The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 401 Unable to refute
A few days after receiving the Longnan Army report, Ning Xizhao led his troops back to Cold City.

Confer rewards for meritorious service in the court, and hold a banquet in the Shanghua Hall to celebrate after the court.

Miao Miao finally chose a small palace skirt with white camellia brocade embroidered with lotus root and white camellia that she was most satisfied with among hundreds of palace skirts. After she put it on, she asked Liuying to comb her hair.But Liu Ying gave her several of the most popular girls' hair braids in Kyushu, and she was not satisfied.

Qin Wan walked behind Miaomiao, took the comb from Liuying, and then simply combed her hair with a bun, which looked cute and playful.

Miaomiao was very satisfied with the hair Qin Wan combed her, and looked at it again and again in the mirror, very happy.

The celebration banquet was not a big one, and Ning Yi and the officials started discussing business affairs while drinking, and a good banquet turned into a tax discussion meeting.

Qin Wan was bored listening to it, but saw Miao Miao enjoying it.Qin Wan found that she didn't understand her daughter more and more.

Qin Wan left the table and went to the garden to get some air.

The snow in the garden is like a cover, reflecting the crescent moon in the sky, and the snow is flawless.

The snow scene reminded Qin Wan of Cangming Mountain, and he couldn't help sighing.

"Why is the empress sighing?"

Ning Xizhao's voice suddenly appeared behind Qin Wan.

Turning around, Qin Wan saw the handsome young man's face under the moonlight, and said with a light smile, "It seems like Xizhao, like me, is tired of hearing the long-winded business affairs of the civil servants."

Ning Xizhao bowed his hands and answered yes.

"Today is your small celebration banquet. It stands to reason that you are the protagonist. But those few civil servants who have no eyesight insist on dragging His Majesty to talk about things. Our Majesty always puts business first, so don't be angry."

"I don't dare." Ning Xizhao was a little cautious, but he was well-mannered and well-mannered.

Qin Wan remembered his appearance when he was a child, and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that you were so cute and soft back then, and today you will grow into such a handsome young man, and you can lead troops to eradicate monsters. It's really admirable for three days."

Ning Xizhao: "Your Majesty praises you absurdly."

Qin Wan: "By the way, are you comfortable with the bow I gave you?"

"The power of the divine bow is extraordinary, it's just that Xizhao's martial arts is insufficient, and he can't exert [-]% of his divine power." When Ning Xizhao talked about his palace, his eyes lit up.

Qin Wan: "Originally, I also thought about finding you an ordinary Tianbow from the Tianjie Tianjie Weapons Shop, but after thinking about it, I asked a friend for this for you. It can be regarded as a step forward for your weapon. But I can also Thinking that it might not be easy to learn, so you have to work harder."

Ning Xizhao: "Yes, ma'am."

Qin Wan asked again: "Did you get injured in Longnan?"

Ning Xizhao instinctively wanted to say no, but he changed his mind in an instant and replied, "I hurt my arm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan immediately asked with concern, "Is it serious?"

Ning Xizhao stretched out his left arm and rolled up his sleeves: "It's not serious, it's just a scratch."

Qin Wan was surprised to see that he was wrapped in bandages from elbow to wrist.After all, Ning Xizhao was the child she watched grow up, and she felt distressed when she was injured.

"Can I take a look at the bandage?" Qin Wan asked.

Ning Xizhao didn't hesitate, and immediately untied the bandages one by one. A wound more than 20 centimeters long was sewn up with thread, which looked shocking.

"Oh my god!" Qin Wan grabbed Ning Xizhao's wrist and looked at the wound, "It's so serious!"

As she spoke, she recited the healing formula she had learned from Lord Xiaobai, and made seals with her fingers to heal Ning Xizhao.

Ning Xizhao's wound healed slowly under Qin Wan's spell.Those threads also fall off automatically, preferably turning into a scar.

"I just learned the art of healing. It can only help you heal the wound faster, but it can't make it as good as before." Qin Wan said with some shame.

