"The agate bracelet is really too immature." Su Qingwan said, "Except for the bracelet, there is no one to prove it. Based on the words of a few people, it is really difficult to say that this was done by the Shu family. People framed him, he must justify himself in every possible way, Ban's only chance of winning was the initial surprise, but Shu's reaction was extremely fast, even if this maid didn't show up, the matter would have to be settled if it dragged on for a while. "

"Hearing what you said, this round was decided by Ban Shibu?" Mu Luoluo asked.

"At first, I thought it was Ruan's arrangement, but when Jin Jieyu said that she was pregnant, I thought it should be Ban Jieyu who led the matter." Su Qingwan thought for a while and replied, "I think this bracelet is originally It should be prepared for Jin Jieyu."

"Let's hear it." Mu Luoluo looked at Su Qingwan with great interest.

"Jin Jieyu is pregnant, but the previous two births were quite difficult. It is estimated that the imperial physician will persuade her not to keep the baby, so Jin Jieyu approached Ruan Jieyu to discuss how to use this impossible child to destroy Shu's prestige. The musk bracelet was given to Shu Meiren because she expected Shu Meiren to wear it herself. In this way, Jin Jieyu could find an excuse to stay in the same room with Shu Meiren. Even if Shu Meiren's brilliant tongue can convince His Majesty I believe that Musk was not done by me, and with His Majesty's temper, if she loses a child because of her fault, even if she is not punished, she will be left out in the cold, and it will be easy for her to do other things later." Su Qingwan's dry mouth just happened to coincide with the two Has returned to Shangqing Palace.

The time Jin Qing poured the tea, Mu Luoluo also thought about the cause and effect of this matter.

"But Ruan and Jin never thought that Shu Meiren would give the bracelet to Duanmu Beauty instead." Mu Luoluo followed Su Qingwan's words, and Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo earnestly with her chin on her hand, "If Ruan Jieyu is really as scheming as you said At this time, I might give up this plan, find a time to untie the musk on the bracelet at will, or be puzzled, but Ban Jieyu suddenly came to the door and agreed on this situation. Give it a go, even if it doesn't work, Ban Shi will stand in the way."

"Don't move." Su Qingwan said, Mu Luoluo looked puzzled, "You look so charming, wait until I find a pen and ink to draw a picture."

Mu Luoluo was instantly amused, and her originally coherent thoughts were interrupted, so she could only hold her head and smile to see Su Qingwan really found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread it out in front of her.

"Ban Jieyu is lonely and arrogant, and she thinks she is noble. It is too naive to think that she can win a place in the palace just by word of mouth." Su Qingwan called Jinqing to come over to study ink, and raised her chin to signal Mu Luoluo to sit down, "today's business." , and taught her a lesson."

"However, Duanmu beauty is really brave. She still dares to carry musk on her body even though she knows she has it." Mu Luoluo adjusted her sitting posture. With Su Qingwan's temperament, it is unknown how long this painting will take.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Su Qingwan smiled meaningfully, and lowered her head. "However, if the incident of encountering a snake in the palace is really caused by Shu Mei, then I can't keep her."

"The person who secretly helps her should not be underestimated." Mu Luoluo reminded.

"Of course I know this." Su Qingwan raised her head and smiled brightly, "Okay, why bother us so much about other people's affairs, just sit down and don't move."

Mu Luoluo smiled indulgently, she really didn't move, only a pair of eyes followed Su Qingwan's movements.

"Mother, Xuemei Palace sent someone to announce the good news, saying that Ban Jieyu is two months pregnant." Zhu'er stepped forward and said.

"Send someone to send some supplements. If there is something missing, just fill it up." Mu Xiaoxiao responded casually, and dropped the sunspot that had been hesitating for a long time on her fingertips.

"This year is luck for descendants? Just three months into the new year, so many younger sisters are pregnant in the palace. Next year, the harem will be lively again." Zhou Zhaoyi laughed.

"Your Majesty's heirs are rare, and now this is the happiest, and you have to guard it carefully." Mu Xiaoxiao took a sip from the teacup while Zhou Zhaoyi was thinking.

"Who says it's not, no one knows what's going on if the child doesn't fall to the ground." Zhou Zhaoyi said casually while falling.

"Sister said this in front of Bengong, but she really doesn't treat Bengong as an outsider." Mu Xiaoxiao laughed, and gave Zhou Zhaoyi a half-truthful look.

"I'm just talking casually. Murdering the emperor's heir is a felony. I don't have the guts." Zhou Zhaoyi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly explained.

"Sister Zhou doesn't have such thoughts, but I can't guarantee that others don't." Mu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, and settled down without a pause.

Zhou Zhaoyi borrowed the movement of drinking tea, raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao has been in the palace for less than five years, but she is so mature and stable, this palace is really a grind.

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes to avoid Zhou Zhaoyi's sight, her eyes were dim.

"In a few days, Prince Li will return to Beijing to pay his respects. Concubine Li wants to get together with the sisters in the palace. I don't know what the empress would like?" Zhou Zhaoyi was distracted when she spoke, and was surrounded by Mu Xiaoxiao when she didn't pay attention, and hurriedly frowned. .

"Concubine Li has a happy temper, so the palace banquet must be boring. A few days ago, the imperial concubine also had a cup of water flowing through it. After repeated repetitions, she will eventually be in a good mood." Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a son, seeing Zhou Zhaoyi's delay Falling down, I simply picked up another piece to play with in my hand, "There is no spring hunting this year, why don't the sisters in the palace kill together, the right is to relax your muscles and bones."

