"Go to the Inner Court Department to ask for more cotton this year, and make some jackets to wear, so that the little maids don't have to work hard these few days, and each make more winter clothes to keep out the cold." Mu Luoluo pulled a few bright satin and put them on on the table, and then picked a few plain horses, then waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to step back.

"Luo Luo is really considerate of the servants, but, if I don't ask them to serve, who will serve me?" Su Qingwan looked at the satin that Mu Luo failed to choose, and it was quite satisfactory, so she stopped picking more and left some for others.

"Isn't it not enough for the empress to have servants to serve her? Then simply add a few more maids to the Nuan Pavilion, which will also increase the monthly fee." Jin Qing laughed.

"You girl, your mouth is getting more and more tricky. I don't know who you learned from." Su Qingwan raised her hand and twisted Viola's cheeks gently.

"Auntie Luoluo is the role model for everyone in the Shangqing Palace, so the slaves and maidservants naturally learned from Auntie." Jin Qing used Mu Luoluo as a shield.

"It's so good, I'm involved again." Mu Luoluo simply threw away the account book in her hand, and naturally couldn't read it after such a fuss, "I was thinking, now it's snowing, and it's freezing outside , you don’t leave the Nuan Pavilion for half a step, so why bother to let the maids wait outside, just stay in the Nuan Pavilion to serve, if you go out, it won’t be too late to call again.”

"I just wanted to tease you. Seeing that you are serious, I feel sorry." Su Qingwan curled her lips, looking more and more unhappy at the low table between herself and Mu Luoluo.

"Children's temper." Mu Luoluo smiled, and motioned for Jin Qing to hug all the satin on the low table.

"It's been nearly two months since the rookie girl entered the palace, but it's been calm. As expected, there is still a difference whether there is a middle palace or not." Su Qingwan lay on the low table, resting her chin on her hands, staring at Mu Luoluo seriously.

"Ban's family is charming and noble, and her temperament is quite similar to yours, and she is the oldest. Naturally, she can't make any trouble." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and tapped the tip of Su Qingwan's nose, and pushed the inkstone away. He came to her and motioned her to grind ink for himself, "Ms. Duanmu has been ill for more than a month. She has never been in bed for more than a month, and she has no tendency to be a demon. The rest of the rookies are all small families, and they are self-sufficient. .”

"The Shu family in Pengshan Pavilion is also a small family?" Su Qingwan was a little surprised, "I heard her remarks during the routine visit last month, it doesn't seem like a small family."

"Shu's father is just a ninth-rank official in Chuzhou. If he has seen the world, it is just a drop in the bucket." Mu Luoluo picked up the ledger again and wrote a note. It was born of a concubine, and has been kept under the lap of her biological mother."

"No wonder she cares about Xiaoxiao's background." Su Qingwan sneered, "In the future, I'm afraid it will be endless."

"She doesn't stop, so what can she do?" Mu Luoluo raised her eyes and glanced at Su Qingwan, "There is the middle palace on top, and the prince's birth mother, and the Ban family Duanmu family also entered the palace together, so what can it be her turn to do?" .”

"It's strange to say that if you want to hide from the limelight, one month is more than enough. In a few days, this Duanmu family will have been bedridden for two months. She can really hold her breath." Su Qingwan pushed the ground ink to the In front of Mu Luoluo, she took the handkerchief from Jinqing to wipe her hands, and picked up the embroidery shed again.

"I'm afraid I have other ideas." Mu Luoluo said casually.

Su Qingwan listened, but she didn't take it to heart. As long as it doesn't implicate Luoluo, what other people think has nothing to do with her.

"Sister, why did you come here suddenly? It's snowing outside, and you don't see the maids opening umbrellas. You should be punished." Su Qingwan was lying on the couch in a daze, but she didn't want Ruan Meiren to open the curtain and come in.

"It's just a little snow." Ruan Meiren took off her snow-stained cloak, and stood beside the earth dragon to warm her hands. "Jin Meiren gave birth suddenly, Wuyou Pavilion is in a mess, and even Qingyou Pavilion can't live in peace, so I simply come here to ask for peace."

"Beauty Jin gave birth?" Su Qingwan frowned. "Counting the months, Beauty Jin should have given birth in the twelfth lunar month. Now it's only the end of winter. Why..."

"It's a coincidence that Jin Meiren has been lethargic for the past few days, but today she has regained her energy. She was walking back and forth in the courtyard and accidentally slipped and fell. This is a premature birth." Ruan Meiren warmed up and came. Sitting on the couch, Jinqing brought ginger soup in a timely manner, "The incident happened in a hurry, fortunately, the imperial doctor Wen Po was on standby in Wuyou Pavilion early in the morning, and she didn't appear to be flustered, but when I left, it sounded like there was a faint sign of bleeding."

"It's pitiful." Su Qingwan sighed. She was alone in a foreign country, but she had to risk her life for the glory of her mother's family. Send it to You Pavilion, and if you have more than a thousand years of ginseng, send some to it too."

"Yes." Jin Qing took the lead and went down.

"Women give birth to a child, they have always walked through the gate of hell, and I don't know if Mrs. Jin can get out." Ruan Meiren stretched out her hand to take a walnut, and peeled it slowly.

"There's nothing left and right, how about a little sister and I talk?" Su Qingwan smiled, Mu Luoluo disappeared early in the morning, and she didn't know where she went.

"That's good." Ruan Meiren also became interested. Winter is always boring, so it's good to find something to kill time.

Hu Po came up to play chess, Su Qingwan thought for a while and then ordered, "Send someone to the Wuyou Pavilion to take a look. If there is any accident, call the old doctor Han to see it immediately."

"Yes." Amber replied.