Seeing Qin Wan help him heal his wounds, Ning Xizhao suppressed the joy in his heart and the smile on his face, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Empress Empress!"

"You don't have to thank me," Qin Wan smiled softly, "You choose to join the army. Although injuries are always inevitable, you still have to pay attention to safety."

"Thank you for your concern." Ning Xizhao listened to Qin Wan's voice and felt her real concern. His mood at this time was far more joyful than the celebration at the court's reward banquet. He even regretted that he didn't suffer more injuries to get Qin Wan's more Much attention.

"Thank you again." Qin Wan said with a smile, "Your serious appearance now is not as cute as when you were a child. Your little face is round and your body is also round. You are not as tall and thin as you are now."

Ning Xizhao was a little shy when Qin Wan said that, if it wasn't under the moonlight, Qin Wan would have noticed that he was blushing.

"Okay, I'm going back to Chonghua Palace. If His Majesty asks, just tell me the truth and I'll leave early." Qin Wan looked at the sky, and really didn't want to go back and pretend to listen to the officials discussing business.

"Yes." Ning Xizhao said salutingly, "Xi Zhao respectfully sent the empress to the empress."

He watched Qin Wan's leaving back for a long time, and watched her walk out of the garden until she disappeared from his sight before turning back to Shanghua Hall.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Miaomiao standing in the snow wearing a pure white cloak, looking at him with angry and slightly sad eyes.

Ning Xizhao frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "See Her Royal Highness."

Miaomiao bit her lip, strode up to Ning Xizhao, raised her head, and beckoned him to bend down.

The moment Ning Xizhao leaned over to her, Miao Miao grabbed Ning Xizhao's front: "Ning Xizhao! I warn you! Take back your thoughts about my mother!"

Ning Xizhao was stunned, he looked into Miaomiao's eyes, knowing that she was not joking.

Miaomiao continued: "No matter how much you admire your mother, she will not belong to you. And if you show a little in front of my father, have you ever thought about how serious the consequences will be?!"

Ning Xizhao looked at Miaomiao, unable to imagine that the girl in front of her was less than six years old. Although her words were not angry, she was speaking the truth and she was thinking of him.

Ning Xizhao raised his hand away from Miaomiao's grasping hand, stood up straight, with a cold attitude, and remained silent.

At this time, Miaomiao's eyes gradually turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Xizhao, in fact, my personality is very similar to that of my mother, very similar. Can you stop liking my mother and like me, okay?"

Ning Xizhao looked at Miao Miao with a cold face: "The princess is still a child, I don't know what liking is."

"Then when did you start liking my mother?" Miaomiao asked unconvinced, "As far as I know, the first time you met my mother was about the same age as me!"

What Miaomiao said was the truth, Ning Xizhao could not refute it.

He still remembers the scene when he saw Qin Wan for the first time when he lost his way in Linglong Pavilion of Cuihua Peak.Qin Wan asked who he was, and led him to find his mother. At that time, he felt that Qin Wan must be a fairy in the sky.

His childhood emotions were buried in his heart. During the process of growing up, only Miao Jin and his wife could occasionally hear news about Qin Wan, and this emotion has accumulated and fermented through the years, until not long ago when they He was suddenly called into the palace.

Seeing Qin Wan again, Ning Xizhao suppressed the excitement in his heart, seeing that she was still exactly the same as before, the seed buried in his heart bloomed instantly.

But Qin Wan forgot their agreement and even treated him as a child.Ning Xizhao didn't know what he should do so that she could treat him as a man, and he was afraid that if she didn't treat him as a child, she would never see her again.

Miaomiao saw that Ning Xizhao was silent, and tears fell out of her eyes: "Brother Xizhao, wait a little longer, I will grow up soon, and I will definitely be better and stronger than my mother, I will prove it to you watch!"

Ning Xizhao looked at Miaomiao, not knowing how to comfort him: "Miaomiao, when you grow up, you will meet someone who treats you wholeheartedly."

Miaomiao shook her head and cried, "So what! Now that you meet me, don't you still look at the back of your mother!"

"..." Ning Xizhao could not refute.
