"Princesses in previous dynasties have a custom of dowry, no matter how hasty it is, the two concubines will not prepare it at the same time." Mu Luoluo shook her head. In recent days, the emperor went to the Shangqing Palace more frequently, so he could not get in touch with Su Qingwan.

"That's really strange, and up to now, I still don't know which princess is getting married." Mu Xiaoxiao stretched her waist. Winter is really a tiring season.

"Your heart is unpredictable." Mu Luoluo shook her head, leaned against the window, and took a deep breath. It just snowed last night, and the smell was very fresh.

"Find someone to move the reclining chair to the porch. Such good sunshine cannot be wasted." Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and instructed the little maid.

"How can I be so lazy recently? I'm either sleeping or lying down. I have a surprisingly good appetite. I'm afraid my stature will change when I make clothes in spring." Mu Luoluo joked.

"There's nothing to do in winter. I'll be quiet and the maids can be free." Mu Xiaoxiao lay down on the recliner, holding the hand stove. Do more."

"My aunt saw that you ate too much last night, so she ordered someone to cook more." Zhu'er took a cloak and covered Mu Xiaoxiao's lap.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Mu Luoluo, and before she could speak, a little maid came forward.

"My lord, Xuemei Palace sent someone to spread the word that I want to invite my lord to drink tea." The little maid blessed her body first, and then said.

"Xuemeidian? What beauty?" Mu Luoluo frowned and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who also looked confused, "It's so good, what is He beauty calling you for?"

"I don't know, but I have to take a trip anyway." Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, reluctantly got up from the rocking chair, turned and entered the room.

"What a beautiful woman, my young master didn't refuse the ceremony, so I asked that person to go back to her master, saying that my young master will go after changing clothes." Zhu'er waved her hand at the little maid in the corridor, and the latter responded.

He Meiren is the only concubine of the fourth grade who can live alone in Xuemei Palace, just because she gave birth to the eldest princess when the emperor had no heirs.

From the moment she stepped into the outer courtyard of Xuemei Palace, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that although she had already got rid of her slave status, He Meiren still did not dare to make too much publicity. gas.

They are all people who have lived a hard life, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt soft, how similar He Meiren is to herself.

Entering the palace, it was a different scene, although it could not be regarded as resplendent, but it was not unusual, Mu Luoluo frowned, so contradictory.

"My sister is here, sit down wherever you want." He Meiren waved to Mu Xiaoxiao eagerly, "Are you still used to everything in the palace? My sister first entered the palace, and she was a dignitary before others, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she had to stay here just after she left the palace. At the end of the new year, I thought my sister would be free, so I was able to ask my sister to have a chat, so don't blame my sister."

"My sister has offended my sister. It's my sister's fault that I didn't come to see my sister. Please forgive me." Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and sat down on the couch.

There was some food on the small table on the couch, which smelled very greasy, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning, raised her sleeves to cover it slightly, her stomach churned.Mu Luoluo's taste was always bland, and smelling it was unbearable, so she quietly opened the sachet in her sleeve to suppress it.

"Sister, don't be nervous. My sister just wants to chat with my sister about family affairs. My sister heard that my sister is also a concubine, so I think we can get closer." He Meiren carried the pot herself and poured tea for Mu Xiaoxiao, "Ling Cike is okay." ?”

"Everything is fine at home." Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what He Meiren wanted to do, so she could only be on guard.

"When my sister entered the palace, Ling Ci was very reluctant." He Meiren saw Mu Xiaoxiao's vigilance, and didn't care too much, and poured tea on her own. For a while."

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, thinking back to that day, her mother didn't talk much, and thousands of words were condensed in the continuous tears. She and her mother were not treated very well. Although they were at home in Mu's mansion, there was a sense of strangeness everywhere. The two women depend on each other for life, and their relationship may be deeper than that of ordinary mother and daughter.Mu Luoluo stood behind Mu Xiaoxiao, and since He Meiren couldn't comfort her directly, she could only watch silently.

