"Hao'er! Run slowly, and be careful not to fall!" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the fifth prince who was jolly running not far away, and raised her voice worriedly.

"Xiaoxiao is really looking like a mother." Su Qingwan joked with a smile.

"It's a very active age now, and my body is still skinny. I've been holding back for a whole winter, so I can play around." Mu Luoluo followed Su Qingwan, comforting her in a gentle voice, "With the third prince taking care of me, everything will be fine." .”

"Rong'er is a good brother, and Hao'er is also clingy to him, so there's nothing to worry about when they play together." Su Qingwan echoed.

"That being said, as a mother, I have to worry more." Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen my sister go out and walk around, and it's just a coincidence that I met her in the Imperial Garden."

"She has always been very lazy. If there is nothing else to do in winter, I have never seen her take half a step out of the warm pavilion." Mu Luoluo smiled and said, "It's just that the weather is fine today, so I can persuade her to come out for a walk."

"I'm afraid it's not that Sister Su is lazy, I think it's Eldest Sister who made Sister Su feel sick." Mu Xiaoxiao raised her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile.

"Listen to this girl, her mouth is getting smarter." Su Qingwan blushed, and reached out to poke Mu Xiaoxiao's forehead.

"It doesn't matter if the world is not concerned about the mother's rites, and I can give my sister a clean world in the palace. As a queen, I am worthy of the elder sister's cultivation." Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief. She really wanted to thank Mu Luoluo, if Mu Luoluo hadn't entered the palace wholeheartedly for Su Qingwan, she wouldn't be where she is today.

"Concubine Shu fell out of favor, this is something that everyone in the palace knows." Su Qingwan's tone was brisk, and she didn't have the look of being depressed and sick because of falling out of favor. Mu's daughter has been sealed for two years and has passed."

"If other people know that my sister's concubine is relying on intelligence, I think this myth will not pass." Mu Xiaoxiao laughed.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to tour the south in a few days, is this serious?" Su Qingwan didn't care at all, talking about him left and right.

"It was originally scheduled to go south to Weibo for a private visit on the sixth day of March, but because I was worried about my return to Ning, I postponed it to March 28th, so that the Mu family can make preparations." Mu Xiaoxiao said.

"It really is the empress's love." Su Qingwan laughed.

"It's also my luck." Mu Luoluo agreed, Su Qingwan turned her head with a smile, and kissed Mu Luoluo's face.

Mu Xiaoxiao was startled at first, and looked around, but fortunately, she was surrounded by confidantes, and then said, "It can't compare to the two sisters who are so affectionate, singing together."

"That's natural." Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, flamboyantly.

"Eldest sister, look at Sister Su, she is becoming more and more spoiled by elder sister." Mu Xiaoxiao gently pushed Su Qingwan, jokingly said.

"The past two years have been peaceful, so I forgot how to behave." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and pinched Su Qingwan's ear, signaling her to calm down.

"That's right, His Majesty has drawn up an order for the draft in September this year." Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Su Qingwan really restrained herself a lot, and sighed in her heart, "When the newcomer enters the palace, I'm afraid it will not stop for a while."

"Those in high positions think far away." Su Qingwan returned to her usual normal state, and let out a light breath.

"See father!" The fifth prince's childish voice sounded from the corner not far ahead.

"I forgot the time for a while, and it's time for His Majesty to come down." Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, "Sister, hurry up and go."

"If you're free, I'll treat the empress to tea some other day." Su Qingwan blessed her body, and quickly left along the side path with Mu Luoluo.

"I don't know which family's girl will enter the palace this year." Su Qingwan sat on the swing, and Mu Luoluo gently pushed behind her.

"Whoever's girl, as long as she doesn't reach out to my Shangqing Palace, it's naturally the best. If she has any crooked thoughts, she can't keep any of them." Su Qingwan said calmly, the broken hair by her ears followed suit. Sway freely in the wind.

"Crazy." Mu Luoluo laughed softly.

"You are only allowed to be crazy for me, and I am not allowed to be crazy for you. What's the point?" Su Qingwan turned her head and looked at Mu Luoluo. This person was the origin of her madness, the only origin. go together?"

"No, Miss Mu's family has passed away for three years." Mu Luoluo said with a smile, "If I go back again, I will scare the neighbors."

"That's true." Su Qingwan laughed, "From now on, if you stay by my side, it won't be scary. For the rest, don't even think about going anywhere."

"Where you are, I will be there, no matter where."

Su Qingwan raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, the sun was shining on her face, it was very warm, she loved her behind her back, the breeze was in her ears, and her heart was at ease.

On March 28, the emperor went south for a tour in micro-clothes, accompanied by Empress Mu and concubine Song, and the entourage of the first princess Heshuo.The Fifth Prince was young and entrusted to Concubine An Xian to take care of him.

"Luoluo, come and have a look, how is the painting going?" Su Qingwan put down the pen, tilted her head to admire her wonderful painting, and waited for a while, but no one responded.

"Luoluo? Luoluo!" Su Qingwan raised her voice to call twice, but no one responded. Su Qingwan frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

"Jinqing!" Su Qingwan called out again.

