"I just want to ask you about something important. It's such a trivial matter." Ruan Meiren smiled. It is said that it is not easy for me to give birth, and I don't have that kind of blessing, and I can't compare with Sister Jin's stomach."

Mu Luoluo raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, the words were quite meaningful.

"Is this also the reason for Sister Xianfei?" Su Qingwan just pretended not to have heard of it, and continued to ask casually.

"We can't know what's going on with Concubine Xian's body." Ruan Meiren shook her head, signaling the little maid to serve herself a bowl of soup, and sipped it.

After lunch, Ruan Meiren stayed in Shangqing Palace and talked with Su Qingwan for a few rounds. During the period, she chatted a little about Lin Qingyin's current situation, while Mu Luoluo sewed new clothes and listened to the conversation between the two. .

At the second quarter of Yin time, when it was time for Su Qingwan to take a medicinal bath, Ruan Meiren just left.

"Beauty Jin is also lucky, she just gave birth to the princess, and she is pregnant again." Su Qingwan said while undressing.

"How is her life good? She doesn't want her life." Mu Luoluo stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the water. It had been prepared for a long time, and it was a little cold. "When Princess He Xin was born, the fetal position was not right. I also advise her not to give birth again within a year."

"She doesn't live for herself. What can she do? There is a whole Silla behind her." Su Qingwan passed behind Mu Luoluo.

"What are you doing!" Mu Luoluo exclaimed, and it was too late to raise her hand to block it, the blue hair that had lost the restraint of her hairpin fell down.

"Let's go together." Su Qingwan smiled and raised the hairpin in her hand, "Every time you take a medicinal bath, you read a book on the sidelines, which is boring, and the buckets on the left and right are also big, so it's better to go with you and me."

"Nonsense." Mu Luoluo scolded with a smile, and stretched out her hand to snatch the hairpin from Su Qingwan's hand, "This medicine bath was originally for your body to nourish your body. If I were with you, I'd jump up and down. Wouldn't it be nice if I caught a cold again? The gain outweighs the loss."

How could Su Qingwan easily let her take the hairpin back, deftly turned sideways, and at the same time pulled away from Mu Luoluo, Mu Luoluo was caught off guard, couldn't stand steadily, and fell forward.

This was exactly what Su Qingwan wanted, she put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, and lay down on the back, and the two of them fell into the bathtub together.The hairpin fell to the ground, and the water splashed everywhere.

"You're not afraid of knocking yourself!" Mu Luoluo changed places with Su Qingwan the moment she fell down, and now she happened to be crushed by Su Qingwan. Fortunately, there was enough water and the bucket was padded with cushions. Never bumped.

"It hurts!" Su Qingwan supported her temples, and shouted kindly, "My dear sister, just stay with me."

"Next time, stop messing around." Mu Luoluo had no choice but to poke Su Qingwan on the forehead with her hand.

Su Qingwan nodded with a smile, lay down obediently, put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, put her head on Mu Luoluo's heart, and listened to her gradually calming heartbeat.

The emperor's southern tour lasted for a full month and a half. When he returned from the southern tour, he ordered the harem to prepare for the marriage of the first princess.

Mu Xiaoxiao was busy preparing for the September draft, so she didn't have time to be a separate body for a while, so she had to leave the matter to the concubine Xian and the noble concubine.

For a while, the public began to speculate on which family the first princess would marry after having dinner with the concubines.After all, because of Empress Sheng Xiaoren, the emperor loved the first princess so much that he was able to get married.

For a while, no matter whether it was a new noble or an aristocratic family in the imperial city, they had been guessed over and over again, but they still couldn't figure out why. All the concubines in the harem were full of curiosity, but they couldn't answer. day, to be at ease.

In May, katydids move their stocks, and in June, Shaji vibrates their feathers.

Fire flows in July, reeds in August, and clothes in September.

Su Qingwan sat in the pavilion with a fishing rod, leaning lazily on the stone pillar, watching the ripples on the water surface in a trance.Mu Luoluo stood on the sidelines, throwing bait into the water from time to time, in exchange for Su Qingwan giving her a coquettish stare.

A commotion gradually came from not far away, Mu Luoluo listened intently, and then calculated the time, "It's Xiu Nu who entered the palace."

"I'm used to being idle, and I didn't pay attention to the passage of time for a while." Su Qingwan stretched her waist, seeing that the golden carp was lured to the side by Mu Luoluo's bait, and she simply put it away. "The draft is over, and you should be busy for a while." of."

"That's right, maybe half of the maids in the Shangqing Palace are old." Mu Luoluo could accurately throw the bait into the middle of the fish every time, causing all the golden carps to jump out of the water to fight for it.

"Choose some younger maids, give them an extra month's salary, let those who are old enough stay for an extra month, and teach them the rules." Su Qingwan said.

"Alright." Mu Luoluo nodded, and wiped off the bait residue on her hands, "Do you want to go see Xiu Nu?"

"No." Su Qingwan shook her head, "It's not up to me to decide what to leave behind. Besides, the most beautiful scenery is already by my side, so why bother to see those Yingying Yanyans?"

"A few days ago, the Inner Court Secretary sent the roster, and I saw a girl from the Duanmu family." Mu Luoluo sat next to Su Qingwan, and raised her hand to pinch Su Qingwan's cheek.

"Oh?" Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and then laughed, "The four great families in the south of the Yangtze River are about to be complete. If it wasn't for the Feng family's ancestors' instruction not to be concubines, there might be a tea party for the daughters of the four great families in this palace. "

"I saw her name was circled in red." Mu Luoluo looked at Su Qingwan thoughtfully.