He Meiren has always been good at observing words and expressions, and from Mu Xiaoxiao's frowning, she has guessed roughly, "I think all parents in the world have the same thoughts, and they only want their children to be by their side, so that they can live a more ordinary life."

Mu Luoluo frowned slightly when she heard the words, she seemed to understand why He Meiren came to find Mu Xiaoxiao.

"At the age of 20, I gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter for His Majesty. It has been 15 years now, and Wen'er is old enough in the blink of an eye." He Meiren said slowly, "I came from a humble background, and Wen'er took the place of the eldest daughter." Cheap, we, mother and daughter, live together in this deep palace. When Wen'er was two years old, the first princess was born, and with the current crown prince a year later, Wen'er, the eldest daughter of the emperor, seems unimportant. Your Majesty As soon as I ascended the throne, I took the initiative to send Wen'er to the Princess Garden. Wen'er hated me and resented me, and I admitted it, because she can't show off, and her mother can't protect her!"

Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at He Meiren, who was gradually losing control of her emotions, and couldn't react for a while, what she meant by telling herself this.

"Your Majesty clearly said that if I wanted to, I could keep Wen'er by my side, but I still sent her to the Princess Garden. Why? I also want to see Wen'er every day! Because I am humble! I only I can protect her through the Princess Garden!" He Meiren was a little hysterical, staring at Mu Xiaoxiao closely, "I want her to look more ordinary, I want His Majesty to forget her existence! I just hope she grows up safely! Then When she grows up, find an ordinary marriage, even if it's marriage, as long as she lives comfortably, this is all I can think of as a mother!"

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say at all, she looked at Mu Luoluo helplessly, but the latter was already overwhelmed by He Meiren's words.

"It's been fine all the time, it's Wen'er and Ji, and everything has come out." He Meiren suddenly smiled, "We're going to get married, the princess is needed, and you think of Princess Heping! You just want Princess Heping to go out of the border Marriage! Why! Why!"

Mu Xiaoxiao was finally sobered by her yelling, and suddenly remembered what she said to His Majesty that day, and was at a loss, "No, I didn't..."

"I beg you! Beauty Xian!" He Meiren stood up suddenly, and suddenly knelt down in front of Mu Xiaoxiao before the two of them had time to react, "You are a celebrity in front of His Majesty, I beg you to persuade Your Majesty, don't let Wen'er Marriage! Please!"

As soon as He Meiren knelt, all the servants in Xuemei Hall had to kneel. In an instant, Xuemei Hall was full of people kneeling.

"Sister He!" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, and rushed to help Meiren He, but the latter was determined to hear Mu Xiaoxiao's answer, and was determined not to get up.

"He Meiren." Mu Luoluo knelt down and looked at He Meiren coldly. She understood what He Meiren's wishful thinking was. Forget about the existence of the Eldest Princess, all these years, apart from the First Princess who has been raised in the palace, Princess Heping has the best food and clothing expenses among all the princesses, at this time, He Meiren would bite back, I am afraid it would be inappropriate."

He Meiren was stunned, the tears all over her face were still wet, she stared blankly at the maid in front of her.

"Marriage is a major event of the country, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Has the beauty forgotten?" Mu Luoluo's voice was calm, but when he let it go cold, there was a hint of coercion. Please also beauties to distinguish between priorities."

He Meiren didn't say a word, she raised her head and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao closely, with the tendency to erupt.

"Don't come and help your little master up." Mu Luoluo turned her head and yelled at He Meiren's close maid, after all, she was the eldest lady of the Mu family, "He beauty, my little master will serve His Majesty in the afternoon, so I can't stay with you for a long time, slave girl Retire."

After Mu Luoluo finished speaking, before He Meiren could respond, she dragged Mu Luoluo away.

He Meiren was helped back to the couch by the maid, her empty eyes gradually became fierce, "She's right, it's useless to beg her, you forced me to do this."

"What's going on here? I never said about getting married with Princess An, and I never thought about it that way." Scared by this, Mu Xiaoxiao burst into tears, clutching Mu Luoluo's sleeve at a loss .

