Han Jian left the palace where Fa Yi and Song Zhi'er temporarily lived, and especially explained to the guards that once there was urgent military affairs, the news would still be presented to him. Jinling City has just been flat, and it cannot be taken lightly, Zhu Tongjing is not dead, it is possible to resurrect, and Sima Yi may also send troops north at any time.

When Han Jian walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace in Jinling City, accompanied by the female official, he could feel a kind of relief of conquest, the unification of the country was only two steps away, a Sima Yi, and a Su Tingxia, all of whom he had relied on and relied on, but now they had become enemies. These two know his character very well, which is the most disadvantageous place, especially Sima Yi, the two can be said to be the friendship formed when they wore open crotch pants, Sima Yi knows him better than others, Han Jian can feel the pressure from Sima Yu on the battlefield.

If you want to completely complete the final conquest, you can only step on the corpses of Sima Yi and Su Tingxia, for Su Tingxia, Han Jian didn't feel much pity, but he just wanted Sima Yi to turn against him, and he was still very disappointed in his heart.

Or he shouldn't have taken him to the Southern Dynasty in the first place, if Sima Yi was still in Jiangdu, or......

Han Jian didn't want to think about it, his fists clenched, he had a feeling of betrayal to Sima Yi, Han Jian had feelings for Xiao Zhan before, but even if Xiao Zhan was in Luoyang, he had never done anything arrogant, just because he knew Xiao Zhan's status in Sima Yi's mind, but now it was different, Sima Jian chose to serve the Southern Dynasty, and Han Jian's possession of Xiao Zhan was more like a revenge on Sima Yi.

"See Your Majesty." In the inner courtyard of the palace, there are still patrolling soldiers.

The palace has just been calmed down, even if Xiao Zhan moved to live in her former own dormitory, with female officials serving inside and guards outside, she still can't fly. Although this was once the imperial palace of the Southern Dynasty. But it is also the palace established by Han Jian after conquering the Southern Dynasty, and now Xiao Zhan is no longer the empress, but just a concubine of Han Jian's upcoming death, and the owner of the entire palace has changed from Xiao Zhan to Han Jian. The king became a minister, and the emperor. has become the emperor.

"Stand down."

When Han Jian entered the palace, there were four female soldiers in armor standing at the door. They were all arranged by Han Jian to serve Xiao Zhan, the light was very dim, inside, there was no movement, Xiao Zhan had already had dinner at this time, and was standing in front of the desk where she used to read at night, with her back to Han Jian, quietly in a daze.

Han Jian walked over. There are still female officials saluting, and there are a total of sixteen female officials who send Xiao Zhan into the palace, except for eight of them who are responsible for appearing as female soldiers, and the other eight are responsible for taking care of Xiao Zhan's daily life. Before Han Jian arrived, they had already served Xiao Zhan to bathe and change clothes, and when Xiao Zhan was in a daze, they also stood next to him and watched carefully, because no one dared to be sure. Whether there is a secret passage in this palace, although the entire palace is about to be checked by soldiers.

Wait for Han Jian to walk behind Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan felt Han Jian's arrival, her body froze slightly, what she was wearing was not the emperor's crown, but the court clothes that she had used to go to court as the eldest princess. This kind of court dress is generally the same style for men and women. It's just that the skirt of the eldest princess's court dress will be dragged to the ground by the man, Xiao Zhan's hair is coiled high, Xiao Zhan has never coiled her hair before, because she has never been married, but now there is no wedding. She is about to complete the transformation from a young girl to a woman, and even she cannot adapt to it.

"The princess is still nostalgic?" Han Jian asked softly.

At this time, only Han Jian and Xiao Zhan were left in the inner curtain of the palace, and the other female officials all retreated to the outer hall, looking at them from a distance and not daring to come closer. Han Jian wanted to grab Xiao Zhan's body from behind, but Xiao Zhan took a step forward to dodge, and when Xiao Zhan turned around, her face was silent.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty." Xiao Zhan bowed down in front of Han Jian with the etiquette of a courtier, did not kneel, but just lowered his body, spread his arms flat, and finally raised them to the eyebrows, overlapping them, lowering his head and body at the same time, and saluting Han Jian.

Han Jian knew that this was the courtesy of the princess of the Southern Dynasty to the king, and Xiao Zhan's etiquette was very complete, but this was not the etiquette that Han Jian wanted.