"That means you have to enter the palace no matter what." Su Qingwan suppressed her smile when she heard the words, and quietly looked back at Mu Luoluo. It was the same with her back then.

Mu Luoluo smiled slightly, and raised her hand to pull Su Qingwan into her arms, and Su Qingwan leaned obediently on Mu Luoluo's shoulder.

"It doesn't matter what happened in the past, we are together now, and the future will be the same, that's enough." Mu Luoluo kissed Su Qingwan lightly on the forehead.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here." Jin Qing suddenly appeared, and the two separated immediately.

"My younger sister is so elegant, she still has the mind to go fishing here." As soon as Jin Qing finished speaking, Concubine Song stepped into the pavilion.

"Your Majesty's talent show, filling the harem, was originally for the sake of spreading branches and leaves for the Tian family. I think it will be more lively in the future, so I am in a good mood." Su Qingwan got up and met Song Guifei, and said with a smile, "Furthermore, there is a queen in the talent show." The empress and the two older sisters are guarding the gate, the younger sister just waits for the newcomer to enter the palace, but how did the older sister come out?"

"The empress dowager came in in a good mood, so she went to see the beautiful lady herself. I was bored inside, so I just came out for a walk." Song Guifei picked up a snack from the table, "Do you know that the first person left by your majesty this year is Which girl?"

"When the roster was delivered that day, I didn't look at it carefully, and I don't have to guess now." Su Qingwan shook her head. Every year in the draft, the first girl left behind will be the one with the highest ranking in this draft. one.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Ban family." Concubine Song sat down at the table, and Jin Qing stepped forward to pour tea from the pot.

"Ban's family?" Su Qingwan frowned, and exchanged glances with Mu Luoluo, "But Shang Shu's right servant shot?"

"Exactly." Song Guifei nodded, "This year is twenty-nine."

"My servant heard that during the draft three years ago, the eldest daughter of the Ban family hadn't reached the age of Ji, and she hadn't been engaged since then. That's why." Mu Luoluo looked at Su Qingwan's puzzled face, and then took the initiative to answer.

"The news about you, servant girl, is clear. It's not in vain that my sister Concubine Shu has worked so hard to beg you with the Empress." Concubine Song laughed.

"Even so, what's the matter? Now that the emperor and empress are in harmony, and the crown prince is diligent, what can she do." Su Qingwan quickly understood the meaning of Concubine Song's words, "Don't worry, sister, no one can compare to her status. "

"Look where my sister is going, I just want to say that the Zhang family has fallen, and the Ban family has also contributed. Now that one of the four concubines is missing, and the Ban family enters the palace, I think it will soon fill this vacancy." Song Guifei got it. The answer I want, I don't bother anymore, "My sister's complexion is still not very good. I heard that a new imperial doctor came to the Imperial Hospital a few days ago, but there are some ways to regulate Qi and blood. If you are free, call me It's good to see."

"Please worry about my sister, the old imperial physician Han has always been taking care of my younger sister's body, but I don't know that a new imperial physician has arrived at the imperial hospital." Su Qingwan changed the subject following Concubine Song.

"My younger sister stays in the palace all day long, and she doesn't come out for a walk, and I don't know what treasures are hidden in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, which makes my younger sister fascinated." Song Guifei laughed and said, "If it weren't for this servant girl's better ears, you are afraid Blind and deaf."

"My sister taught me a lesson." Su Qingwan glanced at her treasure hidden in the palace, and pursed her lips into a smile. The latter lowered her head, but she couldn't see the expression.

"It's time for my son to leave school, and I'll go back first." Concubine Song stood up, "It's also late autumn now, and the wind is getting cooler. It's better to go to the Royal Garden for a walk when you have nothing to do, it's better than sitting here It’s better when the wind blows.”

"Thank you, sister, for your concern." Su Qingwan blessed Fushen, "My sister sees that my mother is quite interested in this snack, and I will send some maids to send some to Yanqing Palace in a while."

"Sister is really considerate." Song Guifei bowed back, and then left in a hurry just like when she came.

"The treasure of my Shangqing palace not only fascinated me, but also fascinated me so much that I couldn't move an inch, so I have to keep it with me at all times." Su Qingwan waited for Song Guifei to go away, and then teased Mu Luoluo.

"It's not enough to be fascinated." Mu Luoluo took a step forward and forced Su Qingwan to the stone pillar, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I still have to turn Luan Feng upside down."

Su Qingwan blushed instantly, and before she could say anything, her lips were sealed by Mu Luoluo.

On September [-]th, a total of eight newly drafted women entered the palace together.The daughters of the Ban's family were awarded the title of Baolin of the sixth rank, the daughters of the Duanmu family and the daughters of the Shu family were granted the title of the royal daughter of the seventh rank, and the other five were all the daughters of the eighth rank.

On the day of entering the palace, she was supposed to pay homage to the empress with full courtesy, but Mu Xiaoxiao was caught in the cold because of the exhaustion of the draft, and was unable to get up for a while. The emperor simply avoided paying homage, and only paid homage to the empress dowager. This is no different from the draft three years ago .

On the day Xiunu entered the palace, Ban's servants went to bed, and the next day she was promoted to be a fifth-rank talented woman. The reasons for this are well known to all the concubines in the harem.

In the late autumn, the wind is strong, and the colorful flags on both sides of Ganlin Gate are fluttering. They are in the wind and rain, watching the countless skirts passing by with cold eyes.
