Tangled

Mu Luoluo was in good health, and the emperor rewarded her with high-quality medicinal materials and supplements for her meritorious escort, and she fully recovered within a few days.

On the contrary, Su Qingwan was so anxious that she lost her energy and blood, and was bedridden again. On the contrary, she solved the predicament of showing off that day.

Mu Xiaoxiao was fine, and the matter of returning to the palace early was shelved, and she still left at the end of October as usual.

"I heard that of the two little maids who were taken away that day, one couldn't bear the torture and committed suicide by biting her tongue, and the other lost her mind and couldn't say anything." Jin Qing stood beside Mu Luoluo, arranging the embroidery thread for her." I heard from the little eunuch who carried the corpse that the servant girl's ten fingers were all broken, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body."

"How did this happen?" Su Qingwan put down the scroll in her hand, and frowned slightly, "Who is in charge of torture? Such a severe punishment."

"It's Zhao Zhaorong." Mu Luo didn't raise his head, his hands kept moving, and the screen was almost finished.

"Zhao Zhaorong." Su Qingwan repeated in a low voice, "They argued that day, even if you were still alive or dead, I was also absent-minded. Thinking about it now, Zhao Zhaorong is full of doubts."

"Where is the doubt?" Mu Luoluo glanced at Su Qingwan, and then focused on her needlework.

"At first Jiang Meiren pointed the finger at Duanmu because of the snake. It can be understood that a few days ago and Princess An were frightened by Duanmu's snake and felt resentful. Zhao Zhaorong then suspected that it was justifiable. In his defense, what he said is well-founded, it doesn't mean that he is not convinced, but Zhao Zhaorong is still steadfast, which means that he will not be able to stand up." Su Qingwan paused for a moment, carefully recalling the situation that day.

"After being dismissed by Ban, Zhao Zhaorong pointed the finger at me again. Even I knew it clearly when I was roasting hares in the palace that day. Why." Su Qingwan took a sip of the tea from Jin Qing,

"Do you think someone has set up a game, and Zhao Zhaorong is just that person's pawn?" Mu Luoluo stopped what she was doing, and looked up at Su Qingwan.

"But if that's the case, it doesn't make any sense." Su Qingwan tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of doubts, "If Zhao Zhaorong is just a pawn, then she should just hold on to one person from the beginning to the end, instead of framing the Duanmu family first." , and then question me."

"It depends on the purpose of the person who set up this situation." Mu Luoluo had already heard the general situation from Jinqing that day. Although she didn't know the whole picture, it was more than enough to discuss with Su Qingwan. It was found in the purse, which means that the person who arranged the layout wanted to deal with you, at least this snake was prepared for you, as for Xiaoxiao, it was purely an accidental injury."

"That is to say, this person wanted to use snakes to deal with me and plant it on Duanmu's family, but he didn't expect that I would be with Xiaoxiao, so after Ban's dismissal, Zhao Zhaorong changed his words and framed me?" Su Qingwan frowned. "In your mind, is this person in the palace now?"

"I don't think she's in the palace right now." Mu Luoluo got up and walked towards Su Qingwan slowly, Su Qingwan slowly raised her head as she approached, "If she was in the palace, I would prepare a perfect set for Zhao Zhaorong. Speaking, there is no need to be so overwhelmed, and this person must not have expected to hurt the queen."

"In that case, I have some doubts about Shu Baolin." Su Qingwan put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, letting her smooth her frowning.

"Frown less in the future, and you will almost become a little old lady." Mu Luoluo smiled and said, "Shu Baolin is indeed harmful to you, but how can she order Zhao Zhaorong?"

"That's right." Su Qingwan nodded and rubbed against Mu Luoluo's abdomen.

"Okay, there's no way to check on the left and right now, so why bother to trouble yourself." Mu Luoluo leaned over and kissed Su Qingwan's forehead lightly, "Let this matter pass."

Su Qingwan raised her head and pecked Mu Luoluo's lips that hadn't left yet, then her eyebrows and eyes curved.

·

On October [-], he set off to return to the palace.

On October 29, Concubine Song held a full moon banquet for the six princes at Yanqing Palace, and the whole palace celebrated.

·

"The days go by so fast, and the winter solstice will be here in a blink of an eye." Su Qingwan held the stove in her arms, and stood on the porch looking at the whiteness as far as her eyes could see. The osmanthus trees in the courtyard were golden and stained with silver frost. , solemn as an old man.

"I don't wear an extra layer of clothes when I go out, and I'm not afraid of getting caught in the wind and cold." Mu Luoluo held a big cloak in his hand, and tied it on for Su Qingwan involuntarily.

"It's already thick enough." Su Qingwan smiled, and then turned around in front of Mu Luoluo, "Look, standing here, I'm actually thicker than that pillar."

"No one is looking at you." Mu Luoluo said sideways, and then exchanged the newly installed hand stove for Su Qingwan.

"Don't you look at me?" Su Qingwan blinked pretending to be wronged.

"I don't mind that you are thicker than that pillar, and it won't hurt to hold you like that." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and pinched Su Qingwan's bulging cheeks, and said with a smile.

"Okay, you despise me." Su Qingwan pursed her small mouth, and tears immediately filled her eyes, "You started to despise me after less than four years of marriage. If I am old and ugly in the future, you must not kick me out. Mother-in-law My mother passed away early, and I have no one to reason with, but I really suffered."

"Look at what you said, it's as if I'm young forever." Mu Luoluo was amused by Su Qingwan's appearance, and raised her hand to flick her forehead, "When my temples are gray, you don't think I'll be Amitabha , how dare I despise you."

