Tangled

"What were you thinking just now?" Mu Luoluo asked on the way back.

"It's nothing." Su Qingwan smiled lightly and shook her head, "It's just that the child's eyes are too clean, which makes me flustered."

"He is a child of the Tian family, and he will be dyed in the end." Mu Luoluo sighed, everyone who stepped into the imperial city was like this, so why not her.

Su Qingwan reached out to hold Mu Luoluo, their fingertips were cold, but fortunately, their palms were warm.

On the sixth day of February, the fifth prince, Dai Hao, was born, and the mother and child were safe.

On the eighth day of February, the emperor decreed that Mu, the mother of the fifth prince, would be the empress, and the second prince would be the crown prince of the East Palace.

As soon as this edict came out, the front and back palaces were shaken.

"My sister is so good at predicting things, this child is really on the rise." Zhou Zhaoyi sat alone in the side hall of Huiju Hall, with a jug of turbid wine and two wine cups on the table.

"It's just that my sister guessed wrong. She is not only a concubine now, but a mother is more expensive than a child. She is already the queen of the middle palace." Zhou Zhaoyi picked up the wine cup and made a vain respect to the empty seat opposite.

"The proposed title of Empress Sheng Xiaoya, she has completely broken free from the shackles of Xian characters, and now her favor has nothing to do with Empress Sheng Xiaoren." Zhou Zhaoyi drank the wine in the cup, and then held the pot to refill .

"A few days ago on my sister's birthday, she came to visit her, did you see her?" Zhou Zhaoyi said to herself, her low voice echoing in the empty hall.

"Thanks to my sister's advice, now that I am on good terms with her, I don't think I will be sad in the future." Zhou Zhaoyi looked around, and everything was displayed as before, without any changes.

"On the eighth day of March, the emperor and empress got a big wedding and amnesty for the whole world. Your Majesty really doted on her, and promised her ten miles of red makeup to make her a beautiful marriage." Zhou Zhaoyi's gaze finally focused on the curtain in the west corner of the hall, Behind the curtain is a life-length portrait.

A beautiful woman is like a flower, and those who wish to find it will find it; the flower has withered, and the one who seeks it will feel sad.

·

"Come and draw me a pattern." Su Qingwan leaned on the couch, and said to Mu Luoluo who was busy pruning the flower branches.

"Describe what?" Mu Luoluo raised her head and looked at Su Qingwan.

"Lanhua." Su Qingwan blinked, "I made a promise, and I can't just keep my word."

"Farewell." Mu Luoluo laughed, "You can let that orchid go, instead of embroidering orchids, it's better to embroider a blessing."

"Okay, I started to dislike me so soon." Su Qingwan glared at Mu Luoluo, and then raised her voice, "Jinqing!"

"Your servant is here." For some reason, Jinqing hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, looking at the angry Su Qingwan and the smiling Mu Luoluo who was at a loss, "I don't know what your mother wants?"

"Go, go and invite an embroiderer to come and find the one who can embroider the highest orchids, so she can draw a pattern for me." Su Qingwan ordered.

"Yes." Jin Qing didn't know why, and left in response.

"Don't let me embroider, I just want to embroider." Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, feeling arrogant and domineering.

"Depend on you, everything depends on you." Mu Luoluo walked up to Su Qingwan, raised her hand and pinched the tip of Su Qingwan's nose, "Now the whole palace is discussing the matter of conferring the crown prince, but you don't care."

"Your Majesty is astute in calculating every step of the way. Why do you need others to put your beak on it? Those who went to the harem were just yelling. After a few days, the court subsided, and the harem naturally had nothing to say." Su Qingwan opened her mouth and bit Mu Luoluo's fingertips lightly. "The emperor wanted to set up a heir for a long time, but there was no empress Sheng Xiaoren, only the daughter-in-law was left behind. The eldest son of the emperor died young, and it was the second prince's turn to be the second prince under the imperial concubine's knee. Unfortunately, the imperial concubine has a flamboyant temper, and the emperor has concerns. , so we need a queen who is not strong, looking at the harem, apart from Mu Xiaoxiao, I am afraid that there is no suitable one."

"So the empress dowager and the crown prince check each other. Although the imperial concubine is the biological mother of the prince, but there is a queen in the middle palace. After a hundred years of the emperor, she will not be the empress dowager, so she avoids the worry of listening to the government behind the curtain, right?" Mu Luoluo was bitten by Su Qingwan. His heart trembled, and he stretched out his hand to scratch Su Qingwan's itchy spot.

"Who says it's not? When the previous dynasty understands it, they will naturally stop making noise." Su Qingwan was always ticklish, and hid in the couch while laughing, "Good sister, I was wrong, please forgive me."

"I've spared you this time, but I'll beg for mercy next time." Mu Luoluo smiled, her hands kept moving.For a while, the two rolled into a ball on the couch.

"Your Majesty." The maidservant Hu Po's voice sounded outside the curtain.

"What's the matter?" Su Qingwan held down Mu Luoluo's troublesome paw, gave her a coquettish look, and signaled her to calm down.

"Second young lady greets you." Hu Po did not come in, but said at the door.

"Please come in quickly." Su Qingwan pushed Mu Luoluo, motioning her to get up, "Mother didn't mention in the letter from home that Huai Yu's wife would come to pay her respects, why is it so abrupt this time."

"I don't know if it was a sudden intention." Mu Luoluo got up, and at the same time reached out to help Su Qingwan up.

"Youyi pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is safe." Su Yun's Yun Youyi was led by Hu Po into the Nuan Pavilion, graceful and graceful.

