I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 189 Treasure Offering
Wei Mingliang leaned back in his chair without moving, as if he didn't hear anything.

Chu Liuzheng raised his voice and said, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Wei Mingliang still didn't respond.

Chu Liuzheng held the teacup forward and handed it over: "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Wei Mingliang glanced at the teacup, did not reach out to take it, but opened his lips slightly.

[Frog fun! The butterfly actually wants me to feed it? ]

Chu Liuzheng was stunned by the shamelessness of the man in front of him.

But who can blame him for being a prince? He has the capital to be shameless.

[Don't be angry, don't be angry, just feed it. If your lips are touched by the itching water, I guarantee that this butterfly will turn into a sausage mouth! ]

The corners of her lips raised with a smile, and as she moved the teacup closer to Wei Mingliang's lips, she said considerately, "Your Highness, be careful of the heat."

The voice is so gentle and the smile is so sincere.

Xiao Jingfan, who was watching the show, raised his eyebrows slightly, and could see some ill intentions in Chu Liuzheng's gentle and kind smile.

Unfortunately, Wei Mingliang, who didn't know Chu Liuzheng well, didn't notice it. He glanced at Chu Liuzheng, who lowered his head and looked submissive, then opened his mouth and held the rim of the cup.

"Your Highness, please drink slowly." Chu Liuzheng said as he tilted the teacup, and did not stop until Wei Mingliang raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Wei Mingliang didn't expect Chu Liuzheng to be so disciplined. He thought the woman in front of him would accidentally spill tea on him.

Not really.

He stroked the ring, watching Chu Liuzheng take the teacup away and bow to him again, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."

Wei Mingliang secretly glanced at Xiao Jingfan behind the imperial desk and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Get up."

Chu Liuzheng stood up holding the teacup, but suddenly his hand shook and he dropped the teacup towards Wei Mingliang.

She exclaimed, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Wei Mingliang was quick to catch the teacup without spilling a drop.

"You are the one who should be careful. Are you secretly resentful of me and want to throw tea all over me on purpose?"

"I dare not." Chu Liuzheng knelt down, "My hand injury has not healed yet, I really can't hold it. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

[I figured you would catch it, come on, hold it a little longer. It's not enough to just dip your lips in the itching water, you have to dip your hands in it too. ]

Seeing her so panicked, Wei Mingliang was unsure whether it was real or acting, although he tended to believe it was acting.

Xiao Jingfan cleared his throat and spoke at the right time: "This palace maid did injure her hand a few days ago. It must have been an unintentional mistake."

The emperor had spoken, so even if Wei Mingliang intended to make things difficult for Chu Liuzheng, he could not continue.

He placed the teacup on the tray held by Miyue and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Get up."

Chu Liuzheng stood up as he was told, stared at his neck, and whispered, "Your Highness, there is tea on your neck."

Wei Mingliang subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it.

Chu Liuzheng said: "It's not the left side, it's the right side."

"A little lower."

"On his face, too."

[Hehehe, rub it, you will be itchy to death in three hours! ]

Wei Mingliang wiped it hastily with his hand. After he was done, he remembered that he clearly had a handkerchief, so why did he use his hand?

Also, why should he listen to the woman in front of him?
Having achieved their goal, Chu Liuzheng and Siyue bowed to the emperor together, "I will take my leave."

Xiao Jingfan nodded.

The two of them walked out of the hall and went to the tea room together.

Mi Yue turned her head to look at Chu Liu Zheng, "Sister, did you do that on purpose?" Chu Liu Zheng blinked innocently and asked, "What do you mean on purpose?"

Mitsuki stared at her for a while and shook his head, "Sister's gauze is wet. I'll change it for you when we get to the tea room."

"Okay." The cold wind blew across his neck, making Chu Liuzheng shrink back and turn to look outside the corridor.

I saw white snow flying like cotton wool, and a thick layer of it had already formed on the ground.

It was snowing heavily.