"It's a good idea." Zhou Zhaoyi replied, this answer, on the contrary, he forgot the place where he thought about just now, and made another difficulty for a while.

"Sister, I'd better keep my mind on it, so that I can finish this game of chess with Bengong, and then think about other things." Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, signaling Zhen'er to come forward and change a pot of tea.

"That's right, I can't focus on two things anymore when I'm old." Zhou Zhaoyi laughed.

Mu Xiaoxiao held a stick between her fingertips, and tapped the table slowly and lightly. The Hongmen banquet is not over yet, and it's still unknown who will die.

"Ma'am, it's windy outside. The east wind is very warming." Jinqing pushed open the window, and the warm spring breeze came in, sweeping the whole room, bringing the scent of spring flowers and grass.

"You naughty thing." Su Qingwan was caught off guard, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to press the rice paper, and cursed with a smile.

"If you don't use the ruler, you can't blame others." Mu Luoluo put down the embroidery shed, and handed the white jade ruler over.

"You actually turned towards others! It really hurts my heart." Su Qingwan raised her eyes and angrily said to Mu Luoluo, "This is a prayer scripture copied for the Empress Dowager, there is no room for any mistakes."

"Since when did this servant become someone else? Auntie just said something fair." Jin Qing pursed her lips and smiled.

"He said it wasn't someone else. A few days ago, Wang Bi came to look for me and asked me to marry Miss Jinqing." Su Qingwan said with a smile, "He said that if I agree, he will go and ask His Majesty for a marriage."

"As long as Qingwan opens her mouth, you will be a member of the Wang family, and you are really an outsider." Mu Luoluo said while holding up the embroidery shed in her hand to show Jin Qing, "This mandarin duck was originally embroidered for Zixu. From the point of view of time now, it is more suitable for you."

Jin Qing stood there, her face flushed red, she bit her lip slightly, and kept tugging at the handkerchief in her hand, her sharp teeth were useless at this moment.

"A few days ago, I handed over a family letter to my family, thinking that my father would accept Jin Qing as a righteous daughter, marry in a good and prosperous way as a first wife, and have some status in the in-law's family in the future. I wonder if you would like it?" Su Qingwan looked at it with a smile. Looking at Jin Qing, Mu Luoluo supported her head with one hand, and also looked at Jin Qing with a smile.

Jin Qing was taken aback for a moment, then burst into tears, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "My servant thanked your mother for your kindness! This servant will never forget your kindness!"

"Okay, let's get up." Su Qingwan stretched out her hand to help her, "It's just this name, does it follow my Su family's generation?"

"Let the empress decide." Jin Qing's voice trembled, she was extremely happy.

"Daughters of this generation of the Su family, the direct branch comes from the Qing Dynasty and the Shu branch comes from the young, and the female character is at the bottom." Mu Luoluo said while pulling out a piece of rice paper from Su Qingwan's hand. Su Qingwan dipped the wolf hair in ink and handed it over. Mu Luoluo lowered her head and wrote. "How about this name?"

"Su Qingmao, very good." Su Qingwan nodded, then looked at Jinqing and smiled, "Look, Luoluo wishes for you to get married quickly, this boudoir name is already given to you."

"Ma'am..." Jin Qing's voice was like a mosquito.

"Okay, don't tease her anymore." Mu Luoluo gently pushed Su Qingwan's arm, "Go down first."

Jin Qing, as if she had received an amnesty, hurriedly blessed her body, and rushed out of the door in a hurry.

"I haven't played enough yet." Su Qingwan regretfully looked at Jin Qing's back as she left in a hurry, "This little girl has always been thick-skinned, it's rare that she's in such embarrassment, why don't you tease her more."

Before Mu Luoluo could answer, Hu Po tapped on the door frame and came in: "Your Majesty, the empress and empress sent someone to pass on the message that Princess Li entered the palace on March 28. I would like to take this opportunity for the sisters in the harem to bow together. If the empress has nothing to do, they will come together Go to the fun."

"I know, I asked that person to tell my mother back, saying that I will definitely live up to my mother's invitation." Su Qingwan nodded, and Hu Po stepped back in response.

"Are you going?" Mu Luoluo looked sideways, somewhat unexpectedly.

"That's natural. I mentioned it first. If I don't go, won't I let down Xiaoxiao's good intentions?" Su Qingwan got up while talking, and walked to the bookcase.

"A few days ago you sent Hei Yao to Fengyi Palace for this purpose?" Mu Luoluo asked after thinking.

"Hmm." Su Qingwan tiptoed slightly, rummaged through the bookshelves, and asked casually, "What do you think of Hei Yao?"

"Youth's mind is malleable." Mu Luoluo said.

"It seems that I have found a treasure to have such a high reputation from Miss Mu." Su Qingwan laughed, "This child is somewhat similar to Jinqing. When Jinqing gets married, I want her to replace Jinqing." seat."

"It's worthy of this job." Mu Luoluo nodded, watching Su Qingwan come back with another Buddhist scripture and put it in front of her.

"If you have nothing to do, copy a few copies for me." Su Qingwan winked at Mu Luoluo and said coquettishly.

With Su Qingwan's expression, Mu Luoluo naturally had no way of rejecting it. She put the embroidery shed aside, raised her hand and gently pinched the tip of Su Qingwan's nose, and looked down at the Buddhist scripture, which was the Lotus Sutra of Miaofa.

Mu Luoluo felt suspicious, and raised her eyes to look at Su Qingwan. The latter's eyes were dark, and she nodded slightly. Mu Luoluo suddenly sighed.

The author has something to say:

① Miaofa Lotus Sutra: This sutra is often used for salvation.