Ruan Meiren listened, and handed the wooden box containing the white zi to Su Qingwan. ①

The old imperial physician Han is a veteran of the imperial hospital. He was supposed to return to his hometown due to his old age, but he didn't want Su Qingwan to enter the palace, so he voluntarily stayed and only took care of Su Qingwan, just to repay the old general Su for his kindness.

"The newcomers who entered the palace this year are quite peaceful. What do you think, sister?" Su Qingwan asked casually.

Ever since Mu Luo fell into the palace, Su Qingwan cared less and less about the concubines in the harem, so she couldn't disturb the Shangqing Palace.Mu Luoluo, on the other hand, upholds the usual style, and always pays attention to the details, but Su Qingwan doesn't ask about it, and Mu Luoluo doesn't take the initiative to mention it.

"That's all for the sake of it, but this Jiangxueyuan is really interesting." Ruan Meiren followed suit, reached out to bring tea and took a sip.

"Jiang Xueyuan?" Su Qingwan frowned slightly, but the white piece in her hand did not drop for a while.

"The Ban family in the main wing and the Duanmu family in the east wing." Ruan Meiren held a sunspot between them, and lightly touched Su Qingwan's hand hanging on the chessboard.

"I don't know about Ban's family. I only know that Duanmu's family has just served in bed a few days ago, but she has not been promoted. It stands to reason that even if it is to win over Duanmu's family, she should be carried to Baolin." Su Qingwan said The white piece in his hand fell down, picked up another one, and dropped it right after Ruan Meiren.

"Perhaps I have to wait for the New Year to be rewarded, and I am also happy." Ruan Meiren never thought that Su Qingwan would fall so quickly, and her thoughts were interrupted for a while, and she had to think carefully, "What I want to say is not This matter."

"Huh?" Su Qingwan took advantage of the gap in Ruan Meiren's thinking, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then made the tea without thinking about it after Ruan Meiren's.

"Your Majesty is pressing her every step of the way, but she really doesn't leave anyone with any room for reincarnation." Ruan Meiren couldn't help laughing.

Su Qingwan only smiled slightly, it turned out that Mu Luoluo always looked forward, whether she was doing things or playing chess, she always watched hundreds of steps, so that sometimes before Su Qingwan made a move, Mu Luoluo had already figured out how to deal with it, and the speed of her moves was surprisingly fast.

After playing chess with Mu Luoluo for a long time, Su Qingwan's move speed has naturally become faster. Although she is inferior to Mu Luoluo, she is still better than others.

It's just that she didn't know where Luoluo went, and there was no one there for a long time, Su Qingwan glanced at the door, feeling displeased.

"Ms. Duanmu's lingering illness has been in bed so far. One is two people who are taking good care of her. One is Ban's, and the other is the new imperial doctor from the imperial hospital." Ruan Meiren's marriage was beyond Su Qingwan's expectation. There was a gap of relief.

"Ban's family and Duanmu's family are from the same township, and they are in the same yard. It seems that there is nothing wrong with supporting each other." Su Qingwan hesitated for a moment before she was able to let Bai Zi down. "A concubine is seriously ill, and it is also in accordance with the etiquette to appoint an imperial physician to take care of her."

"It's rare, it's rare. The ancestral home of Imperial Physician Liu is also Tingzhou." Ruan Meiren raised her eyes, and glanced at Su Qingwan meaningfully.

"This kind of thing can't be confused, maybe it's just a coincidence." Su Qingwan understood, and nodded slightly, "How can we intervene in other people's affairs."

"Who said it wasn't." Ruan Meiren saw that Su Qingwan's interest was weak, so she knew that this matter was not enough to affect Su Qingwan's mood, which was true, after all, Mu Luoluo had not been implicated.

There was no words for a moment, both of them were focused on the chess game.

After a hearty round, it was Su Qingwan who narrowly defeated Ruan Meiren with a single glance. When the two raised their eyes, the window had already cleared up.

"Ma'am, a princess has already been born in the Wuyou Pavilion." Hu Po came up and said, "Mother and daughter are safe, but Jin Meiren has a slight blood loss, which hurt her foundation. The old doctor Han said that she might not dare to have another child in the future."

"Amitabha, I've made it through this time." Beauty Ruan chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. The child born by Beauty Jin at the risk of her life is still a princess. I don't know how many families in this palace are happy and how many are sad. It's too early, I will leave first."

"Princess Hehua is still young, just the age to be clingy." Su Qingwan got up and sent Ruan Meiren to the door of the Nuan Pavilion, "My sister is free in daily life, so why not go to the Princess Garden for a walk, during the holidays, Qingyou Pavilion will not be desolate .”

Ruan Meiren looked back and smiled slightly at Su Qingwan. The concubine Shu's golden mouth opened her mouth, giving her the right to enter and leave the Princess Garden. "Thank you, Concubine Shu."

Su Qing Wanfu returned a half bow, watched Ruan Meiren leave, then turned and returned to the couch, watching the endgame in a trance.

"What are you thinking about?" When Mu Luoluo opened the curtain and came in, she happened to see Su Qingwan staring at the endgame, slowly tapping the table with a black spot between her fingertips.

"I wonder where you went today." Su Qingwan came back to her senses, and said to Mu Luoluo tenderly and angrily.

"I've always been in Nannuan Xiaozhu, but Concubine Shu is busy with affairs, so she never went to look for me." Mu Luoluo smiled, standing beside the earth dragon and warming her hands, her fingers flushed.

"I don't know what held your attention in Nannuan Xiaozhu, it actually caused you to run over there every day." Su Qingwan snorted softly, ignoring Mu Luoluo's flushed cheeks for a while.

"I'm in Nannuan Xiaozhu, and I prepared a winter gift for Wan'er." Mu Luoluo walked up to Su Qingwan's side, and put his hand on her face.