"Your Majesty and Auntie, stop bickering and fighting." Jin Qing turned from the side room with a smile, and bowed in front of Su Mu and the two of them. "The small kitchen sent someone to ask, and they said that the mutton was stewed with potatoes and simmered on the fire." Let’s bring it to the empress to try something new.”

"Let's simmer, it's been less than an hour for breakfast, and I haven't digested it yet." Su Qing smiled and restored her smile in an instant, "Stew the mutton until it's rotten."

"Yes." Jin Qing replied, blinked at Mu Luoluo, and then backed away.

"This little thing has sharp eyesight." Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo playfully, "You usually don't love her for nothing."

"The maid who keeps you by your side naturally needs to be more attentive." Mu Luoluo smiled softly, stood beside Su Qingwan and tilted her head slightly, leaning on Su Qingwan's shoulder, looking at Yun Shu Yunjuan in the sky, "It must never happen again." Things like Tangquan Palace."

"It's natural." Su Qingwan curled her lips slightly, she had been quiet for a long time, and they all forgot how cruel Concubine Shu was.

There was faint laughter from Nannuan Xiaozhu. It was the little maids who were not on duty today playing in the snow again. Most of the little maids raised in the Shangqing Palace are thirteen or fourteen years old, just the naughty age.

"Go and be stubborn too, I don't need you to serve me here." Su Qingwan waved at the absent-minded little maids standing in the corridor.

The little girls who got the gifts were overjoyed, saluted hastily, and ran back to Nannuan Xiaozhu with joy, each found a little sister, and played around for fun.

"Xue Fairy has returned to the sky, will she come again this year?" Su Qingwan suddenly turned her head and looked at Mu Luoluo seriously.

Mu Luoluo was stunned, looked into Su Qingwan's eyes and pondered for a long time before she understood what Su Qingwan meant.

"Snow Fairy took too long. You are weak and can't stand the cold for so long." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and flicked Su Qingwan's forehead, and then pulled her down the corridor. good?"

"Alright." Su Qingwan readily agreed.

·

"Your Majesty is so elegant." When Beauty Ruan entered the courtyard, Su Qingwan was taking rouge out of the house, and Princess Hehua poked her head out from behind Beauty Ruan, and saw the half-person-tall snow rabbit in the yard, and suddenly jumped for joy. .

"It's cold and slippery, how did Sister Ruan come to the Qing Palace?" Su Qingwan smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of freezing Princess Hehua."

"It turned out that she was thinking about the food in the empress's palace, and clamored to come to find empress Su, but I was helpless, so I had to rely on her to disturb the empress's peace." Beauty Ruan lowered her head and rubbed Princess Hehua's hair with a smile.

"Come on, He Hua is here with Miss Su." Su Qingwan waved to Princess He Hua, He Hua raised her head, and ran over cheerfully after receiving Ruan Meiren's consent.

"Look at this little rabbit, I haven't had time to draw eyes yet. I have rouge here. How about He Hua draw eyes on the little rabbit?" Su Qingwan smiled softly.

"Okay." He Hua took the rouge from Su Qingwan's hand, and happily ran to Mu Luoluo's side, "Auntie is well."

"Princess Hehua." Mu Luoluo greeted him, and took a step back to make it easier for Su Qingwan to move.

He Watson's charming beauty, sensible and obedient, is really likable.

"Your Majesty likes children so much, why don't you go to the Princess Garden and get one under your knees?" Ruan Meiren asked.

Su Qingwan glanced at her, then looked at Hehua's serious look with a smile, "Princess Garden, there is only one Princess Hehua."

"Yes, my concubine is talking too much." Ruan Meiren knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she didn't say any more.

"Does it look good?" Princess Hehua looked up at Mu Luoluo, smiling like a flower, "Will Madam Su like it?"

"It's pretty." Mu Luoluo couldn't help but raised her hand and pinched Princess Hehua's cheek, "Why did you ask your maidservant Su Niangniang whether she likes it or not?"

"Because I think Madam Su's attitude towards aunt is different, and I think aunt knows Madam Su very well." He Hua smiled, and although the childish words were childish, they hit the nail on the head.

Mu Luoluo was dumbfounded, and looked up at Su Qingwan. The distance between the two was not far away. Su Qingwan must have heard those words just now.Su Qingwan shook her head slightly, signaling that she needn't worry.

"Masters, it's time for lunch." Jin Qing turned out from the inner room and said to several people in the courtyard.

"Let's go, let's go eat dumplings." Su Qingwan took Princess Hehua's little hand and walked into the house, "I don't serve dumpling bowls during the winter solstice, and no one cares about my ears being frozen." ①

"The bead flower on Jinqing's head is really unique." Mu Luoluo joked.

"Who says it's not? Wang Bi is working in front of the imperial court now, so the things he got are naturally top-notch." Su Qingwan turned her head and answered with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" Jin Qing blushed with embarrassment.

Ruan Meiren was puzzled at first, seeing the expressions of their master and servant, and then thinking of the face-to-face guard in front of the imperial court in recent days, she suddenly understood.

The snow outside the window has begun to rise again, adding a bit of winter atmosphere.

·

On the sixth day of the first month of the next year, Mu Xiaoxiao gave birth, mother and daughter were safe, the emperor was overjoyed, bestowed a title and a feast, and rewarded the whole palace.

The author has something to say:

①: Dumplings in the Tang Dynasty were called Laowan, because they didn’t sound very good, so the name of dumpling is still used.