It was Hu Po who broke through the curtain and came in. "What is your order?"

"Where did Luo Luo go?" Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly Jin Qing was not there.

"Go back to your mother, Aunt Luoluo is pruning flower branches in the backyard." Hupo paused for a moment, "Zhiqing is here too, do you want to call them back?"

"No need, I'll go and have a look." Su Qingwan took the handkerchief from the little maid beside her and wiped her hands, and Amber opened the curtain to make it easier for Su Qingwan to come in and out.

In the backyard, Mu Luoluo walked around the hibiscus and cut it, Jin Qing stood aside, holding a blue and white porcelain vase in her arms, and had already inserted a few hibiscus flowers here and there.

"Your Majesty." Jin Qing was the first to see Su Qingwan, and she was blessed.

"Did you finish the painting?" Mu Luoluo's eyes still stayed on Fusang.I asked casually.

"En." Su Qingwan responded, walked to Jin Qing's side, and looked at the flowers in her vase, "Why did you cut some that haven't fully bloomed yet?"

"The ones that are in full bloom can't be kept in the house for a few days." Mu Luoluo continued, "The ones that haven't fully bloomed can still be seen in the house for a few more days if you add water."

"He came out without saying a word, so it's easy for me to find." Su Qingwan curled her lips.

"Look at your devotion to painting, you didn't dare to interrupt rashly, so you came out quietly with Viola." Mu Luoluo handed the scissors to the little maid beside her, walked up to Su Qingwan, raised her hand and pinched the tip of her nose.

"Are you going to the palace to escape the summer heat this year?" Su Qingwan leaned forward and kissed Mu Luoluo's cheek, then took Mu Luoluo's hand and walked back.

"No." Although Mu Luoluo was afraid of the heat, she didn't want Su Qingwan to be exhausted.

"That's good." Su Qingwan blinked, and thought through the reason why Mu Luoluo refused so simply, "Do you still have the dim sum you made yesterday?"

"It's gone, I gave it to the girls last night, and it will be bad overnight." Mu Luoluo said, "If you want to eat it, just make a new one."

"I'll be with you." Su Qingwan agreed without hesitation, then turned around and ordered, "Jin Qing, tell the small kitchen to prepare the ingredients."

"Yes." Jinqing replied.

"Go invite Ruan Meiren to sit down with you, it's been a long time." Su Qingwan thought for a while and added, "Ask her to bring some spices."

"What else do you want to mix?" Mu Luoluo frowned slightly. Su Qingwan's level of perfume mixing was probably all biased towards Miangui, and everything else was a waste of spices.

"Miangui!" Su Qingwan guessed from Mu Luoluo's expression what she was thinking, so she said angrily.

Mu Luoluo laughed, and even Jin Qing couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Su Qingwan.

"My sister's childish picture is vivid and interesting." Standing in front of the table, Ruan Meiren carefully looked at the painting that Su Qingwan had just drawn.

"A few days ago, I went to Shoukang Palace and watched the Fifth Prince playing around. It was cute and interesting, so I drew it today." Su Qingwan just came back from the small kitchen, and she just went too far, so she had to change all the clothes on her body. up.

"I don't know what kind of incense the empress wants to mix, so I brought some spices." Ruan Meiren waved her hand, and the little maid behind her offered the brocade box in her hand.

"It's just Tiao Mian Osmanthus." Su Qingwan opened her eyes, stretched out her hand to pick out a few and handed them to Jin Qing, "You can take back the other ones, lest I waste them."

When Su Qingwan said this, Mu Luoluo opened the curtain and came in, and Su Qingwan stared at her for nothing.

Mu Luoluo looked puzzled, and looked at Ruan Meiren, who quietly pointed to the brocade box in the hand of the little maid, and then Mu Luoluo realized it.

"If your majesty is missing something, let me know, and I will send someone to bring it to your majesty." Ruan Meiren pursed her lips and sat down.

"How are you doing recently?" Su Qingwan sat down opposite Ruan Meiren. "I heard that since Princess He Xin was born, Jin Meiren has often gone to Qingyou Pavilion."

"That's right, His Majesty gave her permission to raise Princess Hexin herself, but that child is also troubled, and most of the time she doesn't sleep well at night, so she came to ask me how to make a soothing incense." Ruan Meiren said. Picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Good tea."

"This is also a vigilant one." Su Qingwan chuckled, and asked about the method of making it, instead of asking for Anshenxiang, the reason for it is self-evident.

"After all, it's in the palace, who should be on guard." Ruan Meiren smiled and shook her head, not caring at all.

"Then let me tell you clearly, I left out all the dishes for today." Su Qingwan joked.

"It's a blessing to be able to be buried with Concubine Shu." Ruan Meiren also smiled, and took the lead to take the chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

"There is one thing that I've always been curious about. I don't know if my sister can answer one or two things." Su Qingwan asked casually while serving food for Mu Luoluo.

"Your Majesty just ask." Ruan Meiren looked at the intimacy between the two of them, and guessed about the context. Looking back on the past two years, she couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"My sister has been in the palace for many years. Although she is not a great favor, she still has her age. Why don't she have a son and a half daughter under her knees?" Su Qingwan said.
