"The wind is already cold now, and after a while, after the cold dew, it will become colder every day." Su Qingwan lay on her back in the medicinal bath in the tub, her black hair randomly scattered in the water.

Mu Luoluo sat aside, looked down at the scroll in her hand, and responded casually.

Su Qingwan frowned slightly, turned over and lay down on the edge of the barrel, and looked at Mu Luoluo, "What are you looking at, is it possible that you look better than me?"

Mu Luoluo tasted a bit of sourness from this sentence, and couldn't help but want to laugh, put down the scroll and leaned over, and kissed Su Qingwan lightly on the forehead, "There is nothing more beautiful than you in the world."

Su Qingwan smiled in satisfaction, raised her hand to adjust the shape of the cushion, and lay down again.

"I'm looking at the account book. Every year, the charcoal of the Shangqing Palace is brought in earlier than other palaces, and the daily expenses are also high." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and gently pressed Su Qingwan's temple.

"It's mainly the cost of various tonics." Su Qingwan closed her eyes comfortably, and acted coquettishly with a nasal voice, "Could it be that Missy thinks I can't afford it?"

"My little girl is not talented, and my family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. If I want to come and raise one, you are more than enough." Mu Luoluo laughed, and tested the water temperature with her hand. "The water is getting cold, Jinqing!"

"Your maidservant is here." Jin Qing entered in response, leading two little maidservants behind her to carry the wooden barrel.

"Your Majesty, Jin Meiren has come to greet you again. The maidservant said that you were taking a medicinal bath, so she insisted on waiting outside the palace gate. Look?" Jin Qing asked cautiously.

"She has been shut down for several days, why is she here again?" Su Qingwan frowned, but was gently smoothed by Mu Luoluo, "Go and tell her, His Majesty ordered that no one should disturb me during the medicinal bath. Is she trying to resist the decree?"

"My maidservant said it, but Jin Meiren said she would wait for your medicine bath to finish." Jin Qing felt a little troubled.

"Forget it, just ask her to wait in the main hall, she is always locked outside the palace gate, and she doesn't want to show it." Mu Luoluo sighed lightly and said, "You should meet her anyway, and you can just write a few words to dismiss her. "

Su Qingwan snorted softly, closed her eyes and ignored people.

Jin Qing looked at Mu Luoluo at a loss, Mu Luoluo nodded slightly, Jin Qing understood, and obediently backed down.

"The lady in charge of the Shangqing Palace has exceeded her authority, she should be punished." Su Qingwan opened her eyes and looked at Mu Luoluo.

"Punishment for what?" Mu Luoluo helped Su Qingwan sit up, took a comb from the table beside her, and slowly combed Su Qingwan's black hair.

"Punish you to serve me for the rest of your life, and you won't be let out of the palace even when you're old." Su Qingwan laughed halfway through her sentence.

"Slave is punished." Mu Luoluo took a towel and wrapped Su Qingwan's long hair.

"Your Majesty is finished bathing." A little maid came in to help Su Qingwan change her clothes.

"My body is weak, so it's hard for my sister to come to pay my respects many times. My sister has a heart." Su Qingwan came to the main hall unsteadily, and sat on the main seat. "Come here, give the golden beauty a seat."

"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Shu, and concubine Shu is safe." Jin Meiren gave the full salute first, and then dared to sit down. "This concubine is new here, and I have something wrong with etiquette, so I ask Concubine Shu to remind me. "

"Silla's diet is slightly different from ours. My sister is here, can you still get used to it?" Su Qingwan looked at the reddish eyes of the child under the steps, and thought that the past few days were not going well.

"Concubine Xie Shu is concerned, my concubine...is still used to it." Jin Meiren paused, as if suppressing her crying.

A few days ago, the imperial concubine Song Guifei was disowning her at the palace banquet. His Majesty has not come to the harem much these days, and he has only attended the bed once after entering the palace. I am afraid that her life will be difficult these few days, Su Qingwan sighed softly With such a tone, I am afraid that she is not a favored princess if she can be sent out for a marriage, and it is also pitiful.

"Forget it, if there is anything missing, just tell me." Su Qingwan looked at the golden beauty who wanted to cry, and her heart softened. Li Duo and the harem sisters are walking around, and since they have come to our court, they will stay here for the rest of their lives, and try their best to spread their branches and leaves for His Majesty."

"Remember Concubine Shu's teachings." Jin Meiren wanted to kneel again, but was supported by Jin Qing who had received Su Qingwan's orders.

"Forget it, let's go down, I'm tired." Su Qingwan raised her hand and put it on the side of her head, looking at the bewildered Jin beauty with interest.

"Yes, my concubine is resigning." Jin Meiren took a deep breath and got up to leave.

"Wait." Su Qingwan suddenly said.

"Is there any other orders from your empress?" Jin Meiren turned her head.

"Hongshoutang Zhang Jieyu, have you met?" Su Qingwan slightly raised her eyebrows, diluting the charm brought by the fox eyes.

"Ms. Hui, I've seen you." Jin Meiren frowned secretly, a little puzzled as to why Su Qingwan suddenly mentioned Zhang Jieyu.