"It's windy down there, let's go." Siyue stood outside to block some of the cold wind for Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng agreed and quickened his pace towards the tea room.

At the same time, in the Yangxin Palace, Wei Mingliang ordered someone to present a calligraphy work by a thousand-handed calligrapher to Xiao Jingfan for appreciation.

"The Thousand Hands Scholar has been in seclusion for thirty years, and his whereabouts are unknown. Although he is good at calligraphy and painting, he also likes to burn his calligraphy and paintings, so few of his works are left in the wild." Xiao Jingfan's eyes lingered on the scroll, "Many scholars and writers have imitated his works, but after all, they are similar in form but not in spirit. The original is hard to come by, I wonder where the Second Prince got this spring outing painting?"

Wei Mingliang said: "Two years ago, the Thousand Hands Scholar traveled to the capital of Xixia and happened to be involved in a murder case. I was the chief judge of that case. I found out the truth and cleared his name. He was grateful and offered to give me his calligraphy as a gift. It was Qingyang at that time, and to suit the occasion, I created this spring outing painting."

"I see." Xiao Jingfan turned to look at him, "Second Prince, do you know where the Thousand Hands Scholar is now?"

Wei Mingliang shook his head: "The Thousand Hands Scholar left this painting behind and continued to travel. I don't know his exact whereabouts."

Xiao Jingfan sighed lightly, with a look of regret on his face.

"Your Majesty has taken great care of us since the envoys arrived in Beijing. I am now presenting this painting to Your Majesty as a token of my gratitude." Wei Mingliang smiled and bowed, "Please accept it, Your Majesty."

"The Second Prince is so thoughtful. If so, I would be disrespectful to refuse it." Xiao Jingfan asked someone to put the scroll away and put it in the study. He would appreciate it carefully later.

"I also have a treasure to present to Your Majesty." Princess Goryeo suddenly stood up and bowed to Xiao Jingfan.

Yin Taiyu, who was sitting next to her, looked at her in surprise. How come he didn't know that this fake princess had also prepared gifts for Emperor Sunguang.

Didn’t you dare not even say a word to Emperor Shunguang before?

Suddenly got it?

Princess Xixia looked over curiously and said, "Meizhen, what treasure do you want to present to His Majesty?"

"This item can only be appreciated by Your Majesty." Princess Goryeo raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jingfan, biting her lips lightly, with a bit of shyness in her expression.

With such a situation, what else is there for people to not understand?
It is obvious that she is in love. Maybe she wants to take this opportunity to confess her feelings so that she can enter the palace as soon as possible.

Xiao Jingfan looked at her and thought, could this be what the woman meant by a surprise?

He winked at Zhou Yuande, who immediately ordered the palace servants to leave.

Yin Taiyu was pleased with the initiative of the Goryeo princess. He stood up and said, "The sound of falling snow has become louder, Your Majesty. I want to take a walk under the eaves."

Xiao Jingfan nodded in agreement, "Zhou Yuande, serve me well."

Zhou Yuande bowed and accepted the order.

Yin Taiyu was not in a hurry to leave. He invited Wei Mingliang and Princess Xixia to join him.

Princess Xixia had long since stopped wanting to stay in the palace. She was afraid every time Xiao Jingfan looked at her.

This Majesty is not at all as kind and easy to get along with as the eldest princess.

She agreed immediately and pulled Wei Mingliang, who was sitting there with no intention of moving, and said, "Second brother, Princess Meizhen wants to talk to His Majesty alone, so please don't stay here and be annoying."

Wei Mingliang felt that something was wrong and secretly winked at Yin Taiyu.

Originally, he was counting on Yin Taiyu's help, but Yin Taiyu was still angry about him taking the opportunity to threaten Goryeo, so he pretended not to see it and even helped Princess Xixia to pull the people out.

Wei Mingliang: “…”

The palace door closed gently, blocking out the outside gaze.

Wei Mingliang shook off the Xixia princess's hand, turned his head to look at the closed palace door, and frowned slightly.