"Flat." Han Jian said in a cold tone.

Xiao Zhan stood there as he said, without looking up, but his eyes could only look at Han Jian's boots, which was a "step" salute. This made Han Jian feel that Xiao Zhan was more perfunctory, which also made Xiao Zhan feel guilty, he was originally a conqueror, it was easy to conquer Xiao Zhan's body, and it would take a long time to completely conquer her heart.

Although Xiao Zhan seemed very distant from Han Jian, and even avoided it, she also knew that there were some things she couldn't avoid tonight. At that time, when she stood with her head bowed, Han Jian walked to the desk, and there were basic books on the table, all of which were books read by ordinary women, including "Women's Training" and "The Biography of the Daughters", which were not books that governed the country and leveled the world, although Han Jian didn't know if this was what Xiao Zhan read on weekdays, but it was expected to be similar, although Xiao Zhan's character was stubborn, she was not like Yang Rui who always suppressed herself, but better like a woman who was alone with her sister-in-law, who knew how to adjust life.

Han Jian picked up the book, opened it and read it, the content in it was nothing special, put it down, and walked around, all he could feel was just the feeling of an ordinary woman's boudoir, there was no imperial spirit here. Think of the books Yang Rui reads on weekdays...... It seems that Yang Rui doesn't read any books, Yang Rui is bored on weekdays, and it is also a book of local customs and customs, compared to Xiao Zhan, Yang Rui is more like a professional king. But the two have one thing in common, although they are empresses, they both have to abdicate the throne, and they also have to fulfill their duties as women to commit themselves to him.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the last shift." The female officer came in and played the ceremony.

For the king, when the concubine is lucky, a little eunuch needs to come in to pass the time, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, many times the palace courtyard is very calm, you can't hear the sound of the stick drum, you don't know the time, it's easy to be greedy. But after Han Jian took power, there were not many small eunuchs left in the palace, and the eunuchs left behind were only responsible for miscellaneous work, no longer responsible for serving, and even became female officials to report the time.

Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for the female officer to step down, Han Jian looked back at Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan's face was still calm.

Han Jian smiled and nodded, "Serve me and sleep peacefully." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan received such a rude request from Han Jian, and she could only openly accept the order, but she had not been taught by the female official, and she didn't know what to do next, so she could be regarded as serving the king and sleeping peacefully. Logically speaking. The women in the palace, whether they are beautiful girls or not, will receive certain etiquette training, teaching them some basic etiquette, such as how to salute and greet female officials, and what etiquette to do when meeting the concubine. What should you do when you see a king? The most important thing is that if you are fortunate enough to receive the favor of the king, how should you know the etiquette and fulfill the duties that a beautiful woman should do. Even if the king was drunk, as long as they followed the established etiquette, they would not be surprised. These are all within the scope of the daily teaching that female officers and show girls receive.

But these are not what Xiao Zhan learned. Although Xiao Zhan has also learned court etiquette since he was a child, he is more about learning how to accept the worship of others as a princess, and how to see his father or mother.

And Han Jian. Not her father, nor the king of the Southern Dynasty, Han Jian was just a conqueror, and she was no longer an emperor or an eldest princess, but a concubine of the Northern Dynasty.

Han Jian walked past Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan was still standing there, Han Jian didn't stop, and passed directly before her to the bed inside.

Spacious dragon couch. He had already put on a new futon, which was not the one Xiao Zhan used before. After two court chaos. Many things in the palace have been looted, and even the books on Xiao Zhan's desk may have been added later. Han Jian sat down on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Zhan leaned forward slightly.

Han Jian didn't say anything, and Xiao Zhan didn't know what he was going to do next.

"Your Excellency, please remove your boots for Your Majesty." The female officer was on the sidelines. Whispered reminders.

Xiao Zhan knew why Han Jian was sitting in front of her so proudly, it turned out that he was waiting for her to step forward and take off her boots. Han Jian wouldn't lift her legs, it stands to reason that she had to kneel on the ground to complete this step, but she still couldn't bend her legs.

"Noble ......"

When the female officer wants to remind again. Xiao Zhan said softly: "I know." ”

She closed her eyes slightly, as if she acquiesced to everything in front of her, walked in front of Han Jian, and finally lowered her body again, but she did not bow down, but slowly knelt down in front of Han Jian. Although she closed her eyes, Han Jian could see the twitching of her eyelids, this was the most humiliating time in Xiao Zhan's life, a high-ranking female emperor, but kneeling in front of a man and taking off her boots for a man, how could a high-minded woman accept it?