"Forget it." Su Qingwan waved her hand, "Zhang Jieyu and Defei's sister belong to the same family, and they lived in the side palace of the Shangqing Palace for a while, so I just asked casually, let's go, I came from Silla, I was tired of traveling, and I wanted to rest. To serve His Majesty."

"Yes." Jin Meiren blessed herself again and slowly backed out.

"I was almost deceived by her." When the door closed, Su Qingwan turned to Mu Luoluo with a smile and said, "What do you think of this person?"

"Look at her appearance, she has already called on all the mistresses above the fourth grade, she is looking for someone to rely on." Mu Luoluo raised her eyes and met Su Qingwan's curved eyebrows, "The reason why she must come to see you is It's not because of etiquette, but because she thinks you are the one she can rely on."

"As expected of Miss Mu, she has been in the business circle for several years, and she is indeed more vicious than me." Su Qingwan nodded happily, "It's okay, it depends on whether she has this spirituality."

"You mentioned Zhang Jieyu to her, what do you mean?" Mu Luoluo walked up to Su Qingwan and hugged the frail fox into her arms.

"The building is about to fall, so we need a pusher anyway." Su Qingwan put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, and rubbed against Mu Luoluo's abdomen, "I don't have much hope left and right."

"I have nothing to do these few days. I made some food. I don't know what my sister wants to eat, so I just brought it all." Zhou Zhaoyi waved his hand, and the maid behind him brought up the food box.

"My sister thanked my sister for her kindness. Please take a seat." Mu Xiaoxiao got up and saluted slightly, and then sat on the couch facing Zhou Zhaoyi.

"My younger sister looks good, and I think this child is caring, and she didn't make the mother feel uncomfortable." Zhou Zhaoyi looked at Mu Xiaoxiao's slightly swollen belly, quite envious.

"Maybe she's a caring princess." Mu Xiaoxiao gently stroked her stomach with a kind face.

Zhen'er stepped forward with the silver needle and tried all the food.Zhou Zhaoyi watched silently, without saying a word.

"Sister, please don't be upset. My sister really suffered a loss last time." Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained.

"I understand." Zhou Zhaoyi smiled, "Back when Sister Shen was pregnant, she was also so cautious."

"There's nothing left and right, I'm bored in the palace, how about my sister talking with me?" Mu Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and blinked.

"Alright, I haven't played chess for a long time, I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with it." Zhou Zhaoyi became interested, since Shen Xiuyi died, no one played chess with him anymore.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the identical plates of dim sum on the table, and couldn't help being a little funny. She really didn't have anything to do, but she didn't even bother to change the mold, so she casually picked up a piece.

"I think my sister has been nesting in the palace these days, and she must not be very clear about what happened in the palace." Zhou Zhaoyi also took a piece, and just took a bite, and was sourly frowned, never thinking about it. The sour jujube was so sour that when he raised his eyes to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, he didn't have much reaction.

"A few days ago, my younger sister Jin also came to see me, chatted a few things about the family, and learned a little about the style of Silla, but I really don't know anything about the rest." Mu Xiaoxiao took the porcelain with sunspots The box was passed to Zhou Zhaoyi.

"Does my sister know about Xiao Zhang being demoted?" Zhou Zhaoyi dropped a son.

"Degraded?" Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, she really didn't know about it.

"That's right, she has been reduced to a beauty and still lives in Hongshoutang." Zhou Zhaoyi didn't urge her, and waited for Mu Xiaoxiao to settle down, before following her leisurely.

"It's so good, why did you suddenly lose your position?" Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, but she really didn't think of any reason.

"It is said that a few days ago, Jin Meiren accidentally bumped into Xiao Zhang's sedan chair. You know her temper, how can there be anything nice to hear." Zhou Zhaoyi paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "If the Jin beauty was soft-tempered, this matter would be over, but who knows that Jin She is not a law-abiding person either, so she couldn't help saying a few words, Xiao Zhang got angry and ordered someone to slap Jin's mouth, so this matter will be brought to His Majesty."

"Sister Zhang is really true. No matter how poor the Jin family is, she is still a princess. Although she came here as a married couple, she is more noble than us." Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. It's not going to be such a trouble.

"I also heard that the former prince's young master took the lead to participate in the General of the Army and Horses. Your Majesty is worried about this matter. If something happens in the harem again, His Majesty will be troubled too." Zhou Zhaoyi said in a low voice.

"Soldier and Horse General? How could this matter have anything to do with Concubine Shu?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked knowingly, pretending to be stupid.

"My silly sister, the General of the Army is the Zhang family, and the family of Concubine Shu's mother is the General of the World's Army and Horse, so don't mix it up." Zhou Zhaoyi was amused, and reached out to flick Mu Xiaoxiao's forehead lightly.

"My younger sister is a woman who knows nothing about the political affairs of the previous dynasty. My younger sister didn't really listen to what my older sister said just now." Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a stick, tapped the table twice, and then dropped it.

Zhou Zhaoyi had an epiphany, glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao gratefully, and concentrated on the chess game.

The young master of the prince is the eldest brother of Concubine Anxian. Mu Xiaoxiao thought while she was sitting down, the matter of the Chu family, no matter the previous dynasty or the harem, was deeply involved.
