stars and seas, where there was no cowardice and shrinking like ordinary slaves, Xiao Liege's breathing was a little messy.

In fact, for her, the title "Little Slave" is more like a nickname that belongs to her alone, so how can she really use the other party as a slave?

"Oh! I told you that this is your job, so you don't have this reward~" The tsundere child became stubborn, but when she saw Xue Zhijing's slightly disappointed eyes, she added another sentence, "But, look For the sake of your brushing so cleanly, let me give you a reward, and that is to serve me for lunch."

Is this a reward?

The temperature rose at noon, and Xiao Liege also changed into a single shirt. Seeing Xue Zhijing walking into the tent with an animal smell, she said pretending to be disgusted, "It stinks, go take a shower and change clothes before coming back."

Xue Zhijing: "..."

The female slaves carried the big tubs for bathing into the bedroom inside, poured hot water quickly, and brought clean single clothes, still made of silk.

The female slaves wanted to help Xue Zhijing take a bath, Xue Zhijing called them out and said that she could do it by herself.

When they went out, only she and Xiao Liege were left in the entire tent.

But Xue Zhijing was in the bedroom inside the screen, while Xiao Liege was sitting in the living room reading a book.

When undressing, Xue Zhijing looked in Xiao Liege's direction through the opaque screen, hesitating for a moment, but at this moment she was living under someone's fence, and she was the other party's slave in name, so she couldn't figure out what Xiao Liege was thinking, so it's better not to Well said.

Anyway, I am frank and frank, and have no other ideas.

After figuring out this joint, Xue Zhijing relaxed, untied his clothes, and got into the basin.

Across the screen, in the quiet space, the sound of Xue Zhijing unbuttoning his clothes and entering the water could be heard clearly, and there was even the faint sound of Xue Zhijing breathing slightly.

A trace of panic flashed in Xiao Liege's eyes, and the skin on his cheeks became hot again.

She didn't know how many times her cheeks became hot in the past two days, and each time she couldn't help but be aroused by Xue Zhijing those emotions that had never been aroused by others.

In the past two years of her regency career, she has learned to put on a mask in front of others, making herself look like a cold ruler, sitting on the throne at a young age, and she has a kind of 80-year-old composure.

Those youthful and childish thoughts were deeply hidden in her heart, they should not belong to the ruling of a dynasty, they should be abandoned.

However, when Xue Zhijing appeared again, when the two of them were alone together, that naive child returned.

Xiao Liege became particularly easily irritated, like a furry cat, would have strong mood swings because of Xue Zhijing's every little move.

She can't even control herself.

He agreed to bully her like a slave and let her suffer for the past two years. Why?

Why is there still a voice in my heart saying that I want to give her everything I have?

Hastily put the book in her hand in front of her eyes again. In the past two years, she has developed a good habit of holding a history book of the Central Plains anytime and anywhere, from which she can learn the governance experience she desperately needs now.

But I don't know why, looking at these familiar words today, they seem to be less familiar. The square characters seem to be dancing, forming a new look in front of her eyes.

It even looks like a human face.

Xiao Liege angrily threw the book on the table, got up, opened the door curtain, and walked out.

Xue Zhijing in the bedroom was a little strange when he heard the sound of Xiao Liege going out, but she couldn't care less, so let's wash it up.

After changing his clothes, Xue Zhijing also walked out of the tent, only to see Xiao Liege shooting arrows at a shooting range not far from Wang's tent.

As if losing her temper, she shot arrow clusters one after another, hitting the bull's-eye.

Xue Zhijing looked at her from a distance, wondering if he should ask, he felt that the child was not emotionally stable, did something happen to him?

She also knew that Xiao Liege was now the actual ruler of the Liao Kingdom, so, did she encounter any political problems?

At this time, she didn't know that last winter, Xiao Liege led the army to point directly at Bianjing City, and she didn't know that the empress she cared about the most was exhausted because of this war, and the Dacheng Dynasty she cared about paid a price like cutting flesh for it. .

That's why she was able to look at Xiao Liege calmly, and even think about the problem from Xiao Liege's perspective, wanting to care about her.

After a long time, Xiao Liege seemed to let go of his emotions, threw the bow and arrow to his guards, and walked back.

The slave girl served her lunch like a stream of water.

A large piece of grilled meat, milk tea, cheese, and several plates of stir-fried vegetables familiar to Xue Zhijing.

There are also two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Most of the food on the grassland does not use bowls and chopsticks, but knives and hands are used more, so the dagger making technology of the Liao Kingdom is so good.At this time, the bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table, probably specially prepared for these few dishes of cooking.

There are two more?It seems that it's not just what Xiao Liege said, it's just that he wants to serve her dinner.

Xue Zhijing had to think a bit more, perhaps Xiao Liege treated him differently.

But at this time, Xue Zhijing didn't want to use the previous strategy anymore. In order to escape from Xiao Liege two years ago, she deliberately pretended to like her, and even deliberately seduced her, which was really a bit unethical.

Although it seems possible to use this trick again now, it seems possible to succeed, and it may need to add some extra points, such as dedication or something.

But Xue Zhijing didn't want to do this anymore.

While eating, Xiao Liege cut a piece of barbecued meat and ate it. Xue Zhijing picked up a chopstick of vegetables for her and said with a smile, "Come, eat some vegetables."

Xiao Liege took a deep look at her, and suddenly remembered something, "Where is the dagger I gave you earlier~"

Speaking of the dagger, Xue Zhijing was really sad, such a good weapon, she sighed and said, "I met pirates at sea before, the dagger was snatched away by the pirate leader, and he didn't return it to me."

Xiao Liege was touched by Xue Zhijing's sadness. After all, she gave it to him. Since he lost it when he encountered pirates at sea, it means that Xue Zhijing had been carrying the dagger since he got it.

Xue Zhijing treasured the gift he gave so dearly, it would be such a pity to lose her at this time.

Xiao Liege's mood suddenly improved, and there was an unconscious smile on his face.

"It's okay, I'll give you another one."

With that said, Xiao Liege cut a piece of meat for her with a dagger and put it in her bowl, "It's a pity that you don't have a dagger to cut it for you."

Xue Zhijing suddenly wanted to tease her, "You are not afraid to give me a dagger, no matter how bad I am to you."

Xiao Liege gave her a blank look, "I'm not even afraid of you with your thin arms and legs and a big knife in your hand."

Xue Zhijing frowned and laughed, "No way, I am such a weak person in your eyes, how about we two have a wrestling match one day, don't you guys love wrestling? Let's see who is stronger? "

Xiao Liege gave Xue Zhijing a strange look, like Lu Ban looked at the carpenter who challenged him, and Huo Qubing looked at the soldier who wanted to challenge him, feeling how could there be such an overconfident person.

"Okay~ If you lose~hmph~ you little slave, you have nothing to give me."

Xue Zhijing suddenly remembered something, "If I lose, I will give you a massage."

Xiao Liege remembered that Xue Zhijing had pressed the soles of her feet, itching her to death, and immediately said, "No, it's itching to death."

Xue Zhijing also remembered the matter of pressing the soles of his feet at that time, so he said with a smile, "Don't press the soles of your feet, but press your shoulders, okay?"

Xiao Liege thought for a while, and felt that this idea could still be considered, so he nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Zhijing's next sentence came, "If I win, please allow me a request."