"The eyeliner in Guanglu Hall has not been removed. The conversation you had with His Majesty that day was overheard and misinterpreted by those who care." Mu Luoluo supported most of Mu Xiaoxiao's weight, and looked back at the confinement hall of Xuemei Hall. The door, the eyeliner left on purpose, is finally about to move out of her mastermind behind the scenes.

"Sister, I feel sick to my stomach and want to vomit." Before Mu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she had already acted, pushing Mu Luoluo away and throwing herself onto a tree beside her.

"How can you be so scared?" Mu Luoluo patted Mu Xiaoxiao's back, looking at the tearful Mu Xiaoxiao, she suddenly felt guilty. She had clearly promised Aunt Yin that everything would be fine for Xiaoxiao.

"Sister." After Mu Xiaoxiao let go, she raised her hand and tugged at Mu Luoluo's sleeve, as if she could see through her mind, "My sister has little knowledge, and I have never seen anyone so hysterical. I was afraid at the first time. In the future See you, and you won't be afraid anymore."

Mu Luoluo didn't answer, but silently supported Mu Xiaoxiao back to Guanglu Hall.

"The dowry list for the princess's wedding has been written. My sister will take another look. If there is nothing wrong, my sister will send someone to the Shanggong Bureau to prepare it." Su Qingwan put the pen back into the pen holder, picked up the rice paper and blew it gently .

"This time is really rare. Your Majesty actually gave the Song family a marriage at this time." Concubine Zhang De took the rice paper handed over by Su Qingwan, and examined it carefully, "That's all right, left and right are not national gifts, so it is already very rich. "

"Young Master Song is 20 years old now, so it's not a surprise to give him the marriage, but the timing is too coincidental." Su Qingwan took back the dowry list and handed it to Zhen'er, asking her to send it to the Shanggong Bureau. , you have to worry about these things when you're pregnant."

"It's nothing, it's just looking through the old rules and writing." Concubine Zhang De smiled, "Just after the new year, the big and small affairs in the palace are enough for the concubine to be busy. The concubine avoids suspicion on this matter, only you and me are left. What's more The month is still young, but it's not a problem. It's just that my sister is weaker, and it's freezing cold, so I come to Fulin Palace every day, but I have suffered."

"It's been warm these few days, and I've been wrapped up tightly when I go out." Su Qingwan glanced at Zhen'er. Since Mu Luoluo gave her instructions, Zhen'er has become more and more concerned about the clothes she wears when she goes out. Every time she goes out, she can't wait to wrap herself up It's good to have nothing to miss.

"My sister's complexion is really much better, her face is rosy, and her brows are warm." Concubine Zhang De looked at the uncontrollable smile on Su Qingwan's face, and couldn't help but think of what she said last year, what she wanted to protect ,What could it be?Sacred Heart? "Every spring, His Majesty will go to the hunting ground for spring hunting, and most of the sisters in the palace will be killed at that time. Will my sister go with me this year?"

"If your body is up to the challenge and you can feel better, then go and see." Mu Xiaoxiao is definitely going, and Mu Luoluo has to follow, and it's boring to be in the palace by herself. "Sister, why don't you go with your body?"

"The doctor said that it's good to move around more. It's not good to get on a horse and play ball. It's good to watch them play and relax." Concubine Zhang De took a few mouthfuls of the white fungus soup brought by the maid, and then stared at them intently. Su Qingwan, who looked at her, explained, "After getting a body, I don't want to eat spicy or sour, but I just want to eat two bites of sweet. Your Majesty said that this child is filial and knows that his mother doesn't like spicy or sour. "

"It's also very good. My sister wants to eat something sweet, so my sister sent someone back to Shangqing Palace. I still have a lot of snacks I made a few days ago. I think it's too sweet, so I haven't finished it yet." Su Qingwan smiled slightly.

"There's no need to bother, just bring it with you when you come tomorrow." Concubine Zhang De patted the back of Su Qingwan's hand, smiled lightly and shook her head.