"When I was at home, I heard that there was a girl in Yun's family who was beautiful, and her frown and frown were like a Luoshen. Today I saw her, she is really extraordinary." Su Qingwan waved to Yun Youyi, motioning her to sit beside her .

"Elder Sister was joking." Yun Youyi smiled shyly and timidly, she was really shy as a new wife.

"Why did you come to Beijing suddenly this time, and there is no letter." Su Qingwan held Yun Youyi's hand, feeling satisfied.

"Huaiyu was granted the title of General Yunhui, and came to the capital to thank her. Now she is also in the Su family, but she has never met the eldest sister, so she followed her to Beijing to pay her respects to the elder sister." Yun Youyi replied, "Come along along the way." Greetings to Aunt Concubine Yun."

"I didn't know about Huaiyu's appointment as an official." Su Qingwan was startled, raised her head and looked at Mu Luoluo, who shook her head, also not knowing, "When did this happen?"

"It may be ten days since the edict came down." Yun Youyi replied after thinking for a while, "At the same time, the second son of the An family was awarded the title of doctor of the fourth rank."

Su Qingwan's heart suddenly came to a sudden when she heard the words, it was just to comfort Su'an's family for the purpose of conferring the empress dowager.

"Mother asked me to bring something to elder sister." Yun Youyi waved her hand to the little maid behind her, who brought up a heavy carved wooden box.

"What is this?" Su Qingwan wondered.

"Mother said, now that the middle palace is settled and the favor is fixed, the elder sister must be fully prepared, and she can rest easy." Yun Youyi said, then raised her eyes and smiled at Mu Luoluo. My dear, I only hope that everything will go well for the eldest sister, but don't forget the honor and disgrace of the Su family."

Su Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly opened the carved wooden box, inside was a neatly folded wedding dress.

"Mother..." Su Qingwan looked at Daiqing in the box, tears filled her eyes.

"How can elder sister shed tears at such a happy event?" Yun Youyi said with a smile.

Mu Luoluo knew that she didn't need to hide any more, she stepped forward and blessed Yun Youyi, "Thank Madam Su for me."

"Why should a family be so polite?" Yun Youyi hurriedly stood up and returned the gift. "My mother also said that she made an appointment with Lingci in the past, and now she is still paying her back."

"It's just that the elder sister should not be public in her actions. After all, in the deep palace, a little carelessness will be a disaster for the family." Before Yun Youyi married into the Su family, she had heard a little about the affection between the two, and now she saw her , really enviable.

"Don't worry, let mother rest assured." Su Qingwan patted the back of Yun Youyi's hand, "You just need to live a peaceful and stable life with Huaiyu, and others will handle the rest of the matter. Only by performing their own duties can we protect Su Parents thrive."

"Sister, take out the wedding dress and have a look." Yun Youyi urged with a smile.

A red cloud flew across Su Qingwan's face, she was actually shy and timid for a moment.

Mu Luoluo smiled softly, and asked Su Qingwan to bring out the wedding dress, who knew that there was another wedding dress under the wedding dress, Mu Luoluo looked at Yun Youyi in bewilderment.

"Marriage is a matter of one person." Yun Youyi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Mother said that this dress was made by Ling Ci herself, and it has been stored in her hands for six years."

Mu Luoluo's hands were trembling just like her heart. When she picked up the clothes, a piece of paper fell leisurely, and the characters on the yellowed paper were very familiar.

"We make the wedding dress together with Wenjuan. I only hope that my daughter and Qianjin will marry together and have a good relationship forever."

Su Qingwan raised her head and looked at Mu Luoluo, who also looked back.When the two mothers made the wedding dresses, they never thought that the two would get married.

The black wedding dress, with silver silk snow phoenix, is for Su Qingwan; the black wedding dress, with gold thread and silk radish, is for Mu Luoluo.

The concubine is originally a silk radish, but she is willing to entrust a phoenix to a phoenix; they live together and sleep together.

"I wish Elder Sister and Sister Mu a happy union forever, and a happy marriage for a hundred years."

·

"Aunt Yin can't come, so I'll comb your hair for you." Mu Luoluo stood behind Mu Xiaoxiao, holding her black hair, and looked at her in the mirror. As shy as possible.

"Eldest sister is like a mother." Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and lowered her head, playing with the corners of her clothes. The black queen's wedding dress was delivered on the day the emperor ordered it. The elder sister will take care of you. I will be in the middle palace for a day in the future, and I will definitely protect the peace of the two elder sisters."

Mu Luoluo smiled, but didn't answer.Dip the osmanthus oil with a comb, and gently follow Mu Xiaoxiao's black hair.

"One comb to the head, two combs to the tail, three combs with white hair and eyebrows, four combs full of children and grandchildren, five combs..."

Mu Luoluo's deep and gentle voice echoed in the room. Mu Xiaoxiao looked at herself in the mirror, and felt a little strange. Did anyone think of the current situation a year ago today?

"Elder Sister is also going to marry Sister Su today." Mu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, "Do you want to take Zhen'er Zhu'er back?"

"If it's possible, it's naturally the best. After all, these two girls grew up with us since they were young, and they are better than family members." Mu Luoluo replied.

"Why not." Mu Xiaoxiao laughed softly, "Today's big wedding, His Majesty arranged for the descendants to be around the knees, and the blessed old mothers will come to serve. I am also worried that the little maids will not be treated kindly, so it is okay for my sister to take them away good."

"That's fine, then thank the empress." Mu Luoluo's tone was half serious and half joking.

Mu Xiaoxiao also laughed, and when she smiled, her pearls and emeralds jingled.

Green smoke curled up from the incense burner, and the sky outside the window was dim. It was just the end of the third watch, and it was still early.