But Xiao Zhan is a person who keeps her word after all, and when she gambled against Han Jian, she expected that she might lose, and she also expected that there would be the current ending.

Although she is unwilling, she is not crying like a weak woman, her strength is in her heart.

When she slowly stretched out her arm and untied Han Jian's riding boots, because she had no experience in this area, she couldn't help Han Jian's wide boots at all with a little strength. The female officer over there looked a little scared, generally speaking, Han Jian would not let the women around him help take off his boots, either Han Jian would come by himself, or the female officer would do it for him, even if Han Jian occasionally played tricks and asked Yang Li'er or Gu Xin'er to help take off his boots, these women who have deep feelings for Han Jian are not only happy, but also very skilled, they only need to pick up Han Jian's boots and pull them into his arms, and they can basically take them off, after all, Han Jian will not wear too squeezed boots.

Xiao Zhan didn't take off his boots for a long time, which made the female officer a little scared, and the female officer came over and was about to kneel down to do it for him, but Han Jian said, "You just retreat." ”

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, Han Jian's words were obviously not for her. The female officer quickly got up, respectfully stepped aside, and watched all this happen before her.

After several efforts, Xiao Zhan still took off one of Xiao Zhan's boots, even if Han Jian's hygiene was maintained well, but after all, it was winter, and there was still a smell in the riding boots. Xiao Zhan couldn't cover her nose because there was still a riding boot waiting for her to do it. She put her boots aside and reached for the other, with her previous experience, the second would only be easier, but it also took her a lot of time.

When both boots had been taken off, she set them up herself, but a female officer stepped forward, put them in a wooden tray, and pulled out the inner curtains.

Just when Xiao Zhan wanted to get up, Han Jian suddenly smiled and said, "The princess seems to have forgotten something." ”

Xiao Zhan looked over at this time, and it turned out to be the white socks that Han Jian was wearing, which was what really embarrassed her.

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a long time before reaching out and taking off one of Han Jian's socks, the smell was even more unpleasant, followed by the second one, and when Han Jian's two socks left his feet, a female officer would come up to help send the socks outside, but at the same time, the female officer also prepared hot water for washing his feet and placed it on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Zhan knew what this meant, and when he was hesitating to take Han Jian's ankle with his hand, the female officer reminded: "Your honor, you should try the water temperature first." ”

Even washing Han Jian's wide boots, there are many rules in them, where are these rules known to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan was used to being served before, she rarely even did this kind of thing herself, let alone helped others. She nodded slightly, put her hand into the basin, and after determining the temperature of the water, she picked up Han Jian's feet, put one in, and then put the other, and was about to wash it with water, when Han Jian suddenly said, "The water is a little cold." ”

In a word, the female officer hurriedly went out to summon hot water in.

Xiao Zhan Muran knelt there, looking a little confused. Obviously, when she was estimating tonight's events, she didn't expect Han Jian to use this method to give her a "dismount" first, in fact, what happened tonight in her fantasy would be more direct, and she didn't even need to take the initiative herself. She even felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.

When the hot water came, Xiao Zhan still had to pour water into it by himself, and adjust the water temperature himself, until Xiao Zhan added a small scoop of hot water before Han Jian said, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Zhan then handed the hot water back to the female official and continued to wash Han Jian's feet.

The process is very slow, and there is no one to talk in the middle, Xiao Zhan has also fulfilled the responsibility of a concubine, she does things seriously, even if she does what she is reluctant to do, she is also very serious. Until Han Jian's feet were washed, the female officer over there had already handed over the towel with a wooden tray, the meaning was obvious, after washing Han Jian's feet, even wiping the water needed Xiao Zhan to do it himself.

Xiao Zhan was very hesitant again.

She didn't expect things to be so complicated, but when she took the towel in her hand, she reached out and fished out one of Han Jian's feet from the basin, wrapped the towel in it, wiped it roughly first, and then wiped it little by little.

Han Jian sat there and shook his head slightly, no matter which woman around him washed his feet in the past, it was occasionally carried out as the pleasure of the boudoir, you have a strong affection for me, and I feel very felt. But now he felt that he was committing a crime, and he was wearing down the patience in Xiao Zhan's heart little by little. (To be continued.) )
